MT. VIRNON. ICLfNOIS mSINT COSTS SPUR US TO PURCHASE INSURANCE 1 By YEAR, homeowners spent obput $600 million, one- more than in 1959, to Insure their homes and possessions, according to the Insuronce Information I sfitute. In view of the fact that home-building suffered year, this is really amazing. Why the tremendous gain in expenditure for this type of protection? The answisr is twofold: We are becoming increas- What Ever Happened To Khrushchev's Gift Boat? Jngly aware of what it costs to replace outworn furnishings and to make major repairs.

And, the insurance industry Js' cleverly merchandising a relatively new package called "home' owners policies," which offers "odVerage not merely against the hazards of wind, fire and water, 'but burglary, personal liability and more. The plus factor to these policies is that they reduce by 25, to 35 per cent what you would for the name type of prO' tection were you to insure against hazards sepa-ately. Tve come across this information in an attempt to answer the question: "How much should I spend to insure my $20,000 house?" It is impossible to offer a spe- dollars-and-cents answer, since insurancp rates, vary by city and state. There is no scale to say how much you. should be spending for such insurance rela tive to income.

If you budget Is tight and savings slim, you'll suffer more from a loss than if you had good cash reserves. However, the greater your wealth, the greater the danger that a big liab.Iity suit might be yours if someone is hurt accidentally on your property. The closest answer the experts offer is to say that a home should be insured for at least 80 per Cent of its valuation contents, minus land and shrubs. To be as specific as possible, here is how the experts would allocate coverage for a $20,000 frame house located in a small New Jersey town: Fire and extended (windstorm) coverage for the total valuation of house, plus $8,000 of fire extended coverage for furnishings and personal property locatedfon the premises, and $1,000 on household and $Sanal property off the prem- fcik 'Adifitionslly, they $8,000 for theft or burglary bisuranee eh premises, $1,000 for eif pranises. nu ttm owners sbonld fefiny $10,000 of eomprahemdve perMBal liability ooverage to protect agalnat injnry claims and payllig tip to $250 of medical OjiMifs for such Injuries.

Under this Mter, should a storm, for in stance, do $400 roof damage, insurance would pay replacement eost; type of protection bought bi package under a three- year contract costs $233 against $320.30 if the policies were taken out separately and included by $1,000 for theft Insurers offer five varieties of thtfte "homemakers policies," in varying coverage varying costs. Package described is considered prudent, not minimum or extravagant coverage.

In his news conference state ment on Laos Thursday night he avoided a shrill note. But two of his problems, the immediate ones, are danger-loaded. The third, long range and simple-looking, is just as baffling.

1. How peacefully to get the rebels, Red-led and Red-supported to stop trying to take over the country by force. Kennedy has called on Russia, which is giving supplies to the rebels, to agree to a cease-fire. 2. What if this fails? Use force, which would be mainly American force, to stop the rebels? It could be another Korea, but war with Red China or Russia, or both.

3. Suppose a showdown is averted now and Kennedy gets what he says he wants: A neutral Laos "tied to no outside power." How can it be saved from a Red-take over eventually anyway, from in side if not outside? -o- -o- -o- Laos borders on two Communist countries: Red China and Red North Viet Nam. China stayed out of the Korean war until Gen Etouglas MacArthur took his forces close to the Red Oiinese North Korean border. Laos has four non-Communist neighbors. It is therefore a key place in Southeast Asia.

Once Laos goes, the pressure will begin on the neighbors. Unless the Reds are stopped in Laos, they will take it as a sign of American weakness and push ahead to the next stop. But even if there is a truce and Laos becomes neutral, then what? It can't stay neutral. That's simple. The United States and the Communists will both be busy in Laos trying to influence it in one way or another.

This struggle would go on for years. Since 1954 this country has poured $314 million into Laos. But it's a very important 85 per cent of that money went into the Laotian army, the police force, and financial support of the Laotian civil budget. -o- -o- -o- The army is equipped, trained, id and even fed by this country. earns only a tiny fraction of its own expenses.

Its exports in 1960 totaled only 51-6 million whUe its national deficit was $33 million. It would need outside help even if there were no East- West contest over it. If Laos were neutralized, neither the West nor East would permit the other to buOd up the country's military forces. It wouldn't need much of an army, anyway, if it were truly neutralized. But the West and communism would compete with each other to help the Laotians in other fields and try to influence them, openly or otherwise.

Thus the contest be- twen East and West, without war would be unending. One thing is sure: In our time real peace is unlikely in Southeast Asia. Anyone who understands communism, and has watched Red China, knows it won't stop FRIDAY, MARCH QUANTICO (FHTNC) Marines 2nd Lt. Gewae G. Ross, aon of Mr.

Exactly 55 years ago, he played in tlie circus for the last time. Yet tjie circus has followed him through his long and distinguished career. He has done plays and movies about the big top. He i son the act played vaudeville. He in a circus TV show fori was appearijig atjhe Haymarket Flying Ashtons.

"It was the first time I had ever done trapeze work at 40 feet high," he recalled. "We had always practiced at 16 feet. The height didn't bother me. But I had trouble concentrating on the flying. I was too busy watching the clown down below." Joe's days with the Flying tons-came to an abrupt halt when he was 13.

After the circus sea- a year. And Friday night he wiO host an NBC special depicting the famed Circus of England. "I suppose the lessons I leamed in the circus stuck with me all through my life," Joe reflected. "I guess the main tiling was the eagerness to please that circus perfoi-mei's have. People have often told me that they enjoyed watching me preform because I looked as if I was having a good time.

And I do." Joe served four seasons with a number of under-tent shows, starting before he was 10. The first time he ever set foot under the big top was when he reported to work in Kansas as one of the Theater in San Francisco on a memorable date April 18, 1906. He was shaken out of bed by the earthquake and lived in a park for days before escaping to Oakland by tug boat. He headed back to his Toledo home, the aerialist days over. Joe laments the passing of two institutions: 1.

The circus parade created excitement in a a g)-eat thrill for kids like us who couldn't afford admission; 2. The big circus doesn't sound tlie same when it isn't under canvas; especially when it was wet, that tent would echo with the most beautiful sound you ever Farrington Center Denies Weger Jury Mishandled OPDYKE OTTAWA, HI. -Prosecu-! tor Robert E.
