distinct s. or s'!"
Thus an inscription completely hidden - possibly
for century. or even longer = was now brought
FORTH We have. then, 1905. age 40 This corresponds
nicely to Sfakespeare's age. He became Al in the
latter half of April of that year.
There is no question regarding the period in which
the portrait was painted. To establish this point
beyond doubt THIS WEEK Magazine consulted William
Suhr, well known art comoisseu, Mr. Suhr selected
areas of the painting which he anayzed chemically
In his findings, dated February H. 1854. Mr.. Suhr
said the examination shows. in my opinion. that the
picture must have been executed in the first quarter
of the seventeenth century The texture of the paint
film in the test areas is similar to those Of other
documented paintings of this period"
The year 1905 was the likely time for portrait as
Shakespeare was at the pinnacle of success. Surely
an artist must now do his portrait.
What No the Letters Mean?
The painting has the distinctive head formation of
the Droeshout engraving and the bust. The hair is
long and bushy down to the ruff The nose is strong
and straight. the colors correspond to the bust.
Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's friend, supports the
Droeshout engraving likeness. The epublsher and
editor of the 1923 plays" do the same. 1t is un-
likely that they would misrepresent Shakes
peare's appearance. or use picture which did
not look like the poet.
The concurrences thus take in date, age and appear
ance. What is the meaning of the 9" S" or s'? Were
there other letters preceding or following? Perhaps
the photographers and experts on Elizabethan por-
traitWe can throw light on this.
Should the identity be fully confirmed. English
culture will have gained significant contribution.
The authenticated portrait must have unprecedented
value = must be considered priceless. In such por
trait the incompatible man of letters is before US
even as he appeared to the people of London three
and half centuries ago! The End

Mckay Denies Bias !,
Against Public Power
In New York Speech
BY ihe Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Secre-
tary of the Interior Douglas
a Mckay said last night speech
3 he made here Tuesday night was
misconstrued to indicate that he
opposes public power and social
security.
The Associated Press reported
1 Mr.. Mckay had attacked public
Spower as Federal monopoly"
and had scoffed at social security
{ theories.
This, Mr.. Mckay said last
/ night, twas certainly not ex-
! pressing what I said" in a speech
Z before the Manufacturing Chem
{ lists Association.
"At no time have 7 or the
administration been opposed to
public power" Mr.. Mckay said.
Were opposed to the Federal
Governments furnishing all the
power to the people Of the United
3 States
The Secretary cited an extern
1 sion of social security by the
Eisenhower administration to
I cover an additional 10 million
persons in discussing his views
on the subject.
Remarks Were "Off Cuff"
~ He said that in Tuesday
/ nights remarks he had expressed
opposition to excessive" social
security of the "cradle-to-the-
grave type.
The Secretary touched on
social security and public power
Tuesday night in off -the-cutf
remarks after delivering a pre-
pared address on other matters.
He said "the Governor" in
the Pacific Northwest had s'beat-
en-" moves to set up a public
power authority in that area.
In his home State of Oregon,
Mr.. Mckay said, 1--WE don't want
bureaucrats coming out and tell
ing us how we're going to live
we'll tell them"
"Socialistic Propaganda"
Saying the country 'is being
handed a lot of socialistic prop
aganda," Mr.. Mckay declared
that the idea of security from
the cradle to the grave Is "in1-
possible" and "hogwash."
"If the Nation ever reaches
the point where individual Sc
curity becomes primary OBJ
jective, we're headed for the
rocks" he added.
The secretary said after COM
pleting his prepared address:
"That was for the press. Now
I want to talk to you a couple
of minutes off the record"
When questioned by a report
er later, he said, What I meant
was not off. the, record, but off
the cuff" E q "
Also in his unprepared re-
marks, he expressed sympathy
for the Nations coal miners and
described that industry as
"sick." He said prime reason
is the replacement Of coal burn
ing locomotives by diesels.
Comments on Indians. @1y
In another observation, he
said it costs $88 million to keep
American Indians on reserva-
tions, and asserted:
"The sooner we start treating
the Indians like citizens, the
better off the Indians will be
and the less it will cost the tax
payers"
In his prepared address, Mr..
Mckay held out hope that the
"next few years" may see the
domestic water supplies Of
coastal cities augmented by use
of desalted sea water.
He cited research into the
conversion of saline and brack-
ish water as one of the fields in
which chemists and other scien-
fists "have worked zealously with
department people in painstaking
efforts to devise an economical
. and efficient method which may
well reyolutionize the agricul-
tural and industry economy of
certain areas of the world"
