Long-Range Inferior Program
BY PETER EDSON
: NFA Washington Correspondent,
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Receritly returned
from. a.six weeks' inspection of Department of
Interior projects in every western state except
Nevada, Secretary J. A, Krug is préparing to push
forward a long-range program for his bureaus of
the guvermnenl.
Krug'nelthe:' talks nor shows signs of leaving
the ‘cabinet. Twice before in the last three years
he has been ready to resign and return to private
busi_ness. But at those particular moments he has
been. under attack in Congress or {rom some
lobisy: that has wanted to get him out of office.
Krug i§ not one to quit under fire. He will prob
ably be around for some time to come.
He believes that President Truman now has an
opportunity even better than President Roosevelt
ever had to expand conservation programs, Krug
admits that these programs may cost a lot of
money—perhaps twice this year's $400,000,000 an
nual appropriations for all Department of Interior
activities. But “he says all these things begin to
pay ort as fast as the investiments are completed.
“Roesevelt’s power program, as carried through
by President Truman, has provided more spark
for free enterprise than any other one business
incentive,” says Krug., “It wus choked off by the
80th Congress, but there is now a chance to revi
talize it.” .
BFLIEVES SOIL CONSERVATION
MOST IMPORTANT
Krug believes soil conservation is the most im
portant- thing on his program. Depariment ol
Agriculture has responsibility on privately owned
land, Department oi Interior on the public do
main. The two agencies are working together on
it. '.lf\he;problem of erogion control is particularly
bad.. in Arizona and New Mexico, extending up
into. Oklahoma. But it needs attention all over.
This can come best througn systematic develop
ment of river valleys. Krug hunself faors the
Ternessee Valley type of “Authority,” which has
many management advantages in working across
state lines. ; ;
Department of Interior is now Iready to 20
ahead on nearly all major valley projects, says
Krug. The Missouri basin ‘plan nas been agreed
on. Bureau of Reclamation nas completed tis sur
veys:of the Columbia valley, but six months mere
will bße needed t¢ complete Ariny Corps of Engi
neers plans, then reconcile hie two.
The Colorado basin plan is complete, except for
reconciliation of the Nevada-Arizona-Calitornia
water rights problem, which will require Cone—-Ts.
sional cation. Rio Grande and St. Lawrence vai
ley enginecring plans are complete. Only the
Arkansas, Red and White River valley projects
are still in the ptanning stage. “‘l'his,” says Krug,
“js the Garden of Eden opportunity.”
Cn .mineral resources, Krug says a 20-year plan
is needed te tind out what we have and what
policeis are necessary to save metals in short
su;fi}ly._As an example, he mentions that alumi
num and magnesium are plentiful, although pro
cesses for refining low-grade ores are not tully
developed. These metals should be used more
wiqély” so as to conserve supplies of copper and
irong.: ic
NEED PLANTS FOR PRODUCING
OIL FROM COAL
Regardless of arguments over the size of Am
eriea’s oil reserves, Krug points to the still rapidly
increasing consumptior: to show the need for per
fecting processes for producing synthetic oils from
shale and coal. What's needed is the construction
of three commercial plants to produce shale oil
and 01l from coal by hydrogenation and synthe
sis processes now in pilot plant tesis.
Development of more electric power will save
fuel.oil. More power is the crying need for the
northwest. Congress is to be asked for deficiency
apb}jo;;riafions for additional installations at
Cop%@e.'McNary and Hungry Yorse dams on the
Columpia will have to be speeded up and the new
Hell’s Canyon dam on the Idaho-Gregon border
breught ihto production. ;
Shasta and Friant dams are completed in Cai
ifornia, but the Central Valley can’t be made
efizctive untib transmission lines and canals are
built, and punips installed to get the water on the
land._and prevent crchards and farms from drying

Fascism Raises A Relative
- Orators, statesmen and writers have
been hammering away at Fascism so long
that any further verbal belaborings may
soon be considered in the same light as
beating a dead dog. Unfortunately in this
case the dog is not dead and probably
never will be so long as greed and hate
remain as motivating forces for human
behavior.
Fascism has sprouted a new branch on
its family tree—Communighg.® .
The world’s newest problem child
wasn’t born yesterday, but it’s just
reached the mature stage where its pois
onous fangs are capable of injecting
deadly portions.
Fascism was — and still is in part—a
disease. We've seen it turn Germans into
howling animals lusting for blood and re
velling in the most unspeakable tortures
their hate-poisoned minds could invent.
Of course we have seen Americans
turned into howlin ganimals lusting for
blood and revelling in torture — but we
called that “iynch law” and considered it
a separate disease.
Communism — like Fascism — is regi
mentation. We've learned that too; and
we're not going to forget the fantastic
version of brown-shirted storm troopers
wershipping their paranoiac chief in
shrieking masses. ;
Or has that vision begun to fade—or is
the world being infected with the same
disease under a different name? The
same symptoms are evident today abroad
and at home.,
Hatred is a basic component of Com
munism as we know it today. We are not
going to forget the good sound Germans
who glowed with patriotic accomplish
ment after spitting in the face of the Jew.
Of course we're going to recognize hatred
of minorities as a symptom of the disease
with “two titles.”
But mayne we're going to recognize
this symptom only in the other fellow’s
backyard. Let’s hope that all the com
tortable little practices of economic dis
crimination employed in this country
won’t be diagnosed as a symptom of a
different disease. We are far too civilized
to spit in the face of our minorities, but
we have ne compunction about isclating
them.
We must remember that Communism
works on the same principle as the hook
worm—it seeks a soft spot, flourishes off
the warmth and nourishment of the main
body and slowly works its way into the
vital organs of its benefactor.
Fascism has become a defeated and
time-worn term by the phrase-writers so
there appears a new name brand—
basked by the same ingredients.
But Faseism stayed in style long enough
to be tabled by the world doctors—and its
symptoms can easily be applied to the so
called new disease.
It can be labeled very similar to mala
ria — infeetion — chills — fever — ane
mia — pain — possible death . . . Fas
cism—-(Communism) —state above self—-
nation above humanity — mobs—intoler
ance — hatred and minorities.
Seniority Rules in House
And Senate
One of the important questions facing
the national House and Senate is that of
continuing the custom of appointing com
mittee chairmen according to the senior
ity of their service. On account of the
custom of Southern members staying in
service for lenger periods of time than the
members from other sections of the coun
try, objection is raised to a continuance of
that rule as giving undue recognitidn to
the South, and the point is also raised that
the average age of the Southern commit
tee chairmen is too high, and that yvounger
men should fill these important positions.
As we see it, there is no valid reason for
changing this custom. 'These older men,
by virtue of their long years of legislative
experience, are in better position to ren
der efficient service than younger and
untried men. The best resuits can be
gained hy letting this custom stand. }

| ECHOES FROM MEMORY!LAND ‘
I.'Thursday, Nov. 25th, The Eighty-Sixth Birthday Of
| Prof. David L. Earnest. '
BY T. W. REED :
~ Some of the following are Ech
oes from Memoryland and there
will no doubt be others yet to be
added, for the gentleman of whom
I am now writing is still with us
and gives promise of other years
of life as he goes onward across
the western hills.
| Thursday, Nov. 25th, will be
the eighty-sixth birthday of one
}of Athens’ oldest and most honor
ed citizens, Professor David Lewis
‘Earnest. He may resent my calling
}him old, for in spirit he is still
boyish. He still has the spry and
active step of youth and the mer
}ry twinkle has not disappeared
from his eyes. ’
Throughout his long life he has
paid the proper attention to his
physical well-being and it has
carried him far beyond the four
score milepost on life’s journey.
For the greater part of his life he
has been devoted to bicycling and
he and his bicycle have become
familiar to all the people of Ath
ens across the years. Even at his
present age the bicycle is his fav
orite vehicle of transportation,
Intellectually he shows no sign
of waning powers. He possesses to
day the keen, analytical mind that
‘has always been manifest in his
‘'work as a teacher. Full of wit and
humour he is the center of con
versation among gatherings of his
friends and he has such a wonder
ful reportoire of anecdotes and il
lustrations that in his lectures,
scome of which at times he still
delivers, he never fails to com
mand the attention and admira
tion of his hearers.
Life As Teacher
His whole life has been devoted
to teaching, covering a period of
more than sixty years. His chief
‘ef!ort has been in the line of seci
ence. The greater part of his
‘teaching was at the old State Nor
'mal School, later on the Georgia
State Teachers College here in
Athens. He took a personal interest
‘in all the students who came under
‘his tutelage. Almost all of his
teaching has been in girls’ schools
‘and colleges. He had the exalted
privilege of teaching thousands of
Georgia’s most representative
young women. He was a loyal and
respected friend of all of them and
they all esteemed his friendship in
the highest degree.
A field of great interest to him
was photography. His camera was
almost as constant a companion as
his bicycle. He was among the
earliest advocates of visual educa
ticn in Georgia. He witnessed the
gradual but extensive development
of visual education throughout thé
state until now it is given choice
and effective attention in most of
our schools. s
Many years ago, before movi
pictures were shown, he pu:t\:tafi
pictures he had taken on gldss
slides and exhibited them at enter
tainments for the pleasure and in
struction of his audiences. .
If there is one thing that has
characterized Professor Earnest all
his life it has been his cordial and
democratic attitude towards all
people. His grasp of the hand was
always cordial, his greeting kind
ly, and he took great pleasure in
making visitors to Athens feel per
fectly at home. He was a welcom
ing committee of one at all times.
He has been a great character
builder. He never neglected the

giving of inspiration to students,
but his chief inspiration was tow
ards the building of their charac
ters up on the highest plane. And
that is what all of them appreciat
ed and caused them to hold him in
admiration and loving remem
brances long after they had left
college and many of them had sent
their children to college to be un
der his guidance.
His Contribution
Thus he has made an invaluable
contribution to Georgia and has
spread his splendid influence
through all sections of the state.
In almost all the counties in Geor
gia he has numerous friends who
join in wishing him well in
whatever years of life may lie
ahead for him.
He has always been essentially
and unostentatiously a Christian
gentleman, a close student of the
Bible, a follower and teacher of its
precepts devoted to his church in
all the phases of his work. He is
a consistent member of the Meth
odist Church, has served many
vears on the Board of Stewards,
teacher in the Sunday School,
member of various committees, al
ways at Sunday morning services
to welcome visiting people.
He will tomorrow be the recipi
ent of hundreds of congratulatory
letters and telegrams wishing for
him years of health and happiness
and sweet content.
‘ Should he ever be prevailed
upon to write his autobiography it
{would be a most interesting book.
!.Just to make the record more or
‘lests complete, here is a condensed
statement of the facts of his life
;and of his services in several in-,
{ stitutions.
i Professer Earnest was born in
Greenville, Tennessee, Nov. 25,
1862. He is therefore not a native
of the United States but of the
' Confederate States of America.
Appomattox came when he was a
little over two years old, there
fore his allegiance has been to our
jreunited country. He is a typical
i Southerner but above that he is
!an enthusiastic American. He
I graduated with first honor from
|Peabody in 1885. He taught in
| Mississippi and Alabama before

ence Department and after four
years there he returned to Ath
ens in 1897 as head of the Science
department at the State Normal
School. Later on the name of that
-eollege was changed to the Geor
gia State Teachers College. He
mained as @ member of that farml
