But the latest release from the National Association of Manufac turers Is not only causing us to view with alarm, It is crcatUig a chaotic condition of consternation. They say (shudder), and I quote, James Marlow WASHINGTON Ml The best sin gle weapon the government has at this time for Jailing Communists lor their conspiracies against the United States is the Smith Act, passed in 1940. Under this law 81 Communist leaders have been convicted and Jailed for conspiring to teach force ful overthrow of the government. More than 100 have been Indicted. And the Supreme Court has up held the constitutionality of the act. The Communist party Is nowhere mentioned by name in we &mnn Act. The convicted Communists were found guilty of violating the law. as conspirators, not as Com munist party members. If the Communist party had been specifically named in the Smith Act the Supreme Court might have held the law unconstitutional. For example, the party, although gov ernment agencies have found It to be a Moscow tool, calls Itself a political party. The court might have decided that a law which was aimed at the party by name might therefore have Infringed on the Constitu tion's guarantee of free speech. The government has spent a long time, still without final posi . tlve results, trying to move against the Communists under still another law, the McCarran Internal Secur ity Act of 1950. Under that law the Commu nist party isn't mentioned by name there either Communist party leaders and members must regis ter with the government it their organization: 1. Is found, by the Subversive Activities Control Board (SACB) to be the agent of a foreign gov ernment, in this case Soviet Rus sia. The board so found It after giving the Communist party a hear ing which lasted a year. 2. If the Supreme Court upholds the board's findings. When the board ruled against them, the Communists appealed to the 'courts. The Supreme Court is ex pected to give a linal decision oy mld-1055. If the Supreme Court finds the McCarran Act Is unconstitutional or that the board was wrong In saying Communists must register, the government will have spent five years for nothing. If, on the other hand, the court upholds the board, what happens? Communist party leaders, although appealing to the courts, have in dicated they would not regester If the final decision Is against them. 8uppose on the day the court ruled they must register, the Com munists dissolved their party un der its present name and organized another party which had the same purpose. Would the government then have to go through the whole process all over again. Some government law yers think that would be necessary. Others argue the FBI could go out and arrest the Communists who didn't register. There are still penalties for not registering, once it becomes nec essary, but since there are an es timated 35.000 Communists in the country the government would have Its hands full Jailing all cl them. Now Congress seems In a mood the Senate voted lor it but the House hasn't acted yet to out law the Communist parly, ilatly and by name. Ally. Oen, Browneli previously expressed concern about such a move. He's chief spokesman for the Elsenhower ad ministration's opposition to ban ning the party outright. He feared thnt outlawing the parly might wreck all the work the government has put In so tar in trying to make the Communists register under the McCarran Act. There's a section of that act which says anyone forced to reen ter under it does not in any way incriminate himself by registeimg. But if now Connres.1 outlaws the party, Communists could argue at once and could he upheld by the courts on grounds thnt: It is unconstitutional for the gov ernment to require a man give evidence against himself as hp would be doing if he iegtstere.1 as a Communist when there is a law making it a crime to be a Com munlst. It is also possible and some government lawyers think It's a lively possibility the Supreme Court would knock out an act out lawtng the Communist party hv name. Again, perhaps, on the In fringement of the free speech guarantee, The government could spend years getting a Supreme Court rul ing on the outlaw act while watching- its work on the McCarran Act go out the window. So outlawing the party isn't r s simple as telling the Communists: "Now that we've outlawed you, go away." ACE MIMEO SERVICE 424 Main St. Thone 9297 MIMEOGRAPHING Sam.

JORDAN, M.D. From correspondence It seems that there is still a good deal of confusion concerning the use of hormone or estrogen ointments or creams. Q I have been using a hormone night cream for a year. What would be the effects of usinj? this face cream retrularly? Mrs. C A The female sex hormone contained in such creams is ah' sorbed through the skin. If H is used by a woman who is herself producing insufficient quantities of this hormone it will bring about effects similar to those produced wnen tne hormone is given by in jection. For example, it may cause increase in the size of the breasts, some change in the skin and perhaps other changes which are the result of the production of estrogen. In a woman who has no deficiency of ovarian estrogen production the hormone cream may cause no obvious effect what ever or it may cause disturbances in the monthly cycle. Q Would you please say something about a perirectal ab scess? Mrs. L. A This Is an infection of the tissue around the outlet of the in testinal tract. It may be the re sult of any one of several causes. It should be treated like an ab scess anywhere else, usually by suigical drainage and other meth ods. Q I am nearly 79 years old and am greatly troubled with cramps Jn my lens and feet, par ticularly at night in bed. What do you suggest? J. s A In all likelihood this is the reiult of some hardening of the arteries of the lower extremities. Sometimes this is relieved by get ting out of bed and walking around a minute or two. Medi cation as a rule is not of much value and this kind of situation is unfortunately often most difficult to relieve. Q Is there danger that ar teriosclerosis would turn into mul tiple sclerosis? Mrs. A.B. A None whatever so far as is known. Arteriosclerosis is harden ing of the arteries and appears to have little or nothing to do with the disease known as multiple sclerosis which is a disorder of the nervous system. Q If you can answer the following question you would be the most popular person around. Is there a product which will slew face wrinkles? A. B. A I fear I shall have to re ninin unpopular. Q If a woman is only three or four weeks pregnant can the doctor tell whether pregnancy exists at such an early stage? R. P. A The urine of a pregnant woninn can be used in certain laboratory animals to diagnose pregnancy very early and before a definite diagnosis can be made by clinical examination.

Del Norte County, however, resented this at tempt to steal the story from their area for Del Norte had long claimed the famous mine was just around close to home. In answer to this spurious tale of the Hum boldter's. J. E. Eldridge editor of the Del Norte Record wrote: "Although they may have found some rich diggings, they were not the Lost Cabin mine. "Since the year 1852 various ar ticles have appeared in print, not only in this state, but have found their way into the journals of the east as well, concerning the far famed stories of the Lost Cabin. "This much-sought for Cabin .mine has been located, according to the different tales concerning It, all the way from the Gulf of Mexi co to the wilds of Montana and Colorado, and the first searching party starting from various points along the coast. The last account given of the locality appeared in the Chicago Mirror of a late date (1879). headed, 'Tons of Gold!" This Cabin Mine, however, was in Montana, and had it not been for the names of tile persons men tioned in the description known to have been the same as those who figured In the Lost Cabin, we should have thought it another Cabin altogether. "All those who were in Crescent City at an early date will recol lect distinctly the excitement cre ated by the" report circulated re garding the Lost Cabin and the searching for it. As the first per son who went in search of it hap pened to be well known to us. having lived in our family for some time, and whose wife Is now a member of our family, we consld- that we are probably better posted in the matter than anyone now living In the lower part of the state. We propose, briefly, to give our readers a statement of the facts as they actually occurred relative to the Lost Cabin mine. 'In the year 1849. Col. C. Hall crossed the plains from Missouri to California drifting about with the tide of emigration to different parts of the country in search of the precious metal. In the summer of 1852, he found himself at Trini dad. "While there, a party of three men came down from the moun tains, one of whom, Vernile Thomp son, was an old acquaintance of his from Missouri. After the usual greetings, questions were asked In quick succession, and finally Thompson produced a large quan tity of gold dust and nuggets and confided to him the secret of where it had been lound, saying at the same time that there was Hint f -' -- - - - -r Prices Effective Monday - RoofRrtncfc VUltl IIVUJIJ Iml Country Style -25c Pork Sausaae - 25c Tray Pack Fill Your Locker Now!

IQwA plenty left at the place where they had been mining. "They had built a cabin which they had left, and also their tools: They had three pack mules pretty well loaded with dust, and with the usual reckless prodigality of the miners in those days, thinking they had sufficient to last them the remainder of their lives, never expected to return. "They had left papers in the cabin with full instructions where the mines were located, should they ever wish to direct others to the place. Colonel Hall became greatly interested and having en tire faith in their representations, obtained from them a diagram of the country which was reputed to be rich, together with directions how and where to find the cabin they had left behind but a short time before. They stated that the place was within hearing of the ocean's roar. but. as at that time but little exploring had been done on the northern coast, they could not give the exact locality. "The three men left for the east. Hall immediately organized a small company and started m search of the rich diggings. They followed the instructions as best as they could, taking a northerly course, and keeping within hearing of the ocean. They spent the summer in fruitless search, and by winter, the story having gradually leaked out, other parties started in pur suit of what was now known as the 'Lost Cabin meeting with no better success. "In the spring the search was renewed, and the story having by this time been circulated that enor mous wealth awaited the finder of the mine, parties were formed and started out from different parts of the country, having very little idea whether it w'as in Cali fornia, Oregon or Washington Ter ritory. Colonel Hall becoming dis couraged returned to his native state in 1854. In 1855, he again came to this country with his fam ily and settled in Crescent City, where he remained for some years. He finally moved to La lienor t and there met Thompson who again had come to California to settle. He immediately called upon the Colonel, who, after a long private interview with him, could never again be Induced to talk upon the subject of the Lost Cabin." (Did the Colonel learn he was dupe?)

LAKESHORE GARDENS ' NURSERY A Tuesday - Wednesday , 90c Merrill Lokeview unction 45f, ) Sam Dawson NEW YORK iP) Businessmen are counting up some solid gains today along with some dashed hopes dealt this year by a Con gress widely considered to be "more business-minded" than its predecessors. Legislation of prime interest to business lies in these fields: taxa tion, government economy, defense spending, public power, atomic energy, foreign trade, housing and the St. Lawrence seaway. High on the plus side from the point of view of business is the tax reform law, aimed at encour aging industrial expansion and production, and thus making Jobs and swelling payrolls. , But Congress ignored industry's plea that the 52 per cent corporate Income tax rate be allowed to drop to 47 per cent on schedule, and In stead extended the higher rate until next April. This will take more tax money from business in the next few months than com panies can save through other pro visions in the tax reform meas ure. These cover depreciation al lowances, research spending and the carry-back of losses for tax purposes. Nor did exemption of dividends from individual income taxes go txs far as business had first hoped. But industry feels that the token exemptions should lead to wider purchasing of corporate stocks by the citizenry. Congress sliced some excise taxes and helped move goods in volved classed as luxuries or semiluxurles off store shelves, and helped consumers save on various service, recreation and en tertainment charges. Manufactur ers are hoping for still further cuts in the next session. ' Economy moves in Congress are generally applauded. But some are disappointed that economy meas ures still leave the federal budget unbalanced and the federal debt due to rise with all its implica tions of inflation. Private power leaders count a number of victories. Congress laid aside public power projects to pive private firms or local au thorities the go-ahead signal. Businessmen eager to get into the infant atomic power field are counting on a partial victory not as much right to develop nuclear fission plants through private en terprise as many want, but at least a beginning despite all the built-in restrictions. Congress put a brake on public housing, to the cheers of private builders. It also liberalized financ ing rules, and jubilant builders predicted a continued home build ing boom, with all that means to the construction industry and fi nancing institutions. Cuts in defense spending and cancellations of military orders caused layoffs in many plants. The St. Lawrence seaway, which will open the midcontinent to ocean shipping and develop some public power, brings joy and vi sions of profits to many industries and a number of potential "sea ports." But some existing sea ports railroads and power com panies see it as one of Congress' most damaging acts.

MEMBER HAL NEW YORK I Morning, thoughts of an alley Aristotle on the start of a new week. Monday Is the limpest day in , the average man's calendar. He i returns to work tired from work- i ing at play. j We take the 7-day week for j granted. Sometimes when I feel like criticizing both the Lord and nankind even an upset stomach j can stir these solitary thoughts of j rebellion I olten harbor thoughts about the God of the Old Testa- J ment that would hardly please Him. Yet He labored to create the world in six days and rested from his vast efforts on the seventh day. That created Ihe tradition of the 7-day week. The modern ef fort in most industries has been to try to get the working job done in 5 days. But suppose the Lord had la bored 99 days in a row to per fect our vineyard and rested on the 100th day. Could human beings have accepted this pattern of a 100-day week? Certainly not today. So maybe on Monday every -7 days isn't as bad as it sometimes seems. We claimed we are made in the Image of Cod, but there are no quarrels in a Christian heaven. More often we imitate in our daily lives the old Greek and Roman gods, who squabbled among them selves in petty rivalries so much that today they would feel as much at home In Times Square as they did on Mount Olympus. The victory of Christianity over the centuries is that it reflects the ordinary man's craving to rev ere something more substantial, and less jealous, than he knows himself to be. Peace has been the mouth-spoken dream of every generation of mankind under the sun. Yet the simplest way to create world un ity would be an announcement that invaders from another planet had landed on earth. The sad fact of so-called civil ization as we have known it is that dire necessity, a man's urgent loneliness and dependence on the frightened fellow who must pro tect his flank, has knitted firm er friends in danger than can all the pleading platitudes of peace. It remains to be estabished whether man, for all his pious cries for peace, can endure it very long. His predatory omnivor ous appetite, his restless quest for- change, his reach for power beyond his grasp, have made him the animal of animals, the pred ator of predators, and reduced his religiosity to a mockery. Even the mosquito is more honest. It doesn't pretend to pray. It preys. - War is a long boredom for the soldier, and has always been either. Congress ditched most of the President s program for liber alizing world trade. It extended the Reciprocal Trade Act for only one year, and foreign traders expect very little will be done un der this act in the next year.

NATIONAL BANK FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION BOYLE through history. The moments oi danger are usually few, frighten ing, and fatal only in those acci dents and harsh circumstances of duty incidental to a soldier's task. Sometimes there are few or no casualties, on occasion the whole outfit is a casualty. But war in the industrial 20th century has made tile civilian, pa triotic and willing as he is, get a feeling of war importance. On his days off he volunteers to forget his regular job and work in a factory to help build a bomber his son may fly, or spot check a new gun his boy may have to fire. That seems to me to be a real danger the civilian's excitement and feeling of significance when war is on. He is sometimes over borne and swept away by it, and abandons the standards that make him a nice home guy. The war inflates him and his opinion of himself: He and many girls, too in their minds actually hate to see a war close. It will send them back to a dull routine. But the invention of the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb makes the civilian a potential target. Naturally this reduces his enthusiasm and gives him almost an infantry soldier's weary worry about how to stay alive and in fluence enemies. Who can make people forget the glamor and magic of war the feeling of importance war often brings? Who can make them feel peace important? 46 Killed In Indo Air Crash ' SAIGON, Indochina Wl A twin engine cargo plane evacuating Vietnamese refugees from Hanoi crashed in the Se Done River near Pakse in southern Laos yes terday, killing 46 persons.
