Cargo Taktn Out Wheat, cotton, hides and gen eral cargo were taken on by the Seasplendor during the last three days at Portland prior to its move to Vancouver where the fire was discovered. Hatch covers were tightened immediately by crewmen at the first sign of smoke in an attempt to smother the fire. After Van couver firemen had poured tons nf water over the covers of No. 2 and No. 3 holds. No. 2 hold was opened in an effort to unload part of the smoldering cargo. Two tugs were standing by to pull the ship into midstream if flames should suddenly skyroc ket and endanger the dock. How ever, only intense heat and smoke were noticeable when the hatch was opened. 12 deyt from Portland Eve-popping 5t.cnery and fun en route! See Crarer Like, Shsta Cascade Wonderland. Reno.

House Plans to Take Up Amusement Tax j Washington U.R; The; House planned Saturday to take j up an aaministrauon-opposea ; bill to cancel the 10 per cent i s i.o msiduea a swimming federal tax on admissions to !

I Passage appeared almost cer tain in the House but there was considerable doubt that the bill would clear the Senate before congress adjourns. Admissions costing 50 cents or less now are exempt from the tax. Raising the exemption to $1.00 would cost the treasury an estimated ST0 million in reve nue. The administration has op posed any tax cuts. BILL APPROVED Washington U.R The Sen ate Labor committee Saturday approved a bill providing 10 per cent increases in annuities under the Railroad Retirement Act. A similar bill is pending in the House. Final action is expected before the congressional adjourn ment.

Nothing makes one feel older than Aline Mosbr talking to these former child stars who suddenly blossom out to be young ladies. Some, like Marg aret O'Brien, have difficulty growing up. Others, like Eliza beth Taylor, are in so much of a hurry they fall into unsuccess ful marriages. But Natalie seems to be like, or almost like, any college girl. Career Started Early "I've worked since I was four, always with a chaperone and welfare worker according to law,'' explained Natalie as we sat in Hamburger hamlet, the Romanoff's of the younger set. "They trailed me every place I went. Now at last I can zo to iu'lrS. smoking . ciga, ette in that slightly self-conscious way of a beginner.

Designer Retained Natalie also has taken up glamour by hiring a designer to make her some sleek sheath dresses to replace her full-skirted clothes. She hopes to wear the grown-up outfits on her first trip to New York soon. And the slinkiest of all she'll wear to her 18th birthday party tonight. Clare Booth luce Reurns to Rome Washington vU.P.I Ambas sador Clare Booth Luce took off for Europe Saturday "feeling fine'' despite a recent illness and an earlier attack of arsenic poi soning which she attributed to paint flaking from her Rome bedroom ceiling. Mrs. Luce, looking pale and thin, left aboard a Navy plane for Lisbon where she will start a Mediterranean cruise before resuming her ambassadorial du ties at Rome SIGN BILL Bonn, Germany 'U.F West German President Theodor Heuss Saturday signed the con scription bill making 12 million young Germans liable to mili tary service. The bill was passed Friday by the Bundesrat upper house in a 21-17 vote. DR. JAMES W. BAYLISS DR. TERRELL A.

I State's attorney George P. i Coutrakon said he will ask the jury to return indictments for embezzlement: forgery and op erating a confidence game. Cout rakon reported the former aud itor had made a "clean breast'' statement of a " huge conspiracy" involving nearly $1 million in state checks. The state's attorney went to work on the indictments after quizzing Hodge in a three-hour "tell-all'' session. When the meeting broke up. Coutrakon told reporters. "This is a huge conspiracy I can see that now. There is a lot of money involved.'' Coutrakon said he had learn- ed of four new "questionable checks'' amounting to S101.709 Earlier, Attorney General Lath am Castle estimated checks worth $800,000 were involved in thf scandal. Coutrakon report boosted the total to S901.70S. ym surP there are a lot more too.

Soviet Officials Plan Poland Trip London (U.Ri Warsaw radio reported Saturday that a Soviet delegation headed by Premier Nikolai Bulganin will arrive shortly in Poland. It will be the first visit by top-level Russians since the Poznan "food and free dom'' riots. The broadcast said the Soviet officials would participate in Polish National Day celebrations in Warsaw. National Day is of ficially celebrated in Pcland July 22nd Sunday. The broadcast monitored in London did not say exactly when Bulganin and his party would arrive. However, it was presum ed they would be on hand for Sunday's parades and festiv ities. It would be the first visit by leading Soviet officials to Pol and since the June 23 workers uprising in Poznan during which Westerners heard demonstra tors shouting: "Russians Go Home.'' Police Arrest Man After 10-Mile Chase Klamath Falls (U.R) A 21-year-old ex-convict who Jed po lice on a 90-mile-an-hour chase for 10 miles was arrested by state police Friday night near Olene. Ore. John Francis Jennings began his wild run from the police in a residential area of Klamath Falls, took the highway to Olene. about eight miles southwest of Klamath Falls, where he ran a roadblock. Later he was stalled by a freight train at a railroad crossing and veered off into a deadend road where he was ar rested by police. Jennings was released from the federal prison at McNeil Island last November. Previous to that he had served time in prison at El Reno, Okla. House Approves Bill For Washoe Project Washington '.U.R) The House Saturday approved a compro mise bill to authorize the $43.7 million Wr a s h o e Reclamation Project in Nevada-California. The Senate still must act on the bill as worked out by a House - Senate conference committee. Is That So? Thij morning I picked up the telephone, placed a call to a friend in Oslo, Norway, and within five minutes this modern invention permitted me to ex change ideas within him. Re markable, what? Well, possibly. But I'm spoil ed. Now if every one in our re spective countries say some 200.000.000 could have picked up their phones simultaneously and listened in and were able to respond, then that might be something. For you see, the infinite comp lexities of the communications system within our own bodies are much more complicated. By day and by night, hundreds of thousands of messages shuttle through our billions of cells not just millions telling our 7-l.t-sa heart when to beat our arms when to move, our lungs when to inhale, our togues when to talk, our nose when to sneeze, our hands when to salt food. Just take our five senses vision, hearing smell, taste and touch. (Besides that we also sense pain, pressure, heat, cold, position of our limbs, the bal ance of our body, the motion of our body, thirst, hunger, sleep ...and many others which we do not sense, when to digest our food, when our heart should beat faster, our cheeks flush). All right then, our tongue. It has 3.000 taste buds, each w ith its individual nerve connection to the brain. These taste buds sends messages via electrical im pulses we now believe, to the brain through closed circuits. The brain correctly interprets these messages: the food is sour, bitter, sweet or salty. The brain interprets the message, then ar rives at a judgment; the steak needs salt, the potatoes are too peppery, the sauce is too sweet, the peas are just sweet enough. Or our ears. They have 100, 000 listening cells. In each one a minute nerve-end picks up a particular sound frequency and starts vibrating, waving like a straw of grass in the wind. This starts a current flowing a cur rent so exceedingly feeble that it would have to be amplified a thousand times or more to be detected. As it travels along, the same impetus, however weak, is maintained. When fed into the brain it is identified as a musi cal note, perhaps. Or a medley of these messages tell us we are listening to a neighbor's voice a car's horn, a pet parakeet's chirp. Collected in Brain Or our eyes. Each of these wonderful organs has 130,000, 000 light receptors which send groups of impressions to the brain. So we see the spread of autumn foliage across the land scape, and then these groups are collected in the brain, we evi dence a feeling of joy and ap preciation. Or our skin. It too contains a vast network of information gathering centers. Perhaps 5, 000,000 or more. There are some 4,000.000 pain points: 500, pressure points: 1.500,000 cold points; 16,000 hot points. If the room it too hot, the 16,000 hot points instruct the 3.000.000 sweat glands to start a flow of cooling perspiration. Step into a cold shower, and 150.000.000 spots tell you about it and the body at once starts shivering, skin arteries dilate, and new blood hurries to provide more heat. Once our nerves deliver the message, there is a curious re action one set of nerves sends out the message to spring into action; another set also sends out a message to dampen or inhibit action. This controls our actions, enabling us to rise to furious action when that is wanted, but yet curbing it and when the time comes, slowing down to restore ourselves. Destroyed for Good Unlike most other cells in our body, which divide and multi ply, the nerves remain constant we are born wuth our full life time supply, and once nerve is destroyed it is destroyed for good. But they can grow, nat urally, with the growing body. How are the messages trans ferred? By tiny electric "shivers" through the motor nerves. But ty EUGENE BURNS Rjnger-Naturllist the impluse is so small that it can carry but a fraction of an inch and there is hit a "bo oster" station which recharges the dying impluse. Carefully spaced, these relay stations en able the message to reach the destination with exactly the same intensity it had when it left the point of origin. But all this, mind you, takes place with considerable speed: well, any way, 200 miles an hour!
