Month of Feasts New Chief (Bachelorhood Statesman's HOME Khrushchev Das hes India's Hopes of Border Settlement February Has Many anorama By WATSON SIMS NEW DELHI, India (AP)-Indi-an hopes that Soviet Premier Ni-kita Khrushchev might help settle the border dispute of India and Red China suffered a setback Friday. Prime Minister Nehru told Parliament "I see no ground whatever" for. a settlement now. Khrushchev, here on a South Asian tour, had met alone with Nehru for nearly three hours. It was widely assumed they' dis- cussed the quarrel between Peiping and New Delhi over about' 50,000 square miles of frontier land, a matter of grave concern here for the last six months.

Nehru did not confirm that assumption in his address to Parliament, but emphasized India's desire for a friendly solution. Saying he had recently, replied: to Red China's Dec. 31 call for. top-level, talks, he declared there' is at present no common Bobby Clark, One-Time i 1 Mrs. W.

Pre-Lenten Holidays By MAXINE BUREN Statesman Woman's Editor This very short month of February abounds in holidays, especially the religious feast days of the Old World. Februarius, the Roman feast of purification is said to give its name to the month. The latter days of February often sees the beginning of the tion fast days of Lent, though this year Easter comes late and Lent begins in March.

St. Brigit, that saint for whom more little Irish girls are named than any ether except Mary, is associated in legend with St. Patrick. It is said she helped him convert Ireland to Christianity. St.

Brigif Flame is the name by which the dandelion is known in Celtic countries. Special Foods Irish women used to make little ash cakes on the occasion of her birthday, little scones wrapped in cabbage leaves and baked in the ashes on the hearth. They were sopped in rasher gravy when -eaten. Special tea scones were made with golden meal, baked on a griddle and eaten with jelly or jam. In Poland, until its last occupation, high feasting took place on the Thursday before Lent.

Piczki or rich fried doughnuts were served. In Syria the Thursday before Lent was known as Drunkard's Thursday because eating and drinking were in top form on that day. A sheep was slaughtered and served with rice-stuffed grape leaves and figs stewed in molasses. The grape leaves were carefully kept for the occasion. Women Music 6 (Sec.

Israeli fishin? fWts today no room for negotiation, nothing to negotiate. Welcomed Agreement He welcomed the Jan. 28 border agreement between Red China and Burma, saying "one conflict less is good for the world." Many Indians have felt that Khrushchev might persuade the Soviet Union's big Asian ally to pull its troops from the Himalayan areas both India and'Red China claim. But Nehru is reported to have had no such hopes to doubt in fact that the Soviet leader has enough influence with Red China's Tze-tung to change the Chinese course. Khrushchev, looking tired but in better voice than earner, emphasized other issues in a speech Friday afternoon at Ram Shila Park, sprawling between Old and New' Delhi.

Perish in Flames "They have come to understand that if war is unleashed by them, the instigators and inspirers would be the first to perish in its flames," he said.

Nehru responded just as he J. w.

I Vaudeville NEW YORK (AP One of the last of the old-time funny men, Bobby Clark, 71, died Friday. He had been in the business of making people laugh for more than half a century. He retired about a year ago. His wife said he had been ill with a virus condition for about three weeks, but that a heart attack caused his death. Clark won his fame as a member of the old burlesque comedy team of McCuDough, which he and Paul McCullough formed in 1905.

Their vaudeville team continued until McCullough's death in 1936. Clark's favorite costume for his zany skits was a raccoon coat.

The girl's body, clad in shorts and slippers, was found washed ashore next day on barren Spectacle Is land in Boston hprbor. After the girl was missed aboard ship, McAuliffe told the jury, Van Rie utilized ids position as radio operator to send out misleading messages "that would lead those in search of this girl to search where she would not be found." Then, McAuliffe continued, "of all the officers on the ship, this handsome defendant was first on the Job providing an alibi before it was even known how the girl left the ship or how she died." McAuliffe omitted any discussion of a motive in the alleged beating of Miss Kauffman.

Estate Willed To Nun Ruled As Taxable WASHINGTON (AP) The U. S. Tax Court held Friday that a be quest to a nun whose vows automatically channeled her property to a religious order could not be treated as a religious contribution.

The decision, first of its kind to be handed down by the court, involved the estate of Margaret E. Callaghan of Boston, who, died in 1932. The beneficiaries under her will included a daughter, Margaret Mary Callaghan, who is now Sister Laurentia of the Roman" Catholic order of Carmelites. Shortly before her mother's death, she took the order's vows of poverty, under which everything she owned became the property of the order. When the estate tax was figured.

Sister Laurentia's inheritance was deducted as a transfer to a religious organization. The Internal Revenue Service declined to accept this and made a claim for an additional $24,700 in estate taxes. This was paid by the estate, but the question was tested in the Tax Court suit. Members of the family testified Mrs. Callaghan knew her daughter's money would go to the Carmelite order, but the court said there was nothing in the will to indicate this and that the, will had been made several years before Sister Laurentia took the vow of poverty.

Lou Kelly is vocal director of the groups. Dear Ann: The other evening my husband and I attended a large outdoor meeting.

The national anthem was played and we were asked to join in. Most of the men removed their hats. Some did not. A few women removed their hats. Almost everyone rose, although a few remained seated.

Some people placed their hands over their hearts, others saluted. It was embarrassing because we had brought along a guest from a foreign country and he asked why so many people were doing different things. To be frank we couldn't tell our guest the proper procedure. Can you? UNINFORMED Dear Uninformed: When the national anthem is played EVERYONE should rise and stand at attention. Normally, at an outdoor event, the flag is on display when the anthem is played and this means hats off for the men.

Women never remove their hats, under any circumstances. If the flag is not on display, it is not necessary to place the hand over the heart or salute. People who do this are confusing the national anthem with the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Dear Ann: I just lost a wonderful boy friend. I'm 22 and'old enough to have known better than to have let such a prize get away.

Maybe if I put my experiences down on paper it will help for the future. Bob told me point-blank what was wrong in fact, he put it fin a letter. If you see yourselves below. Sisters, wake up before it's too late. (1) I never let Bob finish a sentence.

I frequently interrupted him to correct him or supply a better word. (2) I never waited for him to open a door, hail a taxi, or tell the driver where we were going. (3) I always chose the restaurant, theater, movie, and even the couples we went with. (4) I never let him select a gift for me. I was so practical I told him what I wanted and where it could be found.

Once I even bought my own birthday gift Sand let him write me a check for the amount. To sum it all up I was so aggressive I overwhelmed the poor, sweet guy with my domineering personality. I won't make this mistake again Leap Year notwithstanding. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. THE SHTARKER Dear Shtarker: There are as many types of men as there are varieties of fish in the sea.

Some ADORE the Sturdy Oak. Others prefer the Clinging Vine. Ya' gotta know the territory. Thank you for writing. Dear Ann Landers: A friend of mine borrowed $50 from me three weeks ago.

He got into a crap game and lost more than he had a right to. He told me his wife would be awfully mad if she knew about it and asked if I'd give him a couple of months to pay it back. I said "OX" Two days ago I got the sad news that this fellow died of a heart attack. He had never had a sick day and his death was a shock to everyone. Do you think I should collect the $50 from his widow after things have quieted down or skip it? MINUS FIVE Dear Minus: Unless the money is terribly important to you skip it.

Under the circumstances an effort to collect would be a crass and tasteless gesture.
