DEAR ABBY
She Thinks She's Grown Up?
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

She probably has had her
eyes burned by soap and has
never forgotten il. Get a
shampoo board and let her
lean back so that no water
or soap can run down her
face. Or buy one Of those
rubber. "brims" infants de-
partmenD to keep her face
dry. Good luck.

DEAR ABBY: Would it be
proper for a mother to go
down the aisle with her only
daughter and give her away
in marriage? She has no
brothers or uncles to give
her away, and her father
hasn't done a blooming thing
for her since she was born.
To be honest with you he
took off years ago. I don't
know where he is and I am
not about to hunt him up.
Thank you.
WIDOW"
Talk to your clergyman
about the giving away" part
Of the ceremony In your
church. Not all ceremonies
include it. And in some, It
is perfectly permissible for
a mother to 60 down the aisle
with her daughter. Or the
bride may 60 down alone.
Stop worrying. Let Abby
help you NTH that problem.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Isaac Newton's Case Recalled
By DR.. PETER }. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor tells me I have a stone
in the bladder that will have
to be crushed and removed
piecemeal. He says it is moth
ing to worry about. Is it
dangerous?-Mr. T.
WITH MODERN technique,
there is little danger to this
operation. 1t may interest
you to know that Sir Issac
Newton also suffered from
bladder stone. I have been
reading in the Journal Of the
American Medical Associa-
ton a short piece abstracted
from j. Murray's The Gold
Headed Cane Q828) in which
we find this interview:
ION our first interview, it
was pronounced that the ILL
ness of Sir Issac Newton
arose from stone in the blad-
der, and no hopes were given
for his recovery and yet, to
look upon the great philoso-
pher, though now in his 85th
year, he had the bloom and
colour Of a young man, had
never worn spectacles, nor
lost more than one tooth
during his whole life.
Besides being blessed with
a very happy and vigourouS
constitution. he had been
very temperate in his diet.
though we did not learn that
he had ever observed any
regimen.
He was of middle stature,
and at this time plump in
his person; had a very lively
and piercing eye, a comely
and gracious aspect, and a
fine head of hair, as white as
silver, without any badness,
and when his peruke was off.
he had truly a most vener-
able appearance.
"On inquiry, we found,
that for some years before
his present illness, he had
suffered so much from the
same disorder, that he had
put down his chariot, and
had gone out always in a
chair; had left off dining
abroad, or with much COM
pany at home. He ate little
flesh; lived chiefly upon
broth. vegetables, and fruit,
of which latter he always
partook very heartily"
From letters readers send
me. I find people are getting
sick and tired of hearing SO
many "don'ts" when they
go to their doctor. AS one
man said: Whenever ]
leave my doctors office. my
conscience Is heavy. I have
never left feeling I have
been a good boy. AS as patient
I have developed the bad
boy complex 1t seems every
thing I do is wrong"
PRETTY SOON our pa
tients will be like the un-
manageable youngsters who
will rebel at anything you
tell them or ask them to do
They are so tired of being
told don't do this" and
better not do that" we will
find that their ears are

DEAR ABBY: Our 19-year-
old daughter recently mar
ried a 20-year-old boy whom
we love as our own son. He
has been sent overseas and
our daughter has moved back
into our home.
She drives our car, keeps
late hours and runs with a
beatnik crowd. If we didn't
watch her, she'd eat popcorn
and candy bars for supper
and sit up all night watch
ing TV. She claims that she
is a married woman" and
can do as she pleases. Is that
right?
UPSET PARENTS.
While she Is in your home,
married or single, she is your
responsibility. Since your
daughter obviously is not
grown up enough to know
what is good for her, it's up
to you to tell her and to see
that she does it.

DEAR ABBY: I am about
to lose my mind because of a
problem that would sound
stupid to everyone I know, so
I am hoping you can help me.
HOW can you wash a 3-year-
old girls hair when she
fights, claws and screams
blue murder? I have to chase
her around the house to
catch her and then it is a
real battle all the way. I
have tried putting ear plugs
in her ears and a towel over
her eyes, and even washing
her hair in the shower, but
nothing works. I have bribed,
begged and spanked. Please,
please help me.

Ian and his colleagues now have
the definite hope President
Kennedy will rescue the British
government from its obvious
political crisis with an offer to
make supplies of the Polaris
missile available by about 1867.
Britain would provide her
own carriers for Polaris but
ministers fear the Americans
might insist on sharing control
OF the missile. In line with
Washington's opposition to sup
porting national nuclear forces.
If United States terms for any
such deal are considered unac-
ceptable, the British govern
ment then might turn to France
with the idea of undertaking
a joint program to produce a
missile delivery system, in the
same way as the two countries
are developing a supersonic Jet
airliner.

sophical aspects Of East-West
relations, Europe's place in the
unfolding power struggle and
the roles France and Britain
can play in it.
Yet the basic purpose Of Mr.
Macmillan's informal week end
with Gen. de Gaulle was to find
out, If he could. Just what the
prospects are Of Britain enter
ing the French-led Common
Market. In the answer to this
riddle lies the fate Of his gov
eminent and the future Of his
island country.
The highly secret dialogue at
Rambouillet was the first OF
two encounters for the British
Prime Minister, who is beset
with ever-mounting policy set
backs at home and abroad.
To See Kennedy
He flies Monday to the sun
nier setting Of the Bahamas for
a conference with President
Kennedy.
AS the Rambouillet talks got
under way, British informants
spread word of two seemingly
unrelated developments which
nevertheless clearly could have
an impact on Mr.. Macmillan's
meetings with Gen. de Gaulle
and with Mr.. Kennedy.
The first development, ac-
cording to the British, concerns
East-West relations. In conf
dental exchanges with the
West, informants said, Premier
Khrushchev has given the clear
impression he would be elnbar-
raised to have to deal with any
sort Of major negotiating initi-
alive at this time. The Soviet
Premier's hands are too full
with problems at home and
abroad, notably with the Chi
nese Communists. Accordingly
the Western allies intend to sill
tight awhile. And the signifi-
canoe Of this, as both Gen. de
Gaulle and Macmillan doubt
less will note, is that there will
be less pressure on the allies
to hurry overanxiously into
far-reaching and binding new
commitments.
Rocket Cancellation Due
The second development con-
Germs the almost certain can
collation. Of the air-launched
Skybolt rocket, which had beer
designed to prolong the life Of
Americas B-52 and Britain'S
Vulcan bombers. Mr.. Macmil-

major uobjectives Of military
policy, the American team here
has been butting its head
against a rather formidable
stone wall. The American eff
fort has been no less persuasive
or effective than in the past
But its impact has seemed to
grow less as our allies define
and develop their own objec-
tives.
1t is right, of course, for the
United States to press for its
policies and interests even when
the immediate results are dis
appointing. There comes q
time, however. when the pur-
suit Of unattainable detectives
becomes an exercise in futulity
And there were moments in the
recent meeting when Ameri-
cans seemed uncomfortably
close to this point.

z Police Privutes
Convicted After
2-Duy Trial

Two 18th precinct police pri-
Yates, accused Of a shakedown
in q prostitution case, Friday
were found guilty Of lesser
charges. Fines totaling $3.50
were recommended by a police
trial board.
After hearing two days of
testimony. the board recon-
mended that Pvt. Donald E.
Rine, %, on the force four
years, be fined $3.50 for making
a false report on a routine
check Of a house and for neglect
Of duty.
The board recommended that
Pvt. Thomas NJ. McGlynn, 30,
who joined the force in 1860,
be fined 5000 for neglect of
duty.
The neglect Of duty was fail
ure to make out a vagrancy
slip.
Investigation Of the two po-
licemen began after Edward ],
MacClane of 1880 T street NV,
president of the Midway Civic
Association, reported on Sep
TENDER IA that he believed he
had heard a shot about 8
O'Clock that morning and had
seen policemen in a house in
the 1900 block Of Swami street
NV. Mr.. MacClane said he
had seen a policeman pick ur
something from a table and put
1t in his wallet.
An investigation was ordered
when no report on the incident
was made by the policeman.

matter by agreeing ut is nee

presented to the ministers by
Mr.. Mcnamara for q SubStan-

is no tendency to despair. Al

thermore, for the logic Of the
Secretary's arguments to sink
lin.
Certain skepticism, however,
remains. With the exception of
West Germany, the contribu-
tons of the small European
nations is likely to be Of small
signifance in the overall bal
ance Of power on the continent.
Much Of the proposed budget
increases seem likely to be alb
sorbed in the rising costs OF
military establishments already
in being.

LEAVE CHART
LEAVE CHART
How to Figure Your Time off in '63
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star staff Writer

The Star today presents its
1868 leave chart for Govern
ment employees.
We suggest that employees
clip the chart and use it dur
ing the year to keep tabs on
annual and sick leave.
For most employees, the leave
year starts Sunday, January 6,
1868, and ends on Saturday,
January 4, 1864. The leave year
for postal workers starts jan
uary S, 1868, and ends January
3, 1864.
The heavy lines on the
chart indicate the end Of a pay
period. Enter LA, is, ETC., in
the proper space when annual
or sick leave is used. Entries
In bold type are holidays.
Generally speaking, Govern
rpent employees should be
guided by the amount Of an
l1lial leave they have accumu-
lated on January 6, 1868. as to
how much annual leave they
can carry into the 1864 leave
year. Employees with fewer than
80. days of leave accumulated
asSof January 6, 1868, can ac-
cufnulate only a maximum Of
30 days. There is no restric-
ton on the amount of sick
leave that can be accumulated.

Blust at Ham Boycott

Polish Communist newspapers
told their readers this week
end that President Kennedy at
his most recent news confer

They omitted Mr.. Kennedy's
remark that such boycotts har-
ass merchants and are not
nearly as effective against COM

After Punumu

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy left last night for a
two-day visit to Brazil and
military installations in the
Panama Canal Zone.
Mr.. Kennedy's office and
State Department sources said
the Attorney General was going
to Brazil informally at the
invitation of President Joac
Goulart.
Mr.. Kennedy originally had
planned to visit only the Cana
Zone and when the Brazilians
heard he was going to be in
the neighborhood, they asked
him to come on over" a State

COntinueu FROM rage Al
forces. The burden Of this in
crease would fall naturally on
the European nations whose
contribution to the overall de-
tense is becoming less. In pro-
portion to their increasing ca
pacities.
OF these three detectives, the
first-pursued largely by Mr..
Rusk-can reasonably be said
to have been reached. In the
course of his major speech to
the NATO Council, the Secre-
tary bore down heavily on the
moral to be drawn from Cuba.
The other ministers warmly
echoed his conclusions. And
an unusually pallid final COM
munique duly paid tribute to
American staunchness in the
face of crisis.
On the other two detectives,
9 great deal more reserve about
the results obtained here are
IN order.
Since the question of a NATO
nuclear force was never raised
as a major issue In the formal
sessions of the ministerial
meeting, no mention Of it was
felt called for in the COM
munique. The discussions that
took place outside Of the meet
ing provided a certain amount
Of lively confusion over the
issue of control Of a NATO
nuclear force. Some officials
thought they detected signs of
interest among several smaller
European nations.
In the opinion OF most OBJ
servers. however, the proposal
for a multilateral NATO nu-
clear force along the lines en-
visaged by the United States
Is as good as dead. Massive
Indifference TO the proposals
by the British and French
would seem to doom the project
at the outset.
The smaller nations are in
fact, quite content to leave the
responsibility-and the expense
-of the nuclear deterrent in
American hands. And though
West Germany may be an ex-
ception, 1t seems hardly likely
that the program will be de-
veloped for the sole purpose
Of putting nuclear weapons in
German hands.
AS for the British and
French. there is no evidence
whatever Of a disposition TO
abandon their national nuclear
efforts.
British Indignant
In Britain, indignant public
reaction TO the threatened can
collation. Of the American Sky
bolt missile-on which Brit
aims future striking power has
been depending-has stiffened
government resolve TO preserve
Britain's role as an independ-
ent nuclear power. In France
President de Gaulle chose the
eve Of the NATo meeting 10
reaffirm his determination II
carry on with creation Of his
much criticized national force
de frappe.
All this, II would seem, spells
the bleakest OF futures for q
multi-national NATO deterrent
b which an American contri-
button would be the decisive
clement.
American officials may say
that this is quite all right
Chat their original proposals
were made only 10 satisfy
Europeans ambitions for Q
larger voice In the nucleai
field. At the same time. II Il
quite apparent that some othei
way must be found TO tie II
and coordinate national Euro.
