Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
The market still is in the
grips of a "last gasp rally"
with a noticeable absence of
upside leadership, says the
Dines Letter. “Even if it is a
bull market, it is still too soon
to buy because one cannot be
certain which group will be
leader," it continues. The letter
advises investors that making
money in the market in the
next few weeks will be difficult
and many could suffer losses.

WASHINGTON - The
Watergate prosecutors have
been investigating, of all
groups, the American Legion
on suspicion that the White
House used legionnaires to
stand up to left-wing demon
strators.
To the bewilderment of
National Adjutant William
Hauck, who has been a deter-
minedly nonpartisan friend
of presidents since 1952. he
was called in for interroga-
tion by the prosecutors.
Hauck duly appeared
before a stern, young lawyer
named Nick Ackerman who.
ironically, won the American
Legion "Voice of Democra-
cy" award at high school in
1965. Ackerman wanted to
know whether the White
House had tried to get the
legion to bus in members for
the funeral of J. Edgar
Hoover
The prosecutors ap-
parently thought the White
House tried to recruit legion-
naires to square off with left-
wing demonstrators at the
funeral, thereby stirring up
sentiment against President
Nixon's enemies on the left.
It's known that the Cuban
Watergate burglary team
was sent to squabble with the
demonstrators.
The long-suffering Hauck
was also interrogated about
the legion's history and its
stand on the Pentagon Papers
case. He was even questioned,
astonishingly, about the
White House tapes

School doors opening
to learning disabled
According to the I S Office of Education, more than 4 5
million school-age children sutler from some form ot handi
cap that affects their capacity to use or understand
language
These handicaps range from minor learning disabilities to
aphasia, the impairment of loss of language faculties. and
dyslexia, the impairment of the abilits to read due to brain
delects.
W ithout the ability to grasp the basic tools of language a
Childs future academic success - and social development
- will almost invariably be seriously jeopardized, points
out George Stern, president ol Monterey Learning systems,
one of the nation s pioneers in special education programs
for learning-disabled children
Yet up to only a few years ago, such children were ex
pelled or virtually excluded from public schools Then
education was considered a privilege rather than a right
and the responsibility ol their parents rather than ol societ)
Then in 1970, efforts to integrate learning-disabled and
handicapped children into the mainstream of public educa
tion reached a climax when parents in Pennsyivania took
legal action They actually sued the state to provide educa
tional services - within the public school sysiem - (or their
children, regardless of the severity of their handicaps
in a landmark federal district court decision, a consent
decree was issued which mandated Pennsylvania to provide
special education programs and services lor handicapped
children This mandate - and more significantly. Pennsyl-
vania’s response to it - has set a precedent that is being fol-
lowed in school districts across the country
The Pennsylvania project is the largest educational pro-
gram for learning-disabled children in the nation it was de-
veloped by Monterey Learning Systems through research
conducted by the Behavioral Sciences Institute, a nonprofit
educational research and therapy organization More than
29 school districts covering the entire state and more than
1.000 speech and hearing personnel are involved in the proj-
ect.
Parents in other states are following the example of then-
counterparts in Pennsylvania As a result, at least a dozen
similar consent decrees have been issued by federal courts
across the country and educators in some 30 states have
chosen to integrate Monterey's program into their public
school systems
Consideration for cash customers
Strange to relate in this day of the ubiquitous credit card,
some people still prefer to use cash in their everyday busi-
ness transactions. Peculiar as this habit may be, they should
not be penalized for it, contends at least one consumer group
Or to put it another way , merchants who accept credit
cards should be allowed to give discounts to cash customers
This is the brunt of a suit that has been filed in U.S. District
Court in Washington, D.C., by Consumers Union The
organization wants the court to outlaw provisions in credit
card contracts that bar merchants from offering such cash
discounts.
The suit argues that merchants honoring the cards must
absorb what amounts to a service charge of from 2 to 8 per
cent of the sales price - which, of course, is tacked onto the
sales price - and that they should be permitted to offer an
equivalent cash discount to customers who pay cash and thus
save them the service charge.
If the suit is successful, that green stuff we used to carry in
our pockets could become fashionable again

"The keystone of the Ameri-

competitive access to capital at
reasonable rates, has been
critically weakened by the
Federal Reserve Board’s per-
sistent five-year effort to
'control' inflation by restricting
the money supply,” according
to Wright Investors' Service, a
Bridgeport, Conn. firm. It says
today's "real'' gross national
product needs only 7 per cent
more dollars to finance it than
a year ago. The Fed has
ignored this fact, the firm
argues, "in the face of an
accelerating decline in employ-
ment and consumer purchasing

The four generations of
Americans who have been
steeped in the sayings of
Coolidge will have no trouble
recognizing that every' second
utterance above fell from the
lips of our 30th President.
How would we feel were we
confronted with posters, bill-
boards and bumperstickers
reviling Coolidge as an enemy
of the people and an all-around
nogood nik?
Bewildered, to say the least.
Implicit in the attack on
Confucius is a message to the
Chinese people that all of the
sage's sayings are now
inoperative.
If you can picture the sayings
of Coolidge going down the
philosophical drain, you can
emphathize with the Chinese
during the anti-Confucius cam-
paign.
It must be a difficult
readjustment, comparable to
our being told that unemploy-
ment has no connection with
being out of work.
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Strange things are happening in
China again.
In a move somewhat reminis-
cent of the Cultural Revolution
a few years ago, the Peking
regime has undertaken a
massive campaign to discredit
Confucius.
Everywhere the people turn,
it is said, they encounter anti-
Confucius posters and other
critical material.
To understand the impact this
has on the Chinese, try to
imagine what it would be like if
the U.S government suddenly
began an intensive drive to
discredit Calvin Coolidge.
Coolidge, of course, has not
been dead as long as Confucius,
who expired some 2,000 years
ago. Therefore, it might even
lie said the two statesmen-
philosophers are separated by a
good-sized generation gap.
Nevertheless, the sayings of
Coolidge are the closest thing
we have in America to the
sayings of Confucius with
respect to their influence on the
nation’s political morality.
Quoted below are a few of the
sayings of each. See if you can
guess which is Confucius and
which is Coolidge.
"The truly virtuous man in
desiring success for himself
strives to help others succeed."
Economy is idealism in its
most practical form."

Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Arthur Burns' recent
omments on interest rates
created a turnabout in the short
term money market and sent
commercial paper and most
other instruments sharply high-
er. according to Short Term
Money Memo The Baltimore,
Md. letter says in the coming
week it expects "a continued
firming of rates as market
forces struggle toward a
temporary equilibrium in the
vicinity of the trading ranges
currently in effect." Uncertain-
ties in the money market may
cause most banks to delay
dropping the prime to 812 per
cent as one New York bank
has, it adds.
DEAR DR LAMB - I am
55 and have been a heart pa-
tient for the past year. I take
Coumadin and other
medicines. I walk a mile a
day and do my housework.
A year ago [ weighted 155
pounds, now 140 pounds. I
have to limit myself to 1000
calories per day to control
my weight. What I need to
know is. how many of these
should be protein. carbohydr-
ates and fat" I know I have to
keep the fat low, but, I'm
afraid I'm getting too much
carbohydrate. I drink three
glasses of one per cent skim
milk a day and eat very few
starchy foods. My carbohydr-
ates come from vegetables,
fruit, cereals, skim milk and
one slice of bread a day.
DEAR READER - You
are getting over 150 calories
of protein, or about 40 grams,
from your skim milk. The
new 1973 Recommended
Daily Dietary Allowances
(from the National Research
Council) for women over 51 is
only 46 grams a day. So. you
can see that you are getting
about all the protein you need
from the milk alone. I would
think, though, that you should
get some additional protein
from other sources, including
some lean fish, poultry and
meat in general, though, I
would guess you are already
getting enough protein.
The new values for protein
requirements have actually
been lowered on the basis of
the most current research
I’m inclined to think that
when you are trying to con-
trol your weight, it is wise to
have a little more protein,
but, otherwise. apparently
most normal adults don't
need more than 60 grams
daily (240 calories of protein).
The rest of your calories
can. and should, come from
carbohydrates and a limited
amount of fat. Vegetables,
fruit, and cereal are fine
foods I would hope that your
condition will permit you to
be a little more active and a
little less restrictive on your
calories intake A 1000 calo-
ries a day diet for a
prolonged time is a marginal
intake. I don't recommend
this except under a doctor's
supervision.
For more information on
keeping a balanced diet

newspaper. P.O Box 1551.

DEAR DR LAMB -
Kindly tell me what causes
the pressure when one has
glaucoma" My doctor said no
cataract I am 75 He told me
to use eye drops Could there
be cancer" Should I follow' a
diet"'
DEAR READER - The
eye normally produces a cer-
tain amount of fluid inside
the eyeball all the time it
should gradually seep out
The balance between the
amount of fluid formed and
the amount that is leaked out
determines how much pres-
sure is inside the eye
Some people have a defect
in the normal drainage
mechanism from the eye it
can be caused by many
different things This causes
the pressure to increase and
results in glaucoma You do
not need to have cataracts to
have glaucoma They are not
the same thing
Anyone who has glaucoma
should follow his doctor s ad
vice to the letter it can make
the difference tietween keep-
ing your sight and losing it
No. glaucoma is not caused
by cancer.
he was “dumbfounded" at the
questioning. Nevertheless, he
patiently denied that the
White House had contacted
the legion about the Hoover
funeral or meddled in legion
policies.
He also checked with other
top legionnaires and wrote a
private letter to Ackerman,
stating they also had received
no call "urging the influx of
busloads of American
Legionnaires to attend Mr.
Hoover’s funeral"
At the Watergate Special
Prosecutor’s office, a spokes-
man said it was "absolutely
wrong" to say the legion was
under investigation "We
have asked many patriotic
Americans to cooperate with
us and regret very much that
anyone would assume this
meant we were investigating
them," said the spokesman. 1
The spokesman’s definition
of investigation differs with
the dictionary definition and
the impression left on the
legion.
Battle For Burma: Tough
Chinese Communist guer- (
rillas are attacking settle-
ments in remote mountains
of neutralist Burma
As described by in-
telligence reports from the
battle zone, the Chinese are
led by officers in close touch
with Peking.
Their thrusts into the hills *
and towns of northern Burma
threaten not only Burma but
Thailand, which has close
military ties with the United
States There are no reports,
however, that American
special forces in Thailand
have intervened in the
spreading conflict.
The transcript of an
unusual Morse radio
transmission from the north-
ern Shan states of Burma
tells of powerful Communist
action against Shan opium
armies and troops of the
“KMT (Taiwan)," a Chinese
Kuomintang force in Burma.
Relayed by Shan rebel
army transmitters, the
message says: “CPB (Com-
munist Party, Burma) attack
KMT (Taiwan) in Mong Sang
on Jan. 21. 1974, 0500
hours....15 KMT killed and
many wounded." The
message claims many wea-
pons were seized by the Com-
munists.
A second message reports:
"CPB occupied Mong ,
Sang Shan United Army (a
rebel anti-Communist group)
and KMT (Taiwan) re-
treated " More clashes bet-
ween the Communists and
the Shan armies have been
reported in the wireless
transmissions of Hpa Heing,
Chiang Lam. Om Tung, Kat
Lof and Wan Ho Nar.
From other intelligence
sources, we have learned
that the Communists now
threaten the Burmese dis-
trict capital of Keng Tung
and may control the only road
connecting it with the rest of
Burma
Another message claims
that the Chinese guerrillas
probably hold “most of the
area between the Nam Pang
river and the Salween area"
- a huge tract of misty
mountains and deep gorges in
northern Burma
Rep. Lester Wolff, D-N Y .
chairman of the House Inter-
national Narcotics subcom-
mittee. has established con-
tacts with the Shan army to
keep abreast of the opium
trade. He has learned that the
Chinese military moves may
jeopardize his efforts to free
two Russian doctors, who
were kidnapped by Shan
rebels from a Soviet mercy
mission to Burma
The Russians have secretly
asked Wolffs help in getting
the doctors back To Wolffs
astonishment. he was called
from a sick bed to meet with a
Soviet diplomat on the mat-
ter. Wolff promised to do
what he could
The congressman has used
his contacts to seek the doc-
tors’ relief The intermedi-
aries. as a gesture, tried to
smuggle two bottles of vodka
to them via caravan routes
into northern Burma The
vodka, Wolff has learned, was
intercepted But he has
received unconfirmed re-
ports that one of the doctors
has now been sent southward
in a jade caravan to freedom
The other, as far as can be
determined, remains in Shan
rebel hands without his
vodka He is being held
hostage as part of a bizarre
scheme to get talks going on
Shan independence from
Burma
