ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
The perennial drive by a small
group of stockmen to g a I n a
vested hold on grazing lands with
in the National Forests has taken
its latest step forward in the pass
ing by the United Stales Senate,
without one dissenting vote, the
latest Crazing Bill called the Hope-Thye-Atken
measure.
It has now become plain by the
statements of Senator Walker of
Idaho that this forest grazing bill
is merely but a step in a process
by which a relatively few western
ranchers hope to gain virtual con
trol of the western national for
ests for their own benefit.
These are the forests which be
long to all the 160 million people of
the country the forests which
firotect the headwaters to all the
mportant western rivers the
forests which are annually used by
millions of Americans for recrea
tional purposes. For the protection
of streams, If for no reason, these
forests are so important that it be
comes good logic when considered
upon the national level that the
protection of watersheds vitnl to
the nation as a whole should be
kept in public ownership under the
assured supervision of experts in
forest management.
In administering the forests, the
U.S. forest service has been con
siderate of western ranchers
perhaps too considerate. It has
granted 17,000 ranchers special
privileges to graze cattle, sheep
and horses on the forest at low
bargain rates.
Those who have grazing permits
are in a favored position as com
pared with the majority of ranch
ers, who must own and pay taxes
on all the land upon which they
allow their animals to run. Ordi
narily, the forest service has ex
tended grazing privileges to the
same ranchers year alter year. In
many Instances those privileges
have been in the same family lor
30 years.
Some ot the permit holders have
come to look upon the grazing priv
ileges not as privileges but as
property rights which belong or
should belong to them In per
petuity to be used or sold by
them as they may see fit.
As the feeling of ownership has
become stronger over the years,
permit holders have sometimes
grown resentful when the forest
service has sought to exercise Its
duties of managing the forests in
the public interest. As a result,
permit holders, who are a privi
leged few as compared with the
total number of stockmen, have
been trying for years to" weaken
the management authority of the
forest service. Their latest hope Is
this Hope-Thyc-Alken bill which

NEW YORK Wl What Is the
real reason people snore?
A British doctor recently ad
vanced the theory that the snoring
of husbands was a sign of affec
tion for their wives.
He said it mlRht be a race mem
try relic of the caveman who
"made the noise at night to keep
marauders away from the den."
Thus tile husband now vflio
keeps his wile wide-eyed awake
with his grunts, whistles, groans
and snorts may really be trying
to protect the dear girl by un
consciously warning away robbers
or would-be rivals.
This theory Ir as full of holes
as a sweater hung In a closet full
of moths, and the doctor who ad
vanced it must be an amateur
student of snoring. No wife I have
discussed his Idea with hns any
laitn with it whatsoever.
Everyone who hns heard an el
derly hound dog snoring before a
fireplace is sure that his eager
whines and subdued barks Indi
cate he is living over old hnppy
hunting days in his dreams. One
wife I talked to is sure that this
holds equally true of her husband.
"Don't tell me that bum s snor
ing means he Is trying to gUBrd
me and our home," she said. "If
that is what he were trying to do.
he'd be scowling and growling In
his sleep.
"But all he does Is wheeze and
. gurgle as If he were out ol brcntli
and when I turn on the light
he has a pleased look on his face.
You know what I think that
proves? The old fool Is dreaming
about chasing some pretty blonde,
and H makes me so mad I get
up and pour cold water on his
face. Sometimes he looks so hap
py while he's snoring It Is all 1
' can do to keep from slapping
him."
As I know this lady's husband.
I feel there may be some truth
in what she says. In the oflice
where he is employed the girls
call him "Old Colri Paws" and
"Harry, the False-Toolhed Wolf."
But what about women? The
snoring of wives is becoming a
real problem in many households
today. Does this merely mark an
other ntep in woman's drive for
equal rights a subconscious as
sertion of the principle that if the
! man of the house can snore, she'll
snow mm she can, loo

the Senate has now passed.
The Hope-Thye-Aiken bill Is a
clever one, drawn so adroitly that
it has fooled even some of the
people who normally are Interested
In forest preservation. The bill
which passed the Senate had little
resemblance to the original bill
proposed by the stockmen. As It
now stands It would have the ap
pearance of facilitating the admin
istration of the National Forests
from the standpoint of multiple use.
It Is certainly true that the Im
portance of the public lands and
their relationship to every other
Interest warrants that multi
ple uses be given very careful con
sideration. At the present time
only two sections deal specifically
with grazing. One of the sections
dealing with grazing authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to en
courage ranchers and grazers to
construct Improvements on the
lands they are permitted to use
and also provide compensation in
case the rancher should loose land
use privileges.
The advisability of such a meas
ure is debatable If there was no
maturlzatlon of such Improve
ments but the maturlzatlon period
cannot exceed twenty years. This
was evidently intended to prohibit
the user of the public land from
gaining a vested interest or rights
to the land he Improves, however,
the forest service might just as
well enter into a series of twenty
year leases which the device actu
ally becomes.
The strategy on the part of the
stockmen has been to pass a plau
sible appearing bill, this was in
dicated during the hearing on the
bill held In Salt Lake City by Sena
tor Aiken when a spokesman for
the livestock Interests stated: "The
bill, although It did not suit the
livestock people, was a step In the
right direction." The direction, of
course was to have a bill passed
which could be amended until it
would take the same course the
livestock Interests worked on the
original Taylor Grazing bill.
Senator Herman Welker of Idaho
is now starting on Just such a
course of procedure. He has stated
that he would ask for the elimina
tion of the provision that sets up
a court of review on the record in
the case of appeals, lie wants the
Inw to provide for a trial du noble.
In other words, a complete new
trial in the case. He also wants the
law amended to make subject to
court action the grazing schedule
of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Those who were gullible and be
lieved In the . sincerity of those
who were oretending thev were
writing a bill for the benefit of all
are now shocked by Welker's rev
elation.
BOYLE
wives indicate that In our present
world of mice-men a lady feels
even in her sleep she must snarl
and growl to protest from danger
the weak, helpless male she calls
her own? That would hold true
if the British doctor's theory is
correct, for what's sauce for the
gander Is sauce for the goose.
Naturally I would hesitate even
to suggest that a snoring wile
might be dreaming of walking
down a moonlit path with the tall,
dark, handsome bachelor next
door or re-llving a canoe ride
with some old high school beau.
Husbands I have discussed this
with gallnntly rejected such a pos
siblllty. They were sure their
wives were faithful to them even
in Ihelr girlish dreams.
"Snoring is Just a form of self
expression with wives, as I see
it," said one. "They are unable to
maKe tneir husbands listen to

women never give up, so all a
wile's snoring means Is that she

day. or giving him his advance
orders for the next day. And when
a man snores back at his wife he
is probably just telling her all the
things he didn't dare open his
mouth about before he went to
bed.
' When both husband and wife
snore It's likely to be a happy
family as each of them gets off his
chest In their sleep whatever they
had on their mind when they were
awake."
Tile other husbands agreed this
was the best possible explanation
of snoring.

NEW YORK People are go
ing right on saving, 11 says here in
the statistics put out by the gov
ernment, the bankers and the life
Insurance people.
It's hard for a lot of people to
believe that anyone can save In
these days of . the high cost of
living, of big baby crops and lar
ger families, of high taxes, of a
business slowdown and lower take
home pay for many.
But figures released this week
show that by and large Americans
are putting as much or more away
this year than last and that total
savings continue to rise. It's going
into U.S. Savings Bonds, into life
insurance, bank deposits. Totals for
1 all of them are rising.
And merchants will tell you
some of them rather sadly that
many consumers are putting a re
verse English on saving too.
They are paying up their install
ment debts faster thsn they are
taking on new debt by buying gad
gets on time. Getting out of debt is
one form of saving. Mechants
think this can be carried too far.
There are other forms of saving
which a man may not realize he's
making.
"I can't save anything." a man
will tell you. "After I've made
the life insurance payment, paid
the monthly installment on the
mortgage on my house, put money I
each month in that fund that the
wife Insists we have against the
time Junior goes to college, why,
I have a hard time finding enough
to meet the payment on the car
and the freezer."
But life insurance Is a form of
saving, a way of building an es
tate. A home of your own is a
form of saving.
The U.S. Treasury reports that
In the first half of this year of
supposed .recession it sold 13 per
cent more in E and H Savings
Bonds than in the same period of
booming 1953, and. In fact, set an
eight-year sales record. And sales
are exceeding cash-ins.
Deposits In the savings banks of
New York state alone Increased
393 million dollars In the first half
of this year.
The Institute of Life Insurance
reports record purchases of new
life Insurance policies in the first
six months of this year for a gain
of 18' billion dollars. The total of
such Insurance Is now estimated at
319 billion dollars for the nation as
a whole.
Accident and health Insurance
purchases are also running much
higher than a year ago.
All of this is being done, curious
ly enough, on a lower total of per
sonal income, according to the
Department of Commerce. It finds
that in May. its latest figure, per
sona income totaled about one bil
lion dollars less, on an annual rate,
than in May a year ago.

11 you're not already a top ex
ecutive and you want to be, or you
want your son to be, you'll be In
terested in the results of a study
made of 33 high-ranking business
men in Chicago. They tend to over
turn some cherished notions.
The old Idea that business leaders
generally rise from humble begin
nings isn't borne out by a check of
these executives' backgrounds. The
psychologist who Interviewed the
men found many had solid, upper
middle-class upbringing, with hap
py family relations.
The study, by Dr. Robert M.
Waid, also Indicated that for the
most part it's better to be raised
big ciiy than on tire farm
or in a small town. If you seek
the top. Exceptions, of course.
As for the personality traits and
habits, a number of things stood
out:
Almost without exception, these
successful men were completely
wrapped up In their Jobs and their
organizations. They got most pleas
ure from work.
They were highly skilled in get
ting along with other people, us
ing tact and showing consideration
and poise in their dealings.
The 33 possessed extraordinary
intelligence, particularly the knack
of analyzing facts. On the whole
they supassed 6 per cent of the
population in intelligence. The test
ers were surprised at this tow
ering superiority.
Generally these fellows weren't
ah aid to make decisions when
they had to be made; they were
normally calm and when provoked,
kept their annoyance under some
check: they tended to be conserva
tive: they were very frank in ap
praising their own assets and li
abilities, and thev exhibited high
' " " I
SSt"" "nd Vwp8Brt ' '
standards of tolerance for the per.
peoph
Apparently their chief weakness
was that in self-confidence and
emotional stability they were
merely average. This might seem
hard to believe for men who had
achieved success and were gov
erned by the search for it. But
the psychologist observed that
executive responsibility by its na
ture stirs anxiety In men.
The findings showed further that
many were almost driven to suc
cess by the fear of failure. They
kept on pressing upward because
thev dared not stop.
Obviously, not too many of us
can aspire to real eminence in
the business world. We haven't
enough of the required ingredients,
though some of us may cover cer
tain shortcomings by a tremendous
elfort of will.
The rest will have to be content
either with success In other fields,
or with the tact that more modest
accomplishment may give them
time to live more varird and
more leisurely lives thsn their
hard-driving friends pushing to the
top.
With full respect to those who
have the stuff to go all the way
we'd like to suggest that lite short
of the top can be pretty wonder
ful, too.

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D,
Iritis is one of the serious eye
diseases. It Is usually associated
with pain, watering of the eyes.
excessive sensitivity t o bright
light and, if long continued, in
terference with vision.
The pain Is likely to be severe
and worse at night. Toucntng or
pressing the eyeball is usually ex
cruciatingly painful.
One correspondent says that she
has had iritis in her right eye for
almost a year, and she is getting
pretty discouraged. This Is evi
dently a chronic form of the di
sease and one can only express
the hope that the treatments which
she is getting will soon prove ef
fective. Indeed this does often ha
pen.
If iritis begins suddenly, the
symptoms are likely to be worse
than in the chronic variety, but
recovery usually comes more ra
pidly perhaps in a few weeks.
When proper treatment is begun
early, the iritis often clears up
completely, but complications and
the possibility of chronic inflam
mation are dangerous possibili
ties. Iritis is sometimes associated
with rheumatism, diabetes, tuber
culosis, syphilis or Injury. It is
most important that the cause of
the iritis be discovered whenever
possible. The disease or condition
producing the inflammation of the
Iris must be treated, as well as
the eye Itself.
The search for Infection else
where In the body must be carried
out thoroughly. But sometimes no
cause whatever can be found.
The' eye Itself requires highly
skilled treatment, Including the
use of drugs, heat applied locally.l
rest and protection from light.
Sometimes a method called for
eign protein therapy has been
found helpful In iritis.
Tnis consists in Injecting some
protein substance (boiled milk is
an example) which produces a re
action in the body, usually with
fever. This seems to stimulate re
sistance and often has a favorable
effect on the iritis.
As in most other Inflammatory
diseases of the eye (but not such
things as cataracts, simple glau
coma, and the like atch or cor
tisone are often extremely useful.
vv n e n anytning goes wrong
with the eyes, diagnosis and treat
ment should be prompt as the risk
of permanent damage to these
vital organs Is great. It Is not
possible for a patient to tell what
kind of eye trouble he has from
the symptoms alone and. there
lore, nothing should stand in the
way of seeking expert advice
promptly.
In iritis, as in some other eye
diseases, the ability to see may
be at stake.

Aid Announced
The new apportionment of Fed
eral aid to Oregon for highways
heralds a great stepping up in ef
forts to being road facilities into
line with the requirements of mod
ern traffic, it was said here today
(July 13) by Ray Conway, mana
ger of the Oregon State Motor As
sociation, when it was learned that
the aid would commence six
months earlier than originally
planned.
"The actual start of putting funds
to work in Oregon is welcome news
to not only those who live in the
State and use its highways both
for pleasure and business, but for
those who will benefit bv the
mounting tourist trade which is one
of tho major industries of Oregon,"
Mr. Conway said.
The total federal aid Oregon is
to receive Is 612.889.469 and the
earlier release of the funds has
enabled the Oregon State Highway
Commission to start programming
and contracting at once. The
amount granted exceeds by $4,427-
658 the 68.661,811 allotted to Ore
gon for the preceding year, the
highway commission points out.
The program has been a maior
project of the Oregon State Motor
Association and the American Au
tomobile Association, with which
the club Is affiliated.
Mr. Conway said that the new
road act. Involving the largest two
year sum ever provided for federal
highways, earmarks for the first
time a really substantial amount
of approximately $300,000,000 for
the all-important 40.000 mile na
tional system of interstate high
ways. The funds are partially
matched bv the state on a ratio of
40 to 60 of the federal monies.
The Oregon interstate highways
comprise US-99 and US-30 between
Pottlnnd and the Idaho Slate line,
which will take $2,330,696 of the
federal funds. Of the remaining
$10,558 773, the sum of $1,387,166

The Idea still seems prevalent
that meteorites, those pieces of
heavy metal or stone which at
times full from the sky, set fire
to objects on the earth's surface
when they strike.
A few weeks ago a large green
meteor was sighted around mid
night from the central section of
California. It was reported that
the meteor fell behind Mt. Hamil
ton, the location ot the famous
Lick Observatory, and that it set
brush fires in 14 places. This
opinion was even connected In the
news dispatches with the name of
one of the Lick astronomers, but
this was of course erroneous. The
government foresters, however, af
ter aerial surveys reported there
had been no fires. Perhaps the
faint luminous train left in the sky
after the disappearance of the ob
ject gave the impression, of smoke
rising from the horizon
There is no authenticated account
of a lire set by the nearby fall
of an observed meteor or me
teorite. These objects travel
through interplanetary space as
cold material excepting for the
warming given by sunlight. When
they, encounter the earth's atmos
phere at speeds sometimes reaching
40 miles per second (not per hour)
their surface is so heated by fric
tion that they start to glow at
heights of 70 or 80 miles above
the earth's surface. As they tear
into the deeper air, they glow
brightly, but are also slowed down.
If they are small, they may be
burned to ashes at a height of 50
miles. If quite large, they partially
survive the fiery ordeal and a rem
nant reaches the earth. But usual'
ly this remnant ceases to glow at
heights of 20 or 30 miles, and by
the time it reaches the earth it Is
only uncomfortably warm.
Let me quote an unusual report
I received recently from a man
in Portland: "This spectacular me

Bribery Attempt Reported
By Postal Group Member
WASHINGTON 11 Chairman
Rees (R-Kan) said today the
House Post Office Committee
would "leave to the FBI" an In
vestigation of a reported attempt
to bribe a member of the com
mittee. Rees declared himself "stunned"
by the report, but said he planned
no Independent Inquiry because
"it's a matter-for the Depart
ment of Justice."
Atty. Gen. Brownell late yester
day verified widely circulated ru
mors that the FBI was looking In
to a report that a committee
member had been approached in
a purported attempt to influence
his vote on legislation to raise the
pay of postal workers.
Brownell told newsmen the 're
port was made by Rep. Broyhlll,
Virginia Republican and wealthy
building contractor of nearby Ar
lington, Va.
FBI REPORT
According to the report to the
FBI. the alleged bribe attempt was
in the form of an offer of a $500
campaign contribution. Broyhlll is
seeking reelection this year.
Neither Brownell nor Broyhlll
would say who made the alleged
offer, who received it, or when It
took place. Broyhlll Is a commit
tee member.
The heads of two AFL unions
which have been seeking a pay
raise for postal workers both de
nounced the reported overture.
Leo E. George, president of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks, termed It "so reprehensi
ble that it is impossible to believe"
and urged a full Investigation.
William C. Doherty, president of
the National Assn. of Letter Car
riers, called it "preposterous
unthinkable."
Rees and other members of the
committee who could be contacted
said they had no previous knowl
edge of the alleged bribe offer.
SURPRISED
But Rep. Gross (R-Iowa told
reporters he was "surprised that
Brovhill didn't come to the com
mittee in the first place."
The Post Office committee has
been engaged In a long and bitter
wrangle over legislation to give a
pay Increase to the half a million
members of the Post Office
Department.
Postmaster General Summer-
field has insisted that any pay In
