Jimmy Hatlol HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Wt Those Ions winter evening commercials on television have revived the lost art of reading. There is no better time to pick up a good book and seille back lor a reunion with the punted word than during those cheery interludes on your video screen during which the announcer tells you how you can avoid body odor and protect your ItuiRs by drinking only fil tered beer, packed in a king-size reirigerator that can be thrown away after using only once. "During one long commercial 1 read my way through three feet of Dr. 'Eliot's old five-foot book Fhelf," a man bragged recently. "My wife, w'ho has read all our books, knitted a sweater during another commercial."

J Questions on hernia keep crop ping up and several of these will be discussed today. The names "hernia" and "rup ture" mean the same. Normally, the skin, and particularly the muscles, are responsible for keep ing some of our anatomy where it belongs. Inside the abdomen In particular, however, there are a number of organs and structures JCS. Chief On Pacific Tour TOKYO Wl Adm. Arthur Rad ford, chairman of the U.S. Joini Chief3 of Staff and Walter S. Rob ertson, U.S. assistant secretary of state, arrived Monday on a tour that will take them through Ja pan, Korea, Formosa and the Philippines. Robertson, who last summer won from. South Korean President Syng man Rhee a promise to observe an armistice, told newsmen he expects Rhee "to cooperate with His allies" in Korea. Robertson made the statement at Tokyo international airport :n answer to questions about Rhee's probable future moves. Both Radiord and Robertson de scribed, their trip as routine. Radtord said he and Robertson planned to attend the presidential inauguration of Ramon Magsay say in Manila Dec. 30 and decided the occasion was a good chance to gather knowledge in the Far East. which keep pressing on these out er covers. The pressure Inside is increased by muscular exertion such as heavy lifting or coughing. Also there are some spots around the covering of the abdomen which are weaker than others. This is espec ially true of men. It is at these spots that the walls are most likely to give way somewhat and the contents of the abdomen tend to bulge through, forming a rupture. That's really all a hernia is, a bulging through the surrounding wall of some of the structures which lie within a cavity. For a person not engaged in heavy man ual laoor a rupture may not cause any trouble though there is always the risk mat it will some day come out farther and get strangled or develop some other complication. Nevertheless, treatment is usual ly desirable and unless there are good reasons to the contrary, sur gery is best. A truss or support does not cure. Most operations for hernia can be done without special risk at almost any age, but one has to decide whether the occupa tion and other considerations jus tify the period of invalidism and the expense. When one speaks of double hern ia, it means that the wall has giv en way on both sides so thai there is a rupture in two places. Operation is the same, though it takes twice as long, and surgeons often repair both at the same time. An operation is not always suc cessful and occasionally a rupture breaks through again. If it does, which is uncommon today, it will have to be operated on again in I order to produce a firm wall. Even though the Russians' orig inal ouhmid rebutf of President Ei senhower's atomic peace proposal was later reversed, one finds it ;iard to digest the incredible stu pidity of their first response. As most of the world recognized instantly, the President's plan was iresh and different, at once prac tical and idealistic. The Reds greet ed it, however, with an assortment of their weariest cliches. How they imagined a standard serving of Communist propaganda would be adequate for this totally new occa sion is a mystery. - They even called the plan a varl nt of the old Baruch plan for con trol of atomic energy, which is just exactly what it is not. The Russians surely cannot ser iously believe thpt these painfully lamiliar- propaganda devices are going to impress anyone at all. If they do think so, then they have lost all contact with reality. Every word that has emanated from official White House circles about the President's proposal indi cates it is a serious attemnt to grapple with the deadliest element in world tensions. Such an effort demands a sober answer. Even neutrals predisposed to give Russia rather than the United States the benefit of any doubt want to hear something more than routine guff from the Krenv lin.. Unless the men in Moscow have taken leave of their senses, they will fulfill their later promise to give the Eisenhower plan "ser ious consideration." If they do, and If they agree to discuss the President's program in private conversations with all interested powers, the chances are stron1 hoewver, that the ultimate effect will not prove much better than if they should rest on the first foolish utterances they made. For the Russians have never yet shown they are interested in the substance of real peace and real disarmament. They commit them selves to the appearance only, since genuine peace and advanc ing prosperity would be enemies of the cause they seek to spread across the globe. From the Kremlin's viewpoint the most sensible move would be to agree to atom peace talks and then stall them or bog them down in haggling along conventional Communist lines. That would re capture appearances, but yield nothing of substance. As for the United States and its allies, their course is plain what ever the Soviet Union does. Mr, Eisenhower's proposal to build 0 world bank of atomic materials and foster their application to meel icine, agriculture, industrial power ana otner peacetime use snoum go lorward with or witnout tne Russians. This plan has the grandeur of outline for all its modest content which marked the Marshall Plan. It opens a new vista of world development that beckons all men of good will. That vista should be explored with all those peoples who are willing to make the journey. During EMU'S TUESDAY SURPRISE! NOTICE: Last week end's Christmas specials good thru Thursday night.

PLEASE FRANK TRIPP This W( is' the last chance, "only x apping aays 01 cnrist mas." It gives procrastinators the jitters but is sweet music to weary salespeople. Yet, with all the blus ter, the majesty of Christmas far overshadows any man-made ad junct of the holy day. There is only one unfortunate phrase of Christmas giving. It is the heartaches that it brings to so many; the glorification to size and glamour that smothers the spirit of a humble gift and makes its giver miserable. Oh why must people grieve that they can't "do more?" I wish I could tear the price tag off of Christmas. If you'll pardon an intensely personal incident, I'll try. It best emphasizes what I'm trying to write. Ed Tripp's house was one of simple comforts, yet by today's professionalized welfare standards its one 'child likely would be classed among the "borderline un derprivileged" which would have been fighting words to Ed. He wanted neither tender sympathy nor "budget payments." He Just Dr. Milliken Dies At 85 PASADENA, Calif. UP) Dr. Rob ert Millikan, world renowned sci entist and dean of American phys icists, Is dead. The 85-year-old Nobel prize win ner succumbed Saturday at a rest nome. He had been bedridden with infirmities of age for several months. His body will lie In state tomor row at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in nearby Glendale. Private services are being planned for Wednesday. Dr. Millikan, an authority on cosmic rays, for years was head of the California Institute of Tech nology here. He lived in nearby Ban Marino. Winner of -the Nobel Prize in physics in 1923, he held 25 honor ary degrees from universities and wrote 18 books and hundreds of papers. His son, Dr. Clark Millikan, pro fessor of Aeronautics at Caltech. was with his father when the end' came. Another son, Max F. Milli kan, is professor of economics at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. Dr. Millikan's wife, the former Greta Blanchard, to whom he had been married since 1902, died last Oct. 10. wanted work. This house weathered its crises on what could be saved from daily wages that now are paid per hour. The year of 18H9 was a tough one, railroadev"' wns slack; Ed's savings were exl.rtUi.ua ( Christmas came. On Hi $Atot wall hung a tambourine, upon which a friend had crudely painteu a gaudy pastoral scene. I had al ways teased to thump and jingle it, but is was one of .mother's prized possessions, her only "oil painting," not a plaything, she ex plained. When I went downstairs tha Christmas morning there was an apple in rny stocking and a little candy cane; on the floor a couple of homemade toys that my father had contrived. There also was a strange aura in the room that even a child could detect; the pang that parents feel when their child seems disappoint ed. Mine were thinking of the stacks of toys I'd soon encounter in playmates' homes. Then something happened that was to influence my attitude to ward Christmas all through life. Pop pointed to the wall, mother nodded; and a radiant smile came upon her face. 1 jumped for Joy. Mom gave me her cherished tambourine. I can't remember a happier Christmas. It was years before I understood what my parents passed through. They, thought they let me, down; instead they had given me the one thing I wanted most in all the world; a treasure that they prized, a humble token from the heart. This is the true Christmas giving, all men live to discover. Have you ever marveled at the choice of children? We have seen ours desert expensive toys to play with kitchen gadgets. Anna keeps a bottom drawer full of castoff cookie moulds, pie tins, measur ing cups, spoons and mixers; an array of playthings, battered and bent; the best loved toys of any in the house. No, it is Isn't the children who make Christmas a carnvial of ex travagance, a vulgar show to beat the Joneses. It is parents, who de luge them with more than they can use or comprehend and plant tne seed or waste and overindul gence in generations to come. As truly as it is blessed to give, so it is evil to overgive. How much better to spread that stack that no one child can enjoy, among the less fortunate. Many a toy that will land In your attio or cellar by New Year's can make some poor kid happy all week long. : And yours will' never miss it. j THE MARK OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS HAT make Stefton part of your man give him a STETSO N Gift Certificate , Goodby shopping worries!

'' FROM $10 r ,r t -- Open Tuesday and Wednesday till 9 DREWS Manstore '733 Main Phone 3463 James Marlow "WASHINGTON ( Never before In the history ot the country have the people hnd to depend so blindly on the military wisdom ot Its leaders. The Russians have atom bombs, they may have hydrogen bombs, and the number ot their troops un der arms is impressive. Nevertheless, the Elsenhower administration Is olannlnE to re- duce the manpower o U.S. armed forces with the exception of the Air Force this year and still fur ther next year. The administration has two mo tives: 1. A desire to keep campaign promises by reducing expenses. 2. More reliance on new weap ons and the special teams and planes to deliver them. , Sbice the wisdom of these do- cisions may not be known for years. it has to be assumed mean while that the military planners know what they are doing. We are told that scientific de velopment of new weapons since World War II has been astonish ing, changing the old concepts of fighting a war. What the new de velopments arc. what can be ex pected of them necessarily is known only to the military people, the President, his close advisers and the atomic experts. In the atomic field (he size nnd power of the bombs are not known by the public. They can't even be imagined. Laymen know only that they are many times more power ful than those dropped on Japan. Some idea of their power. although still beyond the ability of the lay mind to comprehend, was given by President Eisenhower in his Dec. 9 speech to the United Nations. He said the United states stock pile of atomic weapons today "ex ceeds by many times the explosive total of all bombs and all shells that came from every plane and every gun in every theater of war through all the years of World War II." And as a warning to the Rus sians he said anyone who tried an attack would be repaid quickly by having his homeland laid waste. This was an expression of con fidence which the public, not know ing the details, must take on faith. Military power was something which could be understood better In World war II. Then there were few mysteries. It was generally understood that if you hod enough troops, guns, ships, planes and traditional bombs your chances of winning were pretty good. Everyone had pretty much tne same sort of thing, nore or less. And there was no great mystery about the bombs. The bigger they were, the more powerful they were and the more damage they could do. This country no doubt has a greater supply of atomic weapons than the Russians since tne united States has been building them longer. In time the Russians may have enough for wartime needs, if they don't now. When that happens both sides. havinjr sufficient bombs to blast each other off the earth, may have to revise all over again their ideas about warmaking, looking for still newer ways to do it, unless in the meantime they can . agree to let each other stay alive. More Letters Appeal American POW's In Kore, PANMUNJOM (A An annal from a Texas mother to "come back to your country and to your God" arrived Monday for delivery to her sou, one of 22 American war prisoners who remained with the Comunists. "It Is going to be a very sad Christmas for us unless you de cide to come home," Mrs. J. H. Adams of Corslcana said in her appeal to Sgt. Howard G. Adams. The message was broadcast to Tokyo ,and relayed to Panmunjom US Air Power Still Tops WASHINGTON Ifl Gen. Nnth an F. Twining, Air Force chief of staff, said Monday America's air offense still packs a harder punch than Russia's but he warned that the Soviet Union is making "a tre mendous effort to overcome that lead." The Air Force chief also said in a copyrighted Interview in the mag azine "U.S. News and World Re port" that the United States Is in belter position to strike through the air. should war come, than to de fend herself against air assault. He suggested the Soviets may' be trailing In development of a po tent air offenso because the Rus sians have had practically no war lime experience with strategic, long-range operations. Twining snld American air su periority would cut down any ad vantage the Russians might enjoy from big land armies. He hinted that atomic bombs would make strategic bombing more effective than it was In World War II, when only conventional explosives were used except for the two A-bombs dropped. on Japan. During World War II, he sold, American aircraft sometimes had to strike at a target four or five times "before we knocked it out." "I don't think we'll have to go back a second time to knock out a target now," hp added.
