Dies In His Sleep
By HARRY STATHOS
LONDON (UPI) —Tributes
rom the world’s four corners
>oured In today for former
’rime Minister Earl (Clement)
tttlee, who died in his sleep
Sunday after a bout with
meumonia.
Attlee, Winston Churchill’s
leputy in World War II and the
nan who led the Labor party to
'ictory over Churchill after the
var, had been in London’s
Vestminister Hospital since last
nonth. He was 84.
“His passing is a loss ... to
ill men moved by democratic
deals and the spirit of
reedom,” President Johnson
.aid in a message that
iescribed Attlee as one of the
illlars of the Western alliance
ind a strong defender of
lemocracy and freedom.
Attlee guided Britain to
ecovery trrough the lean and
lifflcult postwar years, and at
the same time presided over its
nost profound social and
economic revolution in a
century.
Guides Welfare System
His government set up a
cradle-to-grave welfare system
and began the process that
turned a mighty empire into a
commonwealth of free nations.
It nationalized key Industries,
transport and communications
and undertook a massive
project to rehouse bombed-out
Britons.
Attlee, shy and scholarly in
appearance, steered what he
described as "a middle course
between dying, decadent capita
lism and arbitrary, misguided
communism.”
“Clem Attlee was one of the
greatest men of our genera
tion,” said Harold Wilson, the
first Labor prime minister since
Attlee.
Wilson said Attlee was “a

Crying, Not Gas,
Real Colic Trouble
By Wayne G. Brandstadt, M.D.
.Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
A mother writes that her 7
. months -old son has had
colic since birth. He cries a
lot ana has a lot of gas. If
he stops crying as soon as he
Is picked up you have to consid
er the possibility that he is
just spoiled. A colicky child will
keep right on crying. Colic is
often an early indication of al
lergy _ usually to cow’s milk.
In such cases a milk substitute
(goat’s milk or soy bean milk)
may solve the problem.
* Excessive gas in the stomach
or intestines causes distress and
makes the colicky baby cry but
the underlying trouble is the
crying, not the gas. The more
he cries, the more air he swal
lows. This can be demonstrated
by watching a baby’s stomach
balloon up under X rays while
he is crying. As a means of
breaking this vicious cycle, an
tispasmodic and mildly sedative
drugs may be given to let the
baby have some rest in comfort.
When not due to allergy, the
baby’s colic may be a reflection
of nervous tension in the mother
but authorities now believe that
this angle has been over
emphasized in the past.
One recent study indicates
that many colicky babies have
a deficiency of progesterone in
their blood. A small dose of
this hormone twice a day for
1 to 10 days may be just what

increasing Soviet aid to the
Communist Hanoi regime.
For the past five days, the
tempo of the air war has been
increased over North Vietnam
with strikes along the Commu
nist Chinese border as well as
near Hanoi and Haiphong.
Tass, the Soviet news agency,
today called the stepped-up
raids “a further extremely
dangerous escalation” of the
war and called President
Johnson’s offer to stop the
bombing “nothing but deceit.”
U.S. headquarters in Saigon

U.S. warplanes shot down in the
past five days. Radio Hanoi
claimed nine were downed

q — My daughter, 12, has
multiple purple veins on her
hips. What causes them? Can
anything be done to get rid
of them?
A— Although the cause of
these venous spiders is not
known, heredity seems to be
a factor. They often appear at
puberty, especially in girls. They
are primarily a cosmetic pro
blem. They are a health problem
only insofar as they are a source
of anxiety, especially in teen
agers. Waterproof masking
cosmetics may be used or a
skin specialist may remove
them with an electric needle.
The trouble with this is that
when you get rid of one batch
another batch may appear.
q _ why would a 4 - year
-old child have to take shots
of vitamin B-12?
A— Since this vitamin is
given for pernicious anemia, and
pernicious anemia is rare in
persons who are under 30, I
know of no reason to give this
vitamin to a child.
..COURTSHIP
Most songbirds do their mat
ing with both feet on the
ground or on a handy perch;
the male prairie chicken
dances and struts before the
female; grouse hiss and make
a loud drumming noise with
their wings; mergansers chase
their mates underwater; bobo
links and meadowlarks sing
and display on the wing.
The fight began Sunday when
a platoon of about 40 men was
hit from two sides by withering
mortar and automatic weapons
fire. Quickly, the Communists
encircled the platoon.
Other Paratroop units in the
area battled their way to the
platoon, charging through Com
munist lines and, according to
the spokesman, “using their
bare knuckles” as well as
knives in some cases.
The fight raged for four
hours. When it was over, and
the North Vietnamese retreated
to hills to the west, the
Paratroopers found 60 Commu
nist bodies. There were 17
Americans killed and four
wounded, an unusually high
ratio of dead over wounded.

High-Ranking Nun
Burns Self To Death
By DANIEL SOUTHERLAND
SAIGON (UM)—A high-rank
ing mm burned herself to death
in an antigovernment protest, it
was announced today. The
dispute she gave her life for
appeared on the verge of
settlement.
The nun was identified as
Thich (venerable) Nu Tri Chon,
50, a leader of the nuns who
follow militant Buddhist Thich
Tri Quang, now in his 12th day
of a sit-in on the lawn outside
the Independence Palace office
of President-elect Nguyen Van
Thieu.
“I am very sorry to learn of
the loss of another life,” Tri
Quang said. “It is a great
misfortune.”
But the militant leader said
he plans to continue his
personal protest until Thieu
gives in and withdraws a
; charter recognizing a more
; moderate faction as South
Vietnam’s official church.
In the latest of a series of
conciliatory letters, Thieu urged
! Buddhist leaders to call off
their struggle, promising that
, their demands would be met
L soon.
Buddhist leaders gave the
letter as their reason for calling
off a march Sunday to Tri
i Quang’s side.
At the same time, however,
’ police threw barbed wire
barricades across all streets
. leading to the palace, and
surrounded pagodas from which
the march was to have started

that no more than 20 monks and

came on the heels of antidemon

Demos Give
Chicago Nod
For Convention
By RAYMOND M. LAHR
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
Democratic National Committee
was meeting today to ratify the
choice of Chicago for the
party’s 1968 national convention.
Chicago was selected over
Miami Beach and Houston,
Tex., during a two-hour meeting
Sunday night of the Democratic
site committee.
The Democratic convention
will open at the International
Amphitheater Aug. 26, ena
bling President Johnson to
open his re-election campaign
the following Monday—Labor
Day.
The Republicans are getting a
three-week Jump on the Deme*
crats, holding their convention
the week of Aug. 5 In Miami
Beach.
The Democrats, who have
held nine previous conventions
in Chicago dating back io 1864,
last met there in 1956,
nominating Adlai E. Stevenson
to oppose President Eisenhower.
Democratic National Chair
man John M. Bailey said
President Johnson left the
choice of the convention city up
to the site committee.
Although all three cities
offered $650,000 in cash plus
other convention services, Chi
cago sweetened its cash offer to
$750,000 before Sunday night’s
meeting.
Bailey said the net worth of
the Chicago bid, Including
services, was $900,000.
David Wilentz, chairman of
the site committee, said Chica
go was chosen for many
reasons including its central
location, which would ease
transportation problems for
many delegates.
