WEIGHT GAIN Today's average American child is two pounds heavier at the age of seven and as much as pounds heavier at 14-than was the average youngster of 20 years ago, according to a survey. Good Evening CHATCHEE, U. S.

A. -There are three familiar tenses, the past tense, the future tense and the present tense. They are a matter of time. And there are three familiar forms of tenseness, such as our past tenseness, our tenseness about the future, and our present tenseness. They are a matter of reality.

In thinking of the tenses and our tenseness, two familiar synonyms for tense readily come to mind: Intense and intent. Perhaps they offer a suggestion. "Intense," according to the dictionary, "implies extreme, sometimes excessive, strength, depth, concentration." "Intent," according to the dictionary, "applies especially to faculties eagerly bent on something." Thus, if we would have all our tenseness in the past tense, we must become more intense about our intent. And let's hope it's only another matter of time. (c) TOM SIMS LONDON (AP)-The Communist world's newspapers today described the riots in South Korea as an' uprising against the regime of President Syngman Rhee and the influence of the United States.

The Soviet government organ Izvestia said the demonstrations "foreshadow the inevitable fall of the regime which rests on a double barrier of bayonets their own, South Korean, and imported, American." Communist China's New China News Agency said "the fight against Syngman' Rhee's Fascist rule is now spreading out in South Korea like a prairie fire." It said the riots in South Korea's principal cities "are an inevitable result of the U. S. occupation and Syngman Rhee's dictatorship." The Soviet news agency Tass reported 200,000 persons demonstrated in 1 Pyongyang, capital of North Korea, in support of the South Korea dissidents. Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi expressed grave concern over the bloody riots. "The fuse that led to the explosion was probably the presidential elections, but we believe it was also the accumulation of dissatisfaction among the people with the policies of the governIment," Kishi told the House of Representatives.

He dismissed suggestions that Communists were behind the revolt. European newspapers commented on the United States' role in Korea and on the possible damage to the Western position in Asia. Britain's liberal News Chronicle said the Rhee government is a "serious embarrassment" to the West. It urged that the United States exert its influence in Korea "to check the cruelties of the government and give democracy a The Manchester Guardian noted that the Rhee government claimed the riots were Communist-inspired. "If this be true, it has onlv itself to blame," the paper said.
