indicates that during the baby's
early life he has been left too much
alone. No one has picked him up,
rocked him, cuddled him, loved him
and made him feel welcome in this
world. He grows up only with
things, not people, and you don't
talk to things.
Fortunately this condition is
quite rare. We see it in unwanted
rejected babies, once in a while,
in babies who have spent their in
fancy in an institution in which
constantly changing shifts of
nurses provided the necessary
physical care without warmth or
love,

Third: To talk a child must have
properly functioning voice ap-
paratus. Very rarely does the
trouble lie here. Once in a while
a severe tongue tie, or a cleft pal
ate will make certain sounds diff
cult for a child to form. But if the
child is otherwise normal he will
talk even if you cannot understand
all his words.
Fourth: To talk a child must
hear. A child who is deaf has
p5.o:ng to copy. He will make
sounds bat he will not experiment
with throat, tongue and lips to
change the quality of his sounds.
It is surprising how difficult it is
sometimes to know whether or not
baby is deaf. You make a loud
noise near him and he may re-
spond to the vibrations when you
thought it was the sound he heard.
But If a child plays with his voice,
if you can hear him make various
kinds of sounds, and you can see
him listening to them. you can be
sure he hears. Long before a child
speaks a language you can under
stand, he talks a jargon Of many
sounds. If this jargon is infected,
if you can hear the commas and the
paragraph marks you can be sure
the child hears and is copying the
sounds he hears.

 Altho no omoonwatch teams have reported sightings since the one Monday night from Tennessee, Smithsonian astronomers said that both the rocket and Sputnil1 are orbiting the earth high enough to remain safe from death in the atmosphere for a month or more.
 The Chattanooka team said it saw bluish streak lasting several seconds.

Indications Mount That Marshal Zhukov Staged # Showdown Battle Over Kremn Power, Policies

dier. had sought to hold down the influence of Communist political workers in the ranks of the armed forces.
 Purged Traitors
 2. Zhukov had insisted louder than anyone else on the rehabill- tation of the memories of Red army leaders purged as traitors by Stalin in the 1930s. The mar shal apparently carried no per- sonal guilt in these purges, but Khrushchev and other top party people presumably do.
 Caution Instinct Aroused
 3. Khrushchev's bold moves in the Middle East, particularly his flaming of the crisis over Syria, had aroused the instincts of cau- ton of Zhukov and perhaps of other army men.
 The usually well-informed Da- nish newspaper, Copenhagen Information, quoted diplomatic sources yesterday as saying that Khrushchev some time ago toyed with a plan to send Zhukov to Washington as Soviet ambassador.
 However, this met with oppo- sition from Zhukov himself, who presumably interpreted it as an attempt to remove him from the Soviet Union in a painless way" said the paper.

Woman fishing: Have you an- other cork, dear? This one keeps sinking"
The Nome nugget., 1957-10-30
By TOM OCHIL

LONDON, R-Indications grew today that Marshal Georgi Zhu- kov had rallied unexpected sup port in a showdown battle over power and policies inside the Gen. tral Committee of the Soviet Com munist Party
 The delay in announcing a de- cision Cn whether Zhukov would remain a member of the ruling party Presidium, or 'Politburo, contributed to an impression that battle was on between the mar shal and Soviet party boss Nikita Khrushchev
 Tight Censorship
 The impression was heightened by the tight Moscow censorship. Even the Communist press outside the Soviet Union seemed confused by the blackout on information.
 Hints of a behind -the-scenes struggle came from editorials in Soviet newspapers, impressions of Western diplomats in Moscow and dispatches from Communist cor respondents in the Soviet capital
 differences were drawn from re- ports the Central Committee had been meeting off and on since the 61-year-old marshal's custer as defense minister Saturday. It had been expected to make an impor- tant announcement Tuesday.
 Mechanical Delay
 However, news correspondents with experience in Moscow said the delay on any public announce ment may be due simply to the mechanics of giving advance word of the decision to party commit tees turnout the country Zhukov was removed from the 15-man party Presidium which he joined as full member only four mcnths ago.
 Editorials in the Communists press indicated the marshal was
The Nome nugget., 1957-10-30

being accused of interfering with party control of the army.
 An Intriguing Possibility
 The lack of an announcement suggested he may have staged a counterattack in the six-story stone building in the heart of Moscow where the Central Com mittee meets.
 Even if Zhukov eventually is vanquished, Western quarters are intrigued by indications the tough marshal had been able to put up a fight.
 Same battle-ground
 The stage of the battle was the same as last June when Khrush- chev is reported to have appealed to the Central Committee, after an adverse decision in the Presid- iu1n, and won out over the three stalWarts: V. M. Molotov, Georgi Malenkov, and Lazar Kaganovich.
 By this appeal in June Khrush- chev may have set a precedent by which some Central Committee members got the idea they had a veto over the Presidium.
 Rehabilitation of Purged Traito
 It seemed clear Zhukov and Khrushchev had clashed on at least three points:
