Cmdr. Lewis H. Seaton, reported on the Enterprise’s “problems” in an article' abstracted in the current Navy Medical News Letter. Tn commenting on the .doctor’s report,. the Navy said that the background radiation levels aboard the Enterprise were similar to increases detected at various times by the Navy’s radiological defense laboratory in San Francisco following atmospheric testing., Seaton said that rainstorms washed fallout from the sky contaminating some external areas of the Enterprise with 10 to 20 times the amount of allowable radiation for the nuclear power plant compartment. The Enterprise was the Newport News, Va., shipyard at the time, the Navy said, adding that no other ships had reported such increases in radiation. Apparently this was because , the Enterprise, being nuclear-powered and • heavily equipped with radiation sources for medical, radar and other purposes, has intensive monitoring. programs.. Conventionally powered ships do not. Seaton said that concerted efforts were necessary to keep the fallout from entering the ship through ventilating systems and on workmen’s feet. Machinery spaces and galleys Were “hardest hit,” he said. The condition went on for about a month. Whenever radiation limits were exceeded, contaminated areas were cleaned up by specially trained personnel. Contamination levels stayed within tolerable limits and “there was no real danger to health.”

Permitting a drink with dinner or allowing a taste of the parent’s drink, can lead to problems. Teen-age drinking brings . many problems — automobile accidents, vandalism, fighting, ■* sexual promiscuity, etc. A child should not drink alcoholic beverages, and there should be no exceptions regardless of social pressures. The parent who permits his child to drink liquor is not setting proper standards, and the child’s “‘associates arte being exposed to unfair pressures. An extension of this problem can be the teen-age party, Liquor should not be served in any form. It is the responsibility of the parents, in whose home thie party is supply proper supervision. There is no harm in a parent making a telephone call to find out what is being planned at a party to which his child has been invited. Some parents hesitate to do this because they feel it may be embarrassing. It should never be embarrassing to show an interest in a child’s welfare. The other parents probably would like to know the same things when the situation is reversed. Teen-agers should have definite rules ’ prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages. Attendance at drinking parties should be avoidedA child who drinks at home could hardly be expected to re-

Mrs. Fred McConnell, 7:30 p.m. Sen. Byrd Elated Al Congress'Cut WASHINGTON (UPI) — For 30 years Harry Flood Byrd, the senior senator from has been wielding the economy ax on Capitol Hill. This year, he feels, it finally paid off. The 76-year-old conservative Democrat views as most significant the action of Congress this year in whittling. down foreign aid spending from the $4.5 billion originally sought by the late President Kennedy to $3 billion. “This is the first time in a long time I have really cut spending,” Byrd said. “The people back home really have been speaking' this time, and they were heard up here, I believe.” Byrd, now in his sixth full term as senator, regards federal budget deficits as akin to sin. As chairman of the powerful tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, he 'Occupies a key position in President Johnson’s plans for early action next year on the priority sll billion tax cut bill. The President has promised that Byrd and his committee will get an advance peek at the budget for the next fiscal year, and has urged the heads of government departments and agencies time and time again to cut spending wherever possible. Johnson. a former Senate Democratic leader, is well aware power, not only in the Senate but in the politics of Byrd’s home state of Virginia. " . . With Byrd withhold active support, Virginia broke- from the Democratic South in the last, three elections and supported the Republicans presidential ""nominees—former President Dwight D. Eisenhower twice and Richard M. Nixon in 1960. Narrow Vases Try using a baby bottle brush for cleaning out those narrownecked flower vasers.

Q: My fifteen-year-old daughter attended a party fit a friend’s home I had checked and found that the parents would be home and intended to act as chaperones. My daughter arrived home visibly upset. It seems that liquor was available and she had been embarrassed several times because she would not take a drink. The chaperones were not only aware of the liquor but actually helped to serve it. I am not sure what to do. Could you make some suggestions? A: My first thought is that your daughter should be complimented on doing what she knew was right regardless of the social pressures. This is especially difficult for teen-agers. The first step is to praise her and give her the support necessary to continue this admirable behavior. Was this an appropriate party for your daughter? How old were the othef members? I suggest that you investigate the circumstances by contacting these parents. A calm discussion may solve your problem. Obviously, continued good judgment on your part in guiding your daughter will help her to meet these kinds of difficult problems which do occur.
