A Call To Return
To Folk Wisdom
Letters To The Editor
What American middle-class women need to help cut
their maternal anxieties is more folk wisdom and less
to do with specialists, according to a Harvard Univer-
sity researcher.
When pediatricians, for example? are consulted
about problems not strictly medical, they can only
make educated guesses — actually passing along their
own folk wisdom, says Mrs. Beatrice B. Whiting, a lec-
turer on education at Harvard’s Graduate School of
Education.
“Since we are in essence depending on folk wisdom
in many situations, why. notiransmit it in an efficient
way? Perhaps the one universal bit of folk wisdom
which we have forgotten in our'period of rapid change
is the importance of teaching individuals when they
are preadolescent how to care for babies and tod-
dlers,” she says. . • '
Mrs. Whiting, who has worked with Kenyan students
at the Child Development Research Unit in Nairobi,
notes that those youngsters have grown up in large
families and in homesteads where they served their
turns as child nurses..“Their experience,”-she says,
“seems to protect them from the guilt and anxiety
which prevails among middle-class American
mothers.” -
Middle-class American mothers are doubly handi-
capped because most of them are far away from their
own parents and they probably did not have any early -
experience, fn caring for young children.
‘ Mrs. Whiting says that the increased use of young
people as helpers in day-care centers is an encouraging
sign, for these youngsters will gain experience with
children. W’omen’s lib is another hopeful trend because
young women will get advice and reassurance from
each other.

Editor, The Sun
Dear Sir:
Who, in the name of demo-
cracy, could condone this sort
of thing?
BULLETIN
HOUSTON (sp)—Harris
County Commissioners Court
passed a resolution by a 3-2*
vote Monday calling on offi-
cials of the county’s Demo-
crat and Republican parties
to consider a “straw vote’’
for President in the May pri-
maries.
The resolution was passed
over the vehement opposition
of Nancy Palm, chairman of
the Harris County Republican
Executive Committee. She
questioned the court’s right to
inject into the political process.
“Mrs. Palm, if you are not
capable of understanding what
is happening, it is not our
fault,” Judge Bill Elliott said.
“We have some responsibility
in this matter and we’re obli-
gated to work with party lead-
ers like yourself — regretful-
ly.”
The above lines are verbatim
but somewhat out of context
from those appearing in The
Sun, but the whole bulletin
Sun was out of context relating
to all that transpired at the
meeting. The nasty remarks of
the honorable judge was most
certainly verbatim.
Regardless of the latitude
which the honorable Judge en-
joys under the Constitution of
Texas, does he not know that
his duty is to execute (I do not
mean “put to death) Constitu-
tional as well as the legislative
statutes of Texas and most cer-
tainly not delete, add to, or
otherwise change the statqtes
as legislated.
Let us not be fooled by any
statement that says he has
these powers under the State
Election Code. We have no
bonafide election code. If this
statement is in error, will
someone please produce a
legally valid election code? Do
not try to use Vernon’s Anno-
tated Statute of Texas Election
Code, Vol. 9.
We are warned in many
places not to use the texf as ab- \
solute law because it is subject
to change by the attorney gen-
eral at any time. At best, Vol. 9
is suitable for court rooms use
only.

Skipped Heart Beat
Is Fairly Common
Dear Dr. Lamb-I am a
38-yea‘r-pld woman who, de-
veloped a-heaft beat irregu-,
laritv last month. I could
"best describe it as a skipped
'beat', followed by a very
•hard thump. This occurs
more or less constantly
throughout the day. although
sometimes it does not occur
for several hours.
My doctor did a heart
tracing last month but while
I was "hooked up" there was
no thump. He says the prob-
lem is most likely msignifi-
cant and not to worry but I
,continue to feel the. thump-

; right thing and now that you
have had an examination
you might try to forget it. I
know' that' is asking a lot. If
you can't and it .still bothers
you a great deal, go back to
your doctor and he May give .
you some medicine that de-
creases the irritability of the'
Heart and decreases or elim-
inates the thumping.

usually asks a person'with
your problem to. eliminate
his accounts. Noah Dietrich,
who then directed the day-to-
day operations of Hughes’s
empire, complained that Don-
ald had gone through the mon-
ey without paying off important
cerditors.
But it was too late. Donald’s
restaurants went bankrupt,
and the Nixonburger was lost
to mankind.
The story of the $205,000 loan
leaked out during Richard Nix-
on’s 1960 campaign for the
presidency, causing him politi-
cal pain. ’ After , he finally
. / reached the White House eight.
.........years later, he asked Ehrlich-
« man'to oversee Donald’s acti-
vities and to prevent, if aCipE
^ possible, any new embarrass-
ments.
At one time, Donald incor-
-•• porated htfflsetf and Degair "

might have an interest in his
blood line. Ehrlichman ex-
plained gently to Donald that
such ventures could embarrass,
his brother and that, for his
brother’s sake, he should avojd.
deals that might reflect unfa-
vorably on the President.
Not long afterward, Donald
began dickering with John Hill,
a Boston manufacturer of play-
ground equipment, who wanted
the government to consider in-
tailing his products in urban
riot areas. iM told us Donald
Bill to the White House for an
audience with the President.
Marriott had been chairman of
the Nixon inaugural and is
trusted by the President.
Delicately, the President
asked the Marriptts to keep his
brother out of trouble, “I want
to be sure that Don has no deal-
ings with the; federal govern-
ment,” said the President. “I
want to be sure that Don is
never asked to do anything that
would embarrass this office.”
Then the President added as,
an afterthought: “Don is the
best salesman in the Nixon
family.”*
THE GREEKS, whose military
government is unpopular in the
U.S., rolled out the red carpet
for the President’s brother.
Tom Pappas, a big Republican
money raiser with oil interests
in Greece, threw a lavish din-
ner for Donald in Athens and
.....mwtedmembers ofthe Greek *
• military junta, And Onassis,
the husband of the widow of the
man who defeated Richard
Nixon for President in 1960,
sent long-stemmed roses to
"Oondd’s hatd room;;'
Washington whispers that
Donald used his White House
influence to get catering con-
tracts for Marriott with Ameri-
can Airlines and TWA, we have
established, are strictly un- .
true.
Ehrlichman also gave Don-
ald's son, Donald Jr., a lecture
before the boy went to Switzer-
land last summer to work for
International Controls. The
company has now transferred
young Nixon to die Bahamas.
His father, talking to a few
visitors, including my asso-
couple of hours and told him to
behave himself over there. You
know, he told him he was the
President’s nephew and
couldn’t do anything to embar-
rass the President.”
Footnote: The Los Angeles
Times has now delved into the
Howard Hughes Medical Insti-
tute. They reported, as we did a
week ago, the strange coinci- '
dence between the Institute’s
tax exemption and the Hughes
loan to Don Nixon only two-
and-a-half months before.
Actually, it.was a young Los
Angeles radio newsman, Leo

The comedy hour began

two embarked on what they
claimed was pure, original

claim authorship anyway but
the girls say they made these

"Because they’d look pretty
silly walking.”
"Know how to- make your

No.

Oswald: "The contract'is"
a good-one. South should win
the first spade because, if he

to diamonds. Then if he

with the ace of hearts and
South will only come to eight
