GROMYKO
oIks With Allies
Are Called Useful

to Premier Khrushchev that
both Mr.. Kennedy and Mr..
Macmillan are ready for a.
meeting-but not on the basis
now proposed by Moscow. Mr..
Macmillan echoed Mr.. Ken
needy, the informants said, in
rejecting as a starting point for
talks the Soviet demands for
an immediate German peace
settlement, an end to the oc-
cupantion status of West Berlin
and the transfer of authority
over West Berlin's access routes
to East Germany'S Communist
regime.
Mr.. Macmillan warned Mr..
Gromyko that any aggressive
Communist action against West
Berlin or interference with AL
lied access would create grave
dangers, the informants added.
The two men agreed that East
and West must avert a shoot
ing war.
British Foreign Office Off
Gals said the Macmillan-Gro-
myko meeting produced moth
ing not covered in the earlier
United States-Soviet talks.
After the business meeting.
the Soviet diplomat attended
a two-hour dinner party with
Mr.. Macmillan and Lord Home
and their wives at the Foreign
Secretary'S residence. Mr..
Gromyko and Lord Home shook
hands for photographers three
times at the entrance. then
entered the building with arms
about each others shoulders.
Lord Home was expected to
win wholehearted approval of
the governments Berlin posi-
ton after the foreign affairs
debate today at the annual
conference of his party.
He told the 5000 Tory dele
gates gathered at Brighton that
freedom is under fire the
world overt happens that it
is in Berlin that the danger is
most acute"
If free men cannot combine
to defend an outpost of free
dom. it will not be long before
the flanks Of the main defenses
are turned and liberty is men
aced everywhere" Lord Home
declared.
More Work Ahead
He added that the whole
Western position in the world
would be damaged if the United
States. Britain and France
we're tricked or pressured into
taking a fatal backward step
in West Berlin.
Lord Home suggested that a
favorable factor in the Berlin
crisis had been achieved by
making the Vests determina-
ton clear to Mr.. Gromyko. but
he warned that much difficult
diplomatic work lies ahead be-
fore the fuse is removed from
the Berlin bomb.
"A negotiated settlement must
take account Of the Western
as we'll as the Soviet position"
he said. There must be some
give as we'll as take on the
Russian side"
Lord Home also he'd fast |
to the longtime Western de-
mand fer identification of Ger
many b. free elections but
conceded he could not predict |
when that would come about. |
THE German people are en-
titled to self-determination as !
much AS any other nation"
he declared. "Of course no one
suggests Identification could be
achieved by force. I do not |
know when peaceful political
means will bring it about. |
Equally we cannot deny them
that hope"

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Pre-Operutive Fear
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
had surgery three times in the
past five years. I am tense
and high strung person. I
get myself so worked up
when facing an operation
that my heart pumps so hard
I actually shake.
They gave me pills the
first time. I was too "dopey"
to worry. But the other two
times l wasn't prepared so
we'll with medicines, and
ended up in the operating
room shaking and crying. Ill
always be grateful to the first
surgeon for his humane in
tereSt and care. Mrs. o.,
North Carolina.
THESE DAYS the good
surgeon is more aware that
he must try to save his
patient unnecessary pre-op-
erative shock. Nervous pa
tientS (and who isn't nerv-
Gus before an operation0 do
not take anesthesia as well
as they might; and in some
cases fear has actually pro-
duced a mild state of shock
in some people.
I certainly agree with you,
Mrs. O., that pre-operative
sedation is an important part
of the entire operative pro-
cedure. In many cases, the
patient is put to sleep in the
ready room-even before he
Is wheeled into the operating
room. He doesn't get the
opportunity to be scared out
of his wits by seeing all the
machinery. cleaning scissors
and knives; and smelling dis
infectantS and trying to read
the eyes behind the masks Of
doctors and nurses. In fact,
many apprehensive patients
would rather face a masked
holdup man than a formid-
able looking surgeon within
reach of knife.
For example, I think it's
almost a rule that the ex-
ceedingly nervous patient
Nth an overactive thyroid
nd be given an aneSthetic
b re he enters the operat-
in room. Otherwise, extreme
fear might really make him a
bad operative risk. I see no
reason why this procedure
cannot be carried out in most
major operations.

Gardener Solves Mystery of the Missing Mari igolds
By Francis Stilley

NEW YORK R - As pumpkin head gardeners go, I just about went batty - trying to solve the mystery of the vanishing mari golds.
 It's goofy story, though when I tell it I get the impression people think it's me who's goofy. Here's what happened.
 I started some small marigolds in pots in the house. When they got about three inchess tall, transplanted them to the postage stamp-sized garden in front of my apartment.
 l basked in the warm glow of satisfaction, knowing that not only my marigolds but the petunias, zinniaS, cosmos, and pansies all were going to do well this year. After all, I put 100 pounds of peat moss, two bushels of humus and gallons of a super-duper liquid growth mi xture into my l. 100000 of an acre.
 A few days after transplant ing the small marigolds, I dis covered they were disappearing one by one. The peculiar part was that they had been snapped off cleanly at the stem about an inch above the ground.
 At first, thought perhaps stray boomerangs from neighbor chil- dren had done it. But this is a yo-yo year.
 Then while sitting on the front porch one night, I was sure I had the answer. Several stray cats threw a party in my garden, all but wrecking a fine clump of

WASHINGTON R - Nearly 12 per cent of the people in Iowa are 65 or older-the highest pro- portion for any state.
 The Census Bureau said today it counted 11.9 per cent of Iowa's population in the older age group during the 1860 census.
 Other states with high propor- tions of older residents included Missouri, 11.7 per cent; Nebras- ka, 11.6 per cent; New Hampshire, Vermont and Florida, 11.2 per cent each; Massachusetts, Ill, and Kansas and Maine, 11.0 each.

 This explanation didn't hold up either, unfortunately. The mari golds kept disappearing - but now, roots and all, without trace left.
 At dusk a few days ago came the astonishing revelation. While standing in front of the house, chatting with a neighbor lady who hadn't planted any marigolds in her garden, my eye happened to fall on by own botanical won derland.

dancing Of a less taxing role in

that her performance in Swan

sensation. That's exactly what
it was last night. Miss Fedi-
cheva's technique is nothing
short of brilliant and she pro-

quite likely that you never saw
the Odette-Odile role danced

1t is quite likely. also, that

Swan Lake" as is offered on
the stage in the Kirov version,
revised by Konstantin Sergeyev
from the original Petipa -Ivanov

packs a lot of dazzling enter

entertainment genius produced
a performing bear for a circus,
here have come up with i'm
pressive decor that includes

Even more impressive to any,
one who has been confronted
by countless performances of

the dance of the cygnets in the
