Recreation Business To Set Record This Summer Babson Estimates American People Will Spend $5,500,- 000 on Vacations, Which He Says Are Sound and Beneficial Investment for Any One BY ROGER W. BABSON, \ Copyright 1937, Publishers \ Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park. Mass., June 18— coming three months will set a new high-water mark in the recreation 1 Vasiness. More people will spend more money on their vacations this year than ever before. The conditions ■which control tourist activity are iieal. The recreation business —which fifty years ago was one of our smal ler'—Will finish up the 1937 season as one of the nation’s leading industries. General business today is only ten per cent below the 1929 peak. We have experienced two years of fever ish activity. Now the pressure is off. Business is heading into a summer slack-spot. Workers who have stayed or. the job and made hay while the sun was shining are eager to take ad vantage of this let-dowm. National in come has jumped 75 per cent since the depression low.

J. C. MASKERVI 1,1. Raleigh, June 18. —Now that Gover nor Clyde R. Hoey has shaken most of the more choice political plums from his personal plum tree —only the State School Commission plums now remaining on the almost barren branches —most observers here agree that the smiling, long-haired sage from Shelby is not only adept at se lecting appointees who have real ability and witness for their jobs, but in seeing that their political back grounds are such as will help solidify the party. Governor Hoey believes first, of course, in selecting men who are fit ted by experience and temperament for the jobs to be filled and so far most observers agree that he has placed fitness and ability ahead of all other considerations. But Governor Hoey also belongs to that school of Democratic politics which believes that to the victor belong the spoils and that the best way to make the young colts be good and stay within the shafts of the party buggy is to give the “regulars’ the lumps of sugar and not to pass it out to those which kick the dashboard and bust hams strings. He undoubtedly believes that one of the best ways to bring the vounger and more obstreperous colts around so they will pull together with the older draft horses pulling the Democratic band wagon, is to reward these work horses after they have demonstrated they had the stuff and could deliver the goods. It is also evi dent that Governor Hoey believes it is g-ood policy and good politics to bestow his plums, whenever possible, upon those who are popular and have lareg personal followings in their re (Continued on Page Three.) up 300 per cent and dividend pay ments are five to ten times larger than in the dark days of 1932 and 1933.

Equal ly important is the fact that people have the will to spend. The trend of the day is “easy come, ea ,y go.” I believe that one of the biggest mistakes the government has mode is to enact legislation which penalizes saving and encourages spending. The desire to accumulate for the “rainy day” has been blasted bv depression ravages and New Deal policies.

Laughton reduced his Federal tax bill by turning over his Hollywood earnings to a British company, Elmer Irey, head of the Treasury’s tax in vestigation unit, told a joint congres sional committee investigating tax dodging.

Basque defenders of Bilbao, their government already gone from the city, retired today to rear guard po sitions to the west as the besieging insurgents fought to close for good the only avenue of escape from the refugee-jammed capital. In the full flush of his Bilbao suc cesses, Insurgent General Francisco Franco asked Great Britain for the belligerent rights which would give him a standing under international law and allow him to try a recogniz ed blockade of his government foes. The government of the semi-au tonomous Basque provinces allied with the central Madrid-Velancia re gime against Franco’s insurgents, was said by its representatives at Bayonne, France to have left for “an other point in Basque territory.” The ministers turned over the mili tary .administration to a defense junta which included three cabinet mem bers. One report said the government had been established at the village of Trucios, about 20 miles west of Bilbao U. S. Board Stops Wine Flow Here Washington, June 18.—(AP) —The Federal Alcohol Administration ser ved warning today steps would be taken to stop shipments into North Carolina of alcoholic beverages held illegal by the State's attorney gen eral under North Carolina’s new wine law. Assistant General Counsel John O’Neill said Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell's ruling that the State’s new wine law did not legalize many beverages offered for sale in North Carolina, on the grounds they had a wine base, empowered the alcoholic administration to stop shipments of such preparations into the State. The wine law enacted by the 1937 legislature legalized fortified wines. Under its provisions some dealers in spirits offered prepared cocktails and other mixed drinks for sale on the ground they were “fortified wine.” Seawell ruled the new law did not permit fortification of wine drinks by gin or whisky, but only by brandy, (Continued on Page Six.) were thinner; and plant officials re ported work was going on “much bet ter.” A Chicago mass meeting heard speakers lambast the four strike-af fectfed steel corporations, and then sang the strike theme song, “Sign on the Dotted Line.” Cleveland, however, became the focal point of interest as the Federal government’s mediation efforts took form. The. first meeting of a three man mediation board, which Secre tary of Labor Perkins named yester day, was called for tomorrow.
