Khrushchev Believed Looking for Even Slightest Rift in Western Unity

than 55 million American
men labor 5 million man

London - (UPD - The clash
between President Kennedy's

and French President Charles
de Gaulle's concept of a third-
force Europe has not gone un
noticed In Moscow.
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev is to all appear
ances slowing down his
"peace probe" with Kennedy
to see what pickings can be
gleaned from the rift in the
Western alliance.
The Kremlin has in the past
shown itself especially reluc

Fertilher Can Harm Good Field
College Station, Tex. - WPD
- Farmers can harm a good
field by adding commercial
firm, who also say removing
his quota of half a billion
whiskers will require 1,338
hours of a man's lifetime
The 19th century poet
Thomas Campbell, according
to the numbers JufcgUrs at
Schick incorporated, calculat
ed that his contemporaries
spent enough time shaving to
learn seven languages.
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.

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.

has equipped every room in

Whatever sparse comment
has come from Moscow in an

been discouraging and has re
flected little readiness on the
Russian side for a speedy

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.

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.

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

But Soviet shiDDine offi
cials can do things their
Western competitors cannot.
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."

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.

U.S. Has Emerged
As Tourist Mecca
By MURHAV J. 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.
