11 iMfrttt Billy ion, May 5, 1970 Jaclc Anderson Troop will continue WASHINGTON The push' of U.S. combat troops into Cambodia Isn't supposed to delay their pullout from South Vietnam not, at least, unless President Nixon's calculations go awry. He has made clear to subordinates that he expects to continue the troop withdrawals from Vietnam, although the next 150,000 may be shipped out at the end of the 12-month period. He would also like to reduce the number of support troops, who man the communications and supply lines into Vietnam, by an additional 50,000 to 60,000 men. Of course, replacements will continue to pour into Vietnam.

Only the over-all troop totals will be lowered. The President, meanwhile, has hedged on his promise to end the draft and to establish an all-volunteer force. He still hopes to move toward this goal by making the Army more attractive to volunteers. But he doesn't intend to give up the draft until the Army is able to offer the incentives that will make it easier to switch to an all-volunteer system. Dwindling Draft Calls His aim is to reduce the draft calls gradu- ally down to zero, and then convert to an volunteer armed force.

In the meantime, the President will try to make the draft as palat- able as possible by removing some of the equities and uncertainties. Shortly before he announced the drive into Cambodia, he called Republican congres- leaders to the White House for a fidential briefing on the draft. "The people expect a kind of uniformity the present system cannot deliver," said Curtis Tarr, the new Selective Service chief. He explained their plan to eliminate most deferments and to call the youngest first. In calling the youngest first," he said, "the random selection basis is the best route." He estimated that by the end of August "we will have caught up with the draft shortfall.

I hope the sequence numbers will not reach as high as 200." Under the lottery system, draftees are called up according to their birthdays, thus the sequence numbers run up to 365. If Tarr's estimate turns out: to be correct, those with lottery numbers falling the last 165 days won't have to worry about the draft this year. Wilson's Objections "I like the way the present system grumped California's Rep. Bob Wilson, House GOP Congressional Campaign chair- jman. "There will be a problem in eliminating deferments." Secretary of Defense Mel Laird argued draft-age youths, at least, would know where they stood and could plan for the future.

"At the end ol their 18th year," he said, "Tficy will know where they are. They can Bpt tor early induction or they can begin college, expecting a call later. Regulations also wffl permit a two-year enlistment even at 17 years." Wilson seemed satisfied. "That solves the problem for me," he said. Tarr predicted that most young men would be able to finish their sophomore year before i fchey were drafted.

"Tarr is right," said Senate GOP leader Hugh" Scott. "Students, after college inter l.rupted by military service, are rather apt to improve educationally." A presidential commission, headed by ex; Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates, urged President Nixon to eliminate conscription en- itirely by mid-1971 when the present draft law 'expires. But Laird told the closed-door meet, ing bluntly that "the draft will not end in July 4971, as the Gates Report recommends." He declared, however, that the tration's goal was to "move toward zero draft "We will be phasing down to thirteen and third divisions," he also announced. Granddaughter's Lecture Senator Warren Magnuson, the man largely responsible for putting warnings on cigarette packages, has often wondered whether his messsage is getting through to the youth. Now he knows.

His granddaughter, Leslie, who is five -years old, watched him as he lighted up a to celebrate his 65th birthday As Magnuson blew out a cloud of smoke, thinking perhaps of the stronger message he has just pushed through Congress to warn not to smoke, Leslie piped up: "That may be hazardous to you," she said shaking a stern finger at the cigar and the Senator. Behind Closed Doors The so-called SALT talks, which have brought the Russians and Americans togeth- in Vienna to seek an agreement to halt arms race, have been conducted behind closed doors. Both sides have made a real ef- to keep propaganda and ideology out of "the negotiations. The United States has submitted a complex and comprehensive analysis, showing how both countries could limit weapons but still retain the ability retaliate in case they were victims of attacks. The Soviets have shown a 'genuine interest in the American analysis.

The American delegation has also made clear to the Soviets that the United States will do no than absolutely necessary to maintain its position. 1970 Is Crucial Year of Viet War DON OAKLEY: When historians write jHhe complete history of the Vietnam war, there sis little doubt that they will agree on one 1965 was the crucial year in the early of the conflict. It was America's rapid infusion of weap- and manpower during that year which pulled tottering South Vietnam back from the brjnk Of a Communist take-over, even while 'raising the war to new levels of ferocity as North Vietnam In turn stepped up its partici- is, of course, too early to tell, but it be recorded that not 1968, when Lyn' Upper Room NEBRASKA IS one of the states with a long state ballot. knows who is running for governor and for the State Legislature in his district. I think that: not many people could name the candidates for Lieutenant Governor, much less the more obscure offices like State Treasurer, University of Nebraska Regent and Railway Commissioner (except when, likfe this year, local citizen is in a race, like Beatrice's Bob Thies for Railway Commissioner).

Among those few citizens who could name candidates for the minor offices, not many could tell much nbout SO, INSOFAR as the minor offices are concerned, most people don't really know who Ihey are voting for. And, at the same time, a lot of voters will think they are voting for one person when they nre actually voting for someone else. This is how a familiar name helps a candidate. Take Ray C. Johnson, for example.

Time and again he has been elected State Auditor of Public Accounts. People are familiar with that name on the ballot and have formed the habit of placing nn after it. This year, in the Republican primary, on the ballot among the candidates for Auditor of Public Accounts, will appear the name "Ray A. C. Johnson." A lot of people won't notice that extra initial.

The Ray C. Johnson, who has held the office for so many years, is retiring. Ray A. C. Johnson is a different person.

But lots of people won't know it. WE'VE HAD a Frank Marsh" as Nebraska Secretary of State through two generations. Alter serving a long time the original Frank Marsh died and his son, Frank Marsh ran for the office, and has been elected repeatedly. It's been said that many voters never did know that they weren't voting for the same man all the while, although one would think that they would have been surprised at Mr. Marsh's longevity.

This is no reflection on Frank Marsh the Younger, who has done an excellent job. (This year is is trying for Lieutenant Governor, and once again that familiar name will do him no harm.) Out of the Past WE GET about ten or 12 Nebraska out- state daily newspapers, more than I can scan daily (most days I don't have time to glance at any of them). Those whose editorial pages I have noticed lately, where there was comment on the race for Republican nomination for Governor, have backed Gov. Tiemann. If any are supporting Clifton Batchelder, I missed the comment.

It could very well be that a few of them are supporting him. THE COMMENT that came to my attention most recently was in the News-Times of York, where State Sen. Batchelder spoke last week. Earlier, York Editor Kent Thomas had expressed a hope that Batchelder would offer some idea, of what he stands for. "Well, after hearing him in person for 40 minutes here Tuesday night," Thomas editorialized last week, "we can't see waiting any longer.

This man from Omaha convinced us he's not about to propose a program and if he owns a single constructive thought, he didn't bother to express it the other night. Batchelder was so negative you could hardly believe it, and we wish more people would have been on hand to hear him, especially those who think he would be good for them and Nebraska." IT HAS HAPPENED often that a challenger has been nominated or elected, not because of his own popularity, but as a protest to an incumbent. In this Republican primary, the reverse could be true. Quite a few Republicans who felt that Tiemann was trying to move too fast and too far, and might have leaned toward a slightly less progressive candidate will vote for the present Governor because they can't swallow the extremes of Batchelder's negativism. What is virility at age 25 is lechery at 65.

Johnson retired from the presidency and Richard M. Nixon was elected to it, and not 1969, when the new President initiated the policy of "Vietnamization," but 1970 was the crucial year in the final stages of the conflict.

President Nixon has announced his intention of withdrawing another 150,000 U.S. soldiers over the next 12 months barring any unlooked-for deterioration in the situation in Southeast asia. This would bring America's troop strength to its lowest level since 1965. This is good news, even though it borrows against a very uncertain future. What we do not like to think about it is the other side of the coin that another year of war, based on the current battlefield death rate, means the investment of the lives of another 5,000 young American men on top of the 40,000 already expended to bring about the "just peace" th President seeks.

Another natural tendency is to accept as a fact that since the President announced last summer his intention to Vietnamize the war, this is what has actually occurred with the withdrawal since then of some 108,000 American soldiers. It is based on the assumption that U.S. troop strength at its high point 542,000 men was no more and no less than was absolutely essential. But it that assumption is not valid, if those 100,000 plus troops were mostly excess fat, then what we have witnessed in the past nine or 10 months is not so much "Vietnamization" of the war as "de-Americanization." The President's military advisers fear he has cut away not fat but muscle, and too deeply and too quickly. The President's latest address to the nation was obviously a compromise between pressures from the generals and pressures from any number of other sources, including his own commitment to end the war and his knowledge that the nation will not tolerate very much reneging on that commitment.

That is why 1970 looms as so crucial a year, for it is the year when the real test of South Vietnam's ability to take over its own defense will begin. home!

Ann Landers Still lake the car over furnace or refrigerator Dear Ann Landers: In a recent column you said the safest place to be during an electrical storm is in a car. A number of years ago the National Geographic Society published the results of extensive experimentation with relation to the action of lightning. A car with the driver inside was repeatedly struck with a million volts of man-made lightning. The man in the car suffered no injuries whatsoever.

The tests proved that if only the tires touched the ground and there were no loose parts or other objects in contact with the earth, and if the occupants did not allow any part of their bodies to touch the metal parts of the car, they could not be injured.

night because it has no place to park? Despite spacious garages, a lot of cars get only curb-side accommodations when they reach home after a hard day on the road. The problem: garages so cluttered with' storage that there's no room for the car. The solut on: divide garage space for storage, floors for cars. Key to the project is use of heavy-duty, inch perforated hardboard paneling to provide wall storage. These versatile boards have perforations for hooks and heavy-duty fittings on which to hang a variety of equipment, from tools and garden hoses to weighty mowers and spare tires.

Stackable items paint cans, boxes, and the like fit handily on shelves mounted on pan-el brackets. Everything i off the floor and conveniently stored on the walls. Perforated hardboard can be installed by any do-it-yourself- er. The panels will not dent, mar or scuff, come in a number of sizes (including standard 4 by 8 feet) and can be cut and worked with ordinary carpentry tools. Installation is over studs or furring strips.

At least a quarter-inch clearance from walls must be left behind the panels to allow for insertion of fittings. Since hardboard is a wood product, it's best to allow for natural expansion by not butting panels too closely together. A good rule of thumb is to leave space for the thickness of a matchbook cover between each panel. Perforated hardboard is readily available at local lumber dealers and. building supply stores.

It comes prefinished or ready-to-paint, and in random- grooved or wainscot styles. Tempered panels are available for extra strength and moisture resistance. For further information on the variety and uses of hard board panelings (for garages, kitchens, living rooms, rec rooms, bathrooms, etc.) homeowners can refer to a new full-color, illustrated brochure, "New Dimensions in It's available for 25 cents from the American Hardboard Association, 20 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, 111. 60606. $Raise The Doctor Says Short Ribs By Frank O'Neal THE MtftLQPE PLAY- I 1 By Wayne Brand's tadt It has been nptly said that the wonder is not that we get sick but that, in spite of a constant bombardment by disease germs, we stay well at all.

This feat is accomplished through a variety of protective mechanisms. Germs in the air that find their way into your eyes or mouth are usually killed by a powerful antiseptic called lyso- zyme in your tears and saliva. Those germs that are swallowed without being killed by your sliva are met in your stomach by even stronger antiseptics. Few, if any, are likely to reach your duodenum, just beyond the outlet of your stomach. When you suffer a break in your skin the protective mechanism is a litte more complex.

In the resulting inflammation, chemicals are mobilized at the scene which allow the white blood cells to escape from your capillaries. In an amebalike process, these leukocytes extend their walls around individual invaders and completely engulf them. Even when an infection gains a foothold, as in a boil or abscess, the leukocytes wall off the infection and keep it from spreading your ixxly. If some of the germs get into the lymph channels or blood itream, they find another barrier in one of the thousands of small lymph nodes stationed at itrategic points throughout your body. These nodes may become mlarged and tender but they help to keep the infection localized.

Another important defense mechanism is the foreignbody reaction whereby your blood produces antibodies against the nvaders. Each antibody is specifically tailored to one type of 'oreign protein. It is this immune reaction that, for a variable length of time, prevents a second attack by the same type of organism. A similar immune is responsible for va- less fortunate accompaniment of your protec- ive forces. In the case of influenza and he common cold, the limited to a specific strain and, when a second attack occurs, it is because either your mmunity has gradually disap- or you have acquired a new strain of the vims.

Infants during the first five or six months of life are protected by antibodies transferred from the mother's blood. After he is 6 months old, the child must develop his own antibodies through nfection or vaccination. Please send your questions and comments to Wayne G.

Too often, walls are an innocuous backdrop for furniture when they could be adding visual interest, providing a dramatic accent, or emphasizing room decor. One way to make walls decorative is to them with prefinished hardboard. The paneling is strikingly attractive, sturdy, easy-to-install, and available in a variety of syles.

Depending on their finish, hardboard panels can be elegant, glamorous, casual even exotic. Woodgrains, ranging from light oak to deep walnut, are especially distinctive in formal living or dining rooms, in dens, and in family and recreation rooms. Panel beauty is matched by practicality. The panels take hard wear, resist dents, mars and scuffs, and can be wiped clean with a damp For glamor touches, anywhere from bedrooms to baths, filigree hardboard is an excellent choice. These lacy, openwork panels are extremely durable despite their delicate look.

Decorative filigree is often used as accent paneling or for stylish room dividers, folding screens and connecting doors. Unusual wall treatments are Jossible in recreation area, lobby rooms and hallways with 'textured" hardboard panels hat simulate burlap, wicker, jasketweaves and canes. Em- )ossed louver patterns are at- ractive in dining rooms. Mar- Seized paneling adds elegance to foyers and baths. Many styles are available in decora- or colors, so walls can be blended with ceilings, floors, and furniture fabrics.

There are also plastic-surfaced hardboards for high-humidity areas like kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. They are moisture-resistant and can be scrubbed clean. Hardboard panels are easily installed over furring strips or right on the existing wall. They can be cut and worked with regular carpentry tools, and applied with nails or a cartridge type adhesive. Matching moldings and trim are available with many pre- inished styles.

Informative hints on how to choose and use hardboard are contained in a new full color, llustrated brochure called "New Dimensions in It's available for 25 cents from the ion, 20 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, 111. 60606.

The corner of a lot, tucked away in between fences and shrubs actually offers a good chance to become a most popular part of your yard.

This can be built of western softwood lumber which is easily obtained at any lumber yard. The framing need not be heavier than 2x4 and any small boards can make up the rest of your wood needs.
