Talk threatens
campaign vote
By GENE POYTHRESS
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
lengthy filibuster in the Senate
against campaign finance re
form legislation faces Congress
in its push toward Easter
recess beginning Thursday.
The bill for public financing
of federal election campaigns,
designed to end undue partici
pation by special interest
groups in national campaigns,
is up for a second cloture vote
Tuesday.
Cloture, the Senate gag rule,
would shorten the filibuster
opponents of the measure have
waged the past three weeks.
But more than 80 amendments
already introduced must still be
debated and voted upon.
The first cloture motion by
proponents of public financing
failed by four votes last
Thursday.
The Senate is scheduled today
to take up an amendment by
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-
Minn., to make federal election
day a national holiday. He said
it was aimed at reducing heavy
absenteeism in U.S. elections.
Besides Humphrey’s amend
ment, the Senate also will
consider one by Sen. Herman
Talmadge, D-Ga., making it
illegal to knowingly publish
false or defamatory statements
about a candidate for federal
office.
The bill for public financing
of federal elections would
earmark from the Treasury a
campaign fund for each candi
date of a major party
equivalent to 15 cents per
eligible voter in general elec
tions.
Opponents of the concept
maintain it would amount to “a
raid on the Treasury.”
On Tuesday, the House will
consider a resolution introduced
by Rep. Michael Harrington, D-
Mass., and Rep. Fortney H.
“Pete” Stark, D-Calif., seeking
information from Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger about the
full-scale military alert ordered
by President Nixon during the
Middle East War in October.
Nixon was criticized in some
quarters for overreacting when
he placed all U.S. military
forces on standby. The action
nearly brought the United
States into direct confrontation
with the Soviet Union, critics
said.

studies
damage
CAMP DAVID, Md. (UPI) -
President Nixon, back from a
busy weekend in Paris and a
Sunday night rest at his Camp
David mountain retreat, was
expected to return to Washing
ton today to cope with tornado
damage problems and another
Watergate decision.
The President was expected
to meet with James T. Lynn,
Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development, and Fed
eral Disaster Assistance Ad
ministrator Thomas P. Dunne
to review government help to
areas in the South and Midwest
ravaged last week by tornado
es.
Tuesday, Nixon must respond
to the House Judiciary Commit
tee request for documents and
tapes of conversations in its
investigation of the alleged
cover-up of the Watergate
breakin. There’s a threat of
subpoena if he does not
voluntarily surrender the mate
rial.
The President will campaign
in Michigan’s Bth Congressional
District Wednesday in behalf of
the GOP candidate James
Sparling. There was some
indication he might leave
Tuesday for Saginaw.
Nixon returned from Paris
Sunday optimistic the summit
talks in Moscow in late June
will produce substantial agree
ment on limitiing offensive
nuclear weapons.

What determines
amount of hair
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB -
Please settle a disagreement
between my friend and me. I
say that if a person shaves or
removes hair with a
depilatory then the hair
doesn’t grow back in a
greater amount or darker in
color. I think that it only
looks darker because it
hasn’t been bleached by the
sun yet and that is why it
looks darker.
DEAR READER - The
number of hairs depends en
tirely on the number of ac
tive hair follicles within the
skin. The follicle is like the
root to a blade of grass. You
can cut the top off and the
root will allow more grass, or
hair, to grow right back.
The stub of hair is tougher,
and a shaved area will give
that bristle-feel to touch. If
you ever walked over some
cut grass stubble or stubble
from a wheat field you can
see how tough it is too at the
base. The shaving doesn’t
make the hair tougher, it just
leaves the tougher stubble.
Cutting off or even pulling
out the hair still leaves an
active follicle, and the hair
will return just as it was, no
darker and in no greater
quantity. The only way to
solve the problem is to
remove the follicle. This is
what electrolysis does. Using
an electrical needle the hair
follicle is destroyed. It
usually takes several treat
ments to get all the hair folli
cles because some of them
have not sprouted their next
hair at the time of one pro
cedure and can’t be located.
By repeated procedures, in
time all the hair follicles can
be destroyed, and hence no
more hair.

He wants Texas made 5 states
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) - A
state legislator wants Texas cut
into five states. It can be done
without the approval of Con
gress —or anyone else.
Rep. Dan Kubiak, a Demo
crat from Rockdale, said today
such a move would quickly
increase the state’s political
clout in Washington and solve
some of its problems at home.
When Texas joined the Union
in 1845, it retained the right to
divide into four additional
states on its own initiative.
Kubiak and Sen. Bob Gam
mage, D-Houston, think the
idea may now be worth
considering 130 years after it
was originally brought up.
More Political Clout
“The best reason I know of to
do it is to get more political
clout in Washington, D.C., for
Japanese women no longer meek
TOKYO — Recent trends
show that Japanese married
women have become more
aggressive and are no longer
the meek sex insofar as seek
ing a divorce is concerned.
Reflecting the economic
growth of this country which,
among other things, made it
easier for women to earn a
living on their own, divorces
in Japan last year registered
an all-time annual high of ap
proximately 113,000 cases.
This figure means that there
was a divorce every 4 minutes
and 39 seconds and 1.05 cases
for every 1,000 persons.
The previous all-time annu
al high was 108,000 cases re
corded in the preceding year
of 1972. Last year about 90 per
(cancer). 1 am 59 years old.
I’m so tired constantly. It
gets progressively worse. 1
know there is research going
on. Is there anything at all
that can relieve this terrible
tired feeling. I do have so
much work that needs to be
done. So, constant rest is out
of the question. 1 go around
feeling so tired that at times
I’m like a zombie.
DEAR READER - You
may well have thalassemia,
but I doubt you have Cooley’s
Mediterranean anemia. That
particular type of anemia is
usually confined to young
children. Most likely you
have another variant of the
thalassemia type of anemias.
The thalassemias are all
abnormalities in the forma
tion of hemoglobin which is
associated with varying
degrees of anemia. Depend
ing on the severity of the
problem, the liver and spleen
may be enlarged, and there
may even be jaundice. Since
you don’t mention these
things, I would assume you
do not have that severe a
form.
Probably your fatigue is
related to an anemia. Your
doctor would most certainly
know with a simple blood
test. He may be able to con
trol your anemia with
medicines. I do want to
assure you that what you
have is not leukemia, nor is it
cancer. It is an inherited con
ci iti o n affecting the
hemoglobin or iron-contain
ing pigment within the red
blood cells.

Lamb, in care of this newspaper.

the State of Texas,” Kubiak
said, noting that the current
geographical area of Texas
could be represented in Con
gress by 10 senators rather
than two.
Kubiak said 70 per cent of the
natural gas produced in the
United States comes from
Texas, “yet we don’t have the
clout to get laws passed to
protect our gas.
“It’s not right for a little old
bitty state like New Jersey to
have the same clout that Texas
does,” he said.
The late Sen. V. E. “Red”
Berry, D-San Antonio, proposed
cutting Texas into two states in
1969 so South Texas could
legalize liquor by the drink and
parimutuel betting. His propos
al cleared a committee as a
cent of the divorces were said
to be marriage annulments by
agreement, a unique institu
tion reportedly existing only
in this country.
By “kyogi rikon,” or di
vorce by agreement, a couple
may formally terminate their
marriage without going to the
court or having the law inter
vene. If the couple cannot
agree on separation to the sat
isfaction of both, they can
take the matter to the family
court which does not make
any decision but only offers
reconciliation for the couple.
If the reconciliation efforts
fail, the only alternative the
couple has is to appeal to the
district court which renders a
decision that would be legally
binding.
About 20 years ago roughly
95 per cent of the divorces
were kyogi rikon but in 1972
the figure dropped to 90 per
cent.
Married women have be
come so aggressive, in fact,
that recent statistics show an
increase in the number of hus
bands visiting family courts
for counseling on marital
troubles. Husbands used to
comprise a very small per
centage of the clients but re
cently that figure has risen to
almost 30 per cent.
The chief investigator at the
Osaka Family Court recently
said he was shocked when a
middle-aged gentleman he
was counseling suddenly
started crying. Yukio Hirose
had believed that men never
cried over their marital trou
bles and was rudely awak
ened to the fact that equality
between sexes had gotten to
the point where men have
come to share some human
frailties with what heretofore
was believed the weaker sex.
Hirose said a married wom
an came to him one day and
told him she wanted a divorce
because she had fallen in love
with another man but that her
husband would not agree to a
divorce.
Hirose asked her what she
planned to do with her chil
dren if she divorced her hus
band. The woman, unper
turbed, replied, “I am a wom
an before I am a mother and I
want to assert my basic hu
man rights.” The woman’s al
most total lack of conscience
was what bothered him,
Hirose said.

Family Court reported that in
one of the cases he had han
dled while he was making
reconciliation efforts the wife
got up and struck her husband
with her handbag in a fit of
anger and he had to physical
ly restrain her. In another
case the woman got hysterical
and suddenly grabbed hold of
and tore up the records he was
preparing.
According to the Health and
Welfare Ministry’s Vital Sta
tistics Section, wives tend to
broach the subject of divorce
more readily than husbands.

joke, but never came to a vote
before the full Senate.
Both Houses passed a bill in
1921 splitting the state into East
and West Texas, but Gov. Pat
Neff vetoed that idea.
Accomplished by Law
Kubiak said the division could
be done by law, and wouldn’t
even require an amendment to
the state constitution.
“I think it certainly needs to
be explored, to find out the
advantages and disadvan
tages,” he said. And if the
advantages outweigh the disad
vantages, Kubiak said he may
introduce legislation next year
that would split up Texas.
The most difficult part of the
idea would be getting residents
to agree on where the dividing
lines should be drawn, he said.
the section indicated that hus
bands took the initiative in
36.4 per cent of the divorce
cases in the previous year and
wives 50.8 per cent. In old
days it was the divorcee who
was the loser. Married women
had no freedom of seeking a
divorce which was the prerog
ative of men. There is a tem
ple in Kamakura, a seat of
shogunate, which served as a
sort of sanctuary for women
wishing to separate from their
husbands.
Perhaps this custom at the
temple was the only exception
to the rule that women had no
right to seek a divorce.
