Wife of Defeated
Solon Concedes
She Was Communist
OKANOGAN, Wash. (UPI) -Mrs.
Sally Goldmark admitted
Wednesday that voters in the
first legislative district probably
had a right to know that the
wife of one of their legislators
was a former Communist.
But she testified in Okanogan
County Superior Court, "it
would have caused me a great
deal of agony and I didn't think
it was pertinent; so I didn't tell
them."
Mrs. Goldmark began her
fourth day on the witness stand
today in trial of the $225,000
libel suit she and her husband,
John, filed after the 12 pri
mary election.
Goldmark lost his bid for the
Democratic nomination for a
fourth term in the State House
of Representatives in that elec
tion. Mrs. Goldmark said she kept
her membership in the Commu
nist party a secret but did not
have to talk about it because
no one ever asked her.
She said she never served as

Three Horns For
Who Knows What?
This Utile character, equipped
wilh three silly horns on the top
of his head, has no idea what
Ihey are for. Neither do any ol
Ihe rest of us.
nut h is slur-It wilh them.
and on him they look good. Of
course, an ox would look just as
ridiculous wilh three horns . . .
two where they should bo and
one long one in front. Just as
peculiar is the so-called ox
bcclle. Tlmi'o me nl least 12.0011 spe
cies of beetles in Urn United
Slates, and millions ol individ
uals of each . . . all of which
total up to what tho little boy
said is "a mess of hugs."
One of the larger species of
beetles, of which the ox-beellc
is one, always seems lo be hur
rying from one place to another.
The truth is the beetles seldom
know where Ihey are going. The
occasional glimpse we got of
them happens when misfortune
disrupts their normal way of
life and reveals them to us.
Ordinarily Ihey spend their timo
in Ihe ground, or out of sight
in leaves or decayed wood.
Dislike Sunlight
Ox beetles dislike sunlight. H
caught in the open they exert
every ellorl to get back under
cover again. As undercover
agents they have no equal. The
big, black hectics wilh Ihe three
horns are about the best ol the
lot.
Some people call old lliroc
hnrn Ihc "rhinoceroiis beetle."
They do resemble Ihc African
animal in head adornment, even
more than they resemble an ox.
These ground-dwelling beetles
are often 2Ki inches long. The
males have three curved horns
on tho head; Ihe females have
only one the two smaller
horns arc absent.
The body of the ox heelle is
dark brown, shiny and hard
They have lour wings, although
Ihe hard outer covers hide the
real Hying wings. The outer
w ings nrc raised nut of the way
when Iho Insect is about lo lly.
Tho flying wings are thin mem
branes, and seldom visible un
less the covers are raised.
Purpose Unknown
The exact purpose ol Ihe three
horns is not definitely known.
They probably give lo the bee
lies a ferocious and dangerous
appearance which causes their
enemies lo slop and consider
before launching an attack. Like
nil beetles, the ox variety has
six very slrong legs, each ol
which is equipped with sharp,
curving claws with which earth
or rolling wood is loin apart
when the beetles search lor food.
The food consists mostly of
olher insects, most of w hich are
harmful lo man's crops or cul
tivated plants. This preference
for special Insects places the
