can fishermen who find themselves
faced by government-fnanced COM
petition. The principal involved is
one Nick Bee who, / understand,
is OF Jugoslav origin. Nick Bee
is president OF the Pacific Explora-

was engaging in a S3,750,00O ven
ture.
These fishermen stimulated In

the Marine Digest" that the pro-
ject would cost in the vicinity Of
100000 which was an inaccu-
rate figure, and that 1.-THE Defense
Plant Corporation is participating
only in a small amount in a loan
similar to a bank loan which must
be paid back with interest. ."
Senator Magnuson also told the
Marine Digest" that all this &C
tivity was to develop fishing on
the Boring shelf and that the men
involved in the Pacific Exploration
Company were not only Nick Bee
but also scientists who had ex-
plored tie area. The senator does
not say whether these scientists
had done the exploring while on the
payroll OF the government and then
turned the data over to Nick Be-.
and as he does not say who the
scientists are | do not know wheth-
er this is a bonaf1de participation
or a cut-in.
When the entire transaction Is
analysed, It appears that Nick Bee,

that an American fisherman has
been fishing Goldfish and crab in

floating cannery and factory ship

ing cannery, and Mr.. Jones further
recommended that after all this
had been done at the expense Of
S3,750,000, the six vessels should
be rented to the Pacific Explora-
ton Company.
The project was certified by
the War Food Administration and
the co-ordinator OF fisheries OF the
Department of Interior of which
prospective columnist Harold Ickes
was then the head.
What was recommended was
done, and the vessel, "Mormacrey'
was acquired by the RFC for re-
conversion.
On August 81, 1915, J. B. Hutson,
acting Secretary OF Agriculture,
advised the RFC that the project
was no longer essential and that
his department was unable to re-
affirm its former recommendation
He did. however, indicate that the
Department OF Interior wanted the
project continued.
On August 30. 1945, John w. Sny-
der, asked the RFC to find out what
the Department OF Interior and the
State Department think about the
project. AS / go through these
documents, II is difficult to under
stand why Mr.. Snyder. who is a
sort as assistant president, could
not have got this information d.
rectly from the Interior and State
Departments. At any rate, both De-
partments threw the project into
Mr.. Snyder's FLAP ferSecision,
where apparently II rests.
The last report on the subject
by the RFC, dated October 81, 1915,
states:
". The conversion OF the ocean
going vessel into the floating can
nary and factory ship has not been
completed and that the construc-
ton of the trawlers has not been
commenced. ="
However, on December s, 1945, 1t
was reported that the U. s. Gov
eminent had provided the money
for the construction OF the FIVE
trawlers by the Astoria Marine
Construction Company, Astoria.

commenced. Also that conversion
work was continuing on the Nor

Works, Bellingham, Wash.

Your Health
Alcoholism May
be Due to Mental
Disturbances

By HERMAN BUNDEsEN. NJ. Z
WHAT eonfuses many people is
why do people use alcohol bever-
ages 10 excess7
Well there are many causes.
Some Of these people are suffering
from severe mental disturbances
which require the attention Of q
specialist in diseases OF the nerv-
Gus system, that is, psyehiatrist.
But, according to DR.. Howard
W. Haggard Of Yale University,
the majority Of those who drink TO
excess are normal human beings
whose condition can be controlled
by sympathetic treatment. II is
his opinion that these persons
should be treated by the physician.
Feeling Of Confidence
The first part Of the treatment
is TO establish the proper feeling
of confidence between the patient
and the doctor. The doctor cannot
be pessimistic about the outlook.
1t must be his effort nS only TO
build in the patient the desire TO
be cured, but also the belief that
cure is possible. II there is any
lack Of confidence, the patient will
react badly to It.
Persons who use alcoholic bever-
ages TO excess are called alcohol
les. A true alcoholic, according TO
DR.. Haggard, can abstain from
drinking for a time, but he can
not be moderate in his drinking.
DR.. Hsggard therefore suggests
that, in determining rs TO whether
or not the patient really is an al
eoholic, the patient limit himself
to two drinks a day for a time. II
he can do this, he is not really .
true alcoholic.
Mental Disturbance
Alcoholism may occur as a re-
suit Of certain mental disturb
ances, one Of which is known as a
manic-depressive psychosis. Per-
sons with this condition drink at
intervals, with periods in between
when they abstain. Steady and
wild drinking is suggestive Of .
mental condition known as schizo-
phrenia.
The great majority Of drinkers,
rs mentioned above, are not Of this
type. They are persons who drink
excessively because Of troubles,
worries and problems which they
seem unable to solve or To meet
in the proper manner.
Arousing Fear
In some cases a cure may be
brought about by arousing a fear
in the patients mind by explain
ing to him the rapid deterioration
which may occur from the abuse
of alcohol. Sometimes enough re-
sentiment may be aroused in his
mind against his enslavement to
alcohol that he will exert enough
effort to break the habit.
Once the desire to be free Of the
habit is great enough, some form
Of faith healing, according to DR..
Haggard, will help complete the
treatment The patient may re-
spond to rational explanation Of
what the habit is doing to him.
Sometimes by the administra-
ton Of certain drugs which pro-
duce sickness Of the stomach and
vomiting, an actual distaste for al
coholic beverages may be aroused
but this only lasts a short time. II
possible, the services of a spe-
eialist in diseases Of the nervous
system should be secured and such
organizations as Alcoholics Anon
ymous have helped many cases.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Two Feet of DampneSS


 Day after we got married saw attractive ad of apartment. took the place blind. Found it about thirty feet from the river, bungalow, heated with kerosene stove in liv- ing room. Comfortable enough, but our feet cold continuously, to our disgust found two feet of water in the cellar. Neighbors say it will stay there til next spring. Do we run a risk of becoming sick.
 (Mrs. P. c. E) Answer-No risk involved, so far as water in the cellar goes. If the air, clothing, bedding etc, seem damp, that is purely a question of comfort, has nothing to do with health.
 Left-Handed Baby
 Baby, i4 month old, seems to favor left hand in reaching for and grasping things. How can we pre- vent him from being left-handed7
 L. V. n Answer-Don't try. Approximate ly one person in twenty-five is naturally left handed. Tn my opinion forced change to artificial right handedness is unjustiiiable and may prove injurious - cause suffering and other handicaps.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Light Heat, Air Destroy Perfumes Magic Potency
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Three well-known pilferers of your Christlnas-gift perfume which will bear watching. are light, heat and air. You can outwlt all three, however, by following tips from perfume-w wise Carole (Behind Green Lights) Landis, whose first sugges- ton is to house your bottle in the box in which 1t came.
 If you've thrown the box away, she says the next best way to pro- tect perfume against light is to put 1t in a cool, dark cupboard. You're warned, however, that the temperature must be static: that changes from cool cupboard to warm bedroom are bad for per- fume.
 Worst sneak thief of all, how ever, is air, which Carole outwits by screwing stopper tightly into bottle after using perfume. To lock out air raids, her trick is to turn the stopper so that its ground sur- face line up properly with the glass thread" in the neck of the bottle.
 TO unlock glass stopper's stub born grip, Carole says tap lightly with another piece of glass. What releases grip, she explains is the vibration which comes when glass hits glass.

Convict InVents ArtificioI Hand

San Quentin, Cal, Jan. 25-CUP) A San Quentin convict who in- vented a new type of pneumatically- operated artificial hand was free today to perfect his device.
 Warden Clinton Duffy announced that the adult athority had uncon- ditionally discharged B. B. Stiles, convicted l4 months ago at Glen dale of forging a $50 check.
 Stiles, a mechanical engineer, heard complaints of amputees that artificial limbs were heavy and clumsy. He decided to work on a light, flexible and easily operated hand while in prison.
 Warden Duffy set aside a work shop for Stiles. Navy medical au- thorities provided tools and scarce materials.
 The work aroused the interest of surgeons and therapists through out the country. many of whom came to the prison to visit the inventor.
 Upon his release, Stiles went to Southern California with a Navy amputee who will test the invention

 Tn your answer to query you said both prospective partners should be examined by a physician and be guided by the physician's advice in regard to the proposed marriage. Does that apply to any other condition than tuberculoSis9 (W. J)
 Every well governed State or Province now requires applicants for Q license to marry to present Q health certificate from physician The laws differ somewhat in various States or Provinces as to just what the test or examination shall deter mine.
 If you contemplate marriage you should both be examined by a phy- slc!an and proceed with the plans only if the physician finds you both 1t to marry. This is in one way a kind of assurance of a hap py, successful marriage. At least 1t may avert a tragic outcome.
 Tn the query to which you refer the reader said the prospective partner twas born with T. B. of the lungs" but "ls now about over 1t and safe to be around" That seems a poor foundation on which to build a family.
 But for every marriage that comes to grief because husband or wife was unfit by reason of unrec- ognized tuberculosis of the lung, there are probably fifty that bring unhappiness and suffering to the wife particularly by reason of un- cured, chronic or smouldering gon- orrhea which is usually the contri- button of the husband.

 Doctors have a term for it-"one- child sterility." That does not mean that this is the only cause of one- child sterility.
