Hiyo Silver! Race to Old
Mine Ready to Start Anew

DODGEVILLE. MICH The story
Of seven barrels OF silver abandoned
In an old mine near here is being
told and re-told again and is ex.
pected to cause a silver rush any
day now.
Seems that group OF miners in
the middle Of the last century
wanted more pay. The mine man.
agement refused to grant them an
Increase. Having just neatly capped
seven barrels OF silver, the miners
climbed out Of their hole to continue
the argument.
Negotiations continued for months
while the seven barrels Of silver lay
In the mine shaft. Finally. when
an agreement was reached the min.
ers discovered that the shafting had
weakened and they refused to enter
the mine again. The silver treasure
never was extricated.
Conservatively. the treasure is
estimated to be worth about Sl4,5O0

tried to turn, tried to open the door
to flee, but his hands caught her
"Anne, we've been fools. Or at
least I have. l need you. l know
it. I never stopped knowing it.
1t was just that - you didn't seem
to need me-"
Didn't need you, Tom?" In sur
prise she ceased her blind efforts
to release herself, to look up at
him in establishment But l do.
I've always needed you. The times
when you were away"
And then, without warning, the
tears came. 1t was the first time
she ever had let him see her cry.
Men hated weepy women, but when
the tears were over, something cold
washed away.
She dried her eyes on Toms
handkerchief and held her lips up
for his kiss. And she knew then,
somehow, what he meant. She had
made their marriage a thing light
and gay-and it had been too light,
too gay. With her casual goodbys
and her bright welcomes she had
hid her emotions too well. That
men hate emotion had been her
guiding principle.
But good marriage has
depths. A woman must feel
needed; but SO must a man, too.
In avoiding one extreme she had
gone to another.
Tom tried, in awkward sentences,
to explain. Tried to tell her about
the blonde Marion, whose need for
his help and advice had almost
made him think that he - But he
didn't have to explain. She under
stood all he said, and more. Only
when he finished was she Devil
dered.
IF you hadn't let me know,
though" Tom said then, his square,
nicely ugly features twisted in a
grin that was tight with the know
ledge of how close their escape had
been, "if you hadn't put it where
I couldn't miss it"
But she was able to still the ques-
ton on her lips before it was
spoken. For she saw the direction
of his look, and followed it to see
the message for Thelma which she
had begun, directing her to buy
tomatoes and other items, but had
not stayed to finish. And what the
abruptly broken-off message said
now, instead was: "NEEDED-
TOM"
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-06-25

b. away for several days, some
times even for weeks. And the time
when he was gone was just a series
of empty days and nights in which
she missed him so much the sense
of his absence was almost a physi-
cal ache.
But she'd known how it would be,
and knowing, had accepted the job
of making their marriage work.
She had never fretted or wept when
Tom had to be away. She'd kissed
him goodby lightly and welcomed
him back in the same spirit. She
hadn't chung to him when he left
or fused over him when he re-
turned. Men hated that.
She had never let him guess the
horrible loneliness that stayed with
her when he was away on an as
signment, lest it make him feel
guilty for leaving her alone so
much. And she'd kept her job,
writing store copy, not because she
liked or needed it but because it
helped fill the days of waiting when
he was away.
But she hadn't let the job come
between her and the home she was
trying to make for him. With the
help of Thelma and much fore
thought, she had kept it running
so smoothly the mechanics of
housekeeping never had obtruded
upon the time they did have togeth-
er. And yet
She still could not analyze it. Why
Tom gradually had become dissatis-
fled and restless. Had taken to
making excuses for staying away
even when he was not on an as
signment.
Then had come the blonde girl,
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-06-25

Marion something, fresh out Of COL
lege and trying to be a reporter.
And Tom, spending more and more
of his time with her until Anne,
with her own need for him so strong
had, in her disappointment and in
ability to guess what was wrong be-
tween them, provoked that scene
which could not be made up.
So now he was taking away his
things :.
Anne looked at her wrist watch.
In the turmoil of her thoughts, more
than an hour had passed. She rose
and thankfully started back toward
the apartment. Tom certainly
would have come and gone by now.
Anyway it was over. She could
start rebuilding her life somehow.
At least, she was thinking as she
put her key into the door, she had
kept her emotions in control.
Then she opened the door. And
all thought fled. He had not left.
His trunk and bags were still there,
and he was standing beside them.
"Anne," Tom said, as woodenly
she closed the door behind her,
holding to the knob for support.
"Anne"
He took a step toward her. His
voice was rough with urgency. She

before the elevator could reach her
floor.
1t didn't stop, after all. But the
fear of being caught there by Toms
arrival stayed with her until she
was outside and hurrying across to
Washington Square. Only when she
reached the small park did she slow
her pace.
She found a bench in the cool
sunshine and sat down. Then,
watching the placid pigeons, the
screening children on skates, the
mothers pushing carriages and the
old men playing checkers, she tried
to keep her thoughts turned from
what was happening. But it wasn't
possible.
Why? The question persisted in
asking itself. What went wrong?
Why didn't it work out?
She'd known it wouldn't be easy.
A sports writer, Tom often had to

Marauding Wild Elephants
Cause Big Damage in India

NEW DELHI.-To various minor
fluctuations Of Free India now are
added problems of marauding wild
elephants and the approaching ex-
tinction Of the scaly anteater.
The anteater is a pet Of farmers
because it devours destructive white
ants and does no harm.
Both of these odd varieties of nat
ural history are occurring in agricul-
tural areas Of the United Provinces,
according to newspaper reports
from there.
Wild elephants, the slaughter Of
which has been banned for several
years. have multiplied greatly.
They are doing so much damage
to crops and fences and even attack
ing villages that the United Prov
inces government has issued special
arms licenses for killing elephants
and is planning to hire expert
hunters.

0Id.Age Pensions

At A SECRET POWWOW with
"A congressional Democratic lead
ers President Truman was told there
was little chance of congress ap-
proving any of his proposals to in
crease old-age pensions. However,
the leaders advised that the peo-
pie were entitled to a frank report
on how old-age insurance benefits
on which millions of Americans de-
pend for retirement security - have
Jagged behind higher wages and
living costs. That was why Tru-
man decided to send his message
to congress anyway.
Michigan's aggressive represen-
tative, John Dingell, an original
champion of the social security
law, summed it up bluntly: 'Unless
pensions are increased in ratio to
higher wages, higher taxes and
higher living costs, counties that
have sold their poorhouses for the
aged will have to re-establish
them"
Dingell said it would be "actu-
arially sound" to increase PEN
sions because Of increased reve-
nues from payroll taxes. He
added: "Sixty million people are
employed now, more than we
ever d r m d Of when we
changed the law In 1889. We
thought then that we wouldn't
have that many employed until
$780,"

as practically possible" comment
ed the President.
Biggest problem, observed Fed
eral Security Administrator Oscar
Ewing, is providing protection for
casual workers, such as domestic
servants and farmhands.
1--WE might try the stamp system
they use in England" suggested
Ewing.
II doubt that it would work here"
remarked Mr.. Truman. cts a
nuisance to employers. difficult to
administer and such casual en-
ployees frequently build up less
credits for contributory pensions
than they could get in an old-age
assistance dole"

Western Water Shortage

THE STORY OF A MODERN
RUSH to California, more signifi-
cant than the 40 gold rush, was
laid before President Truman the
other day with warning that the
state soon will not have enough
water to go around.
Calling at the White House,
Congressman Dick WEIGH, Re-
publican, and Frank Havenner,
Democrat, both Of San Francisco,
described how the East was mi
grating to the West at the rate
Of 1000 newcomers a day.
This tremendous influx has cost
California millions Of barrels of
precious water from her danger
ously dwindling reservoirs.
Yet 73,770,00O acre-feet of fresh
water from San Joaquin and Sac
ramento rivers empty into San
Francisco bay each year. The con-
gressmen urged the President per-
sonally to look into this problem on
his trip to California and recon-
mend what can be done to save
the water.
Mr.. Truman pulled out maps of
the bay region which he already
had been studying, and assured the
congressman that he previously
had intended to give the matter his
personal attention.
"There shouldn't be q shortage
Of water in that area" he agreed,
with water running wild into
the bay"

White House Visitors

THE PRESIDENT HAS RE-
SORTED to new strategy in ham
ding white House callers.
For some time, Washington OBJ
servers were amazed at the num-
Der of visitors President Truman
saw daily. But now the calling list
has tapered off. The official list
released every morning shows only
a handful of visitors.
What most people don't know,
however, is that there are five
separate entrances to the White
House, and in recent weeks Mr..
Truman has been foOling the
press. While regular White House
correspondents wait in the lobby
Of the executive offices watching
for presidential visitors, various
private callers slip in other
doors. Sometimes as many as rs
will flow into Mr.. Humans
office unnoticed. They come in
through various side doors, some
times even the distant east wing,
and then are spirited around the
back through the rose garden and
In to the President.
Some old senatorial friends also
drop around to see Mr.. Truman at
breakfast. Others come in after
breakfast. but before the press
arrives. Ed Flynn has been in
twice lately, unnoticed. Former
Judge Sam Rosenman is again
White House regular using the east
gate, as is George Allen. the old
court jester.
Another new favorite Truman
rem d ezvous is the presidential

holds stag poker parties with old
buddies, sometimes sleeping on
board and walking back to the
White House early in the morning
before most people 60 to work.
