Mccarthy Ignores Ike's Advice In Blast At Demos

WASHINGTON, R-Fresh Sen atorial charges that Democrats had consorted with Communists indicated Thursday that President Eisenhower's advice to Republi- cans to soften their political blows may be ignored outside his own cabinet and staff.
 Reiterating his characterization of Democratic administrations as 20 years of treason," Sen. Me Carthy said he will not, to win Democratic support for parts of Eisenhower's program, change his tactics.
 "The price is too high" he told a Lincoln Day audience of some 5000 persons in San Mateo, Calif., Wednesday night. Referring to the Democrats, he declared that We can't whiteWash them or we would be guilty of crime worse than theirs"
 Mccarthy and Sen. Jenner, in sisting they are only reciting the facts, said they intend to continue to do so.
 Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell of the Democratic National Com mittee said at Portland, Ore, that Eisenhower did not go far enough when he said he would advise his official family to avoid extreme partisanship.
 Eisenhower said the times are too serious for such tactics.
 Sen. Monroney D-Okla) said the President failed to meet the issue" Monroney said i've don't mind the extreme partisanship, but it is the extreme treason" which he said some COP speakers have been attributing to Demo crats.

Egyptian Government Auctions Karouk's Things

CAIRO, Egypt, R - The sing song chant of an auctioneer rang out in three languages through the tapestried halls of ex-King Far ouk's Koubbeh Palace Friday.
 The sharp crack of a marble gavel marked the beginning of the sale of the deposed monarch's s fabulous and fantastic collections by Egypt's military run govern ment.
 First on sale Friday was Far ouk's hoard of postage stamps London's big stamp house, H. R. Harmer Ltd., which catalogued the collection expects the six-day stamp auction to bring in 100000 pounds (288,25M.
 All told, the government hopes to get more than five million dol lars from Farouk's auction which has brought loud protests from FarOuk in exile. Farouk claimed the sale was illegal and threatened to sue any buyers of his "pro- perty," but President Naguib's S government retorted it would guarantee title to all goods sold.

Scotland Yard Spreads
 Nationwide Dragnet For Strangler of Two Women

LONDON, R- Scotland Yard spread nationwide dragnet Fri day for the brutal strangler of a prim little great grandmother, Lady" Menzies, and her red haired daughter at their sedate old folks home.
 A police alert went out for two men known to have frequented the many-gabled Broom mansion tucked away in a quiet Victorian style London suburbs. Airports and seaports got the descriptions of a middle-aged man and hand some, bearded young man with pierced ears. Police said they wanted to question them.
 The 68-year-old Mrs. M ary Menzies, known to the 19 aged residents of the home she ran as Lady Menzies," was found beat en and strangled in front of a cold hearth Thursday. The half clothed body of her daughter, Mrs. Isobel Chesney, 42, was found submerged in an upstairs bath tub.
 It was believed the women were murdered late Wednesday night while the old folks slept peace fully. So quietly did the strangler strike that not even Mrs. Menzies' two dogs parked a warning.

Senator Butler Starts Action To
 Open Alaska's 49- Million Acre
 Petroleum Reserve To Public Use

Ter said, q believe the Naval pet roleum reservation should be can- celled immediately and that area be opened up to private develop ment under the Mineral Leasing Act.
 ''I am writing to urge that this be done at the earliest possible date. hope you will initiate ac- tion toward that end.'
 Butler said the Navy's views had been obtained in the course of the territories subcommittee in- quiry-during deliberations on the Alaska statehood bill-on whether major portions of government land in the territory could be released for disposal to private use.
 The Naval petroleum reserve, Butler noted, comprises 49 million acres" almost exactly equal to the entire land area of my state of Nebraska.
 In Alaska, he said, the reserva- tion lis taken as a symbol of a federal policy which has stifled all development there This out worn policy, far from fostering true conservation, has simply locked resources up in a state of nOn-use. Prompt revocation of the orders establishing this reserva- tion would have a tremendous effect in convincing the people of Alaska there has been a marked change for the better in Washing ton"
 In view of the Navy's statement, the senator said, "any attempt to keep this gigantic area in reserVa- ton status any longer would be completely indefensible in the eyes of the Alaskans."

ST. VALENTINES DAY

Despite popular conceptions in various sections of the country there is general agreement as to the origin of St. Valentines Day observe today Perhaps the most logical explanation of how the Valentine came to be connected with day on which lovers send tokens another lies in it's connection with prevalent belief in Europe in the Middle Ages.
 Literature of this period, beginning about the time of Chaucer, shows that the popular conception was that the birds began to mate February A. Thereafter English literature frequently mentions the day a sacred one for lovers. This how the day con- nected with lovers. The itself could have come from either of three great Valentines
 One priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni and third of which very little is known Perhaps various people connected various saints with the day. but the day always February 4 and the connection with the lovers probably began during the Middle Ages with the popular belief about the birds mating season.
 From this beginning, the custom of observing St. Valentines Day has grown into of the most beaut- ful customs. especially for younger people, in the United States and elsewhere.
 Probably the largest valentine ever known was presented to the United States on February IA 1912 It had an area of 596 miles and it became the 18th state in the Union. It was the former Territory of Arizona, now known as the Grand Canyon State It could well be called the "Valentine State"
 If all New Years resolutions were laid end to end they wouldn't reach to the first of February.

Angry g Taxpayer
 Paws Silver Dollars With Blood In Tub

DIES MONIES, Iowa, R-An irate taxpayer, who paid part of a $13,542 federal tax claim with a tub full of silver dollars over which he poured two buckets of blood, threw the US. tax office into a furor here Wednesday.
 The taxpayer, Robert Friel, 27, of Council Bluffs, said he staged the dramatic incident to raise hell" with tax collectors because he said they had harassed his parents during an investigation of his finances.
 He drew the ire of Iowa Internal Revenue Director Frank Halpin who accused Friel of defacing US. money. But after the Secret Ser vice ruled that the silver dollars were not defaced unless they were permanently damaged, Halpin agreed to accept the payment.
 However, he insisted that Friel count it. That took Friel more than two hours. The payment add ed up to $4,997.
 Friel, who has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Congress from the 7th Iowa District, showed up at the revenue office with over a hundred bags of silver dollars.
 As curious women employees of the income tax division milled about the corridor, he dumped the money into a washtub. Then he sloshed over the money two one quart buckets of blood which he said he got from a packing house.

the net when there was big splash that almost capsized her canoe. She quickly padded away from it. From a safe distance she watched to see what her net had caught for her. After a brief mo- ment there was another struggle in the. net, followed by a big splash.
 "A mermaid!" Aye-mee Whis- pered incredulously. She saw her head and a fish tail as it threw herself out of the water in an effort to get free. Her long black hair was tangled in the meshes of the willoW-bark net in a hope less mess. Aye-mee could not do anything but sit in her canoe and stay close to the shore as the furious struggle went on. The mermaid thrashed about, threw herself into the air, only to land with a deafening slap on the sur face of the water. Aye-mee's net was made to hold anything it caught. Its post and the anchor did not budge an inch. After what seemed an endless struggle, the mermaid had spent her strength. She sank to the bottom along with the net. Aye-mee ventured out close to it when the big waves subsided. She was about to touch the net with her paddle when white arms reached out for her canoe. She backed away just in time and shuddered when long fingernails ran along the bottom of the birchbark canoe.

that could suck mans breath and blind him with particles of stinging snow. Kill-each tutt-cat (white hawks moon) they called this month. So the food that was put up was mainly for this month.
 Aye-mee was picking berries on the tundra. Low bushes she had to walk around, while thinking of the coming winter that was sure to bring hunger along with its cold. Flocks of young ptarmigan did not scurry into bushes to hide like they formerly did during other summers Little brown fluffs of rabbits did not nibble on swamp grass. She walked to the lagoon and sat down on the pebbly shore and watched the surface of the water, straining her eyes to see if there were nipples that could be made by playful fish. There was none.
 This small lagoon was filled by the flow of waters from the low banks on it's south side. It was a round lake, is slough running eastward, making long sandspit Mhere the village was located.
 ''If I set my net in the lagoon, wonder if it could catch fish," Aye-mee said aloud. She had never seen anyone setting a net here but the lagoon was deep enough. She went home to get her birchbark canoe and her water WilloW-bark net, with meshes small enough to catch Whitefish.
 She set her net; it was long but it did not even reach the middle of the lagoon. She padded about it to see if it was tangled. Through the clear water she could see that it swayed a little. The floats, stained pink at the tips, brilliantly bobbed as she made nipples with her paddle. Back ashore she went to pick more berries. After a while she watched to see if the floats were being tugged, but they were still. It had not caught any fish.
 Next morning she went to see it. There were no floats showing on the water. She launched her canoe and padded close to where the net had been. She saw the rope that held it to a post was still there. The net had sunk to the bottom. She was about to stick her paddle down to touch

BY LEILA OMAN

The traders that came to Kot- zebue each summer, had gone back to their villages. Leaving behind just the evidences of camping places, memories of big potlatches and merry dancing.
 Left behind, too, were families that had learned to like Kotzebue. They were people from the vil- lages along the coast and the three rivers, Noatak, Kobuk, and Selawik.
 This year this growing village had not done so well. The sea animals were scarce, the fish very few. The salmon that came in hordes each year, almost choking the inlet, as they swan into Noa- talk and Kobuk Rivers to spawn, were not plentiful. Few that were caught were used to maintain the living during the summer. Older people predicted hard times ahead. Some talked of summers like this that were followed by cold, stormy winters, when many had died of hunger.
 Early in the spring reports from the interior told of rabbits in migration to other parts of the country. No one had noticed any ptarmigan roasting nearby. Even little birds did not twitter joyous ly on low bushes.
 In one of these winters, even a tomcod could not be caught through the ice, although the presence of this very necessary and highly nutritious fish was a relief to the people during winter months. All knew that famine in the country was a certainty, but no one could do anything about it. As each day passed and the early fall approached, the knowledge of this was frightening to the igloo dWellers.
 Many seal pokes that formerly bulged with seal oil. and meat lay in caches quite empty. Flat and carefully piled, they were rude reminders that these people had not put up food against the long and cold days of March, the most dreaded month of all the winter. This months storms were the most dreaded, because a beautiful day of March could not be trusted. In a short length of time lovely and sunny morning could turn into a blizzard of bowling winds
