Show N James Reston Grin and Bear It Robert Ruark By Liclity The Salt Lake Tribune, Wednesday, March 4, If Viet War Expands-Wh- ats ' - In all the talk about the United States expanding the war into North Viet Nam, it is odd that nobody has even raised the question of seeking the approval of Congress for such a move. Legally, the President, obliged by the Constitution to protect .the security of the United States, may act on his own as commander in chief. Also, he is bound by the Southeast Asia Treaty, ratified by the Senate, to defend South Viet Nam against Communist aggression and such !f aggression has clearly taken place. ' Yet as President Harry S TYu- j man found in Korea, when he acted without-form- al congressional approval to carry out the Tesolution of the Security Council of the United Nations, there is a good case to be made for seeking congressional sanction on political and moral, if not on . constitutional, grounds. Despite all the casual talk about expanding the war in North Viet Nam, there is no reason to believe that President Johnson, particularly in a presidential election year, would do so unless he were suddenly faced with- - imminent loss of the war.

I suppose we could have cast Fagin as a Scandinavian, and we could have made a Black Muslim out of Hamlet, just to keep the books straight, and I suppose that the Italians have a point when they dont like to be portrayed as classic gangsters.

The defensive book was now in, and East exited with a club, putting declarer in ' the dummy. The fate of the contract rested entirely on how the trump suit was handled. A SMALL heart was led,-Eafollowed with the seven, and South, without any notice- st re-ent-er finesse. South drew the last trump and claimed the balance. , After accepting his 'part: admiring congratulations, South was called on to account for his extraordinary handling of the trump suit WITH SO FEW trumpsTn against me, I knew that after - East ruffed the diamond, the percentage play calls for a single finesse in hearts; however, I was able to glean some very pertinent information from the bidding which con- vinced me otherwise. -On the evidence available 7from the first four tricks, East was revealed to have four clubs and one diamond. HE MUST, therefore have four spades and four hearts,- because holding a five card suit he ' would hardly' have opened the bidding with one club. I accordingly played him for all the missing drumps- .- ur This was not done, however, despite general support in Congress at the time for Mr. Truman's decisions, on the ground that it would be foolish to have Congress debating whether to approve action that was already being taken by U.S. soldiers. -- NEVERTHELESS, one result was that Korea became a major political issue later when the Republicans referred to the conflict as Trumans war. Mr. Johnson, of course, knows all this because he participated in the discussions at the time, THE QUESTION, able' hesitation, played the eight of hearts from his hand. When West showed out, it became routine to the North hand with the ace of spades to repeat the heart ners instructed the Air Force to defend the South Korean air fields and help evacuate American civilians. The next day, Mr. Truman ordered Gen. Douglas to provide air and sea support to the South Koreans. It was on this same day "that Sen.

Dr. Van Dellen Advice to Cold Sufferers-Get- , however, is whether the problem is to be anticipated in time or left to drift until the President has to act in an emergency when it may not be possible or desirable "to have the. issue debated on The Hill. Maybe it will be necessary to bomb and blockade North Viet Nam, and if men and supplies from China are to be stopped, even beyond in South China. THE FRENCH and the British have their doubts, and the British Labor leader, Harold Wilson, who has been here this week, is clearly against it But the point is that a crisis could develop any day through the action of the North Vietnamese or the collapse of the vention by the U.S. at that moment would oblige Congress to finance a larger war and force the other allies of the SEATD treaty to consider . helpilig in the battle. Keep an Stay Lost The season for sore throats and runny noses is still with .us. The incidence of colds is no joking mat-- ter, considering the statistics "on absenteeism. The American "people have a billion colds - t- jK a year, which cause a loss of 80 million work days in Indus Dr. , try and more than 110 million Van Dellen school days annually. The common cold often includes a large group of upper respiratory infections. There are remedies galore but no cure. . f such as pneumonia, ear infections and sinusitis. The causative agents exist in the throat and nasal secretions. They are transmitted to others through sneezing, kissing, and the common use of towels,' drinking glasses and other freshly contaminated objects. The disease is most contagious just prior to and during the first few days of the illness. This means the victim can pass on the infection before he realizes he has it. . We hear much about pre- ventive vaccines but those developed for upper respiratory Infections are not as effective as the vaccines against other contagious diseases. The same applies to preventive medications. Other Ineffective recommendations include gargles, vitamins, and cold baths and other toughening procedures. OUR BEST BET is to avoid om colds.
