In other comments Mr.. Frear

Senator said he was impressed
by the strong bipartisan sup

On the German issue itself,

Company construction expendi-
lures in 1858 totaled $8,43l, 900,
w. D. Gillen, president of the
company, states in the tele-
phone company's annual report
published this week. This was
the third consecutive year in
which expenditures for growth
and improvements exceeded
seven million dollars, Gillen
reports. The principal construc-
tion outlays during the year
were more than SO million for
outside telephone plant, such as
cable and wires, and nearly So
million for central Office equip
ment, the report states. Conf
dent in the future, we moved
ahead with certain programs to
modernize and expand our plant
regardless of the economic re-
cession early in the year." Gill
len writes. Our decision to con-
tinue building kept people use
fully at work, contributed to the
stability of Delaware's economy
and enabled us to have facilities
available as needed" The COM
pany is collecting increased
charges, under a refunding bond,
pending a decision in its cur
rent application for general
rate increases. 1t is collecting a
smaller amount, also under
bond, while an appeal of a 1857
rate order of the P.S.C. is be-
fore the Delaware Supreme
Court. These increases, which
have not been made permanent,
temporarily improved the COM
pany's earnings per share of
stock from an average of $1.66
in 1857 to $l.87 in 1858. This
compares with the $l.75 divi-
dend paid in recent years. The
earnings of the Diamond State
Telephone Company are low in
relation to other businesses, Gil
len stated. This low level of
earnings, he contends, places
the telephone company at a
marked disadvantage in compet-
ing with other industries, as it
must for investment dollars
needed for the orderly growth
which will enable the company
to meet its public responsible
ties. "Only by being financially
able to do the right kind of job
at the start can we hold down
average costs through the
years." Gillen states. "Only with
good earnings in the future can
we hope to preserve the differ
ential between our rates and the
increased prices the public pays
for most other things" The
number of telephones served by
the Diamond State Company in
creased during 1858 by 1895,

WHY GROW OLD?
WHY GROW OLD?
WhQt About Those
Reducing Theories?
BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
Register and Tribune Syndicate

Some Of the craziest ideas
possible have to do with re-
ducing. I still hear about
many of them through the
mail.
The notion that standing
up for 20 minutes after meal
is reducing still is floating
about. Some believe that GER
tain foods will decrease or
increase certain parts of the
body. The old idea that
drinking vinegar is Slimming
still exists. incidentally I do
not know who started the
theory that eating fish will
increase brain power. No
doubt somebody who was
selling f1ShD
1t would be lovely to know
that pie a la mode increases
the bust measurement or
that eating fish makes us
smarter. However, am sorry
to say that my shrimp and
filet Of sole haven't made me
a bit brighter-and the only
thing I can imagine the con-
sumption of large quantities
Of cinegar could do would be
to give one indigestion.
Noon Meal Theory
Another die-hard idea is
that it is reducing to eat
your largest meal at noon
and a light meal at night.
The only basis I can find
for this theory is that most
people are not as hungry
at noon as they are at night,
that is. if they have eaten
an adequate breakfast.
Also few folks have time to
linger at the table at noon.

one is troubled with indiges-

From Mrs. r. L. X. Bethesda
We had the same problem
Of feeding a l-year-old baby
in a high chair at the table.
We solved it by laying an
old plastic tablecloth down
at the baby's place and then
set the high chair on it for
every meal. 1t was easy to
wipe up spills and, after the
meal the plastic was folded
and put out Of sight.

us some advice? We are 60
ing to get a puppy for our
two little boys, ages 2 and 4,
and don't know what kind
would make a good pet. We

OF course, we want one
that is safe with children.

probably would promote a
better grade of sleep.
There's no profit in using
sophistry! You only will be
killing yourself and putting
off that fatal day when you
have to count calories. The
only way to lose weight is to
cut down on your food in
take. 1t is just as simple as
that. However, the more re-
Stricted your diet is the more
careful you should be to get
all of the essentials necessary
for health.
Stymied
Women often become dis
couraged because after a sue
cessful loss of poundage
(when they still have more to
lose) they come to a stand
still. Although they still are
counting Galleries faithfully
they fail to lose any more.
One reason for this stand
still of the scales is that we
must support our fatty de-
posts as well as the rest of
us. In other words, suppose
you reduce your daily cal
orie intake four or five hun
bred calories below what you
are accustomed. You will
lose weight, but there comes
a time when you have
reached the point when you
need all you are eating to
support you and the fat you
have left. Then you must de-
crease your calorie intake
further.
Well, most of us are in the
same boat. We either are
struggling to lose or to- gain
weight. I have never yet met
a woman who was complete
Iy satisfied with her figure.

what about Khrushchev's
responsibility for the agrees
sion In northern India and
in Laos?" was then asked,
and the answer given was:
Its no major war that is
involved for them In India
and not only that. Moscow
is just as much interested as
Red China in communism
taking over Asia"
Coincident with these COM
ments is the significant
speech made this week by
Gen. c. F. Cabell. the deputy
director Of Central Intelli-
gence, who says with respect
to the Communist aggression
In Laos:
1--WE know that the Com
munists have clandestinely
supplied weapons and trained
agitators and are MASTER
minding the operation"
Gen. Cabell also outlines
in detail the Communist
infltration and preparations
for aggression in various
countries in Africa. He adds:
ITO the free peoples Of the
West, the bold evidence of
Communist aggression is not
very palatable. Calling this
peaceful coexistence' does
not make much sense to me-"
So far as Red China is
concerned. there is, indeed,
much confusion here about
the actual relationship be-
tween Peiping and Moscow.
Many observers are assuming
that these are two independ-
ent entities and that their
policies are by no means CO.
ordinated. B asically, Red
China. however, is entirely
dependent on the Soviet
Union. 1t cannot. get help
from any other part Of the
world and must depend for
its entire economic future on
the aid that 1t gets from the
Soviet regime. It is not likely,
therefore, that Peiping will
fail on any important matter
to take advice from Moscow.
This provides q test of the
sincerity Of Mr.. Khrushchev
in his new role as q peace
maker.

Soviet Boss Seen Posing as Peocemoker
To Cover Up Instigoting Peiping Actions

What Is Premier Khru-
shchev's game in Red China?
since no formal communi-
que was issued after his
visit to Peiping, there have
been some observers here
and abroad who have jumped
TO the conclusion that all is
not well between the Red
China regime and the Soviet
government.
But there are evidences
that the Soviet Premier is
playing a skillful role of
seeming to avoid RESPONSE
bility for what has been hap
pening in the Far East-if
only to convince Americans
that he really means to be a
peacemaker. Actually, the
Moscow government is be-
ieved not only to be behind
the trouble stirred up by
the Communists in Laos,
Pakistan and India, but has
been calling the signals on
Quemoy.

Mideost's Most Stable Power Louded
For Diplomatic and Economic Gains

The Central Treaty Organi-
cation, successor to the de-
funct Baghdad Pact. has been
officially formed with the
signing Of an agreement in
Washington by Turkey. Iran,
Britain and Pakistan, the
participating members.
The United States con-
tinues to remain officially
outside the coalition. But it
is giving it every conceivable
support, since it is our own
brainchild.
The spark plug of CENTO
is Turkey, the strongest unit
in the alliance. While condi-
tons have considerably i'm
proved in Pakistan and in
Iran in the last year, Tur-
key continues to be the most
stable power in the Middle
East. 1t boasts a well-trained
military force and its eco
nomic condition, which was
nearing bankruptcy a year
ago, has been stabilized,
thanks to the support given
her by all the Western pow
ers. The West realized in
time that 1t would be disas-
trous to its defenses should
this key country straddling
important lines Of commune
cations to the eastern Medi-
terranean have been allowed
to 60 down the drain eco
nomically and financially.
Moreover, Turkish diplo-
macy has made important
strides by establishing impor-
tant contacts in the Far East
through close relations with
the Korean republic and Ma
tionlist China. At the same
time. it wisely patched up the
Communist-inspired conflict
with Its neighbor, Greece,
thus avoiding the establish
ment Of another Russian toe
hold in the eastern Mediter-
ranean.
Prime Minister Adnan
Menderes who has been at
the helm for 10 years and his
outspoken Foreign Minister
Fatin Zorlu are chiefly re-
sponsible for the remarkable
job Of guiding Turkey out of
the economic mess In which
it found itself and also for ex-
panding Turkeys Importance
In the Pacific. Both men are
realists who see things as they
are and not as they would
like them to be.
Menderes and Zorlu agree
completely on foreign policy.
They realize as much as the
late Secretary of State Dulles
that the Kremlin may change
occasionally its tactics to fit
occasions but never it's ulti-
mate goals. The Turkish
leaders also understand that
the defense against interna-
tional communism must be
total and that there is no
room for concessions or
appeasement.
The two Turkish leaders
