W Per sons living will nee a population of 230,000,000 in the United State if the present rate of Jnorrawo keopB up. nccordinir to Proirttnor A. It. Wolfe of Ohio State UnfverN.ty, RfionkinK here before the American Vintisticnl Anoi'intion. Hut it will not keep up, m the profewnor k opin- ion. Ho ih fairljr certain tho women themmlven, the potontial motliern of the future, will take meaHurty to pre vent it. "Unions increase in quickly anil Rreutly retanlccl, reaching tho sutur ntion point it a .matter -of only a few generations at most, not tlioun hikIh of yearn nH popularly Hiippnued," PrefcHKor Wolfo Raid, "In the nh- HPtico of an improbable revolutionary improvement in agriculture, we uhnll be pointedly confronted with tke choice of reducing either our bin Ii nito or our standard of living. A very CMHcittinl part of tho population problem is to get the people to see that they arc confronted with a con dition, not n theory. "Kven if it could bo demonstrated that this country could support fi0. 000,000 people by eliminating waste and Kiviiur iin meat, the standard ! of living would continue to fall and tho problem of numbers continually get worse. Tho only happy people would be the sword-rattling generals. Many of us today are victims of our unthinking American worship of sine mid growth, without inquiry into the ' human values involved. Professor Wolfe scores the opti mists who believe that progress can work miracles. "They rnly on migra tion and Invention, They see vast empty spaces. The state of Texas especially appeals to their imagina tion. Most of them have never been there. "What are the facts? "Only inferior lands, limited in ex tent, remain for settlement. Progress itself involves a paradox. It is in conceivable that technical advance can maintain the pace it set in what "Wallace called "the wonderful cen tury and which Keynes thinks may prove to have been a magnificient episode.' In the main, future im provements are to be looked for in the fourth decimal place. There is a limit to the degree to which cheap ened manufacturers can offset in creasing costs in extracting raw ma terials from nature's resources which are being exhausted with whirlwind rapidity. Taking up the opposition to birth control, Professor Wolfe declared: "It is a fault of population theory that it Is man-made. Such attitudes never count the vital costs of a high birth rate the costs to the women of the race. The very essence of economy is to balance real costs Against rear income. A valid popula tion theory must take account of the way in which half the race, hitherto practically ignorcJ, will calculate the coats as against the satisfactions of largo fumilies." , "Mystery Girl" Still Puzzles Alienists .

The (jiHMlinii is what did he do with it V" Johns! on was' of mr opinion that an investigation of the .K.71,000 In fines which Cleaver claims credit for would show that he did not come any where near that nuiounl. Coos Not Beit Another statement of Cleuver that he attacked wus the assertion that Coos county wus the banner county of the state in law enforcement. Figures, he said, would show that Washington county was the banner county, and thut Lane county was ahead of Cuus. Johnston attacked tbe report as at tempting to blackguard the law offi cers of the state. Another point of attack was relative to two small au tomobiles Jisted in the report, John ston cluiwing. that Cleaver uaes i state-owned car of larger make. Senator Hare, asking "several ciucs- lions placed into his hand by Cleav er, wanted to know from Johnston if he ever said to Cleaver; i '! have used intoxicating liipi'or all my life and always expect to." "I did not," answered Johnston, "I told him that 1 have ti.ken a few drinks in my life and might again." Asked his opinion as to whut the low should he Johnston said be believ ed in a central supervisory power lodged in the attorney general. ' Senator Staples Speaks Senator SLapIus was sworn as a witness to testify about conditions at Iteedspurt where he is heavily inter ested. His testimony was in refuta tion of that offered in the aftcmoun by Sheriif Stanner of Douglas coun ty, ii tanner bad said that although Cleaver swore to the complaint before the Keedspuit justice iu the bribery case, all the evidence had been ob tained by the sheriff s office uud the conviction thut sent three men to prison was all upon evidence so pro cured. Senator Staples argued thut prior and during a part of there wus no law enforcement at Kcedsport and thut conditions were "terrible. . "Sheriff Starmer is a nice man," said Stuples, "hut ha is ulwuys ready to listen to uny song and dunce from anybody. Cleuver absolutely cleuncd up Itcedsport, und it is in good con dition today us a result of his work." Mr. cleaver Called Mr. Cleuver was the final witness called. Explaining Johnston's claim about the cur he uses, he suid the cost of the cur wuu uncounted for hi his report and entered Into his bal ance, but thut iuudVerteutly the mime of the car hud been left out of the report. Cleaver contradicted Johnston's as sertion about inoro than fivo men being on sulury at any one time. He explained thut any person who oper ated for him, if only for a day, was given a number, which accounted for iimI kn-'iv of any still taken Cleaver agent except one, und that by a- state agent working under the sheriff's direction. And yet, he s:iid, state agents were paid lfl)Ni Uy the county, and one of them $ll!u6 for about three weeks work. Roberts tpioted one of Cleaver's men hs having (piotej Cleaver as say ing: "Weve got to get n sheriff or two. We want our records to show the conviction of some sheriffs for violation of the prohibition law." ".So they tried to get me," Jtoberts went on. Asked his opinion of the state pro hibition department, Koberjri replied: "I thwk it is thes bunk as fur us cooperation with local officers is concerned, but with the - right head and management I think it would be one of the most efficient organiza tions in the field. Koberts luter declared that he was for the repeal of the net. Itoberts (lectured that Cleaver's agents had never offered td cooperate with him but hud ignored him entirely. Concerning Itoy Furuhum, who was appointed prosecutor by Gover nor Pierce, Itoberts said Farnhuni hnd a reputation ns a prohibitionist but did nothing to enforce the law, "Did he back you in your efforts to enforce the lnw?" 1 'JIe never mentioned It to me."
