ROBERT ALLEN PAUL SCOTT FAMILY DOCTOR U.S.-Red Trade Stalled I 2 Vdn Conditions Differ BKLAWAKK COUNTV (PA.) DAILY TIMES 7 Tuesday. February 22, 1986 WASHINGTON President Johnson's plan for a far- reaching liberalization of U.S. trade policies with the Soviet bloc is running into a stalling backlash from the Viet Nam war. So far, he has been unable to persuade any of the ranking me of the powerful House Ways and Means Com- to introduce his bill to relax existing trade barriers -because of the Communist countries' expanding of arms shipments to North Viet Nam And that's not all. The balking legislators are threatening to enact new trade restrictions against Russia and Poland if the White House persists in pressing for action this year on the President's State-of-the-Union request.

THAT'S the blunt report Representative Wilbur Mills, chairman, has made to Democratic House leaders inquiring about the prospects for this proposal in the President's 1966 "Great Society" program. Mills, the first to refuse to sponsor the East-West trade measure, says that committee members are furious at the Soviet bloc's arming of North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong. To forcefully underscore their indignation, Mills and his committee colleagues are preparing to submit to the White House a list of more than 100 Russian and Polish ships regularly carrying weapons to North Viet Nam. THE LEGISLATORS will warn the President there can be no committee approval of his East West trade expansion proposal until the Red regimes unilaterally halt their Viet Nam weapons traffic. To support the administration's measure under existing circumstances, they contend, would be to court "political are against trading with Communists actively helping the Viet Cong." SPREADING REVOLT -This backstage House rebellion already is showing signs of spreading to the Senate, where the President's East West trade plan as propounded in his State-of-the-Union message was greeted with considerable approval.

Now Senator Samuel Ervin, and other senators have taken advantage of joint Armed Services Appropriations Committees hearings on the President's multi bil- lion dollar emergency i Nam budget to voice sharp opposition to his trade move Ervin, in grilling Defense Allen Secretary McNamara, challenged the trade proposal, stating: "I GOT a letter yesterday BERRY'S WORLD from a man who said, '1 don't understand the government. "In the State of the Union message the President recommended that'Congress change the law so as to spur trade with Russia and other Communist countries. "Now, as I see' it, that would enable them to stabilize and retain what Communism has taken, thus far and, at the same time, carry on a war against us in Southeast How do you answer that kind of letter?" "THERE IS an apparent paradox, but I think there is a clear answer to it," replied McNamara. "The trade that we have had with members of the Communist in Europe has, in my opinion, loosened the ties of those countries to the Soviet Union. "I strongly support President's proposal to expand trade with the Commun- 8 19tt by NEA, Inc.

NORTON MOCKRIDGE Lack of Trust Irks NEW YORK-There is a married man in one of our suburbs who, one or two nights a week, leaves his house after dinner to go to a neighborhood pub and hold hands with a buxom, red-haired waitress for whom he's developed quite a fancy. "You know, Matty," he said to a friend the other day at work, "I've been seeing this girl for quite a while. "I get out of the house by telling my wife I'm gonna take the car to the garage to get gas and oil and have the carburetor checked, or maybe I say I gottta go to the bowling alley to pick up the league scores, or something like that. "WELL, anything, she's never said and everything's been just fine. Then, all of a sudden, last night, I casually remarked after dinner that I gotta take the car down to the gas station and have the antifreeze checked.

"And she says: "Oh, don't bother. I'll have it checked "Well, this sort of floors me, but I come up quick with: 'Tomorrow might be too late. The radio says there's goona be a big freeze tonight." "And she says: 'Okay, let's do it tonight. I'll go with you And she goes to the closet for her coat. "'GOSH, I wouldn't do I say.

'Y'see, I'm gonna nave the garage put on a new fan belt, too--the one we got is pretty loose and slippin'-- and I'll have them gas up, and I think the oil better be changed, too, and, while I'm there I'd better have the brakes adjusted. You wouldn't want to wait that 'Oh, sure, I would, she says. And she gives me a very significant look which I don't like for one single minute. I don't know exactly what that look means, but I don't like it at all. 'And so 1 say: "Well, okay, it's your funeral.

You wanta sit in the car for all that time, so, okay, let's "And so I have to take her." "THAT'S too bad," a i Matty. "You don't get to see the redhead, and, besides, you gotta have the guy do all that work on the car." "Yeah," said the poor sufferer, "that's bad enough. But what rcaly burns me is--my wife doesn't trust me!" very good lines in "Sweet addition to a superb performance by Gwen Verdon and great songs by Dorothy Fields and Cy Coleman Am I Going?" "Big Spender" and "Baby, Dream Your one of them still has me laughing. It comes when Gwen walks into the YM-YWCA, inspects the bulletin board's list of events that night, and says to 1 Norton Mockridge the receptionist: "Where is Norman Mailer reading his poetry?" "At home," says the receptionist. "Nobody showed up." Another good lines comes when Gwen, a taxi dancer, explains she's in the "rent-a- body business" and adds: "I don't dance.

I just defend myself to music." SPEAKING of sweet charity, that great American humorist, Harry Hershfield, told me he was approached on the side walk during a theater intermission by a woman rattling coins in a cardboard container. "Give to charity, give to charity," she cried. "What charity is it?" asked Harry. "It's a charity for fallen women," cried the solicitor. Harry waved her away.

"No, no," he said, "I give directly." LEO WILENSKY, currently exhibiting his collection of wrought iron at the National Antiques Show in Madison Square Garden, lives with his wife and children in a modest house in Brooklyn. The interior, however, is vir- tually an early American museum. The rooms contain precious pewter and brass pieces; fine primitives; early crockery; a bed spread, heavily darned, but bearing the stars of the original 13 colonies; tulip hinges; rams' horns; ancient Virginia beds and chests, and a coffee table made from a very old trunk. Shortly after he began to collect these wonderful things, his mother-in-law came to visit the house for the first time. Mrs.

Wilensky showed her from room to room. The lady peered at everything, nodded her head, shrugged her shoulders and said to her daughter: "It's all right, Estelle. Don't worry. God willing, things will be better--you'll buy new." A LOT of people, reading here that my Siamese, Suki, ignores all alcoholic beverages except champagne, which she adores, have written to say that they have cats and dogs win similar tastes. They're all fussy: some will drink nothing but beer; others only brandy.

Some sigh for 7- Up, some cry for creme de menthe. One man said his cat will drink imported champagne but turn up her nose at domestic. "Takes after my wife," he said, rather bitterly. And Robert Graham Wahn was so touched by the item that he sent me two bottles of Mumms '59. "Suki's a connoisseur and she shouldn't have anything but the best," he said.

One bottle was labeled: "For Suki." The other: "For the less important members of the family." I Q--Will exercise help to pre- fvent varicose veins and spider veins? Would vitamins or min- be helpful? I A--There is no relationship bell tween the two conditions. The of spider veins is not but they are aggravated repeated pregnancies, tight ifgarters, tight girdles, sitting the legs crossed or a deft- of vitamin C.

Ervin asked. "Yes, sir," replied McNamara. "I would not encourage trade with Russia that had a direct military utility to the Soviet." "I AM AFRAID the American people do not agree with you," replied Senator Ervin. "Like the writer of this letter, they see trade with Russia as helping an enemy that is trying to destroy us in Viet Nam." Supporting Ervin in his criticism of the administration's move were Senators Richard Russell, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, John Stennis, Thomas Dodd, and Strom Thurmond, MAKING A CASE--Senator Dodd, personal friend of the President, is so concerned about the administration's effort to expand trade with the Soviet bloc while not doing anything to stop their arms shipments to North Viet Nam, that he is sending a stern memorandum to the White White House warning of the disastrous military consequences.

Q--I am 30 and have varicose veins. Does having a sclenting solution injected into the veins cure the condition or just give partial relief? A--The injection of a solution to obliterate the varicose veins is now rarely used except to close off the smaller veins leading to the larger varicosities because the is temporary and the procedure must be repeated from time to time.

"The apostles of concilia- tionism apparently believe that it is equally wrong to be nasty to the Communists and that we must seek, by repeated professions and actions of friendship, to persuade them of our good intentions. "But the hard lesson of history is that, in dealing with totalitarian dictators, professions of good faith, concessions and conciliatory actions in general are construed as manifestations of weakness.

The referendum was called after petitions were signed by 55,000 persons. Spearheading the drive was the Maine Christian Civic League made up of Protestant church groups. Supporters generally argued that the issue was economic, not moral. They said Sunday sales would boost the state's tourist business and as a result the whole economy.

"We seldom go out to eat on Sunday, so personally it made no difference to me. But I thought it would be good for the tourist business. A lot of tourists are used to it," said Mrs. Richard LeBourdais of Yarmouth. 74 SO.
