SUBSCRIPTION RATES MAIL ; CARRIER 1 Month I l.M ' 1 Month I 1.50 . 6 Months 1 7.50 Months 1 9.00 1 Vear 112.00 1 Year 111.00 Research Is Indeed an amazing discovery of our time, this column has carried as an illustration the story of a typical Industrial re search problem that was studied for one specific purpose in order to show that In the ultimate solu tion of that problem a variety of other problems likewise had to be solved in order to reach the final objective and while an answer has been obtained we still have not reached the end of the rood in the potentials for research in this particular field. Our Illustration was the search for what caused the "knock" In gasoline engines and we attempted to show the steps that were taken In the search for an anti-knock gasoline, has, as in this search been repeated In many thousands of similar cases; the search for a more efficient automobile engine affected not only the gasoline sup ply of the world but the search went far aiieid to cnange tne ec onomles of storage batteries through Its effect on lead, and on the fields of photography and medicine by revolutionizing the production of bromine. Our sketchy account of the de- velopment of tctra ethyl lead skipped over what tne inaivmuais engaged In this particular line of research accomplished In adding specific blocks or knowledge to the new and unknown, we warned to show the step-by-step process by which science accomplished its objective, we wanted to show that there is no magic in this business of science even though copy writ ers have dubbed one great Indus trial laboratory "The House of Magic." In the beginning, pure scientists devised the fundamental equa tions, the mathemstlcs by which science must work, and reached the fundamental concepts back of the research problem. These pure scientists showed how Increased compression pressure would pro duce greater efficiency In the en gine, and what that efficiency mhjht be expected to be under any particular set of circumstances. The point of time wns emphasized because these research problems extend over the lives of several generations of Individuals as It was In the case of the pure scien tists who developed their theories a long time ago and had no rela tion whatsoever with the Internal combustion engine, for it had not yet been Invented. The work of the puro scientists was In the field of thermodynam les which contains the basic facts of heat engines. Their discoveries were reduced to equations that are now the common tools of modern day engineers and scientists, tools that have now been in use for more than a hundred years. These preliminary scientific In vestigations were carried out by what we now popularly call "top flight" scientists, the explorers SAM DAWSON NEW YORK Wl-Buslneai lore casts for 1858 are popping out all over the place today and way ahead of schedule. Businessmen usually don't in dulge in the gentle art of soothsay ing before mid-December. Tills year they're out In force already. And with few exceptions they're predicting a continuation of good limes at least until midyear. Some guess that 1956 will see sizable more prosperity than 1BS5. Most, however, hold that the rate of gain will slow down from now on, but with times fully as good and maybe better than at present. The reason people are curious about next year at so early a dale may be two fold: 1. Wllh business so unexpectedly good, many are asking, "How long can It last ": 3. The President's illness focused attention early on what might happen to business In the coming year. Even at (he time he was strick en, most businessmen agreed that the momentum of the boom would carry through the rest of this year. Now. mx weeks later. It'i generally agreed that business confidence hasn't been weakened. In the six weeks there have been announcements of new plans for building more plants and for In creasing industrial capacity by adding Improved equipment. BAMC THIS SATURDAY and EVERY SATURDAY RED BARN DORRIS, CALIF. - STARRING THIS SAT. Muiic By Tht NEW Red Barn Bantl Dancing 10 till 2 exclusively to the use for publication into the unknown realms of na ture who extended the limits of human knowledge into entirely new and unfamiliar fields. Perhaps these scientists Clauslus, Carnot, Clapeyron, and others were led to study these particular phenom ena because the steam engine had come into existence. It provided them with both an opportunity and a reason, because the steam engine lifted the burden of toil from people and created a certain leisure for some people to use In Intellectual puraults. It also created wealth that en abled universities to support the scientists while they pursued stud ies of this kind. Ihdlvldual scien tists explore new territory of the mind, Just as pioneers developed the backwoods of our own country but they do this only when they are unhampered by rules and re strictions that limit the range of their imaginations. The next phase arises with a need, as It did here when the growing swarms of automobiles and trucks required an Increasing flood of gasoline. As long ago as the years following World War I, our petroleum resources seemed likely to be exhausted, this condi tion we have noted In speaking of the fear of famine In petroleum. It was this possibility that prompt ed scientists and engineers at the ueneral Motors Company to un dertake to learn what happened In an engine with the hope of finding a method of curing it be fore the lack of fuel hampered automotive transportation. The re sults we have seen. Thinking Is the' vital character istic of both pure, academlo re search and what we generally know as applied, Industrial re search. Investigators in either field spend far more time and energy thinking out their problems, and In learning facts that may con tribute to their solutions, than they do In active experimentation. Scientists at work seldom gaze long at test tubes or peer for days on end Into microscopes. Rather, they most often study in libraries, or elsewhere, thinking out their problems, The Job requires learning what other people have done, accumu lating new knowledge, and finally synthesizing new thoughts and pat terns of information gathered from all sources. Only when the scientist has been able to create in his own mind a clear picture of his objective, and a way to do it, doet he resort to experiment to prove or dis prove his conclusion. The process of research Is a mental process of dealing with facts, and experi ment is only a method of learning facts and testing theories. When the scientific facts and questions have been answered, the next problem Is to transfer the results to a substantial scale and this Is the task of Industry. Industries Included In these new plans for construction much of it next year are: Steel, oil. chem icals, glass, paper, aluminum, avia tion, electrical equipment, motors and utilities. With so much building assured, the boom will have one of Its props weli bolstered. The home bullnlng industiy also predicts more than one million new homes will be built next year, down only a little from this year. The other big prop, the auto industry, is especially vocal right now with predictions ol another big year ahead. With all this optimism about good times continuing, there are never Iheless a lew cassandras. These warn of trouble spots that might develop: 1. Falling farm Income; J. Soaring record consum er debts and mortgage totals: 3. The chance that the present trend toward building up Inventories might lead to a glut and thus to a cutback In orders: . The unrest In a world still Just testing out "the spirit of Oeneva": and S. The uncertainties that plague every presidential election year anil threaten to be unusually worrisome In the coming one. But even the worriers agree that real trouble hasn't shown en the horizon yet. So the businessmen now predicting good tlms In 1956 may very well be proven right. 1 00 Ptrien T.

BUyiHS 4 FOOT BALL PR06RAM IS STRICTLY FOR THE 8IRDBI74IKS- THE IN Hal Boyle NEW YORK Some things a columnist might never know if he never opened his morning mail: That nearly everyone knows Ab raham Lincoln was the tallest American president 6-feet-4 but nine out of 10 people can't name the smallest. He was James Madison, who was exactly one foot shorter than Lincoln. That Buchanan was the only real bachelor president of the White House and President Tyler was the mort prolific. Tyler had 14 cnild- ren, seven by each of his two wives. That up till now, Dwlght David Eisennower is tne first and only president to hold an air pilot's license. ' That It Is hard to estimate how many super-intelligent people there are In this country, but there are probably 1,600,000 who are mental ly deficient. (This doesn't Include Sunday drivers.) That In times past, man has used for money such odd things as the teeth of propoises and whales, boar tusks, beaver skins, stones, the scalps of redheaded woodneckers. pretty slaves and tobacco, salt, rum, sugar and beer. (Remember when they even used real money? ) Thai for each person in Ameri ca today, there Is about 311 In coins, m In paper money, and $630 In checking accounts. That business transactions in the United States average about six billion dollars dally ("here it comes there it goes"), or over two trillion dollars a year. That only 10 per cent of business Involves an exchange of cash: The other 90 per cent is done with checks. That an average of 19 million checks are written every day in mis country, ana mat the fact amount of the average check is slightly under 1300. That nobody I know writes checks that average anywhere near as high as $300 each, so mavbc I'd better start dropping my cheap menus ana mingle wllh a better class of people. That business and Industry lost half a bllllcn dollars last year be cause of stolen, fraudulent or forged checks. That Christmas must be really getting close, or I wouldn't be wast ing so much time thinking about money. (Anybody want to trade one dirty 10-dollar bill for a couple of nice fresh redheaded woodpeck er scalps?). , That actor Raymond Masscv wants to know: "Is 11 true that Llherace gets his dress clothes from a Dlor-to-Dlor salesman''" Thai the rest of my morning mall wouldn't Interest you any more than It does me.

Both Democrats and Republi cans, depending upon which ol them was running the government at the time, have accused each other of suppressing legitimate news. Newspapermen particularly throug.i the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers Assn., have banged, away at the govern ment, seeking to force out more information. In the past two days the Eisen hower administration got a double Jolt on this score: From ft con gressional committee and from a special report of the American Civil Liberties Union which stud- led the problem, And next week the House com mittee starts public hearings In its Investigation of alleged news sup pression. That investigation will last Into 1956. . During the Korean War in September 1051 President Tru man set up strict controls on the release of Information from gov ernment agencies which might aid the enemy. This covered all ot tne government. , Truman said no censorship was intended, and he Instructed agency heads not to use his order to sup press nonsecurity information or cover up mistakes. This left a great many editors unsatisfied. They blistered Truman's order. incy considered the order so broad that it was like an umbrella under which agency heads could conceal iniormation mat was em barrasrlng to them or which they main want known for other rea sons that did not Involve security Late in 1953 President Elsen- hower narrowed down the field of government agencies which had had the right under Truman's order to withhold Information. He took It away from 29 agencies, but still left It with 16. Under Elsenhower's order.

But Ihe ACLU In a 70-pase re port yesterday said all Elsenhow er's order did was eliminate some of the "more glaring absurdities" :n Truman's order. These two or ders of Truman and Eisenhower were the background for what fol lows. Tills year the Democratic-run Government operations Committee of the House instructed a subcom mittee headed by Rep. Moss D Call! ) to Investigate the whole government's handling of iniorma tion. Monday it begins hearings. But in getting ready for these hearings Moss' group last sum mer sent a list of 80 questions to 63 executive agencies about '.heir Information policies ... on Wednesday the subcommittee is sued a 552-page summary of the replies. ' Tnls summary showed that about 30 classil lea lions have been added by the individual agencies to the three which Eisenhower author ized. Hero are some of the classtfica Hons being used, by agencies to keep iniormation away from news men and the public: No; for publl cation: official use only: for ad ministrative use only; for official distribution; administratively re stricted. Yesterday the ACLU produced its report on government supprcs slon of news. It had commissioned a New York newspaperman, Allen Raymond, to do the Job because freedom of Information is basic in the ACLU s work and operations. Raymond turned out a hiahly critical study. He SBid: "Invisi ble government is now worse than nt any time In many years. These anuses nave curtailed the power of the press and of Congress It self to be of service to the people uy unaing out wnat goes on in government." The report said It is a fair con sensus among Washington corre spondents that abuses of the power In federal agencies to suppress In formation of value and Interest to the nation were "never so rampant as now." That meant the Eisenhower ad ministration was worse than Truman's In holding back Informa tion. While he was at it,' Raymond took a crack at Congress for the many times Its committees make important decisions on legislation behind cloted doors which pre vent the public from knowing who said or did what.

Would you explain this to us?" I am rather astonished by the number of Inquiries I receive con cerning polycythemia, since it Is considered a fairly rare disorder. Perhaps it is more common than generally realized. Or perhaps Uiose who have some contact with it are puzzled and therefore more likely to inquire about it. Polycythemia vera (truly, poly cythemia) is a disease in wnicn there are too many rea oioou in ihe system. In this respect It is the direct opposite of anemia, in hih there are too few. The ex cess of red blood cells may be only slight or there may ot twice as many as normal. The symptoms ot puiytyuicium differ from person to person. A hrii-u-.i-pri flushlna of the face and hands Is often present. Headaches, dizziness, an Inability to work well are fairly common. The disease cannot be diag nosed by these symptoms alone, but counting the red blood cells under the microscope Is essential. Polycythemia has been knbwn for many years. Many kinds of treatments have been tried, the most common one beln repeat-d removal of blood from a ve:n. Such repeated small bleedings do not, of course, cure the condition but do get rid of some of the ex cess red blood cells. Other treatments are the use of drugs aimed at destroying some of the excessive red cells. In some cases this kind of treatment has been quite successful. In recent years phosphorus which has been made radioactive has been used with considerable success. Phosphorus, of course, is one of the elements, and like many others can be charged with radioactivity by means of the cyclotron or "atom splitting apparatus. If this Is done the phosphorus will give off certain kinds of rays which are commonly called radioactivity. Because the phosphorus loses this radioactivity quite rapidly, howev er, it is safer than some other radioactive substances. , When given to patients with poly cythemia, the phosphorus unites with the red cells and destroys some of them, thus bringing the number down toward normal. This method of treatment for polycythemia seems to be the best so far developed. Indeed, polycy themia is one of the first diseases for which beneficial results have been obtained as a result of the discoveries in nuclear physics and atomic research. However, even this treatment is not perfect and the search for other and better methods still goes on. Dunsmuir Medics To Open Hospital WEED It was announced this week oy a group of doctors of Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta and Weed that they have formed a non-profit organization for the purpose of purchasing and operating the Mount Shasta Community Hospital. The hospital was closed earlier this year when Dr. Donald M. Lanham. who had operated the establishment, withdrew. He is not included In the new group of medi cal men. The Mount Shasta Hosplal will be enlarged, stated a spokesman for the group, so that complete medical care can be offered all patients In southern Siskiyou Coun ty as population growth demands. Tire doctors at the Weed Hospital will continue to give out-patient care and maintain offices at Weed Hospital which is owned by Long Bell Lumber Company. Patients will be hospitalized at the Mount Shasta Hospital as toon as It is ready for operation, they stated. Purchase price for the establish ment was not revealed.
