Soviet Union, Red China Exchange Bitter Charges

MOSCOW UPI — The Soviet Union and Communist China ex--o. changed bitter accusations Monday, putting the United States in the middle of their ideological squabble. Kremlin leader Leonid Brezhnev said Red China’s refusal to „ cooperate with other Communist nations could be a "decisive • o factor” in the future of Red aid -Z to North Viet Nam. Communist China sent Mos- — cow an angry note accusing the Soviet Union of mud-slinging, ‘ perfidy and collusion with the i United States. I Brezhnev said Peking has re- *’ "jected new Communist bloc 1 pleas for cooperation against ! America’s “criminal aggression in Viet Nam. The latest Peking charges ! came in a Chinese foreign min- ) is try note categorically reject- < ing Russia’s “absurd protest” last week that Chinese officials

had organized a mass antiSoviet demonstration near the Soviet Embassy in Peking. The Chinese note, carried by the Communist New China News Agency, said that "while acting in collusion with U.S. imperialism in a big way . . . the Soviet leading clique has whipped up a fresh anti-China wave, intensified its efforts to worsen Sino-Soviet relations and

unreasonably expelled all the j Communist powers,

Chinese students in the Soviet

Union.”

Peking charged the Kremlin leaders of collaborating with the United States, India and Japan “in opposing China and organizing a ring of encirclement against China.” Peking further accused the Soviet Union of “perfidiously and arbitrarily” tearing up agreements between the super

Corn Harvest « ; Lags in State LAFAYETTE, UP* — The ! com harvest in Indiana was still far behind schedule last ' week, the weekly Purdue Uni- . versity crop report indicated | t Monday, but most of the har- ; vest of other cfops was nearing • ^conclusion. i [ Agricultural stalistican Robj ert E. Straszheim said in the ‘ ■ report that even though conditions were excellent for com ' 'harvest last week, only about * H25 per cent of the crop had . .been picked by the weekend.

J ^ This was well behind the 5- ■ ^year average of 45 per cent. He . Jaid last year at this time, the ^harvest was 30 per cent comJ plete, and in 1964 it was 76 per * eent complete. ! "Less than 10 per cent of the ‘ soybeans remained for harvest * as the week ended,” Straszheim < said. 'This is behind the aver- ! age of 5 per cent remaining for | harvest but is well ahead of the * 25 per cent remaining for com- . bining last year. Harvest Is r . somewhat more advanced in I northern counties than in the * south." He said seeding of winter | wheat was considered about ; average with 90 per cent of the . work completed. A year ago ‘ lonly 80 per cent of the crop * had been seeded. Approximately <5 per cent of the wheat was up ^ .to stands, compared with 55 per ; cent a year ago and the aver- | -age of 70 per cent. ! « The apple harvest was 85 per ‘ pent complete, compared with ■ the average of 90 per cent. ! I “Slight declines were record- ‘ jpd in both subsoil and topsoil ■ moisture, he said,, “with in- ■ creasing deficiencies noted in the northern half of the state. However, topsoil moisture retained the previous rating of . adequate and subsoil moisture ; Continued to short to adequate ' rating.”

Vivid Comment * BROWNSVILLE. Tex. UPI— Frank S. Taylor has obtained a temporary injunction to force Roy Bergman to remove the big yellow lemon he painted on the side of his home. Taylor who isuilt the house contends Bergpian painted the lemon on his home “to give prospective purchasers of other homes in the subdivision the idea that homes there are not built in a good, workmanlike manner.”

(By LYLE WILSON) By United Press International President Johnson returns from his peace mission to Asia with the clear and unmistakable word that the Viet Nam war will continue to grow. This nasty little engagement will become bigger before it goes away. The fact which identified this peace mission with increasing war was word from Gen. William C. Westmoreland that he needed more troops and the President’s assurance that they would be provided. Westmoreland commands in Viet Nam. The Manila Conference statement of basic policy conceded that the war must continue and that its size, intensity and duration depended wholly on Hanoi. Hanoi seems not to budge from waging hotter and bigger war. The Manila Conference declaration is at least a vibrant statement of man’s nobler aspirations. But Americans should examine well some of the U.S. commitments to social, industrial and governmental revolution in Viet Nam. If these commitments are met, Americans will find themselves overcommitted. This is as foolish and hazardous for a great nation as it would be for you or your next door neighbor. President Johnson has promised too much. Some or all of our Far Eastern friends are likely to be disappointed. LBJ personifies and reacts instinctively to a basic American emotion. That emotion is to pet, warm and cuddle the sick puppy, the sick child, the sick ghetto, the sick nation. You name it. The American people will try to comfort it. None is sicker than Viet Nam after two decades of war. So it was that the President acted in a special way in behalf of the American people when he signed on for another war to continue for generations after the hot war in Viet Nam ends. In the words of the Manila Declaration, this new war for which LBJ has drafted the American people consists of the following: To conquer hunger, illiteracy and disease. To build in Viet Nam a region of security, order and progress. Try to estimate for yourself the cost to the United States Treasury when the American people begin to pay for the emotional ecstasy of petting, cuddling and warming this particular sick puppy. President Johnson knows as well as does any other informed citizen that the fiscal foundation of the United States is insecure at home and abroad. To spend far beyond government income at home. This is largely welfare state spending intended to pet, cuddle and warm sick pets. President Johnson knows as well as does any other informed

citizen that the fiscal foundation of the United States is insecure at home and abroad. The left-wing activists who dominate the Democratic party compel LBJ to spend far beyond government income at home. This is largely welfare state spending intended to pet, cuddle and warm sick puppies at home. The U.S. government’s role of international cop and the American compulsion to comfort all sick puppies, wherever they may be, combine to obtain a vast overspending abroad. The symptom of this foreign phase of the U.S. fiscal disease is the unfavorable balance of American foreign trade. We are spending more dollars, buying more goods and trying to buy more peace and good will abroad, than foreign nations buy of what we have to sell. Thus, the trade balance Is against the United States. Foreign nations accumulate their dollars of profit and purchase with them tons of our gold. The United States has been on notice from its leaders that this gold drain must be ended, the unfavorable trade balance corrected. Nearly $10 billion in gold has been siphoned away in the past 10 years. Above $13.2 billion remains. Outstanding foreign dollar claims against U.S. gold are about twice the value of the gold available to pay them. In that direction lies fiscal, financial anarchy. LBJ’s new war to conquer hunger, illiteracy, disease would increase the outflow of dollars and of gold. The United States cannot afford it.

PROFITABLE CHAT DALLAS UPI—While on his way to Houston to look for a job, James W. Keary stopped in Dallas to visit friends. He struck up a conversation with a vice president of the Republic National Bank during a downtown trip. As a result of the chat, he was hired by the bank. Today, more than 17 years later, he is the bank’s president and the man who hired him, James W. Aston, is board chairman and chief executive officer.

Stamp Program Increases Sales A significant side effect o' the Food Stamp Program has been a welcome increase in retail food store sales, according to survey findings of the research agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Retail food sales increase about 8 per cent after the start of the program in pilot test areas. Small stores fare well in attracting food stamp shoppers. The survey showed that food coupons business represented 12 per cent of small-store total sales, compared to 5 per cent for larger units. The success of the Food Stamp Program, in making it possible for low-income families to share more adequately in America’s farm abundance, in stimulating local business and in enlarging farmers’ markets, has resulted in the program’s expansion to many additional areas. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Consume 7- and Marketing Service in cooperation with State Welfare agencies, food retailers and Wholesalers and the commercial banking system.

By ROBERTA ROESCH Make it your business in business to have both a heart and a head. That this is important in any job, as well as at any level, is clear from the following story about a woman in banking. “I started my working life as a clerk-stenographer,” she said, “but every time I looked up from my typing and saw executives at private desks I knew that my own vocational goal was a chair behind one of those desks. Gradual Advancement “I started to work very hard taking banking courses and began to gain varied experience in duties that would help me advance. Bit by bit my efforts led me to a spot where I spent most of my working day helping open new accounts.” This woman in banking liked this chance to give people a helping hand. But as she dealt with the public with her factfilled head and friendly heart, she had no idea that her kindness would be the deciding quality that would take her to an executive desk. This happened, however, one afternoon when a girl, who seemed a little distressed, came to her window and asked for help in opening an account. Helped Her As Usual “Naturally I talked to her and helped her in the same way I work with everyone,” this woman said, “When her account was opened and she was ready to leave, I thanked her for bringing us her business. She looked at me rather strangely when I said this, as she turned to leave my window. “And then,” this woman said, “she walked all the way to the outside door, where she stopped and stood still. Then, after standing by the exit, for what seemed like five minutes, she resolutely turned around and took the long walk back to my window.” ‘T want to thank you,” she said, “for making me feel important. You are the only person I have ever met who bothered to do that.”

The Bank Official Overheard Customer Thank The Employe as the young girl expressed her appreciation to the woman behind the window, a senior vice-president happened to overhear this remark. Coincidentally, he was getting ready to fill a junior executive opening and promote somebody within the bank to the private desk that went with it. Given Opportunity He hadn’t considered a woman up to that afternoon. But after this incident, he looked at this employe’s record, observed her ror the next six weeks and ultimately gave her the opportunity to move to a junior executive’s desk. The opportunity that you want most may not be a similar one. But whatever it is, you are more apt to reach it and achieve your personal goal if you make it your business in business to have both a heart and a head.

Importance of Your Jeweler The day you buy your diamond or special jewelry piece is thrillpacked. But if you are like most laymen, how do you know what to get, or what you are getting? Few things are as misunderstood to purchasers as precious gems. Diamonds, especially, require the consideration of four factors in determining quality and value. Jewelers refer to these points as the "Four C’s”— Cutting, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight. Therefore, your first step must be to a reliable jeweler. Here, too, you will find a much broader selection than elsewhere. In our store, there is no rush about buying. We take the time to fully and accurately explain the nuances of the gem you select. Also, It Is possible for us to obtain exactly what you are looking for if we do not have it in stock at the moment. This is especially true of large or unusual pieces which are customarily sent on order to jewelers requesting a specific item. It is virtually impossible today for a jeweler of any size to carry every gem or jewelry design that may be wanted. Through our gemological training, you will find us to be an invaluable consultant in your purchase. For example, we know why diamonds or certain colored gems look better in one type of setting than another. We consider not only style— what is fashionable—but what is best for you, for your personality, and your shape ef hand. Added to this is the prestige of having purchased in a fine, respected establishment, as attested by our membership in The American Gem Society.
