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.

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. Occasionally, the disease

involves arteries all over the
body. 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.

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

practice complaints a g a i n st

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

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."

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.

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. . Treasury
sources said she was wading
right in. -
Mrs. Smith is no stranger
to money matters. She served
as a director of a family busi
ness for many years, the Ru

treal, and together with a
friend, founded a women's
clothing shop in her adopted
home town of Kentfield,
Calif., in 1945.
"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. The
Gunns live in Beford Village,
Westchester county, N.Y., and
have two daughters, Shelly
