This is the one day of the year that separates the men from the boys when it comes to the matter of dealing with the feminine gender. Women, generally the stern realists of the human race, seem to come apart at the seams at this season. They appear lost in a cloud of moonbeams. Their usual whims of iron become whims or molasses. They are alternately demanding and placating, wistful and petulant.

"What gets into women around Valentine anyway?" the ordinary "What do they A 'childiMay'ibelieVe in' Santa Claus all year round, tout it is the present it funds urider the tree at Christmas that confirms its -belief. Women are like about Jove. Through most of. year 'a rnan can. talk 'them into 'believing he loves them dearly, tout at Valentine they want; something more in the way of proof, tlian conversation.

The age or size- of the present you give them isn't so important, Often a small spring of old dia-, rrionds will please them as much as a toig heavy new mink coat. The main thing is that you remom- bertoer them in a special way. PERILOUS FOB BACHELOR The bachelor, of course, is in special peril at this time. He may find that the (box of candy he buys a girl Valentine will wind up by June into a honeymoon he has to pay for on the installment plan. How can the cagey bachelor please his girl at Valentine and still commit himself Here is a good sound tip: Present her with an Irish Sweepstakes ticket.

It her horse wins, she'll have enough dowry to set him up in business. If her horse loses, he can then tell her, "So long, kid. It's been nice knowing you, but I gave you your chance. You can't expect an ambitious guy like me to tie himself up, for life to a hard luck danie like you." MARRIED MEN, TOO What about the married man? Well, oddly enough, Valentine's Day Is no longer merely a single girl's racket. Wives have muscled into it on a wholesale scale, A wife expects something extra from her husband on this day ded- icated to Ipve, even if she hns to chivvy her forgetful mate into presenting her with a black eye.

But such is the understanding nature. of most wives, however, that it isn't really' difficuli to please them, toles their gentle souls, SUGGESTIONS H.ere are a few suggestions how to surprise your wife Valentine's Pay and still remain solvent: 1, Send her the biggest, mushiest, most red ribbon bedecked card you can find, but remember aot to use yoiir business signature. Jf she ever you by a pot name, sign Statistics show that more misbands than men buy the sentimental three- buck Valentines, 2, Aye you a da-iyourself fan? Cayye up one Pf your Wds' id yo- yos into ft with a card and box it reading: "No othvr girl in the world could strin, but you, baby." if you're ii real I'and want to save buy a gooey dime card, and sign it with one of your wife's old high school lovers. Then she proudly shows it to you, throw a real jealous fit. That'll put her on the defensive.

On other hand, if she doesn't show it to you, you may have something to worry, about a lot more serious than Valentine's Day. 4. If you loaf at home while your wife goes to work, at least put into her iunchbox a sandwich tied with a toit of old lace and a cloth forget-me-not. 5. Should you want to give her a real present, don't give anything sensible like an automatic dishwasher.

Make, it something romantic but impractical, such as "a girdle same she wore, her.

Ambassador Says Nationalists Will Defend To Last Man SEATTLE wft, i-o aiist China will defend Matsu Islands "to last, man, if necessary," Ambassador V. K. Wellington Koo said Monday night.

Koo, who recently returned from Formosa, told the China, Club' of Seattle, loss of the outpost Islands would expose Formosa, and the Pescadores "and it would be more difficult to defend them." Noting that some Europeans and Asians advocate turning the islands over to the Chinese Communists as a gesture of peace, the ambassador declared: "I know is a big theme but a little thinking will show that with Communist for that matter all gets nowhere. "It only tends to inteaslfy their lust and provoke greater demands on their part." REPLACEMENTS EXPECTED SAN FRANCISCO (ffl Steven one week had two teeth pulled Monday.

Tuesday, 261st figue of'IOtft Associated KRUSHCHEV ELLS WORLD PEACEFUL COEXISTED ONLY ALTERNATIVES; REDS INVINCIBLE By StANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW'WP) Nlkita S.

Khrush chev told the world Tuesday "there, are only two roads, peace fill coexistence or war," and de olared: the Communist bloc is now invincible. The Soviet Communist Parly boss, pictured the Western position as while the Soviet Un ion and Its' Red associates grow stronger. But the warning was accompanied by a statement that war is not Inevitable. AT CONGRESS 'Khrushchev spoke before cheer- Ing delegates at the 20th congress of the Soviet Communist Party in the Kremlin, the first such gathering, of the post-Stalin era. He laid- down a five-point foreign policy which improvement of relations' with the United States, Britain; arid France was one key point.

1 Maintenance of the "defense potential of the Soviet Union" was Khrushchev said Russia rriu'st. not -lag behind the Western powers -in armaments. "TJie principle feature of our epoch Is the emergence of social- Ism (communism) from the confines of one country and its trans, formation into a world system," Khrushchev said. CAN'T STOP It "Capitalism has proved impotent to hinder this world historic process. The simultaneous existence of two opposed world'' economic systems, of capitalism and socialism, developing 'according to different laws in the opposite direction has become an irrefutable fact." He said that violent revolution is not necessary now to bring about a socialist state.

FIVE POINTS The five principles of Soviet foreign policy outlined by Khrushchev were: "1. Respect for coexistence. "2. Strengthened relations with the people's democracies (Soviet satellites), "3. Strengthened friendly relations with India, Burma, Afghanistan and countries not belonging aggressive military blocs.

UNSAYS REDS (ffi A nluhists of bringing: military supplies and warplanes into; North "in cynical violation, of-the armistice," The U.N. halt. It also for an accounting of all military shipments into North Korea since the armistice was signed years ago. The new senior Allied member of the Joint Armistice Commission, Rear Adm. Walter E.

Moore, made the charges in a meeting with Chinese and Korean Communist members. The U.N. Command said "mili- ary men the world over" could that the North Korean Reds were beefing up their forces despite their reports to the contrary. Moore accused the Communists of "a childish attempt to deceive he Swiss and Swedish delegates" of the Neutral Nations Commission charged with checking on armistice conditions. Communist Polish and Czech of- Tcials also serve on the neutral commission, TOPPED CHECKS Moore charged that the Reds had 1 prevented four truce iinspec- ion teams from making checks 'that would certainly have proved your side wals guilty of illegal entry of combat aircraft." He asked the Reds' to explain heir report that 163,054 troops, he equivalent of at least 15 divisions, are "absent on temporary duty of leave" from North Korea.

Moore pointed out that the comparable Allied figure is only 11,870. NDONESIA-DUTOH BREAK JAKARTA, Indonesia W) has broken its last political ies with The Netherlands, charging the Dutch with insincerity efforts to work out healthy mu- ual relations. The government says it will follow the political break with cancellation of all fl- lancial, economic and cultural reaties between the two nations.

Remain vigilant while there are still people who wish to threat en peaceful coexistence and main tain the defense potential of the Soviet Union." FRIENDS WITH U.S. "We wish to be on good terms with the U.S.A." Krushchev flak in his keynote speech whose mile tone was in startling contrast to a savage attack he made in the Supreme recently.

It also was mild compared to the belligerent attitude adopted by. former Premier Malenkov when he made the opening address to the last Communist congress in 1952. "Because of this we have proposed a treaty," Khrushchev said in a reference to offers of a friendship pact with the United States. Speaking vigorously he told the delegates this "is nob to say we are weak. We existed before having diplomatic relations with the United States.

We propose a treaty which can be useful for both countries. There are only two roads, peaceful coexistence or war." TI.MKS CHANGED Khrushchev recalled the Marx. ist-Leninlst premise that wars are inevitable while imperialism exists, but added under today's conditions "there is no fatal inevitability of war." He added: "The socialist camp is invincible. The position of the imperialist forces is becoming weaker, not only because their aggressive policy is rejected by the peoples of their countries but also because for the rstery Letter Enters Burgess, MacLean Case LONDON (yd Security officers are investigating a mystery letter addressed by an unidentified American to Britain's renegade diplomat Donald MacLean.
