NEW YORK, October 10.—A survey of hunting experts in the Canadian border provinces indicates that the American duck huniing season, which opened today in nine Northern States, will be the best in five years. ‘The survey, conducted by the More Game Birds Foundation of New York, estimated the season’s crop at 48,000, 000, an increase of 15 per cent over last year, but predicted that hunters in Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan would have little luck in the first few days of the season because of exceptionally mild weather this Autumn in Canada. Reports from the Canadian mari- time provinces, however, promised good hunting immediately in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, the three other States whose seasori be- gan today. Divided Into Zones.

A prosperous world has no permanent room in it for dictatorship or for war.” The President pledged his adminis- tration to continued support for the co-operative farming idea and said the triple A had as its foundation and its essence the ‘“co-operative” idea. “Administered locally by commu- nity committees selected by the farm- ers themselves,” he sald, “it was a picture of economic democracy in action—and, as you know, I believe in action.” The presidential special reached Des Moines at 5 am.

INCINNATI, October 10.—Mr. William Hard in his nightly broadcasts continues to present devastating evidence of cor- ruption and political pressure in the Pennsylvania W. P. A. It is bad enough to purchase the support of special groups by subsidizing with the taxpayers’ money, but that sort of bribery pales in the light of Mr. Hard’s disclosures. The New Deal practice of “political clearance” reaches into the life of the humblest worker on W. P. A. projects. They are told that they are working on Roosevelt jobs, that they are being paid with Roosevelt money, and that in order to hold those jobs and get that money, they must X oneer and vote for Roosevelt. They are threatened with dismissal if they fail to cone tribute out of their meager pay to New Deal campaign funds.

A WINDOW on the third floor of the’ Police Court broken 30 years ago and has never vet been repaired, according to Judge Ralph Given. “1 know because I broke it myself,” Judge Given says. However, the fact that the hole is still there is due to the fact that it renders daily service to bailiffs, jdiges, police officers and attorneys, and that they do not want it fixed. The hole—about an inch and a half in diameter—is in a window of frosted glass that looks from the third floor into the second floor court room. From the third floor, using that aperture, you can tell at a glance whether some one you want in a hurry is in the lower court room.

Bad weather, which accompanied him all the way on his flight from Barneo, may help speed him back to New York. The possibility arose that he would board the Philippine Clipper at dawn tomorrow for the trans- Pacific flight instead of waiting for the China Clipper's flight next week, as he planned.
