O O o 0 o o r Man Davises Accurate Method3 To Catch Thief San Antonio, Tex. W .There ta more way than ' one to skin cat, as pointed out by Carlos Rosales, chief of the Bexar district attor ney's office complaint sec tion. Rosales tells of a Mexican laborer who came to him to report the theft of $70. The man said he left his wallet in the rest room of the camp where some 13 families live. When he discovered he had forgotten it, the man said he went back but the wallet, con taining $70 was gone. Rosales told him it would be virtually impossible to find the wallet among the 15 fam ilies. The complainant told Ro sales, "I tell police. Maybe 1 do something about it my self." He left. Rosales said the man wrot. Hny "HisJoryland . . . - Last summer a picture post card came from S. H. Holbrook that showed pine woods, four mighty Clydesdale logging horses and a towering sleigh load of whitepine logs. It was a summer scene, with no Ice. The logs, in fact, were a prize showpiece of "Historyland," at Hayward, Wisconsin. Last March logger and gentleman of the old school, Mr. S. Miller of LaConner, Wash, favored me with copies of the Sawyer County Historical Re view, published at Hayward. They were Issues of March, 1954, and March, 1955. The first one featured a picture and descrip tion of "the largest load of logs ever hauled out." The publication set off a Great Debate that spread over the Lake States and at last became running flight, open to all Governors, Federal Officials Suggest States' Program Hersey. Pa. (IP A group of governors and federal offic ials tentatively recommended on Saturday that the states take over all or parts of five pro grams now handled by the fed eral government. This was the first concrete result of a study suggested by President Eisenhower on how to return to the states some of the vast powers now exercised by Washington. The group tentatively agreed that the president's idea should first be tried In the fields of vo cational education, disaster re lief, the school lunch program, water pollution, and supplemen tal old age assistance programs. Abandoning Taxes In return for the states taking on all or parts of these jobs, the group said, the federal gov ernment should consider aban doning to the states a number of excise taxes and allowing the tates to take a greater share of gift and inheritance tax col lections. The purpose would be to give the states .additional revenue with which to finance their new burdens. The excise taxes which the federal government might sur render would include those on local telephone calls, theater ad missions, cabarets, club dues, coin-operated amusement devic es, safety deposit boxes, and Vwrwlinff alleVSi" The group, which has been studying the problem ot ieaer-al-state relations for the past two days, consists of six govern ors representing the National Governor's conference and a committee named oy Eisenhow er. Secretary of the JTreasury Robert B. Anderson spoke for th oup in announcing its "areas of agreement" at a news conference. Memoranda Designed J Anderson said the staff of the joint state-federal committee was Instructed to draw up mem oranda designed to implement the tentative agreement. These staff papers will be discussed at the next meeting, not yet set. Anderson said the six gov ernors who attended also took a position against federal aid for school construction, except for that now provided for im pacted areas. Most of the governors express ed the feeling the federal gov ernment should not engage . in school construction programs, and we on the federal side have agreed that we who are on the committee and our colleagues in the administration would devel op a position which we would discuss later," Anderson taid. AGA VISITS FOLLOWERS Karachi, Pakistan (IP The new Aga Khan left here Fri day night for Bombay, India, after a six-day visit with his Ismaili followers here and in East Pakistan. The young prince told the Moslem sect it should lay great stress on the indus trialization of the Communis: infested East Pakistan. 4 a note and placed it in the rest room where he lost his purse. It read: "I know you stole my money. It was worth it. I've been dating your wife." He waited patiently, and within four hours his wife called, "Come quick, Juan is beating up Maria." - The complainant gathered with the rest of his neighbors and watched Juan beat up his wife. Finally, Rosales says, Juan looked up at the complainant and said "You're the who's been dating my wife." "And you're the who stole my $70,"' the man re torted. Rosales says, "Sure enough, he was the man. Juan had the note in his pocket, and agreed to repay the money if the complainant wouldn't file charges against him." hremellfoTs, Baa- comers, in the Detroit News. Pictures of old-time sleigh-loads of logs were sent in from far and near. All included handsome horses and whiskered men. 144 Tons . . . Old Pinetop Tom Nester sub mitted a photograph of a load of logs harvested in his family's Michigan holdings of 1893. Even in a newspaper photograph these logs appear as the pick of a crop, like the load of whiter pine clears that became the sensa tion of the Columbia Exposition at Chicago in the same year. The logs on the Nester sled averaged 18 feet in length and were piled 33 feet and three inches from the iced road. They looked to be on bunks 12 feet wide the Michigan standard Weight was 144 tons. Two horses were hooked to the sleigh. The load scaled 36,055 board feet. Logs from the Nester forests In 1893 were sleighed to the Ontonogan River and then rafted to a railroad landing. Loaded on flatcars, they were wheeled to Chicago, where they were con verted into timbers and lumber DEL for use in the construction of the World's Fair. "Lea's Load ..."

An inset photograph of the face of Lee Hammond gave me to cogitate. There, surely, was a loezer of the old srhnnl niu who would have been rmirh re spected by Jigger Jones. A truly spienaia leature of the strong but kindly countenance of Ham mond is a mustache of the most effulgent walrus design. It cas cades down from jaw line to chin level, then sweeps back ward in two surging streams, up ward and on, each in a big bend. The news story tells that Lee Hammond logged 40,000,000 feet at Lost Lake, Wisconsin, in the winter of 1894-1895, and that history records no larger footage for one winter's logging by a one-man outfit. Maybe we should get a log gers' "Historyland" started in these parts. Let's inquire around about it. Hmm? Plans for Fight Against Flu Told Washineton The nuVilin health service announced Satur day plans for a nation-wide bat tle aeainst an exnected fall ami winter Asian flu epidemic. Starting next month, It will call on Americans in populous areas to roll up their sleeves and take the new Asian flu vaccine. At the same time it will help set up emergency medical plans for dealing with mass outbreaks which could stall the business life and essential services of whole communities. Six private drug firms have started producing the newly de veloped vaccine. By mid-September, when "flu weather" be gins in some northern U.S. areas, about eight million one-cc. doses will be ready. The mili tary services already have con tracted for half of these. Louis Mayer Admitted To Stanford Hospital San Francisco (IP Doctors disclosed- Saturday movie mag nate Louis B.
