HOOVER SCANS CLIPPINGS FOR PUBLIC TREND One Man Works All Day Cutting Articles From Newspapers. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. April s.—Newspapers play an important part in President Herbert Hoover's administration. They are his principal source of information as to what the nation is thinking and talking. Clippings of news and editorial articles dealing with the executive branch of the government are pursued closely every night in his study. The new system is President Hoover's own method, an elaboration of the scheme he used in the department of commerce for gauging public reaction. Forty-five newspapers of current date reach the White House each day. They are from the nearby cities. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Richmond and ethers within over-night mail distance. From these, the chief executive gains what he calls the “first blush” reaction to policies and developments in public affairs. A second group of papers, from more distant cities, arrives two or three days after a given event. These provide the studied reaction of editorial comment. Yet a third group arrives four or five days later, when the complete picture of the public reaction is available. John McCabe, White House staff veteran, clips newspapers from 9 a. m. until 4:30 p. m. every day. Every article dealing with the presidency, or with public policy, is mounted on paper, classified according to subject, and placed on the President’s desk. Every night when he leaves the executive offices. Hoover takes the batch of clippings with him. MOONSHINING CHARGED Held Under Bond After Dry Raiders Discover Still.

AIRPLANES AIO FIGHT AGAINST FOREST FIRES Aviators Patrol Districts Daily: Work Is Dangerous. Bp Times Special WASHINGTON. April s.—When it comes to hard flying and actual results accomplished, the justly famous air mail has a close second in the aerial forest fire patrol. Take, for instance. District No. 1 of the United States forest service. This area comprises the forested areas ol Montana. Idaho and Washington. The Mainer Flying Service ol Spokane. Wash., hold the contract for the aerial patrol over these forests. Every morning aviators go out on their daily patrols, keeping especially close watch over the areas where lightning storms have passed. These pilots fly over country that is beautiful, but bad. For hundreds of miles there isn't a spot where a successful forced landing could be made. Must Be Woodsmen These pilots must be good woodsmen and geographers as well as good fliers. They must know ihe country thoroughly, for in reporting a fire success lies in the accuracy of giving the location. The mountainous and little inhabited country is identified entirely by creeks, ridges and mountain peaks. Each pilot carries an aerial observer. The forest service has an efficient telephone system throughout the national forests and has look-outs stationed on practically every prominent mountain peak during the summer. When an aerial observer spots a fire, he writes a note describing the rondition of the blaze and its location, then as the pilot swoops low over a look-out station, he drops the message. Directs Fire Fighting The ground observer then telephones to forest headquarters and' the supervisor sends out a crew to fight the fire. On fires which already have a good start, and have smoked up the country so badly that ground observers are handicapped, the airplane accomplishes especially good work. The aerial observers can fly ; around the fire, see it from every angle, tell what progress it is making, what kind of timber it is burning in and how many men and what kind of equipment is needed to fight it.
