Proposed Expected From Khrushchev

CONSTANTINE BROWN

Prime Minister Khrushchev.
It is reported in usually we'll
informed diplomatic quarters.
has brought with him on the
much-desired visit to America
some concrete propositions
for relaxing the Soviet
American tensions.
These he will present to
President Eisenhower and
the other members of our
hierarchy who will be invited
by the President TO attend the
secret confabs at Camp
David next week.
According TO usually in
formed diplomatic sources.
the Soviet ruler viii offer O
number Of steps affecting ex-
clusively the improvement Of
American Russian relations.
Among these will be @ con-
siderable increase in the
economic and cultural ex-
changes with the accent on
the Soviet Unions purchases,
on credit, Of American heavy
industry products; a mild
form of disarmament by a
reduction Of military forces
by both countries (the Soviet
Union, without counting its

Khrushchev Seen Trying to Confuse
And MisIeud in Press Club Talk

swers to questions at the
Press Club AFFAIR.
Those persons IN the United
States who have chung to the
hope that the Soviet Premier
would bring some proposal
that would melt the Ice" OF
the West Berlin problem
must be disappointed today.
For 1t is plain now that Mr..
Khrushchev has come to the
United States not to make
any agreements or yield an
inch on the rigid position he
has taken but to seek merely
an outlet for his own views.
He said to the Press Club:
; Repetition Is the mother
of knowledge-we are a
pretty persistent people"
This is the key to the whole
Khrushchev mission. 1t is de-
signed to say over and over
again-with plenty OF over
tones of conciliatry phrasing
but with no concession--what
the Soviet government has
been saying right along over
the air, In the press and In
diplomatic conferences be-
tween the East and West.
The Soviet Premier seemed
a bit sensitive when. at the
Press Club. he was asked
about Hungary. He said
somewhat irritably that he
could bring UP similar ques-
lions about the West. But
the fact remains he never did
explain why the Hungarian
people were deprived Of the
government they chose or
why their Premier was lured
away from q diplomatic lega-
ton, where he had been given
legal asylum. and summarily
executed.
Mr.. Khrushchev seems to
think that II he insists upon
it, Americans viii forget such
things-all In the interest
supposedly Of a better UNDER
standing. He fails to realize
that it is precisely Just such
hypocritical answers as he
gave about Hungary that
make 1t impossible to place
any trust in his words. Thus
he exclaimed with consider
able emphasis:
well. you see the question
Of Hungary has stuck in some
peoples threats as q dead rat.
He feels that 1t Is unpleasant
and yet he cannot spit 1t out.
II there is Q desire that our

Defense Leaders
Urge Forces to Aid
Red Cross Drive

Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Secretary of Defense
Neil F. McElroy and other
leaders of the Defense eStab-
lishment yesterday called on
armed forces personnel to sup
port the Red Cross Fund cam

The six area Red Cross
chapters here will conduct a
supplemental appeal to raise
the amount of money they
would have received if the
United Givers Fund had
reached its 81 million goal.
THE fact that in 1858 the
Red Cross spent 81 cents of
every dollar in assisting Serv-
icemen and veterans with per-
sonal family problems wildly
demonstrates the wonderful
support given our armed
forces" Gen. Twining declared.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
president of the American Red
Cross, reported that more than
100000 servicemen and their
families were served by the
Red Cross during fiscal 1858.

The automatic counters az.
tached to the coin box and

were going over the treadle than

Mr.. Winkeiried figures the
cars were either driving under
the gate or darting in behind
paying cars before the gate
came down again.
So about 10 days ago. his
firm suspended a chain under
the gates at one lot and speeded
up the time it takes To close
after a coin is deposited. This
helped somewhat, but a few cars

Maybe the drivers have a

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:

DEAR DIR. STENCROHN:
wish all mothers Of first
babies were taught something
about Group. It's a horribly
Tightening thing to be
awakened at night by your
infant-apparently well when
he went to sleep-fghting for
breath. That happened to my
boy and 1 was beside myself
and practically helpless. My
husband was away and we
we're all alone. Fortunately.
a kind neighbor responded to
my urgent phone call. With
out her ! think both son and
mother would have passed
out together.
After this experience, I
know can handle a similar
emergency myself. But it's an
awful way to learn. ! wish,
DR.. Steincrohn. you would
give your readers (among
them young mothers) a few
pointers. Mrs. j. j.
FRIGHTENING" is the
word for it. When doctors
come in on full-blown Group
case, the entire household is
usually in panic. its various
members scurrying helplessly
here and there like so many
bewildered ants. AS you sug-
gest, a little knowledge might
neutralize excess emotion and
promote prompt alienation Of
symptoms.
First, what is Group? 1t is
really a laryngitis. The swell
ing Of the tissues causes mar
rowing Of the air passages.
Result? The little child has
difficulty getting enough air
into his lungs. The attack
can occur at any age: but is
most common between l and
6 years. Because he can't get
sufficient air. the child be-
comes frightened and aggra-
Yates the condition.
The Group may be pre-
coded by a cold; sometimes,
as in your child, Mrs. j. j.,
he apparently is well. The
child may get up at night
with a loud. barking cough.
He seems to struggle for aid.
His temperature may be
around 101.
Group often is caused by a
virus similar to those which
cause the common cold.
Sometimes there are compli-
eating bacteria like the in
fluenza bacillus, staphylo-
cocci, Streptoccoeci and pneu-
monia germs. And lastly, we
must always consider the
possibility of diphtheria.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MEMORY: Pianist Arthur
Rubinstein has long been
known for the speed with
which he can commit intri-
cate musical selections to
memory.
At the age of II. Rubin
stein made a profound i'm
preston on world-renowned
virtuoso Ignace Paderewski,
who invited the youth to
spend the summer studying
with him. Paderewski. at the
time, was engaged in COM
posing a sonata. He wrote a
few bars each day and then
played the completed part
over and over. BY the end of
the summer, when the sonata
was finished, RubinStein knew
it as we'll as his host.
Some weeks later. the
sonata was published. On
the day following its publica-
ton, Rubinstein was Sched-
uled to give a concert in
Warsaw. He announced that
he would play the new COM
position. Accomplished mu-
SicianS, irked by this bragga-
docio, turned out en- masSe to
see him fall on his face.
They remained to cheer,
for Rubinstein turned in
a superlative performance.
Later, in his dressing room,
they could not praise him
enough.
How did you master such
a difficult piece in so short
a time?" one of them de-
manded, with undisguised
admiration.
1T wasn't really so short
a time" said Rubinstein
lightly. After all, 1 had a
full day to learn it,"

very sick-should get a dose
of diphtheria antitoxin. The
doctor may also decide TO adj
minister antibiotics.
WHAT TO DO before the
doctor comes? The first es-
sential is emotional control
and composure more easily
said than done.) II you are
scared, the child will sense it
and get worse. =
Next. close all windows.
Get him to breathe in a
steam filled room or COM
partment. The quickest way
is to get him into the bath
room and run a hot shower.
If he has a moderate attack,
he will soon be breathing
more comfortably. In the
meanwhile, have someone
heat up a hot kettle and
place it near the child's crib.
BE sure it's not close enough
to burn. Put a sheet over
the sides Of the crib and
direct the steam under it.
Making your child vomit
often relieves the throat
spaSm and eases breathing.
Therefore always have syrup
of ipecac on hand and give
him a teaSpoonful. That will
do the trick.
If he begins to improve
within the hour-f1ne. He
probably will get through the
night and be practically over
it in the morning. How
ever, if he is still blue in the
face, if his breathing is still
labored, better be sure the
doctor comes. If you can't
get him, bring the child to
the hospital yourself! In
severe cases there may be
need for a tracheotomy.

medical degree. he says ne
can't think about marriage
now because it will take an
other four years or so for
him to establish himself. In
the meantime he takes up
all Isabel's time and thinks
nothing of it.
l feel that this man does
not really care for her and
she is wasting her time. She
has set her sights too high.
She isn't getting any younger
and she wants a home and
family. 1t is high time she
accepted reality.
Isabel F.-What's the use
Of talking about it? When
you're in love. you're in love,
and there isn't anything you
can do about it. Other men
just don't interest me. Every
now and then when 1 try
going out with others it winds
up as a complete fiasco. I am
bored to death.
The man I'm in love with is
very superior in every way.
He is brilliant and quite
handsome. Many women are
crazy about him, but I'm the
only one who has managed
to get to first base with him.
He won't admit that he loves
me, but he has gotten to
depend on me.
l am willing to go to work
for a time to help him
through his professional
studies and I have limited as
much, but he says he GER
tainly wouldn't want any
woman to support him. He
is really wonderful.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Isabel may appear to have
set her sights too high in one
sense, but we think they are
far too low in another.
She seems to look upon
the man she claims to love
as a highly desirable COM
modify rather than as a
human being. She cites his
dazzling qualities-brilliance
good looks. The fact that
other women compete for
him is her proof that he is
really valuable. She is as
proud that she has gotten to
first base" as she would be
if she landed a job for which
there was stiff competition.
On the other hand, Isabel
seems to think nothing OF
the fact that this man has
come to depend upon her
while he offers nothing in
return. He probably uses her
as a convenient date and as
a way of Tending of other
women. At the same time
the idea in back of his mind
is probably to play a delaying
action and see what else
turns up in his life. He will
go to a higher bidder-if one
turns up.
Isabel has made herself a
sitting duck for this kind of
treatment In spite of this,
a man of character would
not let himself get involved
in such an arrangement. If
he found himself unable to
return a woman's affection
he would let her know it in
no uncertain terms.
So Isabel's real error in
this relationship lies in set
ting her sights too low in
human and emotional terms.
Instead of looking for a man
who wants to give and receive
love, she is looking for a man
who will somehow be a feath-
er in her cap.
ISabel's underlying prob
lem is a sense of her own
unworthineSs. She is look
ing for a man who will en-
nance her prestige in the
eyes of the world, AS long as
she needs to prove herself to
others, she will be unable to
either give or win real love.

Disliked Tattling

How, she wanted to know,
could she tattle on the per-
son who had really done the
killing when she herself had
wanted to do the same thing?
To her it added up to a moral
wrong.
Actor Powell finally con-
WINGED the girl to be a wit
ness and, under oath, tell the
truth. So everything turned
out all right in the end. But
the story, in its way, sug-
gested the multipurpose util-
ity of the court oath.
The main purpose of the
oath is to permit the courts to
arrive at the truth and thus
be in a position to dispense
Justice. Aside from its objec-
tive, however, the oath has
much value as a lever by
which to overcome the normal
psychological reluctance to
"tell tales" Experienced
trial lawyers can tell you that
in some cases this becomes a
formidable obstacle.)
Early Training
Such reluctance may be due
to the fact that from the time
they are in the tiny-tot stage,
humans are brought up not
to be tattletaleS. There is a
natural and for the most part
healthy resentment against
the talebearer.
But such teachings, as every
parent is aware, have their
negative side, and it is often
a very difficult thing to
provide children with an in
telligent standard for deter
mining when to tell" and
when not to.
In any case, no matter how
old we get, this built-in ret
icence against tattling stays
with us. So unless We are in

of mind, we are often squeam-
