Allen's game fell apart for the rest of the day, much to the merriment of Ike. . Eisenhower by now is ac customed to the fog which fre quently shrouds the Newport Country club early in the morning before the summer sun has burned it away. But the other day he ran into a new atmospheric haz ard. Dense smoke from a S200.000 fire which destroyed one of the once fabulous but now abandoned showplaces at this onetime "playground of millionaires," drifted across the fifth tee and halted play for a few minutes until the wind shifted.

Kennedy at his Hyannisport. Mass., summer home, 65 miles from Newport, drifted on over here later to check on going on at the summer White House. Referring to themselves as travellers from "the enemy camp," they were closely questioned by reporters here as to the capability of Ken nedy's press officer, Pierre Salinger. The answer was that "he's no Jim Hagerty yet" but he's coming up fast. Of course, there's an election to be settled first. i Planes Engines Had Higher Stress Than Expected Los Angeles fflPD - Lockheed engineers Thursday told a hearing into the crash of an electra near Tell City, Ind., that there was more stress on the outboard engines of the plane than they had antici pated.' The Civil Aeronautics Board heard the technical tes timony on the March 17 crash that claimed 63 lives. Aeronautical engineer James Hong said the design of the plane caused "higher stress" on the outboard pro- i pellers, and their supports, on ! the four-engined Electra, al j though the inside or it board I engine usually is the one that receives the greater amount, i of pressure. I Not Important Before Chief Technical Engineer i Edward H. Spaulding told the group that the prop-jet power plants created stress in the wing "that was not previously important in a piston engined plane." He said that the wing of the Electra was strengthened after initial tests of the plane I in flight. ! The Electra. first pro-jet to J be certified by the Federal Aviation Agency FAA, had to I meet special requirements not I applicable to piston engined planes. I Spaulding said the extra stress generated by pressure from the propellers centered between the two engines. But he said that the Electra either met or exceeded all certifica tion requirements set by the FAA. L o c k h ecd announced in March, after a six-week study, that the crash of the S5 million plane was due to flut ter in the wings caused by damage in the engine mount ing that allowed the propeller to wobble, with the wings eventually snapping off at high speeds.

Earn artlcla li a summary or an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors Laura C. - Evelyn gets all privileges. Mrs, L. C. - We are trying to even the score. Laura C, - I am 16 and my sister Evelyn is nearly 15. We don't get along and my par ents show her nil the favori tism. They arc so unfair some times I feel I could just do something violent. Recently, for example, one of my aunts wanted to take me on a trip. Mv parents talked her into taking Evelyn tnstcud. Should- n t an older sister have the preference? My parents made the excuse that I have to work on my music and dancing. But they know I need a vacation once in a while too. You'd think I was nothing but a work horse. They show preference for Evelyn in a lot of other ways too. Mrs. L. C. - This problem has been going on since the girls were little more than babies. They are extremely jealous of one another and we can t seem to make them understand that we love them both equally. Now that the girls are older things are even more serious. Laura is extraordinarily pret ty, vivacious and talented. She plays the piano beautiful ly and is a fine ballet dancer. She gets a tremendous amount of attention from everyone. Evelyn, on the other hand, is a sweet, lovely girl, but nobody even notices her when Laura is around. We try to even the score a little. Tha Council: As long as the C.'s talk and think in terms of evening the score, they will be defeated in their ef forts to make their daughters happy with themselves and the world in general. Scores are rarely even and nobody can afford to be miser able about that. We are all less well off than somebody else in some respects. Those who bemoan this fact do not bother to develop their own full potentialities. A girl like Laura inevitably attracts the attention of the public. Nevertheless she is very insecure. She seriously feels her parents love her sis ter more and she can't be ex pected to feel sisterly affec tion for such a rival. We get the Impression that these parents are, themselves, overwhelmed by Laura's tal ents. Possibly they expect big things of her. It is very easy for such a child to ge the impression that her parents care only about her achieve ments and do not love her for herself. The score the C.'s want to "even" really involves their own feelings. We believe they love their two daughters equally, but perhaps their own yearnings for success have gotten in the way of the proper demonstration of love for their children. Possibly the C.'s have point ed out to Laura that she is better endowed than her sis ter and should therefore bo willing to agree to certain concessions for Evelyn. Thi3 may comfort Laura's sore ego for the moment, but it will not touch her deep - seated feelings. What is needed in this fam ily is a genuine appreciation of both girls for themselves. Undoubtedly Evelyn has won derful qualities which simply haven't been brought out be cause the parents have been sidetracked by Laura's asser tive abilities. When they can take just as much pride in Evelyn as Laura, their daugh ters will be able to live at peace with one another. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)

MEDFORD, ORE. National Health Service Now an Entrenched Part of The British Way of Life By LAURENCE MEREDITH United Press International London (UP!) Britain's National Health service, cost ing the government nearly $ billion yearly, is now an en trenched part of the British way of life. , Originally conceived by a Liberal minister in Winston Churchill's wartime coalition cabinet, it was brought Into being 12 years ago by a La bor government. The British people du not regard the program ns "soci alized medicine." Nearly uni versal acceptance has placed it beyond the realm of politi cal controversy. lt is regularly used by 95 per cent of Britain's 50 million people and served by B8 per cent of the nation's doctors. It is available to all who ask for it, whether the applicant is a citizen, or merely a week end visitor from abroad. The great majority of Bri tish specialists participate in the national program. It is es timated that only 500 to 600 general practitioners adminis ter to patients completely out side the service on a private, individual basis. j Preserves Freedom ' i The National Health serv-1 ice (NHS) was designed by its ! trainers to preserve the es-1 scntial freedoms of both pa tient and doctor. I Under its provisions the pa-' ticnt is free to choose his doc- i tor and to change to another ! if for any reason he so desires, i He may use the complete I NHS program or just part of it. Britain's doctors are neith-, er required nor obligated to join the service. If a doctor -does participate, he is allowed . under terms of the law to ac- cept private, fee-paying pa-' ticnts. He is free from any I governmental Interference In j his clinical judgments. There! are no restraints against criti-j cism of NHS or medicine in general. NHS offers Britons com plete family doctor, dental and ophthalmic services, and i free drugs and medical appli ances such as false teeth, : hearing aids, glass eyes, wigs, etc. The hospital service in-' eludes treatments, specialists, convelescent homes and am- i bulances. it also supplies ma-1 tcrnity, midwife and child welfare services. i The nearly $2 billion annu al cost of NHS represents 3.75 per cent of Britain's national gross product (the cost of all goods and services) which in j 1958 was $56 billion. The scr-1 vice's total cost represents an J outlay of approximately $40 for every man, woman and child in the country. i Costs of NHS are now, j however, consuming 5 per cent less of Briton's tax reve- j nues than they did three years ' ago. NHS funds paid by em-1 ployers and employes are par tially responsible for the re duction. ! Separate Payments ; These arc separate pay-. ments from the sickness bene fit and pension plan. A Brit ish worker now pays 26 cent weekly to NHS and his em ployer another 6 cents. These monies add up to 14 per cent of the annual NHS total bill. The British treasury pays about 72 per cent of the NHS bill. Four per cent comes from the various local gov ernments, about 5 per cent from superannuation finances and 5 per cent from sale of NHS items for which charges are made. These charges Include the 14 cents a patient pays for each prescription he purchas es at the pharmacy; $2.80 for Wedded Bliss Can Be Rough, Says Man San Artlonio, T e x.- IUPI) A. J.
