Arguments pro and con on the subject of shaving have been voiced by men through out history. Diogenes, an early version of today's motivational re searcher, asked shaven men whether they were tryl ig to change their sex. The Rus sians claimed a few .enturies later that it is easier to bear a child once a year than to shave daily. , Alexander the Great order ed his soldiers to shave off their beards to deprive enemy swordsmen of a dangerously convenient hand hold. Charle magne required his men to wear beards, as a quick means of identification in battle To escape the terrors of plucking out their whiskers with clam shells, some men resorted to pogonotrophy, or beard growing, a word derlv . ed from the Greek pogon (beard) and trophe (nourish ment). But they were subject to special dangers. In 1705, Peter the Great, of Russia imposed taxes up to 100 rubles on any mr.n who wore a beard or mustache. The pressure of today's soolal custom, more subtle but equally effective as Peter's heavy tax, has discouraged all but some 200,000 Ameri can men from cultivating beards. Beard growing reportedly received a disheartening blow in 1567 when one Hans Stein Inger, an Austrian who sport ed the longest beard on rec ord - 8 teet 9 inches - was said to have tripped over his beard and fallen down a flight of stairs on a dark night, Breaking his neck. More men became poeono tomists, or shavers, as razor technology progressed. The first major steps in this di rection were taken around 1740 when the discovery of high-carbon steel enabled Eu ropeans to manufacture a hollow-ground straight razor that could be honed to hold a sharp edge. At abou the same time some link 'own benefactor introduced lather to shaving. But the problem of elimin ating the need for blade and soap and strop from a man's daily routine went unsolved until the early years of this century, when Col. Jacob Schick, an American soldier and inventor, formulated the concept of dry shaving and Introduced his electric shaver. ing a soil test, extension soil chemist W. F.

Farmers should first deter mine the fertility and acidity level of soil through a soil testing program, Bennett says. cy commitments with the al lies when uncertainties in the international scene offered the slightest prospect of a shift In the East - West pow er balance. Moscow appears to have remained true to its strategy. The sudden termination by the Russians of the nuclear test ban talks with the United States and Britain in Wash ington recently looks like the first move in their new wait-and-see policy. Khrushchev ostensibly has been taken by surprise by the troubles in the Western alli ance. Communist diplomats 'picture him as puzzled and at We same time intrigued by the prospect it might hold out for him to exploit. Studying Collapse The Kremlin is reported to be studying the implications of the collapse of the Brus sels Common Market talks on Europe on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and on its nuclear strategy.

Russian behavior more close ly at the conference table. Whatever sparse comment has come from Moscow in an ticipation of the talks has been discouraging and has re flected little readiness on the Russian side for a speedy test ban accord. Strong Indication Already Khrushchev ap pears to have started putting out feelers in Europe to es tablish just how deep the al lied r.ft goes and how it could affect United States po litical and military strength. The Soviet leader has giv en strong indications in the recent past that what he is after is a settlement of sorts with Kennedy. Chinese Junk Used For Week End Sails St. Louis - (UPD - William Grosse and Terriil R. Rees Jr., own a Chinese junk. , The men ordered the vessel from a shipbuilder in Hong Kong. The junk was shipped to New Orleans, then went by barge to Paducah, Ky., and was run under its own power to Kentucky lake, where the Grosse and Rees families take week end sails. He is said by Communist diplomats not to have chang ed his mind so far because he does not think that DeGaulle can offer him much. But what he apparently is hoping for is to get a better bargain lat er out of the allied troubles. Plagued by serious diffi culties with Communist China which have threatened to es calate into an open break in the Communist movement, the "breather" - in the view of diplamatic observers in London - could hardly have come Bt a better time for the Kremlin chief. MLUtUttl) MAIL HUPUnt.. MtUtOKU, OWbUUSI THURSDAY, FLBHUAHY 31. 1961 J ussicainis Push Expansion of Merchant IPDeeft By DONALD R- SHANOR United Press International At least once a day, every day, Cuban port authorities hoist the Soviet flag ever one of their harbors to signal the arrival of another Russian tanker or freighter. The big ship moves into the blue-green harbor waters. Orders are shouted from its decks in accented Spanish and the Cuban dockworkers scramble to make lines fast. Another cargo of machinery, trucks, oil, or arms has ar rived in Cuba. Soviet ships are trying to fill the gap left by the with drawal of most allied and neu tral shipping from the island under U. S. pressure. Last July, 92 non-Communist ships traded with Cuba. Last month the number was only 14. Soviets Push The new National Security council order barring U. S. government cargoes from ships in the Cuba trade is expected to reduce non-Communist shipping even further. To meet this challenge, the Soviet Union is pushing ex pansion of its merchant fleet at a rate faster than that of any other maritime nation. The shipbuilding program has other aims besides keep ing up the supply lines to Cuba. It will provide the ships to transport Soviet aid to neutral nations and carry the goods in Premier Nikita Khrushchev's "peaceful com petition" campaign against the West. The State department sa'J last month that Soviet ships were arriving at Cuban ports "on an average of more than one a day." It said this total did not include foreign ships under charter to the Soviets. Fleet Is Small The Russian merchant fleet today is comparatively small. The Russians now have only about one-third of the 14 mil lion tons of merchant ship ping sailing under the Amer ican flag, and the United States ranks only fourth in the world. But the Soviets have more than 3 million tons of ship ping under construction, com pared to less than a million tons in U. S. shipyards, and they are adding ships at this rate every year. Two or three new ships of various types and displace ment are being launched in the Soviet Union each day," the Tass news agency report ed from Moscow last month. The statement is somewhat misleading, sinci it apparent ly refers to small river craft as well as ocean freighters. But there have been other Soviet announcements t h x t the growth of the ocean-going merchant fleet is two ships every week. This again is about twice the rate of U. S. launchings. Russia 13th The Soviet merchant fleet now ranks 13th in the world. Britain, Norway and Liberia, where many foreign shippers register their vessels, are at the top of the list, ahead of the United States. But the Soviets are deter mined to catch up with the West in shipping as in other fields, and their plans call for a fleet of nearly 15 million tons by 1970, which would be larger than the present U. S. tonnage. Ice, bureaucracy and fi -eign policy are some of the things hampering the Soviets in their drive for first -cK.a status as merchant shippers. Many of their major ports are frozen in through the long Russian winter. Icebreakers like the Lenin, the first atom ic - powered surface ship in commission, cut paths into harbors. Tass said a new '.ype of ship, the cargo-icebreaker Amguena and others like it, can clear its own way with its 7,200-horscpower engines and thick plates. But the win ter is bound to slow naviga tion and dock work. Bureaucratic mi. ups are a frequent complaint in the So viet shipping enterprises, as in other branches of the econ omy. Cargoes pile up on docks. Some ships sail half loaded. The needs of foreign policy divert shipping space and crews into unprofitable runs like Cuba. These appear to be built-in flaws of the So viet system, harder to clear away than ice. Scout Program Becoming Popular - "Campways-USA" is a new program designed to help American youth "discover" their native land. The Boy Scouts of Ameri ca nave established a net work of more than 400 nvir. night camps from coast to coast mr touring Scout groups bent on seeing America. Ar rangements also have been made for touring Scout groups to stay overnight at some 000 military camps at minimum cost. The program has boomed since it was started three years ago. Last year, Boy Scout headquarters here proc essed more than 30.000 trips involving 525,000 boys who traveled some six million miles. The trips cover not only the United States but often extend Into foreign countries. In one week last summer, headquarters processed trips going from California to Ja pan and Oregon to Switzerland. Missile Nursing Is New Specialty New York - IWD - Missile nurses make daily visits to the launching pads at Cape Canaveral. They give counsel, answer questions and demon strate first aid and self-aid techniques to busy missile workers. Dr. Laurent P. LaRochc and Ann McMechen. a missile nurse, describe the many fac ets of the newest nursing spe cialty in the "American Jour nal of Niir:.ing," official pub lication of the American Nurses' a.ociation.

They do not have to make a profit, and can undercut West ern prices at will. They do not have to worrv about the protests or demands of dockworkers' or seamen's unions in introducing new equipment. While American shinnini was paralyzed during the re cent east and gulf coast lon- snoremens strike, the Rus sians were announcing devel opment of a new kind of car go ship that reduces dock crews drastically and speeds loading and unloading. "Two rows of hatchways make it possible to open the holds completely at the time of loading," Tass said. "lt freight handling Is done In record time by 13 electrical cranes." Can Bacoms Waapons Is the Soviet shipping ex pansion entirely in the field of Khrushchev's "nenrpfiil competition?" The Soviet freighters pho tocra nhed carrvlni? prolog missiles and bombers to Cuba last year showed that civilian ships can become nHlv weapons of war. There are omer examples. The world . wide Snvi.f trawier fleet doubtless brings back ions of fish. But it alto spies on Western navies and U. a. space shots. "There In no doubt," the authoritativa Jane's Flchtino Shi "they carry more radar and radio gear than mere fishing boats and can pass informa tion back to the USSR about warships and naval exercises of other nations." The same nuhllratlnn ,M there may be another mili tary role for the Icebreaker Lenin. "It is reported that it is not merely an Icebreak er, but is actually a parent ship for the nuclear powered submarine flotilla," it said.

BROWN New York - (UPD - Alter years of sitting back and watching Americans head overseas to pour billions ot Yankee dollars into foreign lands. Uncle Sam finally got into the act last year and went out looking for foreign tourists to help fill his till. , The result was that the United States emerged as a top international tourist at traction in 1862 and mora overseas visitors came hera than ever beore. According to figures re leased in American Express' annual year - end travel sur vey, American travel abroad last year showed a gain of nearly 10 per cent over 1961. But government statistics on travel from abroad to the United States in 1962 indi cated a gain of about 20 per cent over 1961, Much of the credit for the increase in foreign tourists should go to Congress and President Kennedy for estab lishing the U.S. Travel serv ice in June 1961.
