Show 'This Lights You Can Never Go Back, Columnist Discovers PROVOTUTAH COUNTY, UTAH, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1957 Labor Unions In Beck's Shadow the protection of the Constitution in Meany and Vice President Walter Reuth-e- r, indicate that Beck is now beyond the pale of decency in the labor movement's upper echelons. It is clear they believe he has done severe damage to the whole cause of organized laborTA The power to oust Beck and such others as Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Brewster from office rests with the Teamsters' rank and file. Thus far there have been considerable mutterings of revolt, but also here and there some surprising complacency in the light of the disclosures. Perhaps enough has already been toldi however, to put the standing of the Teamsters Union itself in serious jeopardy in the eyes of both Jabor and the public if it does not act to clean its own house. Senator McClellan of Arkansas, chairman of the special committee, says Beck has not properly accounted for at least $320,000. It is fair that he should give his version of his affairs if he ever will talk. But obviously a uryon that does not seek and get a satisfactory accounting is bound to be suspect itself. And the same goes if the answers are unsatisfactory and it fails to demand his ouster. Certain huge unions, the Teamsters included, are so placed that they can exercise a stranglehold on vital parts of the nation's economy. Often they are undemo-craticalcontrolled by entrenched czars, and occasionally these are allied with criminal elements. Large union treasuries may be diverted to corrupt purposes. Neither labor's honest leadership nor its rank and file nor the nation's citizenry can tolerate such misuse of money and power. Beck stands in the limelight today. But the task at hand is bigger than "getting Beck." It is the freeing- of both labor and industry from the evidently broad grip of racketeers, despoilers and underworld re- fusing to give a Senate committee vital information, he may have acted within his But atfthe same time he may have rig-hts- By FRANKS ROBERTSON .

With or without his testimony, the special Senate committee studying rackets in labor and industry says it has ample evidence with which to piece out the shocking story of Beck's misuse of his union's funds. The Internal Revenue Service is examining his financial records to determine if there are any irregularities in his income tax returns.

Argentina's finance minister tells his people that at the present rate of economic decline their country will be broke by year's end. President Aramburu, blaming Peron's costly misrule, says only austerity and hard work can stave off dis- ject poverty and depravity. As a former member of the Great Unr washed, I go there as straight as a homing pigeon.

Cubby had been quite ill. He'd lost weight. She was so grateful to him for ridding himself of measles that she was only too glad to reread him The Wizard of Oz." Indeed the first day he ate all his lamb chop, she was so grateful that she bought "The Tin Woodman of Oz" and began to read him that. But enough was enough. One night after reading him threie chapters from "The Tin Woodman," she had to say, "No that's all. I can't read any more now. I have to go downstairs and get my dishes done." With bitter accusation, Cubby corrected her. "You don't have to go," he said. "You Just WANT to go!" Fight Against Old Age on their faces into pitiful masks.

But let her be so afraid of being old that she tries to look half her age, and all she manages to do is to look pathetic. SF GLANCES 3" By GALBRAITH I 1 Cope. 1954 by Bernard Edward Fergwsson.

To him Allan beckoned, and asked him to bring along the Mufattish and a half a dozen constables to inspect the corpses and wounded in the garden, leaving Mollie behind. There were five dead men, one obivously dying, and nine wounded in varying degrees of severity, who had no means of climbing back over the wall. There was even one unwounded man, who, finding himself cut off, had very sensibly feigned dead at the foot of the wall; he went on feigning dead until Hameida prodded him thoughtfully In the buttock with the muzzle end of his rifle, when he came to life and was hauled off to the lock-uThe man on p.

Here are four different answers: PEOPLE. "My husband didn't leave me much money when he died four years ago," says Mrs. Donald Bridges, 63, "but he left me something far more valuable. He left me some people. "He left me three children, eight grandchildren, and a townful of friends. If he had left me rich and lonely, I might have faltered when it came to spending these later years as a widow." HEALTH "As long as I have my good health, I will never complain," vows a man of 67. "I have never been sick In my life, and as long as I am strong and healthy I feel I have some security," he explains. "I can walk, garden, work around the house and yard, and hire out my services to mow lawns and trim hedges in the sum- mer." A REASON FOR BEING. "I'm an inventor," says Mr. Thomas Gavin. "I have been experimenting since I quit working at a daily job, when I was 60. I am a tool and die maker by trade. Now I have a lot of equipment set up in my basement, and I am studying chemistry and reading chemical periodicals to add to my range of ' possibilities. "I usually have several experiments going on at once. I like projects with a practical' application. Machines, tools, chemicals, and ideas get me out of bed early every morning, and reading about what other men have done keeps me up late every night." (Few of us can even attempt to "invent," but everyone needs a reason. ) -- FINANCIAL SECURITY: "I don't want to sound bitter, but there is no substitute for money. Money is always in style. I am grateful eveay day that I have enough money not to be beholden to anybody. I like the things money can buy; I like the protection it gives against emergencies, and I like the luxury it gives life after 65." L. H. P.

If or when medical education is reformed to turn out plain family doctors, some such preceptorial training should be an indispensable part of it. Lat July Dr. Esther Tuttlt of New York told the British Medical Congress that "osteoaruV ritis is . . part of a general degeneration of body tissue." It is quite common after the age of forty, she said, and "is present in some degree in practically every individual past the age of 60." In the 4,000. cases she has studied she found no difference in the incidence of osteoarthritis in persons who had worked hard for many years and those who had done little or no hard work. That disposes of the theory that osteoarthritis is due to excessive wear and tear upon weight-bearin- g joints. In a minuscle work on Chrenie Joint Disability published September, the conductor of this column states that most chronic Joint disability is physical degeneration of joint tissues and there (arthr-itis-) is no inflammation or strain of except from injury the affected joint or joints, and the cause of th'e trouble is nutritional deficiency through the years from childhood up to the present time, and it is likely to go from bad to worse if you don't correct your faulty nutrition and maintain good nutrition from now on.
