Billy Welu, of the AMF staff or
champions, begins fOur-part SER
les tomorrow offering suggestions
to improve your bowling.
Billy is high on the list of all
time great bowlers. He won the
1859 BPAA National All Star,
captained the great Falstaff bowl
ing team to the 1860 National
team title, and was recently named
to the 1861 All-America first team.
Besides his bowling prowess,
which is reflected in dozen other
championship titles, this foot 4
Texan has been hailed for the
scientific study he has made of his
own game. He has become as
smooth and picture-like as any
bowler the country has ever
known
His accomplishments and h i S
analytical approach to the game
qualify him as the man capable of
handling any bowling problem. He
tours extensively with free bowl
ing clinics, and has helped thou
sands of bowlers to improve their
game.

From the December Business REVIEW
Recovery in appliances Lacks Vigor

What does it take to put the
mood? That is the question retail
ers in general and appliance deal
ers in particular have been asking
for very long time. Like some
other observers, dealers in appli-
ance white goods and cnsumer
electronics like television, radio,
and stereo see convincing evidence
of recovery in various sectors of
the economy. But, SO far, they see
only mild improvement in their
own lines.
Christmas could provide t h e
stimulus needed to sell these So
called big ticket items And that
is what SO many appliance dealers
are counting on now to boost this
years volume above a rather poor
| 1860.
Demand called spOtty
One words pott ty-best de-
scribes the buying in re S t
noted by appliance dealers with
whom we talked in metropolitan
areas of the Philadelphia Federal
Reserve District They tell us this
is the overall picture applying
about equally to both utility and
entertainment items.
In white goods lines, refrigera-
tion seemed to hold the spotlight
for a while during warm weather
But this past summer was not a
particularly good one for air-con-
ditiOning equipment because the
longest heat wave came too late
in the season. Then, washers and
dryers became 'hot items, but
only temporarily. Early fa1 |
brought a short-lived revival of
interest in television and stereo as
people returned from vacation and
moved indoors to pursue their rec
reational activities. Thus, no sim
gle area of the appliance or con-
sumer electronics fields has yet
experienced the measure of sus-
tanned Improvement that dealers
feel they should be getting.
A little help from hOmebuilding
Dealers concede that some ap-
with the construction and sale of
new houses. But this volume has
been less in 1861 than in some
other years. They say this differ
ence does not hinge so much on
the amount of activity in this
years housing market as on the
increasing number of built-in ap-
pliances builders are installing.
Manufacturers and some of the
larger distributors of appliances
seem to have benefited from this
business at the expense of dealers
who handle mainly free-standing
units like ranges, refrigerators,
and even clothes washers and dry
ers. Some of the entertainment
items offered by most appliance
dealers would appear to owe part
of their sales increase to new
housing. This is particularly true
of portable television and radio
sets, so useful and, in fact, re-
garded as almost a necessity in
the ever-popular rumpus room.
More dependence on the replace
ment Market
In both appliances and black
and-white television, the replace
ment market is increasingly re-
garded as the main source of de-
mand So-called wear outs" from
the heavy sales volume in the early

cases they were experienced early
this year and were largely re-
Stricted to areas where employ
ment problems had been most "a
cute during the recession. T e
feeling most widely expressed was
that collections required less eff
fort than a year ago. Those who
noted some Improvement in recent
months-and they were in the ma
jority-were inclined to credit i'm
proved economic conditions and to
a lesser extent the exercise of
greater care in writing INSTALL
ment paper.
Holiday season looks promising
Most dealers think appliance,
television, and stereo sales will
improve as we get deeper into the
Christmas buying season. They
base their expectations on a better
economic climate this year. I'm
presSions gained from early shop
pers suggest a somewhat greater
willingness to spend, a h u g h
none of them has lost that value
consciousness so apparent all year.
Dealers note that entertainment
lines already are receiving more
attention than at this time last
year, and some say that white
goods, too, could play a larger role
in holiday sales than in the 1860
season.

THE CURATE'S FRIEND

SYDNEY (AP) - What is a GU
rates friend?
A columnist of the sydney
Morning Herald asked the ques-
ton after a curate's friend was
reported sold at auction. 1t wasn't
mentioned in dictionaries, an
even the Museum of Applied Arts
did not know
The answer came from readers
Including clergymen:
The curate's friend is an an
tique three-tiered cake stand
In the good old days it would
stand by the curate's chair at
afternoon tea parties. He could
help himself unObtrusively to the
goodies.
His stipend was minute, and the
friend was important to his

scientifically controlled boost,
respond we'll to part-time hospitali-
Zation.
Superior for Some
For many it has been found the
part-time attention is superior to
! full-time treatment in a mental
| Hospital, because a patient is not
/ isolated from the world. In many
cases neighbors do not even know
that man or a woman who moves
among them is undergoing any
sort of treatment.
The day hospital has another
virtue much appreciated by the
ministry of health. The operating
cost per patient per day is about
one third that of the cost in a
full-time mental hospital. Under
the British National Health Ser
vice, of course, the patient pays
nothing.
The notion that many persons
who are mentally i'll can be treated
more effectively if they are not
taken away from their homes was
first urged energetically here by
DR.. Joshua Bierer, psychiatrist
who came to Britain from Austria
in 1888
He got support to open the first
day hospital in 1916. Today, some
daytime-only operations are de-
partments of full-time mental hos
pitals and some function on their
own.
There also is no set pattern of
ton has developed.
Specialize i'm Aged
One day hospital in Oxford, for
instance, receives only aged pa
tients. 1t has been found that in
many cases mental disorders of the
aged have such simple causes as
malnutrition. A couple of proper
meals a day have swept cobwebs
out of the mind 1t was found, also,
that day hospitals are especially
suitable for some old persons be-
cause in their families there is no
one at home by day to feed them
and keep them company.
The care in day hospitals is
usually precisely what would be
given in full-time mental hospitals
There is shock treatment, and en-
phasis on gentle occupations in
little groups. Patients have discus
sion programs. They paint, hear
music and produce amateur plays.
The social aspects are organ
lied so successfully in some day
hospitals that persons who have
been discharged as cured come
back occasionally to meet friends
and to continue old arguments.
Perhaps the greatest need of
mental patients is companionship,"
said a Health Ministry official,
"and the day hospital provides it."
1.-THE aim is to keep as many
people as independent as possible
We keep our patients in touch
with the community, instead of
shutting them away from it. We
abolish the abandon hope men
tality"

Politics.:
Nixon Again

Former Vice President Nixon
said last week he would decide
this month whether to run for
Governor of California next
year.
Richard M. Nixon has been out
of public office for 226 days and
the quiet Of private life and lack
of a readily available forum for
speaking out on national and in
ternational affairs repeatedly is
beginning to bother him.
But, if the professional political
experts are correct, this situation
is likely to change by the end of
the month.
The betting is heavy that the
former Vice President will decide
to seek the Republican guberna-
torial nomination in California
next year.
Certainly, the advice of friendly
G. o. P. officials in his home
State, in Washington and else
where is almost unanimous that
he make the race.
They see him an easy winner
over Democratic Gov. Edmund
(Pat) Brown and big help in the
battle for more Republican Con-
gressmen from the Golden State.
Under the new reapportionment
based on it's population increase,
California gains eight House seats
in 1862 for a total of 38.
While Mr.. Nixon was rather
determined not to run month or

New Demand

Instead of meeting the United
States half way, however, the So
Wet Union countered with a new
demand, calling for a three-man
board, representing the Soviet Un-
ion. the West, and the neutrals,
to administer the test-ban system,
rather than single administra-
tor.
This so-called "troika" would
have to act unanimously, giving
the Russians a veto in the admin
istration, something absolutely
unacceptable to the West.
This was a radical change in
Soviet policy for in June, 1860,
the Soviet side said: 1T will al
ways be possible to discover in the
world a person acceptable to both
sides for nomination for the post
as administrator"
On June 4 at Vienna, Premier
Khrushchev nded President
Kennedy an aide-memoire on nu-
clear testing which indicated
more than ever the Soviet reluc-
tance to join in a treaty, except
on it's "troika" terms. Mr.. Khru-
shchev proposed that the whole
nuclear test ban talks be merged
Evening star., 1961-09-03
A Compromise

First, on Tuesday the joint Sen
ate-HouSe conferees, meeting to
iron out the differences IN their
separate foreign aid bills, voted
compromise which ruled out
Treasury borrowing and upheld
the traditional method of annual
congressional appropriations. The
two houses quickly approved.
This defeat for President Ken
nedy was softened by language in
the joint conference report which
commits the United States to
the new long-range development
loan program in terms stronger
than those employed for the
Marshall Plan. After pointing
out that the actual funds are to be
appropriated annually, the Sen
ate-House conference declared:
1T is understood that the con-
ferees regard the language in the
bill as authority for the EXecu-
tive to make commitments which
will be honored by Congress unless
there is evidence of obvious bad
management or the other country
has failed to meet it's RESPONSE
bilities."
Mr.. Kennedy did not get all he
asked-far from it-but he termed
the compromise wholly salts
factory He urged Congress to
appropriate the funds it had au-
thorized because any cut would
diminish by that much our ability
to do the job"
The administration originally
had requested $4,762, 5000 for
this year and a total of $8.8 bill

instance, was one Of anger, fear
and despair. Several leaders such
as Nasser and Nehru openly criti-
cized the Russian action, and 9TH
ers were sure to Join in the criti-
cism later.
BY not reSuming tests itself, the
United States found itself in an
excellent position from which to
launch a propaganda attack on
the Soviet Union. The General
Assembly convenes on September
10, and the United States should
be able to win support from the
Asian-African bloc if it chooses
to lead a fight against nuclear
testing.
Observers in Washington, how
ever, while overjoyed by the prop
aganda advantage, wondered why

so ago, it is said that he is now
just about decided to do so.
OF course, one of the main con-
siderations for him is the effect
such a move might have on his
plans for the White House. One
big question is this: Would it
mean deferring his next try for
the presidency to 1868?
Conceding a Nixon victory in
the gubernatorial race, some ex-
perts see him in an advantageous
position. Granted that he will
have to declare he will not cam
paign for the presidency in 1864,
he won't have to go further-as
far, for example, as Gen. Sherman
went. Thus, the door could be
left open for a genuine draft.
With New York Gov. Rookie
feller, on the liberal side, and
Senator Goldwater of Arizona,
as the conservative spokesman,
fighting for the big prize, the
chances are considered good that
the convention would turn to Mr..
Nixon, the Eisenhower mod
crate" (The latest public opinion
poll shows the Californian well
out in front of both Gov. Rookie
feller and Senator Goldwater as
G. o. P. presidential nominee in
1964.)
Evening star., 1961-09-03
The Total Figures

These reductions were fairly
heavy, but not unexpected. The
total approved was still greater
than Congress voted for foreign
aid in President Eisenhower's last
year in office.
But on Friday Mr.. Kennedy's
worst fears were substantiated.
The House subcommittee slashed
this years measure by 1896 mil
lion-to $33 billion. OF the cut,
$400 million came out of the mill
tary assistance program. Mr..
PaSSman's elated comment: '"This
is a great day for the taxpayers.
The full Appropriations Com
mittee quickly approved the cut
back-ironically, on the day the
Russians announced their plan to
resume nuclear tests and to build
Superbomb having the explosive
power of 100 million tons of TINT.
The House does not very often
reject the recommendations of it's
Appropriations Committee. This
may be one instance in which
enough congressman will feel that
the stakes are so high that they
must vote to restore a large por-
ton, if not all, of the cuts.
Evening star., 1961-09-03

Certainly, the pressure from the
Executive Branch will be ex-
tremely heavy for a reversal of
the committees action. Former
President eisenhower jumped
right in to back the Kennedy ad-
ministration. Asserting that he
is "gravely concerned" Mr.. Eisen-
hover said:
"These SlaShes are incompre-
hensible to me, especially in view
of present world tensions"
What the final congressional
appropriation will be is a matter
of conjecture, Of course. It is
hardly likely that the full 1896
million reduction will stand, how
ever. The Senate is likely to vote
all, or nearly all, the money au-
thorized. Then, if the usual takes
place, the Senate House conferees
will "split the difference" A con-
servatively optimistic view, there
fore, is that the final cut will not
be more than $500 million and
probably will be less.
Evening star., 1961-09-03

Congress last week approved
a foreign aid bill which included
an authorization for a prece-
dent5setting five-year develop
ment loan program to be fl
nanced by annual .apprOpria-
tiOnS. But the House ApprOpria-
tiOns Committee proceeded to
cut nearly $500 million from the
total measure.
The House on Wednesday
defeated the final effort of the
year to push through school
construction legislation.
The Administrations chief rea-
son, obvious if not admitted, for
its demand for permission to bor-
row directly from the Treasury
the billions needed to finance a
long-term development loan pro-
gram for struggling nations was
this:
If it could go to the Treasury
it would not have to run the
hostile gauntlet of the House Ap-
preparations Subcommittee on for
eign aid, led by Representative
Otto Passman Of Louisiana and
the parent committee dominated
by Chairman Clarence Cannon of
Missouri.
Mr. Cannon is tight-fisted man.
Mr.. Passman is perhaps more so
and is regarded as a bitter foe of
the whole idea of foreign aid.
1t is thus understandable that
the events of the last few days
have left administration leaders
stunned and angry.

Two Inquiries

Meanwhile, Congress went on
investigating as it edged closer to
adjournment.
The Mcclellan Committee con-
tinued looking into an intricate
network of gambling services last
week and the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee summoned De-
fense Secretary McNamara to a
hearing on Wednesday to explain
the policies of the Pentagon in
connection with statements by
military personnel.
Chairman Russell indicated that
the Armed Services group would
decide at that time whether to
investigate charges, sparked by
Senator Thurmond, Democrats of
South Carolina, that high-ranking
generals and admirals have been
gagged" in their attempts to
make anti Communist speeches.

Background

In 1854, when both the United
States and the Soviet Union were
testing hydrogen bombs, a tre-
mendous increase in the amount
OF radioactive particles in the air
was noted by scientists who feared
that this "fallout" could cause
cancer now and serious genetic
mutations in future generations.
Speaking for the uncomrnitted
peoples of Asia and Africa, Pre-
mier Nehru asked for a stand
still agreement" on nuclear tests
in 1854, and in 1857, he appealed
to the great leaders, more espe-
cially Of America and Russia E.
to stop all nuclear test explosions
and thus to show the world that
they are determined to end this
menace, and to proceed also to
bring about effective disarma-
ment."
Early in 1858, President Eisen-
hover proposed to Marshal Bull
ganin. then Soviet Premier, that
technical conference be held on
the technical questions surround
ing a test ban.
Mr.. Bulganin agreed and in
July and August a conference of
experts from eight countries met
in Geneva and decided that test
ban was technically feasible.

The Man Who Took the Lid Off.

sion of the conference when the
announcement was made in Mos

The Soviet Union did not an
nounce when it planned to re-
sumo testing, but the West was
prepared fully for Fridays explo-
sion. Some observers, in fact, ex-
pressed surprise that the Russians
waited as long as two days before
setting off the blast.
The Soviet Government gave
as it's reason the "ever-increaSing
aggressiveness of the NATO mill
tary bloc" but the excuse was so
weak that even Soviet citizens
were stunned by the sudden ac-
ton. The Soviet government was
telling the truth when it said,

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A New Stage in the Soviet Atom Bomb

The White House announced
Friday that the Soviet Union
had resumed the testing of
nuclear weapons by exploding a
device, estimated at about 100,-
900 tons of INT, in the atmOs-
phere over Soviet Central Asia.
This followed Wednesdays
announcement by the Soviet
Union that it was about to end
its three-year moratorium on
such testing, and was develop
ing weapons equal to 100 million
tons of INT.
For several years, Premier
Khrushchev has journeyed around
the world, expounding the theory
that communism will triumph
over capitalism without a war.
This policy of peaceful coexist-
ence" has won him many sup
porters on both sides of the Iron
Curtain, and especially in uncom-
mitted nations.
Only two months ago, Mr..
Khrushchev reaffirmed that the
Soviet Union is determinedly
pursuing the policy of peace, the
peaceful coexiStence of states
with different social systems,
policy of on-interference of some
states in the internal affairs of
other states, and one of striving
to come to an agreement . :.
on the banning of nuclear weap-
ons."
The Soviet moratorium on tests
first entered into with the
United States and Great Britain
in 1958-waS considered by some
as a concrete example of the So
Wet willingness to live side by
side with the West.
Last weeks grim announcement
from Moscow, however, not only
increased the dangers of radio
active fallout. but added more fuel
to the tensions of the world, al
ready severely strained by the
Berlin crisis.
In combination with the Berlin
situation, the announcement cast
further doubt on Soviet peaceful
intentions, and led some observers
to state that Premier Khrushchev
had shelved his coexistence policy
for one bordering on war.

Some Advantages

In the implementation of this
strategy, Mr.. Nixon would, of
course, be spared the risky and
exhausting chore of engaging in
preferential primary contests.
Sitting in the Governors house
in Sacramento, Mr.. Nixon could
also decide in 1864 whether Presi-
dent Kennedy is ripe for defeat
or too tough to beat. If Mr.. Ken
nedy should have compiled a
brilliant record and be at the
peak of his popularity, Mr.. Nixon
could make Sherman-like state
ment, assert the Importance of
his remaining in his job as Gov
ernor, and make his next big push
in 1868 against an untried Demo-
crat.
Meanwhile, he would have the
forum he seeks for speaking out
on whatever issue interests him.

BRAZIL:
Uproor

JOaO GOuIart, Vice President
of Brazil, arrived in his native
land Friday to assume the presi-
dency, vacated August 25 by
Janos QuadrOs. Because Of Mr..
GouIart's .left-wing leanings, the
military opposed his assuming
the high position, and there was
a threat of a civil war last week.
The Brazilian Congress was try
ing to work out a compromise.
Brazil's full name is "Estados
Unidos do Brasil" or the United
States of Brazil" The first two
words were added in 1889 after
Brazil became a republic through
a bloodless revolution. and adopted
many of the political institutions
of its great neighbor to the north.
AS a result, Brazil has Presi-
dent, a Vice President and Con-
gress, but it also has the tradi-
tional Latin American malady Of
political instability. There have
been three different constitutions
since the birth of the republic.
There've been dictators (notably
Vargas, 1934-1945), and there've
been dictator prone military men
who have created almost as much
trouble.
This instability was never more
evident than in the events of the
last week. After President Quad
ros resigned-for no reason other
than an apparent case of politi-
cal responsibility - Vice Presi-
dent Goulart legally should have
been sworn in as President i'm
mediately.
Mr.. Goulart, however, is not
from the same political party as
Mr.. Quadros, and was considered
by many Brazilians much more
of a leftist than Mr.. Quadros.
While Mr.: Goulart was en- route
back to Brazil from Red China,
military leaders announced that
he would be unacceptable as
President. They said they were
trying to preserve the country'S
institutions.
The Congress also has been try
ing to preserve the institutions,
and in the light Of the military's
threat of civil war, it has pro-
