PAGE 4 SANDUSKY REGISTER JUNE 19, 19B1 newspaper's past and future are as good as its present is serviceable." The Webs We Spin While we can't exactly condone it, our out to the young Court House clerk whose "little white He" mushroomed into a hoax on her co-workers, (he police department, the newspaper and some thoti- of readers. Showing up for work 10 minutes late, the girl said she'd found a wallet on the sidewalk containing a signed, blank check and $800. She said she turned it over to a policeman standing at the door of the city building. We're sure the girl had no thought beyond a plausible excuse for tardiness on a new job. but once launched, the fib took Wings.

Friends urged her on and the press jumped at the chance to report a "good deed." It wasn't until her statement hit a thoroughly mystified police department that the implications began to sink in. It's reassuring to see the speed and thoroughness with which police acted to investigate any shred of suspicion involving the department. The moral of the story must be obvious to everyone. The Utica Story How a city of 100.000 people saved itself from becoming a ghost town after its 150- year-old textil'e industry began to evaporate with the departure of mill after mill to iouthern climes is told in "The Story of Utica," in Central New York. The article appears in trade papers representative of a unique alliance that put over the city's Telephone Review for employers and The Machinist for the unions that cooperated with them.

By 1952. some 10,000 households found their breadwinners out of work. The city did not run to Washington for help. The business men set out to get new plants, while the unions accepted a job retraining program to fit the displaced workers for the new job opportunities. Every toolmaker and machinist retrained helped to provide jobs for from 10 to 20 additional workers.

The lesson for depressed areas with skilled but displaced workers is clear. While the comrniirnty works to attract new industries, business and workers must set up a retraining program to create a pool of trained employes wi'h which the new industries can begin operations. That not only saves the town but rehabilitates the workers and assures future jobs for their children. How Far, How Fast Under the provocating heading. "How far and how fast." the First National City Bank of New York assays the recovery and points out that since the recent decline ranked among the mildest in the last 40 years, business statistics may begin sotting new records before many months have passed.

A finding in a recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research of past experience cites the fact that recovery to the previous peak was attained in a much shorter time after the moderate contractions than after the severe ones. That is the basis on which the bank predicates the probability that new records may lie set before many months. As to how far the recovery will go, historically periods of business expansion have ranged from 10 to HO months with an average of months. Perhaps the most optimistic deduction the bank letter makes is that by now, it seems reasonable to figure, half the decline In industrial production has been made up. That is a fast and amazingly deep pickup indeed, when it is remembered that the crocodile tears of the calamity howlers have hardly had time to dry.

Sokoltlty Soviet Dilemma Is Created After II years. Justice Felix Frankfurters decision settled the fact that the Communist party is illegitimate in the United States.

The decision upholds the subversive activities control act of 1950. When the Subversive Activities Control Board's order is fulfilled the position of the Communist party and of an individual Communist will indeed be altered. Many sanctions will be applied against Communists, such as they will be ineligible for government employment, they will be unable to hold or receive an American passport: they will not be permitted to work in defense facilities or receive defense information. If they send any propaganda through the mails, they will have to mark it "Communist propaganda In a word, the law not only outlaws the Communist party but it makes of the individual Communist a pariah. While the Frankfurter decision upholds the law per se, it does not go into each detail of sanction.

What the- Communist lawyers face then is the problem of how to prevent this order from becoming final. Under Supreme Court rules, the Communist party has 25 days from June 5 to petition for a rehearing. Now we come into red- tape complications. If the court is in session on June 30, the period when application for a stay may be applied for, the petition for a stay operates as an automatic stay of judgment and there will be six months or more delay before the internal security law can become operative. If the court is in summer recess on June 30, a motion for a rehearing, no matter where filed, will not operate as an automatic stay.

The board's order then becomes final as soon, as the court issues its judgment and awards the case to the Circuit Court, which in normal course will be early in July. The lawyers for the Communist party have to decide what to do to save their members from the drastic sanctions of this law. Gus Hall, the leader of the Communist party, said that the Frankfurter decision requires the Communist party to commit suicide. He announced that the party would soon ask for a stay and a re-hearing. It is to be presumed that a 5-4 decision would continue against the Communists.

Chief Justice Earl Warren voted in favor of the Communist party. If Gus Hall's decision to petition for a re-hearing and stay is carried out shortly, means that the Communist party intends to manoeuvre the situation so that its leaders will have an opportunity to defy the Supreme Court and risk arrest for contempt. At issue immediately would be the registration of the party and the filing of membership lists with the attorney-general. The Communists admit guilt by regarding the filing of lists as being stool pigeons. From a tactical standpoint, the Communists would prefer a stay so that they might have an opportunity to organize fellow- traveller groups as well as doctrinaire liberals to demand that the Communists he given equality with Republicans or Democrats.

This would be of tremendous agitational value. During the cold war, the Communists have lacked a cause as no one could support Khrushchev 's imperialism. The Frankfurter decision gives them a cause. The Communist party, if it petitions for a stay immediately, will not have too much time for martyrdom, but if the Supreme Court sits until July 10, the matter can be heard and decided finally. The Communist party might take advantage of one more technicality.

If the Supreme Court should recess before June 30, the Communist parly might, between the date of the recess of the court and June 30, find a justicp who would be willing to frustrate the action of the court's majority by acting unilaterally to grant a stay pending a decision for a re-hearing. It is difficult to believe that any justice would do that but it could happen, particularly as Chief Justice Karl Warren is so antagonistic to Justice Felix Frankfurter. It is of tremendous interest that Justice Frankfurter should have become the leader of conservative thought on the Supreme Court bench His position is strictly constitutional. The chief justice seems to be embarrassed by the presence of so superior a jurist as Felix Frankfurter among the brethren. It mav vei turn out thai those who for years were critical of Felix Frankfurter have to apologize to him for their error of judgment.

Peter Edson U.S. Learns Vienna Talk Details From Foreign Sources EDSON WASHINGTON Little by little, the news of what really took place at the Kennedy- Khrushchev Vienna talks is coming out. The distressing thing about this is that the news is not coming from American officials, except in general terms. PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S BROADCAST to the nation after his return from Europe had the tone of warning the American people of worse yet to come.

But it did not provide specific whys and wherefores. They have a to come from other sources, a 11 foreign and mostly Russian. This has raised a serious question in Washington: Why didn't the President take the American people into his confidence and tell them the whole, detailed story, first? On the same day Kennedy returned to Washington it'was revealed in London, of all places, that Khrushchev had handed him in Vienna a note on the German situation. Kennedy made no mention of this in his broadcast that night. The British, who are pretty good at leaking significant news, spilled the beans on this one after the President reported it to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

And from the West German capital in Bonn, the story cabled back to the United States was that Kennedy and Khrushchev had exchanged memoranda setting forth their views on Germany. If Khrushchev was indeed handed a note on the German situation by Kennedy, the text of it has not been given to the American people as this i.s written. But the text of the Khrushchev note on Germany has now been made public by the Russian news agency, Tass, in Moscow. So once again the American people have had to get their news of what went on in Vienna from foreign sources. THE STORY IN WASHINGTON is that the Russian note is being studied and that a reply will be made later.

Kennedy intimated this in his broadcast when he said, "Mr. Khrushchev presented his views in detail and his presentation will be the subject of further communications." They may be released before this gets into print. But an intelligent interpretation can be made now only in the light of the Moscow text. The justification offered for this procedure is that the President may not have wanted to scare the American people. "Generally," said the President, "Mr.

Khrushchev did not talk in terms of war." That was the theme. No threats, no ultimatums. BUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID NOT TELL the American people was that Khrushchev's Vienna note, made public in Moscow by Tass, had proposed the calling of a peace conference "without delay" to settle the German and Berlin questions. As an alternate, Khrushchev offered to let East and West Germany make their own peace agreement within a period of six months. If that too, failed, the Russians would make their own separate treaty.

It is from New York Times correspondent Sydney Gruson in Bonn, Germany again, not from Washington that the American people finally learn this proposal was rejected by Kennedy. This report is based on information said to have been given the North Atlantic Treaty Council in Paris by Secretary of State Dean Rusk. What this emphasizes is that the Russians again did their homework before going into conference, as should have been anticipated. The Russians knew exactly what they wanted. Khrushchev had it all written out in two long memoranda the German note and another on disarmament, nuclear test bans and the control of international organizations.

These memoranda are now being given world-wide Communist propaganda circulation. ONCE AGAIN AMERICAN DIPLOMACY has been caught on the defensive, answering Russian notes as best it can from the embarrassing position of having its striped pants around its ankles. And the American people have not been kept as fully informed as they should have been, by their own leaders. Dr. Harold Hyman Taking Aspirin Without Distress Why do you insist on recommending plain aspirin when various manufacturers present evidence that purified preparations cause less stomach distress and buffered products act faster? A The Federal Trade Commission has just issued an order forbidding the claims you mention.

If you will powder the ordinary aspirin tablet between two spoons (aspirin is a pure chemical, hence no one product differs from all others) and then wash the powder down with a glass of warm water, a cup of tea or coffee or a drink of your favorite carbonated beverage, you'll get maximum action with minimum discomfort. I was married 10 years before my first child was born. Before I became pregnant, I had a tesl in which oil was forced through my lubes after which rays were taken. Since ihen, 1 read that even a small amount of radiation will harm the reproductive organs and cause deformities or even cancers in children conceived a tier exposure. Why then do doctors recommend and perform these tests if they can cause serious disturbances later? A small doses required for diagnostic X-rays do not expose children to lhe hazards you've read about.

An English study of 39.166 children, born to mothers who had necessary diagnostic radiation, showed that few er children suffered leukemia, for example, than was the expectancy according to national mortality statistics. However, (his does not justify unnecessary exposure of radiation from whatever source. Since, in the case of our correspondent, the tesl was more than a mere diagnostic exercise and because it resulted in desired impregnation, the negligible risk appears to have been more than justified.

Actually, the expression is no more meaningful than to say "a bit touched in the head." In practice, paranoia is used in the sense of ideas or delusions of persecution. Hence it indicates a description of a symptom, not of a specific disease. Now paranoid ideas are common to many of us.

Many youngsters, bringing home bad report cards, attribute their low grades to a teacher "who has it in for them." Many of us who drive in traffic become convinced that there's a little man in the control lower who flashes the red light whenever we approach a crossing. And then, at the other extreme, there are those with true mental diseases, such as schizophrnia, who "hear voices" telling them to attack or even kill those whom they imagine to be enemies of themselves, their families or their country. If we were to try to institutionalize all those of us who have mildly paranoid ideas, we'd face an impossible task. Yet if we failed to protect ourselves and our communities from the really sick with paranoid delusions, we'd expose many innocent persons to unjustified disturbances ranging from mere nuisances to bodily harm. Hence, you see.

it takes more than the mere descriptive term of paranoia to determine what's best to do with the individual person. Investment Company Act Marks 21st Year NEW YORK (UPl) the act governing the overall dtfet of Investment companies became what would be legal age in young man or this year and a study released today showed how such companies have grown and changed in that time. The 1981 edition of "Investment Companies." a 460-page book giving information on 348 U. S. and Canadian funds, out today, noted that investment company assets have grown from $1,081,548,000 in 1940 to $18,800,494,000 in 1960; that the number of shareholder may include grown from less than 300,000 at the end of 1940 to nearly 5 million at the end of 1960.

Just as the interests of a young person change in their progress toward maturity, so have some of the interests of the investment companies in their selection of stocks for their portfolios, the book disclosed. And Arthur Wiesenberger, senior partner of a firm which bears his name and published the book, sees the growth of the investment company continuing. He said he believed the last 21 years "was just a warming-up period for the greater growth still ahead." Recalling investment companies' assets today are approaching the $20 billion mark, he feels that by 1980 "it could easily be a $100 billion industry." The publication summarized the expanding interests of some investment companies into fields not "RED" REGISTER To the Editor of the Register: What I saw on the front page of last night's Register seemed like something you would see on the front page of the Daily Worker. It is bad enough that the flags should be put out in inclement weather and to be deliquent in retrieving the broken flags, but to see pictures of the fallen banners under the headline, "What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming" is downright disgusting. I suggest that something be done to remedy this terrible piece of news or the Register i.s going to lose some subscribers if this sort of thing continues.
