Dut the threat that began 14 months ago to upset Tito when the Comlnform read him out of the Communist party developed long ago into frequent shootings along the satellite borders. Diplomats in Belgrade frankly were worried. As an example of the jittery situation, one embassy thought it had an Inside tip on an "invasion date. THE QUESTION of American Involvement was not quit as academic as it might appear. With the issue squarely joined between Communism and the west, and with the U.S. serving as the arsen al of the west, involvement as a result of any warlike Kremlin move was an possibility. ever-prese- EXCISE TAX: Not This Year All hope for any reduction this year of federal excise taxes appeared doomed as congress shut the door on the issue. Excise taxes are collected on such items as furs, jewelry, luggage, cosmetics, transportation and telephone bills. DOUGliTON CHAIRMAN of the taxwriting N.C.) D house ways and means committee issued a statement saying that he sees no prospect for a reduction in these taxes now. He gave as a reason the federal deficit threat of more than five billion dollars in the current fiscal year. To clarify the subject for consumers, he added: "I believe it is important to make this clear so that consumers will not postpone the purchase of goods subject to tax in the hope of an immediate reduction. BUT HE HELD out hope of tax reliefs in the future. He said he had requested the congressional staff of tax experts to begin now a study of possible tax revisions and reductions for the consideration of congress next year. There was a hint, however, that if present excises are lowered, some other taxes may be increased unless federal expenditures are reduced. There remained a middle course, Doughton went on, which might provide a reasonable reduction in government expenditures, to require some increase in taxes where the increase can be borne without disturbing the economy, and to provide for a reduction in those taxes which are crippling enterprise and interfering with business expansion. ACID TEST: Fails For Granny The gambling grandmother of Gardena, Calif., had a relapse. MRS. SULA BELL STIMSON, had been stricken with a compelling urge to gamble. She reached the stage where she forged checks with which to obtain funds for poker playing. She just couldnt resist the yen to see what that next card would be. Last November she was brought into court for her weakness and was placed on probation for three years. Last April she was arrested again and a physician testified she had undergone a personality change from a normal housewife to a person afflicted with a craving for Rambling. HE SAID doses of glutamic acid had been used with some success in similar cases, recommended such treatment for Mrs. Stimson. The court agreed, and she was released to the custody of her family with court orders to continue 49, the treatment. It didn't work. The gambling grandmother had succumbed again to the fascination of the poker deck. The acid test had failed.

In bers they are pulling out of the great centers in China. And with them goes inevitably the prospect fur any important trade agreements between the United States and Communist China. Yet there was an annoying paradox in the situation for the Chinese friends of the Kremlin. For the fact was that the Reds would have to turn to the United Slates if they were to obtain many things they need to fill the gaping holes in China's distraught economy. THE American state department and other U S. officials are Incensed at the way American officials and private citizens have been treated by the Communists In China. They apparently have come to the conclusion that nothing can be accomplished by maintaining large consulate staffs in cities where the Reds have trken over. Weeks of trying to come to some terms with the Communists show nothing but failure. To the Initiate, this came as a surprise to U.S. policy makers. They had expected that as the Chinese Communists poured into Shanghai and other coastal points they would take a attitude toward the Americans. They also figured that the Communists would have to do business with the U.S., Inasmuch as they would have to look to the West rather than Russia for Imports to meet China's economic needs. But somehow or other it didn't work out that way. rat-hol- &ACK-- TROUTE lOf EVENTS.
