S. J. Van Pelt advises bald-headed men that relaxation is the best way to keep a head of hair. "Relaxing is probably the best restorer of hair," he said, "relaxation will dispel tension and give the hair a chance." Van Pelt Is president of the British Society of Medical Hypnotists. "Raising hope," he said in an interview, "may even raise hair.

So, avoid depressing a rks about baldness being inevitable or hereditary. Hope yourself into a head of hair." It was suggested that the doctor take a look at the reporter's bald dome. "Well." said Van Pelt, hedging a little, "you can lalways hope, but, er, frankly, you perhaps should have started hoping some years ago. However, don't give up. Just keep thinking you have lots of hair himself.

He said men tend to bottle up their emotions, whereas women are more likely to let go and obtain relief in a flood of tears. "Men use their brains more than women," he said. "No doubt increased torain activity drains blood from the scalp and starves the hair." The doctor said that men who can let themselves go and express their innermost feelings in various ways are inclined to have more hair than other men.

TtUphofo Marine Sergeant's Trial Opening Today Spotlights Training Methods The By CHARLES WEST PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. UPI general court martial of Matthew C.

McKeon opened here Monday with the defense making a told to sever for later trial all charges relating to drinking. McKeon, a former drill instructor Worcester, is charged with manslaughter in the April .8 drowning of six Marine recruits under his command. Other charges accuse him of oppression of recuits, possession of alcoholic 'beverages and drinking in the presence of a recruit. Defense Attorney Emlle Z. Herman of New York City asked the court's law officer, who decides the 'legal questions the trial, to eliminate two drinking charges.

Berman made the motion and presented his arguments with members of the court panel ex- cased from the courtroom. Berman claimed that both drinking charges are minor and prejudice the case. He pointed out that neither of the sjraver charges mentions alcohol. He said he did not ask for "a final disposition" of the drinking charges, only that they not be considered by this court. The law officers, Navy Capt.

I. N. Klein, continued to hear arguments from both sides about Berman's motion but has made no ruling yet. McKeon, ram-rod stiff but missing the deep tan customary for his fellow Marines at this Southern training base, was present in the courtroom. He repeatedly moistened his lips, cast glances about the roam and fumbled nervously with his hands.

Also present in the courtroom were McKeon's Wife, jLlizabeth; his brother, former Marine Sgt. James R. McKeon of Worcester; and hLs sister, Miss Mary Hanratty, also of Worcester, THE ISSUE Both the defense and Marine Commandant, Gen. Randolph Pate, agreed that McKeon's trial has become almost incidental. The larger issue, both said, Is whether the Marines past methods of turning out hardened, disciplined fighting men were justified and, if so, was McKeon merely following known customs.

In a called meeting with newsmen Sunday, Berman relented copies of correspondence with Navy Secretary Charles a. Thomas. Berman complained in letter to Thomas dated July that drill instructors on this 41 year old training base have been rt'lucttuit to "discuss the truth" about past training practices. He asked for a "widely publicized" order from the secretary promising no reprisal against any Marine as a result of testimony. Thomas replied that he had "utmost confidence" in the men of the Marine Corps and did riot feel such an order justified.

Senator Suggests Referendum On Hells Canyon WASHINGTON Sen. Neuberger suggested in the Senate Monday a November referendum in 'Oregon, Washington and Idaho to settle the Hells Canyon Dam issue. Sen. Qoldwater (R-Arlz) opposed the idea. He said it would be "improper" and "undemocratic" to let the three states "decide how the other 45 states' tax money is going to be spent." Neuberger has been active In a move to build a single huge dam on the Snake River near the Oregon-Idaho border as a federal project.

Goldwater backs a rival plan of Idaho Power which has been licensed by the Federal Power Commission to build three power plants. Neuberger said in a Senate speech he would favor "a truce until the people have spoken" in a tristate referendum in November. Under it, the Idaho Power Co. would cease work oa Its three- dam project. Backers of the single high dam rival plan would halt their fight until the referendum had chosen between the two.

Each side would agree to abide by the results. session. "I will accept the verdict," Neuberger said. Legislatures of the three states, he said, could place the Issue on the ballots at a one-day special session. replied he considered is a matter for the people of the entire United States to decide." He said he "can't for the life of me" see why three states should have the sole decision.

Neuberger said: "The people of Idaho, Oregon and Washington and their descendants for many to come are the folks who Will have to live with the decision reached at Hells Canyon, They are the people who will benefit from one verdict and suffer from another. They have the most at stake." RUSS CALL FOR HALT IN TESTING NUCLEAR ARMS MOSCOW Ufl The Soviet Union Monday called on the United States and Britain to agree that all three countries will stop test- Ing nuclear weapons. 'Dmitri Shepilov, making his first public address here since tale- Ing over from V. M. Molotov as foreign minister, told 1,300 delegates' to the Supreme Soviet this aim could be achieved in any one of three ways.

He listed these as: 1. Within the framework of the United Nations. 2. A tripartite agreement among the three powers concerned, which other countries could Join later. 3.

Separate official statements from each government declaring they were abandoning nuclear tests. (In Washington, American officials said they were opposed to any scheme for ending tests of atomic and hydrogen weapons, unless this ban is part of a controlled disarmament program. (Shepllov's proposal, they said, Is not new and In effect Is similar to an Indian plan rejected by the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada at the U.N. last week. PROPAGANDA The Soviet foreign minister's move in reiterating the Russian stand appeared to these officials as an effort to reap propaganda advantages from the current dead lock by advancing a proposal which the Western powers have already turned down.) Shepilov urged the three-way agreement shortly after the Supreme Soviet, meeting In the Kremlin, unanimously adopted an appeal addressed to all other parliaments In the world to Join with the Soviet Legislature in demand- Ing an end to the arms race and swifter progress toward disarmament.

His statement came in a debate on a motion, later adopted unanimously, extending Soviet support to an appeal from the Japanese Parliament for an end to nuclear weapons tests. The Soviet action came Just a week before the scheduled start of peace treaty talks with the Japanese. The Soviet Union, as a part of its propaganda campaign, long has advocated an end to atomic bomb tests, but has continued to test its own devices nevertheless.

Richard Baxter, area coordinator for search and rescue of the State Aeronautics Commission, said the missing Piper Tri-Pacer, piloted by Wall, left Ellensburg Saturday on a four-hour flight over the Coulee Dam area.

It failed to return here as scheduled Saturday night. Search planes which criss. crossed over the area Sunday failed to find a trace of the red and gray plane.
