By LEWIS HANEY Professor of Economics, New Fork University You may remember the old one about "if the dog hadn't stopped he wouk have caught the rabbit." This Is the way It is with the arguments put out by the interests that want us to build a St. Lawrence Seaway. These arguments are all "if" arguments, and are based on impossible assumptions. It is like saying, that "if" communists were full of Christian spirit and desired peace and freedom, communism would be all right.

If the so-called seaway were a necessary part of the St. Lawrence power development It might be worth considering. The power of the international rapids is worth developing. But that can be done without any seaway, Just as we developed Niagara Falls power without any seaway. The first point in straight thinking is to keep the power part separate.

If the so-called seaway would be open and usable an tne tune, might be worth considering. But the fact is that In some years it would be frozen solid for four months and in other years for five months. It WHild be an leeway over one-third of the time. Why don't the "seaway" advocates tell us what they would do with it between December and, April? If the so-called seaway were not mbed it might be of some small use in connection with defense. But crnals and canal locks are among the most vulnerable objects of attack and are easily put out of com Trial Bares Red Revolt Plan In U.

S. DETROIT, Nov. 20-(AP)-Tesfl-mony that Moscow schools instructed American CommuniBts to seize the President in event of a U. S. revolution is in the record today in Detroit' Bed conspiracy trial.

It got there over heated objections of all six admitted Communist defendants. It was put there by William ODell Novtell, a former Communist and one-time Moscow student, yesterday. NowelL now a consultant for the the Immigration and Naturalization Service, aaid Moscow students from the United States also were Instructed to seize the cabinet and hold members as hostages in a revolution. While he has appeared in several other Communist conspiracy trials. Nowell aaid he never before had tes tified about a plot to capture the President and cabinet.

Saul Wellman, a defendant acting as his own attorney, demanded a mistrial, claiming Nowell's testimony gave defendants no chance to refute the witness' statements. Federal Judge Frank A. Picard denied Wellman's motion and one by Ernest Goodman, attorney for three other defendants, asking that Nowell's testimony be stricken from the record. Goodman claimed it was "lnflamatory and prejudicial." The six are being tried on charges of having conspired to advocate and each violent overthrow of the gov ernment Reuther's Entrenched CLEVELAND. Nov.

20 -(AP-Walter P. Reuther was elected with out opposition today to his second term as CIO president, He was elected by acclamation. Reuther, the 46-year-old United Auto Workers unionist, had to en-gag ir. a bitter showdown fight for the office only a year ago after the death of President Philip Murray. Executive Vice-President John V.

Rlffe, Secretary-Treasurer James B. Carey and eight vice presidents also were assured of re-election without a contest. The elections wound up the CIO's opposiuon typuiea tne control which President Reuther and his administration has over the CIO's five million members. FOB GROWTH INVEST IN would be weakened. What would we do if a bomb were dipped on the so-called seaway? If it were needed or desired by commercial shipping companies, it would be used and therefore use ful But years of study and test! mony prove that only a very small part of them want the so-called seaway or could use it.

The limlta tions include Inadequate size, length of the route and navigation risks. Outside of Canada, only a few local itterests want it, plus the government spenders. If the so-called seaway would pay for Itself, we could afford to build it. But it could not possibly pay for Itself, because rates that would cover costs would be generally prohibitive. If it would cost only $1 billion or less, as alleged, we might consider it carefully.

But the big cost would come in developing the Great Lakes channels and ports and would run InW untold billions, Including waste and graft. If we were in good financial posi tion and could stand more the so-called seaway scheme might still be considered. With a $9 billion deficit and a record debt, we can't afford to look at it. Finally, if the thing were a real seaway, but it couldnt possibly be that, it would be fresh water and that freezes solid. It couldn't be used by most seagoing ships.

And if Canada really wants to build the canal part, by all means let her do it. The St. Lawrence is mostly in Canada. TSeiv York Stocks TNoon Market Am. Tel it Tel Anac Cop Beth Stl Briggs Mfg Budd Co Cdn Pac Case JI Chrysler Curtlss Wr .155 .31 49 3SM ..11.

THE EXPLANATION was printed in Pennsylvania Dutch dialect which Herb translated this way: "The reader must be reminded that during the long-continued Indian wars the settlers enjoyed no peace except in the winter season during which Indians were unable to raid the settlement. "The onset of winter weather was therefore hailed as a Jubilee, a time at which the settlers could come out of the forts and not be subjected to the danger of Indian raids. "It sometimes happened that after the apparent onset of winter the weather became warm. This was Indian summer because it gave the Indians an opportunity to make surprise raids on the settlements and wage destructive warfare; "The melting of the snow in Indian summed saddened every countenance and the genial warmth of the sun chilled every heart. The fear of Indian attacks again gripped the little settlements- Herb does research In these old almanacs and then forecasts long range weather conditions from the material therein.

He does a good Job too. One of his recent prognostications was the accurate forecast of an uncommonly early winter storm in 1 a.
