F'oreign news commentary By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst £
Before the Russians and their Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia, political chiefs of NATO kept a log of "friendly” East.West contacts. The log noted 210 major contacts in political, economic, military, scientific and cultural fields between December, 1967, and June, 1968. It was part of a general mood of Euphoria and bridge-building which disappeared in the predawn hours of Aug. 21 when the Russians poured about a quarter of a million troops across Czech borders with a speed and efficiency military men had not thought possible. Defense Appropriation Gone was any thought that at least three days of warning would precede any possible Communist military action against the West. Gone, too, was the relaxed thinking which had permitted a dollar-conscious United States to withdraw 33,000 troops from Europe and its Western allies to consider further reductions of their own. It became a factor in passage by an alarmed U.S. Senate of the largest defense appropriation in American history. NATO foreign ministers took advantage of the United Nations General Assembly meeting to confer early in New York and
to move up by a month their annual meeting originally scheduled for Brussels in December. Land Mines On a single recent day in Brussels, nine separate NATO committees were meeting on topics ranging from nuclear planning to civil defense. As the Russians shifted the balance of military power in Europe, among the NATO planners there was revived talk of stringing nuclear land mines along the border with Warsaw Pact countries. There were other tangible results. The U.S. decided to send back to Europe a tactical squadron of 18 Phantom jets withdrawn in 1966. It will return 12,000 U.S. troops to West Germany for maneuvers next year. Britain broke off withdrawal of her troops from West Germany and announced instead she will strengthen her commitment. A reconnaissance R.A.F. squadron and two frigates scheduled for return to Britain will remain instead in the Mediterranean to keep an eye on a Russian fleet build-up. A Belgian "redeployment” which included the withdrawal of one of its two armored divisions in Germany was canceled and all units now will remain.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey has joined Richard M. Nixon in promising to revive the govern, ment’s small watershed flood prevention program. The program for protection of small rural watersheds, one of the government's most popular conservation projects, currently is stalled by a jurisdictional dispute between the Johnson administration and Congress. Because of the deadlock over how individual watershed projects should be approved for federal financing, no new projects have been given final approval for nearly two years. Construction on older projects is continuing, but unless the pipeline or new projects is reopened, the program will gradually wither away in coming years. Candidates Ask Solution Humphrey, it was learned tolay, has told leaders of the Na;ional Association of Conservadon Districts he gives high priority to reviving the watershed program. The Democratic presidential candidate said in a letter that the next administration should "resolve the jurisdictional question ... as requested by hundreds of individuals and organizations and members of Congress, and start operations on ail watershed project work plans.” Nixon, the Republican presidential candidate, had earlier promised "vigorous expansion
of soil and water conservation programs, including resolution of the constitutional impediment raised by the administration against the successful small watershed program.” The congressional - administration deadlock centers on procedures in use for more than a decade for approving individual watershed projects. How It Works Under the old procedure projects are planned by local sponsoring organizations and the Agriculture Department’s Soil conservation Service. After final SCS review, projects are submitted to the House and Senate agriculture committees or, in some cases to the congresslonal public works com. mittees. If the committees approve, the projects then get federal financing within annual spending limits set by Congress. The White House Budget Bureau, however, decided several years ago that delegation of final approval power to con. gressional committees was unconstitutional. The administration refuses to schedule any further projects for financing until Congress adopts one of several alter native procedures, all of which have so far been rejected by congressional leaders who insist the old system is within the Constitution.

LONDON (UPI)-Mothers who advise their daughters on what to wear would do well to take a lesson from Queen Elizabeth II. # The case in point is Princess Anne, her IS-year-old daughter. Poor Princess Anne had to listen to a long list of royal regulations from her mother and the ladies of the court circle. ", . . Wear off-the-face hats, dear, so the crowds get a good look at you . . . short skirts are unseemly when people see you climbing in and out of cars . . . shoes have got to be sensible, or your feet will hurt . . . haye a big handbag to hold everything . . . fur stoles are the usual thing for the evening.” Result: Princess Anne is accused of wearing matronly clothes, of lacking dress sense, of looking like her mother. Dress Sense But the huge contrast between her matronly clothes and some of her latest outfits shows she does have dress sense when she is allowed to dress thd way she wants to, as a teen-ager who likes mini-skirts and fun accessories. If she does not break clean away from the royal way of dressing, it won’t be for lack of criticism by the press. Their last go-round was on her eighteenth birthday in August. Princess Anne probably felt rather hurt if she read the New York Women’s Wear Daily. It said; "She’s 18 today and nobody thinks she’s a pretty girl ... if I were her mother the first thing I’d do is slim her down . . . she tries to look modern but she doesn’t know how.” Duchess of Windsor The article quoted "a royal observer” as saying she needed six months’ training from the America n-born Duchess of Windsor, her aunt by marriage. The Duchess is 72. To that, one of the Fleet Street women’s editors, Jean Rook of the Daily Sketch, replied: “i personally don’t want Anne to look like the immaculate, superbly tasteful, miraculously preserved, un-changed-as-the-rock-of-ages Duchess of Windsor. For me, they can keep wonderful Wally, whom I'd love to see caught off guard in a high wind.” Ann Ryan of the Daily Express suggested she take a few leads from two royal ladies who are younger and nearer home, Princess Alexandra, 31, and the Duchess of Kent, 35.
The world seems to be getting through to Princess Anne. Since her birthday, she has not been seen much in public because the royal family is taking a long summer vacation at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish highlands. mmm

Shoot for adjournment
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Elec-tion-minded members of the 90th Congress are shooting for adjournment by the end of this week and a chance to return home for some intensive campaigning. With the general election less than a month away, House members—all up for re-election — are anxious to wrap up several pending bills, and hopeful President Johnson would not submit another Supreme Court nomination that would again tie up the Senate. Both Houses were meeting at noon EOT. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said during the weekend that Johnson had not contacted him about possible plans to name a successor to
Chief Justice Earl Warren after withdrawing Abe Fortas’ nomination last Wednesday.
But Mansfield said he believed it would be "very difficult” to win Senate confirmatlon of an alternate choice now, even if the man chosen were a senator. He said any move to win confirmation would face "nothing but obstacles” and bring on a parliamentary battle that would delay adjourn, ment. Should the President submit another nomination for Senate consideration, the House might vote to go home an) way regarding president nominations as strictly Senate business.
