House investigators
AbsoIve Lucille Ball
Of Communist Ties
By the Assoeiated Pres.

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 12.-Lu-
ellie Ball. television's top comedi-
enne, never was a Communist
says the House Un-American
Activities Committee, even
though she registered as one II
years ago.
The star of the popular 81
Love Lucy" show freely admitted
to Committee Investigator Will
liam Wheeler that she registered
March 10. 1886. to vote for the
Communist ticket because
Grandpa wanted all of us to-"
But she emphatically denied
ever being a party member or
voting for party candidates.
There is no evidence that
Miss Ball is or ever was a party
member" Representative Donald
L. Jackson. Republican, of Cali
fornia. committee member, told
a news conference last night.
Facts Long Known.
Mr.. Jackson explained he
called the conference at the be-
hest of a majority of committee
members so that rumors impli-
eating Miss Ball. ~. with COM
muniSm could be scotched.
If the rumors hadn't become
widespread, he added, it is un-
likely the committee would have
made the disclosures, since it
had known for several years of
Miss Balls registration.
Mr.. Jackson said that there
is some question as to whether
Miss Ball ever voted the Com
munist ticket, but added that
this point will be cleared up to-
day with the release of the
transcript of her testimony be-
fore Mr.. Wheeler.
The same time she registered,
Mr.. Jackson said, she signed a
nominating petition for Emil
Freed, Communist Party candi-
date for the 57th California
Assembly district. He said this
also was at the request of her
grandfather, Fred C. Hunt, now
deceased. and who, the actress
said, made the political decisions
in the family.
Failed to Vote in '38.
The actress was quoted by Mr..
Jackson as saying that in addi-
tion to herself, her mother, Mrs.
DeSiree Ball, and brother, Fred
H. Ball, all registered to vote
Communist in 1886.
Miss Balls registration lapsed
two years later, records showed,
because she failed to vote in
1888.
Mr.. Jackson said Mr.. Freed
Miss Ball a member
of the State Central Committee
of the Communist Party, but
added that Miss Ball denied
having authorized him to do so.
Testimony of Communist Party
of the 1930s corrob-
Grated Miss Balls statements,
Mr.. Jackson said. He said they
testified they never saw her at
a party meeting.

Revival OF Old
Badness Cure
To Be Tried

READING, Pa. Up - Mayor
James B. Banford, who says he's
been as bald as an Easter egg for
20 of his Is years, has new hope
today for a crop Of suzz-or some
thing better.
Banford said he had received
from Donald S. Gates, an Albright
professor, ''sure cure" formula
for badness uncovered by Gates
in thumbing through book pub
lished in 1742.
The formulas ingredients:
Two ounces of boar's grease, one
dram (about so grains by present
apothecary weight of ashes Of
burnt bees, one dram of ashes Of
southern wood, one dram of juice
of white dilly root 1.-THE dilly is
small hardwood tree found in
Florida), one dram Of oil of sweet
almonds, and six drains of pure
musk.
81 think I can get hold Of those
other things" said Banford, 'sbut
what's worrying me are those
burnt bees"

FoREsEEs No BUSINESS SLIME

Walter Williams. Under-SecretAry of Commerce
recently told the American Retail Federation in Wash
ington that intensive sales promotion could increase
consumer buying to extent which would more than
compensate for any sag following reduced government
defense spending Mr. Williams mentioning next year as
the year when orders would decrease told
the ARR that there many wants not salts
fled today.
He also believes the economy is prosperous and pre-
SCENTS challenge to the abilities Of retailers
wholesalers and manufacturers"
Williams admitted consumer savings were not what
they were after World War II but said salesmanship
could make up for the lack of savings He advocated in
creased production the key raising the standard of
living, noting that intelligent selling program would
be necessary to keep production at peak levels after
Tense orders slacken.
The Under-Secretary Of Commerce takes the same
position that several economic advisers to former Pres
dent Harry Truman took short time ago. They foresaw
drop in defense orders but advocated an
Increase in the standard Of living, and increased pro-
duction as the key to avoiding economic recession
Evidently, Williams holds much the same view and it
interesting to note in this regard that the population
increase which is annual in the United
States helps buying in the United States annually
Thus the increase in population viii be another factor
which help prevent severe drop in total consumer
demand.
Most OF the consumer experts seem agreed on the
prospect that 1864 will be the test year for the u S.
economy, but of them convinced that no major
recession will be experienced then. With the in
creasng population and with the attempt of the Ad
minsraon Of President Dwight Eisenhower to increase
the standard of living the effects of reduced
buying be felt very little this outlook proves cor
rect, may be time before major economic re-
cession Is experienced in this country.

stomach. When these glands are
involved the cure falls 20 10 per
cent. II is indeed tragic that so
often when a cancer Of the sto-
mach is detected, il has progressed
so far that a curative operation
cannot be undertaken.
The problem, then, is early rec
ignition.
What are the symptoms OF stom-
ach cancer that any person can
recognize? They can be summed
up in the term indigestion" In
digestion means many things to
many people--ranging from heart
burn, dyspepsia Or loss of appe-
tite TO nausea, pain and vomiting.
1t is folly for persons experiencing
such symptoms for any period Of
time to treat themselves for in
digestion. Expert diagnosis Is
called for. While pills may stop the
signs for trouble, the cancer--if
one is presents given time to
grow.
More important, however, than
recognition of these symptoms or
signs is a periodic X-ray examine
ton by specialists Of all people
past 4O--the age after which stom-
ach cancer most often strikes.
BY the time stomach cancer
is diagnosed on the basis Of SYM
toms, it probably has been present
for two years. This long silent in
terval and the frequent occurrence
of stomach cancer definitely sug-
gests that the most effective way
Of early detection is by periodic
X-ray examination. People without
symptoms who are found by X
ray to be harhoring a silent cancer
show a far higher cure rate after
operations than those where the
cancer has been detected because
of symptoms.
In a generation, stomach cam
cer-once regarded as almost hope
less--has become amenable to sur
gicai treatment. II is now durable.
The problem is 20 detect its pres
ence In time. The major dread--as
in all cancer--Should be the fear
Of neglect.

NO FORCIBLE
REPATRIATION
TO BE ALLOWED
BY IohN IA. HlcHToWER


WASHINGTON IN - The United
States was reported Wed. as de-
termined to stand firm, in any
truce talks which develop in Ko-
rea. on the principle that prisoners
Of war shall not forcibly be re-
turned home.
Officials puzzling over 4 Korean
armistice plan broadcast by Chi
nese Communist Premier Chou En-
Iai and distributed among the
United Nations asserted there can
be no compromise on this point
and no acceptance Of any compli-
Gated formula which would have
the effect Of compromising 1t.
Ch0u's statement indicated the
Reds might be prepared to accept
voluntary repatriation Of prisoners,
but whether that is their real in.
tention remains to be spelled out, N
further exchanges and almost cer-
tainly In renewed negotiations at
Panmunjom.
In his message, the Chinese
leader said there are soldiers cap
tured from the Communist forces
who. under the intimidation and
oppression Of the opposite side, are
filed with apprehension and are
afraid to return home.''
He proposed that they ''be hand
ed over to a neutral state, and
that explanations be given them
by parties concerned, thus insur-
ing that the question Of their re-
patriation win be justly settled and
win not obstruct tie realization Of
an armistice in Korea"
Assuming that agreement can be
reached on . state which is truly
neutral, informants here suggested
it would be necessary to spell out
safeguards to make certain that
any prisoners OF the U. N. forces
who are determined not to 20
home would not be compelled TO

On the surface Choa.s proposal
