Now Mother Bells worms are turning cn her with a wholly uncharacteristic snarL On Manhattans East Side, in the district that houses the officers of much of s the ad industry, many hotels (including the Waldcrf) and such presti first-clas- gious shops as Tiffanys, two ad agencies have issued formal and highly public howls of protest against the phone company. Both agencies are served, so to speak, by the Plaza 8 exchange, which seems to be the most jammed-u- p of all the citys troubled exchanges. And both agencies complained that hundreds of calls aimed enough skilled personnel around to keep up with the job, anyway. It is, of course, sad to see Mother Bells skirts besmirched after all these years of living above suspicion. But the real fear goes deeper than just some (hopefully) temporary troubles in New Yoric. All this while, as everything else in our civilization has kept breaking down more frequently and more severely, Mother Bell has been a symbol and a sign that our civilization could indeed work, that the mess at the airports and the state legislatures and in the slums and the colleges and the coal mines and the appliance stores and the auto showrooms was all just a mistake not an in- evitability. Now the world is proving too much for Mother Bell, too, even she, and how can we ever have the old faith again?

She also telephoned his brother - in law, Steve Smith, who serves as business manager for the clan, to ask whether there was anything she could do. Thats the way it has been with Jackie since she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. She has carefully maintained her ties with the Kennedy family. Rose Kennedy, for example, spent the Easier holiday as Jackies guest aboard the Onassis yacht Christina. Afterward, Jackie sent the family matriarch some books on Greek history and invited her to come to Greece for a visit. But if the relationship between Jackie and her former family seems warm, intimates say it is and it isnt Jackie always resisted the suffocating embrace of dan even while she was its most She didnt like the spirit that encroached on her independence. Now a tinge of aloofness is manifest in her independenre For despite the surface sweetness and seeming closeness, say intimates, Jackie takes a quiet satisfaction in having escaped the Kennedy hold.

Today, she is still the Queen, who lives as royally, dresses as dazziling-l-y and entertains as extravagantly as any monarch. Since her marriage last October, she has been on a glorious spending spree. She walks into any store of her choosing, helps herself to whatever she wants and stalls off, trailed by servants burdened down with bundles. She pays no cash, signs no bills. Her face is her credit card. Store owners, recognizing the famous lady, realize that Aristotle will ) make good. She buys $1,000 and $2,000 gowns by the dozen.

Her jewelry, by one estimate, Is worth a cool $5 million. She has also traveled the world over, living for short periods in various villas and apartments in Athens, Paris, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Monte Carlo, New York and he; favorite island retreat of Skorpios. The villa on Skorpios was furnished by Onassiss former love, opera star Maria Callas, at a reported cost of $500,000. Jackie decided to throw all Marias expensive furniture out and is flying in her own selections from as far away as New York City. When Jackie jets across the oceans, she always buys four tickets because she doesnt like to have people sitting near her. Insiders say the Onassises are quite happy. Jackie managed to spend only about $125,000 on herself during her marriage to the late President Kennedy. She positively delights now in being able to buy anything she wants, including the stores. And Ari doesnt seem to mind her fabulous spending. Only the children, apparently, preferred life with the Kennedy, and sometimes seem to resent their new stepfather. Jackie is aware of her childrens feelings, but depends on Papas pocketbooks to assuage the pain.

These are the people, the ad moaned, that you havent been able to reach' at Plaza 8 6200. The other agency, a smaller outfit called J. Maxwell Kohler Advertising, Inc., said that it had returned the phone companys two most recent bills and would continue the practice until our phones are m perfect working order. Kohler claimed that it had lost at least $15,000 m yearly business as a direct result of the lack of phone service. One client apparently didn't believe that anybodys phones could be out of order that much, and he transferred his account to another agency that he could get through to. Mother Bell has answered all these complaints with a weary sigh of acknowledgment and a promise to do better within a couple of years. In her own de- isional 6 A 19 Monday, at qgmmwm.1 W v SNWlfe Along the way, the U.S. phone system built itself a reputation for reliability second only to the tides. The air may be unbreakable and the water unshrinkable, the mail may stack up and the railroads run cn triangular wheels but Mother Bell tinkles into eternity. Be it noel that this reputation stands in blatant contrast to the notoriety of similar institutions elsewhere. The Italian phone system is as big a joke as their army, for example. In Kenya last April, the delegates to the Regional Commerce Conference at Springs; 30 miles east of Nairobi, voted the telephone department the most unpopular organization of the ear in the whole republic. If cant happen here, cried the loyal sons of Mother Bell, and all the public relations releases seemed to hear them out.

Of Perspiration By GEORGE C. THOSTESON, M.D. ( Dear Dr. Thosteson: My son has trouble with sweating feet and it causes him embarrassment and discomfort at times. His socks collect dye from the shoe lining and it is impossible to wash out. I realize that the body has to throw off sweat somewhere, but he does it mostly through his feet. Is there any cure of this without damaging proper functioning of toe body? H.G.L Dear Doctor: I perspire excessively on my bead, but very little on the rest of my bodiy. It all seems to go to my head, I am tta good health otherwise. Mrs. OBJB. Answer: There are two main types of sweat glands. The eccrine glands are scattered over the body, but chiefly in toe forehead, chest, palms, and soles of toe feet, They give off a thin mixture of water and minerals and serve to regulate body temperature. The other type, the apocrine glands, are less numerous, secrete a heavier fluid, and are located in hairy areas, as armpits- We have no voluntary control over sweating. It depends on temperature and often temperament Nervous individuals have excessively moist glands and feet Fright can cause heavy sweating. Women with hot flashes may have beads of perspiration at forehead and temples. to control sweating with medication usually are unsatisfactory because toe amount of drug required so often results in unpleasant side effects. Use of female hormones, however, generally helps hot flashes in menopausal women. Attempts Suigfcal reverence of toe sympathetic nerve ichain is sometimes done in extreme! sweating of hands and feet. This, however, is a procedure. last-reso- rt Mrs. C. B. might well try one of the commercial antiperspirants on her forehead end around the edge of toe scalp. These sometimes work, sometimes not, as toeii; effect is local while the sweating process is from within. I dont know much else to suggest. The problem of H.G.I.s so.i is more serious, since skin of toe feet can become macerated for lack of evaporation. Painting just the soles of toe feet with a 3 to 5 per cent solution of formaldehyde may help. Soaking the feet in a 10 to 25 per cent solution of aluminum chlor-rid- e is worth trying. And use of any of the various foot powders daily is recommended. Sweat itself is not odorous. The odor results from bacterial growth in the warm, moist areas as armpits or feet. Thus scrupulous battling is important and since the odor comes from bacteria, ait antiseptic soap may reduce the amount; of bacteria substantially when odor is a problem.
