interesting feature which the
allies so far have almost COM
pletely ignored.
In his proposals for Berlin,
the Russian foreign minister,
for the first time, recognizes
the principle that the Western
occupation should continue un-
til an alderman committee
charged with working out q
plan for German reunification
has finished its work. Until
then, the Soviet Union is will
ing to guarantee access to the
city as 1t now exists for both
military and civilian trafic.
This principle is not only ac-
ceptable to the allies. 1t Is pre-
cisely what the allies have
sought here above everything
else. If Mr.. Gromyko were will
ing I'd put that simple principle
in writing and sign 1t, 1t would
represent an almost miraculous
diplomatic victory for the West.
Whole Plan Rejected
Instead Of pressing the Rus
slams for this, however. the
allies have rejected the entire
Russian plan as completely un-
acceptable. Most explicitly. Mr..
Herter has declared that Mr..
Gromyko's proposals cannot be
taken as a basis for further dis
cussion" at Geneva.
This Western reaction now
seems to some experts more
like the automatic reflex Of one
OF Pavlov's pet dogs than an
act Of brilliant craftsmanship.
So far at least there has been
no evidence that the allies are
even interested in the possibil-
ity Of pinning Mr.. Gromyko
down on what is. after all, the
most crucitg question before
the conference.
The trouble of course is that
Mr.. Gromyko's plan as 1t now
stands contains a number of
other features which distort
the principle to the advantage
| of the Russians. There Is the
fact, for example, that he
wishes to set a time-limit OF
one year on the work Of the
alderman committee.
He also threatens TO take
unilateral action to end the
Western occupation II the
committee, as he apparently
expects. fails TO complete its
work on time. There are a
number of other disagreeable
gimmicks to the Russian plan
as well. But at the same time.
the Russians here have been
busily explaining to anyone
who would listen that every
thing in their proposals is
negotiable.
Principle Held Important
If the Russian proposals were
accepted as a basis for discus
sion, the problem for the allies
would be to detach the all
important principle from the
unacceptable conditions in
which it is wrapped. At the
very least Mr.. Gromyko should
be confronted with the simple
principle which he himself has
enunciated - that the West
should stay in Berlin until a
committee has completed its
work on German reuniflcation,
II he agrees to that much, the
details could be left for sum-
NIT conference. And the West,
even II no further agreement
were reached at the summit,
would be much more secure in
Berlin than 1t is now.
1t is highly possible. Of course,
that Mr.. Gromyko might refuse
to accept his own principle
without the conditions which he
has attached to 1t. But If he
does, the responsibility for a
breakdown Of the conference
will at least be quite clear. And
the Western ministers then
cannot be accused Of muffing
the best diplomatic opportunity
to come their way in years.

YOU CAN LEARN HOW
TO COMBAT BADNESS

This Is message directed TO men who are worry.

combs and brushes filled with looseha each morn.
ing; who look in the mirror and see the hair line
creeping up at the temples, or a thin spot getting
bigger on the crown We are going to tell you how
you can learn - in just as minutes - how to COM
bat badness - and rhy badness can be prevented
in many cases.
Perhaps you've been told that nothing can be
done to check thinning hair. Or maybe you've
thought that badness is inherited if you "are 90.
ing to get bald, you are going TO get bald" On the
other hand, like many thinking men, maybe you've
concluded that there is abundance of nonsense about
hair loss = and minimum of common sense.
Nonsense vs.. Common Sense
What Is nonsense and what is common sense
about the badness problem? Figure it out for your.
self. You we're born with the scalp structure that
grew good head of hair for you for many years.
This means two things Q) you still have the neces
sary structure for continuing the growth of hair and
~ you didn't inherit badness" Actually, the
hair follices (sources Of hair growlh) remain
alive" in your scalp, ready, willing and able TO
grow hair in most cases, long as you live. (Ex.
ceptions: scar tissue damage, and folicular occu.
sion, due to certain diseases rare.)
What happens = why does you hair start to thin?
Your hair goes through definite growing" cycle.
Each hair is born" on the inside of the folicle,
pushes through to the scalp surface grows to mature
length and then falls out This process takes about
year. In fact, each four years you have a com.
plecly new head Of hair. You can see then that it
is NOT the hair that fall out that cause badness
- it's the hair that fails to replace it! Thinning
