volving her own alleged Com
munist activity and about the
charges that her husband stole
secret documents from the print
ing office.
The husband, Edward M.
Rothschild, was suspended from
his printing office Job yesterday
after he balked at similar ques
tions in an appearance before
McCarthy's Senate Permanent
Investigating subcommittee.
She identified herself as the
wife of Rothschild and then, aft
er consulting her attorney, also
she said she was a member of a
local Parents Teacher associa
tion, but thereafter invoked the
fifth amendment to the Consti
tution and refused to answer
further questions asked her. -
They included an inquiry on
whether she is the "educational
director" of the parent-Teachers
group.
McCarthy injected the threat
of contempt of Congress proceed
ings when Mrs. Rothschild refus
ed to say whether she claimed
protection of fifth amendment
solely because she "feared a
rtuthful answer" might tend to
incriminate her. McCarthy said
the constitutional privilege does
not protect "perjury."

TV Hot Harmful,
Optometrist Says
Dr. A. M. Skeffington, St
Louis, a nationally-known op
tometrist, told members of the
Southern Oregon Optometric so
ciety yesterday that he does not
regard television as harmful to
the eyes if it is used wisely. '
Now on a nation-wide tour,
Dr. Skeffington spoke at a so
ciety meeting at the Rogue Val
ley Country club.
He said that while not enough
study has been made on the ef
fects of TV, if used wisely he
could see little risk of it causing
eyesight defects. His advice was
to avoid too great contrast in
lighting not sit in a darkened
room; to limit normal viewing
to short periods preferably no
more than 30 minutes at a time;
not to sit too close to the screen
usually a distance of six to
twelve feet will te least tiring;
and sun glasses should not be
worn for televiewing because
they adapt vision to unnatural
conditions.
About 3-D movies. Dr. Skef
fington said they do not cause
eyesight defects but may reveal
a visual problem hitherto un
realized. Suggesting that the in
troduction of 3-D might prove a
boon in revealing whether peo
ple have defective vision. Dr.
Skeffington said that about one-
third of the audience appeared
to be unhappy because they had
a "visual problem." A tremen
dous number of people do not
know they have one poor , eye
until they go to a 3-D show, he
said.

Public Works committee were en
route to Alaska today after com
pleting their tour of federal

Indian Liquor
Troubles Seen Less
Portland (U.R) William H.
Baillie, administrator for the
Oregon Liquor Control Commis
sion, today foresaw less trouble
with the Indian drinking prob
lem under a new federal law al
lowing it.
"Under the old laws regarding
purchase and possession, the In
dians would get someone else to
buy liquor for him and then
drink it quickly to hide it," he
said.
The new federal legislation
does not affect Indians living on
reservations. They were allowed
to. purchase liquor in Oregon
under legislation enacted in
1951.
Baillie said the state probably
would handle sale of liquor that
might be dispensed on reserva
tions under another bill signed
into' law by President Eisenhow
er. This bill allows the sale of
liquor .on Indian reservations by
local option. It requires that
such sales be "in conformity .
with the laws of the state."

ent, a runaway coal truck car
eened into the curb and dumped
its load of fuel almost on top of
the boy. "I didn't get my ice
cream and I lost my dime," Jim
my complained.
