Seventh Oldest In the Country 16511, Year Established 1796 Humor And The Cold War "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone; for the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough of Us own." Those lines were written more than 50 years ago, a psychiatrist at the University of Pittsburgh thinks they're still good; Dr. James T. McLaughlin told the Pennsylvania Medical Society the other day that humor is more valuable than a jugful of tranquilizers. He said, "In humor we laugh at the shattered dreams so that we need not cry, A few tee-hees or a belly laugh soothes your ego." This could be a whole new approach 'to the mirthless Cold War.

Granted, we have often laughed at the Communists, and they have laughed at us; but there have been few times when we've laughed at ourselves concerning our relationship with the other. Nations may be more like individuals than we've realized. And few healthy individuals can remain angry long after an element of humor has been injected into an otherwise tense situation. The fact is, some of the exchanges between Moscow and Washington in the past several weeks have been' quite hilarious; but we've been too tensed up to appreciate it. Just this week the Russians played a good joke on themselves, if only they could see it.

After a lot of hot air about setting off the biggest man-made explosion in history, and brushing aside pleadings by other nations not to do it, where is most of the radioactive fallout headed? Right back over Russia, according to U.S. Weather Bureau scientists. If the scientists are right, could justice be any more poetic? Whether or not the Soviet Union is able to see the current situation as a joke on itself, it's still posible that on the Cold War level, as on the individual level, a little laughter might go a long way. Anyway, it's about the onlyUhing we haven't tried. Cold Weather Rules Now that cold weather seems to be nearly iipon us, we would remind.

readers of some important safety' tips to guard against carbon' monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide, you know, is the colorless, odorless, tasteless gas expelled by an automobile's exhaust system. Here is what Today's Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, urges: Leave at least one window open on cold days. If there's gas leakage, the fresh air will dispell most of it. Keep, the front vents of your car closed when driving in traffic.

Your vent can suck in exhaust fumes from the car ahead of you. If you park for more than a minute or two with the engine running, open a window several inches. Wide open is even safer. Make sure that exhaust, 'muffler and manifold are tight and free of leaks. It's worth paying a few dollars to a mechanic, to guard against gas poisoning.

If you feel sleepy on the highway at night, it might be the late hour, or it-might be carbon monoxide. Whatever the cause, get off the road and take a nap. It may save your life.

During all the years that Franklin D. Roosevelt was President of the United States he exhibited a strong dislaslc for Herbert Hoover. In fact, Roosevelt's press agent, Charley, Mlchelson, devoted li'mself lo tarnishing Mr. Hoover's reputation ar.d undoubtedly brought upon him great misery. On the other hand, no sooner had Harry Truman become President than he enlisted Hoover's services and he kept.him al work steadily during his administration.

I am reminded of Ihis by a let- ler from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Hugh Gibson, who was llrcn minister lo Poland. The letter is dated January 2, 1920. Rooscvell al lhal time was Ihe Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Hoover was the food administrator of the Western World. I shall quote two pertinent paragraphs of Roosevelt's letter lo Gibson: "MANY THANKS for your Christmas'card.

It is good to hear from you and we gel occasional scraps of news about you and your work in Poland. I envy you the experience in many ways, and congratulate you also on the splendid way you are handling things. "II must be wonderfully interesting--certainly far more so than in Washington al Ihis particular time. I had some nice lalks with Herbert Hoover before he went West for Chrislmas. He is certainly a wonder, and 1 wish -we cculd make him Prcsidenl of Ihe United States.

There could not be a heller one." At that lime the Democrats wanted to nominate Hcrber Hoover as a Democratic candidate for president. I was then living in China and was very closely associated wilh Tong Shao-yl whose family had employed Herbert Hoover as an engineer, which started his career. The Republicans sent emissaries lo China to get the dirt on Hoover. The story they spread was lhat Hoover had robbed Ihe Chinese. Tong Shao- yl, who had been the lasl Prime Minister under the monarchy and the first under the republic, came lo Hoover's defense.

I a present at all the sessions between Tong and the Republicans and know how disappointed they were that tlicy could not find any evidence againsl one who was to be a Democratic candidate for President. SOME YF.ARS emissaries showed up in Shanghai for the same purpose, thai is, lo smear Herbert Hoover. Again they came to Tong Shao-yi who was the eider of the r'an which had employed Hoover. The Democrats did no belter than Hie Republicans, except lhat Tong offered to come to the Unilcd Slates le defend Hoover if In 1930, I made a visit to the United Slates and called on Herbert 'Hoover in the While House to bring him greetings from his friends in China. They felt about Ihis man as Franklin Roosevelt did in 1920.

The years have passed. Hugh Gibson is dead and a younger generation hardly remembers one of our foremost diplomats w'ho played a great part In the years after World War I.

Possibly it gained nothing, lost much.

For Ihc lime being it can'l tell which. This much Is clear: Khrushchev emerged from Ihc congress stronger than ever. He fallible Stalin might have done. One of those opposite policies is his efforl to represent hlmse'f as much more reasonable than the hard-nosed Stalin, as a man who believes in "peaceful coexistence." His very "reasonableness" Is supposed to be Ihe root of Ihe (rouble between him and the old Bolsheviks, the Red Chinese and the Albanians. But what Ihc Wcsl can't be sure of is whether the reasonableness is real or a grand device to soften it into concessions.
