Show This Time for Peace Accorded Rare Tribute Wins Honor; Named 101'sr Senator By HOLMES ALEXANDER WASHINGTON, D. C WEDNESDAY,: AUGUST 26, 1959 The Immediate Danger in Laos pro-Weste- - : . spired and supplied by Red-hel- d North Viet Nam and Red China, have evidently pushed alarmingly within 50 miles of the Laotian " capital, Vientiane. On its western fringes, Laos has a small border with neutral Burma, and a long crucial border with Thailand, a principal Western ally in southeast Asia. Both of these nations would be under increasing pressure and peril should Lao's come under Communist domina' tion. . ' -- ; rn Democrats don't like to feel they should have to thank Vice president Nixon for anything, except maybe providing them- with a 'handy target. Nevertheless, Mayor Robert Wagner of New York seems to owe him something. . - Demo- cratic leaders in New York that Wagner will be named next year as the state 'delegation's "favorite son" for the vice presi, dency. Now, time was when the mere mention of your name in connection with the number two spot on the ticket suggested you were somebody's favorite son." Even Mr. Harry Truman,. in Chicago in 1944, wired a friend back home and pleaded: "Come on down here and help prevent me being nominated for vice president!" Nixon, more than anybody else in history, has changed all that. He's made the .job bustling, im lilt ; . -- portant; exciting. Wagner can thank Nixon' that the job is no longer a siepping- stone to oblryion. 1 . marching. - . It was a du "Call day. your home," said Dee our Gal Friday in the Caufman, Senate press gallery.

(E. F. Kohman, Merchantville, N.Y.) Chiang was elected President by the First" Constitutional National Assembly of China in April, 1948 and reelected by the Assembly in March, 1954. A new election is due in 1960. Such elections, in a country new to democratic procedure, sometimes leave something to be gesired. They resemble those in some American cities. "I've had great respect for your . opinion but believe this time your ' ' . v judgment is not correct. I deplore ' Khrushchev's visit, consider it a com-- J plete diplomatic victory for the USSR and Great Britain,' and I believe that the American public feels as I do." (Mrs. G. A. R., Colmar, Pa.) I. agree entirely with you about Khrushchev's victory. There is something disturbing about the United States inviting the visit of a tyrant even neutral Sweden does not want. But I think the American public is against you and me and considers that the President should do anything that may forestall a nuclear war even things pf which our descendants will jiot be proud; "Why do columnists and newspaper editorials refer to Khrushchev v : "Don't you think showing Khrushchev the reality of American power will cause him to call off his ambi- -' tious Imperialism?" (J. S.. Monterey, Cal.) No, It may cause him to substitute honeyed lies for threats and promises. But as a Soviet realist, he knows that more important than military and economic power is the will to use it in -- ' as "Czar Khrushchev? Surely he out- -, czars any previous ones even Ivan the Terible. Is there any better way to bring home to the Russian people that their revolution only succeeded in substituting a more terrible dic- tatorfor the one they, murdered." (C. D. Gibbs, Huntington, Pa.) Russians and foreigners sometimes referred to Stalin as "Vohzd" or "Fuehrer" to bring home the similarity between his Red Fascists and Hitler's Nazis. "Czar" is too" respectable a title, going back to the Roman Caesars some of whom were great and humane men such as Marcus Aurelius, .Actually, Khrushchev has not yet equalled Stalin in ferocity and to the long suffering Russians his rule seems rela-- . tively tolerable. So far he has, I suspect, stopped short of Ivan the Terrible whom Stalin greatly exceeded in" cruelty. I think the generation that made the revolution understands what a mistake it made in substituting Lenin for Czar. v Nicholas. But the younger people have grown up under and probably find it difficult to imagine anything bet- -' ter.

It is therefore up, to Mr. K. to decide whether he wishes his wife to accompany him. So far the United States State Department has not received any decision from him.

(Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) " Proper Han Is There is probably nothing bound with tradition and prej-- , udice as the care of babies. Anyone and everyone offers free advice on how the baby should be fed, clothed and how it should be trained. Most of this advice is worth what is paid for it exactly nothing. It is given with the intentions, but- usually comes froni a strange mixture of grandmother did, or what - what somebody's neighbor or aunt - said. A- - few years ago, the late Dr. C Anderson Aldrich and Mrs. Aldrich wrote a book called "Babies are Human Beings" which I hope is still in print The main theme is that babies should not be treated alike, because individual personalities would have little chance to develop. As the Aldriches' point out, babies are different even at birth. In a hospital nursery for newborns, a great difference between one baby and another in appearance and behavior can be noticed. Every mother instinctively recognizes that her baby . is "different." One question which the Aldriches discuss is about fondling oi loving babies. Conscientious mothers often ask whether fond best - , fth ling is proper. For some reason they sometimes feel that it may be wrong for babies to be rocked., hugged or. mothered, and that the infant in order to be healthy' must be raised as practically "untouched by human hands." It is not good, of course, for a baby to have excessive fondling by friends and relatives. Like everything else, this matter can be overdone, as more people who come in close contact with the baby there is a greater chance of giving the infant some infection. To' feel that a mother and fatherhould not give the infant physical affection, however, is to inflict unintended cruelty i Everyone thrives on some affection and probably infants most of all. Of course, it is good to fondle babies good for the thex parents., and for good baby This does not mean bouncing a baby around roughly or exposing it unnecessarily to colds tr other infections. , Two principles should govern: treat' a baby as you would like to be treated if you were young and helpless; and remember that signs of affection are appreciated even before a child can talk. The rewards of proper handling in infancy will be reaped when, the child gets older. Millett Middle Years Can Be Busy 'Our house seems so empty now that our youngest ' child; has left home. What can I "do to keep from feeling completely useless?" asks a woman of 55. First, you can start being a e wife. Any woman who is so wrapped up in her children that her only thought when they are finally grown is, "what can I do with myself?" is sure to have been taking her husband for granted through the years.

This word comes from the Greek, and means "inextinguishable" or "unquench-.- . able." , The minerals that are palled asbestos are of many kinds, and the fibers made from them vary in strength, flexibility, and usefulness. Asbestos has been known for centuries. In ancient temples it was used for' torch wicks and to protect altar fires. The Romans f used it 2,000 years ago for winding sheets to preserve the ashes of the dead when bodies were cremated. However, it was only a very rich afford such a i person who could ' ceremony. Since asbestos is made up of fibers, it is similar to cotton and wool; But of course it has the great advantage of being, heat resistant. For this reason it has many uses in industry for whicn there are no substitutes. Asbestos is the only mineral that can be spun into yarn or thread, woven into col th, or . felted into sheets and packages. Asbestos can withstand temperatures of 2,000 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and some varieties can resist temperatures of 5,000 degrees! The United States leads ihe world Jn the manufacture of asbestos, producing almost half of the world's supply. However, the United States furnishes less than 5 per cent of the raw material needed for the manufacture of asbestos. . The mineral is found in many parts of the world, but the province of Quebec Canada, furnishes about 75 per cent of the annual supply. Rhodesia and the Union of South . 1 1 - j . 1 put aside something for the years v ahead. ' If you've been frugal all your life,, maybe now is the time to start living it up a little.

Asbestos is. found in veins in Certain types of rocks,' and is mined from great open pits.' It is often necessary to mine and treat as much as 50 tons of rock to ton of asbestos fiber! The "price of asbestos used to be so high, that. its use was limited. After the, 19th century however, production methods improved and the price was reduced so that industry could use it in fire prevention and fire proofing. The most, important use for asbestos is in producing brake shoes and clutch, linings' for automobiles. Other uses include curtains in theatres, and insulating buildings and pipe coverings, roofing shingles and covers for boilers. pro-duee-o- The word "asbestos" is "a commercial term.
