"JITTERY" CAPITOL FIGHTS FOR POISE AFTER PARTY ROW Repercussions From State Committee Meeting Give Hill Employes Some Uneasy Moments MORE WORRIES TO COME It has taken Capitol Hill and the various branches of the State government scattered through the cities and counties most of ten days to get calmed down after the disturbance in party affairs incident to the meeting of the Democratic State Committee just before the end of February, Fos siblv certain of the folk in the de partments have not yet stabilized their viewpoint of Democratic matters because apprehension as to just what is going to happen next January is very keen, especially when Gifford Pinchot's name is mentioned. Governor Earle has probably done more flying at least as far as separate trips are concerned than in many months and pos sihlv his total mileage for ten days will be near his total because of the flight to New Mexico. There is an earnest hope that the charming first lady of Pennsylvania will speedily recover her health in the Southwest for she is extremely well liked among the people on Capitol Hill, as well as every where else. The Governor has renewed his demands that the roads be made safer and his insistence upon arrests of sDeeders and summary treatment of "soused" drivers has been backed by wrath following his study of reports of accidents. Governor Earle has developed a strength of opinion about various policies and an aggressiveness in administrative matters the past six months that is one of the interesting Dhases of a term certain people thought would be marked by executive indifference after the first legislative session ended.

Mr. Earle has in quite a few respects been a busy, surprising and decisive governor. He got his own way in many legislative matters, handled the deSchweinitz difficulty effectively and displayed when least anticipated some of the coolness and thoroughness of his distinguished father. And not the least manifestation of his personality has been the way he has gone after and cinched the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. Manner in which Liquor Board Member J.

Twing Brooks came down on the liquor enforcement situation in Pittsburgh was among the recent high points on the Hill. Apparently that knotty proposition had been placed on Brooks' desk half a year or more ago and three dozen inspectors gathered in bushels of evidence. Now there will be a series of hearings and revocation of licenses. It is one of the most effective pieces of work the Board has done and one of the most explosive because it will rattle through various counties just when enforcement needs to be given a large amount of stiffening. It is said holders of licenses who keep the law have been holding up their heads again in Pittsburgh.

State Revenue figures are not so rosy as anticipated last fall. For instance, personal property collections in February, expected to be the big month, were only about seven and a half millions. On the other hand gasoline tax went over a million and since June 1 has produced $10,720,000. Cigaret, corporations, banks, transportation and liquor taxes have been big payers. Incidentally Attorney General Charles J.

Mar giotti has reported the Department of Justice, of which he is the boss, was a money maker for the State government, turning in half a million dollars more than it cost Father Penn in 1937. It is now in the million dollar class.

CALIFORNIA DEAN DESCRIBES FLOOD IN WESTERN STATE Letter to Brother Confirms Harrisburg Telegraph Message of Woman's Safety MUD IS SIXFEET DEEP A description of conditions in flood swept Southern California is given by Miss Alverta Hertzler, a former resident of Harrisburg, now dean of San Bernardino Senior High School, in a letter received late yesterday by a brother, rt. Hertzler, 3252 Green street. Miss Hertzler is a native of Har risburg.

She was educated in the city schools and for a number of years was a member of the choir of Messiah Lutheran Church. sne has been living in California since 1926. Her letter, written last Sunday and sent airmail, confirmed news of her safety obtained by the Harrisburg Telegraph after her brother had expressed anxiety over lack of word from her. San Bernardino suffered incon venience but little damage, she said, although the water was only a few inches from the doorstep of her home at the crest of the flood. The greatest problem at the senior high school, she pointed out, was in finding shelter for several hundred children who could not get to their homes because of washed out highways.

HARRISBURG 5tSb TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY EVENING MARCH 9, 1938 5 "Can you imagine such a flood in California?" Miss Hertzler wrote, "especially dry, dusty old Southern California, where every body is eternally wishing for rain. "We are not allowed into the flooded areas although we did get to Colton yesterday. It took us about an hour and a half to go about eight miles.

"Some sections are covered with mud, silt and debris to a depth of five or six feet. "I know now how you all most have felt in Harrisburg digging your homes out of mud and debris back in 1936. "Many of the numerous one story bungalows are half filled with mud now that the water is gone, and others have been washed away. "One hundred and fifty nine lives were lost that they know of and the Red Cross predicts that the total will go to 400, since many are missing. "Highways and railroads are in bad shape.

They think the Santa Fe lines in Cajon Pass can't be opened for at least two weeks.

HUGE FUND NEEDED FOR ELIMINATION OF ROAD DANGERS Safety Demands and Traffic Pressure Emphasized in Three States Reports COST 62, 150,000 Because of today's traffic pres sure, obsolescence, and general safety demands, more than $162, 150,000 is needed to bring up to date the highways of three States, according to reports made by State highway departments to the American Association of State Highway Officials. This sum is needed to rebuild, relocate and widen the roads and bridges of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. These facts were assembled to show the need for continuing Federal highway aid on its present basis.

Comprehensive data on all States was presented recently at the congressional road hearings by the highway officials' association. "This fieure Droves bevond question that the highway job is far from finished." said C. H. Pur cell, president of the association. The projects listed by the highway officials are all urgently needed for safety and cheaDer ve hicle operation, and, in fact, the $162,150,000 mentioned is very conservative, for only about one fifth of the State highways were covered in the reports." Highway officials in these States report a total of 2845 miles of highways which should be rebuilt at a total cost of $104,800,000.

Roads too narrow to safely carry their present traffic are listed at 634 miles. The cost of widening these roads to meet present day needs would be $16,600,000. 508 Miles Dangerous More than 508 miles should be relocated to avoid abruDt curves. dangerous grade crossings and blind spots in the highways which endanger the motorist's life. This would cost $38,400,000.

Inadequate bridges, considered by highway engineers as one of the greatest danger factors, could be wi dened or rebuilt in these States at a cost of $2,350,000, according to the reports. The total COsti of thesp Imnrnvt. ments to the highways in the three States, as estimated bv the stat highway officials, would be: Penn HELP STOMACH DIGEST FOOD Without LaxatiTW nd WU Eat Eferythinf from Saup Nuts Tha stomach Diould difnt I wo pounds of fon4 dally.
