t Drummond (Walter Lippman ii again traveling in Europe. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington in his absence.) ITALY DOES IT Washington If they had the opportunity, the Ameri can people, I think, would like nothing better than to stand up and salute a courageous, riskful, and determined ally. Despite warnings from the Kremlin, despite threatened reprisals from the Commu nists at home, the govern ment and the people of Italy have taken a momentous decision. With all 15 Foreign Minis ters gathered in Washington to observe NATO's 10th anni versary, this couldn't come at a better time under better cir cumstances from a better ally. Italy's decision is to station NATO's most powerful deter rent and defensive weapon the intermediate range missile with atomic warhead on Italian soil. IT was 18 months ago at the meeting in Paris, attended by President Eisenhower, that the NATO council gin gerly accepted in principle the 3 U. S. offer that NATO be equipped with IRBMs. The council left it up to each country to decline or accept them. The mood was timid and the tactic was to delay doing anything in the wistful hope that somehow the over-hanging Soviet threat could be v magically negotiated away. Britain, alone accepted Ameri can missiles. And now Italy. It is a bold decision diplomatically be cause it makes Rome the fo cal target of Moscow's rough est tactics. It is a bold decision politi- cally because it puts into the hstnds of the Italian Commu nist party a tool with which to try to whip up public opin ion against the new Center Right, government of Premier Antonio Signi whose support in the Italian Parliament re mains to he sharply tested. BUT Premier Signi, strongly backed by Foreign Minis ter Giuseppe Pella, who is now in Washington, has deci sively and irrevocably cast his lot with the fullest possible commitment to collective se curity. He has done so not to please the United States but in the deep conviction that he is serving Italy's national in terests and that NATO must not only demonstrate the w?U but utilize the most modern Drivers Licenses Suspended by State Salem-The department of motor vehicles has released j names of 383 drivers whose licenses were ordered sus pended during the period be ginning March 23, and ending . March 27. : Length of suspension varies, depending on charges in volved, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department or require ments of Oregon law. The de partment said some of the licenses involving court recommendations may have been reinstated after suspen sion was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days and up to six months, and there may be imposed a fine up to $500. Under licen sing procedures, this will also result in an additional year of suspension.

This is the view he took when he was Defense Minister under the Fanfani government and this is the view he is taking now that he is himself Prime Min ister. It seems to me a magnifi cently brave decision and a right one. Unless you believe that NATO should be weak, unless you believe the Khrushchev doctrine that it is all right for the Soviet Union to possess missiles but all wrong for Western Europe to possess missiles, this is a good gift Italy is making to NATO on its tenth anniversary. rpHE Communists, whether - Italian or French or American or S o v i e t they speak the same voice will try to persuade the world that the United States is just put ting the Soviet Union on edge by providing NATO with mis siles. But let us not forget these facts: . NATO came into being in a long-delayed, desperate act of self-defense after the Red Army made Soviet satellites out of every Eastern European I nation, plus East Germany. ; A fter what happened in Hun gary, there is no reason to be lieve that the Soviets are going home. There are more people in the free nations of - Western Europe than there are in the Soviet Union. Should these nations deny themselves the means . of modern defense while the Soviets alone pos sess them? Does anyone really believe that France or Italy or Ger many, singly or together, are going to attack Russia- when the consequence is mutual de struction? And if the U. S didn't start a preventive war when it possessed atomic mo nopoly a n d, therefore, im munity it will not be so in sane as to do so now? Mr. K advises that it would be best for Western Europe to unarm itself as rapidly as possible. I doubt that he is looking after the welfare of the West. Italy is showing itself an in creasingly steadfast, strong, and unintimidated ally. It seems to me that if the So viets want to add to their rep resentation at the pre-summit meeting of the Foreign Minis ters the Big Three couldn't do better than to ask Italy to sit at 'their side, (c) 1959 Nw York Herald Tribune Inc.

They let Ralph get away with everything. Mrs. J. F. She provokes him. ' Rita F. I am a 15-year-old girl whose main problem is her kid brother. Ralph is 8 and he is so spoiled it is ter rible. My parents are ruining him. The worst thing about him is the way he bothers m e when I am on the telephone or when I go out on a . date. He thinks it's very funny to make remarks like "You should see her in her curlers" or "Gee, lucky you called her --she hasn't had a date in a month." Sometimes he tries to grab the telephone from me and yells things into it. When I try to spank him he goes screaming to my parents and they protect him. They think he's cute and they nev er criticize him. But every thing I do is terrible. Things have gotten so bad I just hate my home and family. I get the rotten end of everything. Mrs. J. F. Ralph is often mischievous and hard to han dle and we do try to control him. But you can't do it all the time. He is still a child and boys will be boys. I feel that Rita should be grown-up enough to understand this and just ignore him. Unfortunately, Rita is real ly just as childish as he is and she does things to annoy him. She'll walk into a room, turn off the TV program he's watching and turn on the one she wants. Then' there is a feud on for weeks, I have told Rita again and again that if she does things to provoke Ralph she'll have TOSTESEN O Painting Q Paperhanging SP 2 - K - d)q) rim TABLE MODEL FM RADIOS AND CONSOLE AM-FM RADIO PHONOGRAPH COMBINATIONS!

She always insists that he started it but how is a parent to know? Council: We agree that it is impossible for a parent to know which child to punish when each points the accusing finger saying, He started it." We also believe that it is impossible to eliminate a cer tain amount of feuding be tween children in a household. ! The best that parents can do; is establish certain rules for , fighting. Some things are just ; below the belt and parents must . step in as referee and call a foul ' ; The battle of the TV set, j for example, might reasonably lead to a couple of smacks or punches. It .should eventually be settled by arbitration with the parents guaranteeing each child a fair amount of TV viewing. However, when it comes to j retaliation in the form of up-j setting a girl's social life, it1 is time for parents to step in ' very firmly. This is definetly below the belt. Her dates, the appearance she makes to a ; boy, the home setting she is : seen in are so important to a girl that no younger sister or brother should be allowed to interfere no matter what the provocation. Rita shows that she feels she is not getting her fair share of understanding from her parents and we think she is right. If her parents pro tected her from cruel and un fair heckling from her kid: brother, it is possible that Rita would be more grown-up 3 7503 TXT Expert workmanship . .
