1873. Unfortunately, trade with either country involves political considerations. The British had a theory, when they quickly recognized Red China, that their enormous trade in China would be restored to them. It has not restored. Although they have earned some profits in Hongkong, they have had a very touph time of it in Shanghai, Harkow and any interior city.

Most of their business in such places has en taken from them, The g'eat advantage of early recognition of the Red Chinese government has not been demonstrated. India has discovered how perilous friendship with Red China is and most Indians are frightened by the consequences of their country having acted almost as an agent for Red China in the United Nat ons through Krishna Men-on. The fact of the matter is that while Menon has been speaking for Soviet Russia in the United Nations, the Communists established a base in India, in Kerala, a province containing a high percentase of unemployed intellectuals. From thh ba they a'-e imp" riling the Congress Party and the position of Nehru. This is not an ununial Communist tactic and is oflen overlooked or even denied by n- Communists who fail to grasp that the ethics, morals, etiquettes of the two of life are different and contradictory.

What seems terribly wrong to us is apparently right to them. The businessman often believes that raising the standard of living of a people will drive off the Communist menace. Clarence B. Randal! once put it this way; of living are frightful in some of these (under-developed) countries, as low a.s one hundred dollars per year per capita. If a country has only one hundred dollars per capita, double that and you have a terrific change in the buying power.

The genera'ions that are to follow, our grandchildren, will not hold us blameless if we permit these vast resources and these vast markets to come under the Soviet sway." There is truth in his statement of the appalling standard of living in many of these countries, but th -it does not explain why in every country, the Communist Party does not emerge from the masses but from the middle class and the intellectuals. In net one single instance did a Communist success develop out (rf a la Highway Dilcmnu Fair Enough -J mj I i Vice President Nixon rice wroie: significant th ng about the Communist empire and its growth is that this empire did not expand by traditional methods of military but by revolution in Soviet Union, civil war and tevolut on in China, a coep d'etat in Czechoslovakia. It is true that military power in nianv instances was an esc dial ingiei.ct for the expansion of the Communist empire through non-mililary means. But it is also true tiuii Communists did not resort to overt military aggression in the traditional way in which empires in the pa have been built." It is so important, in any attempt to understand the age in which we live, to realize that the Soviet Universal State never -employs orthodox means to accomplish ual pur-po'r-. That is what confuse so many.

They connect our homes aid farms with towns where we shop and work. The American Automobile Association estimates that RO per cent of all driving is on such roads. Highway officials find themselves in a dilemma. They need all the Federal aid funds that are available to build fast, smooth primary roads for tomorrow's expected increase in driving. At the same time, they cannot afford to neglect the existing roads that handle today's needs.

Much can be done iq maka older roads safer with moderate, wise expenditures, Pavements can be repaired, easily visible center and edge strip, added, shoulders graded and widened, and sight distances improved by trimming trees and shrubs and removing obstructions. I specially needed, according to safety experts, are good markings of hazards the unseen curve ahead, the narrow bridge, the pavement bump. Because roads are notoriously dangerous after dark, new traffic signs and hazard warnings are made of special materials that gleam brightly under headlight and give drivers 21-hour warning of the hazard. Everybody agrers that it will be years before we can remove all hazards from old roads and build the necessary new roads. It would seem wise to make the roads we already have as safe as possible.

Yet th older, secondary ro.id-i cany mo.t Doctor Says by Edwin Jordan This is the time of year when I begin to get an increasingly large number of questions regarding cold sores.

This common disordor also goes under the name of "fever blisters." The correct scientific name is herpes simplex. Few of us escape trouble with fever blisters at one time or another, most commonly around the lips or no e. This must be classed as an ailment rather than a dangerous disease, since only rarely is this condition associated with serious complications. But some people have recurring trouble with herpes simplex. For example, one young lady I know gets cold sores on her lips practicably every time she catches a cold, loses sleep" or stays out in the strong sun too long.

She gets most annoyed about this, Most cold sores come rather suddenly and are associated with some infection or event which apparently lowers our resistance. They generally clear up in a relatively short time withcu'. much difficulty. The apparent reason for those which return to us is because the virus which causes the condition lies quietly within the cells, but can at any time become active again if the resistance is lowered by such things as infection, fatigue or exposure to strong sunlight. The treatment of an ordinary cold sore is simple.

During the blister stage a drying application, such as spirits cf camphor or calamine F.tion. is usually helpful. When th? blister has broken and a cru-t is formed, a nvld ointment, such rs a heavy co'd cream, may help, to soften the crusts. Another treatment that sometimes helps is to use smallpox vaccination. Smallpox is another disease caused by viruses (though much more seious, rf course) and perhaps there is some relftionsh'p between the viruses not jet understood.

An interesting account of what sometimes happens with this form of treatment comes frcm Mrs. E. She wrote that has had cold sores more often than net for the last 20 years. About five years ago i-h? asked her doctor for smallpox vaccinatum which he gave her. Then she had no more cold sores until four years later.

On request, a different physician vaccinated her for smallpox again, the fevet blisters disappeared and she hopes she will be free of them for another four years. We can join her in that hope. bor union movement. This is not a proletarian movement, although Karl Marx said it would be, but then he, himself, was strictly middls class, his associate Engcls was a rich manufacturer and his wife was of the German aristocracy. A high standard of living does not save the world from anything, not even the excesses of a high standard of living, More and more errors are going to be made in our judgments about the Soviet Universal State as our bankers and industrialists grow more desperate for new -markets.

They see great areas on the map which remain closed to them and they want them opened up. But they will not, be opened up. If Mao Tze tung were elected President of the Security Council of the United Nations, those areas would not be realistically opened to foreign trade and foreigners because that is not the purpose of this revolution and they do not need what we say we can offer them. What they do need, they can now obtain within the Soviet Universal State which is an economic as well, as political unit based upon a Marxist concept of non-capitalist economics. By Wcsthrook Pcglcr a long, heart-rending series of misfortunes down to the date of the faux pas that Miss Torre put in the paper.

Miss Torre got ten days for contempt. She is appealing to the Supreme Court. With this preparation might you care to hear my opinion that Miss Torre has no privilege because no journalist has any mandate or license from the public or any public authority? (Be it noted further in these brackets that the privilege of lawyers, doctors and clergy, though a mere pre-emption bolstered by public acquiescence, is nevertheless a reality often invoked by the wicked for wicked ends.) There are many societies of editors, publishers and ink stained" wretches who hold frequent conventions, mostly in New with forays into Washington for the jovial obsequies of the Gridiron Club and levees by the president. They include a "fraternity" of brothers about as inornate, harmonious and idealistic as a casual selecton of an equal number from the New York phone book. Their founding father, in a book which I cherish as a personal gift, naively depicts this august bund in its Hoosier infancy as a collegiate version of Huck Finn's venture in Arcanum.

But there are no qualifications that a journalist is bound to meet; no moral or intellectual standards that any authority may hold him to. Nor is there any slightest author-ity in the constitution or law for the common assumption that the press holds credentials from the people and or their government. Any person may be a journalist and the roster of the most prosperous and famous pundits of the era since the first world war is sufficient to discredit any claim that the magnates of this raffish impudence have been diligent to deserve privilege or even respect. They have included prizefighters, ballplayers and malignant guttersnipes from the dark doorways of the New York forties. The Saturday Evening Post has selectively published biographies of George Raft, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mickey Cohen in a wanton affront to the standards of George Harrace Lor mer.

And Marshall Field took a wild fling at "the newspaper game" in New York with a filthy exploit parallel to the Communist line in which he wallowed in depravity so gross that in the long run even the Reds turned pale and queasy, unswallowed and slunk away. In a visit with John Fox of Boston, who bought the grubby but historic and influential Boston Post and lost it in a weird political whipsaw. I heard this clever alumnus of Harvard law naively declare that his personal decision to support Jack Kennedy instead of Henry Lodge in 1952 elected Kennedy and changed the course of destiny. Agreed that Fox, a devotee of Joe McCarthy, did defeat Lodge for opposing McCarthy's earliest attack on Alger Hiss, and waiving the proposition that Fox changed the course of desrinj', I pounced on the fact that he, a mere financial adventurer, by smearing black ink on white paper undoubtedly did have great power over public opinion. We agreed that, somehow, the printed word has a fearsome power over the mind of man.

But. nimble as Fox is and a credit to the instruction of Felix Frankfurter, whom he abhors, he could not justify this freak, nor even explain it except to say that people are indomitably They believe the printed word by whomsoever published. Mr. Fox, himself, has suffered injustice by the same device, but we concluded that it were worse than ever to submit the press to license and regulation. So, Miss Torre has no But phe could assert with perfect logic and unassailable truth that it is not her business to help a litigant advance a lawsuit.

Let Miss Garland dig up her own evidence. But unfortunately, the Federal courts in their advanced corruption wrou-ht by judges in collusion with the racket cf the bar have created a law for the financial profit of their evil trade which offers every one of us a choice between jail for contempt or difficult, degrading service in the role cf rat or squealer in suits that often are a p-ocess of extortion by blackmail under judicial subpoena.

Retain the long-standing tradition that the Senate is a "cv.nt nuing" bxiy by providing specifically that the Senate's rules continue from one session to the next. Russell said he would oppose such a change "hut there is no denying that it has great strength in the Senate." "It is quite posible that something of that sort will come out of this if we can get out of the constitutional bog in which the vice president seems determined to engulf us," Russell said. He referred to Vice President Richard M.

Nixon's ruling during a similar attempt to tighten the anti filibuster rule at the start of the last Congress. That move failed on a 55-28 roll call vote. At that time. Nixon sa in an advisory ruling that it would be unconstituional tradition notwithstanding if the Senate could not by majority vole change its rules at the start of a new session. Proponents of a tougher filibuster curb hpe for similar support from the vice president when they test that thesis with a new filibuster rule in January.

At least eight proposals to make it easier to curb talkathons have been offered in recent years. A couple would require a o-thirds vote in the early phases of debate Fut only a majority vote after the debate has gone on for a time possibly two weeks. I WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) said Tuesday that it was "quite possible" the Senate would vote to tighten its controversial anti filibuster rule when the new Congress meets in January.

But Russell, leader of the Southern Democratic bloc in Congress, said he did not think the senate would go so far as to permit debate to be choked off by a simple majority vote. He also made clear he opposed any change in the filibuster rule. Stiffening of the anti-filibuster rule could lead to Senate passage of stronger civil rights legislation which will be sought next session by several Northern senators representing both parties. Congress in 1957 pushed through the first civil rights bill in some SO years. However, it was a compromise measure, and did not stir up an all-out talkathon although some Dixie senators waged a stubborn Iasi-ditch fight against the earn re.

It now takes two-thirds of the full Senate membership or 64 of the 96 senators to siiut off debate. Some Northern senators want to trim this to a simple majority of those senators present and voting.
