Albert Eistein Executor
Convicted of Contempt
Of U.S. Congress
WASHINGTON, UR—Dr. Otto
Nathan,
j Albert Einstein, was convicted
Tuesday of contempt of Congress.
Federal District Judge Edward
M. Curran rejected all defense
contentions, including one that
the House Committee on Un
American Activities which ques
tioned Nathan lacked juridsiction
to legislate in the field of pass
ports.
Nathan appeared before the
committee last June during hear
ings which Chairman Walter sai<l
were to investigate fraudulent
procurement and misuse of Amer
ican passports.
Among questions which Nathan, I
German-born associate professor
of economics at New York Uni
versity, refused to answer, was
whether he then was or ever had
been a member of the Communist
Party. He challenged the com
1 mittee’s jurisdiction and said the
' First Amendment to the Consti
j tution protected him against be
' | ing compelled to answer questions
j about his political beliefs and as
j sociations.

Joe the Beaver
Probably Died of
Broken Heart
UMATILLA, Ore., UPi—Joe the
Beaver is dead and his myriad
fans are convinced a broken heart
cut short the career of the gritty
little dam-builder.
Joe was the industrious rodent
that made the news in recent
weeks by his stubborn attempts
to build his own dam as an ad
junct to McNary Dam, a mighty
concrete structure spanning the
Columbia River here.
Day after day Joe gnawed down
shoreside saplings and collected
debris trying to add his own little
bit to man’s best efforts. Joe’s en
gineering problem was that he
chose the McNary Dam locks as
the site of his dam—and each
time the locks opened to permit
passage of a vessel, there went
Joe’s dam.
Undaunted, Joe would start
out again from scratch.
About two weeks ago, tho, lock
attendants reported that Joe, fi
nally discouraged apparently had
abandoned his project end headed
downstream behind a tug.
But the story had another chap
ter.
Joe came back and started all
over again—this time from the
downstream side of the dam. But
once more Joe was doomed to
failure. Each Joe-built dam was
washed away by the rush of wat
er from behind the giant lock
gates.
A few days ago, attendants
found Joe’s body floating in a
shallow pool alongside McNary’s
lock guardwall. Heartbreak, they
opined; one failure too many.

Airline Still In Business
Even Without Airplane
PHILADELPHIA, UP»—Quaker
City Airlines is still in business,
its owner insisted today, even tho
it’s temporarily without an air
plane. ,
Owner-President Herbert Suss
man went to Washington to make
sure the CAB didn’t take his
little company off its books.
“We had to sell our lone DC-3
transport to buy a larger plane,”
Sussman explained. “Because our
replacement wasn’t immediately
available we didn’t turn in any
operating reports . . .”
Sussman said the one-plane
airline had had a perfect safety
record since its founding in 1948.
