Quitting Smoking Is - Racking Experience By DICK WEST , tMted Preea International WASHINGTON (UPD — Persons who have tried to quit smoking will tell you that it is a racking experience. And it is. No doubt about it. I went through the ordeal myself about two years ago and I know. But I can tell you that there is another type of torment that is far worse. It is the one I am going through now. Believe thee me, fellow martyrs, >what you go through when you quit smoking is nothing compared with what you go through when your wife quits smoking. The first inkling of what was in store came the other evening when I arrived home from the office, hung up my coat and, as usual, went in search of something with which to mitigate the cares of the day. I was stopped in mid-third by a voice, somewhat hysterical in quality, that announced: “You aren’t having cocktails tonight” “Pm not?” “No.” “Why am I not having cocktails?” “Because I started trying to quit smoking today.” "What has that got to do with my having a cocktail?* “Well, if you have one, it will make me want one, and if I have one, it will make me want a cigarette more than I do already and I might not be able to resist” “I see,” I said. "What you seem to be saying is that all it takes for you to quit smoking is for me to go on the wagon.” • “Please don’t quibble,” she said. “I’m nervous enough as it is.” After a rathe- grim, drythroated dinner, I suggested that she serve the coffee. “I didn’t make any.” “You didn’t?” "No. Coffee increases my de-' sire to smoke. I don’t dare even smell it” “Okay, what’s for dessert?” “We aren’t having any.” "We aren’t?” “No. If I’m not going to smoke I’ve go to start watching my weight more carefully or I'D get fat.” "This is great,” I said. • "You have only been off cigarettes for eight hours and it has already broken three of my habits. Is there anything else I have to give up?” I never should have asked. 0 0 I Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee I 0 ———o J.

You’ll usually find that not a trace of ink will remain, no matter how old the spot is. ■ Sardine Can Key If the key for opening sardine cans and other similar containers is not at hand, make one from a large nail. Bend the nail at right angles in the center, cut off the point, and slot the end for grabbing the tin tag on the edge of the can. You can perform the operation qn the nail easily with a fine hacksaw blade while the nail is gripped in a vise. Curtain Stretching If you want to stretch a newly washed curtain, and you have no curtain stretcher, pin a large clean bedsheet to the livingroom rug before retiring at night, and pin the curtain — stretched as you want it — to the rug.

Reuther lashes Union Boycott On Wheat Deal MIAMI BEACH (UPD—A union boycott that has halted loading of American wheat for Russia drew sharp criticism Monday from United Auto Workers President Walter' P. Reuther. Maritime labor leaders, cheered by backing from AFLCIO President George Meany, Jobless Pay Claims Report Is Issued A total of 14 new claims and 77 continued claims, for unemployment compensation for a total of 91 was reported for Adams couhty for the week ending Feb. 15, Richard P. App, manager of the Fort Wayne office of the Indiana employment security division, said today. Adams county has been running at about 2% unemployed, according to indications from the unemployment claims. This is well below the Fort Wayne average which in turn is below the Indiana and United States average. The county unemployment situation has been gradually improving for three years, according to a tally of the weekly reports. Red Terrorism In Viet Nam Spreads Fear SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPD—A campaign of Communist terrorism was said to be causing widespread fear and apprehension today among the 1,800 American dependents here but U.S. officials said they do not plan td ship (he dependents home. Informed sources said 20 American civilian government employes have asked that their families be removed from South Viet Nam following terrorist incidents Sunday and Monday that left three Americans dead and 49 injured including women and children. A U.S. Embassy spokesman indicated permission probably would be granted to dependents who want to leave but they will have to pay their own way. Stringent security measures were taken wherever Americans congregate in the city. Barbed wire barricades — manned by U.S. and Vietnamese guards with carbines and submachine guns—-were thrown around the American school, bowling alley, embassy, hospital and military billets. Joint American - Vietnamese military patrols circled through the city in jeeps and trucks. Vietnamese and American observers said that any mass departure of U. S. dependents would be a blow to American prestige in the war against the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. The latest terrorist attack occurred Monday when a grenade was hurled at the car of a. U.S. Army officer. The grenade bounced off the car’s windshield and exploded nearby and the officer received only minor scratches. On Sunday, a terrorist tossed a bomb into a crowded American movie theater after he or an accomplice killed a U. S. military policeman on guard outside. The bomb killed two Americans in the theater and injured 49 others. The incident brought to 183 the number of Americans who have died in South Viet Nam since Jan. 1, 1961, according to figures released by the U. S. Defense Department.

stuck to their demands for shipment of at least half the grain in U.S. ships before canceling the boycott. Assistant Labor Secretary James J. Reynolds worked into the early hours this morning trying to settle the dispute over the government's role in enforcing the use of American vessels. The outlook for an early agreement was not considered bright Meany and the AFL-CIO

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Maritime Trade Department said the Johnson administration had failed to carry out a pledge that 50 per cent of the wheat shipments would be made in U.S. ships employing American seamen. Hampers Duties Reuther, who spoke against the boycott Monday at the opening session of the AFL-CIO Executive Council midwinter meeting, said he believed it hampered the President and

the State Department in their foreign policy duties. “I support union action to enforce legitimate economic demands, but this is not that kind of action,” he told newsmen. Meany reported, on the boycott, conducted by ILA locals in Atlantic and Gulf ports to the 2»-member executive council. He told a news conference Monday after the meeting that he favored “any effort” by the maritime union to secure the

use of American ships for 50 per cent of the wheat sent to Russia. a [ Differing with the Maritime Department, Meany said that he approved the sale of surplus • grain to the Soviets “to show i the work! another five year i plan has failed.” He also said he would try to help find a set- » tlement of the dispute at the specific request of President ► Johnson- - Take No Action

The council, which continues its midwinter meeting in an ocean front hotel here, took no action on the boycott. Steelworker’s union President David J. McDonald said he waa “deeply disturbed” because the European Common Market has raised tariffs on imports of American made . steel. “This action is totally and completely protectionist.” McDonald said in a statement. He said the increase has led

the steelworkers to reappraise their outlook on world trade and consider seriously whether it should support similar restrictions by the country on nations belonging to the common market. McDonald also reaffirmed his belief that the United States should not consider any tariff concessions on steel products entering this country from the Common Market because of its resent action.
