Khrushchev Casts Vote And Answers Questions MOSCOW (AP) Former Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev made one of his rare public appearances Sunday to vote in local elections being held throughout the Soviet Union. A large crowd of Russians and foreign cor resoondents was held back by police to clear a path for Khrushchev who will be 75 next month, and his wife Nina as they entered the polling place after arriving in a chauffeured sedan. One corespondent called out: "How are you?" Khrushchev replied with a soft "Thank you." An old woman in the crowd said: "Ah, Nikita Sergeyevich," and Khrushchev saluted her and replied: "Hello." He was wearing a heavy coat and fur hat. which he toook off on entering the building, revealing the familiar bald head. He peared to be in good health. Correspondents asked about his health and he answered: "I feel well." Asked what he is doing, he replied, "I read. I take walks. What can I do? I am a pensioner." As he moved on, he was asked what he thought of the current situation with China. Rehabilitation Center Opens in Mountains BLACK MOUNTAIN A new Alcoholic Re habilitation Center here serving 30 counties of Western North Carolina was to admit its first patients Monday. The first patients were to be transferred to the center from Broughton Hospital in Morgan ton. Future patients will be ad-1 mitted directly from the coun-| ties. Opening of the new center will represent completion of the second step in the North Caro lina Department of Mental' Health's plans for an alcoholic i rehabilitation center in each of four regions of the state. Last month a new center opened at Butner that will event ually concentrate on serving on ly patients from the north cen tral region. A third center for Your professional beautician knows the answer... Why does some hair break off when combing? Your hair is precious and delicate... and none of us like to see it break off for any reason. Scientists tell us that excessive use of hot combs and over-processing of hair with chemicals often are major causes of brittleness resulting in hair breakage. But hair that is naturally curly and tangles easily frequently breaks off in everyday combing. Notice how irritated your scalp becomes when you comb in contrast to the way your beautician does? Your professional beautician knows that curly hair mats and tangles so easily that it should be softened before combing. Otherwise, unnecessary irritation to the scalp and damage to the shaft and ends of the hair occurs. To achieve this needed softening and a temporary relaxing effect that prevents break age on all human hair (including wigs), most beauticians rely on Clairol" Hairdo-New* spray-on creme rinse.

Although Khrushchev has an apartment in downtown Moscow and votes here, he spends most of his time at his country home west of Moscow. He cast a ballot for members of tbe district and Moscow city councils. Like other Soviet citizens, he received a ballot with a single list of Commupist-backed candidates. About 147 million citizens comprise the electorate. If past practice is followed, about 99 per cent of the electorate will cast their ballots. The candidates are selected by local committees, usually directed by Communist party activists. Despite the fact that there are no con tests in the Western sense, the Communist party and local officials have been waging a full-scale campaign since Jan. 12. as they do every year, to make sure the elections and the candidates are well publicized. Every day, the press,, even when tensions with China dominated the news, has found space for publicizing the elections. the eastern region is nearing completion at Greenville. Dr. James Spencer, an in ternist and former staff physi cian at Broughton, is the acting medical director at the new center here. He said health and welfare agencies and mental health centers in the western region will soon receive a phamphlet explaining "who is eligible and how to get a patient admitted." Counties to be served by the new center include Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Bun combe, Burke, Caldwell, Cataw ba, Cherokee, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Iredell, Jackson, Lincoln, McDowell, Macon, Madison, Mecklenburg, Mitchell Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Trans ylvania, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey. Soviets Say Peking Used Big Force MOSCOW —A regiment of 3,000 Communist Chinese soldiers charging in "wave after wave" of artillery supported attacks attempted to overrun a Soviet border garrison in the latest clash over the frozen Ussuri River, a Soviet regional military commander reported Sunday. The battle for Damansky Island in the border river Saturday was, by Soviet ac counts, the biggest armed clash ever reporfed between Soviet and Chinese Communist forces. It was the second fight on the island within two weeks. Maj. Gen. Varsily Lobanov, commander of the Soviet Army's Pacific ocean frontier region,'described the battle in a dispatch distributed Sunday by the Soviet news agency Tass. Wave after Wave "An infantry regiment with support units ... under cover of artillery fire, intruded into the southern extremity of the island and attacked Soviet frontier guards ... in wave after wave" of charges, Lobanov said. He said the Soviets sum moned reinforcements from nearby posts because they were heavily outnumbered by the Chinese regiment, believed to number at least 3,000 soldiers. "In spite of the numerical superiority and strong Tire of the enemy," Lobanov frontier guards repelled the attack and drove the Chinese off the island. The snow was black from the explosion of the shells." Officer Killed Lobanov mentioned the death of one Soviet officer, whom he identified as Lt. Lev Mankov sky, in the battle. But he gave no" other casualty figures. He said the battle began at 9:45 a.m. Saturday (6:45 p.m. EST Friday) and continued for seven hours before the Chinese were repulsed. (Radio Poking, in a broadcast monitored in Hong Kong, said the fighting began at 8 a.m. Saturday, four hours after Soviet troops had begun an advance cn the island. The official Communist Chinese version said Chinese troops stationed on the island, which the Chinese call Chen Pao (Trea sure), drove off the Soviet troops after an 11-hour battle.)

Negro Teachers Reject White Merger Proposal The possibility of a merg?** between North Car»ii .'s white and Negro teacher organizations received a set back Saturday as the board of directors of the N. C. Teachers Association the Negro group voted unanimously to reject a four point proposal recently put forth by the N. C. Education Association the white group. Mrs. Ruth B. Jones of Rocky Mount, president of the NCTA, predicted nonetheless that a merger agreement will be worked out between the two groups by June 30 this year. But, told of the Negro re jection, Dr. A. C. Dawson, ex ecutive director of the NIHA, said that he does "not see any hope (of a merger) at the moment" and that he does "not see how she can make such a prediction." The four points sub n ; .

The buildup of Chinese forces in the latent clash began about six days ago, Lobanov said. Last Wednesday, he said, a Chinese officer came to the island and threatened a renewal of fighting against Soviet troops based there unless they aban doned it. On March 2, Soviet and Chinese forces clashed on the island in a • battle that left 31 Soviet soldiers dead and 14 others wounded. The Chinese have not disclosed their casual ties in either of the clashes but have admitted there was "bloodshed.' A police guard surrounded the Communist Chinese Embassy in Moscow Sunday but, aside from a few strollers who shook their fists at the building, there were no demonstrations or incidents.

"We presented them to our board," Mrs. Jones said. "AH four were rejected unanimous ly." She said that 18 of the 20 board members were present. The rejection by the hoard, she said, precludes the pro posals from being presented to the full NCTA meeting scheduled for March 27-28 here. But she predicted, "By June 20. 1959 we will hav; worked out an acceptable merger."
