ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington The American submarine Scorpin stuck its snout into the mouth of the k f 4 1 . A. Itobt. Smith Columbia riv er, surfaced at m i d n i ght to see if there was any sign of life. The sub had just come from an off - shore in spection of San Francisco where they saw that the Golden Gate bridge was demolished and homes around Golden Gate park had suffered much from fire and blast. There was no evidence of any human life. There were lights showing on the shore of the Columbia river, but after examining his charts the skipper of the sub concluded they came from Long Beach and Ilwaco on the Washington state side. - "There's nothing in the state of Oregon," he added. The Scorpion proceded on to Puget Sound in quest of the origin of sporadic radio signals coming from the Seattle area. Surfacing off Edmonds, 15 miles north of Seattle, it found a de serted town where the neon sign was still lighted in front of the drug store. When the ship hailed the shore with a loudspeaker, there was no response. Through Periscope This was the way the Pacific Northwest looked through a per iscope, for the crew dared not venture out on deck. The radia tion count in the air was far above the safety level. This was the reult of the short war that bewildering atomic war of which no history had been written or ever would be written now. It had lasted 37 days, wrecked most of the major cities of the north ern hemisphere and laid waste to the rest of the land through nuclear fall-out with its lethal radiation. It is only a matter of time before the belt of all-out particles envelopes the southern hemisphere and snuffs out what life remains in Australia, South Africa and South America. And that is the way Nevil Shute chillingly describes the of the world in his novel. On the Beach. The short, war was not caused by a direct attack on the U.S. by Soviet Russia, or vice versa. It started in 1961 when Red Albania got sore at Italy and dropped a bomb on Naples. Then someone, nobody knows who, set one off in Tel Aviv. British and American planes then made a demonstration flight over Cairo to try to quiet things with a show of strength. Next thing you know Russian-made planes were spotted heading for the U.S., and this triggered off the whole NATO defense appar atus. Washington and London were both it, leaving few states men left to make decisions. U.S. military field conmmanders counterattacked Russia. China figured this was a good time to ding Russia, and vice versa, so they went at it with hydrogen bombs, most with a cobalt elem ent. Egyptian Planes In Raid The irony of it all was that the planes that first hit Wash ington and London were Egyp tian planes which Russia had given her. Mistaken for Soviet attackers, they set off the chain reaction that was too quick to stop. The basic trouble, says a sci entiest in Australia", was that the nuclear weapons got so cheap that "every little pipsqueak country like Albania could have a stockpile of them, and every little country that had that thought it could defeat the major countries in a surprise attack." The Scorpion happened to es cape by being on patrol in the Pacific, and with its long-range I nuclear powerplant made it to Australia. It ventured to Puget Sound only to find the radio signals being caused by a loose window sash bumping against a live radio transmitter. It was the constantly spinning hydroelec tric generators in Northwest dams that kept the radio and the lights on long after the peo ple had climbed into their beds or their favorite bars to die of radiation sickness an ailment which first causes nausea, then diarrhea, finally death by sheer exhaustion. The Australian gov ernment at the end passes out suicide tablets for adults, injec tions for children and pets. The weakness of the book lies, for the American reader, in the unbelievably phlegmatic charac ter of the people who face the coming end. This might be un derstandable if they showed some sign of deep Christian faith in eternity which would elimin ate fear of death, but there is not a word of this fundamental con sideration. A book describing world de struction through nuclear war fare could be more brutal in portraying destruction and phys ical suffering. But this is chilling enough to merit worldwide read ership. Such fiction could just become fact at any time now. wpFmsWoWsi In 1853 Henry Lars Emery of Albany, New York, patented a machine that was officially described as "a double-toggled-jointed, horizontal, progressive, levered hay and cotton press." So dawned the haywire era on the logging frontier. Emery's invention owed much to earlier balers, both horizon tal and vertical. The first Ameri can machine of the kind was patented in 1813. On April 18, 1839, a patent for a machine de signed to bale both hay and cot ton was issued to Chauncey Wharton Hawkes of Brunswick, Maine. It was notably success ful and inspired inventors to bring forth several "new and improved" hay balers in the 1840s. Cordage, straps and wood hoops were used to bind the bales until Emery's rig came along. Wire was the article need ed for the final conversion of the hay bale into a standard com modity of American commerce. Centennial Year This year of 1957 is as good as any to nominate as the time for a centennial observance of the birth of haywire in the Am erican scene It ties in well with the 1957 theme of the Pacific Logging congress to be held in Seattle Oct. 30-31-Nov. 1. This is "New Frontiers in Logging." frontier of a century ago. Horses and oxen hauled the logs. They had to have hay. Bales made the transportation of hay pos sible up the rivers and through the trees.' Then, as the bales were broken and the hay consumed day by day, the ingenuity of the loggers turned the residual haywire into amazing and wonderful uses. Right soon haywire was being used in the Lake States pineries for everything from patching harness to hanging horsethieves. Haywire proved' to be a super ior substitute for suspender but tons. Boys made haywire fish hooks. Backwoods mothers got along with haywire diaper pins. Out West haywire was at times worth its weight in gold. The jasper who ventured to steal haywire in the bullteam logging camp ran the risk of a puncture from the bullpuncher's goad. New Logging Frontier The modern gasoline-powrered logging tractor will be at the forefront of the machinery and equipment show of the 1957 Pa cific Logging Congress at Seat tle. I well remember my first experience with a machine of that kind, in the year of old, 1912. It was on wheels, like the steam threshing engine of the period, and was rigged up to replace horses on the log haul. On the engine's first day of trial its cam shaft began to clat ter and screech. The. logging teamsters hoped this was its death rattle. But the engineer removed plates, looked things Now Many Wear FALSE TEETH With Little Worry Eat. talk, laugh or sneeze without fear of Insecure false teeth dropping. slipping or wobbling.

Somehow he cinch ed the cams solidly with hay wire, and the rig's internal com bustion engine worked on well enough through the day. A" log hauling machine that could be fixed with haywire, the loggers agreed, was bound to make its way in the lumber woods. ' It took 50 years of invention to produce a practical haybaling machine and to provide an ade quate binder for the product. Then for another 50 years and more oxen and horses advanced the American frontier westward through forest and range. Baled hay fed the animals. And the haywire leftovers played a pow erful part all the way through in holding things together. Good old haywire! 7 - jj' f viw f 1 1 w.a :x-.-eit mm,--.:...

Faculty member Jean Smyle, professionally known as "Venus, The Body," claims the new edu cational organization is being launched to supply a more re fined type of striptease for the country's burlesque theaters. "Burlesque can't even be classified as entertainment any more," says Jean, a sultry red head. "Ninety per cent of the girls stripping today are real dogs. They're short, saggy and fat. Most of them have big stom achs. Because of them burles que is a dying art, and we hope to bring it back." Non-Blushing Beauties The school for strippers offers a 15-week course for SI 50 with total enrollment limited to 25 blush-proof girls. Included in the curriculum are such eyebrow-raising sub jects as removal of inhibitions, posturing and posing, exotic technique and walking with a wiggle. Jean, who measures 1 36Vz-25-37 and stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall, says outsize measurements are not required. "We're attempting to bring back to stripteasing," she ex plained. "The day of the girl who walks on a stage just to peel off her clothes is over. "We'll still strip, of course but with class." According to Jean every state and city has different laws gov erning how much a girl can take. off. Not Just Undressing "Some places are pretty strict making us wear panties and bras. Other cities let strippers peal down to a G-string and nothing else. The San Francisco Oakland area is pretty liberal. So are Baltimore and Chicago. "Boston is the worst or best of all. I've seen gals take everything off at the old How ard theater. "But that's vulgar. Most strippers are wives and mothers. They're anxious to see stripteas ing become respectable. So are their husbands. After all, a girl has to think of her reputation." Jean went on to say that she objects to bumps and grinds, but that most audiences are out raged if they're not forthcom ing. "We're teaching other talents too," Jean said. "About a third of our . audiences nowadays are women and they- expect more 'art.' And more money is being paid strippers all the time, so gals have to be versatile. "In Las Vegas the clubs start strippers at S300 a week. For that kind of money a girl has to do more than undress. Heck, every woman can do that." ERROR CHARGED Milwaukee (IP) A scalper was charged with an error yes terday when he tried to sell a pair of $7 World Series tickets to a policeman for $40.
