2 FRIDAY. MAY 3. 1963 MEDFORD MAW, TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON ' Fall of Venezuela To Communism Would Be Big Help To Castro Cuba Edilor't nottt The following article, last in a series ol Ilv, was prepared by Phil New torn, United fru Interna tional foreign newt analyit, after a 2S.000 - mile trip through South America. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyit Caracas, Venezuela - Com munism is on the retreat in Venezuela. This is important news. For if Communism were to take over Venezuela, Castro Cuba would have Its oil problems solved and Soviet Russia would be relieved of a tre mendous burden. And if democracy were to fail in Venezuela, despite nat ural wealth which includes $3 million a day from oil alone, then the prospects of the success for the goals for the Alliance for Progress would be dim Indeed through the whole of South America. Venezuela is not totally peaceful, for as the Commu nists and the Castroites have failed to gain a popular fol lowing they have turned to terrorism. Hand grenades ex plode in populous streets at night and Communist youth: battle police in gun fights in which at least 60 police or army guardsmen have been killed. Plots Uncovered Fires causing millions of dollars of damage have gut, ted properties owned by Sears Roebuck and Chiclet. Oil pipelines have been blown up. Plots against American ci garette, automobile and film companies have been uncov ered and thwarted. But Venezuela's tough in terior minister, Carlos And res Perez, regards these as a dying gasp. They have not prevented an increasing re turn of foreign investment and not for more than a year have the Communists been successful in staging street riots. Today's story of Venezuela largely is the story of a stock ily built man in horn-rimmed spectacles who sometimes goes under the nickname "Papa Pipa" - papa with the pipe. He is President , Romulo Betancourt who took office Feb. 13, 1959. and who, in March, 1964, has the prospect of turning over his office for the first time in Venezuelan history to a peacefully elected successor. Betancourt already has served in office longer than any of his elected predecessors. Betancourt took office Just at Venezuela was emerging from the dictatorship of Mar cos Perez Jiminez. The coun try, with a population of oniy about Vh million, was. $400 million in debt.

A number of women write to a.sk mc this question because their doctors have told them that they have it. I imagine that the doctors are right, be cause "glo bus," as we physicians of ten call it for short, is an ex tremely common complaint of nervous women. Any old doctor who has been listening to patients for 40 or 50 years can recognize the story the minute he hears it: he recognizes it like the face of an old friend. He hardly has to examine the woman to see if there is any thing wrong in her throat. I imagine that in most cases, he doesn't examine her, and yet he is perfectly right in his diagnosis. If he were to call in the best throat spe cialists in the country, they couldn't find anything wrong. Actually, many of us "nor mal" people can get a "lump in the throat" when we see a sad play - or even when we feel thrilled by some thing. If I remember my an cient history correctly, the Greek doctors of 400 years before Christ knew this symp tom well, only they had the Idea that the "lump" in the throat of a woman was her womb, which had moved up into her throat. In Greek, MOTHER'S DAY CARDS Mother's Day Sunday, May 12 217 E. Main Sr. MtdforJ hystcra means womb. If the old physicians had been more observant, they would have noticed that men, especially in battle, can be come Just as hysterical as women. Curiously, I don t re member ever having seen man who was complaining of globus hystericus. Can Breathe Perfect A highly nervous woman should never get at all wor ried when she feels as if there is a lump caught in her throat. She should note that she can swallow all right; her swal lowed food goes down and it doesn't come up, as it would if there were some obstruction in her gullet. She can breathe perfectly, so the doctor knows that there la no obstruction in her voice box or the trachea and bronchi, which carry air into and out of the lungs. , Another way in which a woman may know that the "lump in her throat" is not bad or dangerous or likely to "turn into anything" is to remember that usually it soon goes away, as her sad ness eases. She may also re member that she has had many such spells throughout her life, that the "lump" usu ally comes when she is dis tressed emotionally. Some physicians think that the feeling of a lump in the throat is due to contractions In certain muscles in the throat and neck, and they may be right, but the feeling MAY be produced entirely in the brain. Usually, there is no treat ment needed, because the "lump" soon disappears by Itself. If it should show a tendency to remain, as after the death of a loved one, a tranquilizer or sedative might help. i-v-' -( w; f a . Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M.

My parents turned to the older folks for wise guidance and I'd like to be able to turn to them when I'm uncertain.

What Does a Mouthful of Moiauitoei Taste Like A mouthful of mosquitoes has a decided moldy taste. They are not good but slightly easier to set along with in nne'a mouth than in the nose where they tickle, or in the eves where they hurt. It is almost useless to spit them out, for when the mouth is open another bunch rusnes in. On the tongue they make a funny vibration for a min ute before they drown or get too wet to buzz-then they are soggy. I was trying to breathe as I walked along a Jungle path at the edge of a large swamp. At every step a cloud of mos quitoes swarmed up and began circling about my neaa. mere were so many it was impos sible to take a breath unless cupped my hand oyer my mouth to strain out the bulk of the bodies. It was the few hundred that got through, with every breath, that tasted so bad. Became Frantic At first I tired breathing through my nose. That was punishment. The bugs became frantic when they found them selves there; they set up a high pitched buzz that actual ly shook my entire head. I had stuffed cotton in my ears, so all I had to worry about was my mouth, nose and eyes. I saved my nose by breath ing through my mouth with my hand over it, but mosqui toes are hard on a person's eyes. By closing mine until they were mere slits, 1 found 1 ran into trees and fell into mud holes. After I hit a large solid tree I backed away dazed, but the mosquitoes stayed with me. I was lugging along with me a diving mask I intended to use in a deep part of a near by lake. This gadget offered, what I hoped would be, a so lution. It was a glass fronted affair with a long, pretzel- shaped snorkel tube attached. I put the mask over my face, covering up my eyes, nose and mouth. I looked out through the glass porthole at the million frustrated mosqui toes. The end of the snorkel tube stuck up above my head like the antenna of some giant bug. I must have looked like something from another world to the mosquito horde that swarmed about me. J , watched the circling swarm before the faceplate; my breath was coming down clear, unclutered and bugless. I figured I had it made. How marvelous, I tiiought, the in genuity of the unknown man who designed and built this wonderful contraption with which a man can see and breath under water, or even make a monkey of a couple of million mosquitoes. I felt as if I owed that man a debt of gratitude. How very silly those bevies of bugs looked; the stupid Jerks duzz ing about my head, little sus pecting that I through the magic of mechanics, was breathing normally and seeing right through them. Foresight The man who made that gadget had foresight. For the first time in hours I could take a deep breath. Although there "was no ointment which they could get into," those mosquitoes by some disgust ing knowledge, were planning a new strategy. They must have sensed where I was get ting my air from, and as a single unit they ascented a few inches. My deep breath sucked a screaming horde into my face plate. What didn't go directly into my mouth and nose, buzz ed furiously in the little open space in front of my face. In ventive genius had let me down. I tore off the mask. The musty taste was strong and sickening; not sweet, bitter, or sour - just nauseously musty. Stalemate on Oregon Marshal Continues Washington -flat- Members of the Oregon congressional delegation Wednesday were unable to break a stalemate over recommendation of a Democrat for U.S. marshal for the state. The post is still held by Paul Kearney, a Republi can, and indications were he may remain in the job several more months. Such positions normally change when another politi cal party takes over the administration. TAUIUS .

In Betancourt's four years, he has been the target of one assassination attempt and four major military revolts. From the assassination at tempt he still bears the scars on his face and hands. Government efforts and en couraging facts and figures are one thing, but in Venezu ela something else also is oc curring that is among the most heartening in all of South America. It is a phenomenon affect ing the "barrios," the slum villages whose shacks crawl wretchedly up the sides ofrthe hills surrounding Caracas. One of these is the Alia- nista area. In the Altanista area is a little barrio called La Linea" because a rail line once ran there. . Red Leadership Toppled It is noteworthy for the political change which has seized leadership from the Communists there and for an American girl named Wini fred Marich, a blonde 25- year-old graduate of the Uni versity of California at Los Angeles who could be a beauty queen on any campus. Winifred is a member of a unique organization called Ac- cion en Venezuela, founded several years ago by another UCLA graduate, Joseph Blatchford, who now makes his headquarters in Caracas. Accion en Venezuela pre dated the U.S. Peace Corps and its members moved direct ly into the barrios Among the slum shacks and their dwellers, Winifred Mar ich has worked for the last year and a half. Vigorous Campaign Communist youths tore down a fence which had been erected to prevent children falling to their deaths down the precipitous hillsides. Communist leaders cam paigned vigorously against Accion en Venezuela. But the Reds were fighting a losing battle. Today, the man who threat ened or endangered the tall, blonde girl from California would take his life in hi hands from other villagers. : Adults are learning to read and write.
