where the diseases had struck. DR..
Rodriguez never refused call. In
fact there is man living today
whom he cured of yellow fever
back in the 1905.
At one time in his coIorful his
tory, he owned three drugStoreS in
Key West, but, because of his gen.
crosby, during one Of the cigar
worker strikes, he gave away
more drugs than he sold. It is sta
ted that when he issued a pres
cription to a sick person of little
means, he also put note in Latin
telling the druggist to charge the
prescription to his account.
When questioned about his smok-
ing cigars, he stated that he has
been smoking for about sixty years
and has noticed nothing but en-
ioyment.
One woman in Key West says,
sDr Rodriguez Is a savior to Key
West just like we have a Savior
in Heaven"
He has also travelled throughout
the world. In 1884 he made his last
trip to Europe, during which time
he travelled to Russia. He has also
been to South America and, until
recently, went to Cuba each year.
When he started his practice, he
rode a bicycle to make his calls
because of the bad roads in Key
West in the 1905" Later he used
a horse and buggy. DR.. Rodriguez

Love Story OF
.Nefertiti Is
Tragic Tale
BY RELMAN NORM

NEW YORK R-Since the movie
makers seem to be in the middle Of
an Egyptian cycle" just now, it
IS surprising that they have over
looked one of the great love stories
OF that fascinating land.
It involves a queen. and 4
mysterious tragedy.
She was the lovely Nefertiti and
you doubtless have seen copies Of
ene famous head--the long, arch
ing neck and perfect profile, the
wide, almond shaped eyes, all
balanced by . massive royal head
dress.
In the wall engrayings that have
survived these 5000 years, she an
pears as a slim and beautifully
formed woman, almost as tall as
ner husband, the king. And this is
q description of her in the words
OF some forgotten writer
The heiress, great in favor.
lady OF grace, sweet Of love,
mistress of the south and north.
fair of face, gay with the two
plumeS, chief wife of the king
whom ne loves, lady of the two
lands, great of love, Nefertiti. Iiy-
Ing forever and ever !"
But in the city where this an
pears, there is a ruined building
that breathes of tragedy. Ii evi.
IDENTITY was her home and it indi-
Gates that after perhaps Ia years
OF perfect marriage, she left the
palace and her husband never to
return.
Why? Did she quarrel with the
king and leave voluntarily? Or was
she sent away, blasted by some
terrible disgrace? The secret has
never been unlocked, but here is
the story up to the point where
it disappears in voiceless dark.
Her husband, Akhnaton, was an
extraordinary man. If you read
that excellent book, "The Egyp-
tian," you learned a good deal
about him. He is known as the
great hereto"
He broke away from the power
full and established priesthood that
had gripped Egypt for thousands
of years before his day. He intro
duced the concept of I a single
deity-an astonishing forerunner
of Christianity eliminated the ele-
ments of fear and dread that
characterized the old religion.
In short, he abolished the thou
sand gods and demons Of the old
ways, and taught his people to wor-
ship in spirit of joy and light.
Again, the parallel between these
patterns and the Christian concept.
which was to appear many CEN
turtles later, is almost startling.
Meanwhile, his life with his
queen, Nefertiti, must have been
romantic idyll.
THE engravings show them in
charming poses.....the king with
his arm around her.. supporting
her in a chariot. holding her hand
as he dispenses gifts. the king
and queen playing with their
daughters.
Then something happened. She
left him and went to live in a
house on the north side Of the royal
capital that he had built.
Nobody knows why.
But there is theory that in his
later years, Akhnaton recoiled
from the fearful step he had taken.
the rejection of the ancient gods.
Perhaps the priests slowly wore
him down.
There is a belief that Nefertiti,
for political reasons, was an even
more fierce enemy Of the old gods
than he was. And perhaps this was
the basis for a terrible quarrel
that caused her to leave him.
Her name was erased from
many Of the statues and much Of
the story has been lost.
Which leaves room for the see
mario writer's to graft happy end

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

Our wood chipping demonstra- ton didn't come off as scheduled. Our Matanuska breeze changed our minds. MT. Blue and I did pretty well to pick a date two weeks in advance for the wind to blow. The demonstration has been re-scheduled for Monday, February l, at ZOO pm. near the Grange Hall. w epvaheSHR Grange Hall. We have put in an order for warm, mild weather for that date.
 The Alaska Soil Conservation District Board held its semi-an- nual meeting Monday and Tues day of this week. It was brought out that the land capability sur veys> that are being made throu- ghout the Territory by the Soil Conservation Service and Alaska Soil Conservation District are be- ing used by almost all agencies for their planning information. Their major purpose, however, as always, is for information on con servation farming to present and prospective farmers. First prior ity on future surveys was placed on the completion of the soil map ping of the Wasilla sub-district. This includes all the potential ag- ricultural land between the Sew ard Meridian and the Susitna Riv- CT. Problems on crop marketing were discussed. James Wilson, Territorial Commissioner of Agri- culture, was asked what help could be given him on potato marketing problems. His answer was that practically all military purchases at present were of To- cal potatoes. The most help the board could give was to support salesmanship to the civilian popu- lation. Alaska potato sales are do- ing pretty well in local stores now, but outside spuds are still being purchased by customers. The consensus of the board was that every dollar spent by an AL askan for an Alaska produced farm product is dollar spent for a darn good bargain and besides that, that dollar stays here. Pm an AlaSkan-are you?

HenseI Demands
Mccarthy Apologize

Senator Mundt - Do you
have a point of order?
Mr.. Hensel-I think that re-
mark was uncalled for. and
Senator Mccarthy ought to
be asked to apologize for that.
(Applause) I am serious. sir.
Senator Mundt-May the
chair remind the audience for
the final time that you are
here as the guests of the COM
mittee. There are to be no
manifestations of approval or
disapproval. I ask that that
rule be definitely enforced. You
have raised a point of order?
Mr.. Hensel-I am quite seri-
Gus about the request for an
apology, Mr.. Chairman. I do
not think that remark of Sen
ator Mccarthy about my dig
nifty was called for. think I
have plenty of dignity and de-
serve all that I have.
Senator Mundt-Your state
ment will be incorporated in
the record, but the chair has
no power to enforce an apol-
ogy on the part Of any of the
participants in this dispute.
Mr.. Hensel-You could re-
quest one, sir.
Evening star., 1954-04-29
Senator McC Carthy-Not on
INV time. I assume.

Senator McCarthy-Not on
my time, I assume.
Mr.. Welch-Mr. Chairman.
Senator Mundt-Mr. WEIGH,
do you have point of order?
MIR. Welch-I am anxious
that we could finish with this
witness tonight. You know
1t is repulsiye to me to run
overtime. but tonight ! am
willing and glad to. I hate
to take these precious mo-
ments discussing seating ar
rangements. That seems to
me child's play.
Senator Mundt-Is this a
point Of order? +,
Mr.. Welch--May we go on
with the hearing, sir?
Senator Mundt-Very well,
sir. Senator Mccarthy. you
will proceed with the ques-
tioning.
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
Stevens, who ordered the two
colonels and the general to
sit here beside Hensel? Who
has?
Secretary Stevens-My ar
rangement, Senator McCar-
thy. is that members of my
staff necessary to appear here
for the Army with me will
come here; and as far as
where they sit, I don't care
where they sit as long as they
are available to me.
Senator Mundt-The chair
rules that it is perfectly ap-
propriate for counsel for the
Army side of this controversy
to be seated at the end of
the table. and they alternate
every day, I believe, with the
members Of the Mccarthy
group.

Senator McCarthy-Did you
call Gen. Back to your Office,
on or about November "a,
1858, in regard to Gen. Law
ton. the commanding officer
at the radar installations at
Fort Monmouth?
Secretary Stevens-I did.
Senator Mccarthy - You
did, and at that time were
you considerably disturbed
Evening star., 1954-04-29

about o report that Gen.
Lawton had complimented the
committee?
Secretary Stevens - No, I
wasn't disturbed about that.
Senator McCarthy-At that
time were you considering re-
lieving Gen. Lawton of his
command?
Secretary Steyens-The mat
ter was receiving at that time
some consideration. -.
Senator Carthy-Mr. Sec
retary, did you indicate to
Gen. Back that you were very
disturbed because Gen. Lawton
in speech had paid tribute
to the manner in which our
investigation at Fort Mon
mouth was conducted?
Secretary Stevens: / talked
to Gen. Back about Gen. Law
ton and was a little worried
about his Judgment in respect
to certain matters.
Senator McCarthy-You
talked to me also about Gen.
Lawton. did you not?
Doesn't Remember
Discussing Lowton
Secretary Stevens-I don't
happen to remember it, SEN
ator.
Senator McCarthy-Do you
recall that you talked to me
and you said you were dis
turbed about his judgment. I
asked you what disturbed you,
and you said because he had
made a speech in which he
pointed out at what particular
universities most of the sus-
pended people got their educa-
tionS. Do you recall that?
Secretary Stevens-In gen.
eral. yes. sir. That is, I recall
that information. I don't re-
call that conversation with
you, Senator.
Senator McCarthy-That Is
roughly what you were dis
turbed about?
Secretary Stevens-I was
disturbed about some of the
things that were reported to
me as in that speech. Incl
dentally, I know that it is

ing me if I need to call upon
them.
Senator McCarthy-Ques-
tion: Are they here also for
the purpose Of helping Mr..
Hensel?
Secretary Stevens-No. Mr..
Hensel has already testified
that he has his own counsel.
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
Chairman, I want to make a
point which may seem rela-
lively unimportant, but we
have been shifting seating
arrangements around here so
often. The understanding is
that Mr.. HenSel as a party in
dispute may sit here with his
counsel at the table. If these
young men are not here-I beg
your pardon-if the officers
are not here to aid Mr.. Hensel
and they are here to aid Mr..
Stevens, I think they should
move back of Mr.. Stevens. I
don't like to have men with
combat recordS-and I can
see they have outstanding
combat records, apparently,
from the ribbons they wear-I
don't like to have them lending
dignity to Mr.. Hensel by sitting
at his left. 49,.
Mr.. Hensel-Mr. Chairman.
Senator Mccarthy - His
lawyers can sit here with him.

important, but as Secretary
OF the Army. Senator, I dis
like intensely to discuss the
individual personal situation
Of one of our active command
ing generals. If it is essential
to getting all the facts on the
table. ! am. of course, pre-
pared to do it. But I hope that
you will bear it in mind. He
is a fine professional man and
he is still in command at Fort
Monmouth.
Senator McCarthy-May I
say. Mr.. Stevens, that I have
the highest respect for Gen.
Lawton. I think he is one of
the most outstanding generals
with whom I have ever come
in contact.
The reason you are being
questioned on this point is
because of the information
which came to us through
various sources, including your
man John Adams, to the effect
that you were going to re-
move him from his command
after he had co-operated with
the committee. I am now in
terrogating you as to whether
or not it is true that that
is the reason why you we're
going to remove him or If you
had some other reason?
Secretary Stevens-No. that
was not the reason. Senator.
Senator Mccarthy - That
was not the reason?
Secretary Stevens-No.
Senator McCarthy-Did you
tell Gen. Back when you called
him to your Office on Novem-
ber "a of last year that one
of the reasons why you were
very much disturbed believe
the word is "exorcised"-
about Lawton is that he had
paid tribute to Senator Nc
Carthy and his Fort Mon
mouth investigation?
Secretary Stevens: The thing
I really remember talking to
Gen. Back about is the men,
ton of these colleges and uni
versities. It seemed to me
that that was outside the
scope of his activity.

tunity to explain his conduct
and to disclailn any RESPONSE
bility for or concurrence in
the conduct of his associates
if he so desires. I think that
he should be given that oppor-
tunity in respect to each OF
the occasions on which he is
alleged to have been a partici-
pant.
Senator McCarthy-Mr. Ste
vens, this morning I asked you
to have your counsel prepare
a list of the military men who
are here in the room, and upon
whose orders they are here.
Has that been prepared?
Secretary Stevens-Yes. sir.
Senator McCarthy-May I
make it very clear that this is
no reflection at all upon the
military men who are here,
some of them I don't know
and some of them I do know,
and I know they have out
standing combat records. and
I think are outstanding in
dividuals. But the reason I
asked you for this list is be-
cause I am curious to know
why we have so many COM
petent generals sitting here
warming their heels listening
to this testimony of how a
private got promoted as have
said so often before, success
sively and repeatedly until he
is finally up to be a private.
Do you feel that all of the
officers who are here are nee
essary to this hearing?
Secretary Stevens: I do,
Senator.
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
Hensel has been accused Of

sentative Of the military. but

emily very competent Army

elbow, OR do you think-will
