Experts WASHINGTON AP) Mosti government and private econo- mists reject the idea that public! fear of war and nuclear disaster has discouraged consumer buy ing. Debate and discussion continue, however, and economists are still puzzled over the failure of retail sales to join in the broad and general rise of economic activity this year. The same period has seen inter' national crisis piled on crisis, in cluding the Cuban invasion fiasco, Communist gains in Southeast Asia, the threat of war over Berlin, the breakdown of nuclear test ban talks and the pall of fall out from the new series of Soviet nuclear explosions. Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges and some professional economists tie these phenomena together. It is understandable, Hodges told a recent news con ference. that "because of inter national conditions and ... a little I fear" consumers might defer spending for home appliances and other big ticket items. A similar thought was tossed out by economist George Cline Smith. As outgoing president of the National Association of Busi' Bess Economists, the New York consulting economist told the as sociation last month in Chicago: - "If the economy is going to take off for the expected highs, consumers are going to have to get their heads out of the fallout shelter and act as through they think the economy is going to last for a while.

People are not spending for the same reason that industry is not piling up inventories at a boom rate, They don't have to. Goods are plentiful, you can get deliveries whenever you want them at stable prices. If (he time comes when people suspect that prices will rise or goods get scarce, the consumer may start to run. And Dr. Emerson V. Schmidt, research director of the United States Chamber of Commerce, told an interviewer he is con vinced after talking with many Americans that the fear theory is mostly hokum.

I need help1 and I don't know where to turn without risking trouble. Two years ago my husband dis appeared. He had left me be fore (other wom en) so I waso t loo oisturoea. He aiwavs came back alter few weeks. About a month later the police came to my home with a wallet they touna on a man whose mangled body was picked up near the railroad tracks. The wallet belonged to my husband. I had a lovely funeral lor nun and I went through the horrible months of grieving and torturing myself for not having been a bet ter wife. The insurance compa ny sent their check and I moved to a nicer place. Last night I was watching sDort's event on television. The camera turned on the spectators. I could swear I saw my husband. He was with a woman and they seemed to be laughing and talk ing. What shall I do? I am in a state of shock as I write this let ter. NO NAME Dear No Name: II Is more than likely that the man you saw on television was a striking double and not your husband at all. You should notify the police at once, however. If It was not your husband who was burled, the po lice would be very much Interest ed in finding out who he was. The Insurance company should be noti fied also. They will be eager to help In the Investigation. You have nothing to fear, re gardless. The error (If there was one) was not yours. Dear Ann Landers: Our daugh ter's wedding a few months ago was a very happy occasion. It was a beautiful church ceremony and she wore the traditional while gown. Quake Jolts PORTLAND (AP) A sharp earthquake jolted the Portland- Vancouver area and much ol northwest Oregon and southwest ern Oregon about 5:30 Monday evening. There were no reports of injuries or extensive damage. At Seattle, Dr. Frank Neu mann, university ol Washington seismologist, said a tremor cen tered north of the Portland area and rccistered between 6 and 7 on the Mercalli scale of 12, equiv alent to 5 on the Rlchter scale of 8'i. He said there were two sep arate shocks, about l'l minutes apart. Reports of the quake came from as far wast as the coastal community of Tillamook and as far east as Hood River, a dis tanco of roughly 125 miles. The tremor was also felt as far north ns St. Helens and as far south as the Detroit Dam area about 50 miles east of Snlcm. It is about 140 miles from St. Helens to the Detroit Dam. A resident of a coastal area about 10 miles south of Tillamook said "It practically shook the coffee out of my cup." Arthur Sponce, jailer at the St. Helens courthouse, said the building war. jolted sharply. In Portland, the shock lasted only a few seconds. It rocked the big Orcgonian and Journal build ings, and sent phone calls flood ing into newspaper, radio and television switchboards. Neumann said the Instruments at Seattle did not reveal whether the shock centered east or west of Portland. Ho said a fuller re port would havo to await infor mation from Oregon State Uni versity.

She was intimate, not only with Uie fellow she mar ried, but with a few others. "Then the letter went on to say, "I have heard her make some sneering remarks about girls who had to get married. I wish you'd tell her to keep her mouth shut. After all, she was no better just lucky." I am heartsick over this and don't know whether to show the letter to my husband 'or talk to my daughter about it. Please ad vise me.

There's nothing lower than characters who write anony mous notes designed to hurt peo ple or start trouble. A letter with out a signature Is not worth read Ing, much less worrying about. Dear Ann: A boy I will call Brad dated me all through June. July and August. It was wonderful, If we didn t see each other every day we talked on the phone. Then Brad went away for two weeks with his folks. He prom ised to write to me. Well I didn't get even a postcard. When he came home he didn't call. I heard yesterday (hat he is dating friend of mine. I'd give anything to know why he dropped me without a word of explanation. I m sure I II be run ning into him soon. Should I come right out and ask him why the sudden disappearing act? I'd hate to make a fool of myself JILT ED Dear Jilted: Why let him loow you feel "dropped?" Be plcasent when you see him and let him wonder why you are so sweet. This, my dear.

Vin- yard, OSU seismologist, said no information woald be available until today. Dr. Neumann said the .quake was in the area that causes super ficial damage, which is just what was reported in widespread parts of the Portland area. Clarence Wilson said a rolling movement toppled some 50 arti cles from shelves of a grocery store he manages in the lower west Portland heights district. How to save a $2 phone call and lose doing it "Thundering nonsense," said Mr. Tcrwilliger. "I'm not blow ing two bucks on a coast-to-coast call when a four cent stamp gets the job done!

So he dictated, and she took the letter down, and she typed it, and he signed it, And the whole routine just a half-hour of his, and And live days later, he client, asking him to clear clear. So he wrote again, reply from the client which said, "Thanks very much. But while I was waiting for your second letter, your competitor called mc Long Distance.

Salute Refused Stalinist MOSCOW (AP)-Former Pres ident Klementi Y. Voroshilov was rebuffed today when he tried to force himself onto the Lenin mausoleum reviewing stand fori the narade celebrating the 4th anniversary of the Bolshevik rev olution. The 80-year-old marshal, who has been among those taking the salute from atop the tomb every year since the parades began, was denounced at the recent 22nd congress of the Soviet Comma nist party as a Stalinist. He apologized for his sins and Premier Khrushchev said he for gave him. But forgiveness did not get him his former .place of honor 'Partnership' No Longer U.S. Policy SACRAMENTO. Calif. (AP) A Kennedy administration official said Tuesday that government private industry "partnership" power development no longer ex ists as national policy. Kenneth Holum, assistant secre tary of the interior, attacked the policy under which private utili ties were permitted to develop power at federal dams. In a speech prepared for deliv ery to the Western Regional con vention of the National Rural Wilderness Series Ends SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A congressional committee has concluded a series of regional hearings on a proposed National Wilderness Act. The split of California state agencies fit the hearing Monday mirrored earlier testimony: One supported the bill, two opposed it Testimony before the final West ern hearing of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee ran about two to one against the bill. The measure would preserve existing areas set aside as wilder ness and create some new ones, mostly in the Western states. Commercial activity and motor ized equipment including vehicles and power boats would be tor- bidden. Cattle, mining, oil, gas and lumber interests argued that the bill would lock up valuable natu ral resources and hamper the West's economic development. Conservationists, sportsmen's groups and some individuals ar gued, however, thai the wilderness should be preserved for the enjoy ment of all the people. a sale and she mailed it. didn't take so much time forty-live minutes of hers. got aprrmpt reply from the up a point that wasn't quite and he got another prompt A) PACIFIC NORTHWEST BELL overlooking Red Square. Dressed in a black overcoat and black astrakhan hat, Voroshilov moved slowly through tlie square just before the parade began. An officer in the elaborate blue and gold uniform of the Moscow gar rison barred his way near the entrance to the tomb. The mar shal argued and gesticulated broadly. The ollicer just kept shrugging his shoulders. Eventually the old .marshal, a former army commander, was allowed to enter the tomb. There he argued again with men in ci vilian clothes. After a few minutes he was es corted out by two men in dark Power Electric Co-Operative Association, he said: 'Partnership which proposes to sell falling water to profit (pri vate) utilities at federal projects ceased to exist as national poll cy on Jan. 20 of this year.' President Kennedy took office Jan. 20. Holum criticized the water and power policies of former President Eisenhower and said the preler- ence clause for public agencies in sale of power from federal proj ects was under harassment for eight years. 'We believe the natfbn's re sources should be managed in the broad public interest, not for self ish, narrow advancement at the public's expense, " he said. Earlier, the chief of the Rural Electrification Administration pledged financial support to rural co-operatives forced to buy power from "hostile" private companies. REA Administrator Norman M. Clapp said his agency will make loans to co-ops for their own gen eration and transmission facilities if they can't buy power on "fair or reasonable terms." Club To Hear J. D.

Malinovsky. made the keynote speech in which he boasted as usual that the Soviet Union now has weap ons "powerful enough to smash any aggressor." 'Malinovsky also reiterated the standard Soviet policy on Berlin and Germany that "the Soviet Union is insisting, in the interest of all peoples, on eliminating the leftovers of World War II, on signing a German peace treaty and normalizing the situation in West Berlin on this basis."
