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

names of 383 drivers whose

pended during the period be

Reports
means of self-defense. 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,

of a young woman after all
known methods had failed to

On Tuesday, Nahas received

Riia F. 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

to take the consequences. If
she didn't do those mean little
things I wouldn't let him get
away with some of the things
he does. 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
