, fluence in this county as q whole

and on our government"
BY giving Mr.. Foster a prominent
position on the back cover Of this
booklet. our Congress hoped to show
Americans that native Communists
really condemn themselves when
ever they open their mouths. In
The quotation. there Is revealed
Communism's greatest appeal: the
lust for power. and the urge to do
inmate Others that some people
have. There Is revealed also its
greatest weakness, for people ev-.
erywhere do not like to be dominate
ed by force. People like to be free.
Apologies Not Needed
THE CONGRESSIONAL Com
mittee to which refer is the Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
II you have ever listened to the
'palaver Of Communists or the "fel-
low travellers" Communist sylnpa-
thizers). the chances are you have
heard this Committee Of Congress
strongly criticized. Like the COM
mittee says, the right answers CIV
en- in the booklet, by using the facts,
must certainly infuriate the Com
munists. It Is true also that many
Of these right answers win shock
the average citizen who has not
studied the ism" closely.
It is not my purpose to apollo
gize for the Committee ON I'm

are needed It has done a great
service to the American people in

a glorious job in reselling our peo-
pie on the American way Of life.
It has opened the dark secrets Of
Communist conspirators.
The Communist policy Is to break
down existing nations any way they
can, and in the confusion to seize
control. They viii promise every
kind Of ''better life," but they have
never been known to deliver It. As
an American, I am thankful for
the work the Committee has done.
I say with the Committee: "You
know what the United States is
like today. II you want it exactly
the opposite, you should turn Com
munist. But before you do, re-
member you viii lose your inde-
pendence, your property, and your
freedom Of mind"

Claims Queries and Replies

(Continucd frsm Page Onel
out reference to the sum Of $500
for which you offered to settle but
which your bankrupt tenant never
paid.
T. Q. had patented = certain
strain Of chrysanthemuDs and
had built up my stock from 1880
without making any sales 1 had
carefully increased and propa-
gated my stock with the inten-
tion Of selling Il IN 1912. Because
of the evacuation I did not want
my patented chrysanfhemum
stock 70 fan into other hands. Be-
cause of fear Of other capitalize
ing on my development, I des-
troyed my large stock and re-
tanned only q few bedding plants.
Can I claim for the plants I had
destroyed?
A. This raises the question whe-
ther the means you used to protect
your trade secret was a reasonable
means so that the loss was a rea-
sonable consequence Of the evacu-
alton. If the trade secret could be
preserved by less drastic measures,
the view might be taken that the
loss was not due to evacuation but
to the claimants separate inde-
pendent action. In order to re-
ceive a determination by the Gov
eminent 1t viii be necessary to file
a claim which should include an
explanation as to why destruction
was the only safe why to preserve
this stock.
5. @. MY peach orchard and
strawberry patch which had
nursed along had just reached the
bearing state when 1 was eva
cuated. The best harvest years
were during my absence. Can 1
claim for the crops harvested by
my tenant? II I were permitted
to remain, I could have realized
the entire proceeds The rental
was very nominal and did not
reflect the income which was
realized from the harvest.
A. It appears that you have a
good claim at least for the differ
ence between fair rental for the
and the nominal rent that
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1948-11-27

you received. But if, however, your
claim Is not for fair rental value,
but the actual proceeds received
for the harvested crops, less ex-
penses Of harvesting, there arises
some problem whether profits from
future crops might be considered
as anticipated profits and not al
lowable under the law. In par
ticular case, that might be allowed
il you could show that these har-
vests were not speculative. In other
words, you have a clear claim for
the fair rental value but a some
what less clear claim for the pro-
fits from the harvests. Perhaps
the safest course would be to file
your claim in the alternative.
9. q. On my farm 1 had pur-
chased new tractors and trucks
two years before the evacuation.
On my income tax ! had claimed
depreciation which / could amor
the in five years. Since my in
come was below $500 1 did not
file income tax returns and did
not claim depreciation during the
evacuation. The law says depre-
citation must be claimed In the
successive years without skipping.
Can I file for my unclaimed de-
probation during exclusion from
my farm?
A. It is difficult to answer this
question without being advised whe-
ther you sold your tractors and
trucks at the time Of the evacuation.
If you did sell them for less than
their value you can make q claim
for the difference. But then, Of
course, you cannot also claim de-
probation. If you did not sell
them and still have them and do

Mr.. Talbert personally sees

dent and his party when they
come to the concert hall, and
he used to do the same at the
National. AS a matter of fact.
the spotlight shining OH great
historical events has picked
up Mr.. Talbert in it's beams
more than once. About 40
years ago. a friend. then serg-
eant-at-arms of the Senate,
asked him to handle seating
arrangements on the plat
form for the presidential in
auguration. He has been do
ing it ever sirfce, and occa-
sionally is called on to do the
same in Congress on momen-
tous occasions. He was al
most at Franklin RooSevelt's
elbow when the latter was
sworn in for the first time.
and he was close to the lee
tern when the same Presi-
dent asked for a declaration
of war In 1941.

He doesn't count the one or
two times that National SYM
phony Conductor Hans Kind
Ter inadvertently got in the
way and spoiled the play.
Its all in how you throw"
he says, modestly explaining
his technique. Il throw them
with the stems first and aim
them SO they land just about
chest high and upright. I
use a sort of overland motion
and the throw has to be just
so--not too easy and not too
hard. It's something like
throwing darts"
The most he has ever
thrown to an artist was three
bouquets, which he says were
all perfect tosses, landing
"plunk. plunk. plunk. just like
that" In fact, he adds, I'VE
couldn't have done it better
If we'd rehearsed it,"
Timing is of the essence in
Mr.. Talbert's technique. In
addition to having mastered
the nice mechanics of the
throw. he has perfected his
pace so that he arrives down
front at the most propitious
moment for the presentation.
Il give the artist a chance
first" he explains. Il wait in
the back of the hall until she
has taken a couple of bows;
then I start down the aisle
at a kind of trot, and get to
