Mams From Poland Ruin Business, Says Packer i Austin, Minn.--How American packers, workers and the farmers • from wlioni the packers buy are suffering "•from the steady Increase In Polish cooked hams imported, Into the United States since the Roosevelt "scarcity" prograAi began to take its toll, Is graphically set forth In "The Squeal." house organ of the Hormel Packing company here. "The invasion of the American market by packing house operators of Poland with their Polish canned ham has < reached such proportions as to disrupt the American production of canned hams. The Hormel company has been stymied in its sale of canned hams and has been unable to employ its normal labor In its canned ham department," says the publication. "Shortly after the AAA became effective, Polish hams began appearing on the New York market Little by little the Polish ham sales grew. Despite a processing tax of $7.50 a hundredweight, and despite the tariff, believed to have been eased under a reciprocal trade treaty by the American state department with Poland, the Polish hams undersold the American canned ham, including the Hormel (Minnesota) canned ham. Already by the time of the. Supreme court decision on the AAA, the Polish hams were flooding th$ American market. On the day after the decision, with the $7.50 tax no longer required, Polish canned hams dropped from 34 to 28 cents a pound." WPA LENDS A HAND Chicago^--The Works Progressadministration during March fur. niehed Don C. Rogers, school survey director here, 800 watchmen to show Mr. Rogers what they could do. They showed him plenty. But his monthly report showed him more. It revealed that In March, 1935, when there were no WPA watchmen to protect the schools, 1,700 window panes were broken. But in March, 1936, under the WPA's eagle eye, 3,000 were broken. "Hoodlums," explained Rogers, referring to the vandale who shattered the windows.

Washington.--The United States national debt, according to the report of the treasury department, was 31 billion 428 million dollars on April 29 as compared with 28 billion 674 million on the same date last year. WPA Director Snubs ; > Campaign Fund; Fired Sfattle, Wash.--State Senator George Ht. Gannon, Works Progress administrator for the state of Washington, was dismissed by National Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, three days after Gannon had announced his resignation effective June 1. Gannon declared that he had been "fired"' because of his refusal to permit funds to be collected from his employees to hire a sound wagon for a state tour of United States Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach this summer. He revealed that In a previous collection of funds from his employees at the direction of Postmaster James A. Farley, his office alone had contributed $300. Gannon returned to employees $3,629 previously collected for Schwellenbach and informed Hopkins of his act, saying that the workers needed "all they earn to buy food for their families." Second Lesson Tells How to Dodge Eggs THE CRACKER BARREL Apparently there is no dearth of prosperity in the "canrred speech" industry in Washington. Measured by volume, it is probably the leading American industry. Each one of the alphabetical agencies has its own writers, aided by a corps of statistical experts, busily engaged in pre-' paring "canned" speeches for delivery by New Deal advocates at important meetings, over the radio und on the floor of congress. The White House, of course, can call on any or all of these "ghost" writers for assistance when occasion demands. Washington.--Wives of Democratic senators and congressmen are attending a campaign class conducted by the Women's National Democratic club, studying ways to improve their ortitory. The Democratic club, according to an Associated Press dispatch, has issued the following advice to women who are going in training for public speaking: To relax the voice--hum through the nose. To perfect diction--speak Witt a piece of wood In the mouth. To banish stage fright--yawn generously. To improve posture--rest the jawbone on the two palms and rotate the skull gently on the top vertebra. One of those statistical fellows could probably figure how many times this "canned" product would circumscribe the Universe.
