Keep feet clean = bathe them daily. Pay attention to backs of heels and between toes. Rub briskly with dry towel and then apply foot powder.
 In addition, apply soft cushion ing pads to tender spots, corns or callouses. Also wear proper shoes - sturdy leather shoes with firm arch support and low heel are best for daily wear. Use foot powder-daily applications in the shoes help absorb excessive foot precipitation.
 This easy foot care routine should eliminate most problems dealing with the feet.

Scranton Again

ing Mayor Dilworth, Mr.. Scranton won
by about 100000 votes.
Now it starts all over again. Gov
ernor Scranton is being urged to skip
the reluctant-dragon business. General
Eisenhower is said to be among those
urging him. Republican National Chair
man william E. Miller and the New
York Herald Tribune have added their
encouragement. In any event, II he in
tends to make his move, which evidently
he does, Mr.. Scranton must make 1t
soon. The Republican convention is
only about seven months away.
Nationally, the Governor is not
well-known. He can't hope to sit back
and wait forNthe g. o. P. nomination
to come to him on a platter.
without trying to list all of Mr..
Scranton's qualifications, and without
contending that he is the only worthy
Republican, we would point to the fol-
lowing: He is man of considerable
culture. He has served with credit in
the State Department. His service in
the House Of Representatives also was
effective. AS Governor Of State with
many problems, he has shown an in
telligent dedication to serving the needs
of the economically distressed, to main
tanning a certain fiscal sanity even at
the risk Of opposition from a certain
segment Of old-line G. o. P. supporters
With all Of this, he has been a staunch
supporter of civil rights.
What else? Governor Scranton has
a wife who is reported to be a more
than-ordinary asset on the campaign
trail From what we have seen of him,
he is politician endowed with a re-
freShing and unusual measure Of can
dor. And perhaps most important of all,
he looks like man occupying the Stra-
tegic middle-ground, who could be ex-
pected to unite all factions of the
G. o. P. If this proves so, he will win
the nomination.

Is 1t possible that the
Communist regime In China
is approaching collapse? Are
the repeated statements Of
apologists that no matter
what happens the regime is
secure, a case Of protesting
too much? Is it possible that
we still have elements in the
State Department friendly to
the Communist regime that
now begin to fear for its
survival and are seeking
ways of bolstering it with
American help? Should we
Judge the competence and
reliability Of the State De-
partment by its record in
selling us a false image of
Castro and its handling of
the OCepka case!
These questions certainly
need answers. Perhaps 1t
would give the ordinary
people of the country more
confidence in our foreign
policy If the President would
appoint a committee to look
into the competence and
loyalty of the high officials
Of the State Department who
make our policy toward
Communist and near Com
munist regimes.

DANCER at Sea

There was the moment when the
fire came. And then all the holiday
spirit aboard the Lakonia dissolved. The
Greek cruise ship had over $50 pas
sengerS headed for the sun and Christ
mas sojourn on the Portuguese island Of
Madeira. But things happen on the sea
that are often cruel despite the seas
general benevolence. The Lakonias bad
luck is just another case in point.
Winds and waves cannot be blamed
for the ships misfortune. Here was
something man-made. Here were
flames, and later explosions, that got
started somehow through the careless
ness Of human beings, nothing else.
Maritime authorities, Of course, will in
veStigate, and If there is finding of
negligence, other things will follow In
due course, including lawsuits seeking
indemnity for loss of life and property.
But the good aspect of this otherwise
distressing story is that the loss has
been much less than it might have been
The casualties, though heavy enough,
would have been much worse II the
Lakonia had been as poorly equipped to
cope with disaster as the Titanic. Above
all, the ships that came to the rescue
must be credited with fine perform
ance that lends new distinction to the
long history of mans exploits in coping
with the unpredictabilities and dangers
of the sea

Wrong Amendment

AS Senator Pell points out, there Is
loophole in the 23d Amendment to the
Constitution, which grants Washing
tonianS the right to vote for President
and Vice President.
For II the electoral college (includ-
ing the Districts three electoral votes)
should fail to agree upon a President,
the election would be thrown into Con-
gress. And in that event, the District,
OF course, would have no voice in the
final choice. Accordingly, Senator Pell
has introduced new constitutional
amendment which would authorize Con-
gresS, in manner unSpecified, to pro-
tect the Districts rights.
Equity demands action" says the
Rhode Island Senator. And how right
he is. While we emphasize our gratifica-
ton at his interest, however, we re-
spectfully submit that he is backing the
wrong amendment.
Real equity" for the District will
be achieved only by a constitutional
amendment granting Washington full
voting representation in both the House
and Senate. This is the second half of
the total package of enfranchisment
which was only begun by the 23d
Amendment And this is the remedy
that Senator Pell should support in his
commendable desire to see that justice
is done.

Back in July, The Star suggested
that william W. Scranton, Governor of
Pennsylvania, was the best man the
Republicans could put forward as then
presidential candidate. Now, as lot OF
other people seem to be reaching the
same conclusion, we say it again.
Politically, much has changed.
President Kennedy's death, which no
one could foresee, has materially al
tered the estimates which, though 1t
may seem a cold and unfeeling thing
to say, must still enter into the political
calculations. AS always, the political
men at the conventions will try to nomi-
nate a winner.
"a. It would have been very difficult
for any epublican-barring some I'M
foreseen national or international turn
for the worSe-to have beaten John F.
Kennedy. Anyone who thinks that Lyn-
don B. Johnson, given the current signs
and portentS, will be less than for
midable opponent in November, had
better think again. This coming cleo
ton will be tough for the G. o. p, and
the party will have to come up with its
strongest possible candidate.
All Of which brings us back to Penn
Sylvania'S Governor Scranton.
In his political career (he is only
46) Governor Scranton has been some
thing Of reluctant dragon. But he has
worked hard and with success to al
leviate the distress in some of his States
problem areas. He was pushed into
running for the House in strong Demo-
cratic district. He won by some $1,000
votes. John Kennedy carried the dis
trict by about $4,000 votes).
The next big test came when Mr..
Scranton was urged to run against
Richardson Dilworth, Philadelphias
reform" mayor, for the governorship.

THos Triumph

The success Of Tiros-S, the new
American meteorological satellite, lends
further support to those who predict
that the day is not too distant when
there will be rather magical around

mense value to all mankind.
This watch, in fact, is now in its
experimental beginning stage, and the
outlook is highly promising For the

inexpensive) on land and sea around
the world. According to an agreement
signed earlier in the year, the Soviet
Union, although it has contributed
nothing so far, has committed itself to
cooperate with the United States in
helping to make this kind of system
a reality. AS. to the potentialities, the
following authoritative comment is to
the point:
Scientists tell us that If we could &C.
curately predict the weather five days in
advance, it would mean cost savings of S2.5
billion annually in agriculture and more
than 50 billion in management of our water

Recent releases from the
State Department suggesting
avenues of rapprochement
with Communist China
revive memories of the past.
Whether the United States
by any means could have
prevented Mao Use tung
and his Communist armies
from driving out the Nation
aliSt government can never
be known. 1t seems doubtful.
But there appears to be no
doubt that elements in our
State Department desired a
Com unist victory and
worked actively behind the
scenes to sabotage the efforts
of the Nationalist govern
ment to survive.
Great things were predict
ed for the victorious Com
munists and great changes
have taken place. Whether
these are good or bad, in our
interest, in the interest Of
the Chinese people, or only
in the interest of the new
ruling class, depends on the
theological SympathieS of the
observer. c. p. Snow, one of

agrarian reformers, describes
in a recent book the great
material advances they have
made. He admits however
that Chinese intellectuals
have been cowed and that
during his recent visit to
China extending over several
months he was not, able to
converse privately with any
such person.
Communist Chinese
writers paint a darker pic
ture. Since they are refu-
gees we may expect them
perhaps to stress the bad and
minimize any good which
the Communist regime has
accomplished. They describe
Communist China as a ma
ton Of robots parroting the
sayings Of Mao Use tung
and attempting to run the
country BY Communist slo-
gans. This has dislocated
agriculture and, given a little
more time. will do the same
for newly developed indus
try now that Russian techni-
clans have been recalled. The
people, other than members
of the ruling Communist
party, have been driven close
to the breaking point.

Sukorno's Latest

Indonesia's President Sukarno, who
has so often paraded himself as a
"peace-loving neutraliSt," is maintain
ing a perfect record as the most belli-
coSe, most tiresome, demagogue in the
Far Pacific. Having succeeded last year,
with American diplomatic help, In using
threats of armed force to wrest West
New Guinea from the Dutch, he now

unoffending, peaceful and highly prom
Using federation whose principal compo-
nents are Malaga, Singapore, Sarawak
and North Borneo. If 1t is given half a
chance, 1t will prosper and promote sta
bility in that part of the world as bull
wark against Communist SubverSion and
aggression. But Mr.. Sukarno, the pos
turing and verbose preacher Of brand
of "neutraliSm" that seems always to
side with either Peking or Moscow, has
proclaimed once again that 1ndoneSia
is determined to crush" the MalaySians
with whatever force is necessary. He has
been moved to repeat himself on this
score in response to reports that the
United States 7th Fleet is diSpatching
units to positions that could seriously
interfere with his aggressive ambitions
in the area. ....
Mr.. Sukarno, a pot-valiant fellow
who has been described in some quar-
tiers as the Playboy Of the Eastern
World, simply SCOTS at all this. The 7th
Fleet, one Of the most awesomely pow
erful in the history of the world, is
something he just blithely brushes aside.
LET there be two or three such U. S.
fleets" he says. I'VE will continue to
crush Malaysia"
This is the character, incidentally,
who has eagerly accepted almost
