' Chopping Block r the problem of what to do with the leis ure time. The answer it has worked out By FRANK C. ROBERTSON Many Americans must feel that we have suffered a national humiliation about ' that plane that was shot down over Russia. The humiliating part, of course, is that we were caught lying. With true righteous American indignar tion we denied that the plane had been sent there to spy, and then when caught with the goods we confessed to the truth of the charge and made ourselves look in the eyes of the world. shabby I We now admit that the m is fun, fun, fun!

Eisenhower at his latest press conference set up a block against questions on the Soviet spy " affair. and he repeated it Flatly the President instructed that, at the conclusion of his prepared statement, there would be no ques- dent , !' The result was that the press corps put into practice the most remarkable brinkmanship ever wit" nessed in Washington. The problem was how to get a spy question across and yet avoid drawing Ike's lire. Chafing at the bit, nine enterpris-- . ing reporters managed a break through. They got their questions in by sheer tact and deft diplomacy true brinkmanship. Sample phrase: "If an 'American citizen were arrested hy a foreign government and brought to trial as a spy . . And .the President answered every one of them. Thus, this press conference produced no hot dis-- play of temipestuous emotion no, not on the spy affiar. But Mr. Eisenhower neglected to put into effect the same no-- i question rule on his past and rocky association with former President Harry Truman. As a result ... . whew! One must actually be present in the room to appreciate this vivid fourth dimension the inner manifestation when the President blows his stack. The question:' Would Mr. Eisen-- i hower speak out about Harry Tru-- i man's charge that Ike snubbed ' him? The President seeped into his lungs a deep, long breath. It returned as a stream of thin air .riding out on clipped words that said: "I just haven't time . . ." That was all, and he wheeled to dithe other side of the room rectly into the waiting words of Sarah McOendon, his chief chronic 4 - - a-ti- on.

At one residence for the aged, 30 older people the oldest 92 ; years take part In a five-da- y program that permits them to live at home, yet enjoy daytime companionship with people their own age. Fee for the program is a slid- ing one, adjusting to ability to pay. The home's limousine provides pickup service right after breakfast, returns the day-capeople to their homes after a a early supper. "The old folks enjoy a program planned especially for them," explained the home's supervisor. "Their children know the aged parents are happy and well cared Each What participant has day-car- e . , re t for." Throughout the day, these day- care people enjoy the same proresidents gram as do the 24-ho- ur of the home. For instance, they may take a seat at a long table in the home's workshop and busy themselves at a small, easy task, that will earn them some spending money. The job may be counting and boxing keys, assembling ballpoint ; pens or packing kits all tasks supplied by firms which are glad to supply work for these older people. Or perhaps the; "visitors", enjoy the occupational therapy program of. the home. Here one man, totally blind, works happily at a loom, making attractive : rugs.

Dear Reader: Marie Daerr is finable to answer questions except through the column. She appreciates your comments and questions but the volume of her mail makes personal replies : The substances in solution in contact with a membrane push against it and exert what is ed osmotic pressure. The sid? : with more particles of dissolved substance has the greater osmo- - , tic pressure, ' ahd therefore the direction in. which most of the traffic goes is from the region of greater to lesser pressure. But the j traffic moves in both direc- -' tions, for anything that can go through an osmotic membrans can also come out. In both plants and animals, materials move from cell to cell thrjough cell membranes, each . Plants takei water from the soil into their roots, and animals absorb digested foods from the intestines ;into the blood vessels. How does the water enter the roots? How do dissolved foods pass through the walls of animal intestines iandj capillaries? It is done through a process called osmosis. Any two gases placed side by1 side with nothing to separate them. will mix quickly. Most liquids will do the same, but much more slowly. Even solids may do the same thing. In osmosis, the mixing . goes on through a membrane, such as the thin walls of the tiny root hairs of a plant or the lining of the intestines. Thei membrane slows down thei mixing process, but does hot stop it. The most interesting thing about osmosis in. living things is that their membranes allow certain substances to pass through while: others are. stopped. What passes through is partly determined ,by the structure of a i substance always going more freely from the place where it is abundant to where It is scarce. The processes of osmosis and absorption can never stop in a living thing, 'or life would cease. . ; - TIME ',.:.' J TheFUNChuckle Box : 'i-- .j; Larry: I saw a cop chase a crook through a store.
