DEAR ABBY: We are two
girls with a problem. There
is this girl at school who has
q terrible reputation. And
she won't leave us alone.
Everywhere we go she is
right behind us. She hangs
around our locker and tries
to eat lunch with us.
It is causing US to lose all
our friends because people
are beginning to think we
are just like her.
We don't want to hurt her
feelings because she hasn't
any friends. Please help us.
We are all IA.
Be kind to her. She needs
it. Showing this unfortunate
girl common courtesy when
she latches onto you will not

How to

By DR.. PETER J. STElNcRoHN

After reading your column
on the 'Firebug' / just had to
tell you my son was also a
flrebug.
II didn't dare turn my back
on him. I tried everything.
Finally, the thought came
to me that children like to do
the things they aren't allowed
to do. So bought a box Of
matches and set him in the
bathtub with only a few
inches of water in it.
II told him to strike all he
wanted to. He struck about
half the box, and dipped
them in the water to put out
the fire. After this he asked
help in getting out of the
tub.
II have never had any
more trouble. 1t might not
work with all children, but
1t sure cured my son."

Some people spend their
health like others use a tube
Of tooth paste or shaving
cream. When it is new they
use large gobs Of it as If the
tube were elf-filling and
gave out an unending supply
Of the stuff.
Then, inevitably comes the
day when the tube is wrinkled
and then they become more
conservative in its use. Sur
prisingly, they find that a
smaller amount per applica-
ton gives them just as good
a shave; that the gobs they
used to apply were pure
wastefulness.
Then, comes the morning
when they must shave-they
squeeze and squeeze-but on
general principles.
THEY BUY ANOTHER
tube, unscrew the cap-and
there again is the 4 or s.
inch ribbon instead of the
inch that would do as well.
Good health is like that.

say, I'm going to be more

nights, no overeating, no

However, comes the feeling
of healthfulnesS again, and
they are up to their old tricks.
They forget that when their
energies again get down to

they may again be faced with
dangerous illness.
Such wastefulness Of en-
ergy is often the precursor
of a coronary attack-or any
of a dozen other life-shorten-
ing diseases.
You can always buy a fresh
tube of paste; but loss Of
health due to wastefulness of

Test Ban:
New Delay

When the Geneva talks on a
nuclear test ban recessed for the
duration of the foreign ministers
conference, it was expected that
informal negotiations would con-
tinue. Mr.. Herter. Mr.. Gromyko
and Mr.. Lloyd did take out time
from their exchange of views
at the round table to survey the
test ban situation, Their con-
versations were apparently in
conclusive.
Chief stumbling block at present
is a new Western demand that the
test ban talks be delayed pending
a new scientific study of under
ground and space testing. Neither
Of these was taken into considera-
ton last summer when the scien-
tific experts of Britain. the Soviet
Union and the United States
agreed that existing detection
methods we're sufficient to police

The new obstacle came when
a previous one had apparently
been surmounted. Soviet objec-
lions to inspection teams on her
territory had at last yielded, in
principle. to British Prime Min
lister Macmillan's proposal that a
limited. specified number of
checkups be arranged each year.

Middle East:
Tactics

The serious concern in Western
capitals over the political situa-
ton in 1raq was considerably les
sened last week. The reason:
much evidence that Premier Abdel
Karen Ksssem has at last taken
Strony grip on his previously
shaky government, and that he
has the popular support to back
him up.
The threat of Communist par
ticipation in the Baghdad cabinet
has not been laid to rest. But the
trend of events since the Pre-
mier's rejection of Communist
demands for a share in the gov
eminent seem to indicate a Com
muniSt retreat The party's &C
tivitieS were spotlighted when the
leftist National Democratic Party,
acceding to the Kassem wish that
party activities be suspended for
the time being, in effect called on
the Communists to do likewise.
Successful negotiations with
Britain for arms aid have done
much, observers in Baghdad re-
port, to bolster Gen. Kassem's
prestige and popularity and have
lessened chances for another pro-
Nasser revolt. At the same time
they have improved to some ex-
tent Iraqi attitudes toward the
) West.

.e7F - THEaWEEK IN PERSPECTIY 800
The Waiting Game in Geneva

When the Congress Of Vienna
met in 1915 to remake the map
Of Europe after Napoleon's final
defeat. the Austrian Foreign
Minister Count Metternich, willy,
shrewd and icily calculating, took
note Of the protocol problems be-
setting the Congress. The main
sessions were held in a huge
chamber at the Schoenbrunn
where extra doors had to be cut
to assure that the plenipotentiaries
Of the major powers could enter
the room simultaneously
II care not" said Metternich.
how many doors they cut, or who
enters first. But I do care, as
suredly, that after the gentlemen
depart they will find means to
meet together. even two-by-two,
over a fiagon Of good wine and a
comforting repast. It is here.
rather than in the council, that
decisions will be made In good
faith"
In Geneva last week. it seemed
that a similar situation was de-
veloping. The sessions of the
Foreign Ministers, held in the
great chambers of the Palace of
Nations-once the headquarters
of the old League of Nations and
now United Nations property
were so far begged down not in
protocol but in polemic. Progress,
If any, is almost certain to be
achieved in the villas where the
statesmen are staying.
The West, averred Soviet For
eign Minister Gromyko, was en-
barked. through the North Attain
tic Treaty Organization, on q
warlike, aggressive course. Charg-
ing that West Germany was being
covered with rocket Sites" Mr..
Gromyko declared that the Ger
mans were rearming with view
to revenge" for their defeat in
World War II.

For Cubo:
Land Law

Premier Fidel Castro's revolu-
tionary government of Cuba last
week took a major step toward
carrying out the pledges of the
Goth of July Movement, And the
volatile, bewhiskered leader took
a sharp slap at the Communists,
whose influence in his government
has been viewed with alarm by
many since Dictator Fulgencio Ba-
tista was ousted on New Years
Day.
The major step toward promised
reforms was sweeping land law
that will deprive major sugar in
terests of much of their cane
acres. The appropriation will be
compensated by 20-year Cuban
bonds bearing 41a per cent inter-
est, and the present owners get
one year in which to divest them
selves of their holdings in excess
Of the agrarian law.
Major American sugar producers
are heavily affected by the act.
But Mr.. Castro says he means
business, and also that he does
not expect reprisals from the
United States. "fhes revolution
does not make laws in order to
modify them later" he told a
television audience on Friday; "the
agrarian law will be imposed to
the letter this is q surgical
operation that must be carried
out in the interest of the national
economy" Mr.. Castro's own fam
lily estatefwill lose over 1000 acres
under the terms Of the law.
On the Communist issue, the
Premier blasted extremists"

The Gromyko Position

A peace treaty with each Of
the two Ceramics, he declared.
was essential to prevent back
sliding toward war" Rearming
of West Germany and alliance
with NATO. he warned, could
mean only continuation of the
danger of about war. Therefore
a peace treaty was "indispensa-
BILE" to any East-West agreement
likely to ease the tensions Of the
cold war.
Mr.. Gromyko'S sharp acerbity
was quickly answered by Secre-
tary of State Herter. Following
a suggestion Of British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, Mr.. Her
ter did not wait, as has been
his previous practice, for the next
days session, but replied to the
Russians attack Immediately.
Soviet innuendos and attacks on
the sincerity of the West, said
Mr.. Herter, nullified Moscow's
protestations of good intentions
and determination to achieve an
amicable agreement with the
West.
Western military measures, in
Guiding NATO and the rearming
of West Germany, were dictated
through ordinary prudence" be-
cause of Fin many cases deliber-
ate" provocations and threats by
the Soviet Union, Mr.. Herter
commended. Russian attacks on
the integrity of the Vests posi-
ton, he added, made negotiations
fruitleSs.
II therefore hope that in the
course of the discussions as they
will proceed in the future, this
type of accusation and innuendo
will cease" he admonished his
Soviet colleague.
Thursdays exchange of COM
pliments was typical of the weeks
give-and-take at Geneva, where
the foreign ministers are attempt
ing to build the foundations for
a summit conference of heads
of-state, perhaps in August. The
conference came surprisingly
swiftly to the heart of the prob
lem-Berlin and Germany-but
in five days of debate has achieved
little measurable progress toward
a reasonable solution. Neverthe-
less, observers who have attended
many other EaSt-West meetings
insist that this one is different.
Whatever the words used for the
world press and propaganda or
gans. they say, there has been
as yet no evidence of the old
familiar "nyet" on the Soviet side
that deadlocked many earlier
meetings.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-24

ference, that would accept the
Vests right to keep troops in Ber-
lin and to supply them across East
Germany would be sufficient.
In recess for the week end, the
conference is expected to remain
in the talkathon stage for at least
a few more days. Neither side APP
pears to be in any hurry to pre-
cipitate a deadlock, or to quit the
forensics while the world is still
listening. Each side seems certain
that it is ahead in the propaganda
competition. and each seems very
willing to outwait the other. But
canny old Metternich's "flagon of
good wine and comforting repaSt"
is still looked upon as the formula
by which the Geneva statesmen
will sooner or later find enough
agreement to justify a summit
conference.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-24
Looking to Summit

But there is still optimism that
the conference will at least sue
coed in its main task-the paving
of the way for a summit confer
ence later. Mr.. Herter has put
Mr.. Gromyko on notice that his
boss, President Eisenhower. would
refuse to attend a summit meeting
if the Soviet Union imposes new
ultimatum or another deadline on
the West Berlin crisis. But Mr..
Gromyko's boss. Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, was still confidently
predicting success of the Geneva
conference.
On major points, the Geneva
meeting has just arrived at the
stage of definition. The WeSt.has
laid its package" on the table,
and it has been rejected-as a
package-by Mr.. Gromyko. The
East has made a three-alternative
proposal for resolution of the Ber-
lin problem, and all three plans
have been rejected. But the retec-
lions have not yet had the tone
of finality that has ended so many
previous conferences. Sparring for
an opening, with an eye to the
grandStand, would seem the best
description of the Geneva meeting
to date.
Yesterday Mr.. Herter. striving
to widen the field of possible
agreement and to register a gain
for the West in world opinion.
told Mr.. Gromyko that the United
States stands ready to resume
general disarmament negotiations
with the Soviet Union at any time.
Any such negotiations, the Secre-
tary added. would be independent
of other considerations, such as
the reunification Of Germany.
West Gerrnany's observer dele
Cation on Friday called on the
West to extract Soviet pledge of
the status quo in West Berlin as
a condition for a summit confer
ence. Even an informal promise,

last Tuesday.
Mr.. Hoffa later denied that he
had said any such thing. To
reassure the doubters. he added a
pledge that there would never be
. Nationwide strike of the Team
Bters Union"
But correct or incorrect, the
remark attributed to Jimmy Hoffa
focused attention at an awkward
moment for organized labor en-
the vast and growing power over
the national economy welded by
the Transfers.
The immediate effect in WASH
ington was to heighten the pros
pect that the House Labor Com
mittee will write q tougher labor
reform bin than that already
voted by the Senate. Paradox
ically. the end result could be to
diminish the possibility Of any
effective labor legislation emerg-
ing from the present session Of
Congress.

whose demands, made through

ing trouble. Their demands, he
observed, were never made to the

"it is olive green, just as it was

Mr.. Castro's enemies were busy,
too, last week. Customs officers
in Miami seized a huge C-74
Globemaster loaded with arms
and ammunition, and arrested IL
persons preparing to take off with
the contraband to the Dominican
Republic. Two Dominican con-
sular officials were among those
charged with completely in at

toms officials. The arms report
edly were to be flown to Ciudad
Trujillo and turned over to ex-

Crime:
Porty's Over

On Nov. IA, 1857, curious New
York State Police crashed a party
at the home of Joseph Barbara,
ST.. at Apalachin, N. Y. Some so
guests were taken in custody.
Their identities provided police
with puzzle that is still unsolved.
The guest list read like blue book
Of the American underworld. The
names included Vito Genovese,
Joe Profaci. John Ormento, Mike
Miranda and other known king
pins Of organized crime.
The distinguished group, some
Of whom had come from as far
away as the West Coast, had ar
rived at the $4,000 Barbara
mansion in an assortment of ex-
penSive limouSines. They were
carrying, collectively, about $780,
900 in cash.
With no evidence on which to
hold those arrested. the police
were forced, after fruitless ques-
tioning, to release them. The
Barbara party has come, however,
to be known as the crime con-
vention" and there are several in
triguing theories as to why it was
held.
One is that the overlords of the
underworld felt it necessary to
plan a common defense against
the probings of the Senate Rack
cts Committee. Another was that
the meeting had been inspired by
the murder Of Albert Anastasia,
erstwhile boss of Murder Inc, in a
New York barber shop a few weeks
before.
There was also a suspicion that
the gathering was a business meet
ing of the Malta, the criminal COM
bine of Italian origin alleged by
some police officials to control
organized crime in the United
States.
In the months following the
Apalachin meeting. numerous po-
lice and grand jury inquiries
sought to crack the riddle. Most

Reormed Germany

Looming like a gaunt shadow
over the foreign ministers DELHI
erations was still the spectre of
a rearmed, reunited Germany.
Plainly, the Soviet Union was in
no circumstances ready to accept
a reunited Germany which could
possibly become a new military
power in Europe. Mr.. Gromyko
made it clear, many times in
many ways, that the Vests in
sistence on taking steps toward
the Identification of Germany
would get nowhere at all now. His
entire program was based on ac-
ceptance. even if de facto, by the
West of the existence of two Ger
man states.
On the Vests perimeter of the
big round table, the influence of
West German Chancellor Ade-
nauer was pervasive. The West
Germans. like their East German
counterparts, are seated at a rec
tangular table adjoining the
round table. They are observers,
not participants. But the voice of
Bonn was heard not only in the
clipped accents of West Ger
many's Foreign Minister Helm
rich Won Brentano. and the per-
suasiye prose of Ambassador to
Washington Wilhelm Grewe. 1t
was discernible as well in the re-
marks Of every Western spokes-
man. including those of MFR.
Lloyd. whose governments posi-
ton has been consistently more
flexible than any Of the Big
Three.
