McCarthys investigating subcommittee waved ah olive branch today at the three Democrats who quit the group last week. They let it be known that would happily welcome the Democrats back if they Supervisors Okay County Offices Plan The go-ahead signal on plans for county offices in Oxnard was given today by county supervisors and the little court-louse prqject now depends orimarily on the $275,000 bond issue for an Oxnard city jail, to be voted upon by C-narjl citizens Aug. 11.

Supervisors voted to include $77,000 in the 1953-M budget for the project. Of that total, $12,000 will be used to exercise he countys option on the office site and $65,000 will be set aside for construction of a second floor atop the city jail and notice station. The city will have to provide the $275,000 for the first floor which will house the jail and police station. The second 'floor is expected to cost the county 125,000. D- the board bud'ted only half of the figure due to octofipn that controtion will not be under- way during the 1053-54 fiscal year.

If the Oxnard bond issue fails the county board will have to rearrange its construction plans. S-, II II II 11 II members. However, Mundt emphasized that he was not making any promises or concessions as an inducement to the Democrats to return. He said he was speaking only for himself but was confident the other three Republicans felt the same way. This development came as the subcommittee prepared for its first open hearing since the three Democrats resigned last Friday in protest against J.

B. Matthews charge of Communism against Protestant clergymen. The group called more authors whose works have been used at the state departments overseas library program. The scheduled witnesses included Harvey OConnor, who refused to testify until forced to do so by formal subpena, and Leo Huberman. OConnor is the author of Mellons Milions and other biographies of American mil- -lionaires.

Huberman wrote Mans Worldly Goods, We, The People, and America, Incorporated. Meanwhile, McCarthy said he would give the FBI his preliminary findings on a case hq said involved a shakedown by former state department officials of an unnamed friendly foreign nation. The Wisconsin Republican said the shakedown involved payment of $150,000 to the persons involved PILOTS OF LOST AIRLINER Pilot William Word (left) of San Leandro and co-pilot Leonard H.

(W Patriotic West Berliners in a tiny border sector seized the initiative in the battle of butter today and sold fresh fruit and milk to thousands of hungry Communist zone residents at special cut-rate prices. East Berliners, whose Communist masters denied them free food offered by President Eisenhower, rushed across the border in such numbers that the sDecial mobile stores sold out in the first hour and new supplies had to be rushed to them.

Communist police did not interfere, apparently out of fear of touching off another June 17 revolt. The sale, in the American sector of Krensberg on the very edge of the east-west border, was designed to show the United States at least one way food could be gotten to East Germany. Borough Mayor Willi Kress-man opened four large mobile food stores stocked with fruits and milk in Oranienplatz, some yards from the border. Kreuz-berg originally planned to sell the food only to residents of 11 East Berlin streets on its border, but so many persons from ether parts of East Berlin appeared that he threw the sale open to alL East Berliners were offered their choice of either five oranges or two pounds of cherries. In addition, they could buy two pints of milk each.

Oranges went to the East Berliners for less than one cent apiece; two pounds of cherries cost them six cents; a pint of milk cost abont 10 cents. One old German woman fondled her five oranges and counted them over and over. This is unbelievable. she said, I havent had an grange in years. Both Moscow and the German Communist regime had indignantly denied any food shortages existed in the Soviet zone.

Communist border guards in permitting the East Berlin residents to bring their food purchases into the Soviet sector reversed previous practices. In the past the police confiscated even the smallest quantity of food and sometimes they went as far as to take shoes bought in the west off the feet of their East Berlin purchasers. In Bonn, American officials for the second straight day discussed means of making available to the hungry East Germans the food offered by Mr. Elsenhower. The Americans today named Kenneth Dayton, deputy director of the high commissions political affairs office, as food coordinator.

The food problem also was discussed last night by U. S. High Commissioner James B. Conant and Walter Hallstein, West German secretary of state for foreign affairs. Train Hits Scout, Cuts Off Left Arm LEITH, Nev.

(U.R) A 15-year-old Wisconsin Boy Scouts left arm was severed at the shoulder today when he was hit by a train after he fell off the rear of a special train headed for the Boy Scout Jamboree in California. Roger Swenson, Hayward, was identified as the injured youth by Union Pacific railroad officials and authorities at the Scout Jamboree in Newport Beach, Swenson was struck by the westbound City of Los Angeles. Authorities said the hoy probably fell from the rear of a special Scout Jamboree train that preceded the City of Los Angeles over the tracks. The City of Los Angeles was unable to stop until it had traveled a mile beyond where the boy was hit. A third train, also a Scout special, picked up Swenson and brought him to las Vegas Memorial hospital.

In addition to the severed arm, Swensons right arm and both legs were broken. He also was suffering from severe shock. That Dentists Use Hypnosis By L. BOYD FINCH THERES something new in dentists offices these days and I dont mean red-haired receptionists. The "newness is hypnodontics.

Hypnodontics is a fancy word referring to the use of hypnosis in dentistry. A dozen dentists in Ventura county have gotten together to study, practice and use hypnosis in dentistry, and theyre quite enthused about it. Its proving helpful to both patients and dentists. After taking instruction in hypnodontics from a trained psychologist, the dentists are now continuing their study in a newly-formed organization with a high falutin name: The Sierra Vista Academy for the Advancement of Hypnodontics. They are affiliated with the American Hypnodontic society.

The dentists list six benefits to the patient: 1. Relaxation. 2. Removal of fear of dental procedures. 3.

Removal of objections necessary appliances and treatments. 4. Removal of anxiety. 5. Prevention of gagging.

6. Keeping the patient comfort during long appoint ments. lutEMBERS of the SVAAH are 1 studying hypnosis only for use in dentistry. Theyre not interested in learning psychiatric analysis and they condemn dem onstrations of hypnosis for public entertainment. Under hypnosis, they report, it is possible with most people either to eliminate all pain or to modify it greatly.

In some cases no drug anesthetic may be needed; in others a much smaller dose is required. Hypnosis also can prevent gagging and nausea, stop saliva flow and control bleeding. The dentists say a person under hypnosis is not unconscious; he hears everything said and is always aware of what is going on. No one will do anything under hypnosis against his will unless the patient wants to do what the dentist suggests, the patient wont do it. JYPNOSIS takes time.

Sometimes the patient must see the dentist two or three times before he can relax and let hypnosis help him. For the dentist it is a matter of getting the patient to concentrate while the dentist gives suggestions about relaxing. i-A few persons are somnambulists and when hypnotized theyre so relaxed that they dont need anesthesia. Most peo pie arent that lucky, but nearly everyone can have the ordeal of a session in the dentists chair eased by hypnosis. Even children can be hypnotized if they are able to concentrate generally this is at the ap of eight or nine years, but it may be considerably younger in some cases.

Some-, dentists have used a part of the technique of hypnosis for rfiany years without fully understanding its methods or uses or even realizing that their relaxation suggestions were a type of hypnosis. Now, with hypnodontics being studied by dentists throughout the country, the techniques are better understood and used. Its new enough, though, that the dentists art just a bit concerned about the publics introduction to the subject. They dont want their patients expecting them to appear in black tie and tux looking as if they were the second act on the bill a't the Palace. Hypnodontics is strictly professional the dental profession.

(U.R) A San Diego Union reporter said today information he uncovered while in Latin America was the basis of charges made by Sen.

Joseph R. McCarthy that a bribe was paid to former state department officials by a friendly foreign nation. Gene Fuson said in an article in the Union that a leader of the anti-Communist movement in Latin America gave him information leading to records of a $150,000 extortion by CJ.S. state department officials for special diplomatic consideration of a Latin American -country. Mlkt On Vx Ventura High Swimming Pool Due July 24 THE new swimming pool at Ventura high school will be completed July 24, unless a walkout of plumbers, which started yesterday, delays the job stiU further.

That report was given the high school board of trustees last night. Business Manager Ralph Raitt said he didnt think absence of the plumbers would delay completion too much, as most work of that kind has been done. Hiring ef six summer school teachers precipitated a discussion over one of them, James Angwln. Board member Richard D. Willett said he could not conscientiously vote for Angwins employment because he did not think he had done a good job of directing last springs senior high school play.

District Superintendent Dr. John B. Crossley defended Ang-win, pointing, out that he had carried on the whole job single-handedly. He said double-casting for the play contributed to its difficulties. The board ended up by voting approval of all the teachers, with Willett abstaining.

The board considered slight changes in next years budget, which now totals $2,106,986 and directed Its publication. Public hearing was set for Aug. 5. The tax rate is scheduled to increase from 99 cents to a maximum of $1.10. The districts assessed valuation has increased from $176,291,050 to $182,534,970, the board was informed.

Final Stocks NEW YORK. (U.R) Stocks rallied from their lows late in todays session after an early decline to new lows since June 24. Trading fell off sharply in the third hour but gradually crept up near vesterdays total near the close. Stocks were the last of several markets to get into action on the upside. The bull market in hogs continued and cattle had a sharp rise.

Commodities moved up under the lead of wheat which closed up as much as 2Vfc cents a bushel. Bonds rallied and U. S. governments netted small gains in the over-the-counter market. There was nothing definite in the news to bring a recovery, any more than there was a change in events to send prices down yesterday.

One favorable market item was the dullness that accompanied the recent decline. Today when prices refused to fall further, selling dried up and a meager demand brought swift and wide recoveries.
