The Lighter Side
By DIC K WEST
WASHINGTON UPI — The Pacific Stars and Stripes, a swinging newspaper published tor the U.S. armed forces in the Far East, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week. By coincidence, it also was 20 years ago this week that I was mustered out of the armed forces as probably the highest ranking technician—fifth grade (T-5) in the U.S. Army. I suppose that many of the present readers of Stars and Stripes never even heard of that rank. The Army, in a typical humane gesture, dropped it sometime after World War II. * I'm not sure why the rating isn't used any more, but I like fo think the Army retired it in my honor. Anyone who remainad a T-5 for three years certainly deserves some kind of
recognition. We T-5's ranked somewhere between a PFC and a Corporal. That may sound impossible, but | it’s true. It may have been my distinguished military career that prompted the editors of Pacific S&S to invite me to contribute I something to their special anniversary edition. Unfortunately, the request arrived while I was on vaca- ; lion and I did not return in time to meet the deadline. However, I would like to offer congratulations and to say that, apart from the disappearance of T-5’s, the armed forces apparently haven’t changed very much in the past 20 years.

VIET NAM CONFERENCE TALK HAS FALLEN OFF
BELIEF NOW MOUNTING THAT TIME FAVORS US
.. ... ,
Th* Capitol Winds have akifted again,
By HENRY CATHCART
Central Press Washington Writer TCTASHTNGTON—There has been a noticeable dropping oflf in W U. S. government statements on the desirability of settling the Vietnamese fighting at the conference table rather
than on the battlefield.
The year opened with President Johnson and his foreign policy •ides declaring that a conference would be poorly timed because
the opposition would take the position that we were negotiating from weakness. Beginning s few months ago, after our military build-up in South Viet Nam was beginning, the tone of official utterances shifted about 180 degrees and for a time there seemed hardly a day when someone in a high government position wasn’t calling for a meeting at the peace con-
ference table.
Now, the winds have shifted again. The United States does not appear as anxious for
fHEgflEMg immediate negotiations, at least as far as its
public utterances are concerned.
To some degree, the change is one of strategy rather than purpose. But of more significance, it is dictated at least partly from the fact that the U. S. outlook in Viet Nam is improving. Furthermore, the prospects are
for more improvement, or, to put it simply, there is a growing
belief that time is on our side.
Some government officials in charge of U. S. policy in Viet Nam are convinced that Communist forces there are finding it taereasingly difficult to prosecute the war. Thus, their position is changing from one of strength to one of weakness at the con-
ference table.
And the situation gradually is shifting around to be just about the opposite of what it was at the beginning of this year. There are some glimmerings that the Communists might want to negotiate; we’re talking about a war of several more years’
duration. * • * •
• PROMOTION—WASHINGTON STYLE—Eugene P. Foley did such an outstanding job as head of the Small Business Administration that President Johnson recently “promoted’* him to be assistant secretary of Commerce and director of Economic Affairs. In his new job, he’ll be handling the distribution of billions of dollars to depressed areas. At Small Business, Foley was paid $28,500 a year and had an official car and chauffeur. In his new post, he'll receive $27,000 annually. And he is not entitled to a car or chauffeur. It is a governmental paradox, but there are situations in which promotions can mean reductions in real pay and benefits. This fact is cme which prevents the government from always being able to place outstanding career people in the most productive
positions. • • * *
• SUGGESTION BOX—Some of the career military men in the Pentagon don't always see eye to eye with Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and the group of civilians he's gathered around him. So it was that, when McNamara announced his intention to substitute civilians for GIs in order to free them to light in Viet Nam, one of the high-ranking officers commented: “Let’s send them to Viet Nam, and then they can communicate directly with the Pentagon civilians in running the war.’*

rejected the pleas of 25 others. i One of those denied was Cup Blakemore, convicted in Lake | County in 1945 for killing a woman shopper in a grocery. Evidence was that Blakemore became angered because the grocery owner would not refund 10 cents he had paid for some peaches which he claimed were rotting. He returned to the store and began shooting wildly, hitting the shopper. Blakemore's request for freedom was denied by the governor and the board, as were those of five other men serving life terms in the Indiana State Prison.

ing or cornea of the eye, the ear canal and the esophagus just as readily as they occur in the stomach or duodenum. When an ulcer forms a deep ' crater, the un- ^ ’ derlying tissue becomes exI posed, inflamed j ! and susceptible to infection. Ulcers of the legs and feet deserve even i more attention Dr. Coleman than most other types, and, strangely, seem to be more frequently neglected. These troublesome ulcers of the legs can be caused by a wide variety of conditions. Arteriosclerosis and varicose veins impair the circulation of blood through the extremities. Any injury to legs with inadequate circulation may result in a wound that does not heal readily, and may develop into an ulcer. Can Prolong Healing Phlebitis, or inflammation of the veins of the legs, can, when neglected, prolong the time of healing of an ulceration of the
leg.
Some neurological conditions, diabetes and Buerger’s disease may affect the blood supply to the legs and delay the healing of leg ulcers. Interference with the blood supply is more frequent in the elderly. It is to them that a few simple rules are directed—rules which can save them untold weeks of incapacitation and discomfort. The complications of neglected ulcers of the legs can be avoided if the rules of precaution are followed. Rules For Elderly 1) Any ulcer or break in the skin-that does not heal within a few days should be examined and treated by a physician. 2) Ointments, salves and powerful antiseptic solutions can sometimes do more harm than good, if used without the specific direction of a doctor.

nated.
A regime of bed rest, antibiotics and local treatment cannot be haphazardly chosen. It must be carefully planned by a physician who evaluates all the factors that produce and prolong these ulcerations. 4) The feet must be kept scrupulously clean by bathing them frequently with soap and water. They should then be thoroughly dried and powdered to prevent friction and further irritation. Tight Garters Taboo 5) Tight garters should not be worn so that circulation will not be further impaired. The feet should be kept warm, in well-fitted shoes. Socks should be soft and should be changed frequently. 6) Under no circumstances should calluses or corns be cut, except by a physician or a licensed podiatrist. Even the toenails should be cut carefully and properly by a doctor or podiatrist to safeguard the delicate tissues of the feet. 7) Keep the feet and legs well lubricated with lanolin. Gentle massage increases the circulation and benefits the leg. * * * SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH — Glaucoma can be controlled and sight preserved with early detection and treatment.
