Holmes and Secretary of State Mark Hat field, contenders in the next gu bernatorial .race, have had much to say on the subject of capital punishment. Governor Holuves has come out flatly for abolition of capital pun ishment and has asked the people lo voto it out of the constitution in November. He has commuted two death sentences while in office. Hatfield's public .statements have been a hit more cautious, lie say he will "carry out the mandate ot the people" with regard to capital punishment. The Republican secretary, how ever, has scored the governor tor imposing his "personal philusphy" upon the judicial processes of the state. Hatfield has said he would use the commutation authority only in the light ol facts such as now evidence pertinent to the case at hand rather than "basing action un personal opinion." As a private matter, Hatlield has said he favors the universal aholi tion of capital punishment based not so much on moral argument as on the inequality with which tlic death sentence is imposed, lie adds that these teelings would not enter into any specilic case. The governor seems to feel that commutation of death sentences should be the rule while Hatlield feels it should he the exception. The governor's stand against the death penally has been made tougher politically because the one man now under death sentence liilly Junior Nunn was convicted ol killing a 14-year-old boy in a crime invoking sex. Hut the governor has stuck to his guns, explaining it to the Ore gon Prison Association this way: "I know- there are many atro cious murders committed by per veils and liy psychopaths. But we do not soke the problem of per version by killing the pervert, nor the Inrnrs and abnormalities of tlic psychopath by leading one to the gas chamber." The governor recently granted Nunn a l'.'-month reprieve while the Slate Supreme Court considers an action brought by the dead boy's parents challenging his right to exercise powers of commuta tion. A decision in the case will prob ably come much sooner, but the governor apparently granted the year's reprieve to eliminate the possibility of charges bringing pressure to bear on the court. The governor's position on the death penalty is that it does not prevent murder in any degree and he believes, along with Hatlield. that it is also applied unevenly with the poverty stricken or ig norant getting the death sentence most often. Holmes has placed more em phasis on the moral wrongncss ol taking a life than Hatlield has in arguing against capital punish ment. If the people do vole to take the capital punishment clause out ol the constitution in November, it will be up to the State Legislature to find a way lo implement their wishes in the matter. I.iiiiiIm'i Future By N. FLOYD McGOWIN Pres. Nat'l. Lbr Mlrs. Association Lumber production is showing signs of recovering from the ab normal lows of recent months. Much of this is traceable to grow ing indications that the nation is on the verge of a new surge in home building. about four per cent above produc tion. 5. Signs of an improvement in farm income suggest a mare fa vorable outlook for farm construc tion, a prime market for lumber. 6. Railroad and industrial plant demand for lumber can be expect ed to improve once these segments of the economy share in a general business upturn 7. Reports from retail lumber dealers indicate a feeling of opti mism for the coming months. Re tail stocks, like mill inventories, have been reduced, so any appre ciable increase in retail demand would be translated quickly into new business for the manufacturer. Actually, 1958 may turn out to be a year in which the lumber industry has had to mark time Many manufacturers are taking advantage of the lull to seek new ways of lowering production costs, improving quality rontrol proce dures an- developing better cus tomcr relations. This will put our industry in a stronger position to take advan tage of next year's opportunities most notably, the prospect of a banner year in home building. One of tqc most encouraging de- While lumber output during the, . ,. u l." .l. first three months of 1958-7,311,. ,..Ju.. , ' 000,000 board feet was down an estimated 10 per cent from the year-ago level, figures for the sec ond quarter arc expected to show a somewhat smaller percentage of decline. The biggest months for lumber output June, July, August and September are yet to come. Con ceivably, production during t h e second half of 1958 could boost this year's total output to the point where it equals or even exceeds by two of three per cent the 11157 level of .13,,191,00fl,O00. Much, of course, depends on gen eral economic conditions. Regard less of what the federal govern ment does lo stimulate home build ing, our country's general business climate will have a marked in fluence on housing demand during (he succeeding months of 1958. At the same lime, a strong show ing in home building could he a key factor in helping the country to recover from its present econo mic downturn. It is interesting to note that lumber production during the first quarter of this year has been only a shade below output in the same months of 1950. As home building moved into high gear during the middle and closing months of 1950 and went on to establish a new ill-time record of nearly 1.4 mil lion units for the entire year lumber production likewise rallied to a postwar peak of 38,902.000,000 board feet. Many manufacturers believe the lumber market has hit its present bottom and that from here on out the only way is up. 1 am one in clined lo share the view that our industry is on the upswing. Here are some of the circumstances that support that view: 1. In many parts of the coun try, poor weather has been respon sible for curtailing lumber output during recent weeks. Sunshine and dry weather could do much to change the picture in these areas. 2. Lumber inventories ot the mill have leveled off in recent months, so the industry is in a much bet ter position now to feel the full salutary effects- of a pickup in new husioess. 3. For the industry as a whole, production has been cut to the point where it is now about equal to shipments. This should head off any new huild-up ol unwieldy slocks. 4. A sample survey of 4110 mills shows now orders for the first 19 weeks of 1958 lo he running turcrs throughout the country of a new million-dollar national wood merchandising program developed by the National Lumber Manufac turers Assn. This program, expected to be launched later this year, will do much to help the industry recover and retain markets lost to competi tive materials. AH these factors and others which there is not Ihe space to mention here suggest that the lumber industry has a right to view the coming months of 1958 with confidence and at least some degree of optimism. Hrrors By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP) You can't tell the business players in July without a scorccard. If you accept the news on face value you could run up a lot of errors. It's a tricky month as far as the statistics go. This year there are some added confusions. Persons anxious lo believe Ihe recession is over and recovery un derway and (hose fearful that the more cheerful news of late is a flash in the pan signifying little could be fooled by July. Here arc some of the things likely to happen that the wary should take as cause neither for panic nor over evaluation: The rise in steel production is one of the chief factors cited by those thinking the recession is over. But steel production is slid ing again and the weekly figures in July may seem sad. The growing custom of plant shutdowns for vacations in indus tries using steel may be more widespread and last longer Ibis year than usual. The burst of steel orders for June delivery to beat any price rise may have borrowed quite a bit of what would have been normal July ordering. So a cutback in steel output in July, even if more than usual. shouldn't lead you to the conclu sion that the general economy is turning down again. Watch August and September orders before making up your mind. In the allied metals of copper. zinc, lead and alum-inum, price and output confusion could last well into July. Politics adds much of the uncertainly as various pro posals to aid the industries are kicked around in Congress. But there is also a labor lactor. Aluminum wages go up auto matically August 1, just as steel's Pogo ( A-MAZINO.' 6e, JU CAN'T I 6V9S BCMSMBM v.-' J 1 CJ WANT to ec5""' I THfBOCK ISMASIC-- CHfCCj Ov e) MfcMORV COUtiiil l$) t.O C tflSf - A- 1 OO IT CN MS CW- I if o vvv Own pov 4 wvfiCtf i?6.S rS.g -for I eeACV-' 1 oov tn son rs-f WUA- MV T-AT 0OCC? do tomorrow. And copper and steel users will be taking plant vacations, so July statistics on or ders may give little clue to the fall outlook. Textiles will look bad for sev eral weeks as mills close for various vacation periods. Some are taking extended ones this year. The hope is that inventories will be corrected and the industry ready for an advance you'll know later in the year. The industrial output index, which took a comforting rise as a result of the flurry in steel, may be off more than usual this July Earlier changeover to auto fac tories along with slack production of 1958 models while dealers wrestle with slocks cculd make the index drop more than usual in July. Also, this would be reflecting past troubles more than it would be forecasting fall events. In a few days you will get the government's figures on unem ployment in June. If the figures jump from May, remember that added to the unpleasant total of those now jobless will be the new ly graduated and other students looking for work. Personal income figures, on the other hand, are due to rise. That doesn't mean that yours will necessarily, or that most folk will be better off. It means that some workers are getting automatic wage scale boosts. But most of the jump will come from the 10 per cent rise for government em ployes, with a sizable sum of re troactive pay being handed out. July figures, in other words. may seem to mean more or less than they really do, unless you read them calmly with the back ground in mind. HivsiNirHi By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Written for NEA Service Rheumatoid arthritis (sometimes called chronic infectious arthritis or atrophic arthritis) is a serious condition of the joints. The cause is not known and its treatment is Still far from satisfactory. Fortu nately an increasing amount of re search is being conducted on it. Rest is always desirable, both for the joints which are affected and for the body as a whole. Simple remedies to relieve pain, providing they are not habit forming, arc also helpful. Aspirin is still a tried and true remedy. Many victims of rheumatoid ar thritis have a tendency to anemia so that they may need iron prep aration or, occasionally, blood transfusions. The diet for patients with rheu matoid arthritis, especially during the early stages, should contain enough nutrient material a m d should be high in vitamins. But there is little evidence that any single jjicl has a direct influence on the joint inflammation. Some people seem to benefit by a change in climate a warm, dry climate being the most popular. This also is by no means a sure cure. Doctors have used treatment with foreign protein injections. These substances, usually injected into a vein or muscle, produce a kind of reaction which seems to stimulate the resistance. But this treatment is used less frequently now than in the past. Preparations containing gold. given by injection, have been wide ly employed in this country and abroad. When used during Ihe ear ly stages this seems to have brought about good results in many cases. But it must be em ployed with caution. Nearly everyone is now familiar with the use of cortisone and ACTH in rheumatoid arthritis. These substances often bring sud den and dramatic relief of Symp lons. Unfortunately, however, the good results usually do not last long and undesirable side-effects are frequent. Consequently t h e search goes on or bcKcr methods Prolonged conservative treat ment has great value. The com paratively simple methods avail able otten bring goo i results. Sev eral special mechanical devices have proved uselul. And it is important to remem ber that most victims of rheuma toid arthritis will never become so disabled as to be bedridden or to require a wheelchair.

The Hungarians, all refugees who have been granted political asylum here, were seized by po lice at their rooming house after an anonymous telephone tip that they planned to leave the country. The Hungarians agreed they had intended to take a one-day trip to France, a Sunday crossing that involves no passports, but in sisted they had no idea they were in a restricted area when they tested their camera. Police held them 18 hours for questioning while the films were developed, then let Ihe men go when the pictures turned out to he ordinary snapshots showing just faces and no secrets. Police said the background of the pictures was Foulness Island, the atomic weapons testing center in the Thames Estuary just otf Southend. But it was just a dis tant haze on the snapshots. Two of the Hungarians had been caught snapping pictures in the wrong places last year. This lime all were warned to watch their focus and were let go. MECHANIZE HANDICRAFTS TOKYO (UPD Red China an nounced today it is trying to achieve the ultimate in modern technology- mechanization of the handicraft industries. Radio Peiping said a national conference of handicraft cooperatives decided that 70 per cent of the nation's handicraft industries could be con verted into modern factories or workshops by 1960 or 1961. Three Siskiyou Schools Aided YREKA-A total of almost $20,. 000 was allowed by the Siskiyou County Board of Education for construction and improvements at three Siskiyou County schools dur ing a meeting held in Yreka on Thursday evening.
