FEBRUARY 24. 1981 Abraham Lincoln Documents Found In San Francisco San Frincisco-AIPD- The FBI nd police in two cities have combined forces in an effort to olve the mystery of the Abra ham Lincoln manuscripts that were stolen In Chicago and turned in to police here. An' attache case containing the documents was turned ov er to San Francisco police Tuesday by a poet named James Murray. The manu scripts were in manila en lopes which identified them as "originals and photostats" from the University of Chica go Library. Received From Friend Murray, 29, said he got them from a friend identified only as "Martin." The poet said his friend was fired from a job as typist at the univer sity and apparently stole the manuscripts before coming to San Francisco. Murray said his friend "had a vague idea he could sell them for a prof it, but got cold feet the minute he laid hands on them." The Immediate w h e r e a -bouts of "Martin" was un know, but police in both San Francisco and Chicago indica ted an interest in locating him. The FBI also was interested because the case involved in terstate movement of stolen foods valued at over $5,000. The Medical Roundup CeniulUnt In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emtritui Professor of Mtdlclnt Mayo Clinic (Reflsttr and Trlbun iyndlcatt, 1961) Buerger's Disease, or Thromboangiitis Obliterans This is a peculiar disease of the arteries and sometimes of the veins. Usually it at tacks the ar teries of the legs. It shows up in men (73 men to one woman), and in men be tween the ages of 20 and 45 years. This helps to dis- Alvatn tinguish the disease from ordinary harden ing of the arteries which tends to come in the years after 50. Also, in cases of Buerger's disease, x-ray films do not show the lime deposits in the arteries which are typical of arteriosclerosis. Half of the men with this disease are Jews. Segments of the arteries will become inflamed, and then they will tend to plug up with a blood clot. There may be severe pain in the legs even when the patient is at rest.

Fortunately, when one artery is gradually plugging up, other arteries alongside of it tend to open up and to carry the blood, and this of ten, for some time, keeps the patient from getting -into ser ious trouble. Because the primary cause is not known, the disease Is not easy to treat. Heavy smoking appears to be an im portant factor - so important that some experts refuse to treat a patient unless he will quit smoking. It may help for a stout man to go on a low-fat diet and to thin down. Buerger de vised exercises which can help. If I had the trouble, I would want to place myself under the care of an expert in diseases of the blood vessels. Have a winter cold you can't shake?

(Written for UPI) The spirit of God touches men like the moving current of a great stream. Responsive ness to the unseen is the great driving power for strong liv ing. Many of the things we are most concerned about now are but the things of the hour and in five or 10 short years will be entirely for gotten, yet there are values behind them that will last as long as time itself. We are able to drink at the fountain of life and feel refreshed. There are certain rules that we must follow if we would enjoy this power of God. Obviously there must be a willingness to tune in on this power. There must be a quiet ness. When you are all tied up in knots you cannot appre ciate the inspiration of a pic- Unfair Practice Charges Planned Against Union New York-MPIl-The Nation al Labor Relations Board plans to file unfair labor practice complaints a g a i n st the International Union of Electrical Workers in connec tion with the violence-marred national strike against General Electric last tall, it has been learned. The action follows sharply on the heels of NLRB unfair labor practice complaints filed against the company Tuesday. The charges against GE also grew out of the bitter 20-day walkout by 70,000 IUE mem bers at 35 GE plants last Oc tober. On GE's Terms A contract settlement was arrived at virtually on GE's terms. A hearing on the complaint against GE will be held here on March 13. Findings will be forwarded to Washington for formal determination. The charges against the IUE are expected to be filed shortly in Boston or Buffalo. They are believed to center on the violence that took place in GE's Schenectady, N.Y., and Worcester, Mass., plants when some workers tried to go back to their jobs. President Rejects Food for Prisoners Washington (UPU President Kennedy has rejected a con gressman's suggestion that the v! United States offer to give Red China food in exchange for American prisoners. Lawrence F. O'Brien, Ken nedy's special assistant, said Thursday the Red Chinese have denied widespread fam ine and have shown no inter est in getting food. O'Brien said the Chinese Communists .probably would say such a plan was an at tempt to "interfere in their in ternal affairs" if it were of fered. O'Brien told Rep. Thomas J. Lane (D-Mass.) that the ad ministration will "continue to pursue vigorously every rea sonable alternative which holds any promise of securing the prisoners' release or ame liorating their lot." ture. a poem or a symphony, There is far too much of the world with us, and we must be able to shut it out. If we would receive this power, it must be put to some use. It can be used to make us better people, to serve our fellows. We need to yield ourselves to the fellowship of God, to let His power use us. God has given us the spirit of power to master, the spirit of love to win, and the spirit of sound mind to dare. Eugene Group Seeks Ski Development Eugene-WPD-A group in Eu gene has been formed to make a study of the possible devel opment of a major skiing and winter sports area at Diamond Peak near here. Diamond Peak, located about 70 miles southeast of Eugene near Oakridge, is own ed by the U.S. Forest Service. The group includes busi nessmen, doctors, lawyers and architects. Plans call for the area to be located at the 8,000 foot levels at Diamond Peak, which in 1957 was designated as a wild protected area. ELIZABETH RUDEL SMITH Exptcl.d To-Do Good Job Treasurer of U.S. Has Rounded Career As Business Woman Washington - iUPD - Eliza beth Rudel Smith, new, soft- spoken treasurer of the Uni ted States, is a skier, grand mother, capitalist, inventor, business woman and poli tician. Although she cannot be said to hold one of the more im portant jobs in Washington, her name will become one of the best known throughout the country. Her signature, and that of C. Douglas Dillon, secretary of the treasury, ap pears on new paper money being gradually fed into circulation. Democratic national torn- mitteewoman from California, "Libby" Smith acknowledges that she knows little about federal finances. But she is confident she has the ability to learn about her $17,000-a- year job. Speech Maker It is one of the few political sinecures left in Washington. A treasurer is expected to make speeches, promote sav ings bonds, look after some political matters - and sign money. She is free to leave the humdrum or complex daily matters of treasury ad ministration to subordlnates andsome treasurers have done just that. How Mrs. Smith will han dle the job remains to be seen, Undoubtedly, it will de pend partly on "outside" de mands on her time - she al ready has speaking commit ments for May - and how she likes the work. .

"That was a war year," Mrs. Smith recalled in an Inter view. "We had to scramble for dresses and materials. We were new and all the factor ies were selling to their regu lar customers." Sold Her Interest Once the store was a suc cess, she sold her interest and began to look around for something else to do. She did n't want to go into business again. What then? She wasn't quite sure. She took 15 hours of voca tional aptitude tests and they pointed toward politics. Co incidcntally, her neighbor, Roger Kent, decided to run for Congress. Libby Smith telephoned him to offer her services. He made her chair man of women's activities in his campaign. "I'd never been anywhere near politics before, she reflected. ine aptitude tests were right. Libby Smith liked politics and found she had a flair for it (although Kent lost; he is now Democratic state chairman). She became chairman of the Marin county Democratic central commit tee, a director of the Cali fornia Democratic council and, in 1956, national committee woman. She plans to continue in this capacity unless the state leadership feels she should make way for someone who can spend more time in California. A few years ago Mrs. Smith branched out in still another direction. A nephew interest ed her in the problem of start ing campfires with damp wood. She got to thinking about it and fashioned a paraf fin and cotton torch which "smelled up the whole neigh borhood. It was dreadful." Consulted Candle Maker Disappointed but not dis couraged; she consulted a local candle maker. She eventually came up with a fire starting device which she patented. After investing $1,500 In token production and market ing to show the product had a future, Mrs. Smith sold her interest and patent rights for a tidy profit. She has slashed a stack of the fire starters in the house she rented in the fashionable Georgetown area for use in the two fireplaces. Mrs. Smith was born in Montreal, Canada, April 27, 1911 to Clarence M. and Mary Rudel, Americans. Her father founded the Rudel Machinery Co., a sales organization, and eventually she and her broth ers took over the manage ment. It did well. Mrs. Smith lifted for the Senate finance committee during her nomina tion hearing holdings of 28 stocks and bonds, including many "blue chip" issues. Bachelor of Arts Her portfolio is managed by an Invest mcnl counselor, whom she directed to stick to safe securities which would assure her a steady income and financial security. After attending private ele mentary schools in Montreal and a boarding school in New York State, Elizabeth Rudel studied at Smith college for 2V4 years, then transferred to the University of Michigan where she received a bachelor of arts degree in Far Eastern civilization. Twice widowed, she mar ried Fred H. Smith IV In 11)42. They were divorced in 1959. She and Smith have two chil dren: Daniel, now 17, a high school senior who scored an A-minus average last semes ter; and June, who is married to Robert W. Gunn.
