Ghosts Of an Old House Are Stubborn

In most cases they leave rather quickly these fore

No matter how often the neghbors refer them or how

Yet in old house this is not always the case.

Many of their letters they left behind them too IN

script Magic lantern slides taken in Egypt the Philippines,

And though they have all been gone for many years

What tDODOCtOrSDO
When They Suffer
HEADACHEPAIN?

New York. Most doctors live
under constant nervous tension,
pressure and mental strain. It's
not surprising they, too, often
sufferfrom miserable headaches.
But now - it can be revealed
what doctors, themselves, take
to relieve headache pain.
A survey shows many doctors
take the fast, pain-relieving in
gradients in Anacin0. In fact,
three out of four doctors recon-
mend this same type of relief
to their patients.
Anacin Tablets are stronger
yet safer. They give fast, long
lasting and more complete
relief from tense, nervous head
aches than aspirin or aspirin
with buffering. You see, mere
aspirin or buffered aspirin con-
tains only one pain reliever. But
Anacin is different. Anacin is
like a doctors prescription. That

is, a combination of medically
proven ingredients recognized
for their effectiveness by the
highest medical authorities.
Anacin gives extra medication
that not only relieves pain fast,
but also its nervous tension,
pressure and depression.
After taking Anacin - pain
goes in minutes! The sufferer
feels great again.
Despite their strength and
effectiveness -Anacin Tablets
contain no narcotics, do not
form a habit or leave one de-
pressed. Anacin may be taken
as directed as often as needed
without upsetting or irritating
the stomach.
See if the extra medication in
Anacin doesn't work better for
you. Change to Anacin for fast,
long-lasting, more complete
pain-relief.

fic by August /, officials said
today.

for the Inner Loop between

ington Channel Bridge, up the
Southwest freeway and onto
the Twelfth street expressway,
which will be one-way north

to taxpayers. reduce farm in
come and result in no farm
legislation this year.
Mr.. Freeman broke off a
speaking tour yesterday to re-
turn here to battle for the bill,
which emerged from a Senate
House conference committee
earlier this week. It is slated
to come before the House
tomorrow.
Republican members Of the
committee refused to sign the
report and House Republicans
were called to a conference to-
day to map plans for opposing
the measure on the floor.
His letter was a reply to
a plea yesterday by Charles B.
Shuman, president of the Farm
Bureau. Mr.. Shuman said the
bill would not solve the sur
plus feed grain and wheat
problems and would be far
worse than no legislation"
Mr.. Freeman told newsmen
that the fate Of the farm bill
rests with the House. He said
Evening star., 1962-09-19

the Senate probably will adopt
the compromise measure If the
House approves 1t.
The measure as 1t came out
of the conference committee
proposes an extension of the
present voluntary acreage re-
duction for corn and other
feed grains through the 1869
crop year. It provides that
those who voluntarily cut
acreage will receive land re-
tirement payments and price
supports. Those who do not
enroll get neither.
Mr.. Freeman called this pro-
gram "an outstanding success
and said Mr.. Shuman had op-
posed it when it was proposed
early in 1861, and also fought
its extension to 1862.
Unless the bill is passed, Mr..
Freeman said. I'VE will be
forced to revert to the Benson
program which provides price
supports on unlimited produc-
ton and results in lower farm
Evening star., 1962-09-19

income, increased taxpayer
costs, and larger surpluses."
The compromise bill also con-
tains a voluntary acreage re-
duction plan for wheat growers
in 1868. Wheat farmers already
have approved. in a referendum
last month, a 1868 program
based on IS million acres with
supports pegged at $1.S2 a
bushel. Under the bill they
would get an additional 10 cents
a bushel if they reduce their
acreages from 20 to 50 per cent.
The major dispute is over
the bills proposals for 1864
wheat and feed grain crops.
Essentially. it would sharply
reduce acreages in return for
high price supports. The al
tentative would be unlimited
production-with considerably
lower supports.

legations of unco-operativeness,
said Mr.. Brown knew of the
pictures three years ago but
failed to produce them and had
been reluctant to disclose who

Mr.. Halaby said the pictures
