That's commend- making an investment in your commu- able. It points to an awakening of in- nity. You are putting capital into a terest'in the needs of the community business organization which represents and the necessity for collective action to keep the wheels of progress rolling.

Sixty, however, is nearly enougte'-lt must be several times that number if the Chamber is to become the 'really effective organization it should be. Remember, the Chamber of Commerce is the community's business organization, the community's salesman. It is the voice of the community the life and well-being of the community. If you expect to make Oil City your home, if you link your future to this community, there is no question about whether or not you should join the Chamber of Commerce. You simply can't afford not to join.

By investing in the Chamber, you are securing your own future. It's Time To Slow Them Down A move is reported under way to trim the claws of some of the splinter organizations of'. the United Nations which have a habit every once in a while of causing cold chills to chase and down your spine with some of their fantastic proposals. 'Such, groups-as the International Labor Organization, the Food and -Agricultural Organization, and the Scientific and Cultural Organization continually have been grabbing for more power--and more money to put across their one- worlder ideas. Incidentally, that more money would be largely coin of the U.S.A.

Now we hear Preston Hotchkis, new delegate' to the U. N. Economic and Social Council, is spearheading a move to curb these special agencies. He has the endorsement of the chief U. S.

delegate Henry Cabot Lodge. Revision of the U.N. charter even is being considered if necessary to accomplish the desired end. We hope the move is successful. Better to fence in these power-hungry special units before they get out of control.

They could of trouble if they got their hooks into the internal affairs of the United States as they'd like to do. H. I.

The Race, And The Goal Census experts say that our population in 1975-should be around 200 million or more persons.

That's a prediction that warrants sober thought and planning. Huge populations are a liability rather than an-asset if they are nonproductive and without equipment or resources; That is where capital comes into the picture which the-experts paint goods and" equipment on a large The labor force in 1975 is expected to be around 88 million--a third larger than it'is today. If this proves correct, it means that jobs must be created for 22 million new workers, most of them" in business 'and industry. There is a $12,000 investment behind the average job in America today. This means we'll-need around'264 billion dollars of new investment by 1975 to provide productive jobs increased work force.

So here's the 264 billion dollars question: Will government costs and' taxes be cut enough to permit the saving and investment needed for the future? That is a fervent hope, for the benefit of "the goal to be won and the generations to come. Westbrook Pegler -Rabelais Of Era Of Wonderful Nonsense Banishes Dull A senate Judiciary Subcommittee has been holding hearings on a bill to prohibit any brewery own-- ing a big-league ball dub. We are against it. A radio and TV baseball addict, we have become so accustomed to beer in the play-byplay reports that we would be lost in a crucial series in which malt and hops'played no part in the complete box score. We have reached a point where we can name offhand all the brews involved in baseball, tell the league they are in, state which beers are the 1954 contenders and name the plants that have been traded during the winter.

At the tip of our tongue is the batting average of almost every big brewery in the country and we can tell you when each one entered the league, what clubs it has played with during its career and how it stood at the close of Lhe previous season. We often get bored wilh telecast ball games but never with telecast lager and ale. If a game is featured by bad performances by the players on both sides it is nice to know that the breweries are in fine form and playing great ball. (We recall listening to a big-league game-' in which one team was out ahead by 14 runs in the third, and it was nice to' forget the play-by-play and just get the bottle-by-bottle description of what chemical research was doing for the beer that would bring happiness to mother and the kiddies.) xx Our "legs are kept in condition each summer by obedience to the appeals to "run now to the icebox." In many a game halted by rain our interest has been held by the top regional beer distributors being interviewed on their sales, their hobbies and their family lives. As each new baseball season arrives we find it fascinating to note which beer salesmen have been waived out of the league, how many distributors have been benched and just which bottlers are hold-outs.

At times, of course, it gets a little confusing. (We once called up a shortstop for a case of beer and cried, "Take that pitcher out and put a head on It is ea.sy to understand how it happened that those bandits who got $11,000 in a New York department store couldn't find their way out of the store. They probably got caught between the book counter selling whodunits and the department having a bargain sale cf "Dragnet" recordings Dablyn Crymes, our favorite detective, has completed his probe into that bomb that exploded in the washroom at Grand Central Station. He says it was a revenge job by a fellow who resented washroom coin slots. Porfirio Rubirosa has been.offered a part with Zsa Zsa Gabor in a Hollywood movie.

There will he no request from Eabs Hutton for his' autograph. "Use No Hooks" has been completely ignored by New York dock workers in' lis application to the American judicial system, the welfare of a great city, the interest of the general pubh'c and the ancient American tradition abiding by decisions. Dr. George W. Crane Ulcer Is Fraternity Badge Of Go-Getters In Competitive Era Case "aged 37, is an executive of General Electric.

"Dr. Crane, I have a stomach ulcer," he spoke morosely. "I've tried medicines, but my doctor now says he can't do anything more for me. He prescribes a big dose of psychology. But how can I use psychology to correct my ulcer? "I've had it since college.

I got it trying to average at Purdue. And it has grown worse since I've had to meet production deadlines. My wife says she can hardly stand me at times, and I think secretary would rate me as a 'bearcat." So please help me." Actually, America needs more people with ulcers. For an ulder is the fraternity badge of a person who carries responsibilities. Ulcer patients are usually the go-getter type.who meet the deadlines and accomplish most of the good of the world.

Too many Americans are so listless and improvident that they never get an ulcer. So would that we had more ulcer victims in the U. S. A. Newspaper bosses of various sorts and those in positions of responsibility for meeting deadlines, often join the ulcer fraternity.

I have had a peptic ulcer for years. It is my best prod toward accomplishment. Fm proud of it. However, if it makes a "bearcat" of you at the office and an old grouch at home, then here are some suggestions for relieving the pain-. Always carry some alkali with you, such as soda, to reduce the burn of gastric acid when it meets the eroded spot on the stomach wall.

Normally, the stomach is painted with mucus, which prevents the hydrochloric acid from dissolving the flesh. But ultimately an eroded spot may appear, as from constant swallowing of tobacco juice, or from local infection, a fish bone stuck in the stomach wall, etc. And if you are a dynamic, tense type of personality, your stomach will secrete more acid than is true" of the average sluggish person. So you can stop the ulcer pain by neutralizing the acid with protein foods, plus alkali powders. And you'll sleep more soundly if you take some of these once or twice during the night.

A second treatment is to relieve the excess mental tension. Don't be so competitive in life. Be more placid. Vegetate between crises. Each night make a daily agenda of tomorrow's duties.

List big tasks as well as minor ones. Then cross them off as you get -them finished. Use a colored pencil to impress your ego, as I do. And When you get done, then don't anticipate the problems of the next day too much. Wait till morning to.start on the duties of that day's agenda.

If you husbands and wives are tense, then learn how to obtain relaxation via proper martial relations. The latter are the best nerve sedative we doctors can prescribe. Carry adequate insurance so you don't- need fret about the financial future. Join the "Compliment Club" to stave off being a "bearcat" boss. And by all means team up with God Almighty in an active partnership.

Then at bedtime He will take over the night shift while you sink into deeper, more restful slumber. If your Spring and Autumn flareups grow too painful, limit your total fluid intake to one glass (8-oz.) for a couple of days. That always stops my ulcer pain, apparently by drying up the acid secretion. PALM BEACH As I was rushing for the-plane, a de luxe 'production which ran into heavy weather and lost an engine within the first hour, I bundled up a batch of mail which included further memoirs of Charlie Porter, Rabelais era of wonder- ful nonsense -in Denver. This helped while away an extra 90 minutes which more than frustrated the dreams some 66 gullible travelers of a flight on a rr.agic carpet with coy sprites administering euphoria somewhere, 'twLxt heaven and earth, off Hat- leras.

Thus there, was an incident at the Denver Press Club on a Thursday night, two days from pay-day, when a knee-sprung braggart -came in picking his teeth with- a quill bearing the stamp of the'Manhat- tan cafe and boasting that a prospector from Cripple Creek with a pound of nuggets had bought him not only a Manhattan t-bpnc, as big as a bathmat, but an order of hothouse tomatoes as Mr. Porter said succinctly: "You are a liar." However, that pleasantry passed, did Charlie get to grips with, the wretch until a third party pulled out a pint of forty-rod rye and the gourmet remarked offhand: "For a bet of a dollar, come payday, I can drink that halfway down without taking a breath." Mr. Porter raded him and the issue was joined. "He was within one last plug of winning that buck," Mr. Porter Gays, "when his eyes rolled up.

He cays that in his newspaper days he never was a "writer" but just a reporter who could put into terse and sensible words the plain fact that an unidentified man was found. frozen to death in a Grand Trunk boxcar down in yards.

He yearns for a book to be done by a "writer" on the harmless spontaneities- of the inspired cult of kids, gentlemen of the finest instincts, even scholars, and bums of the lowest, who chased fire engines and stole family pictures off the walls of homes in Denver where disaster had struck. But nobody knows as many these little things as Charlie Porter does green and he went down in an offensive heap. We called the police station and soon the patrol wagon came with a sergeant, a cop and a doctor. They put a stomach pump to work on his worthless scoundrel. I had never wavered in my firm conviction that he was deceiving us about this t-bone rare and hothouse tomatoes.

Now I was vindicated. All that pump brought up was 15 cents worth of Chinese noodles." I came to Palm Beach for the wedding of two cherished friends, Mrs. Frances Uihlein, of Milwaukee, to Bill Pfeiffer, our ambassador to the Dominican Republic, who somehow got'elected to Congress as a Republican from the Gashouse District on the East Side of New York although he did not reside in the district nor, officially, in New York. I have been told by they share my unholy and almost irresistible im-. pulse at weddings to profane the sacrament and create awful confusion by hollering "yes" when the is put -whether anyone present knows any reason why these twain should not be joined together.

But this was.a subdue4 problem on this happy evening at the Everglades Club, for I was victim to a mischievous reminiscence from Charlie Porter which had lasted me "well down below Jacksonville in the troublesome dark of the night Charles had recalled an outing among the South Side, speaks in the age of Al Capone when a sport writer among our group, a pudgy character but outspoken to an offensive degree, had somehow incurred a designing female with a horrible determination to espouse him. To'all concerned this seemed a rather good idea at the time so they piled into a cab and drove to the home of a justice at Crown Point, where such traffic was part of the regular local commerce. "They got the old bum -out of bed," Mr. Potter relates, "and he got out his license-book, certif- cates and stuff and stood facing the happy couple in the parlor of his home.

Here we have probable libel and slander suit" coming out of Senator McCarthy's office and directed against authors of sustained criticisms of his personal life.

Serious-minded leaders of both parties are pleading with the contestants to forget the idea that lie detectors should be used when the important witnesses take the stand to testify in the conflict between the Army on the one side and Senator McCarthy, his subcommittee's legal counsel Roy M. Cohn, and his fojmer assistant, Fvt. G. David Schine, on the other. All agree that television and radio and press and newsreel should be used for this dramatic session when accusation and denial come face to face.

But the nf a world audience looting on the Secretary of the U. S. Army, a U. S. Senator, the chief counsel of the Army and all the lesser figures wearing the involved apparatus to -test their breath, blood pressure, sweat and muscular tension while they answer questions under oath and in public is too rich a diet even in this exhibitionist world.

On this question of McCarthy filing suit for civil or criminal libel or both, the question has been privately discussed for months. The advice to this point has been, don't asle your time or money. The reason is that the great body of the people never take a libel suit filed by a politician seriously--they just put it dcwn to carr.paigr tactics and forget about it. The second argument against the filing of a suit is that any man, politician or not, is foolish to start an action against any person or corporation when he would have little chance to collect a judgment. Hitherto, the charges suggesting an unpleasant relationship among McCarthy, Cohn and Schine have been restricted to a small western paper.

Recently, opponents of McCarthy of long standing have been given national circulation to sly suggestions about "unprintable" statements which, they indicate, have already becn printed. Hence the present attitude of giving serious consideration to legal action. McCarthy's friends have all along been advising him colloquially: "Don't get into a spitting contest with a skunk. People who've known you since you were a pro boxer and a Marine are notgoing to believe this dirt they're now throwing because they hope that after three years they've finally got you in a tough corner. Forget it and don't lose your head, you've got a tough enough fight here in Washington without starting a legal action against a far western publisher who went out there from New York with a bankroll of anti- McCarthy, anti-McCarren money." There it stands as of today.

If the attack continues--and these dirtiest attacks once launched have long lives--the odds are better than even that you will find McCarthy leading a counter-assault in the courts (civil and criminal) which will be something new Senate history.
