Woman wants to be trim Phobia creates some problems for envoys Conflict in basic concept of education By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The bleak employment prospects for this year's liberal arts graduates point up, in the view of some authorities, a basic conflict in the American concept of education. The conflict is mainly between educators and employers, but it is the graduate who suffers.

Educators tend to stress the value of a broad education; employers seem to prefer the more practically educated youngster. As a consequence, reliable estimates place at 1 million the number of broadly educated liberal arts graduates by 19801981, nearly triple the number of 1960, while another study shows a shrinking market for their skills. The College Placement Council, for example, found that liberal arts hiring decreased over the past five years, with three- fourths of employer respondents to a study saying they fill less than 10 per cent of openings from liberal arts ranks. While aggravated by the recession, the problem is also part of a long-term trend to fewer sources of employment in such traditional areas as teaching and social services. This forces the CPC, a nonprofit organization whose membership includes college placement officers and employers alike, to conclude that if basic improvements are to be achieved, it is essential to develop an adequate corps of specialists in career counseling and placement.

Essential but apparently unlikely for the time being. "Relatively little money is available to implement work in career counseling and placement in four-year colleges," says Robert Herrick, CPC executive director and a veteran observer of job trends. "Right at the time when these youngsters need all the help they can get in four-year colleges, the colleges have less and less money available, and they get none from the federal government," he laments. Almost the entire federal emphasis on career education is at the high school and junior college level, he argues, leaving the financially pressed four-year schools without the ability to advise their students. While that dilemma remains to be resolved, the CPC believes other changes might be equally urgent.

For one thing, Herrick believes students must be provided an expanded choice of courses in the form of minors and electives. And it is important also, he insists, that programs be developed to provide internships, part- time work and summer jobs, all of which, of course, provides students with a realistic view of the world in which they must earn a living. The CPC has scheduled a national meeting May 27-30 in Washington, D.C., to seek ways to achieve a better matching of education and career opportunities. Even if answers are forthcoming, however, they won't help this year's class very much. Almost all indicators show a bleak job market, "the worst of the 70s," says Herrick.

By George C. Thosteson, M.D.

Dear Dr. Thosteson: When a sedentary woman eats a large evening meal and then has a completely non-active evening afterwards watching tv, knitting, etc. what kind of a walk or a bike ride can she undertake to aid with her figure and weight control? What about jumping rope? Mrs. R.E. You don't tell me your age, but your letter indicates you have slipped into the semi-sedentary lifestyle of many other women at or approaching middle age.

Considering this, I would have to say that exercise alone is not the answer for you. You would have to maintain a sensible diet program along with it. As to the exercise, biking and walking are fine, sensible activities, especially for those into middle age. They both are good preventatives against varicose veins, and both can help develop a healthy appetite for your evening meal. But neither is going to produce any dramatic results as far as staying thin and trim is concerned.

And, for heaven's sake, forget the rope jumping. It is too Ford speech at-a-glance WASHINGTON (AP) Here are the highlights of President Ford's foreign policy address to Congress: VIETNAM AID: Ford asked for $722 million of emergency military assistance and an initial appropriation of $250 million for economic and humanitarian aid for South Vietnam. Referring to his earlier request for $300 million, never acted on by Congress, Ford said, "The sums I had requested before the major North Vietnamese offensive and the sudden South Vietnamese retreat are obviously inadequate. Half-hearted action would be worse than none. We must act together and decisively." MILITARY CURBS: The President asked Congress to amend by the end of next week a law prohibiting the use of American military forces in Southeast Asia.

He sought authority to use uniformed Americans, if necessary, "for the limited purposes of protecting American lives by ensuring their evacuation." He also said he would want to help evacuate many Vietnamese whose lives would be threatened if North Vietnam and the Viet Cong take over the South. CAMBODIA: Ford reminded Congress of his January request for $222 million of aid for Cambodia and added, "I regret to say that as of this evening, it may be too late." ATLANTIC ALLIANCE: Declaring that "our relations with western Europe have never been stronger," Ford said he will join other leaders of the Atlantic alliance at a Brussels summit "in the very near future" to consult about the future and "affirm once again our cohesion and our common destiny." SOVIET TRADE: The President said last year's trade act that bars most favored nation tariff treatment to the Soviet Union because of its emigration policies is urgently in need of amendment to remove the curb. TURKISH AID: He called on Congress to lift its ban on arms shipments to Turkey, saying it has only worsened the Cyprus situation it was aimed at alleviating. MIDDLE EAST: Asserting that "the United States will not be discouraged" by the failure of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger to promote a new Egyptian-Israeli agreement, Ford said, "I pledge the United States to a major effort for peace in the Middle East We have agreed in principle to reconvene the Geneva conference.

We are prepared as well to explore other forums." CHINA: "With the People's Republic of China," he said, "we are firmly fixed on the course set forth" by former President Richard M. Nixon and Chinese officials. Ford said during his own planned trip to China later this year he will "accelerate the improvement in our relations." man relieved General Douglas MacArthur of his command in the Far East.

(AP) The 1974 pack of canned apricots, in cases of 24 cans, No. 2 size, dropped 60 per cent over last year, according to the Canners League of California. The pack consisted of cases of navies; 173,062 cases of whole peeled and cases of whole unpecled. The 1973 over-all total was 4,093,881 cases. Unseasonally wet weather during bloom accounted for the reduced crop.

strenuous an undertaking for any but those in the best of physical condition. Leave It for athletes. I wonder often why so many readers who write to me on this subject seem intent on making things unnecessarily difficult and complicated. Many books are available in public libraries. Some offer sensible and effective exercises that can do wonders for the woman or man who wants to get into shape.

But all exercises are not for everyone, and the ones you choose should be tailored to your capacity, Begin slowly and work up. I have watched some of the television physical fitness programs that are usually aired conveniently in mid-mornings or mid-afternoons, ideal times for the "sedentary housewife." I am impressed with such methods.

Keeping in shape doesn't have to be a grim affair, and it doesn't require your becoming an athlete.

Restricting food intake is more effective than exercise in weight control, especially for the "sedentary" fatties. Dear Dr, Thosteson: My husband has had Parkinson's disease for the past four years. He has been taking L-dopa for three years. The original symptoms have not worsened, but recently he has become very unsteady on his feet. I have heard that a new medicine is now being used.

If this is true, I wish you would advise me of its proper name. Mrs. R.H. Any new medication for Parkinsonism is still in the investigative stage, and is not available for general use. A great deal of testing has to be done before any new medicine is licensed for non-experimental use by practicing physicians.

Most large cities have major hospitals which are constantly engaged in various types of medical research programs. You should inquire at a large hospital near you and find out whether any such work is going on in Parkinsonism. Some of the earlier drugs used for Parkinsonism have been found helpful used in conjunction with L-dopa. A recent report in the journal, Neurology, describes a new program in which 28 per cent improvement in Parkinsonism patients resulted when a drug called amantadine was used in conjunction with L-dopa therapy. But this, too, was experimental.

Your doctor would be on the look out for any new therapy that would help your husband. Forty Years Ago April 11,1935 Neosho will be interested to learn that Miss Pauline Renick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Since you're clearly on different courses and drifting apart, you may as well join forces in good humor. Gemini 21-June You're beginning to take friends' suggestions for granted.

It's so easy to complain, which could lead to much trouble.

Refuse to gripe, and you prevent difficulties. Leo 23-Aug. Temptation is to try for too much, too fast. Slow down; discipline your energies. Explaining too many details of what you plan only brings in resistance, complications.

Suspend judgment; see if you get another explanation. Be calm and tactful to save delicate relationships. Home maintenance pays off very well. Scorpio 23-Nov. Perhaps you won't like some of today's incidents, but at least you know where you stand and how to go about correcting situations to suit yourself.

Be gentle to those you love. Sagittarius 22-Dec. Impulsive action upsets schedules. In getting things straight, odd expedients are helpful. Do no more than necessary.

Bring home a useful, surprise gift. Capricorn 22-Jan. Differing opinions aren't a cause for concern. Work off surplus energy by taking on neglected home repairs. You'll need a profound sense of humor today.

Carry a notebook; get today's bright ideas down for later reference. (Copyright by United Feature Syndicate) By Jack Anderson with Les Whltten WASHINGTON Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reportedly has made up hia mind that Portugal is turning Communist, but he can't seem to keep an ambassador there who will agree with him. Last November, he summarily fired Ambassador Stuart Nash Scott, who disagreed that a Communist takeover of Portugal was inevitable. Scott was replaced by Ambassador Frank Carlucci, whose cables from Lisbon also dispute the Kissinger view. Sources close to Kissinger say he is extremely sensitive about Communist encroachment in the Mediterranean area.

When Portugal took Communists into the government, he feared this might stimulate similar developments in Spain and Italy. He couldn't be shaken from the conviction, according to our sources, that Portugal's new military leaders were crypto- Communists. He concluded direly, therefore, that Portugal had begun the long slide into Communism. But from Lisbon, Ambassador Scott warned this idea could become "the greatest self- fulfilling prophecy in history," diplomatic sources say. His cables to the State Department urged Kissinger to extend economic assistance to the new Portuguese government and, thereby, to bolster the moderates who want to keep Portugal in the Atlantic Alliance.

Kissinger dispatched a special team to Portugal to make an independent assessment. They returned with a report that essentially backed up Scott. A congressional study mission, headed by Rep. Charles Wilson, has also supported the ambassador. "Scott responded to the governmental changes," declared the studv, a calm display of good judgment.

He was the first ambassador to visit the head of the new government and to offer the good wishes of the United States." But Kissinger preferred to believe a few prominent, retired Americans who lived in Portugal part-time. They had been pampered by the deposed dictatorship, which kept prices down, provided cheap labor and policed the streets. For wealthy foreigners, Portugal offered gracious living during the firm, 50-year reign of dictators Salazar Caetano. Some of these retired Americans called the State Department to warn darkly that Lisbon was listing far to the left. One who had Kissinger's ear was retired Adm.

George Anderson, a former Navy chief, former ambassador to Portugal and present chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Anderson maintains a fashionable home in the gentle, southern province of Algarve. He helped to convince Kissinger, according to our sources, that Portugal was slipping into Communist clutches. Another retired American with direct access to Kissinger was George Woods, former head of the World Bank, who has a house near Lisbon. He was somewhat less dogmatic, however, than was Anderson.

Because of Kissinger's "allergy to Communist problems around the Mediterranean," say our sources, he was "predisposed" to believe the reports irom me American colony in Portugal. He reacted, first, by firing Ambassador Scott. One source described the handling of the distinguished, 68-year-old ambassador as "brutal." Then Kissinger adopted a wait- In 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in Paris, but was later recovered. public service corner Got a gripe about your government? Here's who to write. Sen.

Edward Kennedy, after a stopover in Portugal, to get Kissinger grudgingly to release $25 million in credits and grants to the new government. But his basic attitude, according to our sources, remains unchanged.

Meanwhile, 44-year-old Frank Carlucci, a former trouble shooter for ex-President Richard Nixon, has taken over as the new U.S. ambassador. He hadn't been in Lisbon long before he began echoing Scott's views. Carlucci has argued that the United States must take a "constructive view" toward Lisbon's leftish leaders and work with them. "Henry," said one source, "is rather unhappy." For the record, the State Department had no comment on the dismissal of Ambassador Scott.

A spokesman said, however, that "the secretary has full and complete confidence in Ambassador Carlucci." Footnote: Scott literally got off on the wrong foot with Kissinger. Called to the State Department by former Secretary of State William Rogers to be legal adviser, Scott didn't arrive until Kissinger had assumed control, The new secretary took one look at the white-haired Scott who was then walking with the aid of a cane because of a bad hip. Kissinger shipped him off to Portugal, which was then considered a safe, noncontroversial post. Scott had been in the country only three months when the dictatorship fell in a bloodless coup one year ago. DETROIT DILEMMA: A confidential study by former General Motors vice president John DeLorean reports the small cars President Ford has prescribed for fuel economy will increase auto deaths by 40 per cent unless there is "rapid phase-in of air bags.

The DeLorean study, commissioned by Allstate Insurance, says the less safe small cars will make up 65 per cent of the market by 1985. But without the air bags and other safety devices, the upsurge will lead to 2.7 million deaths and injuries from autos by 1985. Costs of the safety devices, he suggests, could be more than met by decreased manufacturers' costs for smaller cars and by dropping useless options. "Vinyl roofs, racing stripes and trim, super wheel disks, have never saved anyone's life, while air bags certainly have," concludes the former Detroit mogul. 25-year-old should not be clued by mom Dear Ann Landers: Can a person's true character be revealed through his handwriting? My 25-year-old son has fallen in love with a 30-year-old woman.

She has him completely wrapped up. He is walking on air, and it's simply nauseating. I happen to know Dennis gave this woman a very expensive piece of jewelry, although he still owes his father a large sum of money. On three occasions, I have been in Madame Svengali's company when Dennis was not present. All three times she showed a very bad temper.

The last time she lost control of her mouth, she realized she went too far. The following day she wrote me a letter of apology. I took that letter to a handwriting analyst and this is what he said: "The woman is potentially dangerous. She is hiding some sort of secret." Should I mind my own business or am I obligated to tell my son? I happen to agree with the handwriting analyst. I'm sure Dennis has never seen her temperamental side.

Please advise. Mrs. Dear I do not believe a person's handwriting can reveal that he or she is potentially dangerous and is "hiding" something. If Dennis is unaware of his lady friend's temperamental side he is sure to witness it eventually. Should she manage to keep him completely fooled until after they are married, that's his hard luck.

A 25-year- old man should not be clued in by his mother, so MYOB, dearie. because I don't want to reveal my identity We life in a small town and I would surely be recognized. Please express your opinion. Second Best Isn't Good Enough Dear Second: Too bad you can't give me more details such as how long was your husband married to his first wife? How many children did they have? How old are you? How old is SHE? Did that woman help your husband become a financial success? Did she take care of his mother in her old age? After you read my response I doubt that you'll want to "call the matter to his attention." You might get some answers you don't care to hear. Dear Ann Landers: I found out yesterday that my husband has a $25,000 life insurance policy and the beneficiary is his former wife.

Should I bring this matter to his attention? I am terribly hurt and feel he is not playing fair. I can't give you more details Dear Ann Landers: I am 25, my fiance is 29. We've been going together for two years and are very much in love. Don was married briefly when he was 18. This will be my first marriage and I want it to work.

Everything is perfect except one area of disagreement that is killing me. Don doesn't want children. He says kids make him nervous. He can't stand his sister's children. (They are spoiled and ill-behaved.) I have tried to explain that our children would be different.

Don says he doesn't want to take the chance. My parents are dying to have grandchildren and I am their only hope. (My brother was injured in Vietnam.) I adore children and can't imagine life, without them. What should I do? He won't go for counseling. His mind is made up.

Seeking Guidance Dear S.G.: I would not make this decision for anybody. But if it's guidance you want I will tell you that a marriage that starts out with a problem like yours has two strikes against it. Your resentment could grow with the years and you might end up blaming Don for cheating you out of something very precious. Contract B. Jay Becke Bidding Quiz You are South, both sides vulnerable.

The bidding has been: North East South West 1 Pass 2 Pass 2 NT Pass What would you bid now with each of the following four hands? 1.4 KJ4 VKJ 4AQ942 2.4QB4 9J 3.4AJ82 V95 OQ9B643 4.44 VQ85 1. Four notrump. This is invitational to a slam and has nothing to do with Blackwood because no suit has been agreed upon. North is simply being invited to bid again with maximum values. With a minimum, he should pass.

The point-count requirement for a notrump slam is usually 33, but many slams are made with a point or two less. Two notrump in this sequence indicates 15 or 16 points, and is not generally regarded as a weak rebid. 2. Three nolFump. Once the meaning of two notrump is understood, the raise to three becomes automatic.

On top of the likelihood of 25 or 26 high- card points in the two hands, there is the strong possibility of taking five, or even six, diamond tricks. This should 1975 Kins make nine tricks a relatively easy task. 3. Three diamonds. Here you warn partner that your two diamond bid was not up to standard.

You don't have the usual 10 or more points in high cards. Three diamonds is a weak bid urging partner to pass. If North bids again, it is at his own peril. It would be wrong to bid three spades, as this would commit your side to game where all indications are that there is no game. Besides, North is unlikely to have four spades, having failed to name the suit earlier.

To take pains to describe your distribution by bidding three spades is a fruitless exercise when it sends the bidding skyward in a situation where game is at best remote. It's nice to picture your hand to partner, but not when it gets you up too high. 4. Three hearts. The support for partner's suit should be shown to cover the strong possibility that he holds five hearts.

It is more important to tell partner of the heart fit than to show the clubs. Aiming at a ten-trick heart game takes precedence over aiming at an eleven-trick game. Three hearts is forcing. To play otherwise would require you to bid game in notrump or hearts at the risk of winding up in the wrong contract, Syndicate. Inc.).
