Protection? Yes,
Effective on and after Dec. 31, 1971, all new eye-
glasses and sunglasses sold in the U.S. must be JdM)r
with lenses of heaNtreated glass or other impact-
resistant material.
Exempted under the Food and Drug Administration
ruling are contact lenses, which already are normally
made of impact-resistant plastic, and glasses
prescribed in cases whore an eye doctor finds that
impact-resistant lenses will not meet the visual
requirements of a particular patient.
The new regulation is a praiseworthy step toward
eliminating one avoidable safety hazard in our daily
lives. An estimated 100 million Americans wear pre-
scription glasses, with three-quarters of them using
lenses of untreated glass.
There ts a cavtat, however, BauKSlTomb, one of
the original promoters of the idea and developer of an
improved heat-treating process, warns that "impact-
resistant” does not mean "breakproof.”
The prescription glasses you buy after Dec. 31 will be
stronger than they would have been before*
technically, they must be able to withstand the impact
of a five-eighths of an inch steel ball dropped from a
height of 50 inches-but they will not be the same as
industrial safety glasses.
Persons whose occupations or hobbies put their eyes
in unusual hazard are still advised to wear safety
glasses and —or protective goggles.

The biggest educational snergasbord in Ameri-
ca” is getting under way in Berkeley, Calif., reports
Education USA.
With the help of& $3.6-million grant from the U.S. Of-
fice of Education, Berkeley schools will conduct a 212-
year experiment in offering 24 different educational
"alternatives.” By the time the program is in full
swing next fall, about 5,000 of the city’s 15,000 students
“will be able to choose from an almost bewildering as-
sortment of school options,” says the publication.
If a student wants to attend a small, all-black school,
for instance, he can go to Black House. If he wants a
Chicano-oriented school, he can go to Casa de la Raza.
If he prefers a multicultural approach, he can go to
Franklin Multicultural. Or he may want to join On Tar-
get. a cooperative program between industry and
school.
Other ideas to be tested include a school with student
direction, a parent cooperative school, a neighborhood
open school, a school-without-walls, a child develop-

U.S., Soviet Collision In
Bay Of Bengal Is Possible
By ERNEST CUNEO
■ WASHINGTON - Thu dam-
nation of Mn. Richard Nixon
u the representative of the
U.S. at the Inauguration of the
Hon. William R. Tolbert Jr.,aa
President of Liberia next Jan-
uary, ii recognition of. more
than a century and a half of
happy relations between our
two peoples.
In fact, the naming of the
American First Lady herself is
by way of a personal tribute by
President Nixon to Liberia's
greatest President, the late
William Vacanarat Shadrach
Tubman.
President Tubman died last
July at age 75. He had been I
president of such vigor for 21
years that it was widely pre-
dicted that the chaotic condi-
tions prevailing‘throughout
Africa would result in turbu-
lence in Liberia when Presi-
dent Tubman was gone.
Nothing of the kind happen-
ed. Quite the contrary, if, as
has been said, the true mea-
sure of a statesman is the pre-
paration for his succession,
President Tubman has met the
test well. Even as he dominat-
ed the scene, ‘‘Uncle Shad” -
as 1» was affectionately frMwn
to his people-had at his elbow
his heir-apparent and succes-
sor, Vice President wyjlam K.
Tolbert Jr.
Under the circumstances of
Arab disillusionment with the
Soviets, the paroxysms of
Apartheid in South Africa and
the violent coupe and attempt-
ed coups in Morocco, Ubya and
Sudan, the profound aatlsfac-
tion in Washington because of
the smooth transition in Lib-
eria is deep Indeed.
The official and persona! ap
predation of this is reflected in
the selection of the First Lady
of the U.S. herself as the Presi-
dent's and the American Re-
public’s representative at the
Inaugural ceremonies of Presi-
dent Tolbert
Parenthetically, the greatest
of h"pe<t are entertained in
Washington for a continuation
of perhaps the most outstand-
ing and enduring of U.S. diplo-
matic successes, at a time
when a general sense of failure
seems to have swept both State
Department and Capitol Hill.
But nosmall part of this suc-
cess was due to the unfailing
friendship and diplomatic ex-
parties of the late President
William Tubman in the most
difficult and turbulent times of
Africa’s history. These condi-
tions continue - and it says
much for President Tolbert
that Washington has complete
confidence that his enormous
abilities are quite equal to the
continuing African crises. »‘ -

DR. LAWRtNCt £. LAMB
Nitroglycerin Pills
And Heart Disease
Dear Dr. Lamb—In your
column, you talked, about
nitroglycerin tablets, uses
and cautions. You stated that
it should not be taken if a
heart attack is coming on
because it then could cause
shock and death.
A month ago, my father
died of a heart attack. Writ-
ten on the certificate was
myocardial infarction as
the cause of death.
My father started feeling
poorly on Thursday evening
and between that night and
Friday night when he died,
he took four nitroglycerin
He had been taking them
for a few years, especially
for walking. But he ran out
and called his doctor and she
prescribed them over the
phone that night.
Needless to say, I am very
upset and realize that those
four pills most likely killed
him. He might have sur-
vived the heart attack as he
had previously. But certain-
ly not after four pills.
My question is hpw do I
find out more about this and
do you advise me question-
having trouble. That makes
a great deal of difference.
Obviously, from your letter
he had been having angina
(chest pains) for several
years and had been able to
[prevent pain, when walking
and probably relieve pain by
tifkinp nitroglycerin tablets.
This is quite a different sit-
uation than if he had not
been having,, trouble for
months or years and'then
developed chest pain.
Since he had been taking
nitroglycerin regularly, your
father's doctor quite broper-
lv prescribed a refill of his
prescription. Now four nitro-
glycerin tablets over a 24-
hour period is not an un-
usually laree dose.
It is doubtful if anvthing
could have been done that
would have prevented the
loss of your father—since he
obviously had fairly severe
heart disease of long dura-
tion if he had been taking
nitro tablets to walk. It is
Dossible that he was lulled
into a false sense of security
from past relief with nitro-
glycerin and didn’t call his
doctor back wheiTbe didn’t
get reM.
WASHINGTON - A
dangerous confrontation Is
developing between Soviet
and American naval forces in
the Bay of Bengal.
President Nixon has ordered
a naval task force into those
troubled waters as a restraint
upon India. Now heading for
the Bay of Bengal are the
aircraft carrier Enterprise,
amphibious assault ship
Tripoli, guided missile frigate
King, and guided missile
destroyers Parsons, Decatur
and Tartar Sam. -
At the same time, Soviet
naval ships have been spotted
steaming into the Bay of
Bengal ostensibly to bolster
India. ■ v_ . •
Even more ominous, intel-
ligence reports are that Soviet
technicians are aboard India
v naval craftJhat have attacked. _
Pakistani harbor and shore in-
stallations. U.S., British and

The Pakistani Navy haf
urgently requested U.S. help
in determining whether the
rickets could have been
launched from a Soviet sub-
• marine.
Inside the White House,
meanwhile, the President has
made no attempt to hide his
favoritism for Pakistan. He u
has developed a close personal
relationship with Pakistan’s
President Yahya Khan.
Nixon, accordingly, has
ordered his crisis team, known
formally as the Washington
Special Action zgroup, to find
ways short of direct interven-
tion to help Pakistan. The hush-
hush group, headed by presi-
dential policymaker Henry
Kissinger, has been meeting
almost daily in the White
Room since the Indian-Pakis-
tani outbreak.
AT THE Dec. 3 meeting Kiss-
inger snorted: “I’m getting
hell every half hour from the
President that we're not being
tough enough on India. He has
just called me again. He
doesn’t believe we’re carrying
out his wishes. He wants to tilt
in favor of Pakistan. He feels
economic steps could be taken
against India but that similar
moves against Pakistan should
be announced as ‘‘under re-
view.”______ .
It’s hard to tilt toward
Pakistan," grumped Kiss-
inger, “if we have to match
every Indian step with a
Pakistan step.”
otherwise.
Adm. Thomas Moorer,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, reviewed the military
situation. CIA chief Richard
Helms also reported what his
agents had found out about the
fighting. Then Kissinger
brought up the United Nations. ;
"If the UN can’t operate in
this kind of situation effec-
tively,” he growled, “its utility
has come to an end, and it is
^ useless to think of UN
’ guarantees in the Middle
East.” -
"We’ll have a recommenda-
tion for you this afternoon,”
promised Assistant State Sec-
retary Joseph Sisco.
"We have to take action,"
pressed Kissinger, “The Presi-
dent is blaiining me; but you
people are in the clear.”
"That’s ideal!” retorted
Sisco cheerily.
There was discussion about a
statement that had been pre-
pared for Ambassador George
Bush to deliver at the UN.
Kissinger thought it was “too
evenhanded” and ought to be
tougher on India.
To maintain a diplomatic
balance, Sisco suggested that
AT THE NEXT secret meeting
on Dec. 4, Kissinger reported
that the President was still
fuming over the gentle treat-
mentU3T
giving India.
“The President is under the
‘illusion’ that he is giving in-
structions,” said Kissinger,
"not that he is merely being
kept apprised of affairs as they „
progress.”
Nixon, meanwhile) has
disregarded several secret, :
urgent appeals«from Kenneth
Keating, the American ArAbas-
sadpr in New Delhi, that the
U.S. should be careful not to
alienate India.
THOROUGHLY familiar with
every phase of the Liberian
government and its people, a
considerable part of the
smooth transition is due to the
personality of Tolbert himself.
A thoroughly seasoned and
responsible diplomat, Tolbert
is also a firm administrator of
wide experience. In private
life, he has been an extremely
successful businessman; as a
gentleman farmer, his agricul-
tural ventures are models of
modem methods.
The new President is of a
more reserved nature than was
President Tubman, but, para-
doxically much less formal in
style; President Tubman was a
stickler for protocol. Fifty-
eight years of age, President
Tolbert is abstemious in habit;
he is, in fact, a teetotaler who
