MAIL 1 Moot ........... Montha 1 Tear pi our last column we carried t couple of questions that a re lAwned student of world affairs propounded to a group of Amer lOtn foresters some thirty years ate nd at the time voiced some of the thinking then current in regard to finding a solution to the forest problem. Serious consldei atlon at the time was oejng given lot we subject of control of log cine ao that the theory of con trolled scarcity of supply would govern the lumber market and bring about the desired result of turning interest toward better limitation ol tliriDcr. First the student of world eco nomies asked: "By what process legislative or otherwise can the stipply of lumber be controlled so that prices would justify a more complete utilization of the existing product and also encourage sub stitutions of products of which the supply la unlimited such as ce ment and brick?" Me then went on to sketch the tirfe steps that would accomplish thl aim "1. Legislation by which permis sion to log is determined by some controlling agency, not necessar ily governmental, but probably so "I. The appointment of a suit' f,ble commission to determine When and where logging should permitted. "I. The determination of some ntere or less eutomatio basis lor determining the amount of logging to be permitted from year to jear." He then went on to state: "I have brought this problem before yeu because I wish your opinion en two questions: "1. Do you believe that logging efceuld be controlled by the gov ernment or some other agency bvmg auflicient power? "I. Do you believe that the mount of logging should be so restricted as to make profitable t leg the lower grades of usable Umber which now go to waste? "It these two questions are to enswered In the affirmative, the details of a solution to the latest problem can be worked out, or at least, the present threatened hertage of lumber can be great ly postponed. If you answer in tat negative, I ask you to offer at aolutlon. "The time has come for action.

When, however, a pri vate organization is not eliicient it then becomes necessary for so ciety to exercise sufficient control to protect itself and future gen erations. The question is, 'Do oui forests come in this category?' "Fortunately In this Instance It Is not necessary or desirable for the government to take over the lumber industry. 11 will be suitl- ricnt to control the amount and character of the logging and the .subsequent utilization of the land. It Is essential to realize that If what the forestry experts tell us is even only approximately true, it Is only a question of time and a short time as ;iistory goes until our condition will be somewhat similar to China. The steps to be taken In their broader outlines arc so simple that anyone who runs may rend. What is necessary Is to galvanize the people of the united Slates Into action before It Is loo late." This statement by an acknowl edged world authority of econom les clearly Illustrates the logical iniruong or people who fall to take Into consideration the fundamental powers of change that Is contin ually taking place about us the world will always continue to be exactly the same as it Is today attitude. These statements by the savant were made- to apply only to tne lumber Industry neverthe less the same line of thought has been applied to the field of agricul ture in general In the production of food and fiber. In forestry, a quarter of a cen tury ago the emphasis of forest education was placed upon the pro duction of saw timber and II we continue our course as we were at that time we must run com pletely out of saw timber; a fam ine in lumber was building un in th face of our progress. It was-1 true we were creating areas that were similar to the devastation wrought in China. The concern of the people therefore was real. The factor of change, however, was not particularly recognized. yet today we begin to see its force in action and though our present forest industry economy still de pends upon the saw log there Is every Indication that th- forest will gradually become more important as a producer of cellulose than a producer of lumber even though lumoer win still oe a ma or mo- duct.

Trouble can arise within the cor poration, the institute holds, be cause the choice of relatives for top positions more or less defeats any proprani of executive develop ment.

YOU GUESSED IT" The Doctor Says Ily Ml WIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Unlortunately no remarkably ef fective new treatment has been developed for the rather common conditicn known as sinusitis. Nevertheless, correspondents continue to ask for discussion of this subject of which Mrs. T's letter is a good example. "My sister," she says, "suffers from extreme sinus headaches. She Is 31 years old and is trying to nolo on to ner teaching Job. Due to the damp weather here, she seems to get worse every year and I should like any Informa tion you can give me on some where else in the United States where a person with a sinus con dition can breathe normally. This condition must be hereditary be cause my sister's 10-year-old son Is showing the same signs." Before going on to a general discussion of sinusitis, it should be said that so far as we know sinusitis Is not an hereditary dis ease and the fact that Mrs. T's sister s son is also suffering from sinusitis should probably merely oe considered as an unfortunate coincidence. Treatments of many kinds are, and have teen, used for sinusitis. Since the symptoms are often part ly the result of the pressure of accumulated pus and mucus with in the mucous membrane lined pockets of the sinuses, temporary relief is sometimes obtained by washing them out, often with fluids containing drugs which shrink the membranes. Sometimes Kerm-killing druss sucn as the sulias or the antl biotics aro helptul. Operations are frequently employed, most of them aimed at cnUritiiut the onenimi from the sinuses into the nose so that the mucus and pus can drain out more easily. In spite of all these measures many victims of sinusitis continue to sufler. Many, like Mrs. T. have written asking whether thev could expect relief by changing the cli mate. Theoretically, the best climate for a person Willi sinusitis Is one In which there Is not much chaime in temperature between niirht and day. A temperature of 68 degrees to IS devices with the air neither loo dry nor too moist but with a little breeze liom time to time would be Ideal.

Some place-! in Arizona and New Mexico, although quite different, appear to be good for some sinus sufferers. In most parts of these states, however, Ihere Is a great deal of fluctuation between day and nisht temperature and the air is too dry to be satisfactory for some sinus sullcrcis. I know of some who become even worse in such areas.

A Supreme Court decision yester day left him free of the charges. The government reportedly &pcnt one million dollars trying to con vict him. One government lawyer said this was the most important treason case since Aaron Burr's. Provoo's story is strange. So is the government's handling of him. Provoo, a Californian now 38, went to Japan to learn the langu age and study the Buddhist reli gion. He returned home in 1941 and, a lew months before war be gan, enlisted in the Army. He was shipped to the Philippines. He was among those Americans captured by the Japanese at Cor- reuidor. Right there, the govern ment argued years later, Provoo became a turncoat by posing as Buddhist priest and offering to help the Japanese. He was in a Japanese prison camp until the war ended in 1945 but then the Army held him a prisoner for seven months while it investigated him. Nevertheless, it honorably discharged him Aug. 17, 1H4F. He re-enlisted 18 days later. But in 1949 the Army again held him as a prisoner in the stockade at Ft. Meade, Md., awaiting court martial on a charge of homosexu ality. Then on Sept. 1. 1949. the Army transferred him to Pi. Jay. N.Y., and the next day dishonorably dis charged him. Immediately the Justice Department had the FBI arrest him on a treason charge. He was indicted on that chargu by a federal grand jury in New York on Nov. 19, 1949. But the government kept him prisoner mice years before briny lug mm to trial In Ociobci 1952 Fomc of his American fellow pris oners tcstllicd he had been kind. Some said he had been a vicious bully and Japanese collaborator, (The defense argued that Provoo had used his knowledge of Japanese to ease the lot of fellow prisoners and to this end might have curried favor with his captors. Any propa ganda help that he might have given the Jnpancse was defended as forced under pain of punishment or even death.) On Feb. 11, 1953. a jury found him guilty of treason, specifically for aiding the Japanese with propa ganda broadcasts and being partly responsible lor the execution of an American Armv captain. Burton C. Thompson, by mtorming on him to the Japanese. The Judge gave Pro voo a lif? sentence. Provoo's court-appointed lowycrs fought t lie guilty verdict and won. On Aug. 27. 1954. a federal app late court in New York overturned the verdict by ruling 'Provoo should have been tried for treason In Maryland, where he had been In the Army, instead of in New York.

And how come the Justice Department was right Dice to grab him on a trea son charge? A government lawyer later testl- tied, in effect, that this was all arranged between the Justice De partment and the Army because Army wanted to get rid of him and the Justice Department lawyers thought tiny had a better chance of convicting him in New York. He said one of the Maryland fed eral Judqes had shown antagonism to the Justice Department in the past. But the Justice Department wasn't ready to throw in the sponge on Provoo. It had him reindicted for treason by a federal grand jury in Maryland. He was to have been brought to tr:al last March 14. Before trial could begin his lawyers argued Provoo's constitu tional rights had been violated by the government in holding him ao long before bringing him to trial. so there should be no trial. The Constitution' Sixth Amend ment promises every accused per son the right to a "speedy and public trial." The federal judge, Roszcl C. Thomsen, agreed and ordered Provoo released. The Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court to reverse Judge Thomsen and order Provoo to trial. Yesterday the Supreme i;ouri upneia ine juage. Playboy Emperor 'Fires' Premier PARIS (UP) Playboy Emperor Bao Dal announced today he had "tired" South Viet Nam Premier Ngo Dinh Diem who has called a referendum in an effort to end Bao Dai's role as chief of state An estimated three million South Viet Namose will vote Sunday on wnetner to oust the absentee Em peror or the prime minister. Diem is expected to win a resounding vcte of public confidence. Bao Dai announced that he has withdrawn the mission he gave Diem 18 months ago and that the "full powers Riven the Roman Catholic premier has been can celled." The Emperor apparently was making a last desperate effort to maintain at least some semblance ol power In the South Viet Nam stale. Diem Is equally determined to force him out.

HF.NDEKsON (For HAL BOYLE) BUENOS AIRES 0FI A battle royal for men's minds Is going on In Argentina. The outcome could decide whether this nation builds democracy from the ruins of ahat- tered Peronlsm or reverts to dic tatorship. A press campaign Is trying to persuade the working man still fanatically dedicated to Juan Pe- ron that he can get along even better without the fallen president and be free besides. It is being conducted by the provisional gov ernment set up after rebels ousted peron last month. It's an important propaganda job and a tough one. Without at least the passive cooperation of these peoples, achieving stability will be difficult. Peron has a 10 year head start In drilling Into their minds the idea he was the only one capable of leading them to tne better life. Argentina's General Confedera tion of Labor (COTi claims six million of the country's 19 million citizens. The COT was Peron's big fist. In 1945 a daylong strike and demonstration by the CGT forced a military clique which had ar rested Peron to free htm. Tnat show of mass- support hoisted Pe ron into the presidency the follow ing year. How many of the CGT's claimed six million are still avid followers of the exiled Peron is question able, but surely the figure is high. unless taught something other than "Peronlsmo," they could be a constant threat to tranquility. The government of Maj. Gen. Eduardo Lonardi is trying to show the Peronlstas the difference be tween laoor unions free to chart their own course and those domi nated by a government. It is also trying ts get across the mcanln; of "hard money." Newspapers un der temporary direction of the pro visional authorities carry editori als on tnese subjects almost daily Typical were two editorials on tho sama page of "La Epoca" one day last week. One. aimed at CGT-affiliatd un ions which will elect new officers soon under government supervi sion, said: "An effective union democracy . . . is the task of the hour." Tne second editorial, entitled "Salary and Money," carried for ward, the contention of Peron's op ponents that salary raises he gave the workers were quickly gobbled up by inflation. "The people work, and for their work receive a salary In pesos made of paper," It said. "Pesos have value because they represent the nation's wealth . . . Govern ments spend and spend. When their money Is gone. Instead of leducing the spending, they print pesos, whicn Is easier. Paper costs tittle and is printed rapidly. What happens then? "If more pesos are printed but no more wealth is developed, each peso Is worth less wealth , . . The salaries, then, are not enough. One must augment them, because prices go up." These are basic ideas many na tions have been discussing for years. But in Argentina such thoughts have not been , brought up publicly for a long time. Motsevich Named Red Farm Leader MOSCOW (UP) Vladimir Mat sevich who headed the Soviet agri cultural delegation which visited the United States last summer, has been appointed minister of agricul ture.

BRUCE It was inevitable that great at tention would be paid to the re leased German war prisoners who could give the first eyewitness ac counts of Adolpn Hitler's last days In Berlin. Tlie men who have been freed, one of them Hitler's body servant and another his personal pilot, agree that their leader committed suicide with his longtime friend, Eva Brann. Both say the bodies of the two were burned to ashes outside the bombproof bunker in the German chancellery grounds, where Hitler had frantically di rected the Nazi war effort in its final phase. The effect of this firsthand testi mony is to confirm one of the most remarkable Intelligence per formances recorded in World War II. A British Intelligence officer, H. R. Trevor-Hoper, painstakingly dug out the final chapter of the Hitler . story from captured docu ments, testimony of such witnesses as were in Allied hands, and the physical evidence in and around the bv.ker. As a matter of fact, Heinz Linge, the Hitler body servant now freed, was one of Trevor-Roper's sources. His detailed dairy was left behind and came into British possession. In spite of this generally very convincing report, tne legend per sisted from the outset that Hitler had not died but somehow had made his way out of Germany to a hiding place abroad. Lisbon or Buenos Aires or some such spot. There was no shied of evidence to support this notion. The chief reason it did not per ish was most likely the wish of mary Nazi people to believe that Hitler still lived. They could cling to only one fact: that utterly no trace was found of Hitler's body no ashes, no bones, nothing. Linge now comes forward to help extinguish that frail spark of hope. He declared that he himself assisted In reducing Hitler's body to ashes and disposing of them in a manner which assured there would be no trace left. If the legend persists beyond f MBS.

More realistic men will see f. nality written in the eye-witness confirmation now given to Trevor Roper's story. i We who love life and liberty may not readily understand why Hitler could find no course but death. But he had tasted the an guish of prison before, and even in the unlikely event he could have escaped to exire, he might have found such self-banishment nearly as painful. He kiew his ultimate death at Allied hands was a strong proba bility. Since that was so, he chose to manage the last act according to his own lights. With the same flair for the dramatic that marked so much of his life, he wrote the closing scene as a sort of modern day, Wagnerian "twilight of the gods." Hitler saw himself the whole way as a man of destiny, living a life that was a work of art. Such a life cannot end without artistic flourish. More than ever now, it seems plain he supplied the stun ning conclusion ha believed the grim circumstances called for. EVA SHRINE ERASED BUENOS AIRES.
