Editor Sore Mumi'Icn By BILL JENKINS , Having taken the final step last 'r week and cut down a tree in the back lot I was determined that none of it should go to waste. Bad ' enough to have to remove one without making it worse by wast : lug the wood. If I Judged the value , of the tree by what you pay for a finished two by four in a lum i ber yard that tree must have been K worth several thousand dollars. Well, anyway, I decided that it " would make wonderful fireplace wood if it were to be cut up and split to the proper size. The next thing, of course, being to get the long sections bucked up and ready for the splitting oper ation. To do this one first has to remove the limbs. This I found out the hard way, but the trouble was quickly patched up with a make shift tourniquet and I was on my way. An axe. a thing of cold, clean, deadly beauty, can turn into a heavyweight menace to the major muscles of the back In a mere matter of hours. I found that out, too. Hie next time I have fo go Into this business of limbing a tree. 1 11 be more methodical about It Approach it on a she-loves-me ahe-loves-me-not level. One branch at a time scattered over the neces sary period of days. But, with only a few hours of back-breaking labor I had the limbs all except those under the tree which had been driven into the ground chopped off and stacked for future sorting and cut ting. . ... Then came the problem of how to cut through a three foot butt with nothing In the way of a tool but the kitchen bone saw. Solved this one by borrowing, as usual, a chain saV. Just like the axe. Heavy enough when I tried to lift It out of the car, Uie thing rapidly assumed the bulk of Mt. Shasta and darn near the gross weight. A few quick rounds, me versus both the tree and the Saw, had the ground Ut tered with chunks from the tree sawed In a highly erratic manner but still freerolling and short enough to be kicked Into a fire place. After its split up, of course. I haven't gotten to that yet. Five hours and twelve pounds later the Job was dftne. The hill side Is littered with great chunks of knot-filled wood, each one cut with a sneer on Its face that seems to dare me to try and reduce It any further. Two great, lowering atackes of branches, nicely inter laced and twined together Into an Impenetrable mass, are also wait ing for my action In choosing those that will be cut for firewood and those that will be tossed Into the hole In the hill that I want to fill to make room for a car park. Like all do-it-yourself fans I'm full of good advice now, which I Ifeely pass on to anyone who Is contemplating such a chore. First, get In good physical condition. A six or eight week hiking tour through the Alps should sharpen up the muscles. Next, tone up the nervous system with a rigorous course In Yogi in order that you can better stand the shocks to the nervous system when you find knots In the wrong place. Cheney Stokes breathing will help Uie lungs. Hnrdening the hands In a brine solution will help somewhat against the threat of blisters. Arm yourself with heavy shoes, a hard hat. a stoker's sweatrag and such things as occasional refreshment, salt tablets, clc. Or, better yet, hire a man who knows what he's doing. From here on out I shall have nothing but the highest admiration for those modern day Paul Bun yans who have mastered the se crets of the chain saw and the chopping axe. Long may they saw. And I sllll have to split ull that stulf up. Oh dear. lYl'llltlM'll By KEN Mi I.EOn As one roads ol the lives ot il lustrious Indians he cannot but be impressed by Uie hardship ot Hie and the vast amount of death by violence that was a part of their hentase. Kaced always by the menace ot the advancing fron tier and Ihe loss ol their cullure. Out of this conflict, one alter an other, the dreamers appeared each holding steadfastly to his vision which in the end was doomed to failure. Yet the world ol America gained something from the life that each one led. We have seen the rise of Hiawatha among the Iro quois and the Algonkln were to bring forth Trcumsrh. Tecumseh Is a name translated as "one who pusses across an in tervening space from one point to another, this is springs." It is a name that Indicates the owner be longs to the gons ot Ihe oreal Medicine Panther, or Meteor, hence the interpretation "Crouch, lug Panther" and "Shooting star" have been applied to him. Per haps such a name as "shooting Star" Is not without some prophet ic application for he did blaze sud denly In the face ot history. Tecumseh. a Shawnee, was born In 1764 at the Shawnee village ot Plqua on Mad River, about six miles southwest of the present town of Springfield. Ohio. The vil lage was destroyed by the Ken tucklans in 1780. His father, who was also a chief, was killed in the battle of Point Pleasant which took place at Uie mouth ol the Great Kanawnha River in West Virginia on October 10. 1774. This battle in which the Indians suffered defeat was lead by the celebrated Shaw nee Chief. Cornstalk, who lead a band of 1,000 Indians mostly ghaw nee against 1,100 Virginia volun teers. Tecumseh's mother is said to have been by lilrlh a Creek, but this is doubtful. It must be re membered that a considerable Entered u second claw matter at the post office at Klamath Falls, Ore., on August 30. IMS, under act of Congress, March , 17 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California body of Shawnee were domiciled among the Creeks until long alter Uie Revolution. On the death of his father. Te cumseh was placed under the care of an elder brother, who in turn was killed in battle with the whites on the Tennessee frontier in 1788 or 1789. Still another brother was killed at Tecumseh's side at Uie battle of the Fallen Timbers, (of which we wrote in our last col umn.) Oeneral Wayne's victory in 1794. While still a young man Tecum seh distinguished himself in the border wars of the period, but was noted also for his humane charac ter, evinced by persuading his tribe to discontinue the practice of torturing prisoners. Together with his brother Tenskwatawa the Pro phet be was an ardent opponent of the advance of the white man, and denied the right of the govern ment to make land purchases from any single tribe, on the ground that the territory, especially In the Ohio Valley country, belonged to all the tribes In common. On the refusal of the Americans to recog nize this principle, he undertook the formation of a great confed eracy of all the western and south ern tribes for the purpose of hold ing the Ohio River as tne perma nent boundary between the two races. Tecumseh visualized a great In dian state In the Ohio Valley and Lake Region, which should live In peace and harmony with its white neighbors to the east and English Canada on the north. It was an idea often entertained by while men, who should have known bet ter. Had Tecumseh lived as an European, experienced the educa tion of a Jefferson or an Adams, he would have realized the fallacy of the arguments in support of his vision; but he was conditioned by his Indian outlook, knew noth ing of European history. Tecum seh could not understand the pow er and drive of white nationalism, which not even the good intentions of its devotees" could stay, let alone Induce to tolerate an Indian state in Its wake. To all this he was necessarily blind. He knew that be1 fore Wayne, the Indians had tri umphed, that they had fought well with the English In the Revolution and before that with Uie French. He believed that the English of Canada would not only support such an Indian state but would re spect its borders. I'ninpHigii Trains By RELMAN MORIN For HAL BOYLE NEW YORK in I am beginning to fear for one of the fine old fixtures of the American political scene, the candidates campaign train. Like the brass band and the torch light parade, It may be on the way out. The airplane and television nave been muscling Into the picture on bigger scale every presidential year. You can reach a lot of voters In a very little time with them. They ara slick and modern. But for the reporter, covering a presidential campaign, the train has special advantages. It gets you to the whistle-stops and the earnest little towns, lets you listen to people talking, and gives you the "feel" of the debate, as nothing else can do. You practically live in the "worn car" on the train. Tills is a news room on wheels. The seats have been taken out, and long shelves for typewriters line both sides of the car. A public address system connects with Uie rear-car platform where the can didate does Uie talking. The train may stop 8 or 10 times a day. In 1952, both Oen. Eisen hower and Adlai Stevenson were Indefatigable campaigners who made a lot of stops, and then did a major speech at night. You don't have much time, onlv a few minutes at each stop. Some times you know what the candi date is going to say. Sometimes, he catches you flat-looted. One dark nieht In l!f-2. some where north of Seattle, Eisenhower unexpectedly broke out a brand new line of attack. It came toward the end of a back-platloim talk In a small town. Typewriters began to smoke In the press car. The train started to move. We ripped the copy frryii the machines, yelled "Western Union " and to our horror, saw the agent roll all the stories Into a slimle ball of paper, and hurl them out tnto darkness. "Don't worry." he said, sooth ingly. "My guy will tlnd that copy, and your ollices will get it." And by gollv. they did. It wasn't always like that., the heat wasn't always on. Frequently, there was time to mingle with the crowd packed around the rear car. Then you got a voters'-eye view ot the candi date. You could sense his strong and weak points, and how the people were reacting, and what they said and what attracted them. For Instance, It was worth a lot of votes to Eisenhower, four years ago. when, at the end ol a talk, he would sav "and now. I would like to Introduce my Mamie. . ." There were the times, too. when he would mosey into the press car and sit around. Just talking. He was friendly and naluial and a good story would usually come out of these talks.

April ItuslncMN By SAW DAWSON NEW YORK lid March bows out of the business scene more like a lamb than a Hon. And busi nessmen look to April for the first sign of a spring pickup that would take them out of the current lev-ellng-off condition. A revival of confidence was the outstanding mark of March. Seeds were planted for future expansion. Some hope that April will see them germinate. Secretary of Commerce Weeks, however, thinks the pickup may be two or three monUis away. By then contracts will be let and business will start spending the money for the record amount of new plant and equipment It plans to buy this year. Retail trade as a whole contin ues to run a little behind the rec ord pace of the closing months of 1955. Americans spent more man usun.l this month lor Easter finery except In those unfortunate re gions where storms kept the snoo pers away from the stores. But the spirit of saving or of Daylng off old Installment debt is still strong. Merchants report that shoppers are more Intent than ever on hunting for bargains. Bad weather in many areas ap pears to have postponed till April the hopes of the auto and home building industries for a marked upturn in sales. On the production front the De partment of Commerce notes a drop In textiles, clothing and elec trical machinery as well as autos. It says this was pretty well off set by a rise in the output of industrial machinery and other forms of capital equipment. With consumers so far showing no sign of starting another spend ing spree like the one last fall, the department finds the biggest support for the economy as a whole to be the Increase in busi ness spending for plant and equip ment. Tax Haiti By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON UP Donald R Moysev'a raid on the Communists for back taxes has a lot of an gles. The Democrats and Republl cans are a little embarrassed; the Justice Department Is speechless; Moysey's bosses didn't seem to know what ne was up to; calling the Communists a "political par ty" is like using a naughty word. If there's general confusion about Moysey's operations it Is because the Internal Revenue Service he's its director for Low er Manhattan has not yet Issued a clear or full explanation of what he did and why. He raided the Comunist par ty's headquarters In New York and Its newspaper, the Dally Worker, and seized its property for back taxes. He had directors in other cities make similar raids at the same time. It's almost unbelievable all this could have been planned and car ried out without the knowledge and approval of Moysey's boss. Rev enue Commissioner Russell Har rington, and other government of ficials. But they did give the ap pearance of being completely sur prised. Moysey contends that the Com munist parly owes taxes and has never filed a return. The Com munists argue they don't have to file a return, saying they make no profit and live off contribu tions. A revenue service tax expert here says political parties, even though making no profit, must file a return. He did not say the Com munists are a political party. He explained that coiporatlons. with or without profits, must file returns. Political parties have "all the attributes" of a corporation in that they are run by a chosen group of individuals for the bene fit of the members, this man said. Now it Is learned the Democrat ic and Republican parties evi dently have never filed returns. They argued yesterday that be cause they are political, living off contributions they don't have to tile. There Is a penalty for not fil ing: up to a year In Jail and a line of 110.000. Will the govern ment prosecute the Republicans and Democrats? Hardly. Revenue agents have never asked to see their books. As far as this writer knows no one In ihe government in connec tion with the Moysey raids has called the Communists a "politi cal parly." It may be an acci dent. But there would be a good reason for net doing so. Under the corrupt practices law political parties which try to In fluence elections In more than one state must file wilh the House ot Representatives a report on their income, when they gel, how they spend It. The Democrats and Republicans file these reports. House employes sav thty cannot recall ever hav Inii seen such a report from the Communists. It' hard to see how they could call themselves a polit ical party and argue that they don't try to uiflumce elections. There's a penalty a year tn Jail and a 11.000 line tor not cm plvlng wuh this law. Why hasn't the Justice Department prosecut ed the Communlsty party? The last thing the Justice Department wants io admit is that the Com munists are a "political" parly.

IleNpnIment By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent The United States is not going to be very popular in Japan for some time to come The Japanese government, Japanese political parties and Japanese people generally resent President Elsenhower's decision to go ahead with the H-bomb tests in the Marshall Islands next month. This resentment is likely to grow in the coming weeks. And It will be fanned not only by the Chinese Communists and Soviet Russians but, undoubtedly, by "neutralists' like Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India. There Is no Indication, fortunate ly, that in the long run Uie friendly relations between tne united States and Japan will suffer. But Japanese ill-feeling seems sure to continue. Japanese opposition to H-bomb experiments stems from the big tests neid in March, 1954. At that time radioactive fallout contaminated 7000 square miles of the Pacific. The waters Involved are used by Japanese fishing boats. There was practically a national panic In Ja pan for fear that fish sold after the tests were poisoned. To make It worse, the crew of one fishing trawler far from the test area were dusted by fall-out. One of the 23 men died later. It developed, long after the tests. that the fin were not polsonoui and that the crewman of the traw ler Fortunate Dragon who died was the victim of a Hver com plaint. Nevertheless the United States paid S2 million damages as a gesture of good will. All this did not convince the Japanese that Uie H-bomb tests were not a real threat. As far back as October, 1954, Japan started protesting officially against any new H-bomb tesu. Immediately after the announce- ment by the Atomic Energy Com mission last January of the new tests, Japan sent a note of protest Japan also asked a guarantee in advance that the United States would pay for any damage or in convenience the tests might cause to its shipping or its fishing in dustry. This protest was rejected. But the United States promised to con sider any solid claims of specific damage. It is now disclosed that President Elsenhower himself decided that Uie tests must go on. The United Nations Trusteeship Council was informed that there is no aiterna tive. "It is the conviction of the United States that It has a responsibility not only to Its people but to all the peoples of the free world to maintain at a maximum its capa city to deter aggression and pre serve peace," the U.N. was told That argument, when the stark facts of life are considered, seems unanswerable. But it will not satisfy Japan. Ear Troubles By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. A (treat many children develop ear Infections sorne of which lead to chronlo difficulty such as run ning: ears, Impaired hearing in lat er life or to rupture ot the drum membrane. This condition, which Is known In medical circles as otitis media, Is worth knowing about. Acute otitis otten accompanies or follows the common cold or such diseases as measles. Prompt action by the use of the gcrm- kllllng drugs or by early drainage by making a cut into the ear drum may prevent a great deal of diffi culty later on. The seat of the trouble Is tn the portion of the ear called the mid dle ear, which Is a sort of closed cavity shut off from the external ear or canal by an ear drum or membrane. This cavity is connected to the nose by a passageway called the eustachian tube. It is. by passage through this tube that many germs originating in the nose pass to the middle ear. The discharge from a running ear consists of germs, dead cells and pus. Usually the discharge is whitish or yellowish In color bu: Uie color and consistency vary with the germs which are responsible for the Infection. When dangerous germs get In to the middle ear they cause in flammation of the delicate mu cous membranes. Blockage ol the eustachian tube Is common. When doctors look tnto the ear of person with a painful ear ache they can usually tell whether the trouble is in the middle ear by the appearance of the drum membrane. This will usually bulge In acute ear infections and can be cut, allowing the pus to escape through the external canal. U Uie process goes on the drum membrane Is not cut, the pres sure generally bursts It and the material escapes by Itself. From then on. however, the membrane la weaker than normal. Treatment ot chronic otitis Is dif ficult Cleanliness is Important snri Includes the removal of crusi and anything which Interferes wilh drainage, washing with var ious solutions la of grest help In accomplishing this purpose. Some doctors have used sulfa drugs In powder form to blow into the middle ear. Also, suction Is helpful In cleaning out the pus and mucous. Because a chronic condition I. so troublesome and Interferes so much with perfect health. It is highly Important that such Infec tions b Heated as early as possible. THAT ONE IHC EI4TOR-VVEU.,(300O- Brc NOW" Traffic Deaths CHICAGO ijfl Trafiic deaths are going up and up. The National Safety Council focused attention on Uie long up ward climb with this statement: 'February was the 12th month in a row to show more deaths than th same month of the pre ceding year. Deaths are now going up fast er than the increase in travel, so the only conclusion is that people are driving more carelessly." RECORD STILL INTACT MAYSVILLE, Ky. Wl Mason County Jail's 76-year-old record of no escapes is still intact today. City, county and state police com bined forces last night, pulled a surprise raid and confiscated 4 hacksaw blades, 3 knives and found some of the bars partially sawed. The inmates acted very much surprised at the sudden in trusion and denied any knowledge of a planned break or how the blades got there.
