Nymph Fishing
Zoologically speaking, a nymph
la an izisect in its immature form,
▲t one stage of its existence, the
nymph breaks away from the
stream bed and. swims up to the
surface of the water to moult into
an adult fly. Fish, both large and
small, devour these nymphs vora
ciously. The fisherman who can
successfully imitate the nymph’s
journey from bottom to surface
will enjoy many well-filled creels.
To accomplish this, the fisherman
casts his nymph as he would a wet-
fly, but allows it to sink all the
way to the bottom. From there he
fishes it upward in a slow and
•rratic manner until it breaks the
surface of the water to complete
the cast.
Soaking the nymph in water, or
rubbing it in mud, increases its
sinkability when cast. Sometimes
a split shot or two oh the leader.
Is needed to get the nymph all the
way to the bottom. Never oil the
nymph or grease the leader or
line. Cast upstream and fish as.
short a line as practicable. During
the cast, you can let the fly drift
tlose to and sometimes beyond
you bdfdfe It finally works *up to’
the surface- Trout have been .Ipiown
to strike at the nymph almost be
tween the fisherman’s legs, even
In fast water.
Nymph fishing produces strikes
in every sort of water where trout
are feeding. The tip-off on trout
which are feeding on nymphs is
their ’’tailing.” This is the exposure
of the tail-fin of the trout above
the surface as he noses downward
to meet tfce up-coming insect. When
trout are ’’tailing” in this manner
they will almost never strike a dry
fly, or any other fly except those
which resemble nymphs, and even
those fail to produce strikes unless
fished from bottom to surface in
the natural path of the living in
sect. .
To impart natural action to a
nymph, the angler brings it toward
the surface with short, erratic mo
tions, Utilizing the pulsing action of
the feathers or hackles to enhance
the simulation of life.
The Jstrike which comes to a
nymph is sometimes so fast and
delicate the angler’s reaction may
be too late to hook the fish. Often
the only indication of a strike is a
momentary halt or check in the
progress of the line at the point
where it enters the water. The
angler should be alert to set his
hook instantly when this halt oc
curs. Some fishermen find that a
bit of white thread tied to. the butt
and of the leader aids in keeping
track of the nymph in fast, turbu
lent water. Reipoinber at all times,
a nymph is an active, energetic
creature whose one thought is to
reach the surface to moult. Simu
late that action and strikes will be
more plentiful.

Watch Your Step!
When streams are clear and
right for fly fishing, there are three
things a fisherman should never
forget. First, he should always re
member to stay out of sight of the
trout. Second, he should remember
that vibrations made by footsteps
along the bank of a stream have a
frightening effect on - trout. And
third, a fisherman should remem
ber that waves, created -by wading

Ten Key Men Direct Activities
Of U. S. Department of State
This is the last of six articles on
the state department and its per
sonnel by Walter A. Shead, Western
Newspaoer Union’s Washington corre
spondent.

Washington, D. C.—If you know
the top men in any organization
whether it be a lodge, fraternal
organization, business organization,
bank or a government agency, you
can judge fairly well the type and
kind of personnel that go to make
up that organization. Particularly
is this true of top men in govern
ment who necessarily live in a
glass house of publicity.
Any person who has met and
talked to Secretary of. State Dean
Acheson is impressed by his ear
nestness, his sincerity, his intelli
gence and his integrity. The son of
an Episcopalian minister, he was
bom in Middletown, Connecticut,
April 11, 1893. He is a graduate of
Groton and Harvard with honorary
degrees from Yale and Wesleyan.
He is a member of the law firm
of Covington, Burling, Rublee, Ache-
son and Shorb in Washington and
a member of many impo^ant clubs.
He has a farm near Sandy Spring,
Maryland, where he lives and which
is his hobby. If you have >a -pic
ture in your mind of a suave,
highly polished diplomat, ’never ill
at ease, never at a loss for a word,
who does not know the words “quit”
or “can’t”, then you have a pic
ture of Dean Acheson.
His next in command is Under
Secretary James E. Webb, a native
of Granville county. North Caro
lina. He is a former marine corps
major, tall, athletic and a fighter.
He is former director of the fed
eral budget and was with the
Sperry corporation before coming
into government service, and is a
recognized master at organization.
He is a law graduate of George
Washington University, a member
of many clubs and well known
business organizations.
Ambassador at Large Philip C.
.Jessup is a native New Yorker, a
graduate of Hamilton college, Yale
and Columbia universities. He
served as lecturer on international
law both at Columbia and Hamilton
and as assistant to Elihu Root at
the conference of jurists on the
permanent court of international
justice at Geneva in 1929. He has
served his country in scores of in
ternational meetings and confer
ences and was named ambassador
at large in March, 1949, for spe
cial assignments throughout the
world in negotiations with other
governments. He is of Irish-English
ancestry and his great-grandfather.
Judge William Jessup, was a dele
gate to the Republican convention
in 1860 and chairman of the com
mittee which drafted die platform
upon which Lincoln was elected

S0UC00K MASSACRE
t
By Richard H. Wilkinson
C HARLIE Poe lived by hi* wits.
Not because he had to but be
cause he liked to. 1 could name a
half dozen jobs he had been offered,
all legitimate, all of which he turned
down. He couldn’t bear the thought
of routine and being tied down.
I met him unexpectedly one day
'last summer in
Boston, ; :z: >
. “Hot -1 doing
.a n y thing,” he
said when I ques
tioned him.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Looking for something,” he con
fessed.
•”Jf you’Ve nothing lined up,” I
suggested, “how about taking a ride
up country with me? I’m making-a
two-day trip to Burlington.”
“Like to,” he said.
We started the next morning.
Charlie wasn’t the cheerful com
panion I anticipated. Obviously
there was something on his
mind.
Halfway across New Hampshire
we came to a place alongside the
road where a dozen or more cars
were parked. A sign proclaimed the
reason. “Visit the site of the famous
Soucook Indian massacre,” the sign
read. “Nothing like it anywherd.
Free lecture. Offers much by way
of historical value. A scene ybtr
won’t forget.^ Admission 25 cents.”
“Stop!” said Charlie. I stopped.
We got out and walked over to a
shelter beneath which a man was
selling tickets.
The man with the tickets saw us
and urged us to buy, eloquently
elaborating on his printed sign.
Charlie dug into his pocket and
produced a half dollar. Presently
about 20 people bad purchased tick
ets and the man got down off his
stool and led us through the gate.
We followed him along the path.
He talked as we progressed. By the
time we reached our objective we
were all steamed up with apprehen
sion.
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Frieda Catches Flu, but the Germ Turns on Charlie
By BILLY ROSE
For as long as I can remember, my Uncle Charlie has been
complaining of good health—not his own, mind you, but my Aunt
Frieda’s.
For 40 winters, to hear him tell it, he has been an easy mark for
cclds. catarrhs end rheumatic pains, while his wife has never developed
so much as a sniffle.
Last February, when I dropped to to see them at their Allen Street
flat, Charlie was to bed, runny-eyed and carmine-nosed.
“What gives!” I asked.
“What always gives?” said my
uncle. “Your aunt loses the flu,
I find it. Sh/i’s got a constitutional
MtWMi
like a horse.
Frieda was to the
kitchen warming up
a plaster. “Like a
pastrami sandwich
the treats me,” said
Charlie. “I’m all ov
er mustard. Every
reasonable woman
lays down to bed
once to a while. But
not her—she won’t Rose
give me the satisfaction. , , .”
• • »
MY FAVORITE relatives came
to this country around the ttofe
Teddy Roosevelt was elected, and
the voyage over, according to Char
lie, was the roughest to the history
of navigation. It took 23 days and
even the captain was seasick.
Frieda wax the only one cn board
who ate regularly, and she gained
an average of a pound a day. When
the helmsman took to his bunk—
still according to Charlie— it was
she who took the wheel. As for my
uncle, he spent the entire trip with
his head sticking out of a porthole
and, the weather being what it was,
it was a miracle he wasn’t drown
ed.
Because of this apparent im
munity to disease, Frieda has
always been one of the favor
ite daughters of the East Side,
especially when any of the neigh
bors are ill. For years now,
she's been carrying soup and
solace to their homes, tending
their kids and lecturing fami
ly doctors on their therapeu
tic shortcomings.
“Herself, she don’t get sick, but
to me she brings back the germs,”
is the way Charlie explains her.
• • •
A FEW ©AYR AGO, howevar. my
uncle telephoned and, without both
ering to suppress the triumph in his
voice, said, “Frieda is fiat like a
pancake. She’s got a flu, with conv
plications yet.”
“I’ll send my doctor down,” I
said, “and I’ll be around to the
morning.”
But when I walked up the three
flights to their apartment the fol
lowing day, the door was opened by
an obviously to-the-ptok Frieda.
“What are you doing out of bed?”
My aunt motioned me to, and to
the bedroom, propped up on pillows
as usual, was Charlie.
"What happened?”
n What should happen?” said
Frieda. ”Your uncle got over
heated running up and down ‘
the stairs like a chicken.”
”1 thought you bad the flu."
"Ob, that,” said Frieda. "I
fixed it with a guggle-mug-
gle.”
For the benefit of the uninitiate,
a ‘ ‘ guggle-muggle’ ’ is an old East
Side remedy composed of warm
milk, egg, honey, cinnamon and
whiskey.
“Wish your uncle happy returns,”
said Frieda. “It's his birthday.”
“Yea, it’s my birthday,” groaned
Charlie, “and for a present she
gave me her flu ” . ..
Halfway across New Hamp
shire we came te a place a sign
proclaimed the site of the fa*
mous Soucook Indian massacre.
We had entered a small clearing.
Beyond it was a ledge, overhanging
a shallow gorge through which a
trickle of water flowed. We stood on
the ledge while our guide told us
how, 250 years ago, a detachment
of militiamen had pursued a band
of 20 Indians through the forest
Hard put, the Indians came to this
ledge. Below them was the gorge,
at that time a good many times
deeper than now. Thus the red
skins had their choice of leaping
into the gorge or being shot
r * was a gruesome tale. We were
all silent and impressed as we
made our way back to the cars.
“That,” said Charlie, “is the best
gag I’ve ever seen.”
“Maybe,” I said, "but how can
that gpy prove any such thing
happened there?”
“How can the tourists prove It
didn’t?” Charlie asked. “And
what do they care. That chap
knew what they wanted and he
gave it to them. They were sat
isfied.” He became thoughtful.
Charlie didn’t mention the -Sou
cook massacre again during our
trip, but I suspected it \yas on his
mind. When he left me to Boston
two days later he shook hands
warmly. - w#
“Where are you off to now?” I
asked him.
“Oh, the western plan of mine is
still rankling.” He grinned. “See
you around.”
Late to September I had occasion
to go north again. Traveling the
same route that Charlie and I had
taken, I remembered the Soucook
Massacre. The shelter was still there
and there were cars parked outside.
But a different man was selling
tickets. The man was Charlie.
“How about this?” I asked.
He grinned. “You gave me the
idea,” he said. “Remember you
wanted to know how the guy could
prove the massacre happened here?
Well, I asked him, at the same time
flashing a tin badge I sometimes
carry around. He decided to move
on.”
“Is that sort of thing ethical to
your profession?” I asked.
“Sure. We’re all suckers. Some of
us are smarter. The guy was getting
fed up anyhow. So am L Some day
somebody is going to ask me to
prove that massacre story. If Fm
smart enough Fll be gone before he
gets here.”

“It must be nice to own a chain
of stores.”
“Yes; you can spend all your
time on the links.”
Robbery of the Government
I . PARNELL THOMAS, a Repub
lican representative from New
Jersey, occupying an important
place to the house, was convicted
by the courts for padding federal
payrolls and accepting refunds
from those receiving the pay for
work they did not perform. He
was fined $10,000 and given nine
months to a federal prison. One
would think that such an experi
ence, together with the sacrifice of
his political career, would serve
as a lesson to other members of
toe house of representatives, but
evidently not.
Others now are charged with al
most identical offenses. If the
charges cannot be proved, toe
radio commentator^ Fulton Lewis,
Jr., and the Mutusil Broadcasting
company can be subjected to a
hedvy libel suit, and, for the good
of the Democratic party, should be.
Lewis presents names, dates, and
amoupts in connections with em
ployment by representatives of
those receiving payroll checks as
employees of the folding room of
the house, without having rendered
any service.
Both Lewis and his sponsor, the
broadcasting company, are finan
cially able to pay heavy damages
if convicted bf circulating libelous
statements, but they will not be
caUed upon to face a libel suit.
Such statements are not so political
ly damaging, as Is proof of such
statements. It is better politics not
to deny than to defend, if the
charges are proveable.
Later, party leaders admitted the
facts were as Lewis had presented
them and ordered a cleanup of toe
whole smelly political system. It
will mean a few bureaucrats must
find other places. They undoubtedly
will be successfuL No one will be
fined. No one will go to prison for
an admitted robbery of toe gov*
ernment, and no political career
will be ruthlessly blasted. Someone
got away with something for a time
before detection, and now bygones
are to be bygones, and that is all
there is to toe wrong doing.
*
It was my privilege to meet
Marshall Jan Christian Smuts to
London on several occasions dur
ing the dosing weeks of World
War L On such meetings, I felt
( had talked with a mighty Intel-'
lect. I considered him an old man
then—a veritable sage. He was
on the side of England, not because
of any spedal love for that nation,
but because of his belief to the civ
ilization and methods of England
to those of Germany.
During the Boer war he had
fought valiantly against what he
pronounced English aggression, but
be had lived next door to German
East Africa, and had seen the re
sults of the blighting hand of Ger
man militarism under the direc
tion of the Kaiser,
At the time of those meetings,
Marshall Smuts appeared to me
as a world statesman of greater
ability than any one of the British
cabinet, including . Lloyd George.
Now I would place him in the class
of Herbert Hoover and Bernard
Baruch to toe ability to fathom
world problems. At the time I met
him, he had the viewpoint of Wood-
row Wilson. He was a believer to
the Wilsonian theory of super
world government and a supporter
of Wilson’s idea of a League of
Nations. He must have felt a per
sonal blow when the United States
senate rejected the League pact.
At his death, I found he was not
old when I knew him, but only my
age. He had a wise head on his
then young shoulders.
Jan Smuts, as I knew him, was
incapable of hating any people.
Could he have headed any one of
the strong nations, he would have
been a powerful influence to world
affairs and the establishment of
world peace. With him, rather than
Attlee, sitting at the conference
table with Marshal Stalin, there
would have been more than a
match for the always crafty Rus
sian, but he never would have been
an appeaser.
The world lost a great and val
uable statesman to the passing of
Jan Christian Smuts, and South
Africa a real leader. Knowing him,
even slightly, was one of the valued
privileges of my lifetime.

Republican party workers at the
local level are discouraged and
threatening to quit so far as the
national campaigns are concerned.
They insist they are not provided
with tools by the party leaders.
They want a platform and policies
to talk about.
*
Stealings are equally illegal,
whether they be from the govern
ment or from owned business and
whether made by employees of
such business institutions or by
representatives of the people in
congress. But when such rep
resentatives happen to be members
of the party to power, the attorney
general’s office is not anxious to
prosecute, even though the facts
are admitted. The party leaders
promise to stop that special meth
od of stealing. If they do, another
way Is found, r *'

Ratio of Elders
Doubles in Century
The ratio of elders to those at
the main working years of life has
doubled in the United States
during the past century, and has
increased by nearly two thirds
since 1900.
One hundred years ago there
were only about six persons at
age 65 or older for each 100 of the
population at 20 to 64. By 1900 the
ratio had climbed to eight, and
since then it has risen even more
rapidly and is now 13.
Although the segment of the pop
ulation at 65 or over has been in
creasing, the relative importance
of the dependent population as a
whole has declined, due to a rapid
drop in the ratio of children to the
population at the main productive ~
ages. The number of children un
der 18 per 100 persons at ages 20-
64 has been cut in half, from 107 in
1850 to about 54 in 1950.
In very recent years, however,
due to the war and postwar spurt
in the birth rate, this trend has
been reversed and the child popu
lation ‘ has increased at a more
rapid rate than people at ages 20-
64. This will continue for at least
a decade, even if allowance is
made for a steady decline in the
birth rate from its present level,
and at the same time the popula
tion at the older ages will continue
its long-term upward climb.
As a result, we are entering a
period when the country will have
to provide for the expanding social
and economic needs of both its
large child and aged populations,
each growing at a faster rate than
the population at the main work
ing ages.
