I seem to have achieved a cer tain measure of fame in the gar dening field myself. People often come from as far as ten feet to admire a certain specie of man eating weed I've succeeded in rais ing out In the brush patch we laughingly refer to as the garden plot. But since I can't identify it yet (I've never been able to get close enough) I suppose the real died -in - the - wool horticulturists would rule me out on a question of legality of the. entry.

Dickenson wants 400 former prisoners of war to speak up "in the interests of ele mental Justice" and tell what they know about what went on in Com munist prisoner of war camp No. 5 In Korea. The Army will bring Dickenson before a court martial April 19 on charges that could result In the soldier's being sent to jail for the rest of his life. Guy Emery, a retired colonel who will represent Dickenson at the court martial, said at a news conference late yesterday the Army has refused: (1) To make available to him statements taken from these men by military offi cials, and (2) to tell him the Barnes of the 400 men. Dickenson, a 23-year-old Crack er's Neck, Va., soldier, is accused of collaborating with the enemy and engaging in activities that led to mistreatment of fellow prison ers , Ha Ik nn nf 91 nrB i. , refused repatriation Vfter the end of the Korean fighting.

J IfMSTl l W THE HATLO MAT MTi CS LW ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Yesterday I gave soma observa tions on mountain goats which to me are most interesting charac ters, not many people, however. have ever had the opportunity of becommg acquainted with it in its native habitat. The experience of soo keepers has been very dis heartening in trying to keep this interesting animal In captivity for It is one creature that requires the freedom of the wild and rugged places of the mountains under the watchful eye of Mother Nature and does not respond to the restricted pens of man even with the best of care. The preservation of the moun tain, goat, depends upon the pres ervation of areas of its native habitat, this should not be diffi cult because they occupy the coun try that is wild and rugged among the snowy peaks, above the area now generally occupied by man. Sometime in the history of the past the mountain sheep ranged the snow fields and glaciers of Mount Shasta, perhaps, if man was so inclined, the mountain goat could return again to the moun tain from which its ancestors van ished so many years ago. The return of the mountain goat is just a matter of public opinion and a willingness on the part of the public to see that they receive the public protection that is so necessary for a successful pro gram of restoration. Until goats do return to the mountain, people who are interested in seeing this unique animal alive, must travel far to the north to find it in its fast shrinking empire of Arctic waste. To the person who has a' love of mountains there is no greater thrill than when working up some long snowy slope he sudden ly comes face to face with one of these dwellers of the land of ice and snow. This is 8 far more satisfying experience than going to some large museum and look ing at a habitat group of stuffed animals In a glass case, mounted in a simulated landscape with a painted background. Yet for most people the museum approach will be their only contact with the wild. I will never forget my own ex perience in meeting Mr. Goat in a rugged snow filled canyon on the upper slopes of Mount Omega In British Columbia. I had been doing some research work in the little Indian village of Chekye on the Squamish River at the head of Howe Sound. As we headed out to work in the woods each day we could look back across the river and see the three great peaks of the range across the valley. THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Sometimes, what sounds like a complicated question may not be really difficult at all. assuming that the medical facts are accurately available. Q If a young wife had. tubercu losis, and after spending a year in a sanatorium was allowed to re turn home as an arrested case, would there be tubercle germs pres ent which could be transmitted by her husband kissing her and then kissing his cousin? M.M. A Unless the tuberculosis lesion had broken down, and she was eliminating the germs of tubercu losis In her sputum, she would not transmit the infection to anyone else. Any person who has had tu berculosis should be checked at fairly frequent intervals, however, to make certain that the disease remains in an arrested and non contagious stage. Q When syphilis has been pres ent for six or eight years. Is It possiDie to cure it? T.W. A Doctors are usually reluctant to use the word, "cure" In this kind of situation, in most instances. however, syphilis, even of this dur- Ml. Alpha. Mt. Omega, and ML Tantalus. Why the two aside from Tantalus should be named "the be ginning and the end" I never dis covered: but. Omega was the one that caught our eye. standing as it does like a miniature Mnt tcrhorn. Its call was irresistible 'There is nothing up there" said the natives, but nevertheless we had to go and see for ourselves. It took a couple of Sundays to discover how we could cross the wide and muddy Squamish, which for color and consistency should be a good rival of the Missouri. Then finally when we found a way across the river on a stream gauger's cable car we bad lo blaze a trail through the Jungles to reach the tallus slides at the foot of the mountain. Alter exper iencing the passage of the almost impenetrable tangles that frame these Canadian streams we have often said that a tropical jungle could not be much worse, for here. you are not only confronted with brush and brambles, but Devil's Club as well. If you have never met with Devil's Club you have an experience to look forward to it is a most peculiar shiub of the Ginsing family, with slender Iiex- lble stems closely armored along with their entire length with sharp. stiff needles that are capable of producing painful wounds. Such painful, difficult thickets appeil even to the Indians whose folk tales record how the fleeing hero. throws behind him some prickly object, which, by his magic, be comes changed into an impassible tangle of Devil's Club in which the enemy becomes tangled and torn. After passing the Devils Cluo thickets, then up the mountains great tallus slope to the snow ileitis and finding one canyon that ap peared to run to the top we trudged our way on up the steep slopes of snow. We imagined our selves in the Alps climbing the Matterhorn for we were up in the clouds and filmy whisps of fog would drift In and around us as we made our way upward. Finally my companion excitedly exclaimed "What's that!" Only a hundred feet above us on a rocky ledge was a huge grey shape in the fog. We stood and watched, not know ing what it could be. the fog swirled away, the odd shaggy form raised its head and looked down at us, his chin whLskers reached his knees, his black horns glistened in the sun, he eyed us quizzically decided we were a couple of harm less nuts, then went back uncon cernedly to eating the delicious morsel he had been dining on Dev il's Club. ation, can be treated so successfully that it will not produce further symptoms or complications. Q Can a woman have sex rela tions after having uterus, tubes and ovaries removed? Is this called a complete hysterectomy? What Is a pan-hysterectomy? Reader. A This operation should not In terfere with normal sex relations. The operation described may be called either a pan-hysterectomy or a complete hysterectomy. Q About a year and a half ago I had calcium around the bone in my shoulder. This was treated with X-ray, but I Just missed having to have an operation. It seems worse to me when I raise my arm. Could this develop Into cancer of the bone? Mrs. B. A This sounds like a bad case of bursitis with calcium deposits. J?ee iatfi . .

TO 9 P.M. wjH jjjfiw y Shopping Convenience jTTl I y ' uii iiLiiimiviw By Jimmy Hatlo Results Of Barley Test Revealed Tests completed by the Tule lnke Fnrm Adviser's office In co operation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Malting Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, and the Aftrnnomy Department of the Uni versity of California, have obtained information on the malting quality of Tulclake barley which is of con siderable importance to mowers. These tests have shown that the excessive use of nitrogen fertiliz er has increased the barley pro tein In most fields, but this is de pendent to some extent on the ori ginal fertility of the soil, available moisture supply, time and extent of lodging, all of which are factors which may influence the barley malting quality, according to farm adviser. Ken Baghotl. The reports on this years barley have shown that excellent quality can be maintained in the Tulclake barley provided growers closely watch Irrigation, fertilization and harvesting. Of the 210 fields sampled this year, the large majority of fields produced barley of quality which is In good demand by Eastern malt sters. Although a lew samples snows excessively high barley pro tein readings and low extract per centnge, the majority of the fields had less than 13 per cent barley protein and from 78 to 82 per cent extract. This Li considered fttcal barley for malting purposes, Bag hotl staled Of particular Interest was the difference shown In barley protein and extract on fields where pota toes hove been grown In 1953 and were planted to barley In 1963. Ap parently a large carryover ol nitro gen fertilizer from the previous po tuto planting Increased the bar ley protein and tlicrcby caused a lower barley extract percentage. The Ideal Hannchen Barley for malting purposes should have a protein value of less than 12.5 per cent and an extract percentage ol from 79 to 80 per cent. The analysts represents a total of 6fl samples taken from different fields through out the Tulelnke Basin. Oregon GOP May Answer Morse PORTLAND W - The Republi can Party may ask 19 Oregon radio stations lor weekly time to balance talks given by Sen. Wayne Morse, Ed G. Boehnke of Eugene, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, said Friday. Boehnke said the Morse program was announced as "a public serv ice" and so he assumed it was free time for what wos "clearly a political broadcast." He said a study would be. made and he believed It quite certain the Republicans would ask equal time. If this Is the correct diagnosis there is no reason to believe that It would lead to cancer of the bone. Q Will you please explain what Is meant by "acute gangrenous gallbladder"? I lost a dear friend, 81 years old, from this condition. .Mrs. V. A This presumably refers to an acute inflammation of the gallblad der, associated with death of the tissue itself. The only chance for recovery would have been on Im mediate operation, which, of course carries considerable, risk at suoli an age. r.,.rJ;r ctcvl recHmriiuHj it mum a 4321 James Marlow WASHINQTON W For five memorable days In mld-Muivh Han. McCarthy's flglrl with the Army held at white heat, Then It visibly cooled while his Senate committee looked for an oulslde lawyer to Investigate the case. For lark of developments, the McCarthy story gradually disap peared front the front pages. The Wisconsin Republican himself be gun to call it "a tempest in a teapot.'' Ben. Muiult IR-SU), who says he considers McCarthy ono of his best friends, talked as though he sought to minimise Its imporliuice (no. Mundt, acting as chairman In Ma Canity's place for this investiga tion, led the search lor the lawyer. Ho must be, ks-1 Mundt, a man "as fatrmlndcd as an eminent Judge." Mundt first tiled the president of the American Bar Assn., who turned It down. Yesterday the committee decided it had found the man: Samuel Powers Bears of Boston, a GB-ycni-old Republican trial law yer who collects gold toothpicks as a hobby and was three times presi dent of the Massachusetts Bar Assn. The committee talked 49 mlnutrs with Hears and then picked him unanimously. Sears said he could act "dispas sionately." - Soon it appeared Dint at least some of the committee members want to ask hint some more ques tions. It wasn't long before they found they hadn't learned all that! was known on where Sears stood, or had stood, on McCarthy. When newsmen asked Sears, long an outspoken foe of communism. If he had evor taken a stand on McCarthy or "McCarthylsm." he said he never had, publicly or pri vately. Mundt and other commit tee members said they had asked Uie same question and received the same answer, Shortly afterwards news came from Boston by way of news paper files and the Harvard Crlm son, university undergraduate dally that Soars had spoken out publicly more than once in favor of McCarthy, but not later than two years ago. He was quoted as saying Mc Carthy "has done a great Job" and the loss of McCarthy to uie Senate (in the 1953 elections) would be a "blow to the United Slates." Harvard Prof. Mark Howe, who had opposed McCarthy's re elec tion, called sears' appointment yes terday "Incredible." He said he had debated with Sears and that the latter "was willing to excuse any McCarthy tactic." Two members of .the committee Senators Potter (R-Mlchi and Jackson (D-Washi said they will ask Sears to look back on his past statements and say If he still feels he can do an "Impartial" job. Two other senators Mundt and McClcllan (D-Arkl said they doubled anything said two years ago could be taken as Indicating prejudice in McCarthy's present fight with Army officials. The Democratic members the third was Sen. Symington (D-Mol said they were unaware of some thing else about Sears: that 10 days ago he expressed to Sen Sallonstall (R-Mass) and Rep. Cur tis (R-Mass) an "interest" In the Job. The McCarthy-Army row re volves around O. David Schlne. an unpaid worker on McCarthy's staff until he was drafted. An Army report alleged that Mc Carthy and his chief counsel. Roy Conn, tried through pressure on the Army to get special treatment for Schlne. McCarthy and Conn disputed this, and in turn charged Army officials had tried to "blackmail" them Into ceasing their investiga tion of Its handling of subversive suspects. This charge, too, was de nied. When McCarthy's committee de cided March It to Investigate the whole dispute, tension seemed to ease, news grew scarcer and Mc Carthy began talking as If It was all Just a dispute between two oth er guys. "This blowup between Conn and Adams," he said, John Adams, Army counsel, was In Ihc midst of the quarrel over Schlne. Mundt echoed McCarthy, he said he was at a lass to understand the "feverish Interest" in the case. Although there were charges of blackmail and Intimidation, nobody yielded to them, Mundt said. "Involved here at worst," he added, "are misconduct and mis representation by one or more in dividuals connected with the Army or the Senato committee or both."
