All that Mrs. Marie Natvig,
Harvey Matusow and Lowell
Watson seem TO have in common
is belief in the old adage that
turnabout is fair play. Govern
ment Communist investigating
circles-who looked on in con-
sternation while the trio changed
their tune from Il accuse" to
who, me?"-of course do not
agree.
Mrs. Natvig, the Scheherezade
of the Lamb hearings, and Mr.
Watson, an enormous farmer.
have both charged that they
were "coerced" into denouncing
publisher -broadcaster Edward o.
Lamb. who wanted a new radio
TV license. But Mr.. Matusow,
junior member of the three. says
his MISUNDERSTANDING scores
of others--was his own idea, both
coming and going.
Mrs. Natvig, who is a slim,
gray-haired 51-year woman
with darting brown eyes and
three ex-hushands, had vivid
tales to tell the Federal Commu-
nicationS Commission hearing
last autumn. They were replete
with details of Illicit love, world
revolution and tall strangers Of
fering bribes for changed tes-
timony.
When she came back after a
February nightmare awaken
ing" in Tallahassee. she said
with an almost girlish simper
that "only an idiot would have
put any credence in what said"
Part Grows Smaller.
Mr.. Matusow's self-esteem as
an expert also shrank during
his moral reawakening. From
leader of the Kremlin youth
movement" he has subsidized to
lust a Communist f1unkey on
the West Side"
Mr.; Watson's claims were
more modest to begin with, so
he had less to retract than the
other two. A 53-year-old' native
of West Virginia, whose educa-
ton stopped at the fifth grade,
Mr.. Watson had been a glass
worker and a landscape garden
er. He says he was a Communist
in Ohio from 1929 to 1941.
He apparently took consider
able pride in his work for the
Department of Justice as con-
sultant on communism, a job he
ventured may have ended with

sharply, yet people are drinking
more of it.
There is q school of thought
that holds that beer has become
too light. When the War Produc-
ton Board limited the amount
of grain to breweries in World
War II, the industry made more
beer with less barley and the
public seemed to like it. Light"
beers proved to be the most
popular, and they were sold as
mountaineering"
Chris Heurich, jr.. is risking a
big outlay on the idea that the
old-fashioned beer, beer that
tastes like beer, will be welcomed
in this generation.
Brewers do not reveal their
formulas, but Mr.. Heurich risked
saying that the forthcoming beer
is made. like all beers, of matted
barley. That is. the barley is
soaked in warm water at a malt
house and allowed to sprout Just
a bit. The lager beer has more
hops. the seasoning or flavoring
element. than most beers. and
some ground rice is added to the
fermenting barley in its prepara-
ton. The starch of the rice
turns to sugar in the process.
Frank Omlor, his brewmaster,
got out a bottle of the lager
beer, and a bottle of the brew
ery's "Oid Georgetown" beer.
There was quite a difference in
taste. The lager beer has more
flavor, is a slight shade darker
in color and would never be
called "watery."
Mr.. Omler is of a line of brew
masters. His father was brew
master at Shamokin, Pa, in the
coal region.
The company will continue to
produce the Old Georgetown beer
also so long as there is a market
for it.

Paul G. Hoffman, former presi-
dent of Ford Foundation, filed
suit yesterday attacking the Los
Angeles County taxpayers loyal
ty oath.
Mrs. Elinor Hoffman seeks to
enjoin the county assessor from

forms. The suit was filed by
A. L. Wirin, counsel for the

The suit contends the loyalty
oath violates State and Fed

/. 1t requires the oath of all per-
sons and is not limited to those
seeking tax exemptions; 2. It
violates the guarantees of re-
