" 1 11 - I - r In yesterday's column we had a chance to compare the narrative of Colonel Thompson with Ban croft, giving two dilfcrent ver- sions of Captain Jackson's attack upon Captain Jack's Lost River Camp on the morning of Novem ber 29, isli. Thompson is In er ror In having-"Black Jim" lead ing the raiding party against th: settlers-, on this particular point there Is a question of leadership between two of Jack's warriors, Curley-beaded Doctor and- Hook er Jim Black Jim was with Cap tain Jack on the side ot the river away from the settlers who were massacred. Donald McLeod was the only , settler close to Captain Jack's camp on this side of the - river. - , Thompson was "correct In the number of Indians killed in Cap tain Jack s camp "one," the In dian called "Watchman" and who Thompson Identifies as a Colum bia. Bancroft however, has 'the troops "mowing down fifteen In dians" with casualties to the troops of "one calvaryman killed and seven wounded." To continue the battle as Ban croft has written: "Up to the time that firing commenced. Jack had remained silent and sullen in his tent, refusing to take any part In the proceedings, but on the open ing of hostilities be came forth and lead the retreat of his people, now numbering twice as many as on the visit of Brown and Applegate. In this retreat the women and chil dren were left behind. It is now that the rashness of Colonel Green became apparent. Jackson's . force, already too light, was les sened by the loss of eight men, whom he dared not leave in camp lest the Indian women should , murder and mutilate them, and he was therefore unable to pursue. Leaving a light skirmish line with Boutelle, be was forced to employ the remainder of the troops in con veying the wounded and dead to the east side of the river in - canoes, and thence half a mile to the cabin of . Dennis Crawley, after which he returned and de stroyed the Indian camp." In this account by Bancroft we recognise the same story that ' Is given by Colonel Thompson. Ban- Thompson who condems Jackson for letting the women and children get away and not holding them as hostages to insure the surren der of Captain Jack and his lead ers. Bancroft makes no mention of the Indian horses or any argu ment on the part of Ivan Apple gate against letting the women and children free to Join the rest of the band who had escaped. Bancroft attempts to find justifi JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON U) Joseph N. Welch, 64-year-old special counsel for the Army, walked out of the Army-McCarthy hearing and wept. He had just found he was playing in a league too rough for him. He had been a Boston trial law yer 35 years. But even experience . like that, it seemed now, had not prepared him for a Senate hearing like this or an encounter with Ben, McCarthy. Only a moment before he had provided the emotional high mo ment of the bearing with a denun ciation of McCarthy in a voice so choked he . seemed like a man speaking through tears. He held the tears until be got outside the room. McCarthy had Just attacked him and a young lawyer, Frederick O. Fisber, wbo works for Welch's ftrm. The audience in the hearing room gave Welch unrestrained ap plause. What the television audi- epee thought is unknown. That was the emotional side ot what happened. But looked at cold ly, as an experienced trial lawyer like Welch himself might look at it If someone else had been sitting in his place, what was the prac tical side of this memorable mo irwnt? , The people who like McCarthy will probably remain undisturbed by Welch's grief and go on liking the senator. The people who dis like him will probably dislike him even more; There was a central question which may have been obscured under the emotion: Did McCarthy have a purpose In his attack on Welch and Fisber? And did Welch fall for it? Welch was cross-examining Roy M. Conn, chief counsel of McCar thy's staff. Time and again In the past, when , Welch was pressing Cohn hard, McCarthy bad come in to tackle . Welch. Each time it happened McCar- tny diverted Welch's attention from Cohn, It was something Welch seldom did to McCarthy when the senator for days grilled Secretary of the Army Stevens al though It he had, it would have given Stevens a rest. It's a matter of opinion whether Welch was making much progress yesterday afternoon when he was digging into Cohn. But suddenly McCarthy moved In. Welch at once became so emotionally tangled with McCarthy he seemed to lose all thought of Cohn. . . n And when he had finished de nouncing McCarthy he said he would not ask Cohn any more questions, that the Senate commit tee could call the next witness. cation for Jackson, while Thomp sen censures him for tactical blun der. 1 Bancroft then turns to the other side of the river where another incident was being enacted, he writes: "In the meantime a cltl sens company, consisting of O. C. Applegate, James Brown, J. Burnett. D. Crawley, E. Monore, Caldwell, and Thurber, who had gathered at Crawley's to await the result of the attempted arrest, at tacked a smaller camp on the east side, and lost one man, Thurber. They retired to the farnf and kept up firing at long range to pre vent the Indians crossing the river and attacking. Jackson s command on the flank and rear. While this was going on, two men fled wound ed to Crawley , one of whom, William Nus, soon died." This gives us a different version from Thompson of the tw osettlers who Were killed by the Indians Bancroft then goes on to state: "At this intimation (the shooting of Nus) that the settlers below were uninformed of their danger. Ivan Applegate, Brown, Burnett, and other citizens went in various directions to warn them, leaving but a small force at Crawley's to guard the wounded. During their absence, Jackson was called upon to protect this plac; from the hos tilities of Booker Jim and Curley- headed Doctor, two of Jack's head men not before mentioned." Now comes an interesting state ment on the part of Bancroft As there was no lora nearer tnan eight miles, the troops spent two or three hours Retting to craw- ley's, where they encamped, and beheld in the distance the smoke of burning bay-ricks." It might be somewhat contusing to the reader that Bancroft would state that there was "no ford near er than eight miles" when it has been stated that Captain Jack's Camn was located at the site of the old emigrant crossing, the ford used by the emigrants in 1843 and later, and which, was called the Old Stone Bridge. The other lora eight miles further up the river was later called "Btukei rora." Why the soldiers did not cross at the site of the "Old stone Brioge - is explained by the fact that the water at that point was too deep to ford and could only be crossed by canoe. Tne emigrants passea wrougn the Klamath Basin in the years following 1843 at which time the area was passing through drought of the present century Tule Lake was at a very low level at that time: by 1872, however. the lake had risen until the water at the Old Stone Bridge was too deep to ford. This was McCarthy. Welch had not drawn any start ling disclosures from Cohn. But so long as he had him pinned in the witness chair, there was always the chance be might touch a soft spot. If McCarthy's attack was In tended to get Welch off Conn's back, he succeeded. McCarthy himself is an expert nana at keeping a witness pinned to the chair. He did this to Stevens and to Army Counselor John O, Aaams for days. His pressure paia oil. Adams disclosed for the first time high officials in the Eisen hower administration had advised the Army In Its dealings with Mc Carthy. McCarthy made quick capital or h ana kept trie hearings attention focused on this episode lor a week, - The McCarthy attack went this way: he accused Welch of trying to "foist" off on the Senate sub committee conducting the besruus a former member of the National Lawyers Guild Fisher. - Welch said he did not find out until alter he brought Fisher down here to help him in this case that that young man had been a mem ber of the guild at Harvard Law School and a few months there after. Then, Welch said, he. sent Fisher back to Boston so this mat ter would not get dragged into ine nearing. The Lawyers Guild has denied cnarges it s a communist front, first officially made by the House Un-American Activities Committee In September 1950. Welch's firm has said Fisher resigned from the guua in eany 1990. QUICKIES By Ken Reynold- . . aslnr trained moths Is clever stunt but Herald News Want Ads would get that dry cleaner more business!" 1 Hal Boyle . GRAFENWOEHR, Germany Ul . From the deserts ot Tunisia to the beaches of Normandy, Field Marshal Rommel's battle plans were upset by "The Big Red One" the U.S. 1st Infantry Division. It balked his breakout blow at Kasserine Gap, then helped crush and capture his famed - Afrika Korps. It was in the forefront of the forces that ten years ago land ed and breached his western wall defenses. If the ghost of the brilliant! "Desert Fox" could come back this way once more, he would find 1 reason tor a dry smile over the antics time plays with the dreams 1 of corporals and field marshals. 1 For here on the great sprawling German military reservation , where Rommel himself once train- ed his feared panier legions, his old foe "The Big Red" is prac ticing the new arts of possible new wars to come. On rolling Bavarian bills only 15 miles from the Czech border. the OA Infantry division is going through Intensive maneuvers over the same ground they would have to de'end if the Communists ever unleash their forces. This week a battalion of the 16th Infantry Regiment, partly manned by some of the veterans who stormed across Omaha Beach, took two hills in a test attack hills Rommel must have known almost as well as the face he shaved. It would have been nice to have had Rommel's opinion of the op eration a skillfully coordinated attack employing every element from doughboy and tank to mod ern jet aircraft. But it more than impressed a group of 43 former war corres- nondents flown here by Fan Amer ican Airways for a tour of old battle scenes.' It was so realistic that at one point, when a quad ruple mount of 5o caliber machine guns began clipping tree branches on the road a few yards before them, several began moving ner vously toward the nearest ditches. The only foulup In the maneuver came in the field of air support. Eight swift Sabrejets swooped down to knock out a strong point with napalm and 300 pound bombs. They hit the target exactly, but about halt the bombs were duds and none of the napalm containers flamed after hitting the ground. Some of the ground soldiers, know ing the nearest Czech Jet airbase is only about three minutes fly ing time away, snickered aloud. The air liaison officer looked un happy. A naval admiral standing by looked cheerful. "Who would you really rather have supporting you the Air Force or the Navy?" a corres pondent asked an Infantry colonel who was explaining the operation. "Well, I guess we really would prefer the U. 8. Marines," said the colonel, grinning. Commenting on the superior lire power of the modern army over any of the past, Brig, Gen. John Elmore, acting commander of the division, emphasized the penetra ting power of the new Belgian- made Energa rule grenade. "It will go through 11 Inches of armor at more than 100 yards," he said. "That means a dough boy In his foxhole can knock out sny tank now known to be in ex istence." Gen. Elmore said his biggest problem Is the turnover of trained men. His division 01 approximate ly 17,000 men had to train more than 11.300 new men In 1953, will have the same problem with 1,000 more this year. But the spirit of the division and spirit Is as strong as any human lorce we know is high as ever, because these men have confidence In each other. 'The men think they are ready for anything. So do I.

An 'excellent example of what one should not do Is brought out in today's first inquiry. Q I am a housewife and lately have broken out with ringworm. My back and arms are completely covered. For the past two months I have tried several different med icines without result. Could this be caused by certain foods or perhaps nervousness? Reader. A Ringworm or dermalopby- tosis Is a particular kind of skin disease caused by a fungus. Al though It Is true that it may attack different parts of the skin and take on different appearances, this cer tainly does not sound like ring worm but much more like some other kind of skin disease. In any event, the correspondent should stop at once trying to dlag nose or treat herself, since this may lead to wholly unnecessary complications. An Immediate visit to a skin specialist for diagnosis and more accurate advice on treat ment is indicated. Q I have read that the late Dr. Kurt Schumacher the famous German politician) had lost his rignt leg as a result of phleboth rombosts brought on through Nazi barbarism In making him stand on his feet tor long periods of time. Is this a common cause of phle bothrombosls? P. M. A phlebothrombosls or throm bophlebitis Is a condition In which the veins, usually in the leg, be come inflamed and develop clots. In some older people, and In those whose veins are not in too healthy a state, prolonged standing is cer tainly not desirable and may per haps cause, and almost certainly make worse it already present, a condition ot this sort in the leg veins. Q My brother, who Is three years older, and I are both victims of contraction of the tendons of our fingers. I have been informed this affects males, being transmit ted from the maternal parent. Would you please discuss this? W. T. O.

In some cases It does seem to be tied to heredity as the Inquirer suggests, though the cause Is large ly unknown. In the earliest cases nonoperative treatment is often ad vised, but for others the only elec tive method Is surgery, and this is a rather formidable procedure. Q When I was four months pregnant I was In an automobile accident and fortunately was not seriously hurt. I am worried Is It likely that the baby was In jured? Mrs. S. A No one can say for aure. but It Is not likely. Certainly you will not help the situation by wor rying. Chances are that everything will turn out all right.
