Negotiations to this end are not yet complete, and no formal notification of the action has yet been given. Stripped of these diplomatic niceties, however, it is fair to say that the Italians are going to recognize Peking and that our government knows it. The Italians have been talking with the Chinese government for some time about an exchange of ambassadors. Those talks, at the ambassadorial level in Paris, are reported here to hive paralleled the Canadian-Chines- e talks, but to be somewhat less advanced. The prediction is that the negotiations between Italy and China will reach Jie same conclusion, a recognition agreement, some and on the basis of what is now time soon being called the "Canadian formula" in diplomatic circles. The talks between Canada and Communist China were stalled for some time on the question of whether Canada would recognize Peking's claim to jurisdiction over Taiwan seat of the Nationalist Chinese government. The final agreement between Canada and China, announced earlier this month, hedged on that point. In a Joint communique, China restated its view that Taiwan (Formosa) is "an inalienable part" of its territory. Canada said only that it "takes note" cf that Peking claim. The Canadian parliament was later told that it was not appropriate for Canada to endorse or challenge the claim. So the Canadian terms, accepted by the g Mao government, do not really come to grips with the question of who controls Taiwan and whether there are two Chinese governments or only one. What is important is that U.N. ENTRE? a formula has now been devised to crumble the old wall of opposition to Chinese diplomatic initiatives. Over the years, that wall has been patched and filled and kept intact mostly by the efforts of the United States. Now Canada, literally the closest of U.S. allies, has opened a hole and Italy, one of the NATO allies, is about to folbw suit. The advantages of normal trade and commercial relationships with mainland China have apparently come to outweigh a desire to accommodate the United States in this ROME Tse-tun- regard. This change in attitudes has serious imold controversy over plications for the China's representation in the United Nations.

However, Dr. Borlaug himself sees the crisis ahead as one of overpopulation.

Senator McGovern is expected to announce formally as a candidate in January. An of See has been opened in Washington to explore the outlook for Senator Hughes. Senator Muskie is openly a candidate, though unannounced. Senator Bayh has entered the field more recently on the basis of his prominence in the Senate rejection of two Supreme Court nominees and the fight for two constitutional amendments. The two Midwesterners, Hughes and Bayh, were elected in states which were strong for Nixon in the 1968 presidential election, and both of them, from the beginning of their Senate terms, looked upward to higher things. the problem of overpopulation been recognized as a threat of ultimate Each of them, of course, modestly dismisses the thought that he has set his course for the presidency, but there is plenty of for the evidence that both wish to place nomination if Muskie were themselves in an "available" nominated for President. production have prevented the Malthusian prediction of mass starvation from coming true thus far, but only in the last few years has disaster.

In the wake of the Canadian-Chines- e agreement, it was reported in Washington that Peking had withdrawn its demand for endorsement, of its Taiwan claim in return for a Canadian pledge to vote for admission of Communist China to the United Nations. Unspecified Canadian diplomats were quoted as saying that Canada would probably vote in the UN "consistently" with the new recognition agreement. Informed sources here report that there is hope that Italy will not make any on the matter. In any event, however, a recognition step by Italy will a second certainly be a new invitation for reconsideration by others who notice have long held that the government of mainland China has not shown that it is entitled to membership in the "family of nations." A showdown could come rather quickly. The General Assembly is expected to reconsider the question of Chinese membership during the United Nations session which began with much anniversary fanfare last week. - SOFTER STAND? Against this background, there have been occasional faint bints that the United States might be preparing to alter, somewhat, its stand against recognition of China and China's admission to the United Nations. Even when he was campaigning for the White House, with the assertion that he did not favor recognition of China or its ad- mission to the United Nations "at this time," Mr. Nixon said he did not rule out those steps when and if Chinese leaders changed their policies. The President recently restated the view that closer ties to China must come eventually. After the President met at the White House earlier this week with Nationalist Premier C.K. Yen, press secretary Ron Ziegler in trigued newsmen by saying that the United States would oppose any plan which admitted the Communist government to tlie United NatLns "at the expense of" the Nationalist government of Chiang Ziegler would not elaborate. Kai-she- With defections clearly In the offing, it is possible that Mr. Nixon has concluded that the United States can no longer fashion a coalition of nations which will flatly and wholly rebuff Communist China. Ziegler's unexplained comments were certainly subject to the interpretation that the United States might not go all out against a policy of two Chinas represented at the United Nations.

As projected, the new highway would oe north of Hoover's upon that bench of stabilized material, and would swing in a gradual arc to the north abutment of the Deer Creek dam. Travelers on that portion of the new highway would be provided a spectacular view both up and down Provo Canyon, a luxury denied them as they drive hell- bent and bumper over the existing canyon road. Furthermore, the loose and broken shale and other rocks in that part of the canyon would not be cut into for the new highway; it would be north of this rubble, and an ancient upon (geologically speaking) but now stabilized landform. Dealing With Hazards Yes, there are existing geological hazards; numerous of Utah's highways traverse our canyons through magnificent mountains, and mountains contain much of our geological scenery and at- tendant hazards to driving. However, we just cannot back off and build highways and other structures in the plains, because a different set of geological circumstances exist there.

A Democrat, though, obscure now, might have a chance to Nixon make a one-ter- m President in the kind of negative or passive political atmosphere which seems to prevail in the 1970 elections.

Bayh's staff has recently been expanded with politically-minde- d assistants. Both Bayh and Hughes will have campaigned in 40 states when the election is over, and thus are pursuing a political technique which served well in the nomination campaigns of two Republicans, Barry Gold-watand Richard M. Nixon. er But what Bayh, Hughes and McGovern seem to be counting on most is some kind of a political revulsion to Nixon which will cause the Democratic Party to seek a new and younger image. Hughes is 48, and Bayh is 42. Both have strongly masculine personalities. Either would also be available for the if Edward M. Kennedy became a candidate. No, Kennedy is not a candidate andjrobably will not become a candidate in the conventional sense.

The Doctor Says Shingles, Chicken Pox Caused by Same Virus Dear Dr. Lamb I have contracted the "shingles" and am in terrible pain. Would you please tell me what to do and how long it will last? Dear Reader "Shingles" are caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. Characteristically, "shingles" or herpes zoster occurs in adults, although it can occur in children. In most cases, the adult has previously had chicken pox. The virus may remain in a dormant state for years and then become active. Usually a nerve root is involved.

I rest my case. the rib from the spine, halfway around the chest. The band of pain may exist for several days before any changes in the skin are noted. In this time interval the doctor often has trouble discovering the cause of the severe pain. Then a rash, such as that seen in chicken pox, occurs along the rib. The period of acute pain usually lasts 10 to 21 days, but the area may be sore for some time thereafter. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be given to eliminate the condition except medicine to relieve pain, so the disease usually runs its course. Pain medicine and tincture of time are all than can be offered. If the skin gets infected, the infection has to be treated. Dear Dr. Lamb I am 62 years old. Recently when I urinate I notice that I am passing blood. I have had prostatitis in the past and I have passed stones. I do not have any pain or hurt anyplace. Could it be cancer of the kidneys or prostate gland? Dear Reader Yes, it could. If it is painless bleeding it is probably not stones. The only way you can find out the cause is from a com- plete examination. |
