We arc fully prepared, from advance notices, for the wide screen and the sound coming' from all directions, so it was mainly a matter of sitting back and enjoying the play. There were startling moments. When the thunder pealed over Mount Calvary It mndc you Jump as a burst of thunder should. When the Emperor snarled in your face soat in vour eye so to speak It made you cringe as It should when a vicious emperor cuts loose. Cinemascope is entirely different than I-D with Its trick effects, like Hons Jumping down your throat. It's not a matter of trick effects but rather of Improved over - all technique', The color Is better. The photog raphy is better. The sound Is bet ter. The wlde-anglo photography and wide-angle screen bring you more ef the action . of the play and give you a feeling of Intimacy with the actum. The sound too, com ing directly from the actors or en veloping the audience as- In the case of the thunder storm, gives you a feeling of being "in the act." The story itself, The Robe, Is a great one. With fine characteri sation, plus the refined technique of cinemascope. It bents any Christian-Roman epic that we've seen. WE'VE WATCHED the ellccts of television on the habits of family life with great interest, of course. What It would do to newspaper reading was vital.

The government already drains the supply to get men to handle such things as guided missiles, Jet planes and foreign economic aid and development.

The wind and the warm weather have combined to take out a goodly portion of the Ice In the Upper Lake. Yesterday In the rare in tervals of sunshine it looked almost like it's supposed to. Reflecting the blue of the sky, enough wind to kick It up into lively little wavelets and the pines bordering Its shores showing off their bright green, It made quite a picture. Enough of a pretty picture that literally hundreds of cars filled with beauty loving Sunday drivers rolled no lo Uio end of pavement and back. And well that they should. That Westsido drivo is one of the prettiest in the West. We are wait ing hopefully for spring to see what it looks like then. In fall It Is gorgeous m a barbaric way. In winter It has a stark beauty all Its own, now we need to see its moods in spring and summer. THE ROUNDS are reading newspapers as thor. oughly as ever in places where there is lots of television. In a continuing 6-year survey of TV's effect on family life con ducted by Cunningham and Walsh, Inc., the woll-knswn advertising agency, it was found that people spend as much time with the news paper as they did before TV. The report ("Vldeolown 1953") snid. "Newspaper reading Is Just about the only regular activity which showed no change after the advent of TV." We're read, further, that movie going and the reading of books have been affected most by TV. While this hns been true at the outset, we don't look for the movies to dry up and take a second place in mass entertainment especially after see ing Cinemascope. At the time when Tom Mix (who was shown in the Cinemascope in troduction) was riding down the bad men with the help of his wonder horse Tony, there was some con jecture that radio might overwhelm the movies. What has happened, of course, is that radio has simply added another avenue of enjoyment for the American family. It has added to rather than taken the place of. The same thing Is starting to hap pen with television. The 1B54 Amer ican citizen has more leisure time Ulan any citizen ever had before; he has more and better tilings go ing on to occupy that time. Cinemascope certainly Isn t the final answer any more than the first talkie picture was. but some thing new has been added and you can bet that the lusty movie Indus try Is going to keep right on working on the theory that there is no final answer but that "movies are belter than ever." the war, contends Hint a principal reason lor the current lack ot students studying to be engineers Is ihat ton ninny high school stud ents aren't taught the funda mentals of arithmetic.

Joaquin continues: "I was dizzy and sometimes senseless. This perhaps was be cause the wound was so near the brain. I constantly thought I was on the mountain slope overlooking home and kept telling tho men to go and bring my mother. "That night the Indian camp was plundered and burnt. The next morning, as the provisions were out, preparations were made to descend the mountain. I here must not forget the kind, but half savage attention of these rough men. They could do but little, it is true, but they were untiring In at tention and sympathy. They held my head in their laps and talked low and tenderly of early health and my return home. I saw one man crying, the tears dropping down Into his long grizzly beard: then I thought I should surely die. "In tho morning one kind but mistaken old fellow brought a leath er bag and held it up haughtily be fore my eyes in his leit hand, while he tapped it gently with his bowie knife. The blood was oozing through the seams of the bag and trickling at his feet. " 'Them's scalps.' "I grew sick at the sight. ''The wounded were carried on the backs of squaws that had been taken in the fight, A very old and wrinkled woman carried me on her bnck by setting me In a larRe buckskin, with one leg on each side of her body,, then supporting the weight by a blond leather strap passed across her brow. This was not uncoiniortnble, all things con sidered. In fact, it was by far tile best thing that could be done. "The first half day the old wom an was 'sulky.' as the men called it; possibly the wrinkled old crea ture could feel, and was thinking of her dead. "In the afternoon I bewail to rally and spoke to her in her own tongue. Then she talked and talked, and mourned, and would not be still. 'You.' she moaned, 'have killed nil my boys, and burnt up my home.' "I ventured to protest that thev had first robbed us. "No," she said", 'you first robbed us. You drove Us from the river. We could not fish, we cduld not hunt, we were hungry and took your provisions to eat. My boys did not kill you. They could have killed you a HAL NEW YORK ..Ti Twenty-five men a day ask pretty Pat Matte son this question; "Are you made of plastic?"

OREGON hundred times, but they only took tilings to eat, when they could not get fish and tilings on the river we reached the Sacramento in safety, and pitched camp on the bank of the river under some sweep ing cedars about a mile below the site of the present hotel on the Lower Soda Spring ranch. Here I lay a long time, till able to travel. Those beautiful trees were still standing when I returned there in 1872. "It was necessary to go to San Francisco to recover my health; but I tired of the city soon, and longed for the mountains and my Indian companions. "In the spring I returned, found Mountain Joe ploughing and plant ing at Soda Springs, and after resting and making arrangements for the further Improvement of the ranch, pushed back over the moun tains to my Indians. All were there, Pnquita, Klamat, the chief, and his daughter, who, although she was much to me I shall barely mention in these pages . . ." Tills narrative by Joaquin sheds considerable light upon this battle of the Crags and further empha sizes the Indian nature of its con duct, the taking of the squaws as prisoners and it became the task of the conquered to carry the wounded ns It always was the case In these examples of Indian con flict. In this early narrative, Joaquin, goes to San Francisco to recover hit health but hi his later narra tive he is treated by an Italian phy sician at Shasta. To me, at least, the affair of the Italian physician sounds like Joaquin's romancing, a new character to como into his world of fancy after his book "Un written History." These fanciful people in Joaquin's life are easily understood for every great writer is surrounded by the characters his mind creates, to him, these people of imagination are very real". With Joaquin, it is difficult to separate the imaginative charac ters from the true individuals around him and often real people seem to become two personalities in Joaquin's writings. In "Unwrit ten History" the chief's daughter In real, while Paqulta is a charac ter that represents all the good of Indian womanhood, in part, this writer believes she Is the chief's daughter Klamat the young Indian boy represents all the good In the Indian male. The Prince, without a doubt represents the romantic side of Mountain Joe. BOYLE she can do so by spraying on a new paint with a vacuum clean er. But it would take her three hours." ' There Is a growing Interest In sports cars. In the first few days of the show here sales passed the million dollar mark. Since Uie car Pat is demonstrating sells in the $3,750 - $4,000 class, and foreign cars are priced up to $17,000, ob viously the market Isn't among teenage hot rodders. "It is older people who can af lord them who show the most In terest.'' she said. One elderly man. after explor ing the potentialities of the plastic car. asked Pat if she would con sider a proposal of marriage. Turning on her most plastic smile. Pat responded with feigned eager ness, "Consider It? Why". Tlie man left in a hurry. "But you'd be surprised how few serious wolves there are," said Pat. who feels she is a typl cal Middle West girl, even though she does like to wear plastic sil ver fingernail polish. Her versatile modeling ability enables her to travel and earn the kind of money stenographers dream about. She has modeled hats, appeared on television, and demonstrated cigarettes, home furnishings, and a new magnetic starter motor for Uie Genera) Electric people. It was her skill at putting to gether, taking apart and explain ing the mechanism of the mag netic starter motor that won Pat her job of demonstrating the plas tic sports car.

Scott Mc Leod when he stayed mum. It's even less so now that he's talking. He said little publicly lor ut most n year after Secretary of State Dulies hired him to look lor subversives and security risks In the State Department. now suddenly within a month McLeod, a former FBI agent, not only has been giving Interviews but has made speeches, at Repub lican rallies. Ll-53 than a month ago five former diplomats, in a letter to the New ork Times, said the depart ment's security program was wrecking the morale of foreign service officers. Within tho month McLeod, not always the easiest man for re- porters to see, answered questions lor a group of them at an olf-tiic- record dinner and gave a lengthy interview to the magazine U.S. News and World Report. Last week he made five speeches at Republican gatherings in Wyo ming and South Dakota. As he was returning over the weekend from the talking trip the question of morale was raised again. The Washington Star quoted civil service officials as saying Mcleod wants his investigators taken out from under civil service so he con have "another FBI." And the paper quoted some de partment employes as saying Mc Leod told them at a meeting he wanted the change made so he could "hire and fire" as he pleased. "Since that meeting." Uie Star said. ' it is understood that at least 15 or JO veteran investigators nave quit , , , Employes In the division say morale is at a low ebb. . . ." But McLcod's speechmuking to the Western Republicans already had got him Into a dispute because of the Hitch Act, which bans polit itcal activity by certain categories of government workers. Was Mc Leod covered? A civil service official said he was. The State Department's legal counspllor said he wasn't. Tho de partment is slicking to that. Demo crats criticized McLeod, as was to be expected. McLeod's superiors have stuck by him. He got into a rumpus, or was dragged into it, right alter Dulles hired him last March. At the time he was administrative assistant to Sen. Bridges IR-NHl. While Uie Democrats ran it, the Slate Department had been pic tured by Republicans, particularly Sen. McCarthy (R-Wls), as a happy hunting ground lor Communists. McLeod was a friend of McCarthy but denies McCarUiy got him his job. before McLeod had time to lenin his way around the corridors, Bridges attacked President Elsen- ihowei's choice of Charles E. Boh- len to be ambassador to Moscow. And McCarthy and Sen. McCnr ran tD-Ncv) lit into Dulles. They said Ihat when the secretary told the Senate an FBI report gave Bohlen a clean bill, he misrepre sented it. McLeod, they said, had objected to Uie appouitmcnt v but had been overridden by Dulles. Dulles denied this. The whole security problem boiled over after Eisenhower on Jan. 7 announced 2.200 security risks had been separated from their overmuch! jobs. I Some Republicans suggested practically nil 2.200 were subve:- ; slves although a security risk could be anything from a Conununist to la drunk, liar, crook or homo- ! sexual. Newsmen and Democrats began 'asking lor a breakdown, knowing found by the Eisenhower adminis tration when it took over from the Democrats will be a campaign Issue. The administration has given none. Last week McLeod was reported to have told a congressional com mittee only 11 ol 53 security risks separated from the State Depart ment Involved loyalty. Later he said the figures were Inaccurate. Last week on his Western trip he told his Republican audience: "I don't think the people care !f they were drunks, pervorts, or Communists they Just want us to get rid of them." VALENTINE CALDWELL.

JORDAN, M.D. Mrs. L., who says she Is over 70 years old, writes that she had a leakage of the heart, and the main trouble she has from it is that she retains water In her "stomach." She requests a dis cussion of this subject. First. I should like to say that the water, or rather tissue fluids which are retained are almost cer tainly not in the stomach, but rather In the abdominal cavity, and one would expect that she wnuld also be likely to have some fluid In her ankles and possibly oth- , cr portions of the body. The retention of body fluids and Its accumulation in the tis sues is called dropsy, or edema. In addition to the abdominal cavity, the feet, the lower part of the back, and under the eyes nro particularly likely to be waiter-logged in this manner. I The presence of edema fluid lis not a disease In Itself. Drop sical fluid can accumulate and can be kept In the tissues for any one of a number of different reasons. One of the most common i causes of edema Is heart disease. When the heart Is unable to do its full job of keeping the circu lation going in a normal maimer, slowing of the blood flow occurs. If this slowing Is too great the blood Is not pumped through the kidneys fast enough and. there fore, some of the fluid which should be eliminated from the body through the urine is retained. There a re other conditions which may produce dropsical ac cumulation of fluid but probably the most common are the two mentioned.

Beck, chief of the i,w.wr member Teamsters Union, hit at Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey's money policies ana said they are responsible for the present unemployment situation. "Our present economic situation can be traced right back to the hard money' policy launched by Humphrey nearly a year ago. Beck said. "This search for hard money has brought on hard times. The Teamsters Union's Interna tional Executive Board ws ex pected either to reject outright or throw so many conditions into ac cepting a proposed AFW!IO "no raiding" agreement as to place its effectiveness in jeopardy. AFL President George Meany. chief proponent of the AFL-CIO peace plan, left Miami Beach to day ahead of the opening session of the teamsters board. Meany has hen trvlni to persuade labor unions to agree to peaceful settle ment of their rivalries. Beck, who has called a score of lawyers to the teamsters board meeting, was expected to contend that the "no raid" pact Is illegal under the Taft-Hartley Act. Tni agreement is designed to bar I union from one federation against trying to capture members already organized by a union In the other federation. The peace agreement would apply, nowever, only to unions specifically signing it. The teamsters, one of the largest unions in the country, could virtually tor pedo the plan by a veto. That Beck, who has considerable ambitions to swell teamsters mem bership, would refuse to go along with the plan was considered foregone conclusion as the team sters board meeting got under way. Some teamsters lawyers were prepared to argue that the' AFL-CIO plan, by designating the areas in which each union could organize members, would deny workers the right to choose be tween the unions, or overUirow one union in favor of another. This argument was seriously challenged by other attorneys fa miliar with the T-H law. They pointed out that the law -recognizes exclusive jurisdiction of union organizing by specifying how juris die tional disputes between rival unions may be settled. Beck said the experiment launched by Treasury Secretary Humphrey shortly after President Elsenhower took office of issuing government bonds at higher inter est rates had retarded credit, re stricted business activity and spurred the present unemployment situation. He said the auto industry was the hardest hit, being In "the worst position in 30 years." He said used car values had declined to Ulc point where thousands of car own ers are turning their autos back to finance companies for Uie bal ance due because they can buy the same type car off used car lots for less money. Anyone, Beck told reporters, can walk Into an automoolle salesroom with cash and buy a new car at anywhere up U 30 per cent off list dropsy develops, it is Important to find out what is causing it and to remove or remedy the cause whenever possible.

"What kind of hocus pocus do they use?" 'Do they wave hbio whiioy" w.'it lav it right on the Una. There Is no gimmick, hocus pocus nor magic wand. More than J50.0O0 persons from every walk of life have recovered from the disease of alcoholism through AA, first because they wanted to quit drinking and made a firm resolution to do so. Ii is doubtful whether a trainload of psychiatrists, spiritual advisera and social workers could be of any help to an alcoholic ,who didn't want to quit unnxing. MILLIONS AFFLICTED Researchers estimate that right now there are some four million persons in the United States who are afflicted with alcoholism which has been tabbed as ruotio Health Problem No. 4. And there are many experts who believe that al coholism should also have a "pub lic enemy" rating., It has caused enough grief and misery and vio lent deaUis to take its place among the arch-criminals of all times. Still out of tne rougmy estimated 70,000,000 persons in the United States who use alcohol, all but four per cent seem to be able .to handle the stuff reasonably well. But every student of alcoholism In the coun try agrees that those, in the four per cent class should never take a drink. Before concluding this series cA the disease of alcoholism and what Alcoholics Anonymous is doing to combat It, we intend to outline the entire program of recovery of fered by AA and present an analy sis of each of its 12 Steps made bv experts on the subject. But first we would like to repeat a little of the history of the organization. Alcoholics Anonymous, as des cribed by Fortune Magazine, "was conceived by a drunk on a bed in a drunks' hospital in New York in 1934 and had a hard birth in Ak ron, Ohio, the following year. A doctor of medicine was present but at this critical moment was too alcoholically Jittery to know that an accouchement was taking place." REALLV AMERICAN Fortune slates further that "the American tradition of adverse be ginning was thus fulfilled by this organization, which today equally fulfills the tradition of success af ter struggle. By birthplace, her itage, tradition, habits, looks and tone of voice, Alcoholics Anony mous is unmistakably Amerlcaa" We desire to stress again what we have stated before, Alcoholics Anonymous offers no magic formu la or so-called "cure" for the dis ease of alcoholism. There are 12 simple steps which are the basis of AA.
