The House-Senate inquiry into department handling of the patents Inc., in the Rogue River National Forest was in recess Friday. But Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore). acting chairman, announced 'that Clarence A. Davis, undersecretary of the interior, would be a witness when the hearing resumes next Thursday. It was- Davis, then department solicitor, who issued instructions in 1953 for the taking of new as say samples from the 15 disputed Sarena claims in order to settle the company's appeal from the Bureau of Land Management's denial of the patents. Davis ap proved the. patents after the new assay was made. Democrats have criticized the decision and the instructions, which called for the samples to be taken by the Bureau of Mines and sent to an assay firm -"mutually ac ceptable" to the bureau and the Sarena firm. When a mining claim is patented the holder gets title to the timber which stands on the land. Sen. Scott fD-NC) maintains the tim ber was the real objective of the Sarena company all along. Ho says the firm has cut a lot of timber but has done little mining. KcpuDUcans deny the "give away charge which they say is Democratic fishing for an issue to use in the coming campaign. They say the department had no alternative under mining laws but to grant the patents if the com pany showed the land contained enough minerals for profitable mining operations. - The committee recessed Thurs day after hearing George B. Hold- erer, a staff engineer, testify that in his opinion the Sarena proper ties "could not be operated profit ably with values less than S20 Der ton." Our Emotions Are Usually Jot Stable at Age of 18 ny DOHOTHY DIX DEAR MISS DIX: Is It posslblo for a boy to be truly In love with one girl and still dale others? I am 17, my boy friend is 18. He attends college in another slate but has declared his love for me since last summer. We enrresnnnd fniihfullv- u-hn ha am hnn, for Christmas holidays I was the only girl ho dated, yet he doei go uui wnn uuicr gins on campus, i aon t Know whether he would do so it i were available and I don t know how serious any of these aaics are. . I have no other reason to doubt his sincerity. I am really very fond of him, but don't want to begin building castles In the air only to have them tumbled. Sharon G. ANSWER: The emotions of an 18-year-old boy aren't stable enough to serve as support for your permanent dreaming. If the lad dates others, he may be really and truly in love with, you, yet want these campus dates so he can take his part in the social life of college. Again, he may be in love with you at home and feel quite dit- icremiy wnen away. Exactly how he feels is something no one perhaps not even if "7 cnn rpally to"' For ,no time bcins " woul(l De bMt ,0 accept the friendship on the terms It's presented to you. Demanding prom ises of fidelity would only scare him away permanently: playing the lovesick heroine would be bad for you. YOU DATE, TOO Why not take your cue from him? Date others when social activities require an escort, continue writing, be good company when he's home, but don't exchange promises or vows of undving love. They'd be futile. Walt for these until the lad finishes school. He should know by then which way the wind blows.

So I dropped out to get a rundown on them. Middleton Is a tall, hulking man of 44. dark, balding and deep- voiced. His size and manner have suited him for heavies, which he has played during 75 per cent of his career. Like most actors, Middleton has had his struggles, but unlike most of them, he has had an ace in the hole: his family runs a big construction firm in Cincinnati Frank Messer and Sons, Inc. (His real name is Messer.) "I started in the construction business when I was old enough to wield a shovel," Middleton said. "But I got the acting disease bad when I was in the first grade. It was during the first World War and I played a wounded soldier in a -play. "I acted all through school and went to New York when I got out in 1932. But there were no jobs for actors then, so I went back home." He worked in the family business by day and did local theatricals and radio work by night. Finally he tried New York and started clicking in TV and on the stage. After scoring in "Ondine" with Audrey Hepburn, the movie offers came in. He'a been working steadily on the sound stages ever since. Arthur O'Connell Is a wry, soft- spoken bachelor of 47 years who claims he never got married be cause he couldn't afford it. 'I've had leaner days than most anybody you could name," he re marked. "I slept in subways and parks and freight cars. I've worked in soda fountains and lunch coun ters to earn S200 so I could start touring the casting offices again." Born in New York and son of the Murray Hill Hotel head waiter, he became an actor by accident at 21. A girl friend was an actress and he toured the casting offices with her. He was offered a job in a Dorchester, Mass., stock company. After eight years in stock and two in vaudeville, be decided to try Broadway. He virtually starved for years. One year he did six plays, all of them closing out of town. But the following season came "Picnic." After the film version, he was in. He has done six pictures since and his lean days are over.

Foreign Ministry press chief L.F. IJychev said yesterday the agree ment was signed in Liberia and ambassadors would be exchanged as soon as Liberia makes the nec essary budget appropriations. A Soviet delegation went to Li beria several weeks ago to attend the third inauguration of President William V. S. Tubman and was re ported to have opened talks on the exchange of envoys. Ilychev said the agreement In cludes pledges of nonaggression, equality, noninterference in inter nal affairs and-mutual respect for sovereignty. Earlier reports of the Soviets' visit to Liberia said Russia offered economic and technical aid to the West African Negro republic. These accounts said Liberia, which was organized a century ago with American help, probably would ap proach the Soviet offers with cau tion, despite a need for foreign aid. Liberia Is strongly opposed to communism and permits no Com munist organizations within her borders.
