By HAL BOYLE Amor tiled rren Writer NEW YORK (P Once upon a time there was an eager beaver who was the pride of his beavery, His name was Alphonse Nutria. Alphonse could gnaw down more pine trees and create more dams than any other three eager beavers his age, and he was only two years Naturally he felt pretty proud of himself for helping the crowd One day a political beaver came up to him and said: "Son, you're a dam-fine bea ver. Don't you want to accept the honorary vice-chairmanship of our club, the better-Ufe-for-mo re -beavers association." "Well, I won't say gnaw so I'll say yes," said Alphonse, a poor but honest beaver. "Anything that helps the other guys I'm or. I had a rough groove to bite as a kid. "You wouldn't guess It now, would you, looking at the muscles in my teeth? But I'm for anything that'll make life easier for young beavers coming up or old beavers going down." So Alphonse Nutria went out and gnawed and gnawed and gnawed more pine trees down un til the streams were all dammed and the forest was full of backed up water. This water flooded the ground fodder on which the deer led. That cut down the number of deer. And certain hunter beings who like to kill wild things and carry their horns home to prove they are human heroes said: "The beavers are building so many dams they are reducing the number of deer we can shoot. Nature is therefore out of balance. We must pass a law declaring an open season on beavers. Then, the more beavers we shoot, the more deer will spring up for us to shoot later." And so the law was passed as a wild life conservation measure. After two seasons of steady shooting the ranks of the beav ers were pretty well reduced. They held a council of their elders and approached Alphonse, still the eager beaver he had always been. "Mr. Nutria, said a wise old conservative beaver, "we want you to join a new and exclusive club we have formed. It is called the don't-gnaw-a-pine-down-to day association. We offer you the job of chairman of the board I and the pay is free bark all your life." Alphonse thought It over and then said politely, "gnaw." He felt he had been put upon the earth to do his beaver best and ItlXOIIDS niKTniriT rniiBT No vehicle operator'! Ilcenst: Charles H. Creitthton. Jr.. S5: Leonard A. Wade. $5: Clay E. Hughes, $10.

The weaker beavers could strip the fallen timber of its rich edible bark he didn't care. But the old er beavers decided his inside reign of plenty increased their outside danger from human beings, They wanted to put nature back in balance. And so they plotted against him, feeling they had to compromise in order for their own beaver children to survive. They sent secret agents out In a whispering campaign to turn other beavers against him. "We have found out that in his youth he was a front beaver for the better-life-for-more-beavers association," they said. "That outfit would destroy us 'all.' Gradually they convinced the other beavers that Alphonse was a traitor whose program of pros perity was only an invitation of doom. And so they fell upon him and bit him to death Alphonse, the true beaver. Ever since then the world's beavers, having destroyed their honest hero, have lived at the mercy of their relentless and for midable foe, prisoners now for ever of their curiosity and char ity of that strange two-legged creature, man. Some of the grayest beavers like to say that man, the victor like they, the vanquished, is today caught in the same trap of inde cision they were, and life is life, and that is that, and so things must remain as they are. But the rugged young heav ers growing up like to barken to the dying words of Alphonse Nutria: "Oh, my people, put your teeth into your faith. In this rough world what you stand up for and believe in will. always outweigh anything you sit down and fail to do." I MORAL: You can never -whip an honest eager beaver.

U. S. Can Deal Big Atom Blow Retaliation Swift If Attack Comes WASHINGTON fP) Congress' top authorities on atomic energy report the United States is in po sition to smite any aggressor with a "terrible atomic counterblow." And the retaliation would "un questionably ..." be swift and sure," the Senate-House Atomic Entrgy Committee said in its an nual report to Congress. The committee said the program for developing a hydrogen bomb a weapon scientists say would be many times more terrible than the atomic bomb has "gone forward." The committee's report is care fully edited for military security. Thus, details were lacking on hy drogen bomb and other atomic de velopments. But the report stated that in the past two years, the greatest de velopment has been In the field of "weapons development." That means progress in using atomic power in weapons other than the bomb, such as in artillery, guided missiles and torpedoes. A committee member seized up on this to predict that "atomic, weapons offer us real promise of winning war quickly." He was Rep. Durham (D-NC), vice chair- man of the committee.
