The Kremlin, he said, is di-1 vided on how to handle that; problem. One side, ied by Khru- shchev, wanted to let the people HOPE for better things. The other side the side that lost out wanted to return to the old iron rule of the Stalin days. SO KHRUSHCHEV wants to "let 'em hope for better things in the future." H-m-m-m-m.

What is he up to? He probably figures that if he can kid the Russian people along with hope that they will be better off tomorrow he can keep 'em under his thumb in definitely. Communist leaders aren't angels. JUMPING from poetry and mythology to crop controls and subsidies, the Eisenhower administration is urging con gress to junk the 20-year-old corn acreage control system. Secre tary Benson wants to drop acre age controls on corn and repeal its mandatory price supports. He says the old support plan has failed to prevent feed grain surpluses, and so he wants to put corn, which is the nation's basic livestock feed grain, on the same basis as other animal feed grains such as oats, barley and grain sorghums, which have no production controls. IET'S take a look at his pro 1 posal from the standpoint of Southern Oregon and Far North ern California. Here, over the years, we have grown little or none of the so called "basic" crops corn, wheat, cotton, rice and peanuts. We have had our own specialty crops, particularly adapted to SAVE MONEY!

Nelson sput tered when he read that. Ac- tually the dancing star of "Ok 1 a h o ma!" is the most sought- after profes- Aline mosdv sor among lo cal tap schools because it's one way to keep his feet in shape since he's turned dramatic actor Both movies and TV produce less musicals than in past years so Gene switched to a dramatic career while working toward Broadway show. Recently his old friend, Nico Charisse (ex-husband of Cyd Charisse), asked Gene to save the day when a teacher quit at the Charisse dance studios. Gene happily turned instructor. Teaching Defended "That item makes it sound as if teaching is something to be shunned," he said indignantly. "It isn't. It's helped me a lot. It gives me an opportunity to try out my ideas and experiment with dance theories, and keeps me in shape. , "I've never taught before. 1 started this just to help Nico but now I want to keep on with it whenever it doesn't interfere with roles. "Sure, I miss musicals. If it hadn't been for producers ac cepting me in dramatic roles, I'd be starving. They don't make many musicals any more. "But every career has its ups and downs I'm not bitter. If you like this business, you're in it for everything it offers, the good and the bad. When you're not working you have to keep your mind in a clear way so you don't become unhappy." Work Outlined Nelson teaches three nights a week at the Charisse studio. Classes tripled when word got around you .could learn dancing from a movie star. His pupils range from beginning starlets to professional dancers plus housewives who want to take off a bulge or two and learn to be graceful. Nelson's last movie musical was "Oklahoma!" and he ap peared last fall in a TV spectac ular with Nanette Fabray that involved more singing than dancing. But Gene has been able to make a successful transition to dramatic roles and has starred in numerous TV dramas. Next month he leaves his classes to star in a dramatic role in a the atrical movie, "The Natchez Trace." Then he travels to New York to sign, he hopes, for a Broadway musical.

Frozen Foods On The Side By E. V. DURUNG (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. IneJ Have you a one - year - old child? Or do any of your friends, relatives or acquaintances posses an infant of that age? What did the child say first "Mama'' or "Papa"? What was the third word spoken by the infant? How many words does the child know now? To be rated intelligent and with a promise of a good future, a one-year-old child should have a vocabulary of about 20 words. The average adult has a vocabu lary of about 6,000 words. Horses and Women Am reliably informed a group of red-haired women is subject ing our Houses and Women De partment pamphlet titled "How to Handle a Red-Haired Wo men" to a very careful examina tion. They are, according to the report, also discussing the man ner of handling suggested by cur experts with a view toward developing a defense for it. Should other groups of flaming tressed females have similar ideas this could prove a serious handicap to many of our sub scribers who are matrimonially allied to red-haired women. I have called a special meeting of our Horses and Women experts to aiscuss it. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Have heard several versions of the pronunciation of the name of the Dutch artist. Van Gogh. What is yours? A. Correct pro nunciation is "Van Gok.' Q. What is the U. S. record for largest rainbow trout caught? Also muskellunge. A. Rainbow Trout "record is 37 pounds. Caught at Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, in 1947. Muskellunge rec ord is 69 1116 pounds caught at Chippewa Flowage, Wis., in 1949. . . Q. Is the title of that old song "Roses Are Bloming in Picardy" or Rose Are Shining in Picardy"? A. The title is "Roses oi Picardy. However, the roses are referred to as "shining" be cause of the dew on them. Style Sense Tailors for men have a better style sense than women who de sign attire for women. The men have a greater talent for effect ive simplicity. In what type of garment do women appear the smartest and most fashionably garbed? It is the so-called "tail ored suit." That extremely popu lar garment was originated for women by a British tailor whose patrons were ' mostly men. He felt sorry for the way so many women appeared in street attire and wanted to do something for them. The tailored suit elimina ted the bustle and paved the way for sports clothes for women. Heredity Florence Quartararo, lyric soprano, has married Italo Tajo basso. What type of voice do you think a male child born of. this union would have? Has there ever been a great opera star whose parents were both opera stars? I can't recall any. Come to think of it, what singing star in any branch of the entertain ment field has had a son or daughter who also became a singing star? Please Note Where are the best sea food restaurants in this country lo cated? I would say in New York City, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco and Seattle in the order named. What is considered the best sea food restaurant in your section? How many varie ties of roe does it feature? "Slop py Louie's" sea food restaurant in the Fulton Fish Market dis trict in Manhattan has featured shad roe, cod roe, sturgeon roe, lemon sole roe mackerel roe, herring roe and yellow pike roe. Those Anniversaries The 50th wedding anniversary is the golden wedding, the 55th the emerald, the 75th the dia mond. That you know. What is your opinion of this arrange ment? I think rt is silly. The time for a woman to be pre sented with gold, emerald and diamonds is when she is young. I intend to conduct my campaign for a revision of the wedding anniversary list with renewed vigor. I have already deciaea on two new anniversaries. The first to be the "What the Young Couple Needs" anniversary and the fifth the "Mink Wedding." On the latter anniversary all the wife's friends will chip in and buy her a mink coat. HOME FREEZER Is That So? Rainmaking is a modern scientific fact although in the past century it was largely a fake. Prior to that it was noth- : ing more than a hope In one way or another, prac tically every primitive tribe which lived in an arid area has tried to make it rain. They em ployed magic, special rain dances, and invoked deities with sacrifices to induce rain. Strictly by coincidence, rain followed these efforts often enough to keep the belief alive that these primitive sacrifices and dances induced rain. In the past century, there was quite a boom in rainmaking point out the authors of Weath er (Simon & Schuster, N. Y.) Drums were were beaten, can nons shot, and explosives set off producing great quantities of smoke. Needless to say, the methods were worthless and so were many of the operators. One of the smoothest of these confidence men and the most "successful" never appeared in a drought area until it was al most certain from studying U.S. weather bureau data that rain was but a few days away. Then he would put on his act, wait for the rain, and collect his fee from a grateful citizenry. In contrast to this fakery, modern rainmaking techniques are based on known facts of how to get the tiny miniscule drop lets of water in clouds to "coal esce" and drop as snow or rain. All of these modern techniques employ the "seeding" technique getting artificial nuclei into potential rain clouds. Such cloud "seeding" cannot be successful however unless conditions are nearly right for natural rainfall. But this is not to minimize the fact that under the right conditions, it can cause more rain to fall than would occur with undisturbed natural conditions. Most seeding is done today with dry. ice (frozen carbon di oxide) and silver iodide. Droplets Crystallize With finely ground dry Ice (which has a temperature of 108 degrees below Zero, F.) cloud droplets crystallize along its path. These grow rapidly at the expense of the water droplets around them and soon become large enough to fall. Silver iodide has a molecular structure nearly identical with that of ice and it acts directly as a nucleus for ice formation. These ice crystals also grow until they fall. Not much material is needed. One pound of dry ice spread by a plane may start a shower in large cumulus clouds. But silver iodide has a decided advantage being less expensive to use. Scientists Develop New Burn Medicine Chicago IP) Scientists say they have made another advance in methods designed to prevent deaths from severe burns. Drs. R. Carl Millican, Sanford M. Rosenthal and John D. Rust told the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biol ogy and Medicine that they have found what may be an effective protection from late deaths of burn victims caused by a type of infection which has been highly resistant to all commonly used antibiotics. The trio said this infection causes many post-burn fatalities, but can be controlled with hu man gamma globulin, a constit uent of blood. The three doctors earlier de veloped the simple oral salt and soda treatment which proved effective for burn shock during clinical trials held this year. The new post-burn treatment now is being scheduled for clinical trials, too.

To date, rainmaking by cloud seeding cannot produce rain from fair - weather cumulus clouds those puffy, cauliflower-like clouds which usually form by day in rising warm air and disappear at night. Nor is it possible as yet for' cloud seeding to induce rain to fall over a widespread area. But then cloud seeding is still in its infancy.
