Too much territory do Southern Methodist snoopers take in, when under Transport (TiME, Aug. 24), they indict an entire industry [ i. e. tourist cabins] because of their observations in a Texas disorder!)" house, cloaked with a "Transients Accommodated" sign.
"One hundred nine couples in ten weeks," less than two couples per night, and this was "nearly 75% of their patrons." Big business indeed!
Western U. S. entertains hundreds of thousands of motor visitors, (Oregon alone registers 1,000 cars per day at times), and the accepted overnight accommodation is the clean, modern Motor Court, where the car and belongings are handily convenient. Many millions are invested in this perfectly legitimate business.
Of 600 consecutive registrations at Colonial Village Motor Court, 576 were out-of-State cars, 24 Oregon, and even in Oregon some married people travel. Let S. M. U. confine their conclusions as well as their snooping to the little Texas town.

Reasonable Barnes
Sirs:
Barnes Foundation (TIME, Sept. 14) holds a charter exactly like that of University of Pennsylvania; we have more than 100 students attending classes conducted every day in our Gallery by a staff of six teachers all of them painters. In January 1934 Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rendered decision specifically stating that Barnes Foundation is not a public gallery but an educational institution and sustaining the legality and reasonableness of our rule restricting admission to students enrolled with us for systematic study.

Altered & Ended
Sirs:
May I ask of you the favor of correction of an inaccurate statement carried in TIME (Sept. 14). You say "two things about Path finder that Republican Publisher Brown did not plan to alter were its $1 subscription rate and its standpat Republicanism." I am not a "Republican publisher" and if you consider Pathfinder to have been standpat Republican, certainly that is one policy I have altered and ended for good. . . .

Head Hunter Sirs:
Myself a connoisseur of slick heads, I can commend the good taste of Len Duggan, to whom "Baby Beeper" (TIME, Sept. 7) is rightly a honey. But it is surprising that head hunters have so far overlooked TIME'S 1936 best, "Dam Ditched, Ditch Damned."
