BY way of demonstrating his
skill, he specialized in putting
horses and cattle to sleep for
brief periods of time by speak
ing "gibberish" and waving his
hand. While he awed the neigh
bors, most of the miners avoid
ed his "evil eye" and some
reached the point where they
avoided the mine when Fenner
was around. Mestres was a
handsome young spaniard re-
membered, chiefly, because he
was always loaded with
money"
The trio, however, does not
seem to have been loaded with
money for a gold-mining ven

Mr.. T. G. B.. CheUerly
I am 66 years old and
have been cooking chestnutS
since l was about 10 years
old; l really enjoy them. I
make 1t a point to buy some
eacf year. You wanted to
know how to cook them; I
have two methods of doing
this, and can see no differ
ence in the results.
Here's the first method:
Place cheStnuts in a heavy
flying pan with the cover on,
over a low heat, either gas
or electric. Do not use more
cheStnuts than will cover the
bottom of the pan. 1t will
take about Is minutes for
them to roast. Every once in
a while they should be shaken
a bit, just as you do when
popping corn.
The shells will split, and
and when one or two explode,

you will know they are fin
iShed. That's the reason for
covering the pan; they will
pop with bang.
The second method is by
boiling. Have a stew pan of
boiling water vigorously boil
ing and drop in the chest
nuts. Let boil for at least 18
minutes. Any less will not re-
move the inner hull. Twenty
minutes will make it easy to
remove. Then with a sharp
knife, cut around the narrow
edge to remove.
After the chestnuts have
been cooked by either method
they will not keep for more
than a day or two as they
become too hard to eat.
Hope this helps you.

Mr.. Mcnamara will handle
the program personally. He is
reported to be convinced that
his automotive production ex-
perience will enable him to save
billions of dollars for the tax
payers by efficient manage
ment of military aviation.
Bitter Criticism
This action was taken as a
result of some recent bitter
criticism from Congress a nd
the General Accounting Office.
In several reports, GAO stated
that some defense agencies we're
buying aviation engines. COM
ponents and parts when there
were surpluses in other areas.
Representative Ford. Repub-
lican of Michigan, a key mem
ber Of Congress on defense fis-
cal affairs, recently complained
that some small parts of jet
engines cost more wholesale
than the retail price of an
automobile engine"
Several surveys have bee n
made that recommended par
tial solution of the problem.
One urged all aeronautical
spare parts, including instru-
ments, be placed under the new
Defense Supply Agency. Anoth-
er suggestion was to do the
same with "aerospace propul-
sion units"
The program is now going
full speed ahead under Mr.. Nc
Namara. In the next 1S months
it is expected some of its ac-
tivities will be transferred to
DSA.
Mr.. Mcnamara found over
$12 billion in aviation parts
stored in warehouses and bases
throughout the world. The $27.3

aircraft contain SO types. one
half of which are combat types.

The dip broke a string of

whole tale. Beneath the sur
face are these two fundanen-
tai facts:
First, the mergers-consolida-
tions-suspensions have be e n
concentrated in the biggest
cities. Here is where newspapers
are in cost squeeze due to ris-
ing internal expenses of opera
ton and fierce competition
with each other and with rival
communications media.
In every year since World
War II, except 1855 and 1859
costs of daily newspapers or
average have risen more t. h a n
revenues, and in 1861, an Edi-
tor & Publisher study discloses,
the ratio was: expenses up 1.46
per cent on average, total in
comes up only 0.4 per cent.
But this is a composite aver
age. A breakdown discloses the
difference between the position
of the smaller and the big
city papers. Last year, for ex-
ample, among newspapers with
circulations of $4,000 to $4,000,
revenues rose 1.44 per ce Mt
while costs rose 1.38 per cent
Among newspapers with circu-
lations of over 100000, reve-
nueS rose 0.02 per cent while
costs rose 0.32 per cent.
Second, while the profit
pinch has compelled the merg-
ers, consultations. suspensions
in big cities, new newspapers
have been. springing UP in the
suburban areas and many SUBJ
urban newspapers which were
weeklies have become dailies.
AS one illustration, within a
50-mile radius of the Los An
geles-Long Beach metropolitan
area, the number of newspapers
has climbed from 26 in 194C
to 20 in 1862. But the number
Of newspapers in the cities OF
Los Angeles, Long Beach and
Hollywood has Shrunk from
eight in 1910 to five now,
Evening star., 1962-10-09
Comparison Cited

The whole point can be sum-
married. in a single compari-
son: between 1850 and 1859 the
weekday circulation Of all met
ropolitan dailies rose 2.6 per
cent, while the weekday circula-
ton of all suburban dailies
(within so niles jumped 21.7
per cent.
There is nothing mysterious
about this. Newspaper circula-
ton has been following t h e
population and so has a lot of
newspaper advertising.
"Since average newspapers
feed on these two things alone
- getting TOTS per cent of
their revenues from advertis-
ing, $3.50 per cent from read
ers = the plight of many Of
t h e large newspapers is only
too obvious" says Stanford
Smith, general manager of the
American Newspaper Publish
ers Association. Newspapers
always will reflect the laws of
economies and be published
only in places where it is eco
nomically feasible for them to
do so and remain Independent. 3"
The House subcommittee
may probe, protest, pontificate.
It will come to these two fun
damentals, in the end - and
they suggest the merger-consol-
idation-suspension trend still
has not run its course.

In mid-January next year q
subcommittee of the House Ju-
dietary Committee, headed by
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York, is scheduled
to hold hearings on newspaper
mergers and consultations.
The subcommittee has almost
finished a preliminary inquiry
with the objective, says Mr.. Gel
Ter of finding out whether the
mergers are creating monopo-
lies which threaten free press
guarantees.
The House Judiciary Com
mittee's attitude is understand
able considering the newspaper

ranging from Chicago and De-
troit to Honolulu and San
Francisco, from Pittsburgh and
Milwaukee to st. Peters

But the widespread impress
sion that the newspaper busi-

isn't.
Statistics Revealing
In 1861, there were 1,T61
daily newspapers in the United
States with a circulation every
day of 59,261, ,464. BY contrast,
in 1945 there we're 1,749 daily

is 1892 million for new mill
tary aircraft while $1,714 mil

stated this is an area in which
greater savings can be made.
OF the over $12 billion in
aeronautical parts the Air

accounts for most of the rest,
