' tion. Did the $800 wad belong to

" therefore belongs to the finder.

"Treasure trove" that is to say,
'found treasure" is so old in our
history that It has found a place

" In this sense, it is usually defin

question: Who, stopping in a

have lost $S00 in bills?

BERLIN, July 29. (JP) TJ. S.
authorities have Informed the
Russians that the five German1
minister-presidents in the Soviet
occupation zone will be unaccept
able as candidates for any future
central government of Germany
because of a "malicious" charge
that the Western occupying pow
ers have nurtured Fascism, au
thoritative American sources
said.
liy this action the Americans
stamped a veto upon at least
three leading officials of the Soviet-sponsored,
Communist-dominated
Socialist Unity Party,
which holds most key posts In the
Russian zone's German adminis
tration. Their attack was contained in
a statement submitted to the Al
lied Control Authority in connec
tion with the request that they
oe given an auuience in the Con
trol Council to discuss Germany's
problems.
In this statement, the Eastern
zone Germans with the apparent
tacit approval of the Russians
accused the U. S. and Britain of
tearing Germany apart and of
failure to remove leading Nazis,
the informants said.
British, U. S. Anger Aroused
When this statement reached
the Allied Coordinating Commit
tee, together with recommenda
tions submitted by minister
presidents of the three Western
zones, American and British an
ger blazed.
The American representatives
told the Russians that such lan
guage would not be tolerated
from the Germans and that any
German ofiicial who held such at
titudes toward any of the occu
pying powers disqualified himself
from consideration for Darticipa
toin in any central German gov
ernment set up under four-power
supervision.
The attitude of the Russian
zone Germans illustrated anew
the political and economic cleav
ages between the Communist-run
Russian zone and the Western
zones, American authorities said.
The recommendations from the
Eastern zone officials, submitted
over the signature of Karl Stein
hnff, SEP minister-president of
Brandenburg, charged that the
U. S. -British bizonal merger was
"built on the principles ot fed
eralism and zonal partition and is
equivalent to an attempt to tear
up Germany and destroy the Ger
man state and throw Germany
back 100 years."
In making this charge, the
Russian zone officials took no no
lice of the repeated invitations to
Russia and France to bring their
zi.ne-i inio the merger to effect
an economic unification of all
Germany.

Lincoln Target of
80 Death Threats,
Papers Disclose
WASHINGTON, July 28. (.-P)
A long-secret collection of Abra
ham Lincoln's papers, opened to
the public for the first time last
Saturday, proved a gold mine of
lniormauon ior Lincoln scholars
but a disappointment for seekers
of sensationals.
That was the consensus of 30
experts of the life of the Civil
war presiaent, tor whom Colton
Storm.'of the University of Michi
gan's Clements Library, summed
up:
"This is definitely a scholar's
collection."
The papers, sealed by Robert
Todd Lincoln, son of the president
28 year ago, did disclose at least
80 death threats received by Lin
coln before he was assassinated
by John Wilkes Booth in Wash
ington's Ford Theater April 14.
1865.
The Lincoln scholars said he
kept a pigeon hole in his desk for
such threats and refused to worry
over them. They described his re
action as somewhat fatalistic,
quoting his expressing "What
does anybody want to assassinate
me for? If anybody wants to do
so, he can do it day or night if
he is ready to give his life for
mine. It is nonsense."
Gaps In Life Filled
Perhaps the oustanding finds
in the many original documents
in the collection were ihe first
draft of Lincoln's famous eman
cipation proclamation and the
original manuscript of his sad
farewell to the citizens of Spring
field as he departed to take over
the presidency.
The Lincoln historians said the
p.-.pers will be of "incalculable
worth" in filling gaps in the life
of the famed rail-spliiter and in
providing new views on his hu
manitarian aspects.
In one letter, they quoted Lin
coln as telling Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler, who was urging the sum
mary execution of 24 deserters:
"Mr. General, there are already
too many weeping widows in the
United States. For God's sake,
don't ask me to add to the num
ber. I won't do it."
Other letters related the many
feuds between Union generals and
one of these from Gen. John A.
McClernand, presenting a report
by a captain Kountz, described
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, later presi
dent, as being "gloriously drunk"
on March 13, 1803.
One Lincoln scholar, Dr. Louis
Warren of Fort Wayne, Ind said
the most significant thing he had
found in studying the collection
overnight was that Lincoln in at
least one man's opinion was
thought to be of cabinet stature
as early as of 1847.

Law Relating to
Constables Not
Obeyed, Assertion
REEDSPORT Justice of the
Peace Fred M. Wright of this city
visited the county seat last week
at a gathering of the various
justices of the peace of the
county, to learn something of the
new law affecting their offices
and the constables of Oregon.
From his report, little was ac
tually learned at the meeting ex
cept that the new law is "very
poorly drawn and was hastily
passed by a legislature in Its
closing hours." The new law im
poses many "musts" or "shalls"
upon the Justice Court officers
and many "may's if they see fit"
upon the part of the County
Court, to assist the enforcement
of the laws through the Justice
Courts by providing necessary
materials, equipment, and help
to do the job.
At the last general election,
Chief of Police Harry McCabe of
Reedsport was elected constable
of the Reedsport District, but
failed to qualify. Consequently,
Reedsport District is without a
constable. The new law says that
when such a vacancy occurs, the
County Court "may" appoint a
qualified person to fill such of
fice for the unexpired term.
But in this case, the County
Court has not acted in the pre
scribed manner and designates in
stead that the work be done by
the deputy sheriff in that district.
Yet the law plainly states that a
deputy sheriff cannot act as con
stable and neither can a city mar
shal or any other officer of the
law.
In order that the deputy sher
iff can serve papers of the Justice
Court, such papers must be regis
tered first with the sheriff's of
fice, thus imposing "much un
necessary work" upon the justice
of the peace of Reedsport District,
Wright asserted.
The recent meeting of the
Douglas County Budget Commit
tee, in which the committee failed
to budget anything for the office
of the constable, "although they
all knew that such an office un
der the new bill was one of sal
ary," leaves the county without
funds to provide such payments
unless taken from the general
fund.
According to Wright, it is his
opinion that asserted friction be
tween the justice of the Deer
Creek District and the county of
ficials is doing "a great deal to
hamper the advancement of the
justice courts under present con
ditions." Polish Shopkeepers
Hide Goods to Dodge Tax
LODZ, Poland (JD Many
merchants in this groat Polish t

shops and "giving up trade on

newspaper Dziennik LodJ.
It added: "Lodz official circles
find this fact alarming and re
flecting unfavorably on economic
life."
A special government commis
sion has ordered that a special

any business can cease operating.
