The flashy things nuclear test baa talks, disarmament talks, Berlin talks blot out much of the raeat-aod-potato business here at home. That business is President Ken-. nedy's programs. He has dropped a mob of them in Congress' basket After three months of 1962.

College of Physicians report. Dr. Irvine H. Page of Cleveland former president of the American Heart Association, said hypertension and heart attacks "need not remove a man from productive employment 'If their work capacity is rationally assessed," he said, "they can usually work with great effectiveness -and far less absenteeism than average." Dr Wiilianr Cr Menningerr of Topeka, a neuro psychiatrist and president of the Menninger Foundation, reported that the problem of alcoholis is increasing. Menninger said leisure activity is "more of a problem unless we know, how to handle it constructively." He said "all of us, are subject to human frailties" and "if tension increases most of us fee! the pressure of work and business." "Productivity depends on the personality plus the environment," said Menninger.

The rest of his programs are either stuck in committees or have been passed by only one house of Congress and will die of exhaustion from waiting unless the other House also approves.

Two of his major appeals' got a dismal reception. The House killed his plan for a new department of urban affairs and bousing. His plan of federal aid for public schools looks as dead as it did last year.

Also a catalogue that lists a wide selection of records that, will be mailed, on applications, just like books from a circulating library. In conjunction with this government project, a private nonprofit organization called Recordings for the Blind (121 E. 58th St, New York 22, N.Y.) also has a list of educational, text and recreational records as well as readings from daily newspapers. These are read by well-known actors, actresses and radio and television commentators whose voices are familiar to most listeners. Recordings for the Blind distributes its records through 14 units scattered throughout the country.

A To answer the second question first, spots before the eyes are rarely a threat to visual sharpness.

As to causes, they differ. For example, almost everyone notices dark floaters after fatigue or eye strain. So long as these are not persistent, they need no the cause is apparent.

Records by JFK On everything else he is using the jsame tactics as last year.

Using these tactics, strictly professional and unsensa tional, the President works directly on the members of Congress, or through his aides, while avoiding ill-will, harsh words, or appeals to the public to put pressure on Congress. One of the hardest workers on his team is Lawrence O'Brien, Hennedy's chief assistant in dealings with the individuals and committees of Congress. The President's personal popularity, as reflected in the public opinion polls, is astonishingly hih.Soven if-much his over-all program gets massacred, he'll probably remain highly Last week, after a tot of bkkeri ing among Republicans, Kennedy got the Senate to approve his request for authority to buy up to $100 million in U.N. bonds. Now the House has to' act and that may mean another rocky time of it The House, but npt yet the Senate, approved a boost in postal rates.

The Senate also approved a proposed constitutional amendment to wipe out the poll tax as a requirement for voting. Five Southern states still have it. This won't get off the ground unless the House also approves. In the Senate the Southern Democrats filibustered a few days and then let the vote be taken. The filibuster was more a gesture for the benefit of the folks back home than a practical effort' to stop passage.

The- House.p but- not -yet- the Senate, passed a tax-revision measure. House and Senate both approved federal aid for college classroom construction, but they did it differently. This can't beJ come law unless they agree on a compromise. All the other major programs arestUl bogged down in commit, tees. They include emergency power for the President to cut taxes and launch antirecession public works programs; broadening unemployment insurance; a new farm program; new civil rights legislation; continuation of foreign aid program; drastic revision of the foreign trade program.

A You probably have a very annoying but harmless condition called pityriasis, rosea. The rose-: red patches you see have a crin-; kled appearance that resembles cigarette papers formerly used to hand-roll the "makings." However, the condition has nothing to do with tobacco or smoking.

Ordinarily, pityriasis blooms in the spring for some reason of which we are ignorant.

Fischer, a crooiuyn resident, filed his suit-io State Supreme Court Monday against Reshevsky, a resident of Spring Valley, N.Y. Fischer contends that Reshevsky in violation of established chess claimed the 12th game of a scheduled 16-game series on the ground that Fischer failed to appear. He asked the court to direct Reshevsky to continue the series "from the end of the 11th The suit asked no money dam ages.

Reshevsky has 30 days in which to file an answer, Fischer's complaint said he made a contract with Reshevsky for a series of16 james which provided that the winner would receive the major share of the purse. Eleven games had been completed by last Aug. 12 and the score stood at 5V games each, Fischer said. Fischer contends that he had nevenagreed to the time allegedly scheduled for the 12th game and that he was ready to go ahead with the match but Reshevsky refused. Fischer, who won the U.S.
