EDITORIALS OF THE STAR Ths KM, tmt Bante, April 90,1878, Ij no pirith, but ht Maf All Ill-Mannered Guest; Must This Man Enjoy Hospitality? 'Frankly, We Were Expecting Something A Little More As refuge for the displaced, the oppressed and the discontented, the United States is without peers in the family of nations. It is a natural tradition since the Republic was founded, nurtured and developed by just such people, generation after generation. Sut it isn't necessary to extend the welcome to trouble-makers who find it necessary or expedient to express violently anti-American sentiments while a guest on these shores. Take a look at Eqbal Ahmad, the Pakistani national who was one of the defendants ift the recently concluded Harrisburg 7 conspiracy trial. Within hours after the jury failed to return a verdict on the government's charges against Ahmad, the Pakistani student was addressing a demonstration in a neighboring Penn- sylvanic city.

Unless the Vietnam war is stopped, he reportedly said, "and there is no accountability on the part of public officials, the papers will have to be destroyed, buildings will have to continue to be raided and discussions about citizens arrests of officiate whom we consider guilty or at the very least deserving trials for crimes against humanity, will continue to take place." Ahmad's conduct is not dissimilar to that of a house guest who proceeds to tell his hosts unless they do as he tells them he will throw them out of bheir own home. Ahmad should be returned to his homeland about as quickly as the hosts would eject their arrogant and ill'mannered guest from their abode. Pennsylvania Congressman George A. Goodling has made just such a demand of the State Department and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Assuming Foggy Bottom has not thrown away the rule book of common sense, affirmative Action should be forthcoming.

Bowing To A Boeing Earl Wilson The darn things are really just too big to get off the ground. But they have, in more ways than one. Since the first Boeing 747 took off on a commercial flight on Jan. 21, 1970, the jumbo jets have piled up a perfect safety record while carrying more than 19 million passengers more than 270 million miles. Actuarial experts predicted three 747 crashes within the first 18 months of operation.

But only one has been lost, and that was blown up at Cairo airport by Palestinian terrorists. Lloyds of London has lowered Insurance rates on the plane by approximately 15 per cent. other money terms, total sales of the 747 have amounted to $3.6 billion, of which by the end of 1972 $1.3 billion will have been export sales to other countries. Building the aircraft has provided jobs for about 16,000 persons. Some 150 747s are routinely servicing 75 cities and have brought more than $90 million in commissions to travel agents.

Surveys show that both pleasure and business travelers prefer the 747 over other planes and will wait to get a seat on it. A flying Edsel the 747 ain't. Cafe Circuit: It Happened Last Night Driving While Potted Just as other tests on the Use of marijuana turned in conflicting arid sometimes contradictory reports, so have those conducted on the effects of pot on driving.

Other one made a few years ago at the University of Washington and a more recent one at Boston University School of little adverse effect on driving performances'. Perhaps an explanation for these different findings can be found in the driver's attitude rather than his responses and perceptions. The head of the West German study team noted an "I couldn't care less" attitude among his subjects. He concluded the "general feeling of disinterest wipes out any sense of danger." Removing the element of fear does not necessarily improve' driving habits.

AS OTHERS Calls For Coal Research WASHINGTON (Special) A coal industry spokesman said here the nation's fuel industries are losing the race between supply and demand, and the results could be disastrous. James R. Garvey, executive vice president of the National Coal Association and president of its research affiliate, Bituminous Coal Research, called on Congress to expand federally sponsored research to make synthetic gas and oil from coal, which he said is the only abundant U.S. fuel. "Unless decisive action Is taken," Garvey said in testimony prepared for a House Appropriations subcommittee," our nation, in a very few years, will either have insufficient fuels to produce the quired electric power, heat our homes and run our factories, or we will be dependent on foreign fuel for more than half our needs.

"Either would be disastrous for our economy and our security We have coal in abundance, and we have made a substantial beginning in the development of technology to use our coal resources to meet our energy needs." Garvey said coal research is the key to the national energy shortage, and the programs of the Office of Coal Research and- the Bureau of Mines in the Department of the Interior "provide the vehicle" for technological progress. Interior's coal (o pipeline gas programs are now in the pilot stage, he said.

Waste no tears over the griefs of Euripides, Greek dramatist.

"Under the proposed budget, with additional funding from the American Gas Association, this effort could result in a substantial reduction in pur reliance on foreign gas imports starting in the early Eighties," he said. Office of Coal Research programs directed at producing liquids from coal, such as The Pittsburg Midway Coal Mining process for solvent extraction of oil from coal and the investigation of low-sulfur oil production from coal at the Cresap, W. pilot plant, could bring early relief from "our growing dependence on foreign residual oil" to meet the nation's needs for electricity without environmental degradation, Garvey said. Also, he said, other programs initiated by Interior will result in greater safety in mining, as well as conversion of the mined product to more conveniently usable and substantially less polluting forms. H.

An Increased coal research effort to "maintain the integrity of an industry which provided the fuel that enabled us to become the leading industrial nation of the world" is even more important now than in I960 when the Office of Coal Research was set up by law for that purpose, Garvey said. He added that "in the intervening 12 years the consumption of energy has grown faster than most had anticipated, the demand for cleaner air has forced increased use of oil and gas to satisfy the energy need, and we have reached the point where our domestic resources of oil and gas are not sufficient to meet the demand. "Consequently, we are becoming increasingly reliant on imports of fuels from abroad to the potential detriment of the 'economic welfare and security' of the nation and economic stability of the coal industry" that were primary legislative- purposes in the creation of the Office of Coal Research, he said. With adequate funding of interior's coal research programs, the nation can "avoid the imminent stranglehold on our national security and economy whioh fuel imports threaten," Garvey said. BURT REYNOLDS KICKS HIS 'BRANDO IMAGE' NEW Y9RK "Is Burt nolds staying at your hotel?" I asked Ed Sullivan.

"Could be," replied Ed. "I saw a naked guy in the lobby." Burt, the Cosma pull-out center spread TV and movie star, has dozens of women chasing him as he and Dyan Cannon film scenes for "Shamus." Some are on barges at the Gowanus Canal and at the Smith St. El station in Brooklyn. Anyway, a m- plished one thing by going naked. Nobody mistakes him for Madon Brando any more.

The Doctor Says Dear Dr. Lamb My friend and I have been arguing about anemia (low blood pressure). She says that if it is not treated right away you can die. I disagree. Can you please tell us tihe effect if you don't toke care of yourself.

I have anemia. Dear Reader Anemia and low blood pressure are two different things. Anemia means inadequate number of red blood cells in the blood stream or insufficient iron in the red blood cells that are present. Low blood pressure means that the pressure of the blood in the wteries is on the low side. This is related to how much blood you have, how strongly heart beats and how much resistance the arteries make to blood flow.

It is true that anemia cam sometimes cause low blood pressure, but they are two different things. Low blood pressure by itself in a person who has no evidence of illness, such as heart disease, anemia or tuberculosis to name a few, is not serious. What, should be done about an anemia depends on how severe it is. Girls oft-times have mild anemias which are not Precipitation Answar to Previous AOROSS 1 frozen Mindanao 3 John (Gaelic) 4 Beasts of wntecvapr 10 Vaporous 5 Rains 6 Convent member 7 Tumor 18 Burmese Mongoloid WRoeter 9 Ancient 22 Ravine uuffix cards 12 Tree trunk Spanish cUv.

The only sure way is to know how severe the anemia is and for this you will have to rely on your doctor. I would say tihat it is highly unlikely that you are going to die real soon, and most forms of anemia can be treated if they are severe enough to require treatment. Dear Dr. Lamb I am Almost, 24 years old and have had pain in my right chest and side since I was 20. The pain starts from the back and then spreads.

I have had tests for my kidneys and I still think that is what is the matter. My doctor now thinks it is pleurisy but all he does is give me penicillin shots pills. I am married and this problem sometimes causes trouble between us. We have been married three years and I haven't been able to get pregnant. Do you thinlc pleurisy has anything to do with this? Dear Reader I don't know what you have; and if your doctor is giving you penicillin shots, he must think you have an infection.

Plain ordinary pleurisy is usually not helped by peni. cillin or. antibiotics. There are 'multiple causes for pain in the you speak of, including muscular problems with the lungs, the digestive tract, the kidney or liver, and the spine. Pleurisy should not prevent you fro-m getting pregnant and any episode of pleurisy that lasits four years is very unusual.

It was a large- scale of the biggest in the wafr. But somehow there were members of Congress and critics outside the Capital who were aatondfthed when South Vietnam resisted, with die aid of Attterteati air power. Within few days after American planes were but Into action to help dirive out the 'some senators were commenting publioly that President Nixon was the war. It seemed to be fwgottm that it was North Vletmm which had enlarged conflict and that the United doing was trying to save South Vietnam from destruction.

Apparently the use of air pcAv- er has been effective. Though unfavorable comments from North Vietnam and its allies in Peking and Moscow, the news reports began to indicate tihait resumption of tihe peace conference at Paris was thought to be desirable. So far as the limited States is concerned, it has been prepared to cawy on the talks when the obher side was feady to negotiate. But all of a sudden the massive invasion by North Vietnam occurred, and it wag deemed impractical to participate in any 'discussions while Communist troops were taking over parts of South Vietnam. What la needed is an Armiis- ttce tfoait means wditihdrawal of North armies and will keep botlh sides from moving against each otter's territory.

The United States will gladly nefeftin from employing air power and will try to develop an agreement which will ensure lasting peace in Undo- China. But ait the moment the situation is clouded. The news coming out of Peking as well as Moscow reveals that neither government has disapproved of the North Vietnamese attack arid both have eritized the United'States for giving assistance with its 'planes to the Soutih Vietnamese. Secretary of State William P. Rogers, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Monday, minced no words.

He declared that the United States will "not engage in negotiations while this major invasion is underway." But he ffcitid ft ft fete flpWdfi towscd soffrt kntd of AfHdflfg VietftiftV will pretty If thft Attack is Mf.

There was some talk during the hearing about pulling out all American forces and letting North Ahd South Vietnam settle difrCPeTficfes by war or other methods. But Secretary Rogers said: "We can't now just turn tail and leave our friend and ally alone If the United Stales did in about-face after all these yeatw of supporting South Vietnam, I think tthete would be a blood bath South Vietnam.

"There is no doubt in my mind there would be a terrible massacre. Furthermore, it would destabilize that whole area." The Secretary added that complete U.S. withdrawal "would be a major disaster, a mistake of major proportions" which would affect adversely not only South Vietnam but also Japan, Korea and the Philli- pities. Secretary Rogers' comments were questioned by some of the Senators, and it is interesting to note that there was little emphasis placed by the Senators on the terrible effects of the initial invasion which, if It had not been resisted by South Vietnam with the aid of U.S. air power, could have become a trophe.

So while there is a good deal of talk now about the "escalation" of the war because much prominence is being given to the operations by American planes, the truth is the retaliatory movement by air is only one part of the- resistance by the South Vietnamese, who have been confronted with a massive invasion by the aggressor from the North. There were Senators who said they see every reason why the United States should help by bombing targets in Hanoi and Haiphong, and there were others who called it "senseless" and "reckless." The American people may not know the difference between "escalation" and "retalia'tion." but a massive invasion did happen and has been going on for nearly three weeks. Certainly South Vietnam had the right to fight back with air power, too. 1972, Syndicate) Oswald Jacoby Improving Your Bridge The late Ambrose Casner of New York won the 1944 open pairs and was second in six obh- er national events in a long bridge career.
