Jfe for Senor Machado, my conclusion was just the contrary in wch re spect." , Criticism Osiitiett o Porter id reports that some or the pr is cem-munist-controlled seemed ver ified by the fact that his TV speech about the danger of communism was reported in one newspaper without "a line of my criticism of communism." In his House speech, Port-j r suefiested that the u.5. i could be most helpful to Vene zuela in this critical post revolutionary period by mak ing clear "the opposition to tyrannies and love for de mocracies felt by its citizens" and by promoting more ex changes of students, leaders, artists and ideas. He also urged "a reduction of arma ments among Latin American nations" and "an inter- par liamentary conference of the o countries of the western hem isphere learn more about translating the will of the people into law." Although Porter's visit got nooe of the fanfare attached to that of Nixon, it received favorable notice from two eastern newspapers which co'ver the Latin American scene more completely than most, the New York Times and Christian Science Moni tor. The Times entitled its editorial "t h e ambassador from Oregon" and said: "There is an obvious les son to be drawn from the dif ferent receptions given by Venezuelans in Caracas to Vice President Nixon in May and to Rep. Porter . . . The reason could not be more simple and Vice President Nixon himself put his finger upon it immediately when he suffered his ordeal. The Vene zuelans had nothing against him, as he realized; they were reacting to 10 years of exces sive American friendliness to the hated and brutal dictator ship of Gen. Perez Jimenez. Enemy of Dictators "Congressman Porter has gained fame as an enemy of dictators and for that he is being honored. He is unique in the House of Representatives for having a special interest in Latin American affairs. There -are a few senators, like Wayne Morse, also of Oregon, and George Smathers, of Florida, who have any know ledge and concern in hemis pheric affairs, but they 'are few, indeed. "Porter's dislike for the tyrannies in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and previous ly in Venezuela and Colombia, is genuine. His recent criti cism of the Ernst report on the Galindez-Murphy case was a notable piece of in vestigation. No doubt his own career as a congressman is being helped by what he is doing in the Latin American field, but his sincerity cannot be questioned and there is no doubt that he is serving the best interests of the United States."

Art Said Valuable Psychiatric Help Chicago (UPI) Art has become a valuable psychiatric help in several Illinois Veter ans Administration hospitals. Hospitals at Downey, Dan ville, and Hines say they have found painting an aid in treat ment of mental patients. Doc tors feel a few hours with the paint brush gives patients a means of self-expression, with consequent release from built up tensions., . The finished work is studied not only from an artistic point of view, but also in the search for what is going on in the patient's mind. About ,100 patients have benefited from the art clinics. The studios resemble easy-going, pleasant hobby rooms where the patient can relax and draw or paint when he wishes. The patients are al lowed to choose their own subjects, styles of painting, and colors. Instructors are on hand to help and encourage them. WATER SHORTAGE Springfield, S.D. (UPI) Southern State Teachers col lege has a laundry problem.
