His am:1u:io!is were that these Jcll6wsWhought thai by giving up cigarcts they could escape cancer of the lung. Mel's hopes arc that he gels cancer In only one lung since he has also taken up a pipe.

On Uie 20-year period between his time Biid that of Mr. Elsen hower, he spoke on the encroach ment of tho White House on the other two branches of government and attacked executive agreements and commitments made to foreign nations "without the specific con sent of the elected representatives of the people." "There has been a grievous list of such commitments. They In elude such international agree ments which shackle our economy by limiting a free market .

Our tacit alliance with Soviet Russia spread communism over the earth. He said the agreements at Teh ran and Yalta "extinguished the liberties of tens of millions of people." He called these actions "appeasement and surrender." and said another agreement stnrted the communizatlon of Mongolia North Korea and China. "These unrestrained presidential actions, Hoover said, have suited In a shrinking of human freedom over the whole world. "From these actions came the Jeopardies of the cold war. As a by-product, these actions have shrunk our freedoms by crushing taxes, huge defense costs and com. pulsory military service." On these "unrestrained presiden- tall actions" he said. ''We must make such misuse of power for ever Impossible." That's the word from the-one man in the world best Informed on the executive branch of the Untied states government. On the foibles of politics, he de scribed as a "gimmick" the cra dle - to - grave philosophy which he said the socialists advocate. "It Is solely the Initiative and the labor of the physically able in the prime of life that can support the aged, the young, the sick and the bureaucracy. "And this active earning sroiiD required the pressures of competi- j tion, the rewards of enterprise and new adventure to keep It on the I Job.

I We might add that there was one group of Americans which had complete security from the cradle to the grave but Abe Lincoln didn't approve. The slave of the : Old South was the only American who ever "enjoyed" that security. : Hoover talked sarcastically j about what he said was another ' Socialist preoccupation "the ' common man." He called this a "vote getting apparatus. . .another cousin of the Soviet proletariat ... the negation of Individual dignity and a slogan of mediocrity and uniformity."

Ve taxpayers bill for suppoiting farm prices may be lower. But the consumer's chance to benefit seems slim, at least for the time being. Weather, the processors say, will play a much more important role in setting the size of crops. And any change In prices at the larm is likely to be too small to make much of a dent in the high "fixed costs" along the way to the grocery. , Cotton traders believe the weath er may ease the price of cotton- but the same "fixed costs" will play the major role In setting the price of clothing at the store Uncle Sam already has large surplus supplies of grain, cotton and dairy products In storage. These will continue, traders hold, to put an artificial curb on the play of supply and demand. The government already has more wheat In storage, under past price propping, than this nation will use in an entire year. A siza ble portion of this year's crop is expected to go under government loan, also. The new farm bill would cut the price support for wheat by huoui cenis to around S2 bushel. The world wheat price Is under $1.15 a bushel. So wheat exports would still have to be sub sidized, if Uncle Sam wants to cut the surplus In that way. The cotton crop this year may be about one million bales less than the market will want, accord ing to the Department of Agricul ture. Tills would give the govern ment a chance to move some of the cotton it holds under previous price support loans. Cotton trading circles, moreover. believe the government's estimate of this year's cotton crop may prove to be too high. Thev think the drought damage may run higher than the Agriculture De partment now foresees. In that case, the price of this year's cotton could rise a little I Oldsmobile Klamath Basin for July!

The reason the consumer won't benefit much if any as traders here see It is that the promary or farm, price plays a smaller part all the time in setting the final cost at the store. -Consumers complain regularly when they note the price ol grain falling on the Chicago Board ot Trade and the price of the pack aged cereal product at the gro cery remaining the same, or even tending higher. Food processors reply: The labor cost of handling the grain, all the way from the farm to the mill' to the grocery, and after It reaches the're, too, has gone up and con tinues to tend nigher. i-'reignt rates have gone up several times since World War II, adding to handling costs. Consumers want frills in pack aging and preparing, all of them costly. So these "fixed costs," plus the profit margins of various middle men, now outweigh the price of the larm product itself in setting the grocer's price. The taxpayer, however, mav Dav less for price supports under the new larm bill depending always on what the weather does to the size of the' crops. . At the start of this summer the Commodity Credit Corp. had more than 6 billion dollars tied un in surplus products, about twice what It had a year earlier. Congress has raised Its borrowing authority to 8'i billion, so it can take care of this year's expected surplus. It has asxea lor io billion. Farmers, however, may find tneir cash Income shrinking fur ther. They've already seen Its total drop to below 13 billion dollars from Its record high of nearly 17 billion In 1947.

More than 22 million newly de cayed teeth are believed to de velop each year among the 38 mil-' lion children between six and 18 years of age in the United States. Probably !5 out of 100 adults have artificial teeth, and another 20 out of the hundred should have them. No wonder our dentists arc busy! All of us can help to lessen tooth decay. One measure which is par ticularly important for children is the maintenance of a good diet. 'This Involves adequate amounts of milk and milk products, fruits, vegetables,- cereals, eggs, lean meat, poultry, fish and whole grain bread. In fact, anything which aids the body to keep in good health, including diet, also apparently helps to lessen the amount of decay. Mouth cleanliness is also Impor tant. Food particles easily catch in the teeth, decay rapidly, and in doing so, injure the hard surfaces of the teeth. It is best to brush the teeth after each meal; If this can't be done rinsing the mouth with wa ter will help some. Those grownups who do not al ready know It, should be in structed by their dentists as to Just how their teeth should be brushed, and children should re ceive the same instruction as early In life as possible. In some cases, too, dental floss can be used between the teeth to clean out food particles, but instruc tion in how to do this is de sirable. In order to avoid injuring the gums. There is much reason to believe that sweets injure the hard tissue or enamel of the teeth. For this reason candy and other sweets should be taken In moderation and the mouth always washed or rinsed promptly, immediately thereafter. It is hardly necessary to add that all of us should go regularly to the dentist who can identify small cavities or difficulties early and correct them promptly. All this means we carry our own responsibility for our teeth, even if the highly desirable addi tion of fluorides to the public wa ter supply is greatly extended. hydramatic) including the following: Hydramatic Panoramic Windshield Choice of Interior Colors 15 Gallons of Gasoline Oil Filter , Gas Filter Polish All Standard Accessories Turn Signals Ph. 4103 NEW YORK !l Many stage- struck girls dream of becoming a fashion model-and going on from there to fame and fortune in Hollywood. If you have that dream, girly, vou mleht as well ditch it now, unless you like to play the long odds. ' ' This is on the advice of Mona Freeman, the exception who proves the rule. She won atten tion as a child model, and tier pretty face adorned many a mag' azine cover before she made the movies. " "But modeling isn't generally a big stepping stone to a film ca reer," she remarked, "although many people seem to think it is. "Offhand, the only former mod els I can recall who went into the films are Lauren Bacall, Gene Tierney, Jinx Falkenberg, Phyllis Kirk and. ..uh... Marilyn Monroe. There are probably a number of others but, comparatively speak ing, they are few." Mona, wno at 26 still looks like a blonde college freshman, quit modeling- at 17 to try her luck in the movies. She has made between 26 and 30 films, the latest being Battle Cry," based on a best- selling novel about the Marines by Leon uris. After working her way into that $1,500 - a - week - and - up bracket Aiona is m a good position to com pare her careers as model and actress. "Modeling is an art, but it is comparatively simple to learn," she said. "A girl who can learn to model at all can do so in a year. "And if she hits the top, she can make $600 a week or more. A girl doing that well at modeling quite often doesn't see why she: snoum inrow away that kind of money to take a chance on flop ping in Hollywood. "It Is a big chance to take. too. A model merely has to photograph well. All she needs is looks and poise. But an actress has to de- veiope a - personality that ap peals to the public." Mona also believes (her old mod eling friends may stick out their claws at this) that an actress has to do something every moment at her work that few models are re quired to do. She has to t-h-i-n-k! "Acting is a job. a really tough Job. But I like it. It Is grind-never a dull existence. But even alter you learn your craft and practice it well, that doesn't mean success necessarilv. Von still have to put yourself over with wie puonc. ' The public is a strange and cap ricious God to all entertainers. Mona, still as stage-struck as the day she played Little Eva in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" during her high school days, retains a won dering awe over the mysterious factors that influence the" public. "The thing that gains you the most attention may be something that as an actress you regard as the least of your efforts," she said. "For example, when they were filming, 'Dear Ruth," I was told to make a noise to annov mv father. He had grounded me and was trying to read the paper. "Without even thinking, I let out sometning between a long sigh and a groan of exasperation. It wasn't even rehearsed. But that rid iculous sound caught on.

The nxtra years Old WASHINGTON Wl The Senate is heading into another fight on a bill to loosen up the law on atomic energy and its uses. The Senate recently finished a two weeks' bat tle on the subject. Democrats who made the first fight are lining up for the new one. Several points In the bill ir ritate them. One of them covers patents. This is an ABC on the patent dispute. Briefly, the patent law says: An inventor an individual or a firm can get a patent on an invention for 17 years. During that time the inventor alone- has the exclusive right to use that invention for his own profit. He can, if he wishes, sell it or let someone else use it also, either free or for a fee. At the end of 17 years the patent ex pires and the Invention becomes public property and anyone can use it. At this moment no private firm has atomic patents. Because of the secrecy involved and the terms of the 1946 atomic energy law. the government has had complete ownership of all atomic develop ments. It holds over 700 patents. The government's AEC Atomic Energy Commission not only did its own atomic developing in government-owned plants but had the help of some big corporations working under contract. Because they wers working for AEC, those firms could not under the 1946 law get any patents on discoveries they made. But at least they got knowledge on atomic development, with the government paying the cost. The bill the Senate is about to consider would allow private bus iness to develop atomic energy not Old Indictment To Be Dismissed SAN FRANCISCO (JPh-The gov ernment has asked that an indict ment against William M. Shuford, accused of embezzling $3,434 In postal funds, be dismissed. Shuford was postmaster at French Gulch when he disap peared. The government must finally have figured they couldn't find him.
