Things have not improved, apparently, but Mrs. Gandhi feels it is in all Asia's interest tot have a strong India, not in terms of military power but stability: This stability is not always assured.

The law has been applied to Jews trying I to leave the Soviet Union for Israel. Last year the Israeli government accepted 25.000 to 30,000 Soviet immigrants. Reporting what he said are the personal views of the President, Scott said strong action on the subject by Congress may cause the Soviets "to reverse their present policy of restraint" on many issues.

Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott said Wednesday.

Scott said Congress should be satisfied with the suspension of the controversial exit tax. He warned that further steps to penalize the Soviets by passing restrictive trade legislation could endanger newly improved relations. Critics of the Soviet Union's' exit tax said they were not They questioned the good faith of the Soviet Union and said they would press for passage of an amendment by Sen. Henry Jackson, denying "most-favored-nation" treatment to the Soviet Union if President Nixon does not periodically certify that the exit tax has ceased to apply, Scott said he got his news from Henry.

The President's tenuous alliance with George Meany, already endangered by the, failure of Phase 3 controls to halt the rapid rise in living costs, seems certain to be destroyed in the trade bill bickering, if indeed it has not faded fnto Oblivion long 'before; Organized labor is supporting the highly restrictive Burke-Hartke bill; It fixes quo-. tas on imports, enlarging them yearly on a rolling basis. However, it would amount to a virtual cutoff of Japanese automobiles, for example.

Hartke is aware that he doesn't have the votes in the Senate to pass this bill now. But when labor leaders and the captains of afc fected industries combine their forces, they are likely to win more protectionist con-. -cessions than' the President has. recom- mended. There will be a temptation also tor the administration to accept additional protec- tionist amendments to get the bill passed.

The theory will be that once handed this blank check, the President say "no" later to industries which want to involve these clauses to undermine agreements they regard as unfavorable to them. Nixon has asked for authority to grant most-favored-nation (low tariff) treatment to the communist state-trading nations. This is aimed primarily at developing a huge expansion of trade with the Soviet Union. But here again this is trouble in Sen. Henry M.

Jackson's amendment to cancel such authority if the Soviets continue to collect an emigration tax on Jewish intellectuals seeking jo for abandonment of this tax, now in- dicated, would solve this That the United States has a. tremendous stake in negotiating a new world trading system is evidenced in the fact that last year's imports exceeded exports by nearly $6 billion, This contributed to the nearly $14 1 WASHINGTON Something vital will be missing from his luggage on President Nixon's grand tour of Europe this fall a congressional grant of authority for the unprecedented powers he has asked to change the "ules by which the United States deals with he trading partners he will be U.

The best way to build muscles is by muscular work which can be weight-lifting, isotonic I exercises, or in combination with isomeric exercises over a period of time. The muscle has to work to stimulate growth. 1 The problem with isometrics for most healthy people is that they do not work enough muscles to require delivery of a lqt, of oxygen and thereby do not work the heart, circulation, fend Running exercises, jogging, playing swim-: ming, and a host of other forms pf physical activity not only develop the muscles and their full range of motion, but they also, help build up the capacity of the heart; the fact that we maintain our ovyn in-store parts and service dept.
