Palmer could be as true in his
' appraisal of facts in 1856 as one
who criticises affairs of govern

the treasury of the United States,
"a legitimate subject of plunder,"
but we have learned the gentle art
of how to do it as witnessed by
our present national debt.
' Some treaties with the Indians
were consumated by glib politicians
who sought to convince the Indian
chiefs that they would be better off

free existence In their traditional
homeland. The government repre

lsne. the literary gore-shedder, Is
feeling the gentle touch of time.
At 36 the Brooklyn-bom author
is mellowing himself, and feels
the public also Is so weary of the
post-war cycle of violence that he
is considering making Mike Ham
mer, his famous mythical private
detective, turn In his brass knucks

Back in 1946 In "I. The Jury."
Mike startled and fascinated the
world of mice-men by drilling an
amorous blonde through the stom
ach and telling her "It was easy."
Sherlock Holmes would have
dismissed Mike Hammer as a das
tard and a cad, but the public
went crasy over a guy who could
win s verdict over s blonde, even
with a gun. SpUlane says the sev

dryly remarked Spillane, a stocky
former war filer.
. "I have another book ready to
go called, "Tonight I Die,' and I
feel it will be the last one about
Mike.
"You have to change. You have
to go with the market. I've used
hatred as s motivstlon up to now.
But we're over the war. Hate and
violence are worn thin. People
want books now built around sub
tle moods and character."
Mickey hinted he had another
reason that he was weary of
taking the personal risks of more
underworld researches for Mike's
exploits.
"Fifty per cent of the situations
I write about are true." he said.
"But you can get clobbered once
too often getting your background
material.
"From now on I think I'll write
nothing but fiction."

eagerly awaited by astronomers
and others in many lands.
' Most all of the United States and

Seattle will Just miss it, but a
little east of there the final stages
can be observed. The eclipse will

from Vancouver. B.C., down across
the country to Brownsville, Texas.
To the east of this, the eclipse will
be an event of sunrise or shortly
thereafter.
In the United States the path of
totality will be approximately 70
miles wide. Its center will start
near O'Neill, Nebraska, and run In
a northeasterly direction through
Tyndail and Sioux Falls, South

Minnesota; and Copper Harbor,

This entire belt of darkness will

it will last at the longest only a

Over a dinner of steak and beer
(contrary to reports, Spillane does
not sip plasma through a straw),
Mickey discussed the way Holly,
wood murders plots.
"I like Hollywood," he said
"but- I don't think much of some.:
of the Hollywood writers. Put them
In front of a typewriter and
they're helpless. They have to
drool Into a microphone.
"If you give them a good story,
all they keep is the title. They
don't know what to do with a good
story.. They have to try to make
It an epic.
"When I have a story to write,
I sit down and write It.' I wrote
"I, The Jury' for M.OOO In 19 days
while I was living in a tent. I
never took more than three weeks
to write a book In my life. I can
write 10.000 words in a day."
Mickey, who dwells in a black
aad-whlte world where a guy Is
either your pal or probably a bum.
clings to his old friends, has a
morbid fear success might go to
bis crew-cut head.
"I don't like people who get
famous and something happens to
their minds," he said. "That
doesn't happen to the good ones."
He and his wife. "Baby." live
in a house they built themselves
on a 28-acre estate "oi grass and
weeds" near Newburgh. They have
two small children and a dog.
Mickey, who yearns to be an
acrobat, spends his days now prac
ticing back flips in his front yard.
If he doesn't break his neck, he
plans a brief tour this summer
with a circus.
His other hobbies are collecting
classical records- "I can't stand
Jive" and stock .motor car rac
ing. ;'--'- v I
"I've got six cars cars are
good for you," he said earnestly.
"They keep you out of trouble."
His favorite Is a geared up 1861
stock model tn which he can keep
out of trouble at 150 miles an
hour.
Sometimes Spillane's father, a
former bartender, comes over to
shake his head at his son's antics.
"He can't understand," said
Mickey, "why I don't go out and
get a steady job like other mep."

eclipse data to determine more
accurately than ever before the
distance between the United States
and Europe. In these days of guided
missiles It is necessary to have
distances down to fine points.
It is well known that solar
eclipses are caused by the pass
age of the moon between us and
the sun. 81nce the moon gets its
light from the solar source, the

dark. When the relatively near

The era of Uio' specialist has in
some nibmier changed the lives of
everybody. Its effect is rcllected
In prucllcitlly everything with
which people come Into contact.
It has even Speeded up nulurf.
This Is as true of communication
as it Is oi medicine, science and
transportation. The newspaper is a
notable example, which only an
old practitioner can appreciate. So
how cm the populace realise what
has happened to its daily readuig
in a single generation?
It is hard to believe how re
cently the newspaper was the only
means of mass communication,
and the fastest. It took centuries
to advance from the signal fire to
the telegraph. Now a year can out
mode the newest communication
gadget.
Today any housewife with a 113
radio Is days and weeks esrller
abreast of world news than were
Greeley. Bennett and Dana; and
hours ahead of editors still living.
Anns In the kitchen gets news
quicker than I got it at the tele
graph desk 40 years ago. So. why
has the newspaper survived?
The answer proved as great t
surprise to newsmen as to their
readers, who supplied It, The im
pact of the news, the surprise ele
ment in it, the "scoop." never
couid have been the genuine ex
cuse for or the main function of
the newspaper; else It could not
have survived.
For In the face of the dramatic
communication progress that
threatened to destroy It. the news
paper has grown amaslngly In de
mand and acceptance: Increased
30 per cent in circulation.
To its own amazement the news
paper discovered that, to be "flrst
est" wai less Important than to be
"mostesl": that all of the time
It had been the so-called second
ary "followup" of the news that
was the real life blood of the news
paper. The newsroom has not forsaken
the "scoop," but It has deserted
it as an Idol, moved It Into recond
place. The specialists and analy
slsts have taken over.
The reading public has estab
lished that thoroughness, verifica
tion and Interpretation constitute
the "scoop" that counts. Newspa
pers lived on that very diet and
didn't know It. Back when the
"scoop" was king, the followup
was creating the solid foundation
upon which today's newspaper
flourishes.
To be surprised or astounded
turns out to have been the "loss
leader"; comprehensiveness, the
real package.
It, develops that "why" sells
more newspapers than "what,
when, where", and always has.
It had never seemed Important to
analyre.,for example, why sports
fans pore over news reports of
events they attended: a ball game
or a fight which they witnessed.
Why buy a paper: they -saw It
all with their own eyes, who can
tell them more?
Sure, they saw, but did they see
right; do they Temember correct
ly? Was that a hit or an error,
was that a low blow In the fourth
round: what do the trained experts
say about It?
They are uncertain about some
thing they saw or they want the
inside dope on their favorite sport.
They can't get this from screens
or ringside. So theyread It, per
hans preserve It.
They know the result, but they
want the why of It. as do readers
who already know what happened
in As s. Washington and Timouxui.
It is the everlasting desire of
people to be thorough about things
that Interest them not Just that
they happened. It is true or all
phases of the news.
That Is why radio and television
sell newspapers. They are the news

The Doctor Says
nr KDWIN P, JORDAN, M, D.
Every year a good many people
roam the fields and woods collect
ing mushrooms which they cook
and eat,
Tht is a dangerous practice as
there Is no way to dl.Hlugulah be
tween the edible mushrooms and
the several poisonous kinds. Even
experts often have difficulties.
The superstition thst a silver
roln will become tamWted from
the nolsonous varieties If It Is put
In the dish In which mushrooms
are being cooked Is whollv false.
Alro the taste la not reliable, at
molt of the poisonous species ar
supposed to have ait agreeable fla
vor. In the United Slates tnotl cases
of poisontng are caused by mush
rooms of the anianlta famllv. the
best known variety of which Is
sometimes called the "death
snel."
The poison from the "death an
gel," or amanlla phalloldes, la tech
nically known as a toxin. About alx
to eighteen hours after eating thla
dangerous mushroom the symp
toms begin to apnear. They Usually
consist of nausea, vomiting, diar
rhea and bevere abdominal pains.
There may be great thirst, inability
to urinate, dlulness, Jaundice af
ter two or three days, and uncoil
ictousners. More than half of lho.e who are
stricken usually die. this generally
occurrlns five to eight days alter
eating the mushrooms.
There is no good treatment for
mushroom poisoning of this kind,
although If the stomach can be
washed out early most of the toxin
is removed and the chances of re
covery are better.
Another type of poisonous mush
room Is called anianlta muscarla.
or the "fly amanlla."
Here the poison is of a differ
ert type and Is related to a drug
cummanly used In medicine, called
pilocarpine.
In this type the symptoms ap
pear early, usually within three
houra of eating the mushrooms,
and when death occurs II Is usually
within twenty-four hours.
In addition to the symptoms of
vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal
pain, there is also sweating, tear
ing of the eyes, narrowing of the
pupils of the eyes, slow pulse and
in fatal cases, convulsions and un
consciousness. This variety. If Identllie'. early
enough, can be efficiently treated
with atropine. In such properly
treated cases about one In ten suc
cumbs. It seems quite unnecessary to
pick mushrooms In the woods and
run this great risk when safe ones
can be so easily bought.
Even experts have been caught
by failure to tell whether certain
mushrooms were one of the edible
varieties or were poisonous.
The safe thing to do Is to eat
only those mushrooms which have
been passed by competent or offi
cial Inspection.
