BENDERSVILIIE. Pa, May 23.-The
circumstances incident to the selection
by the late President Warren @. Hard
ing OF Andrew w. Mellon for secre-
tary Of the Treasury were related here
today for the first time by Leighton G.
Taylor OF washington, d. c., who was
the principal speaker at Memorial day
exercises. The Bendersville Observance
OF the day was held this afternoon 70
anord citizens an opportunity to at

will deliver the grafton. Mr.. Taylor. A
native OF Bendersville, for several years
was secretary to the Late Boise Pen

appointment as follows:
SecretAry's Qualification.
"Only recently Secretary Mellon as
serted that the evil days upon which
we have fallen would pass and that
our INDUSTRY and commerce again would
flourish. Mr.. Mellon, since the close
OF the World War, has been in touch
with economic conditions throughout
the world and his judgment Commands
confidence. To digress for q moment,
IL occurs to me that it may be of some
interest to you to know that Mr.. Mel

Hoover was brought about. in large mart
at least, through the efforts of SEN
ator PenroSe.
Mentioned by John T. King.
THE idea of placing him at the head
OF the Treasury did not originate with
Mr.. Penrose, however. The man who
first mentioned him for the once was
the late John T. King. former Repub-
Hcan national committeeman from
Connecticut. King from New York,
called Senator Penrose on the tele-
phone at the Shelburne Hotel in At
lantic City. where the Senator was 81
and suggested that he submit Mr.. Mel
Ions name to President-elect Harding
Senator Penrose expressed doubt that
MIR. Mellon could be induced to enter
public life. but told King he would com
municate with the Pittsburgh hnancier
on the subject.
'The same day he called Mr.. Mellon
on the phone in Pittsburgh and asked
him II he would consider the appoint
ment. Mr.. Mellon indicated that he
would. and Senator Penrose, after a
rus E. Woods, had Joseph r. Grundy
go to Marion and formally submit Mr.
Melons name for the Treasury port
folio. President Harding at the time
had two other men in mind, Charles

Senator Penrose talked with King and
Mellon, and arranged with Mr. Hard

FIXED PRICE PLAN
FOR WAR STUDIED
BaruCh Proposal Brings
Clash in Opinion Over
Effectiveness.

BY the Associated Press.
A variety Of plans for taking Ahe
profits out of war; faced members az
the War Policies Commission YESTERDAY
as they began to study the testimony
taken during extensive hearings pre-
paratory to reporting to Congress.
The commission concluded its hear
ings yesterday and will report to Con-
gress in December.
The hearings developed a diversity of
opinions among those in charge of the
Government during the last war over
the best way to conduct a future con-
The most comprehensive plan pre-
sented to the commission was the pro-
posal from Bernard NJ Baruch, chair
man OF the Waf Industries Board dur
ing the last conflict, for governmental
control OF industries through an agency
similar TO the one he headed.
Price Fixing Provided.
The feature of Baruch's plan that
would attract most attention called for
peace-time legislation to give the
President power at the. outbreak of q
conflict to freeze all prices, subject to
later modification by a price-fixing
commission.
This idea was advanced TO prevent
the initiation which It's author said usu-
ally accompanies war Baruch said
1t would cut the cost Of conflict in
half.
The War Department presented q
plan for mobilizing industry, much the
same as Baruch'S suggestion, but pro-
posed the gradual fixing of prices by
negotiation rather than freezing the
entire price level at the beginning Of
the war.
Among the other plans proposed
were:
A constitutional amendment to give
the President power to commander all
place the entire Nation on a ration
system.
Conscription OF wealth by heavy tax
alton sufficient to pay the costs Of the
war from current revenues.
ConscTiption of capital by limiting It's
profits to Ia per cent.
Virtually all Of the witnesses, who
had experience with the problem in the
last war recommended some kind Of
price fixing to eliminate profteering
Oppose Baruch Plan.
The great difference of opinion came,
however, over Baruch's plan to freeze
all prices, both wholesale and retail.
Some of the experts said it was un-
workable and would interfere with WIN
ming the war while others held 1t was
the only practical method of curbing
imitation and undue profits.
The commission composed Of mem
bers Of the cabinet. House and Senate,
was created by Congress at the instiga-
ton of veterans organization, to find
plan which in case of future war
would prevent some men from making
huge profits while others were being
killed and injured on the firing line.

origin OF these grotesque wooden tomb
stones is unknown, 1t Is believed the
custom sprang from an archaic style
of house decoration known as house
posts, which bore a carving of the tri-
bal or family totem. This totem might
be real or imaginary Some fantastic
creature, for example, which had ap-
peared in dream such as the thunder
bird, which makes lightning by the
flash Of its eyes and thunder by the
clapping OF It's wings, might be chosen
as the family totem. For the most part,
however, animals common in the region
such as the beaver; bear, killer-whale,
shark, hawk, eagle and raven, are more
frequently chosen as the totem or the
reputed animal progenitor of the par
ticular clan and family to whom the
pole belongs.
According to II. w. Kreiger Of the
U. s. National Museum, who is also an
authority on totem poles, the raising of
one of these memorial columns Is ac-
companied by much ceremony First
OF all the erection of pole which must
of necessity be to the maternal uncle
OF the owner, must include carved rep
reservations of animals and events il
lustrating the traditions and genealogy
OF the family, together with carved
images OF the family animal totem or
crest.
At the time of the erection of the
pole, Mr.. Kreiger points out, it is Gus
tomary to give away large amount of
property, such as blankets, canoes, and,
in former times, even slaves. Such
property distribution has come to be
known as potlatch. The giving of a
potlatch by an Indian establishes his
right in the community to a totem
pole.
POtlatch Varies.
The amount of property distributed
among the clansmen who erect the
pole depends upon the size and the
height OF the pole, which, in turn, is
determined by the number of animal
crests or totems and the rank Of the
maternal uncle which the builder of
the totem pole is to inherit. An In
dian would be laughed at by his fellow
clansmen If he erected a large pole,
but did not possess adequate means to
distribute sufficiently substantial gifts
at the time Of the raising of the pole,
or IL he assumed animal crests which
were not traditionally his to assume.
All this does not, however, preclude
the right Of the owner to introduce
carvings Illustrating some particular ex-
perience or event in his own life which
might add weight to his bid for fame.
The following story is told of a carved
figure on a certain pole representing the
experience of an Indian at Tongas vii
lage who once acted as host to a former
secretary of the U. s. Department of
Interior, who was visiting Alaska:
The secretary was asked to sit on a
pile Of fine furs in the house of the
Indian. At the close Of the interview
the guest was told that he was for
getting his furs 1t is the custom Of
cur people, said the Indian, that what
a visitor sits upon is his. When the
Indians tombstone was erected later
by his nephew, the former Secretary of
the Interior was represented on it
dressed in a frock coat, stovepipe hat
and checked trousers.

BY JESSIE b. BEACH.
T HE world-famed totem poles of
British Columbia and Southeast
Alaska, long believed by scien-
i lists to be remnants Of a lost
art, which blossomed at the
hand of Indian tribes of the distant
prehistoric past. have recently been
identified by DR.. Marium Barbeau OF the
National Museum of Canada as late and
bizarre manifestations Of modern In
dian art which reached the climax OF Its
development less than SO years ago.
Following an intensive study of the
totem poles in this region, occupied by
native Americans known as Northwest
Coast Indians, the Canadian scientist
says: ''The art of carving and erect
ing totem poles Is not as ancient on
the Northwest Coast as Is generally be-
lieved. Popular misconceptions that
totem poles are hundreds of years old
are fantastic. They could not be. from
the nature of the material and climatic
conditions Green cedar, from which
these poles are carved, cannot with
stand the climatic conditions of the
region much more than so or so years
Most of the poles now in the various
parks and museums throughout the
country were carved after 1860, while
not few of those seen in Indian vii
lagos we're erected after 1890"
Explorers Omit Mention.
More definite proof, however, that
the custom Of erecting totem poles was
not so prevalent even a hundred years
ago, the scientist points out, is seen in
the fact that early explorers of this
region, such as Cook, Dixon, Vancouver,
La Perouse and others, did not men
ton them even though they described
in detail the houses, clothing, art and
handiwork of the natives in any num-
Der Of Indian villages.
Although the expression Of native
personality and craftsmanship came
naturally to the Northwest Coast In
dians the rapid growth of their wood
carving art was influenced largely, Dr.
Barbeau continues, by the introduction
Of European tools. The steel ak, the
adj and the knife, which the Spanish
and English traders brought to the
region. made possible a better carving
technique and shaping on a larger
scale of monumental structures that
formerly were cut in a much more
painstaking way on less pretentious
objects, such as cups and spoons.
These minor carvings, known as early
as the time Of Capt. Cook, in 177S,
were numerous and varied, finding ex-
preston on almost every article of
household use, but the most striking
objects on which the natives in later
years have lavished their best artistic
efforts are the totem poles. or tomb
stones Indeed, in intent, DR.. Barbeau
explains, the totem pole Is nothing more
nor less than a tombstone Since the
art Of totem pole carving is no longer
extant, in certain CT the villages the
natives have their crests or totems
as tornbstones In their modern grave
yards.
Although the details regarding the
