Mighty Hunters By DEB ADDISON Y3UTL find a wonderful example of how not to Improve relationship between hunters and landowners In this story told by Mickey Wampler. lTn T Va ranrhrr. " : , w ... th ADDISON i ' vsW-- ens-whst he calls a bemyarJ 7 ' , menagerie. The birds are kept about 100 yards from the nouse, all in plain sight of th road. "Bad" Is the light tense. Last f Wednesday he a away (or th day. On return horn he found empty shotgun shells and evidence of the sis ughter of all the gees and seven or eight of the duckv All hsd been packed off by the mighty hunters. - Three of th geese were tarn Canada. Th other six were tst old barnyard honkers. The ducks were tarn mallards. Last year, Mickey Investigated a commotion In his feed lot, and found a hunter who had tracked a , couple of "elk In to the bunch of cattle. It was last year, too, that a spotlight er shot one of his cows and left It to rot. Mickey hasnt anything against hunters, as such. Matter of fact, he'd rather hunt than eat, himself. What riles him Is that there always seems to be a few goofs roaming around loose, under the guise cf 'sportsmen." who should hav stayed horn and played poker. The Wampler place Is posted but Mickey says he l never turned down aa honest request to hunt. Loots now like hell have to back up his No Trespass signs with bis own shotgun. Many ranchers hsva posted their place because of similar Incidents." There are a lot of trigger happy people who should sell their guns to the second hand man. THE trouble with the country Is that everybody has to get Into the act. Everybody has to do everything that anyone else does. If the shoemaker would stick to his last; If the golfer would stay on the links; if th bowler would use up all his energy knocking down the pins; If the card 'sharp would stick to bridge, poker and pinochle: and so on then w hunters would get along better with the farmers and everybody would be happy. THE turn In the weather ought to make the foul weather school of duck hunters hsppy for the wind up. There's been no dearth of ducks and geese. All agree that there are more of the feathered friend around than in many, many years. The only trouble Is getting at the right place at the right time. Brings to mind the story the other dsy from a friend (who may be a little green to the old mud and tale fraternity.) There were birds galore, he said, but they all kept flying out, circling around. and sluing down In the ponds In the marsh I . ...

It is envy, greed, cupidity: tor others. It to simply thst they cannot wait. They would rather be paid by the government. They would rather move by seniority, by periodic examinations than by the risk of personal achievement. One described all this as a personal problem. J. The third group Is totally for socialised medl cine, socialised hospitals, a socialised medical pro fession. They are the Marxists and the Innocents who follow them. They believe In the socialisation of everything and It makes llltle difference to them where It starts. Today, they are a bit frightened by the unfavorable developments in England, where socialised medicine to settling down to a deadly pall for doctors and patients. But they are not hopeless that In some manner. It can all be made to "Work In the United States. IN any medical group. In any medical society, ex cept such as are especially organised for socialist propaganda. It will be found that most American physicians abhor socialised medicine and find It unnecessary In the current circumstances of Ameri can life. They not only object to their enslavement as a profession and a class to the state, but they fear that the great advances that have been made in medicine In a free society will be arrested. Physicians have accustomed themselves generally not to engage in politics. Some of the medieval secrecy of their profession continues Into our age. Newspapermen used to have the greatest difficulty jetting anything out of a doctor on the grounds that even If his name appeared In the newspapers, he was guilty of something unprofessional. I think the Mayos smashed that nonsense: they got thelr namea Into the newspapers all the time, evoking a general Interest In their profession. Also Dr. Morris Fishbein did much to break down the newspaper prejudice against doctors. It Is the voicelessness of the medical profession that gives the politicians the courage to go after this profession as they dare not go after lawyers, for Instance. Oscar Ewlng. who to most responsible for the war on doctors, to a lawyer and does not advocate the socialization of lawyers. He knows that most members of congress are lawyers and they would fan upon him like a herd of elephants on the rampage. , BUT doctors regard themselves as too dignified to fight back politically, which is the only way that they can fight back In this country. They have to fsce the fact that congress counts votes and the president counts rotes, and only those who can produce vote force these elected officials to their will. The other night I was talking before a medical association when I happened to call the American Medical association a trade union. This offended on physician who became very serious about it. sius wnas mis man did not and could not under stand was that the reason the doctors are so scared u uiry are not a union, a trade or nmfM.i...i asm ww er au eawwe, mci.n. ara, a a nr. err.

Business Mirror Vets' Refunds, Pay Increases Should Ease Post-Yule Slump By SAX DAWSON NEW YORK. Nov. S WV-The eco nomic needle to loaded for a couple of shots in the arm In January. This may come In quite handy for mer chants at the time of the traditional post-Chris Unas letdown. And some observers see the nation getting set ior new miiauonary upswing. Veterans will be receiving be tween two and three billion dollars In Insurance refunds. And one mil lion and a half workers will get a pay raise of five to ten cents an hour when the revised minimum wage law goes Into effect at the eno or January, boosting employers' annual wage bill by about $300 mil lion. Both of these things will put more spending money in the na tion's pockets. Inflation Inflation occurs when there Is more spending money available, but the amount of goods to buy to not Increased. That leads to price rises. Earlier this year production of goods was cut back and Inventories whittled because sales and prices were dropping. This faU strikes have reduced production of many goods. Some see the minimum wage and the veterans' refund In January as but another two Items added to many others exerting pressure to ward Inflation. The most Important one they see Is the government's policy of deficit financing, which will run the treasury another $54 billion behind by June 30. thus pumping that much more money In to the banking system of th coun try. - Stock Mirror The stock market has been re flecting this expected renewal of In flatlon. The market value of stocks has been increased by $10 billion since June 30. All of this, of course, is Just on paper. All of that $10 billion has not, probably never will, find Its way Into the spending stream. And paper profits can al ways disappear. Just as they came, on paper. Against these upward trends, however, are others acting as a drag, tending to keep sales and prices down. Therefore, some eco nomists Insist thst 1950 win either be a year of mild deflation, or one In which Inflation and deflation fight to a draw. Deflation Left look at th deflationary trends first. Labor's drive for pensions, If won, may send production costs of many goods higher, but at the same time either leave the worker's take-home pay the same, or even lower If he contributes to pensions. That means less money available to buy more crauy gooas, ana retail sales totals msy drop further. Strikes are cutting down buying power of those laid off. as well as of merchants In strike areas. Tsxes hold down buying power, and there Is renewed talk of higher taxes next year. Pressures Now let's look at the Inflationary pressures. In addition to those al ready named above. The money supply to already about 83 per cent above 1939. The nation's disposable personal income has Increased ever since the war. The public has $5 billion In VS. savings bonds available. A total of $800 million In Christmas club sav ings wUl be paid out by the banks next month. Most corporations are either maintaining dividend rates or In creasing them and declaring year end' extras. Home building hss spurted. The new housing bill will make more money available. The government to spending more than $43 billion this fiscal year. For defense It Is putting $123 billion in to the economic stream; for foreign aid $4.1 billion; for crop subsidies $1.4 billion. Salaries of many gov ernment employes have Just been raised. There's a lot of moner to be available next year to back up the guess of the Wall street bulls who think inflation Is staging a comeback. Thoughtful Gunman Gets $250 Loot MEMPHIS. Nov.

And five years later the. were paying me $3000 to $5000 for me same material I hao tried to give them for nothing." He himself got an excellent bit of advice from one star for whom ne wrote movie dialogue WUl Rogers. N Offense "Dont offend anyone." the genial cowboy wrote on one of about 100 Postal cards he mailed Morey over the years. -I get by because no matter what I say about anyone I always wind up saying something good about him also." At 37 Morey. one of the he-it mA libbers In the trade, figures he has cornea himself some 10X100 gags. -ror a while I was doing 7$ shows a week and had to throw 200 Jokes a day." recalled Amster dsm, who now has his own pro gram on tne Du Pont television net work. "I believe I really know a mil lion Jokes. Some comedians keep a file. D don't. It's a waste of time. "I think It's easier to make up a new Joke or remember one that fits the situation than It to to dig through a file." Favorite Gag Morey likes ridiculous humor but humor that also carries a thought behind It. His best gag? "I like one I wrote for a Bob Benchley movie short. Benchley picks up a phone and says: "Hello honev. Oct the kM off the street I'm driving home.' " Morey has a theory that what de feats most comedians to lack of con fidence In their own Jokes. "You have to tell them like you think they're funny yourself." ha said. "Old material alone never reallv killed a comediin. No matter what Joke you tell It's new to a large pari or your audience. Amsterdam la a song writer as weU as a comic. Among his best known are "Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave Wyoming." "Rum and Coca Cola," and the current "Yuk a Puk." First Success "The first thing I ever sold wss a song to Sophie Tucker when I was 14 years old." he recalled. "She was In San Francisco. I went backstage and sang the song to her my brother played piano and she bought it on 'he spot for $50." Morey says It Is foolish for an amateur to try to heckle a profes sional performer, aa the performer keep about 100 gags ready for Just such an emergency. Once he was sued over the suthorshlp of one of his songs. When Morey took the stand the p I a 1 n 1 1 f f's lawyer sneered: "So you're a comedian I Make laugh." "I will If youll lend me your face." said Morey. The lawyer went back to law-tng. FDR' Guest Once Amsterdam waa a guest at the White House and President Roosevelt asked for a few gags he could tell his visitors. "Slip my name Into one of those fireside chats." said Morey.

By DFWITT MAIKKNCIB I AP rrelgn Affaire Analyst On week front today th law of India It scheduled to exact th death penalty on th gallows from two Hindus fur th assassination on January 30. of Malialma Oan din, on of the greatest spiritual leaders ol all lime. If any on ought to be hangrd. surely that fate should befall Nara yan V. Oodsr. whose hand held th pistol which f I red th fatal shots, and his fellow conspira tor. Narayait B. Apte. T h I r s was a crime which not only India but the world at large cannot forgive. Gaadhl'a Wish? By all odds, they should be punished. Still, at one who knew me saintly lime aisckensle Mahatma. I believe If he could make his wishes known he would ask that the sentences of death be commuted. Indeed Oandhl rendered his twr. sonal verdict even as he died. He bs warning across the lawn of his prayer meeting grounds In New Delhi, to attend a gathering of his followers, when the assassin ttruck. as tne IB year old Mahatma sank under th Impart of two or more bullets he raised his hand to Oods in th Hindu sign of forgiveness. That la what would be nrii from the man who once inM m that his greaten Inspiration had been Christ's sermon on the mount. This being the attitude nf a life long exponent of non-violence, one wonders whether the Indian govern ment may yet Intervene to prevent the hangings, and commute the sen tences to Imprisonment. Nehru's Power Should any move of this sort be made it would have to be Initiated officially by Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru, who yesterday fin ished his lengthy visit In America and flew bark to India. Nehru was Oandhi's devoted disciple and held the Mnhatma In deepest reverence end love. Nehru once characterized Osndhl thus: FUNNY BUSINESS 3' 'w nmiiimiwuiiiil .t sw a "I tried the idea of taka-away radio program IntUad of givo-tway on!" What's Money?

It was Nehru who mounted the gales to the grounds where Oandhl wss slsln and assured the anxious thousands that they would have a chance to see their "Bapull" little father'. And Nehru sobbed tn his grtef as he spoke. Doctor Soys Check All Heart Murmurs By sjPWIN P JORDAN, M C The heart has four chambers which contain blood. When the mus cular walls of these chambers con tract, the blood to pushed from one chamber Into the other. Valvea are present Inside the heart which keep the blood from flowing back Into the chamber from which the blood has Just been expelled. If the valves fall to hold the blood back as they should, some goes the wrong way. When the doctor listens over the heart In such cases he hears a sort of rushing sound which ' Is called a murmur. For example. In some children the growth of the heart and the valves between the heart chambers do not quite keep in step so that a slight murmur can be heard even when the valves are really normal. This kind of murmur to "function al" and Is not serious. It disap pears as the youngster grows older. More serious are the murmurs which come from abnormal valves which are defective either because the child was born that way or from disease. The vslve deformi ties present at birth are compara tively rare and can usually be dis covered quite early. Most of the valve troubles which cause mur murs in childhood and youth are caused by rheumatic fever. Even this, however, can be so mild that nothing serious ever develops. Calls For Rest Rheumatic fever Injures the heart valves by causing growths on the Hps of cusps of the valves so that they cannot close completely. If the damage to the heart valves has been severe, the murmur may mean that physical activity has to be curtailed. However, In many cases the growths are small and not active and even though they have produced enough damage to cause a murmur to be heard, the heart to able to do its Job' with out trouble. In each case the cause of a mur mur should be Investigated. Merely hearing a murmur in the heart, however, doea not always mean that ordinary exercise has to be eliminated, or that a shorter life Is In the cards. ' The Doctor Answers QUESTION: What could cause pain in the top of the head on awakening followed by extreme fa tigue after breakfast? ANSWER: One can. only guess at this. It may possibly be associated with a low blood sugsr or some other disturbance of metabolism. nilEUMUlCM ACIIES-KUnS Don't 'doss' yourself. Rob the aehrsg part well with Musterole.

NEW YORK i-n-Aflsr 1400 years, men havt almost slopped us ing gold coins. Meanwhile. If you go down to look at the Chase Na Uutial Bank's collection of moneys of the world, Miss Blanche Clough will tell you they have used vir tually everything else for money. it anyone tells me that some thing has been used for moner. I tell him It Is probably true." she says. In a quirk look over the col lection Miss Clough could not point to a single gold coin which she wss sure Is being minted today and Is In general circulation. (Home cur rent coins are used for hoarding but are not In general circulation.) But there was almost everything else from caribou teeth of the North to the 30-inch alone disks of Ysp which will buy a wife. First Geld The first gold coins were prob ably minted by King Croesus of Lv dla Just about 3M0 years ago i&OO B.C.. First silver coins seem to have appeared both In Lydia and Aegui about 200 yeara earlier. They also used electrum, a mixture of stiver and gold. The collection has sample of these coins. But there la also a gold brace-let-type piece that was probably used as money In Egypt about 1000 BC. A brons piece nf similar shaoe. made In Birmingham. Eng. land, still clrculsies as money among tribes on the west coast of Africa. A bronse ring probably cir culated as money In Egypt about 3000 B .C.
