By BILL JENKINS The pen may be mightier than the sword but it bcgiris to appear that any future battles are going to be lost through the medium of television instead. Not too long ago we were com plaining bitterly in this column that civilization had already gob bled up loo much of the world and making a gloomy prediction that what with portable radios al ready here it wouldn't be Ions before a portable television set came along. Well, it's happened. In one of the dreariest news re leases to come across this desk in many a moon I have been in formed that Motorola TV will in troducc, early in 1115!), a small, lightweight, transistorized, cordless television set based on a new bat tery produced by Gulton Indus tries. According to the blurb this bat tery is non-gassing, lias a life ex pectancy of '10 years and is a nickel cadmium battery consist ing of corbonyl nickel powder sint ered to a perforated steel strip . . . insuring both rigidity and per manence ol a porous shape in the sintered powder form. The bat tery can he recharged simply by plugging the set into a wall sock ct overnight." So there you have it. No longer will the average Amer ican have to do without his late, late, late horror movie simply be cause he had a desire to go out and park under the moon and lis ten to the frogs. The local lovers' lanes in the country will take on the aspect of a convention of electrical engi neers and there won't really be any reason for Johnny to read. In fact the thing may change the entire face of the world as we know it now. If we can have portable TV sets why not go the whole route and build 'em in every size? I can see the day coming when high way signs will no longer be paint ed boards hut living screens. Im agine a 60-foot screen nt the curve advertising Iho blended filtered filler in your denicotinized cigar ette? Even the slates may do away with their tired old sharp curve signs and substitute snappy television scenes of bloody wrecks that occurred when a car exceeded the speed limit. Restaurants will no longer have to pin a typewritten copy of the day's menu in the window. They can have a televised picture of the actual procedures of cooking going. I suppose in time we will have not only portable color television but a set that will exude odors as well. With such a contraption a man could really push even beef hash with yesterday's chicken gra Y.v " it- As a matter of fact, if we keep on with television long enough We may even do away wilh the writ ten language and go back to writ ing with pictures. Like the stone age men did. In fact, if the archoologists keep at it long enough and dig down deep enough under all those old dinosaur hones and fro-magnon man skeletons they may find remnants of Pleistocene televis ion sels. Maybe we aren't so small aft er all. But one Hung is rertatn. No ef fort will be spared to sec that we not only have two cars in every garage and a chicken in every pot hut a spare picture lube in every wallet. li U PnwHI By HAL BOYLE j NEW YORK ..P - "I don't believe in drifting." said Dick Poweli.

By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK-AP With Ameri can nuclear submarines making headlines on both sides of the At lantic today, industry is stepping up its interest in the atom on the front. Some commercial nuclear pow er plants already are in operation and others are being built. And nuclear research reactors are operating at various points from one side of the nation to the other. Still more are being install ed. An operating nuclear research reactor built by Atomics Interna tional, a division of North Ameri can Aviation, is being set up in Geneva for (he second Intel-nation al Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, opening next week. Six i0-walt nuclear research re actors are being built by thai com pany at Canoga Park, Calif., for use by educational institutions and industrial research laboratories. Curliss-Wright has a general purpose nuclear installation at its research development center at Quehanna, Pa., offering labora tory and radiation services (or in dustry.

By one means or another, it is possible for most victims of rag weed hay fever today to get a good deal of relief. Hay lvr By EDWIN P. JOJtDAN, M. Written for NEA Service Millions of people suffer from some kind of allergy. Simply de fined, allergy may be called an increased or abnormal sensitivity to some substance which is for eign to the human body. The offender may be inhaled in the form of pollen from the air. taken into the body as food or medicine. Or it may be a contact agent, such as weeds, dandruff or lacquer. A normal person does not re act to the foreign substance. The allergic person may show any one of several unpleasant responses. Today I shall discuss the most common form of allergy, which is known as hay fever. Actually, it does not produce fever and rare ly comes from hay. The most serious form of hay fever is usually that which comes in the late summer or early fall and is the result of allergy to the pollen of the common ragweed. There are other kinds of hay fever which generally come at dif ferent times of the year and re sult from tree, grass, flower or other pollens. Probably still the best proced ure for a person wilh sever hay fever is lo find out by skin test ing which pollen is responsible and lo receive injections of diluted ex tracts of these' pollens far in ad vance of the season. This is called desensitizalion, and often brings full or partial relief. When a person is susceptible to severe ragweed hay fever and has not taken the shots, or does not get sufficient relief from them, the season is looked forward to as a time of misery. Many seek some area where ragweed is ab sent, or present only in small quantities. In North America there arc many such regions. However, for those people who have to slay put in an area where ragweed pollen is plentiful, there arc improved measures of relief. One of these is' air conditioning, particularly if cooling is combined with washing or filtering the air. Modern drugs are helpful. Those which hove the most dramatic ef fects are the antihistamines. These are laken by mouth. They often striking improvement ol Association By DAN RAPOPORT United Press International The Washington phone book has a category titled "Associations." Under that title are listed approxi mately 960 names from A A A. the American Automobile Asso ciation, to the Zionist organization. The list includes 220 outlUs which carry the name "national." and only a few of the entire 960 are local. Generally speaking, the associa tions can be broken down into five major categories politicaj, trade, veterans, services and a catch-all we might as well label "miscel laneous." The veterans alone have 15 separate organizations repre senting tliem in the capital. There are another 14 organizations con cerning themselves with active and retired personnel of the armed forces. Some of the names are mis leading. There's the Handwriting Foundation, for example, which is not a school for graphologists. The Handwriting Foundation is a pub lie relations concern representing manufacturers of fountain pens and mechanical pencils. The National Anti - Dumping Committee has nothing to do with trash disposal. It's concerned wilh the so-called dumping of foreign-made goods on the American market. The various political and semi- political organizations range from an outfit called "For America" it likes conservative candidates to the big national committees of the two major parties. Then m our miscellaneous cat egory we find the National Con federation of American Ethnic Groups, an alliance of all' the arious nationality groups sprinkled throughout the United Slates. II considers itself so non-political it has refused membership to con gressmen who wanted to join. But most of Washington orga nizations have at least indirect political goals, many of them are frankly and openly lobbying out fits.

Diplomatic officials who report ed this said reopening of the U.S. information ollice, shut down since the revolt exploded six weeks ago, is one of the steps the new regime has been asked to take. The State Department also is urging Iraq to end half a dozen other annoying restrictions ham pering the work of diplomats both in the U. S. Embassy and in American consulates. These restrictions, officials said. are not viewed as a deliberate campaign of harassment at this time. Rather, they are looked on as being the result of confusion and overzealous supervision evi dent since Ihe July 14 change in government.
