Dirksen forces are known to
take the possibility seriously,
although most party profess

The possible challenger was

Camera Co. today and an aide
said he could not comment on
the matter.
In Position to Run
From reliable sources. how
ever. it was learned that Mr..
Percy, who became one Of the
youngest corporation preSi-
dents in the country at Bell
& Howell a decade ago, has
told friends he is now in a
financial position, and has the
desire, to devote more time to
public affairs.
Potential financial and po-
litical supporters have been
contacted on their attitude to-
ward his challenging Senator
Dirksen.
The reaction repeatedly has
been mixed, and it is not known
whether Mr.. Percy has made g
decision on the race.
The battle between the indus
trialiSt, who is identified with
the liberal wings of the G. o. P
and Senator Dirksen, a one
time isolationist and conserv-
ative who later became former
President Eisenhower's chiei
legislative agent, would be 9
humdinger if it develops.
But most Illinois politicians
appeared skeptical today that
it will.

I was entranced the other
day listening to a Superlative
choral group. Such har-
mony, such coordination,
such a restful blending Of
voices!
AS I closed my eyes I
thought of this harmony in
terms of a room. For a quiet
mood there is nothing like
"close harmony" Take one
color and use it in all its
various tones. You, as the
conductor, must see that no
one color outSingS the other.
The effect can be restfully
original or deadly monot-
onouS, depending on your
taste for the dramatic.
Greens and blues or the
citrus colors, from yellow to
orange, work out success
fully in a "close harmony"
room. A bowl of flowers or
a large-scale colorful paint
ing may be allowed to strike
its own color chord to en-
phasize the gentle harmony
of the rest of the room.
AS any choir master can
tell you, close harmony (un-
less you're a ''natural'O takes
lot of practice. So if you do
plan a room in this man
ner. try to keep the score
simple. Don't get symphonic
ideas that won't work out.
And do take time to picture
your room as a whole.
Everybody should try a "close
harmony" room once Just
to prove you can do it!

Any of you who have had

place in the attitudes of
teen-agers. All of q sudden
your teen-age son begins

Suddenly your teen age

She exaggerates every defect
In good looks she may have

mirror for hours, working
with her hair and

Splendid Idea
I think the idea Of a
mother and daughter work
ing together to improve ap-
pearance is a splendid one.
In this case the mother does
not need to lose weight but
she can count her calories
just the same; she and her
daughter can exercise to-
gether and work to improve
posture, hair and skin.
When a child is as young
as IL and has a lot Of weight
to lose, I think it is q wise
idea to have the family ply
sician supervise the project.

I had an amusing and in
telligent letter from the
mother of a 12-year-old
daughter the other day. The
mother said:
MY daughter has a large
bone structure, is 4 feet II
inches tall and weighs from
140 to las pounds. She is in
good health, is the towns
biggest tomboy and has no
cares about her weight. AS q
meddling mother, I would
like to see her lose some
weight before she finds that
boys are good for something
beside football.
THE doctor figures she is
about 25 pounds overweight.
I am wondering If she could
follow the Marathon with
me? I can't stand a weight
, loss myself, just some re-
arrangement Of it. Perhaps If
mother and daughter worked
together she would gradually
lose weight"
No Mistake
Evidently this mother is
not going to make the mis-
take so many do, namely,
not bothering about her
child's overweight until she
reaches the age when it is
a handicap to her.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Aug. &c (AP). - The United

/ In the Assembly's 18th an

not introduce the usual reSo-

ton of the question for the

Informed diplomats said the
United States delegation ad-
vised others that to do so would
be useless because the resolu-
ton could not get the simple
majority needed for adoption.
But they added the United
States was still dead set against
substituting Communists for
Chinese Nationalist in China's
Assembly seat and probably
could forestall that, at least
this year.

Miller Sees Nixon
Running in 81

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. &c
(AP). - Republican national
chairman William E. Miller of
Lockport, N. Y. predicted to-
night that former Vice Presi-
dent Nixon would seek the gov
ernorship of California next
year.
Miller told newsmen before
attending a Wayne County Re-
publican committee picnic at
Pultneyville that lit is diff
cult for Nixon to maintain a
position of power in the IRE

forum from which to speak"
Il would like to see Nixon
run against Pat Brown if pure
| ly from a selfish point of view,"

Mr.. Nixon to be the strongest
possible candidate. Mr.. Brown
is the Democratic governor of
California.

has become known as a mora
forum resolution to keep the
Assembly from debating the
issue that year.
But last year that resolu-
ton, prompted by a Soviet re-
quest that the question of
Chinese representation go on
the agenda, passed by only
eight votes-42-34.
At one point, Nepal pro-
posed an amendment by which
the Assembly would "accede to"
rather than reject" the Soviet
request.
That amendment was de-
feated by only four votes-38-
"a. Among those that voted
against it or abStained, at
least four now are ready to
vote for it-Brazil, Pakistan,
Somalia and Tunisia.
That would make the vote
1886 in favor Of the amend
ment-and the Chinese queS-
ton then would be on the
agenda.
So instead of drafting a
moratorium doomed to defeat
the United States is studying
how to meet the issue head-on
when the Assembly takes it up.
Some diplomats hold that to
unSeat the Nationalist and
seat the Communists would
simply be a matter of refusing
to recognize the credentials of
the former and then recogniz-
ing the credentials of the lat
ter. They say that is a proce-
dural question that can be de-
cided by a simple majority
vote.
The informants said United
States delegates were talking
with others about the POSSIBLE
ity of having the Assembly de-
clare it an important question
to be decided only by a major
ity of two-thirdS of those vot-
ing.

The needs of the times
require a pioneer approach
to education that focuses on
creative ideas in teacher
training.
This was the view eX-
pressed by Sister Ritamary
of the Congregation Of the
Humility of Mary. as she ex-
planned the objectives of the
Sister Formation Conference,
which is an adjunct of the
National Catholic Educa-
tional Associations College
and University Department.
Sister Ritamary came to
Washington two months ago
to be assistant executive Sec
retary of the conference,
which was founded seven
years ago to improve the
quality Of Catholic educa-
ton through better sister,
teacher training.
I'VE teach the teachers"
she said in explaining the
conferences general "raiSon
d'etre" but cautioned. I'VE do
not want to impose patterns,
but want to stimulate re-
gional groups (of teaching
sisters to think out their
own plans and curriculum"
The conference, she ex-
planned. has no authority but
is "a pool of ideas" contrib
uted by members Of various
teaching sisterhoods meeting
together in six regional con-
ferences at first held annually
and now bi-annually all over
the country.

In addition the conference
publishes a quarterly bulletin,
edited by Sister Ritamary,
which feeds new ideas to its
1000 sister-teacher subScrib-
ers in the United States and
54 other countries, and con-
tinues the impetus of the
conference movement.
Sister Ritamary likened the
Sister Formation Conference
to the Teacher Education and
Professional Standards Com
mittee of the National Edu-
cation Association.
I'VE try to help the teach
ing sister to see her profess
sional dedication in the light
of and infused with her
religious dedication in the
sisterhoods," she explained.
This need becomes partic-
ularly acute in these days OF
the knowledge explosion, and
the need for adapting to new
types of urban communities
and a shifting population"
Sister also explained that
the formation movement
seeks also not just to keep
pace with the times but to
leap ahead of them with new
ideas, much as the founders
of the various sisterhoods a
century or more ago. Sisters
got into teaching girls long
before there was public edu-
cation" she said in recalling
the beginnings Of many of
the sisterhoods in France dur
ing the 18th century. 80 we

changing situation this vision
of what our founders would

venient entry to the South
hand. He had to cash the ace

But now East was sure to

/ get in with the king Of dia-
monds, and East had saved
enough clubs to defeat the
contract. Hence South's stin-
giness cost him the game.
Now see what happens If de-
clarer leads the 10 of trumps
from dummy for the second
round Of .trumps. He can let
this ride to force out Vests
queen. Back comes a club to
dummy's ace and declarer can
lead dummy's low trump to
draw trumpS with the ace and
jack.
South still has a trump left
after drawing trumps. He can
take a diamond finesse, get
back with his last trump and
take another diamond finesse
to develop his best side suit.
He loses one club, one trump
and one diamond, making the
game contract.
