THINKS VOICE SHOULD
REFUSE ADS FROM

Dear Sir: l have just finished read
ing the last issue of the Voice (Oct.
2D. 1 have always enjoyed read
ing it but this week I will have to
admit l was shocked and disappointed
when l saw you had taken an adv.
from the Communist Party.
Your loyal supporters are having
to continually battle against the very
words ga communist Sheet, and it
is ill-advised that you print their in
siduous propaganda.
| am a great believer in the phil
osophy that the way to treat them is
to ignore them-the hella-baloo in
the nation today is simply making
martyrs of them in this great "act"
created to befuddle. They are be-
ing used as the smokescreen for ma
tional and international insecurity,
muddling. AS Everybody wants to
get into the act' political and indust-
rial forces are jumping on the band
wagon to further their own selfish
interests.
1t seems we impair the standing
of the Voice when we glorify the
martyrdom under the cover of which
they are making hay by inflicting
on people who believe in
the principles of democracy MAR

Trucks Loose Tags
Lead Police 10 Raid
On Montgomery Still

The first moonshine still discov-
cred in Montgomery County in
many years was found yesterday
through investigation Of a minor
traffic violation.
Six colored men have been
charged with possession OF illegal
and untaxed whisky from the still
as a result of yesterdays raid.
/ Police gave the following account
of how the still near Rockville was
discovered:
Pvts. Clyde Ward and Dave
Bissett became suspicious at 2 am.
yesterday when large truck
pulled out of a dirt road in front
the their patrol car on Viers Mill
road about miles east of Rock
vile. Pvt. Ward said sheet had
been tied over the trucks cargo.
Pvt. Bissett noted that the rear
license tag was loose and mud
covered.
This gave us an excuse TO
stop the truck because license
tags should not be loose or OBJ
scured in any way" he. said.
When the truck pulled to a halt
two men jumped out. leaving a
third asleep in the cab. Seconds
later the policemen saw the two
men jump into a car that had
stopped about 100 yards behind
the truck.
BY this time police had found
that the truck carried 100 half
gallon jars of moonshine whisky.
Pvt. Bissett stayed with the man

chased the car several miles at
speeds between IS and 90 miles

ran into the woods. police said.
Pvt. Ward arrested the driver.
Other police were called ard four
men who police said had jumped
from the car were found aloIg

Police then launched a search
for the still and finally located 1t
in a wooded area near the spot
where they first spotted the truck.

The brothers have been really in
dignant on only one such occasion.
This was when a phony prospector
tried to interest them in a cleverly
rugged tungsten deposit which had
been sailed with ore stolen from
their own mine. They both reoog-

is to sell them a ''salted' mine.
Most of them try the same
trick" Dick explains. They re-
move the shot from a shotgun shell,
replace it with powdered gold and
fire the gun at close range into a
likely looking outcrop of rock"

pies of scheelite, another tungsten
ore."
That explained why the stones
were 50 heavy. The word tungsten"
itself. tung meaning heavy and stem
meaning stone, was thought up by
the Swedes back in 1755.
The Hamme brothers had STUN
bled upon a tremendously valuable
source of tungsten. a critical metal.
One reason for its Importance is that
it has the highest melting point of
all metals, 6,098'F. 1t is in great
demand for sparkling points and
incandescent lamps. Its hardness
and toughness make it indispensable
for armor-piercing projectiles, such
as anti-tank shells. 1t is also used
in radar, electronic devices and
in our atomic stockpile.
The Hamme brothers optioned
700 acres of land on which there
were tungsten-ore fences. They ran
the fences through a crude stamp
mill to extract the tungsten ore.
Then they dug for more, and in the
end they had sold $13, 900 worth of
tungsten.
When the experts came down to
look things over, some said that
while there might be a lot of ore
underground there really shouldn't
be. The geographic location of the
mine was wrong. 1t should be some
where in China where most tungsten
comes from.

going.
The Hamme brothers decided that

that the little nugget had taken to
its resting place. They found a gold
deposit.
Most prospectors think of the
West and the Northwest as logical
territory for gold hunting" says Joe
Hamme. But there are many nice
spots from Virginia on down to
Georgia where a couple of fellows
could take a little nest egg, say
$4,000 or $4,000, without expen-
sive machinery"
Gold isn't the only metal that
pays of. One Sunday afternoon on
a walk through the pine woods that
surround Oxford, the brothers sat
down on an old stone fence to rest.
For generations Vance County to-
bacco farmers have been clearing
their land of the stone that has gone
into the making of such fences. 1t
is of heavy grayish-white quartz,
peculiarly marked with dark-brown
veins. 1t lies in piles bordering the
zigzag rail fences at the edges of the
tobacco and corn fields.

so they collected some specimens
and drove with them to Raleigh.
There they had them analysed by
DR.. Jasper L. STICKY, North Caro-
lima state geologist.
"Hubnerite, a tungsten ore of the
wolfram family" the geologist told
them. And these specimens which

they like prospecting better than
mining, SO they sold out to lungs
ten-mining corporation for a hand
some cash sum and royalties on
production.
Neither Joe nor Dick will let on
just how much. They had disturb
ing visions of being besieged by
yacht statesmen.
Both of the Hammes live conserv-
atively with their families. When
they sold their tungsten mine Dick
splurged a bit. He likes to tinker in
his spare time. So he built himself
large home workshop and bought
some new tools and power driven
drill and saw.
An Kinds Il Finds
Then Joe and Dick went back to
their unique and productive method
of prospecting. Since, they have dis
covered amethyst deposits which
would be at home in Brazil, garnets
which belong in Arizona or South
Africa, and impressive specimens of
other minerals.
All of their finds have been within
a convenient. but undisclosed, dis

erning estates, including claims
Of creditors, administrators fees
and court expenses. Thus the vet
eran's heirs might easily lose
some of the insurance money
which they might otherwise have
received.
On the other hand, if the vet
eran names specific beneficiary
and the insurance is paid to him
or her, it is exempt from taxation
and from any claims made by
creditors. The money is not liable
to attachment, levy or seizure
under any legal process, either
before or after receipt by the
beneficiary. The only exception
to this rule is the u. S. govern
ment may make claims against
the insurance.
Hence, veterans can protect
their heirs against possible finan-
cial loss by naming a beneficiary,
and they can add to that protec-
ton by naming a contingent ben
eficiary to whom the insurance
is 10 be paid if the first benefi-
ciary should die without receiv-
ing the money.

President\T Truman stood by his
guns on his demands for his civil
rights program.
While no applause came from
southern bloc, since this was the
cause of the Dixiecrat split in the
party, the president did receive
scattered applause from both
Democrats and Republicans. In
all, throughout his half-hour
speech he was applauded at 80
separate times.
The consensus among leaders
in Washington, Republicans and
Democrats alike, is that this con-
gress will give the President a
majority of his proposals as he
wants them.
1t may be that some of the
more controversial, such as a pre-
paid health insurance program,
will result in a compromise with
the congress setting up the ma
chinery for only a start on the
program. Whether he will get his
tax increase is problematical. He
asked for four billion dollar
increase in taxes, most of it to
come from corporate taxes, es-
tate and gift taxes. But if his pro-
gram is enacted, the program on
which he went to the people dur
ing the campaign and which the
people apparently approved, it
will take more than four billion
! dollars to put it into effect.

Reaction to President Truman's
state of the union message here
in Washington has been generally
good. Farmers and labor were
pleased. Business leaders who
have barely recovered from the
shock of November 2 are at least
relieved and are no longer seeing
"ghosts" around every corner.
Reaction from Republican lead
ers in the 80th congress is what
was expected-''His program will
bankrupt the country" or "It is
a socialistic manifesto" or "It is
pure communism" or HE is
playing dice with the taxpayers
money"
AS a matter of fact, there was
nothing new, nothing dramatic in
the entire message, one of the
shortest on record. The president
merely wrapped up in a half
hour message a summation Of the
$50 speeches he made in $4,000
miles OF, campaigning which sold
the people on his reelection. He
carried out his own pledges and
those in the Democratic platform.
To big business supplying vital
materials in short supply, such as
steel, Mr.. Truman made a prom
iSe and at the same time threat
ened. He said we must have more
steel, that the government want
ed private industry to give the
country more production, that
the government was willing to
help, even lend them money to
build new plants or expand pres
ent plants if necessary, but that
if the increased production was
not forthcoming from the indus
try itself, then it is the function
of government ''to authorize the
construction of such facilities di-
rectly if action by private indus
try fails to meet our needs"
The presidents message was
followed by immediate action by
the congress. The joint session
had hardly adjourned and the
separate houses reconvened when
bills to carry out the presidents
program began to pour into the
legislative hopper-one by Sena-
tor O'Mahoney of Wyoming to
halt monopoly and cartels; one
by Senator Myers of Pennsyl-
vania to raise minimum wage
rates; one by Senator Maybank
of South Carolina to repeal fed
eral taxes on oleomargarine; one

NEWS FOR WAR VETERANS

One of the most important
things for eX-servicemen to do
about their National Service Life
Insurance is the naming of ben
eficiary or beneficiaries of their
policies, the VA said today.
Unless veteran gives this
matter thoughtful consideration,
he may fail to get the most out
of his insurance. For instance, if
no beneficiary is named, the
policyholder may be risking fl
nancial loss to his heirs. Up to
August l, 1916, it was not alb
solutely necessary for the veteran
to name primary and contingent
beneficiaries because the law
provided for payment of the in
surance to legal heirs in a spec
flied order. Now, however, if the
veteran dies without naming a
beneficiary, or if the beneficiary
should die before the policy
holder, the insurance will be paid
in a lump sum to the veterans
estate.
If this happens, and the insur-
ance becomes part of an estate,
it is subject to all the laws gov
