I have just gone over every original word of Nikita Khrushchev's seven-hour speech to the Soviet Communist Party's 21st Congress.

I submit that this is action above and beyond the call of duty. Fellow workers, now I even know what Khrushchev thinks of Comrade Zubkov, chairman' of the Krasnoyarsk Integrated Expedition of the Council for the Study of the Productive Forces of the USSR Academy of Science. Nikita likes him. Zupbkov agrees with the boss on Socialism. And what do these documents show of Tovarish Khrushchev's pleasure with Socialism?

But it isn't clear that he got to the root of the matter. He described America and its free friends as having a "chaotic, indifferent commercial society," and declared that "outer tyranny" like Russia's "may well triumph "over the inner, purposeless tyranny of a confused and aimless way of life." Echoing a complaint lodged by a good many others, Stevenson said Ctotoe rtinlnmnrv and strat- pressure to vary somewhat. Normal blood pressure fs not always fixed at one certain level.

"I'm the one who does all the family shopping" or "My friends always say I can get the best bargains. They always want me to go with them when they buy anything important" or "I just love to shop for people, so why shouldn't I be paid for it?" Then I think of all the women I've met who once started personal shopping services which folded because people wouldn't pay for the service. The fact is that a few a very few-personal shopping services do succeed.

But before you entertain the idea of starting one, you'd better doublecheck and make sure yours has the earmarks of the potentially successful. First, there is the matter of experience and. training along the lines of a real specialty. There has to be a reason why people give their shopping to you instead of someone else. A reporter I know tells of a colleague In the fashion business whose knowledge of clothes and eye for style helps her to know exactly what kind of dress will look good on a given woman.

My reporter friend gets lyrical when she describes the uncanny way in which this gal could bring you Just the perfect dress. A girl like that could run a successful personal shopping service.

He seems to get close, but not all the way, to the heart of things when he suggests we may have confused "the free with the free and easy." If freedom means ease alone, its spirit will die though its forms remain, he says.

Where Stevenson perhaps falls short is in the evident implication that what he complains of is a condition only of the present age, a failure only of today's leaders. But is this the fact? Were the men of the free world anything but defensive as they came up under the guns of Kaiser Wilhelm II in World War Were they not pushed to the brink of defeat before they struck militantly for the preservation of freedom? champagne, dined on "Tournedos Prin-. cess Alexandra" and even cracked a few jokes on leaving. Her mother, the Duchess of Kent, has just hired an assistant to help her daughter's over-burdened private secretary. This is an omen (as Princess Margaret fades happily more and more from the limelight) that bodes increased royal reliance on the 22-year-old Alexandra and her younger brother, 17-year-old Prince Michael.

The blood pressure as measured by the physician is the force of the outward thrust which 'the blood stream exerts on the walls of the arteries through which It is passing. In taking the measurement, the physician uses an instrument which puts outside pressure against the artery. When this equals the pressure Inside the artery, he knows what the blood pressure is. When the heart contracts and squeezes blood into the artery the outward thrust pressure of the blood rises. When the heart relaxes between beats, the pressure in the arteries falls.

The hich point of the pressure is called "systolic," the low point "diastolic." There is always a difference between these two figures. Both the level of the systolic pressure and that of the diastolic, and the difference between the figures, may be of significance to the examining physician. The level of blood pressure, particularly the systolic, is influenced by a number of factors, such as emotional disturbances, cold, exercise or excitement. All of these tend to increase the blood pressure. For these reasons It Is common for the first test of the blood pressure in a doctor's office to be high just because of the excitement of the visit.

Quite often the pressure may be nor-, mal the next time. A blood pressure which remains constantly high is something to watch. It can result from various kinds of heart disease or from a disease which thickens the blood. It also comes from decreased elasticity of the arteries caused by deposits of fatty-like substances or calcium in the walls of these vessels. This Is the kind of high blood pressure which accompanies hardening of the arteries.

Per-haos the most common type of high blood pressure is that for which no cause can be discovered and which is commonly known as "essential hypertension." There are other kinds of high blood pressure, too. the cause of which can sometimes be discovered and successfully treated. More is being learned about what Influences the blood pressure. Increasingly effective treatment is to be expected as time goes on. Was the situation not as oaa or worse 20 vears later when Hitler's the reason why it should be she the shadow sDread across Europe?

What the reasons all add up to Is that the United States has other systems for delivering nuclear warheads on Russian targets.

These are systems the Russians don't have for making nuclear weapons attacks on the United States. The United States is establishing bases in Germany for the Matador missile and its improved successor, the Mace. They can carry nuclear warheads 600 to 1,000 miles. The United States is placing land-based Jupiter and Thor intermediate range ballistic missiles in the British Isles and Eu- at the Colony she was such a picture of turbaned elegance that the Met'j Cesare Bardelli said, "This is the JOS operatic character I have ever seer The answer is really unprovable because nobody knows for sure of what the Russians are capable.

When they believe the danger is small, they turn with immense concentration to the enjoyment of freedom's fruits. Freedom inevitably breeds ease and complacency.

They are inherent occupational hazards. Most men do not enjoy liberty with gun in hand. This may be one of the great ironies of historythat men who besides this report. Nikita Khrushchev has just revised Socialism. That is fact.

He has moved it closer to Capitalism. Khrushchev has shifted the Soviet State to the right. This is evidence that the mighty Soviet State is in a mighty sweat over cracks in its production lines and that Comrade Mikoyan came here for aid in patching up the system, which is doing mighty well among the. stars but not so well on earth. Here are the quotes, buried among hundreds of thousands of words, to prove this: "In Socialist society distribution is realized basically according to the principle, 'From each according to his abilities, to each according to his "This means that the predominant part of material and cultural wealth is distributed among the society's members in accordance with their labor contribution to communal Khrushchev said.

Earth tremors recorded at that moment will undoubtedly be traced to the swiftly revolving Karl Marx in his British grave. It has been Marxist philosophy for more than 100 years that Socialism means "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Now what Khrushchev, the revisionist, has done is to tell the thousands at the Soviet Congress that he wants a full day's work for what passes for a full day's pay in Russia. He says in so many words that those who don't work won't eat, and those who work will eat more and be richer. "The Socialist principle of distribution (of money, food, apartments, cars, etc. VR) according to work is based on the admission of the impossibility of an equalizing distribution in the period of Socialism," Khrushchev said in startling retreat from the former positions of Lenin, Marx and a fellow named Joe Stalin.

"This is the only sensible and just principle of distribution in the given conditions. One cannot fail to see that equalization would lead to unjust distribution." Now hear this: "Both the good and bad workers would receive the same. This is advantageous only for idlers. Thus the material incentive of people to work better, to increase labor productivity, to produce more, would be undermined. "Equalization would mean not a transition to Communism but the discrediting of Communism." Khrushchev reported that all this business about all men no longer being equal in shop and factory was approved last November by millions of Soviet citizens.

Comrade said that more than meeting weits held "in enterprises and projects, at collective and state' farms, in scientific and educational establishments, in army and navy detachments and at Soviet institutions." Comrade Big then said that these meetings "were attended bv more than 70,000,000 people." Of these, more than 4,672.000 comrades "made remarks, amendments and suggestions." In addition, said Khrushchev, "Central and local parties and Soviet bodies, editors of newspapers, periodicals, radio and TV received from working people over 650,000 letters "and articles with suggestions and remarks about various sections of the theses on target figures. Of these, over 300,000 have been published." Apparently Comrade and the other Russians have discovered the secret for successful CommunismCapitalist production.

There will be 10 squadrons of 15 missiles each. The United States Is developing the Polaris ICBM which can be fired from nuclear-powered submarines. The first three are scheduled for readiness in 1960. The United States has fighter-bombers carrying nuclear bombs. They can be launched from both aircraft carriers and land bases surrounding Soviet Russia.

The United States has its Strategic Air Command SAC which is admittedly ahead of Russian long-range bomber strength. The United States B-52 can carry nuclear bombs and also air-to-ground nuclear warhead Hound Dog missiles with ranges of 500 to 1,000 miles. They will be ready in 1962. The United States is proceeding on the assumption that the manned bomber will be a part of its delivery system for the next 10 years. Finally, the' United States has its own ICBM the Atlas.

Twenty squadrons of 10 missiles each-costing about $10,000,000 a missileare now in production. The first will be combat ready July 1, several more by the end of the year. The date when all 200 will be combat rtady has never been officially released. It is admitted the United States is not producing all the Atlas missiles it could. The reason given is that the more advanced Titan missile is under development to succeed it.

Beind the Titan is the Minute-man, which will be ready by 1963. This missile will use solid fuel and be ready for instant firing without countdown. Minutemen will be set up in underground launching pad "farms" of 50, centrally controlled. They will be dispersed so that one attacking missile can knock out only one Min-uteman installation. It Is the multiplicity of United States missiles and bombers which, it is claimed, will give the United States equivalent strength to the Russians by the end of the year.

The complex of all these weaponswhose total number is not given make it impossible for the Russians to have enough ICBMs to knock out all American and allied missiles in one surprise attack. The theory is that there will always be enough United States missiles left to launch a destructive counter-attack on the Russians, who must depend on ICBM alone to hit the United States. The assumption is that 50 per cent of all United States missiles fired will go the full range. Half of these, or 25 per cent of the total number, will hit close enough to destroy the target.

uiii a fight and die to gain freedom turn soft in the appreciation of their prize. Today the irony is sharpened by the more complex nature of the new tyranny which threatens. For, actually, a strong case can be made that free men now are alert as never before to dangers of any size, When, in past times, did we have a NATO, a huge joint arsenal of devastating weapons, a worldwide propaganda agency to tell our story abroad? The answer, of course, is never. Our alliances and our arsenal are still "defensive," admittedly, but at least they represent positive action for freedom, taken before it is pressed to the wall. Men who act thus have not lost freedom's spirit.

Unhappily, our task today is complicated by the fact that Communist tyranny wears a mask, a philosophy which professes concern for all humanity. Our democratic ideals once rang 'round the world. But we do not know how to make them ring in the ears of millions in 1959. We sound selfish to many peoples. Meantime, tragically, they listen with interest to beckoning Communism, a truly selfish fraud upon men.

We free peoples have only just learned real military alertness. It is perhaps understandable that we are still slow to deal with a far wider menace. Yet we can hope that the prodding of the Steven-sons will speed us to great new levels of effort in freedom's behalf.

Marguerite tiaua is high up on ihdl list. Of course, she's much more than just an opera singer supper clubs, TV, concerts, too but opera was where she first became known. And now, with a new Coral contract all signed, she admits to "a terrific yen for a hit single." "Everybody else has, so why can't I-" says the beautiful Marguerite.

"If I could only find the right song it's like rolling dice. I wouldn't care what kind of a song it was it could be hillbilly or anything else but if it fit me, I'd record it." As it is, Coral's first thought is to make an album with Marguerite's new supper club act. But singles might follow. Then there's a good chance she'll do a Broadway show. "Ray and Bullets have just about talked me into doing a Broadway show," she says, referring to managers Ray Katz and Bullets Durgom.

She grew up outside of Cincinnati too far out for lessons.

She came to New York anyhow and got a job. Some years later, her husband, songwriter Johnny Burke, suggested she sing. And it wasn't until last season that she ever acted.
