DEAR ABBY: Have par
ents the right to forbid their
15-year-old daughter to go
with a boy they think is
unfit company for her? Our
objections to the boy are
based on more than vague
general principles. He is 10,
has been in trouble with the
law more than once, and has
been a bad influence on other
teen-agerS. Also, his family
has a very bad record. Our
daughter thinks we are cruel
and unjust because we don't
want her going with a mixed
up juvenile delinquent. She
says if she doesn't give him
a chance to prove he has
changed, it will be her fault
if he goes wrong again. Your
opinion is needed quickly.
CONCERNED PARENTS
A 15-year-Old girl lacks the
experience and maturity re-
quired to "rehabilitate" the
troubled young man you de-
scribe. Her motives may be
noble, but she shouldn't be
allowed to jeOpardize herself,
or her reputation, by going
with a character who has
vet to prove he has
changed"

DEAR ABBY: What was
so wonderful about that lady
who took her husband a hot
lunch to work every day? I
have walked over a mile in
hip-deep water just to take
my husband a thermos of hot
stew and coffee while he was
hunting in a cold duck blind.

erage"?) They don't hardly

door and gave her the water.
A few minutes later, a young
man had come through the
glass door with a gun. He
had waved it at the chef and
asked him for the money in
the till. The girl had stifled
a scream with her hand.
Joannides came out and
conferred with Fogarty on
the stories they were getting.
Then Dan told the girl he
was bringing her in. She
started to cry. 1t was an old
story. The girl worked with
the holdup man. They
worked bars in the early
morning. The girl looked sexy
and, when she saw a man
alone behind a bar, she asked
for water. A holdup always
followed.
THE CHEF HEARD the
story and shook his head. He
admitted that, after he gave
the girl the glass of water,
he had made advances. Then
the young man had come in
with the gun. The lesson had
cost the Greek $145.
The girl said that her boy
friend told her to stay
around the bar. In that way,
she could tell him how the
police were doing. He was,
in fact, waiting for her in
their apartment now. An
alarm went out for him.
Somewhere a young patrol
man has been given a new
detectives shield. He's going
to need a lot of experience to
become another Joannides.

seem to get one cold after
another and they always
lodge in my throat. The
result is hoarseneSs which
lasts quite a while. I have
been to two specialists and
any number of regular ply
sicians and they all tell me
my laryngitis isn't due to
any disease. They say I use
my voice too much. When
I get the attack, they tell
me not to talk above a whis-
per until the hoarseness goes
away.
I love to talk and chatter
and am completely miffed
when I get hoarSe. What a
frustrating experience! My
voice is very strong when
natural, and 1 have a tend
ency to speak boisterously
and quite loud. Could this
have anything to do with
my attacks of hoarseness?-
Mrs. NJ, New Jersey.
PEOPLE WITH recurring
colds often have weak
spots" For example, one
gets an acute attack of sinus
tits; another, sore throats;
and another may suffer in
tensely from intestinal up
sets.
Your point of least resist
ance certainly seems to be
your larynx. Be thankful
that your doctors haven't
found some serious chronic
disease as the cause of
seneSs tuberculosis,
cancer, etc.. As far as your
talking and chattering are
concerned, they may be
a contributing cause. For
we know that when the Or
gans Of the body are put
under repeated stress they
often rebel.
If you overload your stom-
ach, you may have nausea
and vomiting. If you put
your leg muscles under un-
due strain, you may come
up short with a charley
horse. Likewise, if you over
use your vocal apparatus, you
are liable to get hoarse. Es-
pecially, if there is an under
lying infection like a cold.
I know this will be diff
cult, but try to chatter less
and talk quietly. There's no
harm in becoming a good
listener, either. 1t will neu-
tralize your Illustration.
Wrinkles are inevitable in
the elderly. I know of no
the elderly. I know of no
treatment-such as medicines
or massage or other special
gadgets - which will bring
elasticity back to the aging
skin or restore a normal
amount of fatty tissue. I
am not being facetious when
I say: Don't spend your
money on these false prom
ises. Instead, spend it on
a few books which will give
you a good philosophy to live
by. You will learn to accept
wrinkles and be thankful
that you have lived long
enough to acquire them"

The liver isn't the largest
organ in the body. Skin
holds that distinction. In
fact, skin weighs about twice
as much as the liver-about
six pounds. And it is obvi-
ously the largest organ, COW
ering so much surface.

For Mrs. K, Michigan: No,
I do not usually recommend
antihistamines in the treat
ment of colds. They are of
no value; only when the So

S. c., June 23.-The emerald
green Atlantic is pounding in
upon the broad beach in all
its fury. just 100 feet from
the beamed-ceiling room in
which I'm writing these lines.
There is no moon. The pal
mettoes are shaking in the

The tiny clock on my night
table glowed like the eyes of
an angry cat, so I sat up
and got up. The time is 3
am. and all is peaceful here.
I seem to be far from the
ferments of a world in tur-

of Hollywood'S Vine street.

Luxury in Wilderness
Hilton Head Island, about
80 miles north of Savannah
and 100 south of Charleston,
combines wilderness with lux
ury. There are impenetrable
thickets and trees of every
variety-live oak and pine,
magnolia, laurel and SaSsa-
fras. bay and cassina and
holly. There are deer and wild
turkey and wild pigs, and in
quisitive alligators can be
seen from a beautiful 18-hole
golf course. There are fish
in its waters - Catalogue
Sound, the Atlantic Ocean
and Port Royal Sound.
All this $50 miles from New
York. Just move southwark
on U. S. II, make a left turn
on nearing Savannah, go
along on some State roads
and you reach the William

just about as attractive a
spot as you'll find this side
of the Canadian Rockies.

Laos Princes
Reach Accord
On Arms Unity

ZURICH, Switzerland, June
81 (AP).-The military strong
man Of Laos pro-Western gov
ernment announced today that
virtual agreement had been
reached on unifying the fighting
forces Of his nations three rival
factions.
Some points remain to be
discussed. but they are minor
ones" said Gen. Phoumi
NoSavan after a working session
of key advisers to the politician
princes now holding a summit
meeting in this Swiss city.
Gen. Phoumi Nosavan said
the three sides agreed on most
problems connected with in
tegrating the country's armies.
This indicated that one Of
the most important obstacles to
agreement among the three
sides had been virtually over
come.
But it appeared to leave un-
settled the problem Of admin
iStering provinces now under
military control by the pro-
Communist forces.
Gen. Phoumi'S statement was
echoed by QUINN Phosena of
Prince Souvanna Phouma's
neutraliSt faction.
There are more reasons to
be optimistic today" he said.
Phoumi Vongvichit of the
Communist Pathet Lao
rebels acknowledged that there
had been a certain reap
proachment." But he declined
to assess the chances for sue
cess Of the meeting.
Gen. Phoumi and the spokes-
men for the two other factions
agreed that the question Of
Laos attitude toward the
Western sponsored South East
Asia Treaty Organization was
still to be ironed out.
Neutralist sources indicated
they had submitted a proposal
that would affirm Laos hos
tility to all military alliances,
whether supported by the West
or the Communists.
The Communists and neutral
lists have been pushing for
adoption Of q clause condemn
ing SEATO. The pro- Western
forces have replied that since
Laos is not a part Of SEATO,
the clause would be irrelevant.
Laos is under SEATO protec-
ton If it falls victim to ag-

Igression, but only II the Lao
tians themselves ask for help.
The three Princes took an.
other day off today while their
representatives worked on de-
tails.
The working committee also
discussed problems connected
with formation of a national
union government-the major
aim Of the meeting. This Gov
eminent would take Laos seat
at the 14-nation conference in
Geneva and try to speed up
the solution to the stalemate
in Laos.
Highly placed neutralist
sources said Prince Souvanna,
who hopes to head Laos fu-
ture government, will be glad
to accept Gen. Phoumi" into
his cabinet.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Gruff Premier Ikedo
MeIIows With Age

TOKYO, June 81 (AP)-
Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda.
now visiting the United States,
is a conservative economic
authority who once had a repu-
tation as q free-spending and
somewhat arrogant playboy.
Long criticized as gruff and
tactless, Mr.. Ikeda overcame
both physical and political ad-
verSities in making his way to
the top of Japan's government.
With the years, he has become
genial and conciliatory.
He's breaking precedent in
taking his wife, Mrs. Mitsue
Ikeda. on his 12-day business
trip to the United States and
Canada.
Appropriate Tribute
But that seems an appropri-
ate tribute to the pleasant,
sturdy woman to whom the 61-
year-old Premier says Il owe
more than half Of what I am"
Mrs. Ikeda, now 40, nursed
him to health and encouraged
him to keep going after seri-
Gus, prolonged skin disease
halted his career in young
manhood.
Mr.. Ikeda was born near
Hiroshima, the youngest son
of a sake (rice wine) brewer.
He made his playboy reputa-
ton at Kyoto Imperial Univer-
sity and then, in the manner
of wealthy youths Of the time,
became a Finance Ministry
official.
Shortly afterward, the future
Prime Minister was stricken
with pemphigus, an inflamma-
tory skin disease which forced
him to quit work and, in his
words. turned life into q living
hell. His first wife, the daugh-
ter Of a count, died while Mr..
Ikeda was bedridden.
In Agony 4 Years
For more than four years.
Mr.. Ikeda says, he was in
agony from severe itching all
over his heavily bandaged
body.
Then he met MitSue. the
daughter of a country doctor
sent to attend him. She was q
pillar Of strength, reading to
him, singing songs and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ikeda. rekin-
ding his desire to live. Mr.. Ikeda
feels a turning point in his
recovery came with a pilgrim
age to a Buddhist temple. To
this day he says Buddhist
prayers daily.
He married MitSue after re-
gaining his health and re-
turned to government service.
Discouraging times followed,
for he had lost valuable years
in his climb up the official
ladder.
Mr.. Ikeda spent World War
II as q tax office official-low
enough to escape policy re-
sponsibility but high enough
to become an expert ~ imam

Politicians at Play

Comic relief In a time of crisis often
serves a good purpose-providing a
safety valve for emotions, distracting
attention and interrupting the hand
wringing. In recent days, our friends
OF both political parties have been out
doing each other in viewing with alarm
the lamented Cuban adventure and
pledging an iron-clad unity Let it be
said that neither the viewing nor the
pledges are out of place, but it is some
how refreshing to have attention
diverted to a powder-puff tempest over
an administration memorandum (at the
Sub-cabinet leveD imploring Govern
ment publicity officers to make more
frequent and prominent mention of
President Kennedy land his personal
interest in, and compassion with, the
problems which face the Nation"
AS memorandums go, this one is
probably no more naive or necessary
than most. 1t is doubtful If the press,
for example, is apt to overlook Mr.. Ken
nedy-or that Mr.. Kennedy himself has
any such fear. If anything. the indig-
nant proteStations of Battle Line,
Republican National Committee publica-
ton, seem even more naive in fact,
to point where we hope they at least
have cheek. It all sounds like
something that has happened before,
and many times, even as the cast of
characters has changed.

Don't Protect Speeders

According to the 1861 Travellers
Book Of Street and Highway Accident
data, speeders killed nearly 1000
persons and injured more than million
on the public highways last year. These
reckless drivers accounted for more than
third Of all the deaths resulting from
automobile crashes during the year.
Highway safety experts believe the toll
from speeding would have been con-
siderably higher-aS 1t was in 1859
but for the spreading use by police of
radar to catch the driver who cannot
resist the urge to step on the gas, re-
gardless of speed laws and common
sense. We commend the District Com
missioners, therefore, for banning in
Washington buzzer device designed
to warn a motorist when he approaches
a radar installation.
Such warning device would be of
value only to the driver who is exceed
ing the posted speed limits. It is of no
concern to the driver who is obeying
the law whether he is in a .radar zone
or not. 1t would be manifestly absurd,
therefore, for the Commissioners-or
any other officials interested in highway
Safety-to approve the use of any
gadget intended to circumvent radar as
an aid in nabbing potential killers who
are willing to risk their own lives as
well as the lives of others by making
raceway of streets and highways.
