Holt obtained a Mexican divorce many years ago but the California courts outlawed it. The couple never was recon BY CARL HOUTCIIENS Tibet that Impenetrable land of mystery, that stronghold of the occult and miraculous has stretched far to Redwood City to Include in its orbit of reputed wise men and a modern-day practicerof one of the most ancient sciences on earth. This is spoken of E. Hoffmann Price, whose Redwood City acquaintanceship is considerable, whose Emerald Lake home-ownership pride is unbounding, and whose readers know his name wherever American fiction magazines are read or translated. A thousand and more years ago.

Price might have been called a wizard. Today, he may be called a star gazer. lie is an astrologer. lie has reputation as a reader and appraiser of horoscopes. For that he is known as far as Tibet.

The cord from that ancient land reaches to this bright-eyed, goatee-ed mathematician from one they call His Highness Sri Ram Mahra, the Ta Lama of Sakja Province, Tibet. Between the Redwood City man of the West (and of the world) and the inscrutable man of the East (and of the world) there passes much correspondence mutually admiring letters exchanged by two who teach to and learn from each other. Himself a teacher of truths in the ancient lamasian tradition, the Ta Lama seeks such added knowledge that the man Price, as friend and counsellor is able to convey as personal astrologer to Sri Ram Mahra. Comfortably ensconced in his own 20th century lamasery, fittingly situated high in Emerald Lakes scenic hills at 2547 Woodland PL, E. (for Edgar) Hoffmann Price traces and retraces the endless parade of stars and planets.

He seeks to divine their ageless mysteries in a search for such knowledge as I can apply to the race of men. For nearly 20 years now he has been pursuing the hobby of astrology with the dispassionate thoroughness of a vivisectionlst. To this study. Price who, by the way, served his stint as secretary-treasurer-director of the Highlands Dist. Improvement Assn, here has brought a knowledge of language and logic.

He has brought the background of a world-traveled soldier-fighter who was called from the ranks to become a West Point army officer, artilleryman and engineer. To this fascinating study of the stars he has brought the investigative curiosity of a fiction writer and plot producer whose printed words already total more than those of Shakespeare a writer who had a very high respect for the study and divination of the stars. Now, dont laugh or Jeer at Price as he steadily plods his self-chosen path of inquiry through the heavens and in musty tomes for elusive ancient truths. Better hear him out, lest you be like those who drove him on his course his destiny. I was heckled on to the path of astrology by the unscientific, unquestioning doubts of 19th century scientists those nearsighted modern materialists, who said so positively: Theres nothing to it astrology.

Such talk South County Blood Bank Planned Residents of Southern San Mateo County who wish ta donate blood for the armed forces may do SO' closer to home this month. Mrs. Frank Heathman, chairman of the blood donor service for Sequoia Chapter, American Red Cross, announced today that the staff of the San Mateo County Blood Bank will be in Menlo Park on Tuesday, Feb. 13, and In Redwood City Friday, Feb. 23.

Anyone who wishes to donate blood on those days should call Sequoia Red Cross headquarters, EMerson 6-3851, Immediately to make an appointment, Mrs. Heathman said. All blood collected on those days will go to the armed forces in Korea. The blood bank staff will be at the parish house of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Menlo Park from 1 to 7 p.m. on Feb.

13. Mrs. Heathman is seeking a suitable building in Redwood City where blood donations can be given on Feb. 23, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Some Redwood City individual or organization can perform a great service to our fighting men in Korea, Mrs. Heathman said, by lending the Red Cross ground floor space in a building with adequate plumbing facilities once a month. Sequoia Chapter Is 53 pints behind In. its blood for the armed forces program, according to Mrs. Heathman.

Last Friday the Red Cross fell short of its goal by 25 pints. Added to the 28 pints we were already behind, this makes a total of 53 pints that we must make up, the chairman declared. The need for blood for our boys in Korea is urgent and Immediate. They cant wait. Make your appointment now to give a pint of blood.

Thirty-two of some 40 Menlo Park Elementary School Dist. teachers have signed up to give whole blood to the American Red Cross, Principal Glen D. Smith of Central School said today. The faculty members will make their donations at 4 p.m. Feb.

Price says his growing files of testimonials and his meticulously kept work book, comprising the results of 20 years of investigation, make up pretty potent proof, even to nonbelievers that there must be information that can be read in the heavens and that this knowledge can be separated from purely metaphysical cog- nizance.

Such knowledge, wisely and unwisely directed has, for ages, balanced and unbalanced thft inexorable course of history, Price declares. All the known knowledge of astrology (and of the world) has Its limitation when applied with human he agrees. The best purpose of astrology is to teach men that primary and most difficult of all doctrines Know Thyself. Predictions of the future are only Incidental usually to be deplored. When you are able to read the past, you can call the general trend and pattern of the future.

With forewarning, trends that appear certain may be diverted. If you know yourself, Price continues, you are practically uninterested In the future for then you can make your own future. Know the potentialities of destiny and man can outwit the negative tendencies. The stars do not contribute half as much to the day of man' as man himself does, Price observes. They do not predetermine nor compel to anything.

With free will, man chalks his own fate. The heavens, as they may be read, are indicators of natural causes, he insists. Look on them in much the same manner as the mercury In the thermometer which Is an indicator of why people may perspire on a hot day. The mercury Isnt the cause of your perspiration. Not all astrologers are worthy of the ancient and honorable name.

The pseudo, hocus-pocus foolers of people are thieves, bunglers, plain, and fancy gyps, Price charges. But, they bring their own downfall. Their sad misuse of something that can be practically good, brings more harm to the charlatans themselves than to their gullible. Ill-advised followers. E.

After fighting on the Mexican border and in World War I as an army private.

Price earned his way into West Point from which he was graduated in '23 with honors in the physical sciences and a reputation for mathematics. Going into civil life after resigning lrom Army service, Price served as an engineer and Industrialist before adopting the job of fiction writing for his comforts-providlng occupation. Digging Into philosophies of thought, references to astrology, as practiced by the ancients, kept cropping up, Price recalls. I was constantly plagued by the twin question. Did it work then, and does it work now? I was thus launched on an investigation of the mysteries of astrology, a study so ancient that its beginning is not known and so extensive that there seems no end to it.

In quick, clipped words that cant quite keep pace with his racing thoughts, the 52-year-old one-time San Jose Teachers Col lege student, continues: This adventure in scientific investigation has convinced me that astrology is not to be jeered at as superstitution from the dark ages. I can testify that a knowledge of planetary corres pondences may be valuably re lated to questions of -the day, matters of judgment and the uncovering of personality troubles. My answer is that it does work. If there is proper understanding of principles principles that have become tradition and if there Is accurate infor matlon to set up premises to be proven. Through the application of mathematical formula it is possible to project or construct a scientifically accurate guide to human character, traits and personality.
