BY THOMAS COLLINS

Il went out to visit a re-
tirement village the other
day. I looked at the model
home in it. I wish I had seen
1t and could have moved into
It when I was a bride.
Everything has been care
fully thought out, and it is
very nice. You can eat and
sleep and sit. But as of now,
for me to live there would be
like living in luxury and
waiting for death. There isn't
room for a hobby. I couldn't
even put my sewing machine
in. And the flowers are al
ready planted. That wouldn't
thrill me, because a plant be-
longs to him who sows the
seed.
Keep it for brides. 1t wasn't
meant for me. :"
Thus speaks a lady in
Fresno, Calf, who would like
to point out to people that no
time of life is more exciting
than the Golden Years. Her
name: Mrs. Dulcie Brown.
Her excitement: The world
about her.
THE very act of waking up
in the morning." she says,
"can be a great adventure.
You can stretch and lie there
and laugh inwardly as you
realize you can take your own
sweet time about it, not get
up at all if you don't want to.
How many times in those
years when you were the
slave Of time did you long for
this day-the luxury of lying
in bed in the morning with
nothing at all that HAS to be
done TODAY? And if there
is you can always put it off
until tomorrow. :"

sure to get her to the doctor,
or a doctor to her. Chances
are she won't cooperate, but
persons who are i'll should
not be allowed to make a neg
ative decision.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I hope
my experience will save your
readers who suffer from
arthritis many hundreds of
dollars. For years I had pain
in one of my knees. I went to
a doctor once but didn't give
him a real chance to dag
nose my case, took aspirin
day in and day out, but I'd
get these severe attacks and
swelling three to four times
a year.
In desperation I got on the
quackery bandwagon. I must
have spent hundreds on
vibrators, on diet fads, on
electrical gadgets, on copper
jewelry. At last I went to a
doctor who specialized in
rheumatic diseases. He took a
uric acid blood test, found I
have the gout, gave me medi-
cine to take and I feel like a
new person. I know doctors
can't help everybody who
suffers from arthritis, but
isn't it silly to spend money
and suffer needlessly by TAX
ing quack "cures"?-Mrs. D.
ONE ESTIMATE is that
Americans spend a quarter of
a billion dollars annually on
fraudulent "cures." They sub
NIT to this colossal swindle
in hopes that non doctors
know more about arthritis
than MDs who are honest
enough to say: "I'll try to
help. but can't promise a
cure"
That's the tipoff. When
anyone promises a "cure" or
says he has a secret for
mula." it's time to become
suspicious. And don't be
taken in by written testi-
monials. They are easy to
get.

How to

YOURSELF
AiIinq Mother q Problem
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHh

People get sick. They may
make others sick. And the
family hearth becomes a
daily battlefield. Sometimes
the difficulty can be reme-
died. In many cases it re-
mains to plague the hus-
bands or wives, the sons or
daughters. For example, con-
slider the following letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have a suspicion that my
mother is insane. I have a
girl friend whom she hates
like poison. I am 20 years old
and she has repeatedly
ordered me not to see this
girl. However, I have not
obeyed her. She will fire.
quently fly into Mysteries.
She will scream, kick things,
cry, and has also threatened
to kill my girl friend. She has
accused her of things you
could not print.
My father is old, almost 10,
My mother is only in her
middle forties. Maybe she
misses a husband of her own
age. Maybe she isn't salts
fled. I think she would kill
someone if I got married.
There is one thing I
can't understand. I have two
brothers. Why does she
choose me? She wants me to
quit going with this girl and
stay home with her. She told
me that would make her very
happy. But I am fond of this
girl and can't give her up.
Besides it isn't that she hates
my girl so much; she would
hate any girl that would take
me away from her. What am
I supposed to do? Do you
think the trouble might be

used to be this way until
lately.-Mr. x.
WHATEVER is the cause,

sake, I hope the cause is the

China Faces
Supply Problem

@. How can we expect India
to stand up against Red China
when 1t was all the United
States. with U. N. support, could
do to fight that country to
a draw in Korea?
A. Well, you have a different
situation entirely. The Chinese
have got a very long supply
line over very high mountain
passes and If they get out into
the plains, the Indians can
meet them with armor and
with heavy weapons. 1t is 60
ing to be very difficult for the
Chinese TO maintain very large
forces through those mountain
ranges.
q. Must the Red Chinese be
rolled back beyond the old
border, or are we prepared To
accept some kind Of a negoti-
ated settlement
A. That is a matter that
did not discuss. That is a mat
ter between the Indians and
the Chinese. There is a general
acceptance Of the Mcmahon
line by the Red Chinese. as
you will notice In their offer
Of a cease-fire. / don't believe
the Indians can possibly af.
ford TO bulge at all from that
line. There is a greater differ
ence OF opinion in the Ladakh
area. II is an almost uninhab-
tied area. II has never been as
clearly defined as the Mcmahon
line. and might be subject tc

Indian officials moved into
Bomdila today and started set
ting up civil administrative Of
fees in areas vacated by Com
munist Chinese soldiers.
Bomdila, 100 miles north of
here, fell to the Chinese on
November IS In their push

and into Northeast India.
Indian troops remained at
the positions they held when
the Chinese imposed their
cease-fire November %, but P.
N. Ljthra, commissioner for the

about 80 civilian officials en-
tered the town and messaged
back confirmation that the

Accept the Fact
OF Chinese Threat

q. Does that mean that the
lonalignment policy in India is
easing out the window?
A. No, the word ''non-align-
ment" is one that they still
use. However, they have &C
cepted the fact that the threat
10 their very existence and
their way of life comes from
the Chinese Communists. On
the other hand, they do not
want to break with Moscow.
But they are looking to the
United Kingdom and the
United States for military as
sistance.
@. You think the other ma
tons Of Southeast Asia like
Cam bodia and Burma will
learn anything from midas
experience?
A. I think they will learn
more than they are willing To
express. I certainly think that
countries that are under the
possibility of Communist at
tack will be rather guarded ir

rected at them. But, certainly
what they feel inside mus
have been quite a rude shock
q. Governor, we understand
that KrishnS Menon, although
he is officially out of the gov
eminent, is still living in the
Prime Minister'S area In New
Delhi.
A. I did not see him. am
satisfied that in all probability
he will not be given another
post of Importance in the gov
eminent.
U. But doesn't his influence
linger?
A. 1 did not see any evidence
of it. because the speeches of
Mr.. Nehru were vigorous and
determined, and quite different
from the attitude Mr.. Menon
had previously adopted.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-16

think, aside from South Wet
Nam and Laos, the critical sit
uation is the subcontinent
with over 500 million people In
India and Pakistan. 1t is essen
tial to the defense of the free
world that it should be strong
militarily, economically and po-
litically. The area in which
China is apt to have aggressive
intentions in the long run is
the rice bowl of Southeast Asia,
Burma, Thailand and South
Wet Nam. This area is under
populated, whereas India is
overpopulated, and so is China.
This area has a surplus of food.
1t could sustain a much larger
population and very much in
crease its food production. I
cannot help but believe that
one Of the reasons why the Red
Chinese have attacked India is
to weaken India before their
aggressive designs on Southeast
Asia find expression. In the
long run, Southeast Asia is the
most lucrative area for Com
munist Chinese expansion.
@. You are reported to be
very disappointed about devel-
opments in Laos since the for
nation of the neutralist coali-
ton government last June.
Why?
A. Well, in the first place,
the North Wet Namese have
not taken out all of their
troops. Some of them still re-
main. The purpose of their re-
naming is to strengthen the
Pathet Lao which is Commu-
mist controlled. The Pathet Lao
themselves are showing no dis
position to carry out their
agreement to support Prince
Souvanna Phouma and his gov
eminent. They are putting ev-
cry obstacle in the way Of the
unification of the country and
the indignation of their armed
forces.
In the meantime, Souvanna
Phouma is doing everything he
can, and he has gained the sup
port Of Gen. Phoumi, who rep
resents the conservative group.

Chances Brighter
For Koshmir Accord

@. Is there a possibility of
an agreement between India
and Pakistan on Kashmir2
A. There is probably a better
chance now than there ever
has been. 1t is an extremely
difficult situation to settle be-
cause of the emotions that are
involved. 1t is not a real estate
transaction. The Indians are
satisfied with the present
cease-fire line and are willing
to settle on that basis. That
would be utterly unsatisfactory
TO the Pakistanis. There are
many people in India who are
beginning now to think their
problems with Pakistan over
Kashmir should be settled.
From the Pakistan side, I
found that the Kashmir set
tlement was the most impor-
tant subject in their whole
foreign policy. They were very
bitter against the United
States and the United King
dom for giving military aid
to India until the Kashmir
issue was settled. They are
very anxious 10 settle II.
think everyone feels that II
the Kashmir question is set
tied the military strength OF
both countries can be used 10
mutual advantage, rather than
against each other.
II is going TO be difficult
for the United States and the
United Kingdom 10 give mill
tary aid both 10 Pakistan and
10 India, two Of our frienos,
II a considerable part OF II is
used 10 defend against each
other Therefore, some agree
ment must be reached 10 dis
engage the forces, and the
easiest way 10 do that would be
by a settlement OF Kashmir.
Q. Must there be some agree
ment before we can give large
scale aid?
A. We are going ahead now
with emergency aid. But before
you get into a long-term year
program, / would hope that
progress could be made towards
a settlement so that we could

what we have been giving
them economically.
@. Hundreds of millions, or
what?
A. I would not want to put
a figure on it. There are plans
in preparation by the Indian
staff. both in the army and
the air force. 1t will be a very
large program.
@. Should we have a mill
tary pact with India?
A. There has been no Sug-
gestion and no discussion of
that. We already have an un-
derstanding with India that
the weapons that we are send
ing will be used against the
Communists and will not be
used against Pakistan. 1t is
the normal agreement that we
have with all countries to
whom we give military assist
ance. But If you mean by mill
tary pact, a military defense
agreement of the kind that we
have in NATO countries
@. I was thinking of SEATO.
A. There is no need for that
I think it is better from oul
standpoint to let India develop
her own foreign policy. II In
dia would break with the So.
Wet Union, there would bt
nothing gained. 1t would have
two adverse effects. One, II
would tend to bring Moscow
closer together with Peking
and the other is it would deny
India very large economic as
sistance which she has OBJ
tanned from the Soviet Union.
Q. What is the present value
of the Southeast Asia pact
with the Philippines, Thailand,
Pakistan and the other coun-
tires involved?
A. Well, there is a very con-
siderable morale value in terms
Of developing in these coun-
tries a feeling of confidence,
that they have allies ready
to stand up with them.
I am confirmed in my
opinion that it is of value be-
cause in Geneva the loudest
and most violent words we're
used by the Chinese against
SEATO. AS I have learned
from my experience in dealing
with the Communists, the very
things that they shout the
loudest against are the very
things that we ought to pro-
tect.

A. A year ago it looked as II
the Wet Cong, the Communist
guerrillaS, were winning the
war. Now I would say that the
initiative is in the hands of the
South Wet Namese. Although 1t
is going to be a long pull, I
think we have every reason to
believe that the South Wet Ma
mese are beginning to win the
war.
@. What is our outlook in
Asia2 Where do we stand?
A. The Asian countries, with
some notable exceptions, are
relatively underdeveloped. Most
of them have Just come
out of colonial status, and they
need a great deal of help in de-
veloping a strong social and
economic life. I do believe prog
resS has been made. Among the
most stable has been India,
both in terms of developing
democracy and a sound econom-
ic program. That may be one of
the reasons why the Chinese
have attacked India.
In Europe. the Marshall Plan
succeeded beyond anybody's
fondeSt hopes, and we can have
similar success, I believe, in the
Far East. 1t is more complicated.
But when you see the success
that has been made in Japan
and in Taiwan, and you see the
collapse in China of the most
fundamental of all production,
namely. food, I think we have
every reason to be confident.
If we continue the kind of lead
ership which we are giving, and
rally the industrial countries Of
Europe and Japan to be part
ners in this enterprise, then we
can hope for strengthening Of
the cause of freedom IN Asia.

Indian Awakening Gain for West

Following Is the transcript
OF an interuietD NTH AvereH
Hurrimdn, Assistant Secre-
tdry OF State for Far Eastern
Affairs:
@. Gov. Hartman, does the
Communist Chinese invasion Of
India represent a gain or a loss
for our side in the "cold war"p
A. Well, I don't think that
you can talk in terms Of gains
or losses. I think, however,
that this does bring home to
the Indians and certain others
who had high hopes that the
Chinese Communists were pre-
pared to live In peace with
their neighbors that these
hopes will be shattered. They
will be more realistic and they
will also undertake to defend
themselves in the future. There
wasn't q voice in India which
didn't accept the Chinese Com
munist threat as a long-range
threat.
Q. That would be a gain,
then, wouldn't 1t, Governor
A. That would certainly be
a definite gain in the sense
that a realization Of the ag-
gressive intentions of the Chi
nese is a gain.
@. Is there a possibility that
Prime Minister Nehru may be
passing from the picture in
the near future2
A. His health seemed to be
good, and he seems to have
gotten over his illness. AL
though he is older. he seems
to have vigor and determine
ton and there is no indica-
ton that there would be an
early departure from govern
ment leadership. There is a
younger group that is coming
along in the government, and
they have a different view of
things as I saw it than had
been the previous policy. /
