Show Design Clothes? Nope... Roads Are Groovier By DAVID W. CHUTE , - Mrs. Artine HIGHLAND, MICH. Rininger warded to be a fashion designer, but instead she designs roads. Some of them are among the finest roads in the country, and some are among the worst. In both cases it's intentional, for car testing purposes. Mrs. Rininger works at the General Motors proving ground in Milford, Mich., a far cry from her Rhode Island girlhood when she hoped fashion would be her r ' Wi . -- iKVt a. field. vNVt' Her talent with a different kind of figures led her to become a mathematics major at Pembroke College, the women's branch of Brown University in Providence, R.I., and on graduation she was hired by GM to work on their proving grounds recording test data on military vehicles being developed for the Army during World War II. Mrs. Rininger recalls that she arrived in Michigan before her baggage did, and she spent the first week on the job climbing in and out of tanks in high heeied shoes and fur coats. She was doing drafting work on vehicular designs after the war ended, when one day her boss dropped a volume on her desk. It was an intellectural exercise by Robert McNeal, of GM's technical data department, on full something called Cornus Spiral, of fundamental equations on requirements for building a high speed car track. Mrs. Rininger spent two months figuring out Cornu s Spiral and filling in the intermediate steps not included in the original treatise. One of her most unusual assignments was to build a road with all the wrong e nightbankings. She created a mare of incorrectly canted curves, chatter bumps, potholes and a hundred other hazards found on rural highways. It's use was to test the handling qualities of cars under the worst possible conditions. The GM proving ground also has antest road a other Rininger-designemile closed circuit four-lan- e Each lane is designed highway. for different speeds up to So miles A driver in any lane, if maintaining that lane's speed, can travel completely around the loop without once having to turn the wheel. Mis. Rininger's roads must be designed on paper before being poured in concrete. Asked if she worried whether they would perform properly, she said: During the construction period I have had some qualms, but I knew, mathematically, that it had to work and it did.

Are they any better for one who is supposed to go easy on fats? J.M. He has shown an uncharacteristic petulance toward Republican freshmen who question his leadership and a sharpness toward leporters who criticize his actions. He has also lost the sublime subtlety with which he used to pull strings for his law clients in the Senate. Answer: Dont expect me to give you or no either that everybody should use them, or nobody should. It isnt that simple. But then, as our world grows more complicated, we have to make more sophisticated decisions. He has been rather obvious, for example, about seeking protection for the steel industry from foreign competition. His Peoria, HI., law firm has represent-e- d know y a flat yes Whether the cream substitutes are better for a person depends on his purpose in using them. Some possibilities: 1 You want to cut down total calories. You have to limit fats. 3 You seek to limit saturated (or animal) fats. Actually the normal fat in cream varies. Some cows produce cream with more fat than others. There are light creams and heavy; theres f. , calories per tablespoon. heavy cream runs about 55 per table- 20 spoon. The cream substitutes list the calorie value in teaspoons,' rather than table10 to 13 calories per teaspoonspoons ful. At three teaspoons to a tablespoon you can figure it out for yourself: about 7 calories per teaspoon; cream substitutes 10 to 13; heavy cream about 18. How many calories you get from which product depends, obviously, not only on the product but the amount you use! Now as to the type of fat: cream contains animal fat, or saturated fat. The substitutes are made chiefly from corn syrup solids and vegetable oils unsaturated fats. The general belief is that the unsaturated fats contribute less to hardening of the arteries and high cholesterol than the saturated fats. From that standpoint, the cream substitutes are preferred. But lets not lose our common sense about this. Theres little point in switching to cream substitutes if, in the rest of your eating, you load up on considerably larger quantities of animal fats, either as fat meat or animal fats in other forms. One other consideration: lactose (milk sugar) is added to some of the cream substitutes, and the sugar (carbohydrate) content can run as high as 17 percent. Because of this, I think diabetics should be cautious about using them. lf he to a ;r. 1 1 of ine ;n. vIE ful ter hot , I If md DV- - as IUS, sal sal iov the inal ays to r of jins ink- - ter- - rry! fall 3CK rive such steel clients Dear Dr. Thosteson: Years ago I had a serious itching problem with my ear and scratched it with a bobby pin.

United Pi ess International NEWS DESERET Nevertheless, Dirksen continues to pressure the White House not only for tighter import controls but for approval to set up U.S. steel mills overseas. This would permit the big steel companies to hire cheap foreign labor, thus slashing their labor costs. In all his backroom activity for the steel interests, old Ev has also become uncommonly abusive toward the Japanese. He presses the cause of steel and his campaign against the Japanese every opportunity he gets to slip in an oiled word. During President Nixon's private report to congressional leaders on his overseas trip, for example, Dirksen found a chance to bring up his favorite subject. The President suggested that the time t had come cautiously to lower East-Wes- trade barriers. I want to interpose a difference, objected Dirksen in his best basso Some countries think they have a vested intet est in U.S. trade. pro-fund- Other congressional leaders easily recognized that he was referring to Japan. Then he launched into a melodious tirade on the detrimental effect any would have on trade liberalization shoes and steel.. He wound up with the argument that steel companies, in order to compete, must be permitted to move their plants overseas. The President replied that an easing of trade restrictions would raise the per capita income in Communist countries and permit them to buy more U.S. goods. Then he moved on to another phase of his trip. He didnt mention Japan, except to say briefly that she should play a bigger re'e in the' Asian economy. The subject of Okinawa didnt even come up. Yet Dirksen, when he later summarized the presidential briefing for Republican senators at a closed-doo- r policy luncheon, devoted his entire report to trade. He Japan, Okinawa and East-WeWe got so steamed up over Okinawa took it by the blood of our men and we should never give it back to Tennessee that his Japan Sen. Howard Baker, tried to quiet him.

PENTAGON PUZZLEMENT Pentagon strategists are still puzzling lull in enemy activiover the eight-weety in Vietnam. The Communists are poised in striking positions in a number of places, and ceptuied documens show picparations for an offensive. Yet the lull continues. Most military experts believe that Hanoi is merely waiting for the best time to strike another blow. Some think the Communists will lay low for a few months because they dont want to discourage American withdrawals. Others contend that the Communists would like to disrupt an orderly American phaseout and, therefore, that they can be expected to attack at any time. President Nixon during his recent Vietnam visit studied the battlefield situation intently. Afterward, he remarked privately that he was impressed with the possibility that the enemy lull may be a measure of our own military effectiveness. U.S. forces have inflicted heavy losses upon the enemy. However, the President also raised another possibility. He suggested that the ' Communists may simply be trying to keep our casualty rate high enough to be unacceptable to us yet low enoi jh not to provoke U.S. military retaliation. camThe electronic sensors, infra-re- d eras and other devices, which are supposed to monitor the infiltration of North Vietnamese into the South, show a substantial decline in the infiltration rate. But other intelligence sources indicate that the North Vietnamese have managed to infiltrate in large numbers without detection. They have enough troops and supplies, for example, to attack Tay Ninh near the Cambodian border. Meanwhile, the Hanoi government has given no hint in Paris that the military inaction means they are ready to negotiate a Vietnam truce.
