Tito has not spoken the final word on his present relations with Russia, hut his initial iespoi ses suggest he is leaning strongly toward a renewal of wholehearted friendship. Should he. for all practical purposes.

rejo.n the Soviet camp it would be poor news for the West. Since his break with Russia in mid-1948 he has made military links with two NATO countries, Greece and Turkey. He has established close ties with other Western nations. And he has gained a billion dollars in economic and military aid from the United States. It is quite possible, of course, that Tito may not reverse himseli so completely.

It is possible, too, that he may seem to do so but that the appcai ance may be deceiving. Washington Column By Peter Ed son WASHINGTON None Neff gave $2,500 to E. J.

Assignment Ohio By Robert Vincent George Sokolsky These Days Why Comrades Khrushchev and Bulganin should want to visit the United States is not difficult to understand. They want to see how capitalism and democracy really work. What they will do with this knowledge, no one can tell. Also, they undoubtedly would like to tell their underlings that Stalin tried to get an invitation but NO one in the West believes a Russia has replaced the old. that the goal of world conquest has been abandoned.

For hard-bitten Tito, realist if there ever was one, to believe Soviet blandishments is almost incredible. Certainlv he could not have been fooled by the stage-managed resignation of Foreign Minister Mol- never made it: and that they did otov, timed for the eve of his Moscow arrival. Molo- get an invitation. So they are big- tov. one of the architects of the Soviet-Yugoslav break, has not been in charge of Kremlin foreign policy for a year.

(It would ill behoove us in the West to read the Molotov move any more encouragingly than Tito must. This is clearly another maneuver in a long series designed to the world on the "break with Stalinism. Some suggest that Tito may well believe that he is acting from strength, that he is now so fixed 1 economically and militarily that he can deal with the Kremlin on his own He may be gambling, in other words, that he can move closer to Russia without being gobbled up as just another satellite. WHATEVER Tito does, it is the view of seasoned judges that the United States need have no regrets at having extended him one billion dollars since 1950. This aid contributed heavily to his independence at a time when that was vital to the peace and security of Southeast Europe.

It helped produce stability in that region when turnmoil would have worked only to Russia's advantage. In 1952. for example. Italy held its most critical elections and the result might not have favorable for the West had a Russian-dominated Yugoslavia been at border. By the same token, we could not have hoped for so reasonable a settlement of the thomv Trieste issue had Tito not at the time been detached from allegiance to Moscow.

Some feel that despite all this we should not give him another dollar if he gives even the appearance of lining up with Russia. Others think that since past aid has paid off we ought to gamble as Tito himself may be gambling. That is the question we must now decide, not in rage at the changing face of things, but calmly and solemnly in the light of our best interest. ger than Stalin There is danger, however, in their coming to this country and all the agencies oi government, including the Army. Navy, FBI.

and police will have to be mobilized. There are a great many in the United States whose relatives were murdered, about 20, 000.000 ofthem died, in the manmade famine that Stalin in that country and that Khrushchev carried out. There are millions of people in the United States of Polish. Czechoslovakian, and Hungarian oncin who axe deeply embittered against both Khrushchev and Bulganin for what happened to their countries before and since Stalin died. So to start with, it must be made certain that no ticker-tape parade is held in New York because who knows what will be thrown besides ticker-tape? It used to be a custom to tear up telephone books and throw the torn pages out of the window.

But who will guarantee that no one will throw entire Manhattan telephone books, each one of which weighs about five pounds? It would be awful if one of those books hit Khrushchev and hr konked out. The Russians would then have a for war. For while Khrushchev is not the head of state, he is more than that 1st he head of the Party. Whereas the Czar regarded himself as the successor to Augustus Caesar. Klirushchev is succesor to Karl Marx.

Is such a man to be konked out by a telephone book? And who says that they will limit themselves to telephone books? They might use tomatoes and cabbages and who knows what else? Who, in fact, ran say what aberrations the human mind can develop under such circumstances? At Christ Church. Oxford, the British police found six Stalins watting to receive Khrushchev and Bulgarin, so the cavalcade was diverted from this beautiful college. Besides, the words Christ and church, combined or separated, would have been too much for these travelers. Here we would not limit ourselves to six Stalins. We would have, at least.

Then would come the American Legion, the Catholic War Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Jewish League Acainst Communism, possibly with Senator Joe McCarthy on a White Horse and Sentor Bill Knowland and Senator Jenner leading the remains of the pre-1952 Republican Party.

The two parades would men at Union Square where Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Professor Corliss Lamont would deliver addresses of welcome before the riot started. No! New York is no place for Khrushchev and Bulganin. Maybe it would be smarter to have them come directly to Washington if Congress is not in session. Otherwise, they would have to be asked to address Congress and Khrushchev would, with his naive frankness, tell Congress to go to the devil. as he does not believe in such antiquated and obsolescent institutions.

It is definitely smarter to bring these people to Washington and to keep them there. New York or Chicago are dangerous places for such as they. It would also not be sound for anyone to accept a sable stole from them. The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee would start an investigation into who stole the stole from whom and whether the Morganthau Diaries predicted that Khrushchev would succeod Stalin and if Harry Dexter White is responsible. My fervent advice to Khrushchev and Bulganin is to stay home where their enemies are less articulate.

But now, thanks to almost constant precipitation this fcprtng. all 12 major index wells in Ohio are above the levels of last year, and seven of the 12 are above the five-year average of 1949-53. Most of the rise came in the usually sunny month of May since only three of the wells were above the five-year average at the end of April. At the end of the month, only three of the five wells below the average were more than one foot down. a far cry from the water-panic days of Just two and three years ago.

This calendar year started very bad. since both January and February were deficient in rainfall. But the "lousy came to our rescue, and the heavy rains of April and May actually kept most wells recharging when they would, normally, have started their seasonal drop. Dayton had the least rain, with 4.02 inches, but this .48 increase boosted the above average fall for the water year to 1.89 satisfactory figure indeed.

And. while the other stations keep pace with soaking- wet Akron Canton. Cleveland. Youngstown and Cincinnati, all showed more than five inches of rain for the month, to give them a surplus fall for the water year to date of 9.54 5.99, and 5.79 inches respectively. Toledo.

What Is the origin of the word Who discovered insulin? Who was t.hc first president to make a tour of the states by rail? What is the meaning of the new word (ANSWERS ON CLASS Manners is a vacation not a vacation? Quite a few wives could raise their hands and answer that question with dispatch. A vacation is not a vacation, one wife would say, when we do what we do every year, load the kids in the car in the middle of the summer heat and drive a thousand miles each way to visit my people. With young children that kind of a vacation can be real work, as any number of wives have written me to say.

Another vacation some women comsider is no vacation at all is when the family supposedly roughs it with Mama cooking three meals a day with maeshift equipment. If the cooking, dishwashing, laundering, go on just the same for the housewife when you expect her to feel much less tired when she gets back home than she was when she left. Some men think the ideal vacation is Just to be able to stay away from the office for two weeks, spending the time at home. But that again is no vacation for the housewife. Her Job goes on just the same as it does the other 50 weeks in the year.

So it is important for a family, when planning a vacation, to make sure that it is going to be a real vacation for every member of the family not jqst for Papa and the kids. Just as much as Papa needs to get away from the office, Mama needs to get away from the kitchen and to have a vacation spot whci the kids arc as little trouble as possible. Think it over. men.

A person with too much extra time can be a real problem to friends who have enough to do all they to do. An increasing amount of attention is now being accorded that strange disease of man known as muscular dystrophy. The fact that there are believed tc be in the neighborhood of 200,000 affected by 011 variety or another of this disease in the United States alone indicates its importance. The most encouragng development of recent years steins from the formation of an organization aimed to encourage and support research work on muscular dystrophy. This is the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America (39 Broadway, New York 6.

N. Y. Its latest pamphlet states that s.nee its founding in June of 1950, it has received funds totaling more than $9,000,000. Nearly $6000,000 has been devoted to research and patient care. The organization lists 64 research grants to individuals and institutions in this country and abroad between March 31, 1954 and Oct.

I. 1955. This certainly indicates progress an dsuggests that the solution to at least some of the problems connected with muscular dystrophy may not be far off. There are several forms of the disease. They are all somewhat alike in that there is wasting of the muscles and weakness.

Al) types are considered to be iruly inherited. Tins hereditary nature seems pretty well established since the disease is about three times as frequent in men as in women and almost half of those afflicted with the disease have some other member of their family showing the same illness. Why it is inherited, however, is a different matter and this surely is one of the problems which must be investigated. It is known, too. that at least some of those afflicted with muscular dystrophy show certain chemical changes in their systems which can be identified.

Perhaps here will lie the clue which may ultimately lead to either prevention or treatment of the disease. Signs ef muscular dystrophy generally appear early in life and the symptoms are likely to be progressive. There are differences, however, since some varieties appear most frequently in one part of the body and some in another. Orthopedic measures which may prevent, or at least lessen, deformities are of value. Also, regular stretching exercises are said to be useful.

Long term rest in bed is net generally desirable because this tends to speed the process of muscular weakening. There is much to learn about the muscular dystrophies. But surely the encouragement to research now going 011 should give comfort and courage to the victims of muscular dystrophy as well as to their family and friends. A perfect marriage is one where joy is doubled and trouble is divide.
