Your article, "Snakes & Rain" of issue Sept. 5 is indeed interesting, especially the last part of the story on p. 26 which deals with the Hopi Indians and rattlesnakes.

Rugged Governor Hartley has, however, run things to his taste, notably six years ago when his Board of Regents ousted President Henry Suzzallo of the University of Washington (TIME, Oct. 18, 1926).
