We have saved this picture a long time to show it to someone." The medical profession hesitates to accept this type of evidence as scientific. Was this woman actually 59?

Federal housing officials announced In Washington that no more urban renewal aid will be given to California until the courts have ruled on the validity of the new amendment. Urban renewal I funds are granted on condition that there Ifrill be no racial or other discrimination in the renewal area. The housing officials said the new amendment may prevent California communities from abiding by the nondiscrimination clause in urban renewal contracts.

Other states are expected to be penalized, or rewarded, according to the way their people voted. The Wall Street Journal reports that some federal aid to Mississippi and Alabama may be cut off early next year. Even before the election, the Johnson administration hinted that defense 'and space installation might be moved from Alabama. In Virginia, fear of the loss of federal defense spending was an important issue in the election. The Gloucester, Gazette-Journal explained why it was supporting the President: "Mr.

Johnson has been pictured as an extremely practical politician. We believe that assessment is correct Consequently, if Virginia goes into the Republican column again, it could well happen that some of the defense dollars we receive today will be channeled elsewhere. It is no secret that the space center envisioned for the peninsula a few years ago was moved to Texas by Mr. Kennedy because he was. in Mr, Johnson's debt?

Part of the reason, according to Dr. Palyi, is the urge of western capitalists to dig capitalism's grave, if the price be right He suggests another reason may be as important: long-term loans to shore up the tottering communist empire aren't really a good risk, financially but, if the Reds get too shaky, Stalinism may show its ugly head and we can't have that. Not in a world with no alternative to peace.

So, in the world we've got today, the west can't afford any policies, economic or otherwise, which actually succeed against the Reds. We can only afford policies which fail. This may be why criticism of pro-Red policies fails to make much headway among the voters. Most of us know a President nowadays, can't do anything else when he's got no alternative to peace. That cannot be blamed on Johnson, but on the Presidents who allowed such a situation to develop.

Nikita doesn't live here any more. WtsMMtM EtmIm Star Altho most experts in and out of government feel reasonably optimistic about our American economic outlook, a sobering note of caution has been sounded by Treasury Undersecretary Robert V. Roosa.

Addressed to the Hot Springs meeting of the prestigious Business Council which is made up of America's leading corporation executives what he has said may be summed up in two words, "Watch out!" In Mr. Roosa's judgment some of this year's labor-management agreements notably in the auto industry "probably" have gone too far toward breaking the defensive line against dangerous inflationary pressures. Accordingly, as he has told the council, he is worried about what the consequences may be as regards our country's competitive position in the export field, our international balance of payments, and the all-important effort to prevent a deadly new race between rising wages and rising prices in our domestic economy. President Johnson, in his economic message to Congress last January, proclaimed the establishment of an "early warning system" in which all the government's appropriate agencies would help him keep an eye on wage-price developments. And he went on to explain that if any of these developments abused the anti-inflationary "guidelines" recommended by his Council of Economic Advisers, he would be 'quick to "draw public attention" to that fact and take other measures to persuade labor and management to discipline themselves and stay within nonlnflationary standards of collective bargaining.

Well, Mr. Roosa has pushed the button of Mr. Johnson's "early warning" machine. One may doubt, tho, that this will lead to an automatic Presidential move to enlist the public's support to save' labor and management from the mutual folly of inflationary horse trading.

Mrs. Robert Brizzolara Evanston, Nov. 5 My support of Johnson stemmed not from a desire to get in on federal gravy but from rather strongly held principles concerning what makes good government and good diplomacy. The old contention that given a real conservative candidate the voters would elect him has been proved false by a gigantic victory for a man of mediocre appeal.

DeVallon Bolles New Lenox, Nov. 4 The real "mandate" that President Johnson has received is not to expect anyone but himself to make sacrifices for our country. He will have to make many to serve the conflicting interests of the selfish and incompatible groups who surely feel he is in their debt Kenneth Messenger Chicago, Nov. 3 Realistic conservatives will admit that their cause suffered a serious setback in the Presidential election. Their pet theory that the public would vote conservative if it had a real choice of opposing philosophies of government exploded.

William H. Meyer Chicago, Nov. 4 Many thanks to The Tribune for fine support of Sen. Goldwater in this campaign. Your superior articles in the last two months have been direct and extremely informative.

Barbara Kimbehly GET WELL NOTE Our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery to. Fred M. Gillies, who worked credit for being the oldest woman to give birth but they need a few more facts to make the case history authentic. Newspapers usually report what they are told by the participants but do not necessarily accept this type of information as the gospel truth. Physicians who have delivered thousands of babies report that pregnancy after 52 is unusual.

We might assume that after that age, it is rare. Prior to 1900, several reports were published about women bearing children at age 58, 60, 61, 62, and 73 years of age. The record goes to the woman who died at the age of 112, leaving a daughter of 9 years. Most obstetricians take these stories with tongue in cheek because they occurred before births were registered, or the persons involved came from out of the way places. Sometimes physicians err in giving information to the press.

Many years ago the public was amazed to read about a 21-year-old Escanaba, girl who had been running a daily temperature, of 120 degrees F. for several weeks. Several medicos were asked to comment and all said it was impossible. Finally, a team, including Dr. Morris Fishbein, was sent to investigate.

All they had to do was watch her carefully while the reading was taken. They found she was putting the end of the thermometer on the hot water bottle next to her face.

Is there any kind of drink I could take that won't hurt the body? REPLY Ask for tomato juice, ginger ale, or tonic water. Some people take a martini or bourbon and soda to hold but not to drink. But don't be mean and throw it in a plant when the host is not looking.

ABDOMINAL PAIN R. B. writes: I'm 67. I had my appendix removed 40 years ago and have suffered from appendix pain since then. Three years ago I had another operation to relieve adhesions.

Now pain is worse. Can you advise me? REPLY No appendix, no appendix pain. Other causes of abdominal pain must be considered, including spastic colitis, kinking, and diverticulitis. A thoro X-ray study of the intestinal tract should be done by an expert in this field. CHEMICALTRIGGERS N.

The oblique; participation in the current Presidential campaign of a man who died in 43 B.C. illustrates a thesis urged wld grace and learning in an essay some are caQing.Vtbe most definitive piece written" on why Latin should be studied.

We refer to "The Case for by Prof. William Riley Parker of Indiana university. Here is the gist of Parker's argument: The study of any foreign language shatters the aH-too-easy assumption that one's native patterns of thought, expression, and culture are the only ones; thru Latin, a student has "an educationally unique experiencea sense of our relevant past, cultural and linguistic." Much in the ideals, institutions, literature, and language of our own culture can be traced in unbroken line thru time to Latin. Certainly, we are better educated persons for learning for ourselves not merely being told that the apparent islands on which we stand are parts of a larger mainland. Certainly a most effective way of escaping the provincialism into which every baby is born is the mastery of a second language to the point where one can take some ease and pleasure in it As Parker says, a single year of high school foreign language study is worthless; and as he also says, any subject dies if taught in a deadly way.

Unhappy memories of ineffectual language study do not necessarily justify convictions of the inherent uselessness of all language study. Recently many of us have been much concerned to urge our convictions upon others, to recruit others to our party. Inevitably, a season will come when the most determined partisans against "liberals" will recognize occasion to pursue, this time with affection, the liberal arts. As we study circles with centers other than our own, for example Cicero's, we shall find some things and some things strange.
