On the first question, the institute has periodically made use of one of the most sensitive attitude scales yet developed to check the vice president's standing with voters of the country.

Black Mao Takes Chinese Reds Down Own Path Toward World Communism Red China is one Communist country allowed recent Bolshevik anniversary celebration in to travel its own Marxist road while giving lip Moscow is a soft-looking scholar and philservice to the Kremlin. The man who demands osopher. Here's what he's like both as a man China's independence--and outspokenly at the and symbol. By JOHN RODERICK HONG KONG (AP) Mao Tze-tung rules a staggering 640 million people. And his Communist Party with 12 million members is the world's larg.

est, even bigger than that of Russia. But Red China's boss is content to leave world Communist leadership to Moscow and the man who seems to be his exact opposite, Nikita Khrushchev. They met recently during the celebrations in Moscow of the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. It was a study in contrasts Mao, reserved, quiet, the thinker, poet and scholar, Khrushchev, flamboy. ant, master of the wisecrack, a boisterous drinker.

MAO IS IN no hurry to take the helm in the global Communist movement. He knows that once China has industrialized, the very weight of his country's numbers it will be one billiog by 1980 will give it to him, or his successors. Meanwhile, he is in the enviable position of being communism's most revered living fig. ure, without being committed to the harsh decisions which often have alienated Moscow from the rest of the Communist world. And his influence among the satellites, and in Russia itself, continues to be felt.

A FEW creases have crept into his moonlike face, and there is a dash of gray in his receding black hair. But, at 64, Mao gives every evidence of being more robust than he was 12 years ago. And his control over the Red leadership appears more secure than ever. To the rank-and-file, he is more than a leader, he is a symbol of Chinese communism. Though a disciple of Karl Marx, the bourgeois German who gave birth to communism in the last century, Mao has refused to apply Marxism i in China on Russian lines.

HE HAS insisted that there are separate roads to communism, depending on circumstances in each country. Moscow has permitted him this view, but has discouraged its acceptance in the Communist countries of Eastern Europe. Mao reasserted China's independence during the Moscow celebrations when he said, "The Chinese revolution has its own national characteristics and it is entirely necessary to take these into consideration." Khrushchev may not have, liked it, but he also proclaimed, as he has in the past, the right of other Communist nations to follow their own national bent on the way to socialism. IT WAS clear, he said, that if a proletarian revolutionary of any country failed to apply the lessons and experience of the Russian revolution "in a creative way in the light of specific conditions in his own country, he would not be able to master Len- Medical Memos Nose Treated To Clear Skin By H. L.

HERSCHENSOHN, MD When a person has a series of pimples or boils it may be necessary to treat the nose. This may seem odd but it is in the nose where the germs which cause the skin trouble usually breed. These germs, called staphylococci, are carried by the fingers to the skin which is scratched and subsequently infected. A staphylococcus is a round germ which is found in groups of similar germs in grape-like clusters. Some groups consist of only a few germs, others are quite large.

They are readily recognized under the microscope. They differ in appearance from streptococci which, instead of clusters, are next to each other like pearls in a necklace. The staphylococci are classified into three A general groups depending on the color their growth produces orange, or white. The poisons generated by these germs can destroy both the red and white cells of the blood. In children, staphylococci are responsible for impetigo.

These germs can also cause pneumonia, especially in infants. In older children injuries may be complicated by osteomyelitis due to the invasion of the bones by these germs. The staphylococcus is a tough germ which quickly builds up resistance to antibiotics. It is one of the reasons why it is dangerous to take antibiotics promiscuously. When they are really needed to fight an infection the germs are not affected.

Inch said the two-year government from recovering the paid in 1945 income taxes, but didn't. 'ASSISTANT U.S. Attorney Myron Friedman said the ruling may be appealed. He said it apparently left the government SO it couldn't even tax Williams on his windfall. Friedman gave this account of the case: On March 14,,1945 Williams mailed in his 1944 income tax return, showing a gross income of $8,020.71, and various deductions, leaving a tax due of $496.12.

"However, Williams, who fig. lured his own return, credited himself with a $3,024.83 business loss. He then subtracted the $496.12 tax due from the loss, and listed the remaining $2,528.71 as the refund owed him by the government. The government claimed this unorthodox computation, which would have the government paying Williams for his business loss, slipped by auditors, and on Jan. 9, 1946, the refund was mailed to him.

ON JUNE 3, 1948 the mistake was discovered and the first of a series of letters demanding repayment were sent. This eventually led to a suit filed Aug. 11, 1955, demanding the $3,024.83. It was tried without a jury. Judge Inch, in a 7-page ruling, said that since more than nine years went by between the time of the mistaken refund and filing of the suit, the statute of limitations barred any recovery.

Mao climbed to prominence in world communism in the 1930s when he defied Moscow's directives on how to carry out revolution in China. Instead of basing his strength on the proletariat, or working class, which was small and weak, he turned to the peasants.

Through agranian reforms, and an army of peasants, he swept to victory in 1949 over the Chinese Nationalists. THEN, as today, he paid public lip service to the Moscow leadership. He made some grave mistakes by following Stalin's instructions in the years that followed. But by then he had achieved his goal in his own way. GERONIMO (Special)services for Edward Webb Black, 76.

But, he said, further slum clearance requires federal aid, particularly in the smaller towns of surrounding Allegheny County where it is impossible to round up sufficient private or local funds to do the job. MAYOR NORRIS Poulson of Los Angeles stressed that little can be expected from state funds because of the dominance of legislatures by rural interests. The three mayors were joined in their plea for additional federal funds by a diversity of business interests.

A. W. Schmidt, affiliated with Pittsburgh's Richard K. Mellon 1 in business and head of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, supported Lawrence's stand at the hearing,.
