Either Fuel Oil Is Plentiful
Or 1t Is In Short Supply
To the Editor of The Star:

The Star for September IA contained an
article stating that the price of fuel oil has
been advanced twice in the past month by
the ESQ Standard Oil Co. It was said that
ESQ explains these advances as necessary to
induce refiners to increase production.
Last July my fuel oil supplier wrote urg-
ing customers to buy oil during July and
August because supplies were at an all-time
high. The reason given for this surplus
was that fuel oil is q necessary by-produat Of

Ghost of Big Bill

To the Editor Of The Star:

It might have been merely coincidence
On the other hand, the blackened sky and
washy rains that enveloped Washington dur
ing the descent upon the Worlds Capital by
the British finance tycoons and their schol-
arly retinue could have been from the flaying
of the clouds by the sheet ends of the ghost
of Big Bill Thompson.
The fact that sunshine burst forth on
completion of the talks may be that Bill

what we mean when say person is acting like baby. We have expression to describe psycho- logically mature person. We occasionally refer to someone as being very big or in Fosdcks terms a real person. list of the qualities of such an indi- vdual might read as follows:
 "One who finds greater satisfaction in giving than he does in receiving.
 one who has the capacity to form satisfying and permanent royalties to people.
 One who receives as well gives satisfaction in such relationship.
 One who is creative not only in his daily life but in his leisure time.
 "One who contributes to the improvement of his family, his job and his community.
 "One who has the ability to learn and to profit from making mistakes and achieving success
 One who is relatively free from fears, anxieties or tensions.
 "One who is capable of riding rough spots in life and going on to his destination
 From consideration either of the definition of mental health or the concept of emotional maturity apparent that of consistently maintains or perhaps ever reaches the ideal state We are all human and we make mistakes and have failures. We tumble the ball; dub the shot, Nevertheless, the sign of good mental health is the ability to live with ourselves and other people happily productvey and acceptably."

WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?

With Dr. Overholser and Dr. Cameron, two of the nations top psychatrsts, touring Alaska with view to solving the Territorys problems of mental health it is interesting to find in the Ketchikan News an editorial that answers the question to What Is Mental Heath?"
 Editor Charles found the following definition of mental health in The Menninger Foundation News Let ter and frankly glad that Dr. Menninger does not expect us all to reach the ideal state that he suggests in the requirements outlined, it would be df- ficult to qualify:
 First should start with an understanding of what mental health s It is not merely the absence disease disability It is positive state of affairs Of the many definitions that have heard and read, still prefer the written by my brother Karl in his book THE HUMAN MIND
 Mental health is the adjustment of human be- ings to the world and to each other with a maximum of effectiveness and happiness Not just efficiency just contentmen-or the grace of obeying the rules of the game cheerfuy It is all of these together. It is the ability to maintain even temper alert intelligence socially considerate behavior, happy disposition.
 Another positive concept is that mental health depends upon emotional maturity. Everyone knows

 What the Senate investigators have in mind is formal demand that Vaughan be hailed before a court-martial
 Such a demand would put Presi- dent Truman on the spot. It would be wholly up to him to decide whether Vaughan is tried. The President has immediate jurisdic- tion over Vaughan, and no one in the Army would risk ordering him court-martialed without Presiden- tial approval.
 The Senators are fully aware C1 this. That's why their plan has such a strong appeal for them Putting the President on the spot is one of the primary objectives.
 However. other Republican Sena- tors are less enthusiastic.
 One proposed a modification. He suggested dropping the court-mar- tial demand and substituting in- stead removal of Vaughan as CO., ordinator of Veterans Affairs. The Senator pointed out that the claim could be that Vaughan is unfit to handle veteran affairs and the President could be put directly on the spot with millions of ex-ser- vicemen.
 Another Republican Senator, a party leader, was opposed to the whole idea of taking any action against Vaughan, unless the Demo- crats took the initiative. His view was that it would be better COP strategy for Vaughan to continue as a prominent member of the Presidents entourage. In that pos ition he would be vulnerable tar get in next years elections.
 We could plaster the country with billboards reading Have you got your freezer yet!" the Repub- lican leader pointed out If we give Truman the chance to get rid of Vaughan, he might take us up I would if were in his place. We don't want to outsmart ourselves in the matter"
 Note Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, R.. Me, has sharply chid- ed her investigating col leagues in closed-door sessions for talking out of turn. If we are going to permit testimony to leak, she said, i've might as well save time by giving everything to the press. That is not my idea of a fair investigation"
