Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-Home is scheuled fly to Peking at the end of October for the first visit by a top-ranking British cabinet minister to the Chinese capital since the Communist revolution. British officials hope this could lead to genuinely warm relations between the two gov- ernments. Heath has also said he hopes to pay a similar visit sometime, although officials say.

Britain's charge d'affaires John Addis was named ambassador to China. Peking followed suit' in May by naming Sung former ambassador to East Germany, to be its ambassador in London.

LONDON (UPI)-Britain, like the United States, is busy polishing up her once badly tarnished relations with China. Less than five years after Chinese mobs sacked the British diplomatic mission in Peking, at the height of the cultural revolution, there is serious talk of a visit by Prime Minister Edward Heath to the Chinese capital. Britain more than 20 years ago was among the first Western countries to recognize China and break off diplomatic relations with Taiwan. But relations were never really warm. The two countries maintained diplomatic missions in each others' capitals headed only by charges d'affaires instead of full ambassadors.

Trade between them was on a small scale. Britain's flourishing crown colony of Hong Kong on the Chinese coast was a source of chronic friction. This came to a head in the summer of 1967 when the colony was racked by Communist-inspired rioting. It was soon after this that the British diplomatic mission in Peking was sacked. Anthony Grey, correspondent of the British Reuters News agency in Peking, was arrested and hald prisoner for months in his own home.

But a little more than a year ago, Britain joined the United States in the experiment of "ping pong diplomacy." A visiting British table tennis team was as warmly received in Peking as was an American squad. Britain backed U.S. moves to admit China to the United Nations. THE DIPLOMATIC payoff came on March 13 when Britain and China announced establishment of full diplomatic Patriotism Is Theme Of Speech A plea for a return to "good wholesome patriotic American-ism'' was made today at a luncheon meeting of Tallahassee Kiwanans by the national vice commander of the American Legion. Arthur MacCarthy, who is also a sales promoter for General Office Equipment, warned that revolution was being spread throughout the nation by "enemies from within," supported by the Communists.

"One need only glance at the newspaper headlines to realize the seeds of revolution are being sown throughout America today. Riots, demonstrations, acts which show disrespect to our flag, disrespect for high government officials, and disrespect for law and order have become a way of life for far too many Americans," MacCarthy said. "The freedoms our forefathers fought and died to obtain are now being used to weaken and divide this great republic of ours." MacCarthy said that acts of treason are now being justified as freedom of speech and riot and insurrection is today called freedom of assembly. "More and more we are witnessing armed rebellion against American society," he said. "More and more we are witnessing a display of hatred for the United States and a contempt for its laws and institutions." What is needed, said MacCarthy, is a "personal program of action, recognizing that everyone has definite duties and obligations to his home, church, job and, above all.

to his country. "Our enemies' plan is to lull us to sleep with a form of slow poison. They keep eating away at the very foundation of our democracy. They creep inci-diously into our schools and our churches and there try to seduce, if possible, the thinking of our people and our children." he said. But now is the time to wake up, he said; our nation "stands today at the crossroads." MacCarthy said it was up to each person to decide which road he would take and by that decision determine how strong or how weak Americans are as individuals.

Now, with consumer groups charging that hundreds of thousands of persons have bought lots in Florida only to find there is virtually no resale market, the land industry is trying to polish up its blemished image.

eral Office of Interstate Land Sales said his agency was referred to as a "paper tiger" until George K. Bernstein took over as administrator three months ago. Today, at both the state and federal levels, there are rumblings of a crackdown on the wilderness merchants. At the same time, some giant land sales firms have been taking a beating in courtrooms across the country in recent months. THE AGENCY has set a series of hearings in key states, including Florida, looking for violations of the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act of 1968, the act that requires the developer to state in writing to the buyer what improvements he intends to make in the property and when.

"The thing we don't know and what we're trying to find out is what the salesmen are NAPLES (UPI) Florida's swamp peddlers sometimes operate in "boiler rooms" with banks of telephones and closed-circuit television to warn of an approaching investigator. That precaution seems superfluous. The state Division of Land Sales only has three investigators to police 639 registered subdivisions and a $1.5 billion-a-year industry. For years the now-abolished Florida Land Sales Board was accused of being soft in its enforcement because the board was controlled by appointees from the land sales industry. Those charges reached a high pitch in 1967 when the old Gulf American Land pleaded guilty to five counts of fraudulent and deceptive sales methods, including lot switching, and got a 30-day suspension and a $5,000 fine.

"We have very strong suspicions that it's quite a bit different from what's contained in the property reports." Bernstein, who wears two hats as federal insurance administrator, feels strongly that the agency is a consumer protection organization, McDowell said. "Since he took over," McDowell said, "we've gotten one criminal conviction, three or four indictments pending, and suspensions of really major outfits running out the ears." Reacting to charges that the Florida Land Sales Board was just a land sales lobby group, Gov. Reubin Askew abolished the board.

"LET US ALL BEGIN today to try to develop in those with whom we come in contact, a sense of personal responsibility and a better understanding of the importance of their maintaining high moral standards," MacCarthy said.

"Let us emphasize to them the need for constant devotion to religious principles and the necessity for preserving law and order. Let us try to revive self-reliance as the true American way of life instead of looking to the government for more and bigger handouts." MacCarthy said the "loop holes" in the laws should be plugged up to prevent "punks" from going "scot-free" time after time. He said it was time to "demand that criminals be treated as criminals" and that the hands of the police not be shackled. "If you want to help get America back on the track," MacCarthy said, "Let's stop going to see those filthy double highly restricted movies and dirty stage shows.

"Let us all start setting the right kind of example through our everyday lives and above all, let's get prayer and trust in, and reverence for, a supreme being back into our national way of life." MacCarthy said it was time to "stand up and be counted," to make the real voice of America heard" if there is going to be any hope to defeat the "all-out" campaign bein waged by the Communists to capture the minds of today's youth.
