Langlie Tells Of State Deficit OLYMPIA, UP) In a frank discussion of the state's finan cial situation Governor Langlie told county welfare administra tors that: "For the first time in history the state faces a really huge de ceit.' He said the state had a deficit of $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 once before but it now seems small because "this time we face a $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 deficit." Because of inadequate account ing procedures, he said, it is dif ficult to use definite figures but this is known: The key general fund had a i surplus of $32,00,000 at the be I ginning of this bionnium; ) Spending from that fund is ex ) ceeding income at the rate of approximately $2,500,000 a mon th. The surplus In the fund is rap idly shrinking away. Approximately 43 percent of the money spent from the gener al fund goes for the social secur ity program. To meet the situation, he call ed upon the welfare administra tors to "strengthen your ability to cut off the SDieot of inflow onto the public assistance rolls." He cited abuses in the exlstinp social security law and asked the administrators to thoroughly screen all applicants for assis tance, weeding out those who can take care of themselves and giv ing maximum aid to those who really need help. "You can do a job and help save the situation until we get a new law under which we can give an adequate public assis tancee program to take care of our aged, our blind and our de pendent children within the abi lity of the people to pay." He Invited the administrators to shoot answers at him. . One by one he explained or re peated, his previous-views on the possibility of a special session of the legislature, income taxes, or unknown funds that might be available for relief purposes. None of the proposals carry the answer to the immediate pro blem, he said. . Shoes,' he says, render, toes puny and helpless. This In turn atrophies a set of muscles con nected with toe action down to one-third or less their normal size. Modern heels are elevated, throwing the weight forward, and this, he says, is unnatural. Dr. Wlkler says 80 per cent of Americons have foot disordeis. Feet twist outward. Thigh bones do likewise. So the pelvis dips downward a bit, chests tend to flatten and lungs, hearts and stomachs and abdominal organs are pulled down a little. ' In fact, he says, there is hardly a square Inch of your body that remains unaffected from faulty feet. . ' The result is added stresses and these In turn may cause irrita tion of tissues. Irritation, long continued, is one of the occepted causes of cancer. Supporting Evidence J Dr. Wikler gives cancer death rates to show that they are high er wherever people wear shoes most. "The cancer death rate," ha says, "in southern states like North and South Carolina is 57 per 100,000 while in Massachu setts It zooms to 168 per 100,000. This difference can be explained by the fact that southern chil dren go barefooted a large part of the year and so develop strong, sturdy feet that ' even wearing modern shoes as adults connot distort to the extent of northern experience. "Switzerland has the highest rate of 176 per 100,000. The Swiss shoe industry is jilghy organized and they make a shoe which gives the foot a great deal of support and consequently causes a great deal of damage and deteriora tion, i "The United States has a can cer death rate of 120.2 per .100, 000 while Hawaii has 67.2. The cancer rate in Hawaii is as high as it is only because American shoes are used when' Hawaiian children reach their middle teens and adult life." . 'HONOR FOR LINDBERGH WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. UP) ; Charles A. Lindbergh will get an award this month for "signifi cant public service of enduring value to aviation in the United States." The National Aeronautics as sociation said Lindbergh will get the Wright brothers memorial trophy at a dinner December 17 sponsored by the Aero club of Washington. Television receivers with metal cabinets have appeared on- the market. Ike Still Says, 'No Connection With Polities' HOUSTON. UP) General Dwight Elsenhower said Wednes day he wants no connection with politics but wants to take an ac tive part in public affairs. He told a news conference: "If I identified or affalllated :r.;r?!f with any political 'party I'd lose a lot of friends and I'm not going to do ,that." Eisenhower arrived from San Antonio to speak before an. ex pected crowd of 15,000 at the Chamber of Commerce annual meeting. He said his speech will . be "rambling observation of a sol dier." The general touched on poll tics when asked if a large amount of his personal mail con tained requests that he seek the presidency. Eisenhower replied that his mail is heavy and that manv people; without mention of politi cal affiliation, write him about particular problems. "Many of them," he said, "want sympathy toward these problems." . Then he added: "I have no political connections, no political ambitions and don't want any connection with poli tics," He emphasized, however, ho will take an active interest In public affairs in that he thinks American people "should be talk ing principles and not in gen eralities. Asked to be more specific, he said the public should be talking about: 1. Where does deficit spending lead us? 2. How should we look at the Indian etiquette required that when a tribal chief raised a tot em pole he stage lavish cere monies and bestow many gifts on his guests. The ceremony was called a potlatch. at Penney's... SPEND LESS-GIVE MORE Just imagine ... 45 different styles and colors in slippers.

Flshwheel Gold Strike Suspended By Wintry Blasts FAIRBANKS, Alaska, UP) Whatever became of the Fish wheel Gold strike? Howling Arctic winds and sub zero temperatures have the ans wer to that question clutched closely to their frigid bosoms. Oldtimer Sam Gamble and1 Ed Farrell, who held hopes of a genuine "strike" up until last week, have returned to Fair banks. They declared wryly that noth ing can be determined until spring, but "prospects look pret ty bleak." Drilling operations recent ly stopped at 50 feet when warm Chinook winds thawed the Yukon river ice and backed water over the drill holes. The strike started back in Oc tober when Clifton Carroll found a few nuggets attached to the muck on the axle of his flshwheel some 30 miles south of Fort Yu. kon. , MOVIES LYING DOWN ' HAMBURG -tWB A local pa per announcing the opening of a new cinema said: "The cinema has the most modern equipment and 400 beds."
