WYNNE Let's change our scenery for a day and take a look at the bub bling cauldron that is Berlin. From this long range viewpoint it .appears that the Kremlin is jug gling a cold potato that turned suddenly into a hot one. It is only too plain to see. it the world will but open its eyes, that it is the Kremlin who keeps the world in a turmoil and con tinually raises threats to peace. The Berlin incidence is a typical example. Khrushchev (elt this an Ideal time what with the situation at Quemoy at a standstill to shift the picture away from this check mate of the Chinese Reds to an other scene. This, also, is typical Communist strategy. Initially, he raised the ' specter of another Berlin blockade by threatening to turn over control of Berlin to East Germany, lmme diatcly the Allies closed ranks on the issue, and came up with some blunt warnings. They would stay In Berlin '. . . period. They did not rule out the use of force, if necessary, to main tain the lines of supply and com municalion into Berlin and Khrushchev sensed immediately that he might be creating a pow derkeg that could blow up in his lace. Also, one astute observer pointed out the great big flaw in the Russian move. Under the terms of the Potsdam agreement which Khrushchev held up as the shield lor his actions, if they turned their zone of Berlin over to the East Germans then Poland would have to withdraw its occu pation over portions of Eastern Germany which have never been acknowledged by the western powers. In olher words, if the Russians retreated from Berlin, they would have to withdraw from all of Ger many. When this was pointed out, they shifted their plan. After hurried consultations they came up with their new plan, the status of a free city for Berlin They tried the same thing some years back with Danzig. It didn't work. What, In effect, this would do would be to throw the West Bor- liners who are free peoples at the mercy of the East Germans who are Russian-run. Berlin is sur rounded by East Germany, and once it became a so-called free city, the communist East Germans would be in excellent position to overrun the city and within a rel atively short time elections would he engineecrcd to put the city completely in the hands of East Germany. The Russian plan is pretty trans parent. However, it does have powerful propaganda value. The answer for the west is to do mand unification at this time for all Germany, and withdrawal of all occupation troops. The time ap pears to be ripe, and the West Ger man forces arc now of sufficient strength and training as to be able to hold their own. It's lime we countered by propos ing that Germany-wide elections he held under strict supervision, and all occupation forces with drawn. This may be the next move. It Is not the move that the Russians want at this time, but it would give us a powerful countering propa ganda move of our own. it ic around, living as best they can. till they take a shot at the next election.

(LTD Back stairs at the White House: Any minute now, President Eis enhower will be sending secret orders to the Army and Navy, an annual chore which strains to the utmost his position on unification of the armed forces. The problem at hand is Satur day's Army-Navy football game. Eisenhower, despite his many years as a professional soldier and even with his background as a onetime Army halfback, has de clined since taking office in 1953 to attend the annual service grid iron classic. wny." He aoesn i want lo be in the position of rooting for one service against another. His annual custom is to send separate telegrams to each team on the day of the game which will be played in Philadelphia this Saturday. Usually, the messages say just about the same thing good luck against the foe, may the best team win. Then the similarity ends as he appends to the Army telegram a private sentence of extra encouragement. Football fans long have puzzled over what possible trouble Eisen hower could get into by attending the game. Army and Navy alter nate each year as the host team and the President could sit on the host side of the field without arousing undue alarm within the services. He seems to feel, however, that it would be unseemly foi the Chief Executive to sit with the Bluejackets on alternate years and whoop it up for Army. it the Air force Academy ends up in one of the post season bowls, won't that raise another problem? Would it be unduly mil itaristic for the now-civilian chief executive to root for the Falcons over a team of civilians? Conceivably, this could be bigger presidential headache than rooting for Army over Navy. the football faithful who endures annually the vicissitudes of vveath er, crowds and transportation o watch the Army - Navy battle might search beyond Eisenhow er's inter-service propriety to de termine why he never goes to the game. The Army and the Navy, when they originally established the tradition of playing at the close of the season, did not realize (hit their game date would eventually conflict with prime time for golf ing in Georgia. If Eisenhower gives up golfing Saturday alternoon lo watch the big game on television, it will represent not only his patent int erest in the two teams, but a sac rifice that can be appreciated only by an ardent golfer. Then, too, it might rain here Saturday. Augustans are rumoring that the Eisenhowers may be hack here lor Christmas, or at least for a part of the Yuletide holi days. Nothing of that sort from the White House staff as yet. Possibly Mrs. dropped a hint when she went shopping the other day here for such dietetic foods as cottage cheese and skim milk. The first lady told the supermar ket cashier that she wanted what ever trading stamps she had com ing to her. Shortly after a story of Mrs. Eisenhower's shopping trip and her interest in trading stamps ap peared in the local alternoon newspaper, the Augusta Herald, a member of the White House staff was seen carefully stowing away some stamps which he or dinarily would have thrown away. "I'm no fool," this official said. "I didn't know she was interested until I read it in the newspapers." Come to think of it, here's a gift for the girl who has every thing.

WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI - It just is possible that the tears and obit uaries shed and uttered for Re publican conservatives after this month's Congressional elections may have been -premature. The Republican conservatives are down right enough, but not quite out. Consider, (or example- Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., of Massachusetts, will be a candi date again for reelection as House Republican leader. Rep. Charles A. Hallcck IR-Ind.) is talking of opposing Martin for that post. Martin is a conservative. Halleck stands much closer to Eisenhower Modern Republicanism than he does to Martin. The word on Cap itol Hill, however, is that Martin will be reelected. Modern Republicans in the Sen ate want a share in the party leadership there and more than a share if they can get it. They are likely to put one of their own in a new post of assistant leader to be created for their convenience But the new Senate Republican leader to succeed conservative Sen. William F. Knowland o! Cal ifornia most likely will be the con servative choice. Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois. Senate Republicans have an other important spot to fill, the chairmanship of the Senate Re publican Campaign Committee. The man most oiscussed now for that job is Ser.. Barry Goldwatc It-Ariz. I. Goldwater is a conser vative. He is aggressive and he is smart. More significantly, perhaps Goldwater is the chief surviving Republican spokesman for those conservative elements of the party who believe they must meet the political challenge of organized la bor head-on. Goldwater regards the auto workers' Walter P. Reuther as a political menace and says so. right out in. public. Republican policy makers have been strangely rcluc tant to stand up and be counted behind Goldwater in his ruckus with Reuther. Reuther is smart, courageous, articulate and a mas ter of political technique. He's no patsy and Republicans know that whosoever tangles with him is likely to be hurt. Goldwater's charge against Reu ther is, basically, that he condones violence for political purposes. In a speech last spring, the senator cited a document' in support of charges that Reuther had directed the use of force and lunds in ob taining power in Michigan's Dem ocratic party. This document," said Gold- water, "written by a CIO expert named Calkins, tells the story of the growth ot CIO union power within the Democratic, party of Michigan and how the seizure ol the party machinery (irst was de cided upon and carried out. "In 1930. I understand the tra ditional Democrats made a last vain attempt to take back their party from the CIO politicians of Michigan. The Calkins investiga tion shows how this last attempt was smashed by equipping each of the Wayne County i Detroit' district conventions with small squads of men ready lo use force to prevent regular Democrats from regaining power. "The leader of the armed squad which took over the Democratic convention in the 13th district told Calkins he was equipped with six men, 20 clubs and two pistols. By 1930 the treasuries of the CIO unions were supplying about two thirds of all campaign costs of state-wide Democratic candidates in Michigan." That is the nub of Goldwater's story. As campaign chairman he would enjoy a very wide audience for such speeches as that. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal I HAT l S I I &YT THATS CM A f N:v I W. fT n"N I CAS.ii? tip rVVND 1 U-AD WiTi MCMIY! J Lay litfiJ By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API-Vice Pres ident Nixon laid an egg, ostrich- size. He conducted a scare campaign against the Democrats in the 1938 election drive and urged all Re publican candidates or Congress to do the same. It didn't work. The Republicans suffered disaster. This week it was disclosed that Nixon, two weeks before the No vember elections, sent a telegram to all the Republican candidates, giving them advice on how to win and urging them to fight along the lines he suggested.. But, as the elections showed, he had poor insight on how the vote would go and he was wrong in his guess on how to win. His telegram, sent Oct. 19, sug gested the scare .campaign: As far as our opponents are concerned, they offer again noth ing new but a return to the radi cal policies that in 20 years failed to produce prosperity except in war or as a result of war. ... By electing more Democrats the voters are taking a grave risk that their taxes will be raised, prices will skyrocket and unem ployment will increase because of the stifling effect of the anti private enterprise policies of the radical wing of the Democratic party." When Nixon sent his telegram., he had campaigned around the country and knew that various polls were predicting a Democrat ic sweep. But he said in his mes "I am convinced that if we hammer on this line from now to election day we can blitz the oppo sition and shift thousands of votes in close races throughout the country." Perhaps what Nixon said in his telegram and what he thought pri vately were not necessarily the same thing. His office said this week that not long before the elec tions the vice president 1 took a more realistic view of what lay ahead. Nevertheless, in his telegram he said: "As to our prospects, I be lieve that as we enter the last two weeks of the campaign there is no question but that the tide that was running so strongly against us has taken a sharp turn in our favor." But the tide which rolled in on election day almost drowned the Republican party. Nixon urged the Republicans while conducting the scare cam paign he suggested, to wear a kind of Sunny Jim look. "From now on in press confer ences and speeches, all Republi can candidates and spokesmen should radiate optimism and should be on the offensive. There must not be any more defensive. apologetic, defeatist talk." he said. Nixon used rock-'em-sock-'em tactics when he won election to the Senate in 1950 and again when he and President Eisenhower won in 1952 together with their fellow Republicans who that year got control of Congress. But in the three elections since then in 1954, 1956 and again in 1958 all Nixon's tough cam paigning wasn't convincing enougn lo persuade the voters Republi cans should run Congress. In all the elections since 1954 including 1956 when Eisenhower and Nixon won a second term the voters turned (heir backs on the Republicans as a party and gave control of Congress to the Democrats. Perhaps now Nixon, after some self-examination and examination of the results of three elections in a row, may decide lo change his tactics when he seeks II Re publican presidential nomination in 1960, as he almost certainly will (llOfPK United Press International GRAFENWOHR.

AP - Four hundred demonstrating Sons of freedom Doukhobors were dis persed by tear gas bombs Thurs day night as they started what was to be a 53-mile march to New Denver. The Doukhobors, many of them elderly and all wearing their best clothes, were stopped by 15 Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers and told to disperse. ' lhe Doukhobors said they were only celebrating the 57th birthday of their spiritual leader Stefan Sorokin. Ignoring the RCMP or ders, they knelt in the snow. Some prayed, others sang. They held their ground as the mounties tired one tear, gas shell to the edge of their group. Final- y, alter three more shells werei fired, they dispersed and filed slowly back to their homes here. "They can walk to New Denver any rime they feel like it." one RCMP officer said, "but not in a group that covers the highway."

Fisherman Risks His Life To Search For Missing Pal KIN DIES , LONG BEACH. Calif. (API - The late showman Mike Todd's elder brother John Goldin, 69, is dead after an apparent heart at tack at his home here. He suc cumbed Wednesday in a hospital. European-born Goldin had lived here about 20 years and was in the investment business. TWO HARBORS, Minn. (AP) "No fisherman should have gone out on a terrible day like that, said Helmar Aakvik on his hospi tal bed. But Aakvik, at 62 an old man of the seas, did. Coastguardsmen found the Nor wegian-born sailor in his tiny skif live miles onshore Thursday alter he had withstood the fury and cold of a Lake Superior storm for near ly 24 hours. But they found no trace of the man for whom Aakvik braved 25- foot-high seas and gales that loosed a freeling spray on his little boat, creating ice chunks he had to chop away. Carl Hammer. 27, who shared a dock at Hovland, Mnn., with Aakvik, was still missing today. There was little hope he wouid be found. Hammer went out at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday to gather his catch of herring. A friend told Aakvik lat er Hammer could not be seen. "I knew what happened, that he was blown out into the lake," said Hammer. "I had to go look for him." Aakvik was five miles out when his motor failed. A heavy sea hit and filled the boat a quarter full with water. Aakvik bailed and emptied the 16-foot craft. "The wind blew like a demon," said Aakvik. "Ice chunks formed all over the boat and I had to keep chopping with my ax. I got sleepy after a while. It was a great temptation to go to sleep. Just one little nap, I kept telling myselt. "Then I forgot about those thoughts because I knew I was finished if I went to sleep." Aakvik got the motor going at night, came to within five miles of shore, drifted back and came in again Thursday morning. He was within five miles of land when he ran out of gas. The Coast Guard found him there. "I have been in some pretty tough spots in storms on the ocean and here," Aakvik said. "I was grateful but I think I could have made it." He suffered only minor frostbite. NO PROWLER KANSAS CITY (AP) Patrol man James Zimmerman spotted -1 man walking through a used car lot. Thinking he had nailed a prowler, he left his patrol car and started running after the man. The policeman tripped over a chain and went sprawling, suffer ing a sprained knee and skinned hands. The man walked over and gently assisted Zimmerman to his patrol car, meanwhile informing him that he was a painter on his way to work.

Electric heat means not only control of tempera ture, but of humidity, air pollution, and fresh air circulation as well. Electric heat is flexible. Different typet of electric heating equipment are manufactured for different rooms. Your electric heating system should be bought room-by-room for maximum flexibility and control. Each room can (and should) have its individual thermostat. Most people realize that electric heat is the ceoneif heat. It is a scientific fact that the bacteria count drops in most electrically heated homes. Drafts and cold corners are eliminated. Cleon, fresh, dry air circulates properly. Messy flame by-products do not exist. Finally, electric heating equipment, properly chosen and properly installed in well insulated homes, provides economical heat. The original equipment cost is lower than most other types. Maintenance, repair, and cleoning coils are eliminated.
