Vermont Gold Rush" Didn't Last Long

RICHFORD, Vt., R-George Tyler will be remembered long as the man who spoiled the weekend "gold rush" in this Canadian bor- der town of 2,600.
 Diggers excavating a cellar-hole for a Knights of Columbus build ing made the strike" and nitric acid test, applied by local jewel CT, seemed to indicate they had struck the real thing.
 But along came Tyler, principal of nearby Enosburg High School, to pronounce the "gold" iron or copper pyrite-" -"fool's gold"- which resembles the $35 per fine troy ounce article in everything but value.

Bankers Say

Following article appeared in The American Banker
Magazine. 1t might give some slant on business,
your business, well as the matter of building
up your town.
mo business man in any town should allow
a newspaper published in his town to go without his
name and business being mentioned somewhere in
it's columns. This does not mean you should have
whole, half quarter page ad in each issue
of the paper but your name and business should be
mentioned, if you do not use than
two line space
"A stranger picking up newspaper should
be able to tell what business is represented in town
by looking at the paper. This is the best possible
town advertiser
"The man who does not advertise his business
does injustice to himself and the town. The
who insists on sharing the business that comes to
town, but refuses to advertise his own is not
valuable addition to any town.
"The life of town depends on the live
wide-awake and libera-advertising business men,"

will bring you help in planning your advertising.

Upset Emotions, Stomach
Recesses Susan Hayward
Jess Barker Divorce Trial

BURBANK, Calf, Up - While
Susan Hayward nursed her upset
emotion today, attorneys for the
movie queen and her actor hus-
band tried to get together on a
settlement Of their divorce trial.
The trial took an abrupt recess
yesterday Afternoon when she re
ported sick after lunch. One of
her lawyers said it was an emo
tional upset, another called it
food poisoning. It was both.
S. S. Hahn, counsel for actor
Jess Barker, said that Miss Hay
ward had offered 100000 as a
settlement but that the offer was
turned down because "of certain
strings attached"
Barker later explained that the
strings included a desire on the
part of the actress to pay off the
100000 as alimony.
Glow do you suppose that
would make me look?" the actor
asked a reporter.
Part of Miss Hayward's emo
tiona1 distress stemmed, one
source reported, from testimony
which had her daShing through
her rear yard in the nude, chased
by a threatening Barker.
She worried about the effect
such sensationalism would have
on the couples twin sons and on
the moviegoing public. The COM
bination of worry and something
she ate brought on the sickness
the friend added.

Official quarters in Washington

an ultimatum to quit some time
Tuesday. The report, which was
described as lacking full official
confirmation, said Arbenz had
agreed to get out provided the
army guaranteed not to modest
any Guatemalans.
Observers generally concede
that Arbenz himself is not a Com
munist. But his regime has had
strong backing form the Reds,
and in return he has made numer-
Gus concessions to them and given

Mccarthy Demands People Be Given
Facts in Conduct Of Korean War and
In Loyalty Board Clearing Of Reds

) WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Nc
Carthy demanded Tuesday that
the American people be given all
the facts about conduct of the
Korean War, about loyalty boards
accused of clearing Commun-
ists," and about what Mccarthy
called ''traitorous order" by the
Truman Administration on For
moSa.
Mccarthy delivered speech on
these subjects during one of his
1O-minute questioning periods at
the Army Mccarthy hearings.
Army Counselor Joseph N.
WEIGH had questioned whether
members of the Army Loyalty
Board should be called before
the Mccarthy subcommittee and
asked to explain chow come you
decided the way you did"
Mccarthy declared members Of
the board had returned Commu-
nists to secret radar laboratories
at Fl. Monmouth, NJ, and had
returned subversives to Fl. Meade,
Md, despite rulings against them
by lower boards.
Mccarthy said the board sent
Communists ''back to positions
where they could keep a razor
blade poised over the jugular vein
Of the nation"
AS for Korea, Mccarthy re-
viewed the dismissal Of General
Douglas Macarthur by President
Truman and quoted Maj. Gen.
FRANKIE E. Lowe as saying thou
sands Of lives could have been
saved if Macarthur had been
permitted to win the war" and
had not been "hamstrung' by the
State Department.
Mccarthy also denounced an
order by President Truman di-
recting the Seventh Fleet to pro
tect Formosa, the haven of Ma
tionalist China, from Communist
attack and also to prevent any at
tack by Nationalist on the Chi
nese mainland.
Mccarthy, quoting President
Eisenhower's statement when Els
enhower rescinded the order, said
it amounted to making the Sew
enth Fleet "defensive arm Of
Communist China"
