In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Senator Humphrey of Min nesota is much in the news these days. So let's quote him again. Returning from a trip to Moscow, in the course of which he spent eight hours talking to Khrushchev, sizing him up, trying to determine whether he means business or is bluffing, the senator from Minnesota, who is also a mem ber of the important senate foreign relations committee, says he thinks the Berlin sit uation is "fraught with dan ger." s- Let's take another look at this Berlin business. Here is it is in a nutshell: 1. Russia has said that on June 1 she will turn the East ern sector of Berlin over to the East German communists who, presumably would pro ceed to take over West Ber lin, which is now occupied by U.S. British and French forces. The Kremlin added that it might make the turn over BEFORE June 1 unless the West COMES TO TREMS. 2 Russia warns that if the Allies (the Americans, the British and the French) try to force their way through Ger man communist territory to red-encircled West Berlin it will be considered by the So viet Union and the satellites allied with her under the War saw pact as an ACT OF WAR 3. U.S officials say the Western powers are iirmly agreed on the necessity to REJECT IN BLUNT TERMS Russia's demand that the Western Big Three pull their troops out of West Berlin fjpHE BIG question: Is the irresistible force about to meet the immovable body? TJERE'S THE jrobable answer: If Russia is readv for war. there will be war. If Russia isn't ready, there won't be war. Whenever Russia is ready for World War III, there will be war. Regardless of what we do - snort, ot course, of absolute surrender on our part If an excuse is needed, Russia will provide the excuse. W HAT to do? Well, we can RUN from Berlin. But I don't think Americans are willing to run from West Berlin If we run, our name will be mud throughout the world. Nobody will any longer have any faith in us No AMERICAN is ready to stand for that. So- There remains this: We must STAY SO STRONG that Russia won't dare to tackle us. That's about the size of it.

The. clerk admitted, "I don't be lieve our paper knows there is a Democratic candidate. Why don't you call Demo cratic headquarters?" There was a brief pause, and then the girl admitted sheepishly, "This is Democratic head quarters." The day before Thanksgiv ing, one turkey strutted up to another and said, "When our blasted owner's looking the other way, let's make a break for freedom." "Count me out," answered the first gobbler. "On a day like this, you don't catch me sticking my neck out" The crooner whose last four records had sold over a million looked out at "his swimming pool one morning, and rang for his butler. "Jeeves," he yawned, "the pool needs restocking. Order a couple of dozen blondes." C 1958, by Bennett Cerf.

Finnegan said today "the pic ture is not a bright one" for quick settlement of the strike of newspaper deliverers which has halted publication of New York City's nine major daily newspapers. Mayor Robert x . Wagner of fered his help to the mediator today but said he would stay out of the negotiation picture until he was called on - "I don't want to rock the boat." In Constant Touch Finnegan said he would keep in constant touch with the mayor and "if the time comes when the mayor can help, I intend to : take him up on his generous offer." Finnegan, director of the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service, came here from Washington Sunday to join regional mediators in at tempts . to settle the strike, which began last Tuesday. He breakfasted with Wag ner before a meeting with negotiators for the striking Newspaper and Mail Deliver ers Union. He was to meet with the publishers later be fore calling a joint meeting. Speculation Refused Finnegan told newsmen after the breakfast meeting that it would be "premature" to speculate on when the strike might be settled. "Severe losses have been sustained by the publishers and they seemed to take a pretty stiff attitude yester day," he said.

John E. Streltzer, president of the Na tional Mental Health Center, said its patients are persons too sick to be at home but not sick enough to be placed be hind locked doors. "In severity of illness these patients are on the borderline between those who are easily able to function in spite of their problems and those who have lost the ability to deal adequately w i th everyday problems," Streltzer said. He said it was frequently found that these patients would have little hope of get ting well if they were to con tinue living without medical aid. The National Mental Health Center, Streltzer said, tries to help the patients understand themselves better so they can more satisfac torily cope with their difficulties.
