Historic Turning Points Come Early

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Twice within a span of only about three months the world has reached historic turning points whose final results still can only be guessed. In the third week of October, the Red Chinese launched their massive attack against India's border, and in the following week jkj FREED —The UJS. Embassy in Prague has announced the release of YMCA worker Robert Roy Budway, Washington, D.C.. held by Communist Czechoslovakia on spy charges.

President Kennedy forced a showdown with the Soviet Union over Soviet missiles in Cuba. On Jan. 22, President Charles de GauUe and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation which Adenauer declared would end "400 years of quarrels, dispute and warfare" between their two countries. On Jan. 29, De GauUe torpedoed British hopes for entering the European Common Market. The Chinese attack on India served to emphasize the growing rift between Red China and the Soviet Union, adding weight to De Gaulle’s theory that the Soviet Union must eventuaUy turn away from the Chinese and back to the European family of nations. Out of the U.S.-Soviet showdown came Nikita Khrushchev’s new “reasonable” attitude and a lessening in cold war tensions. These developments in turn made it possible for De Gaulle, perhaps sooner than he expected, to move to implement his own grand design for Europe. This Europe would exclude both Britain and the United States and lead ultimately to the junking of NATO, upon which Europe’s defenses have depended. De Gaulle’s move against Britain clearly was political, and in that stroke he put off for years, if he did not actually destroy, the concept of a politically united Europe which had been a foundation stone of Western policy since the end of World War 11. He apparently hopes to

force his European Common Market partners to remain inside the bloc as a trading area. Politically, he coldly reasoned that agreement between France and Germany would force the lesser powers to cooperate whether they liked it or not. So far, events have given DeGaulle no reason to question his own judgment. It remains to be seen whether he may have erred on the question of timing. Most West Germans would agree with Adenauer that the French - German accord is the “crowning point of my career.” But among influential German newspapers, De Gaulle’s clear anti-U.S. bias has aroused deep reservations. Within Adenauer’s own cabinet there is a deep split. West Germany's chief negotiator in the Brussels’ Common Market talks has resigned in protest against De Gaulle’s veto of Britain. Adenauer’s coalition partners, the Free Democrats, are talking of holding back agreement on the French accord until De Gaulle comes to his senses over Britain. The Germans do not want to lose contact, either economically or defensively, with Washington. Final results will depend upon which has the stronger pull— Paris or Washington.

Peace Corps Needs More Agriculturists “I wish I knew mote about agriculture so I could be of more help here,” writes Peace Corps volunteer William Weinhold from Kuala Lumpur, Malaya. ’ Weinhold, whose home is in Kobler, Wis., is a graduate of DeVry Technical Institute in Chicago. He is assisting a BBC expert from England design new studios and stations for Radio Malaya. “Mayala is one of the fastest developing countries in all of Asia, but, says Weinhold, “it needs trained agronomists to conduct a soil survey of the country.” In a letter to Evan Hursch of Sheboygan Falls, Wis., he asks his friend to do what he can to get ‘ag’ people to volunteer for the Peace Corps because of the great need in many countries. ‘“Some countries need people who can operate tractors and get up dairy farms. Some need skilled veterinarians. I believe there are wonderful opportunities for young agriculture graduates in the Peace Corps.” Leo N. Seltenright, county extension agent of Adams county, says the requests for volunteers with farm backgrounds and training in agriculture, forestry and homemaking are increasing with every new Peace Corps project. The demand for college trained volunteers far exceeds the present number of qualified applicants. They are being requested to work in agricultural extension projects, in rural community action projects as teachers in school systems, as instructors in colleges and universities, and, in some cases, as researchers. There are also opportunities for men and women without college

training, provided they have farm experience, vocational agricultural training, or good 4-H backgrounds. Applicants are now being selected for porjects starting training in late spring and summer for Malaya, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Et. Lucia, Guinea and Togo. Many Peace Corps, volunteers like William Weinhold wish they knew more about agriculture so they could make an even greater contribution to their host country. Peace Corps application forms are available from Leo Seltenright, at his office, Federal Building, from Peace Corps, Washington 25, D. C. Attn.: Agricultural Division. Preview Os Spring For Most Os Nation By United Press International An ' Atlantic storm sent high seas crashing against the southeast coast today and Maine shivered in sub-zero temperatures, but most of the nation enjoyed a preview of spring. The mercury at Los Angeles soared to 82 degrees. Thousands of sun-lovers braved cloudy skies to go swimming. Fog shrouded the Great Lakes area and scattered showers fell across Montana, Idaho, Utah and the Pacific Northwest. Gale force winds pounded the North Carolina coast and warnings of high winds and heavy seas were posted from Cape Canaveral to Nags Head, N.C. Tides ran as much as 4 feet above normal. The storm dumped showers across the Southeast. Jacksonville Fla., was soaked with a half inch of rain during the night. Light snow fell across northern New England today as the mercury dropped below zero in Maine. Light winds pushed a cloud cover over the rest of the Northeast and the bone-chilling cold wave began to ease. Rising temperatures across the rest of the nation started breaking up ice-clogged rivers and sent Southern California surfers scampering for the beach. Ohio River ice gorges broke up as far north as Gallipolis, Ohio. Huge cakes of ice carried away several small docks and boats. Officials warned other boat owners to get their craft ashore or into a protected harbor.

The water level of the Ohio may fluctuate as much as 5 feet, authorities said.

Indiana's Share In CARE $2,686,617 NEW YORK — When the 50 millionth CARE package is delivered this month, the people of Indiana will have a $2,686,617 share in the gift. State residents have donated that total during its 17 years of operation, the international aid agency reported today. The milestone gift, a food parcel, will be presented to a needy family in Colombia by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Gelford, of Bayport, Minn., and their children, Judith, 18, and Randall, 14. Appointed “Citizen Ambassadors” because their contribution to CARE provided the package, the Gelfords will fly to South America February 12. The Fibre Box Association is paying expenses of the trip, as a tribute to the generosity of the American people. Included in CARE’s 50 million tally are: 30,465,275 Food Crusade packages (mainly U.S. farm abundance); 17,516,476 food packages of various types; 660,351 textile packages (household linens, blankets, clothing fabrics); 1,357,898 Self-Help packages (health, educational, farm and vocational tools and equipment).

Four Terre Haute Blocks Evacuated TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPD—A four-block evacuation order remained in effect today as workmen searched for a gas leak blamed for an explosion which ripped apart a house here Monday, injuring five persons. An order for evacuation of a six-block area was issued after the blast, but residents of two of the blocks were permitted to return to their homes late Monday night as workers zeroed in on the gas line trouble. The original evacuation order affected between 100 and 125 persons living in 40 homes. Most of them took shelter for the night in the homes of neighbors or friends. Three of the injured were workmen summoned to check a possible gas leak and repair an oil furnace. The blast reportedly was touched off when one of them lighted a piece of paper to see in the darkened basement. Those hospitalized in fair condition were John Stahr la, 33; Charles Watson, 46: James Dowde, 84, and his wife, Illian, 83, and Tommy Patrie, 39.

Common Cold Most Familiar Ailment

(EDITOR’S NOTE—For centuries, the sniffles and shakes of the common cold have been blamed on drafts, wet feet and the like. Scientists seeking to defeat the cold virus now believe none of these may be to Name. The causes of a cold are examined in this, this second of a three-part series on science’s battle against the cold.) By BARNEY SEIBERT United Press International CHICAGO (UPD — Discoveries about what causes the common cold have come so rapidly that even physicians are confused. A medical pamphlet titled “Old King Cold,” published in 1959, advised that the chances of catching colds could be lessened with plenty of rest, avoiding drafts, safeguarding against chills and overheating, protection against wet feet, dressing or undressing in cold rooms, and contact with persons who have colds. Many researchers now believe the best advice contained in that section of the pamphlet is the last —avoiding contact with persons who have colds. Research at the University of Illinois and at Britain's resort-like Harvard Hospital included exposing volunteers to= Drafts, water drenchings in cold air, up to 58 hours of sleeplessness, and hours of exposure to chilling temperatures while clad only in light underclothing. Colds were no more frequent among those who underwent the ordeals than among test groups which did not. Dr. Justin M. Andrews, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said: “Unless you are at the same time exposed to a person who has a cold, I don’t think that just chilling your feet or anything of that sort is going to start a cold. It is commonly believed that you are more susceptible to colds if you get your feet wet. Yet, when you put this to a test, it is shown not to be the case.” Caused by Virus Since those unpleasant but otherwise harmless ordeals by volunteers in Salisbury, England, and Chicago, researchers have found that colds are caused by any of some 120 or more virus strains and the so-called “Eaton Agent,” a micro-organism which is neither virus nor germ. Although a multitude of virus strains may cause the comlnon cold, most are caused by a dace* or so varieties. Among children—lo,ooo of whom

die annually from respiratory infections which often begin as colds —the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus is responsible for about 20 per cent of common colds and other respiratory illness. The common cold has been found to die out in closed communities such as Norway’s Island of Spirtzbergen, or the recently evacuated volcanic island of Tristan da Cunha. But colds recur when the community is visited by . a ship—even though those aboard may not have colds. This suggest- . ed to the British researchers that some persons are "cold carriers.” The British also found a relal tionship between lowering of hu- , midity in homes and the onset of ■ colds. More In Winter [ Since chills, wet feet and ext posure to drafts probably are not , factors in contracting colds, why [ are there more colds in winter? Dr. Harry Dowling of the Uni- , versity of Illinois theorized that it j may be because people crowd tot gether in closed rooms when the . weather’s cold. : A drop in the incidence of colds f during the Christmas holidays, , when children are out of school, and a rise in the incidence when classes resume appears to support 1 this theory. . Andrews said, “The greatest rea- , son is that more people stay in--1 doors with windows closed and this creates the opportunity for t greater spread of infection.” a 1 j (Next—What can you do about a cold.) r New York Stock 3 Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES t A.
