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

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."

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 ..."
Lee Hammond ni ihm W(c

clared that the Hammond sleigh,
with four powerful horses hook
ed up, was from the pine woods
of Sawyer County, Wisconsin
now nome or iiistoryland.
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
