WASHINGTON, November 18. Although President Eisenhower's forthcoming tour is designed to promote "good will and understanding" of the United States, it is also intended to strengthen the military structure of the anti-Communist alliance that extends from Britain to Southeast Asia and Australia. In fact if not in name, the American president is the commander-in-chief of that organization. Moreover, it is he who determines how much money, and, to a certain degree, what kind of arms shall be supplied to our allies for defense against possible attack by the Reds.

It is significant that this will be the first time in his political or military career that President Eisenhower will have visited the headquarters of the three Western military coalitions NATO at Paris, METO at Ankara and SEATO at Bangkok. Although Thailand expects Eisenhower's arrival, the White House says there are no present plans for such a visit. fy that the press and movies are had to be set up by the Motion Picture Association of, America, the trade organization over which an outsider, Eric Johnston, now now far more responsible and re spectable media of mass communi cation than they used to be. presides as czar a title he does not use.

It also accords with two ancient American QUESTION: Who discovered the Pacific Ocean? ANSWER: Tha European credited with discovering Hit largest and deepest of the world's oceans was Vasco Nunez da Balboa, ths Spanish navigator. Balboa hod sailed to America in search of a fortune. In 1510 ho landed at the Spanish colony of Darlcn in what is now the Republic of Panama. Balboa took command ot an uprising that overthrew the governor of the new colony and became governor himself. Later, an Indian told him of a vast body of water on the other aldo of the mountains and of gold in Peru.

Balboa set out in search of the gold on Sept, 1, 1513. On Sept. 25, he reached the top of ths mountains and become the first European to tee the ocean. Four days later, he stood on the shore and claimed all tha lands that were touched by the ocean for the king of Spain.

Jack Kelly, is precepts of "Talk softly, but carry a big responsibility to the same types of promoters, hucksters, and showmen who gave the publishing and moving picture businesses their ill repute in their earlier days. Whether Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) and his legislative oversight subcommittee can draft a law which will prevent this when they resume hearings in December, remains to be seen. But the experience of the newspaper and moving picture industries indicates that the newer art forms and media of communication must first mature enough to drive the undesirable elements out of their own studios.

So far. the National Association of Broadcasters and the TV Information Bureau have not been able to even make a start at this has followed a different pattern not as militant, but he has his A large part of the bad name the Help For Children Death and illness the average person expects. But no one ever expects their child to be mentally retarded. It is easy to imagine the anguish of a parent when it does strike. But each year some 120,000 American families face the shock of mental retardation in their child and join the 5,000,000 families who often have wondered what can be done for their child.

Well, with the support of the public, much can be done. National Retarded Children's week is being observed from November 15 to Thanksgiving Day, to emphasize what is being done, what can be done and what should be done to overcome the effects of a handicap which has damaged the lives of 5,000,000 children and adults among us. The greatest needs of the mentally retarded are, according to the Santa Cruz County Council for Retarded Children: 1. Public understanding and acceptance. 2.

Special services to meet their special requirements in training, education, recreation and vocational rehabilitation. 3. Research to discover means of controlling and preventing more of the 90 known causes of mental retardation. Already, several causes of MR have been pin-pointed and methods to prevent them now are being practiced. It is reasonable to suppose that expansion of research in this area will prevent an ever-increasing number of cases.

Meanwhile, for the children who already are handicapped, hope lies in education and training. Proper schooling can enable five out of six retardates to become productive members of the community; earning their own living to a whole or partial degree and assuming the responsibilities of citizens. Specialized clinics, training centers and recreational programs must go hand in hand with the educational facilities. Spearheading the progress to provide the mentally retarded with the help they deserve is the Santa Cruz County council, a member unit of the national association. It deserves the support and generous contributions of us all.

I hailed an elderly stranger and asked his help.

"Certainly," he said, pulling a pair of glasses from his pocket. He gave me the number. "Sonny, why don't you quit fighting time, and get yourself some glasses. You dont know what you're missing," he told me. "Such as what?" I asked.

"Well, are you a girl watcher?" he demanded. I looked quickly in both directions and lowered my voice as I answered, "Isn't everybody?" "Can you see that pretty girl at the other end of the terminal?" he inquired. I looked where ha pointed and had to admit she was pretty much of a blur to me.

You declare emphatically that all the new hit tunes sound exactly alike to you and that it is utterly impossible to understand the words of today's songs. You begin to tap your foot when you hear a song hit of 25 years ago and ask plaintively, "Why don't they write songs like that any more?" One of your big considerations when buying a car is whether or not it is easy to get in and out of. You solemnly assure young people that they don't have as much fun today as kids had when you were growing up. You have an aversion to modern design, modern art, and little foreign cars. You lump all teen-agers together as being rude, irresponsible, and reckless.

You voice amazement when you hear the starting salaries of today's college graduates or hear how much some high school kid is making a week on a summer job. You are embarrassed by the frankness of the younger generation. You think young people today "have too much." You believe young marriages are doomed to failure. You think the way to see a ball game is to sit at home in an easy chair and watch it on TV. There's nothing wrong with any of those attitudes.

He was pleased when we were interested. "You shall have a dish as Aztecan as the chocolatal you drink at my tables as the avocatal you eat there." Guadalupe, his highly efficient cook, was a squaw. She made succotash of beans and maize. Her husband, Jose, was sent to shoot a javelina, or wild pig. Biologists call it "peccary." That dish of succotash was flavored with wild pig.

It has about 20 undermanned and poorly equipped divisions, as against 70 Communist divisions in satellite and Russian territory only a few hundred miles distant. The possible enemy has far more motorized and mechanized facilities.

Our 20 divisions suffer from other handicaps. They are separated and badly located from a strategic standpoint. It would be impossible to assemble them in a hurry to challenge a concentrated Communist breakthrough in a specific and small sector. They are multilingual and they have different kinds of weapons. They have less than half of the air power which Moscow could pour on them 2000 against 5000 planes.

SERIOUS WEAKNESS A serious weakness is the transfer of 500,000 French troops from the NATO sector to North Africa. By lending his influence to Charles de Gaulle's program for pacifying Algeria, Eisenhower may be able to help in returning this large force to Metropolitan France. Eisenhower may also agree, if tacitly, to de Gaulle's insistence that France become a nuclear power. If so, the French president may rescind his ban on the storage of American atomic weapons on French bases. This would be a tremendous advantage to the West, for they must now be kept in Britain or in exposed positions in West Germany.

All these efforts to strengthen and consolidate the West's military power, it is pointed out, can be accomplished without any fanfare or publicity that will antagonize Khrushchev.
