•
The Sentinel reprints below a por­
tion of an open letter, written by
Amos Pinchot to the president of the
United States analayzing the New
Deal's latest pump-priming efforts.
The whole letter is a severe indict­
ment of the New Deal policies of the
party in power, and is written by a
man who says he was a supporter of
Mr. Roosevelt at the last election.
The Sentinel will probably use
more of the letter next week, but this*
week confines its extract to the part
which tells of “Tommy-tbe-Cork”

should be scattered from an airplane,
