ed objective test materials, phonograph recordings, manuscripts for books, periodical articles, music, and certain other educational materials may be sent anywhere in the United States at the rate of 9 cents for the first pound and 5 cents for each additional pound.

Seeing Is Perceiving NEW YORK (UPD—Trying to anticipate conditions which may confront astronauts, nutrition scientists at the Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory put volunteers in a blacked-out room and fed them. The subjects could not detect any difference in the taste of white and whole wheat bread. They found all kinds of meat tasted the same. • Plain Gal: Plain Cakes CHICAGO (UPD—You can actually “read” the woman in the cake she bakes, physchologists recently reported to one maker of specialty cake mixes. Plain Jane makes plain cakes. Chic Sharon dresses up her cakes. And Neat Nellie shies from gooey frostings and fillings. It Says Here... NEW YORK (UPD—The Nutrition Foundation reports that the average person can lose one pound a week by cutting out 500 calories a day. Troubesome Two Bits BUFFALO, N.Y.

Ike’s Return Visit May Delay To June By LYLE C. WILSON United Pram Irtterrmitonal WASHINGTON (UPD Neatly packaged out of the EisenhowerKhrushchev meeting came some eggs—Republican eggs and all in one basket. There is a proverb about that which begins with two emphatic words: “Don’t put . . .” It is a good question today whether the springtime meeting between President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev in Moscow will be a greater boon to their respective grandchildren than to the Democratic Party. Springtime comes late in Moscow by American standards just as autumn comes' early. It was snowing in Moscow Tuesday when all America, save, maybe, Fraser, Colo., still awaited Indian Summer. So, if grandpa is going to take the Eisenhower tykes to Moscow in a time of the spring thaw and blooming flowers it could be as late as June when the two chiefs of state next get together. It was Khrushchev’s idea that the grandchildren should be in the Eisenhower party, and that they should see Moscow abloom and ablossom. . A Campaign Issue Very pretty! But June, 1960, is a politically critical month in the United States. Both’ national nominating conventions come up in July. The political word in recent weeks has been that the Democrats are lacking a crackling issue on which to base their 1960 presidential campaign. An Eisenhower - Khrushchev meeting just prior to the nominating conventions could give the Democrats an overriding issue. It seems reasonable to believe that such a meeting surely will provide an effective Democratic campaign issue unless there, is generated in Moscow some concrete, realistic, -reassuring progress toward peace, reduced national defense costs and lesser

taxation. That issue could be decisive. During the month before the conventions, Americans will be reading and hearing of little else than the meeting of their President with the Soviet chief. That will not offend the citizens because they surely must be more interested in peace than in presidents and in parties. Build Up Hopes They will have had from ijght now until the Moscow meeting to build up their hopes for a better world. The political party which can be tagged in the presidential campaign on charges of disappointing those hopes is likely to be defeated on election day. The words uttered here and in Moscow since the end of the Eisenhower - Khrushchev talks at Camp David have been hopeful, confident, optimistic. The citizens are entitled to believe a begin-

ning has been made toward better things. This was true, also, after the 1955 Big Four meeting in Geneva. “It is my judgment,” Eisenhower said then, “that the prospects of a lasting peace with justice are brighter. The dangers of modern war are less.” The Big Four then turned over to their foreign ministers the specific issues to be resolved. Their meeting was an absolute failure and the world since has been on the brink of war. Here Come the Brides NEW YORK (UPD—During the next 10 years there will be more than 25 million new brides in America, reports the Bridal Fashion Council. The prediction is based on birth statistics from 1940 to the present. •
