Many persons have ruefully become ware of this on finding that they really neither need nor want something they have bought at the door from a fast-talking salesman. Usually all these crestfallen buyers can do is resolve that next time they will not be so foolish.

But a legislative move is afoot to give "out" to such victims of tht hard sell. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson of Washington has proposed a bill providing a three-day-cooling-off period during which sales made by door-to-door salesmen can be canceled. Sen.

Magnuson is chairman both of the Senate Commerce committee and of its special subcommittee on consumer problems, so that his views have particular weight. In addition, the proposal has been endorsed by the Federal Trade commission and the administration. All this should give the bill a good chance of passage. The purpose of the Magnuson bill is good, and the means proposed appear sound. This approach would not hurt legitimate business, but it would go far to curb here-today-and-gone-tomorrow sellers of I shoddy articles and services which cost money that could be better spent.

Metallic rocks WE HAD A BIRTHDAY dinner for our little clan and. in the around the table discussion that followed, two questions often asked were tossed about. 1) Why doesn't the USA, declare war since we have had 20,000 American fighting men killed, and our involvement in Vietnam is in depth? 2) We are approaching the so-called tornado and hurricane season.

"Are we any safer from these death dealing violent storms than before? From what I have read and from posing the question to some Indiana congressmen, here are some of the reasons President Johnson shows no Inclination of asking a formal declaration of war on North Vietnam. Personally, I do not defend the viewpoint. In the conduct of the military operations in Vietnam, the President, under powers invested in him as of all our Armed Forces, can do everything now without a formal declaration of war. There has been no declaration of a war since World War II. There was no declaration of war when we went into Korea.

A state of "national emergency" was declared in the Korean conflict and it is still in effect. Congress enacted by vote of both House and Senate, almost unanimously, the Southeast Asia Authority, popularly known as the Tonkin Gulf resolution. This declaration said the U.S.-A. is "prepared, as the President determines, to take all necessary steps, inutunjpthe use of Armed Force to assist any member or protocal state of the Southeast Asia collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom." U.S. Senator J.

William Full-bright, who pressed for passage of this declaration, has since changed his mind. He, and some others contend, it was obtained by fraud. However, he has not asked for its repeal, just talked. A declaration of war on Vietnam, administration viewpoint holds, would greatly increase the danger of war with the Soviet Union and Red China. It would mean we would have to interdict the flow of 80 percent of the war materials the Soviet sends to North Vietnam, and those of Red China also.

It would mean seizure of Russian ships, possible killing of Soviet crewmen in the port of Haiphong and in hot pursuit Into Red China, Laos and other countries that are enemy sanctuaries. The administration considers such as a broad escalation of the conflict. also is the fact that directly, or indirectly, many countries now help with the war effort who would be unable to sustain their desired status as neutrals were war declared. For instance, Japan, such a neutral permits us to use important land bases there and might not were we to go to all out war declaration. We have maintained we are in Vietnam to assist South Vietnam maintain its freedom and in its straggle against the Vietcong.

A declaration of war would officially make the USA at war with North Vietnam. I Manifestly a formal declaration of war would commit the USA to fight to win or defeat and there are strong arguments it would unify the Under a formal declaration of. war, those now so guilty of treason in the USA would have to be brought to trial. It is unfortunate that in this brief space there cannot be detailed discussion of the breakthrough in defenses against the massive violent storms such as hurricanes. These have stem-' med from our space satellites and our monster buoys at sea, with their sensors.

One example is this. Huri- canes, General Electric reminds us, killed 13,500 people in the USA since 1900. Yet, when Hurricane Beulah last yea hit, it killed only 10 persons. Our satellite named -Nimbus-If photographed Beulah around the clock from the time it formed in the Caribbean on Sept. 8 as it moved west across Gulf of Mexico, then swung north to hit Brownsville, 11 days later.

General Electric built Nimbus II, the first -complex earih orbiting satellite to achieve long life in space. Taking the violence out of weather will take time, but we are makinj progress.

I can't re- member as far back, but I imagine that I enjoyed being carried about, liking the ride and being able to see more than from the floor. Temporary Relief Many a father as well as mother has discovered the quieting effect on a crying in- fant, especially at night-time, from being carried. Many a mother finds thereby tempor- ary relief from hearing the cries of a tot from 2 to 4 while she is doing her household work, though she must often get weary at it.

It is fortunate for her if the store has a place in tte food wagon for him to ride while she fills I 1 xt uus wuguu wiui iuuu. ncariy every mother could afford a cart for him to ride to and from the store. If the child is able to walk the mother might go slowly enough for him to keep up, or be physically safe if on a leash.

Larger Steps Most of us don't realize how hard it is for a tot to walk as fast as we usually do. He must make several steps with i short legts of one step of our own long legs. Of course, there may be Urn? es indoors when the youngster, weary and out-of-sorts, if not too heavy for the mother, could profitably be picked up, rocked and cuddled, and sung to or read to for a little while. But when this youngster often whimsically demands his moth-, er to pick Mm up, he is unduly pampered and she unduly bur- dened. As a rule, we make the youngster over-dependent when ma An in v.
