And the chance of getting his buck on the opening morning so he could have all day Sunday to finish cleaning him up and telling his en vious friends about the kill. He parked his car at the base of a little hill, climbed out and loaded up his rifle and then began a careful stalk around the slope, pausing at evnry sound, his eyes probing the shadows cast by the rising sun. On he went, circling the scattered patches of brush, clambering over the grey piles of stone outcroppings, ever on the alert. As the sun rose higher in the sky that peculiar phenomenon oc- curred, It got colder instead of warmer. By this time the hunter's hands were cold, his ears were utlnging and he as feeling the bite of the early morning air all the way through him. well, deer In sight, but maybe if he sat still some of the other gunners roaming the woods would Hush one down to him.

There, just ahead, was a big up thrust of rock, jutting up sixty yards high and screened by tall trees. Just the place. He could crawl in there, hunker down in a crevice and build a fire that no rne would see. Soon he had a handkerchief sized blaze going In the dead needles and twigs he scraped up. As he watched the draw below him he fed his Jiro with bits of branches, bark and cones, Just enough to keep his hands warm. Suddenly he saw a movement, glint of sunlight on polished horns as a buck, maybe a three or four point, suddenly loomed up Sam Dawson NEW YORK W Coffee prices after a year of fireworks that burned the flnaers of America's household budget keepers are be ing investigated today by a sub committee of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee.

With the beginning of the new year, prices oi green coffee here began to rise, reaching a peak of S cents April 1, and Holding near that level until June.

And he knew a shortcut road he could ,,, ,, .,ri hrl h,m , ., He made his way back to the j rai. turned it with some difficulty in the brush, and bounced his way back over the cowpath to the road, found the rigiit fork in the road end turned toward the meadow. Behind him, on the top of the jumble of rocks, his tiny lire flick ered and sputtered, wavered and died, almost. But deep down In a needle-filled crevice a tiny tongue of flame caught and hung on. Greedily it ate Its way down through more cracks, lapping at the needles with a thirsty tongue. Soon the flames reached a flat spot where a dead branch had fragment overbalanced and fell to the rock below. Slowly but v.,!'.! red pcrshlence the fire ale Its way out of its rocky pocket In every direction Here a branch went up with a little roar, a dead log leaning on the rocks caught and smoldered along Its length. At the base of the rock the flames 'ate Into the duff, thick carpet of needles, bark and punk, and crept through this to the brush. Before long the little draw was filled with smoke, drifting and ed dying in the morning breezes. But it wasn't until after noon . that enough cf it seeped up into the sky that an alert lookout manv miles away spotted the white cloud ana swung his finder to center the crosshair in the heart of the lire. A radio appeal went , out telling others of the fire. A plane was dispatched to the spot, flying end less circles above the smoke un til the men could definitely spot tt. In the meantime nil available members of the fire suppression crew in the area had been called in. They probed the roads, seeking a way to the fire, running into one blind end after another until final ly they were able to drive their (rucks within a mile and a half of the fire. With the haste born of fear, for there is no other fear exactly like the fear of fire, the men, loaded with shovels, axes and a long crosscut saw, thrashed through the brush and over logs to get to the scene of the fire.

Their position on the face of the cliff has afforded them some degree of protection but nevertheless the natural elements of wind, rain and frost are grad ually taking their toll of this soft volcanic rock. This one observa tion precludes any degree of great antiquity to the authorship of the carvings. When Cerve writes "Scientists have deeded" he is exceedingly careless with his choice of words as I do not know any auUiority wno would be willing to make any more of a factual statement than that the carvings exist and no Scientist would be willing to place an 'interpretation at this time as to what is the meaning of these char acters, contrary to common sup position as used by Cerve as scien tific fact, the writings have not been completely submerged by the waters of Tule Lake. It would ap pear that only the lower portion at the base or the cliff has been submerged to a depth of ten feet or so between-1881 and 1891 by the sudden filling of Tule Lake in this decade, m 1905 at the start of the Klamath prnteer. th u'atni- 1a.o1 nr Tule Lake had subsided around live feet leaving about five feet uf the face of the petroglyph cliff submereod. In the light or this knowledge of the rise and fall of the waters of Tuie Lake over the lower portions of the carvings it is interesting to compare those that hnvo been sub. Ject to wave action of the lake to those that have been only subject to the weatherhig action of atmos pheric conditions. Those that hove been above the action of the waves remain fairly distinct, those that were subject to the longest period of submeiganco practically elimin ated. Such evidence would indicate years prior to 1850. not "nun drerts" of years ago ln the sense of "great" antiquity.

The hand -twisted pretzel is a slowly vanishing art form. Lady pretzel twisters are crowding out the men from the field, and new pretzel-tying machines ure replac ing them both. Only about 20 per cent of our pretzels are now made by hnnd," said Alex V. Tisdalc, executive secretary of the National Pretzel Bakers Institute. A real expert can still twist pretzels as fast as a macninc can tie them about 60 to a minute. But the machines seem to like the work better. Humun pretzel twisters sometimes tret knots in their stomach after a lew yeors. The best pretzel twisters are usually nervous people, . and the more pretzels they twist the more nervous they often become, They get tne Delias. The . industry had a 6 million dollar output.

By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (P-A new eom- mander may take over direction of 'Allied Powers in Europe next sum mer at about the time when according to the present schedule those forces will be expanded through addition of German troops. The recent visit to Washington and the Summer White House at Denver of Gen. Alfred M. Gruen- ther, who currently holds the post, has brought renewed speculation that he may be called home to be come either Army chief of staff or chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That in turn would open the Ques tion of whether the European Al lies would again ask the United States to supply a supreme enm mander for Western Europe or whether this country would accept the proposal. The first three Al lied commanders have been Amer icans. Britain or France may feel that one of their military men should have the command. Or the United States, which lost the case for the European Defense Community plan but endorsed the substitute pro duced at the London conference, may step away from another in vitation to command. ' The terms of both Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Army chief of staff, and Adin. Arthur Radford, chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expire next August. Either or both could be reappointed, but before Ridgway could complete a second term he would reach the statutory point of 62 at which general offi cers must retire. A precedent exists for bringing a former supreme Allied comman der back to become the military chief of the Army. Ridgeway him self returned from the internation al European command in July 1953 to become Army chief of staff. Gruenther, young lor his four star rank hi the Army, has es tablished a brilliant reputation as a planner and administrator, and is dubbed by his associates as "Tne Brain." He was President Eisen hower's chief of staff when the President was Allied commander ln Europe. their cellars, dug tunnels them selves until they met the enemy and routed them. To reward their valor, the king gave them no dough but awarded Uie bakers their own coat of arms a, stalwart pretzel upright be tween two menacing Hons. This sign Is still used hy many bakers throughout the world as an em blem of their trade. The first commercial pretzel in America was baked by Julius Sturgis 1861 ln Lltltz, Pa., and to day there are still 58 pretzel man ufacturers in Pennsylvania alone. "If all the'" pretzels produced this coming year were poured into one cellophane bag." said Tisdale, shaking his head, "it would weigh 18 0 million pounds. Think of that.'" Why Just think of it?
