Tiny Island 'Top Secret' In Defense ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) iA tiny Island in a cluster around AUu at the Up of the Aleutian chain shelters an integral part of tho air oefen of the North American continent. The island is Shemya. It houses gigantic Air Force radars and other technical equipment that military authorities regard as "top secret." It is one of the closest U.S. military installations on American soil to Russia. Shemya is more than 1,300 miles from the nearest U.S. Air Force installation in the Alaskan Air Command at King Salmon And it was from King Salmon that U.S. fighter planes streaked into the sky when a Russian plane flew over Alaska territory on March IS. Another Russian plane the same day flew over wa ters regarded "out of bounds" for Soviet planes. Both Russian planes may have been scouting Shemya, Air Force Silent Tlie Air Force says very little about Shemya. Officials of the Alaskan command at Elmendorf Air Force Base are touchy on the subject. Queries are greeted coldly. There is little on the island other than the Air Force station highly secret equipment, Air Force and Army personnel, and a dog or two. There are no women. Part of Shemya's value to the military is in its level topography. There isn't a hill higher than 500 feet above sea level. Because of the relatively level terrain the is land is called a stationary flat top. Planes can get on and off in a variety of foul weather without running the risk of smashing Into unseen mountains. Build Airbase During World War Two, Army Engineers covered the landscape with buildings and roads for a modem airbase operation. Over 1,000 structures went up, linked by a road net 80 miles long. Tho island is about 4V4 miles square. Army Engineers came back In 1937 and in the following year work was feverish. Steel and con crete was used to fashion a dock braced against the enraged Ber ing Sea when it is whipped into frenzied whitocaps by lSO-miie-an-hour gales. Two heavily reinforced radars the size of outdoor movie screens were erected in podiums of con crete Bccauso of the winds, the roots of tho antennas were twice the bulk of the superstructures. Married Woman Taboo For High School Boy Pride Set For Wife LUANDA, Angola (UPII -Chastity counts for more than ex perience when natives in the In terior of this big Portuguese southwest African territory go wife-hunting. A pair of suitors 250 miles in land from this capital town gave t'PI a rundown on prices in the marriage market They said that fathers of a pretty virgin between 16 and 18 years old were asking about 7,000 escudos (S230), On tho otlier hand, a woman who already had been living wilh a man might go as cheaply as 1,000 escudos (SBt. Between these prices, tlwy said, costs varied in accordance with age, beauty and the stroncth of a woman's right arm. a vital asset for tilling the soil. Wife-pricing prevails in the tri bal areas of the interior, where polygamy is still the rule and has dolled all efforts of mission aries and authorities to end it. Polygamy Is not practiced in and around cities. But in the bush the number of wives a man has is his status symbol. A rich man might, per' haps, have threo or four women living with him. Usually one will be his favored companion. Tie ol hers play a supporting role. Inevitably there is competition for likely wives, and the father of a few daughters is a man of influence.

By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I am a high school junior who under took a part-time job which will enable me to save money for college. A certain mar ried woman who works in the shipping depart ment where 1 load trucks has been very nice to me. I think she would like to be a lot nicer and this is my problem. She is supposed to be through work at 6 p.m. but she always hangs around to have a cup of coffee with me. Her husband works the night shift and she says she doesn't have anything to do at home. Yesterday ahe told me I ought to part my hair in the middle and then she took her comb out of her purse and started comb ing. She got so close to me she steamed up my glasses. I like her, Ann, but I don t want to get mixed up with a married woman. She has pull with the boss and I can't take a chance on hurting her feelings. Please tell me what to do-.NO JOKE Dear No Joke: Tell that ship ping room Cleopatra you think she la charming but married women are strictly out of bounds. Then part your hair on the side, Buster. Dear Ann Landers: I am furi ous with the mouier ol tnose eight children who wrote she could scream when she sees someone on the porch with a box of hand-me-down clothes. The woman may sneak for her self, but she certainly does not speak for me. I have seven chil dren. My husband has a good job, as hers does. We are not wealthy either jut comfortable. Our friends and relatives have been bringing us hand - me- downs ever since the children were babies. It's been a great help. 1 ve never considered hand-me- downs an expression of pity. They are gifts of good will from peo ple who like and respect us. The children's attitudes are extreme ly healthy. They have never been too proud to wear second hand clothes. They actually ar gue about who is going to get what. So, please, Ann Landers, make it plain that some of us love to see those boxes. Humility is not an altogether extinct virtue. GRATEFUL Dear (irutefuli You made it plain and I thank you. Dear Ann Landers: I have a touchy problem which revolves around a headstrong boss and his irritating habit of bumming cigarettes. Mr. H. is under doctor's orders. He is not supposed to smoke so lie doesn't buy any. His son works in the office and has asked me to let him know at once if I see his fulher smoking. If Air. H. spots a pack of cig arettes on my desk he takes one. When I am away from my desk he goes into the top drawer and helps himself. Whenever he sees me smoking he asks for a cig arette. Yesterday when he asked for a cigarette I reminded him that the doctor said he should not smoke. He told me to mind my own business that I was paid to work and not to lecture him about his health. lie bums from eight to 10 cig arettes from me every day and I am sick of it. Please don't tell me to stop 6moking. I enjoy it. What I need is a solution to the problcm.-UP IN SMOKE Dear L'p: The first thing In the morning, hand over your pack of cigarettes to the boss' spn When you want a cigarette ask him for one. The boss will see no cigarettes on your desk, nor will he find any cigarettes In your desk draw er. When he sees you smoking and asks for a cigarette refer him to his son.

(UPI) -Mothers can protect their babies from the danger of contaminated food by checking for signs that baby jars have been opened before buying. "Experience shows that some people, unaware of, or indiffer ent to, the dangers of bacterial contamination, open jars of baby food in the store, sometimes taste the contents, and return them to the shelves," reports the Ameri can Academy of Pediatrics' committee on nutrition. Two types of safety features on screw caps will reveal whether the jar has been opened or has lost its vacuum. A flexible button in the center of tlie cap should be depressed, as if it had been sucked in by the vacuum in the jar. If the vacuum is lost, the button pops up and can be pressed up and down with the finger.

I PARIS i UPI I - President Charles de Gaulle has Frenchmen guessing furiously about his successor. But he has done nothing to answer the questions his fellow- countrymen are asking: Will De Gaulle run for a sec ond term? If he doesn't, whom will he endorse? De Gaulle touched off presiden tial speculation by tossing the Horticulturists say the longer grapes stay on the vine the more flavor they have. problem of his successor into his speeches during his meet-the-peo- ple tour of southwestern France. Almost casually, he reminded his audiences that he would not be around forever. He made it clear he hopes his successor will be a man pledged to carry on the work of his "strongman" Fifth Repub But De Gaulle never drops cas ual remarks without significance. wnen he started the national guessing game, he did so quite deliberately. One theory put forward by the French press was that he plans to quit ahead of time and to en sure that a loyal Gaullist is in stalled as president while he is still around to advise from be hind the scenes. A more likely theory seems to be that De Gaulle simply is launch ing a long-term campaign to con vince the nation's voters that his successor should be the man with his endorsement rather than FALSE TEETH SECRET DISCOVERED! marunSi"ut Tha Ment JCffWiir.
