Rep. Earl Wilson, R-Ind., was a bit
puzzled and upset recently when he
discovered that the federal govern-
ment is spending $34,200 on a pro-
ject studying “drops from submerged
nozzles.” He had the idea the tax-
payer was being drenched.
“The sad part of government,” said
Commerce Secretary Luther H.
Hodges a few weeks ago, “is that you
really don’t know what is going on
most of the time.” That’s the under-
statement of the year.
Rep. Wilson’s uncovering of the
“nozzle” project is as nothing com-
pared with a series of absurd and ex-
pensive studies being financed by
the federal government which Rep.
Homer E. Abele, R-Ohio, has just
unearthed. Among them were these:
— A study of the “behavior and

In 1943 Field Marshal Erwin Rom-
mel buried six steel cases filled with
gold, platinum and precious stones
200 feet down on the bottom of the
Golo River in Corsica. Supposedly
this was war booty taken by his Af-
rika Korps in Egypt, Libya and Tun-
isia. A search for this sunken treasure
is now under way by Peter Fleigh, a
Czech who served with Rommel and
worked for him as a deep-sea diver.
Fleigh declares he took the steel
chests to the river bottom on the or-
ders of four officers who later were
court-martialed and shot for failing
to cache the treasure on land and
hiding it in water instead. Fleigh is
financed by a group of English back-
ers. But the West German govern-
ment now declares: “We believe that
if there is a treasure, it consists of
gold supplied by the government of
the Third Reich for military opera-
tional purposes, and therefore it
would belong to the Bonn govern-
ment.” The French government,
which on the basis of captured docu-
ments places much credence in the
existence of the treasure, took Fleigh
into custody in Stuttgart in 1948 and
compelled him to search for it. At the
time Fleigh claimed loss of memory.
Today, 15 years later, his memory
has conveniently returned. Says the
French government: “We will confis-
cate immediately any treasure he
finds.”

Count up the hours you spend each week at the sink . ..
then think of all the better ways that time could be spent.
With an automatic electric dishwasher you’re free forever
from this tiresome sink slavery. What’s more, an automatic
electric dishwasher gets dishes cleaner than handwashing
hygienically clean, in water too hot for hands.
Best of all, washing dishes automatically costs
only pennies a day. See your
appliance dealer soon. Save
time, save work, with an auto-
matic electric dishwasher.

dealing with the “modification of
alcohol preference in rats.”
The crowning blow was a $10,400
project to be undertaken, significant-
ly, by Harvard University. This one
deals with the “monographs of the
land mollusca of Cuba.” This trea-
tise on shellfish, comments the Senate
Republican Policy Committee, “will
represent the first approach by the
Kennedy administration to the beach-
es of Cuba since the ill-fated Bay of
Pigs adventure.”
Can’t get those Harvard eggheads
interested in the Soviet “fishing fleet”
(genus Russia submarina). But they
seem to be happy to take our money
to look into the “monographs” of
the genus Cuba mollusca.
A new treatment for muscular
dystrophy which reportedly arrests
the disease has been announced by
Dr. Robert N. Dowben, assistant pro-
fessor of medicine at Northwestern
University. Dr. Dowben’s treatment,
tried on 37 patients with encouraging
results, consists of physical therapy
and a simultaneous administration of
digitalis preparation. The treatment
does not cure the disease, but it does
stop the muscle wasting for as long
as a year and a half. Most child vic-
tims of musculaar dystrophy died be-
fore age 20, and this treatment may
eventually mean a longer, more ac-
tive life for the nation’s 200,000 MD
victims.

— Why a study of the social be-

expensive as a study of the social

But for the termite project the price
tag is only $16,800, while the ant pro-
ject will cost $36,000.
— Apparently there is a reason for
this divergence in costs, however. For
a research project on the social be-
havior of the “barren-ground cari-
bou” is costing only $2,100. That’s
what we call a bargain — providing

An Amarillo doctor has been sen-
tenced to serve six months in jail. On
July 31, Federal Judge Joe Dooley at
Amarillo sentenced Dr. Harvey K.
Jackson to 18 months in jail, with
six months to serve and one year sus-
pended sentence. He placed Dr. Jack-
son on probation for two years and
fined him $500.00.
On August 24, 1962, Dr. Jackson
took his gun and placed three In-
ternal Revenue Officers under “citi-
zen’s arrest” when they called at his
office to collect two delinquent tax
plowing in his field south of Pilot accounts.
Dr. Jackson was indicted by a
Federal Grand Jury in Lubbock,
Texas on May 13, 1963, and was
found guilty after a two-day trial, on
June 28, 1963.
The Doctor has appealed his sen-
tence and has been released under
$2,000 bond.
