305,175,780 to Lose While 3,911 Win, Postal In spector Says. _ By the Associated Press. DENVER, April 20 —A weary post office Inspector surveyed a column of figures tonight and concluded that the mail-jamming “send-a-dime and redistribute wealth” chain letter scheme soon may involve every one who can read and write. "You carry this thing through 12 turnovers and you have the astound ing result that the letter will go to 305.175.780 persons, said the inspector, Roy E. Nelson. Nelson was called into conference by Postmaster J. O. Stevie after the Denver post office was flooded with the letters. Stevie said the mail rush was “almost as bad as at Christmas.” Postal receipts have soared $20,000 in 12 days—and they're still on the climb. 305,173,780 Will Lose. “A little figuring showed me that if the chain is carried through with out a break only 3.911 persons of the 305.175.780 will receive the reward that is promised, a cash sum total ing $1,562.50,” Nelson said. “The other 305,171,869 persons will receive nothing.” The chain letters first began ap pearing here about a week ago. They ask the receiver to place his name on a list inclosed in the letter. The sender scratches off the top name and sends a dime to the ad dress given. The sender's name is placed at the bottom and he is asked to copy the letter and the list and to send it to five friends. May Get 15,625 Dimes. When his name reaches the top, 15,625 persons who have received let ters are supposed to have sent him a dime each, or a total of $1,562.50 in return for his dime and five stamps. Nelson said the scheme was illegal because it is against the law to so licit money through the mails and furthermore that it came under the classification of a lottery. He had a hard time convincing those partici pating. Stevie said the letters are being delivered, because they cannot be de tected. Nelson made no effort to stop delivery but said he was in terested in tracking down the sponsors. NATURE ASSOCIATION HEAD HITS DARLING Pack Answers Non-Support Plea by Asking "More Stimulant, Less Dope.” "More stimulant and less dope" Is the keynote of a stinging answer made by Arthur Newton Pack, presi dent of the American Nature Associa tion. to complaints of Jay N. Darling, chief of the United States Bureau of Biological Survey, that conservation groups have not been supporting him with action. "Those truly interested in wild life conservation do not know where Darling stands,” Mr. Pack declared. “They have been unable to reconcile ft destructive duck hunting season, such as the last one. the continuation of baiting and the use of live decoys, the wild life poison program of the bureau, and other policies with true conservation. Furthermore, he has not called on the American Nature Association for specific support. He has not told us what he wanted us to do, and now he complains that we do nothing." Citing the need of militant leader ship that "would not reflect the tongue-in-cheek attitude of so-called conservation groups of sportsmen who \ want to have their game and kill It, j too,” Pack continued: "Although the nearly 6.000.000 hunting licenses per year reveal an army of killers all out of proportion to our diminishing wild life resources, there is a great body of non-killers that will follow leader ship” To his own attack upon Darling, Pack added one received by him from Mrs. Halbert Handelan of Chicago, tenth district conservation chairman of the Women’s Clubs of Illinois. Mrs. Handelan accused Darling of cater ing to “petty politicians” in that dis trict.

Va., April 20.— The story of a city which has “moved backward Into the protection of the past” was told here today by the son of the parson who first dreamed of restoring Williamsburg to its Colonial appearance. Rutherford Goodwin, the son of Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin, has written “a brief and true report for the traveler concerning Williamsburg in Virginia.” The compact little volume, richly antique in appearance, is “written in the manner of early Virginia his torians.” The author says it tells the story of this ancient Colonial me tropolis from the seventeenth cen tury days, when as “Middle Planta tion” it was a "wide-scattered settle ment in which no man need to be disturbed by the walling of his neigh bor's offspring.” With its hand-set Caslon old-style type, lamp-black ink and ancient looking rag paper, the book carries the reader through two centuries, telling of the stirring Revolutionary days and of those in which Williams burg, "some observers held * • • fell into a sleep; while others pro tested that it was not a sleep but e. soliloquy (which is a talking to one's self).” The story ends with a description of how John D. Rockefeller decideJ to undertake the fulfillment of Dr. Goodwin’s plan, "which plan was soon defined as an endeavor to restore ac curately and to preserve for all time the most significant portions of an historic and Important city of Amer ica's Colonial period.” "And this plan and endeavor are now fulfilled; so that the city which In the year 1926 looked forward to a future of little promise has instead moved backward into the protection of a past which in the annals of American history is unexcelled,” the author says.

NEW YORK, April 20.—The presi dents of two of America's largest corporations—Gerard Swope and Al fred P. Sloan, jr.,—joined tonight in a plea for revival of International trade as a necessary prelude to con tinued world peace. ‘World trade, American recovery and world peace are intimately linked together," said Swope, president of the General Electric Co. "Peace is a fundamental of neighborly trade, domestic trade or world trade." "It seems clear to me," asserted Sloan, head of the General Motors : Corp., "that political disturbances i within any country or political dif- ; ferences between countries, resulting too frequently in armed conflict, de velop primarily through the urge of economic necessity.” Both spoke under the auspices of the World Peace Foundation and the National Advisory Council on Radio in Education over a N. B. C. network. Discussing obstacles to world trade recovery, Swope said: "It is essential that the currency of foreign exchange we receive should have the same power as at the time our goods are sold. "In this respect the world today is fearfully upset." Sloan urged a broader American outlook on world trade. "I am satisfied," he continued, “that looking at this problem from even the most selfish standpoint, we cannot adequately capitalize the op portunities of our great country, and obtain what we are entitled to. if we assume a position of isolation.” -•-7 ARMY FINANCE SCHOOL DIPLOMAS GIVEN 36 Gen.
