GOP Not Giving
Farmers Square
Deal Says Adlai
GREEN BAY, Wis., (J1) — Adlai
Stevenson says that the nation’s
farmers are not getting a fair
deal under terms of the present
Republican policy. At the same
time, he added, “things for every
body else gets better.”
“This is not only unfair to the
farmer, it is unhealthy for all
of us,” the 1952 Democratic presi
dential candidate said Friday.
“For when things go bad for
the farmer it hurts a lot of other
people ... It is unfair and dan
gerous that farmers, alone among
the great economic groups in our
country, are not sharing in the
current prosperity.”
Terming the farm problem a
“desperately difficult one,” Stev
enson said the GOP policy of
sliding or flexible supports, “is
not working.”
“It has been made more diffi
cult by the neglect, the indiffer
ence, the postponement and the
slogan-making of these past years.
Let us not promise what we can
not perform. Farmers will trust
the Democratic party next time
but they will not trust it to per
, form miracles.”
Stevenson in his speech and at
a news conference did not dis
close whether he would seek the
1956 Democratic presidential
nomination.
Speaking on the tax issue, the
former Illinois governor caution
ed against precipitate tax reduc
tion, saying “tax reduction at the
price of safety is not economy.”

New Mining Law
Public Law 167, approved July
23, 1955, was passed by the last
session of Congress and makes the
first important changes in Federal
mining law to be enacted in many
years. It accomplishes the follow
ing principal changes: <1) removes
deposits of common varieties of
sand, gravel, stone, pumice, cin
ders, etc., from under the mining
laws so that they may no longer
be staked as such, but must be
leased; T2) prevents the use of
unpatented claims for any pur
pose other than prospecting and
mining or uses related thereto;
(3) guarantees access by Federal
agencies for management of tim
ber or other surface resources on
unpatented claims if such access
does not interfere with legitimate
mining operations; and, (4) pro
vides a procedure for clearing up
false or unsupported mining i
claims on Federal land.
The new law does not affect
claims located prior to July 23,
1955 except for possible limita
tion of rights which may result
from hearings which must be duly
publicized well in advance. Also
the new law can not interfere
with patented claims, regardless
of date of patent.
With regard to sand and gravel,
etc., a claim may still be located
where some other valuable min-1
eral occurs in or associated with |
sand or gravel deposit. “Common
varieties” as used in the Act does j
not include deposits of such mat- j
erials which are valuable because
the deposit has some property
giving it distinct and special
value.

Estimates Gladly Given
Truman Indicates
He May Support
Harriman In 1956
ALBANY, N.Y., MV—Harry Tru
man said Saturday that Gov. Av
erell Harriman of New York “has
all the qualifications” to make a
good president.
The former President added
quickly, however, “I could say
the same about several others.”
With Harriman sitting beside
him, Truman made the state
ments at a news conference in
the executive mansion.
In the past six months Truman
has said at least four times he
would support Adlai E. Stevenson,
former governor of Illinois, for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination in 1956.
However, he repeatedly de
clined to comment when asked
whether he favored any specific
candidate. He was not asked to
reconcile his present non-commit
tal attitude with his previous de
finite statements.
He asserted, however, if he
were a resident of New York
State, “I know who I’d be for.”
He said he was referring to Har
riman.
Asked whether he could say the
same if he were a citizen of Illin
ois, Stevenson’s home state, Tru
man replied:
“There are three -or four good
men in the state of Illinois . .
Truman declined to comment
on a columnist’s statement he had
confided to close friends he felt
a ticket headed by Harriman and
Estes Kefauver would be the
strongest for the 1956 presidential
race.
The former President, address
ing a giant pre-campaign rally,
told 2,000 party candidates for
local office: “Go home and fight
with all you have for the prin
ciples of the Democratic party.”
Cured TB Patients
May Live Longer
Than Others
Having tuberculosis—and being
cured of it—may actually mean a
longer life for a person than he
would have had if he had never
had TB, an insurance physician
reports.
Dr. Harry E. Ungerleder of New i
York said this is one of the in
dications from one of the most
detailed insurance studies ever
made of life expectancy among
people having physical “impair
ments” ranging from heart disease
down to the history of sunstroke
or heat prostration.
The physician told the Ameri
can College of Physicians that the
recent analysis involved studies of
the records of 725,000 insured in
dividuals and 18,000 deaths in
some 132 “impairment” classi
fications. The findings are based
upon the experience of 27 insur-!
ance compaines.
Concerning tuberculosis, the
doctor said the survey showed
that if a person survives five
years after his TB has been ar
rested, the possibility of death is
no greater than it would be for
the average of people of the same
age.
“And ten years after arrest,
mortality becomes appreciably
less than average,” he said. “It
appears that the discipline accom
panying cure of this disease pays
dividends to the tuberculosis in
dividual in training him to safe
guard his health in the future.”
Fairbanksans Want a Dog
Catcher But There’s No
Money Anywhere For Him
FAIRBANKS, (#> — Ctizens of
Fairbanks want a dog catcher be
cause, they said, so many aban
doned dogs are running wild they
constitute a menace.
But when Joel Buffington, pres
ident of the Fairbanks Safety
Council took the matter up with
Gov. Frank Heintzleman Friday,
he found the territory has no
money to pay for a dog catcher.
He also learned the dog catching
duties in the territory are charged
to Tax Commissioner Karl Dewey.
But Dewey hasn’t any funds for
that purpose, either. The gover
nor promised to work on the
problem.

John Noel, 50, Yakima, Friday for
$100,000 damages he said he suf
fered when beaten up and ejected
from a local restaurant.
Noel asked the damages of Wil
bur Irving, owner of the night

merely requested to leave quietly.
Rare Blood Disease
Discovered Among
Eskimos, Indians
ANCHORAGE — A rare blood
disease has been discovered
among Alaska Eskimos and In
dians it was revealed recently. In
vestigations by Dr. Edward Scott,
biochemist of the Arctic Health
Research Center, show a disease
that is seldom found in the United
; States may be quite common
| among natives of Alaska.
I Although methemoglobinemia it
i self may be harmless, its import-,
ance lies in the fact that it is
easily confused with serious heart
| conditions, according to Dr. Scott.
“In a person with methemo
globinemia,” Dr. Scott reports,
1 “the normal hemoglobin (red cor
puscles) of the blood is replaced
by an abnormal pigment known
ag methemoglobin. This gives the
lips and fingernails a bluish color;
such as that associated with some
forms of heart disease.
The condition is believed to be‘
inherited, but it is so rare that
little definite information about
the - disease is available.
Two native children in the
Bethel Alaska Native Health Ser~
vice Hospital were found to have
methemoglobinemia.
