Prisoner No. 1881 was afraid to
die He called for the prison chap
lain. 1t was a Sordid story he had
to tell Theft, burglary and MUIR
der-he confessed them all.
Il can't face God with these things
on my conscience, he sObbed into
his nervous fingers. Thank God,
you don't have to- replied the
Christian chaplain.
Thousands of years ago the sins
of Prisoner No. 1881 had been lifted
from his soul and transferred to
the sinless soul of Jesus Christ
The Lord hath laid on Him the
iniquity of us all"
That is the unspeakable comfort
of the Christian Gospel Christ His
own self bare our sins in His own
body on the tree (the CROSSE"
In Gods court of judgment Pris-
oner No. 1881 could 60 scott free
His sentence had been served, his
crimes atoned, his punishments suf-
fered. Christ, the Son of God, and
the sinners Substitute, had done it
all And Prisoner No 1881 rejoiced
to accept this pardon.
How about YOU? You may not
have become guilty of crimes which
bar you from human society, but
simply because you are not perfect,
you must be barred from the So
ciety of heaven, unless you face
God some day in the name of Jesus
Christ. Prepare for the inevitable
future reckoning today, for then
you have nothing to fear ever. We
welcome you to use our Christian

prices and world chaos" They
argue that control of prices and
wages, and food and other ration
I ing are methods that never will
succeed, that always have proven
failure whenever tried, and that
never bring permanent economic
stability and prosperity. Senator
Ecton saws: " all our present
frenzied efforts for world peace and
economic stability are just so much
sound and fury signifying nothing. "
Senator Ecton further says: The
MarXist system of managed. econ
omy and managed currency has
so debauched our currency that
the dollar and all fiXed-dollar- value
securities have lost 90 per cent Of
their value since 1888, and continue
to lose l percent of their value
monthly Under this system of
currency bebauchery they have
not only filched SO per cent of the
American peoples savings but have
destroyed SO percent of the value
of their life insurance, pensions,
and other fixed-dollar-va value Sc
curities. This Represents a greater
loss to the American people in IA
years than was suffered through
bank failures in the preceding 140
years"
Higher prices do not reflect
greater values but cheaper dollars,
and naturally it takes more of these
cheap dollars to defray living costs,
says Ecton. "The purchasing power
of 81 to day is equivalent to 81 cents
prior to 1884
1T requires S2.7I to buy what
could be bought for ST prior TO 1884.
"A $40 daily wage today is equiv
alent to $3.50 prior to 1884.
Your 500 per month pension is
equivalent to $37 prior to 1884.
Your $4,000 life insurance policy
is equivalent to $500 prior to 1884.
And the only thing that will prevent
the purchasing power of the dol
lar from falling still lower is to
adopt a sound monetary system,
says Senator Ecton.

Unemployment
Is Light In
Lincoln County
Rv Charles d. Rowe

Jobless veterans and civilians liv-
ing in Lincoln County were paid
allowances totalling $26,696 during
the second quarter of l948, says
D. o. Mount, manager of the state
employment office at Libby. The
total amount paid out during the
first half of the year for the same
purpose was $60,746, says Mount.
Only SO placements were made
during the second quarter of the
year, which indicates a small amount
of unemployment in the county.
These Job placements consisted of
q placed in forest work, two in
mining, two in contract construc-
ton, 10 in numbering, seven in ser
vice establishments, four in private
households and one in agriculture.
Total job placements for the first
half of the year were 80.
AS of August l there were %
unemployed workers listed at the
labor office, says Mount. Fourteen
of those were women, claiming
benefits and allowances. Ten self
employed veterans also claimed al
lowances for the last quarter.
Mount further states that all men
filing unemployed claims at the
present time are of advanced age
and not acceptable, from a physical
standpoint, by most employers.
AT the end of the quarter we
find that most employers are work
ing at full capacity" reports Mr.
Mount, "and orders for workers
have begun to slow down. We also
find that our claim load is reducing
very rapidly Active claimants on
the week ending July 8, 1948, were
81 civilians, IA of which were
women, and eight veterans, three
of which were women. Twenty
eight self employed veterans claims
were filed during the second quar-
ter of 1913"

Not long ago in conversation with
a Libby workingman he said to me
that he was not as well off now
with wages from $40 to $12 a day
as he was when he was earning
only from 81 to SIS a day. Il could
save a little each month in those
days" he said. Il cannot do it to-
day. 1t takes practically every cent
earn today to pay living costs for
my wife and myself despite the big
wages l am now being paid.
That little conversation merely
emphasizes what nearly everyone
knows today. 1t isn't so much what
a man is paid in wages as what he
can buy with the wages. In other
words the purchasing value of the

Neutron Beam Fails
|As Effective Method
Of Treating Cancer
BY The Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-An
attempt to treat incurable cancer
with q beam of neutrons from a
cyclotron has ended without much
success.
Back in 1898, researchers found
that neutrons, which are compon-
ents of atomic nuclei, effectively
destroyed cancer tissue when con-
centrated into a beam to lombard
malignant cells. The neutrons did
not seem to destroy healthy cells
near the cancerous ones.
To test neutrons as a treatment
University of California medical re-
searchers over a period of five years
treated 249 persons by this method
using 100000 and 100000 volt
beams from two Berkeley cyclotrons.
Dr.. Robert S. Stone, the univer-
sity's top radiologist, said that only
III per cent of the treated patients
survived five years or more. The
f1ve-year survival rate of average
patients with incurable cancer is
5 per cent.
Thus the treatment was better
than none, but not sufficiently ef-
fective to warrant its continuance,
DR.. Stone reported in the American
Journal of Roentgenology and Ra-
dium Therapy.
One of the drawbacks, DR.. Stone
added, was that. despite first indi-
cations, the neutrons caused serious
damage to healthy cells which
showed up later.
While 18 of the treated patients
were kept alive for more than five
years, all of them had severe late
reactions" DR.. Stone said.
This is the second time in recent
months that the university has re-
ported unfavorably on atomic tests
against malignancy. Last March

Scoccimarro, one of three leftist

bilizing the state force against

u. ). Steel Lifts Prices
Average Of 1874 a
Ton, Cites Cost Rise
sy the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, July 21-The United
States Steel Corp. today raised its
prices an average of 1894 ton,
The advance wiped out a cut of
SIPS ton put into effect in April
by United States Steel subsidiaries.
Benjamin F.. Fairless, president of
the corporation. said in a statement
yesterday the April price reduction
was part of an unsuccessful effort
by these subsidiaries to aid in re-
tarding further increases in the
cost of living"
The April reduction was linked
with a refusal to raise wages and
salaries. But last Friday United
States Steel raised the wages of
10000 production workers in the
CLOS United Steel Workers Union
by 9 per cent and forecast compen-
sating price increase.
No Alternative Seen.
"Steel prices have failed to keep
pace with the very substantial in
creases in employment costs, in
transportation charges, and in the
cost of coal, scrap and other pur-
chased goods and services, creating
a financial situation where these
subsidiaries have no alternative
other than to advance their steel
prices" Mr.. Fairless said.
The new prices" he added, "em-
brace restoration of the average
price reduction of about $125 ton
made by Omitted States SteeD sub
sidiaries last April, and in addition
include an average increase of ap-
proximately $500 a ton, or about
9.6 per cent, in the base prices for
major steel products then quoted by
these subsidiaries. The amount of
the price increase varies for differ
ent products"
When the cut was posted in April
1t was said to average 81 to S. a
ton and was expected to amount
to a reduction of $25,0O0,000 a year
in domestic prices.
Cut Not Generally Followed.
This price reduction" Mr.. Fair
less said yesterday, was not gen.
orally followed throughout the steel
industry. The prices of many steel
competitors are today substantially
higher than the present prices of
UNITED States SteeD subsidiaries
for similar steel products"
There was no immediate indica-
ton of the extent to which the
s934-a-ton boost would affect the
consumer.
Many consumers already face
higher costs due to the general
abandonment of the basing point
system Of quoting steel prices.

Famed Snake Handler
Dies Of Cobra Bite
By the Associoted Press

LONG BEACH, Calf. July 21.-
Mrs. Grace Olive Wiley, 81, one of
the worlds most skillful handlers of
deadly snakes, had said she would
prefer death from a snake bite to
any other way.
Yesterday she was bitten on the
finger by one of her venomous
cobras. An hour and half later
she died.
She had been trying to make the
cobra lift its head and spread its
hood to be photographed. When
the snake struck, Mrs. Wiley calmly
removed the fangs from her finger
and replaced the reptile in its cage.
After emergency treatment she was
rushed to a hospital
Mrs. Wiley was credited with
being one of the few persons able
to train deadly cobras. Many of
her snakes had appeared in motion
pictures.
The herpetologist had been cur
ator at the Minneapolis Museum for
IL years until 1887, when she moved
here and started collecting snakes
and other reptiles.

In November they took further STEP putting
forth. a "Benelux" program (unaskeO for Germany
and laying it before the Big -Four Foreign Ministers
at London.
They urged federal constitution for Germany
and the gradual restoration of its autonomy, also
special international control Of the Ruhr industrial
region and its coordination with the economy Of
all Europe. Benelux openly supported the plan for
rebuilding Germany as self sutaining entity that
had been proposed in April 1916, by the then
United States Secretary of State James Byrnes
Failure of the London Conference to achieve any
agreement between the western powers and the
Soviet Union, of course made the Beneux pro-
posals nothing more than significant gesture
It was also this collapse of the London parley
which brought about "Bizonia"-the economic
merger under a German quas-government Of the
British and American occupation zones. Launched
early in January with @ meeting at Frankfurt,
"Bizonia" is expected to become operating reality
very soon 4 n
RecoveryIs the Objective
To get the Germans started under their own
power and take some of the burden off the occupy
ing military governments German administrative
structure was outlined. 1t will consist Of repre-
sentative parliament of two houses, German
"chief executive" and cabinet, well as German
manned high court.
1t is emphasized by British and American generals
that foreign affairs and defense do not fall into
German hands and that no permanent partition OF
Germany implied. The object is to get recovery
started as the United States foots most OF the
financial bill for the two occupation zones

As a result, the startling amount
of 40 per cent of all patients at one
institution, Hines Hospital In
Illinois, were dismissed within a few
weeks. In addition, about 40 per
cent of all new applicants at these
hospitals, after thorough examina-
tions, have been turned away.
The result in general medical hos
pitals now is that while patient
loads have decreased slightly in the
last six months, the load is COM
posed of those who are really sick. y
Last month, VA records show, there
were IS, 200 patients in all VA hos
pitals, compared with more than
80 900 last June.
The resident program Of training
young doctors while they are on
duty serves a dual purpose-to in.
crease standards of treatment and
at the same time create specialists
where frightening shortages exist
The psychiatrist training program
in hospitals for the mentally Ill
probably is the best example of this
It is this program which DR.
Magnuson feels can be "the center
of medical training and progress In
this country"
The hospitals now are training
about 1000 young residents and I'VE
have more applications than we car
fill," DR.. Magnuson said.
Veterans Not Guinea Pigs
Careful supervision of treatment
and training-and the quality o1
young doctors now in training
leave no chance that veterans will
serve as guinea pigs, DR.. Magnuson
said. The consultants, all estab-
lished specialists, are paid set fees
for each trip to the hospital.
