20 Lasser Makes Capitol Talk His Resignation From Alliance Brings Up Many Reminders People on Capitol Hill are talk ing about the retirement of David Lasser from the presidency of the Workers' Alliance and wondering whether Royal H. Stephens had anything to do with it Mr. Stephens is a familiar figure in the State House, especially during sessions and has advocated real patriotic measures in his own way. Some times he has won, some times he has been snuobed, some times he has lost. No one doubts his sincerity and all have been impressed by his energy and persistence.

The Alliance chief was the "works" of the "siege of the Senate" in the special session in the hot days of the summer of 1936. He staged the demonstrations and was a cool citizen when called to conferences. He left Harrisburg for Springfield when the gallery racket in the Senate chamber began to wane, but did not get as far as in this city or half as far as he did in Trenton before coming to Harrisburg. The Stephens drive started in the session of 1937, when Lasser's record began to be talked about, and he never let up. Some weeks ago the indefatigable Stephens was here, talking about ways to expose Lasser's life and aims and opening a contact with the Dies committee which may have had some bearing upon the departure from a place of action of a man much in a little brief limelight on Capitol Hill.

According to word from Pittsburgh, Democratic Senator Edward R. Frey is hitting on several cylinders in the controller's office. Things have been so lively he wants an accountant assigned to him. Kane Simile Chairman E. K.

Kane, of the legislative committee looking into the state of airports, says better runways are needed in some places. "Planes that cannot be started off the ground are as useless as lawnmowers in emergencies" says he. Five Weeks to Go Revenue Department officers handling safety matters have corrected an impression the motor vehicle inspection period will end for the summer on June 30. It closes on July 31 and from all accounts the Adams Transeau forces have chased quite a few cars to the repair shop. Maybe the common report about June 30 being last day caused some conveyances to get to the shops earlier than otherwise.

Wirt's Firemen George H. Wirt, fire chief of the State Department of Forests and Waters says he believes in the last twenty years a million young men and boys have been taught the elementals of protection of forests from fires by practical courses in the woods. He particularly praises the work of the Boy Scouts. Insurance Commissioner M. H.

Taggart is in Philadelphia where he is working with other department heads on the Rowland Rangers. No One Day Sales According to word coming here from the various districts of the State Liquor Control Board there has been a general serving of notice no sales of beer will be permitted at one day picnics. A number of applications were submitted for such authority, but the Board has reaffirmed previous stands since Chairman W. S. Rial took charge.

Hanford MacNider, who is backed by Iowa in Philadelphia's convention preliminaries, is well known to many here. He visited several years ago and has been a friend of General Edward Martin, with whom he was associated in American Legion matters. Airport In Forest Philipsburg, June 24, iJP) Speedy completion of the Black Moshanfon Airport located in a thick porest atop the Allegheny Mountains is urged by Assemblyman E. Kent Kane, chairman of the joint legislative committee inspecting Pennsylvania's air defenses. He said the field's distance from large industrial centers and military objectives and its position in the center of the State enhanced its value in defense of the Atlantic coastal region.
