Soviet Absent from Security Council

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (P) - Soviet Russia ignored the opening session today of the United Nations trusteeShip council, whose deSig- hated mission is to look after the interests of the worlds non-self- governing peoples.
 The absence of Soviet delegate did not prevent the council from proceeding with immediate busi- ness. It caused concern, however, among U. N. officials already wor- ried by what appeared to be a growing trend to bypass the or ganization on important problems.
 There was no explanation from the Soviet U. N. delegation headed by deputy foreign minister Andre A. Gromyko. He refused to make any statement on Russian plans, Some delegates expressing the be- lief that the naming of a Soviet delegate had merely been delayed and might come through later.
 During the general assembly de- bate on trusteeship last fall, Russia refused to approve any of the eight draft trusteeship agreements GOV ering former league of nations mandate territories now placed under the truSteeship system. The Soviet delegation then took the view that these agreements were invalid because of several of theiI provisions.

She hurried out and Gail closed
the door, turning the little wooden
knob that held it closed. For a
moment she sat, down on the stool,
looking helplessly about her. Per
haps nothing about the big ugly
old place had shocked her more
than this makeshift bathroom.
Nothing had proven to her so
sharply the abject poverty of her
fathers life.
She made herself go through
with the bath, and at last she
was back upstairs in her room,
searching for something to wear.
She was as much at sea about
this as about other things that she
had had to decide since she came
here, but at last she selected a
lowered cotton dirndl, wound a
matching ribbon through her hair,
and put on saddle shoes, without
stockings. and went down the
stairs.
The morning was mild, for
warm weather came here in
March and this was the last Of
February. The kitchen was very
hot, with two large blue granite
ware pots steaming on the stove,
giving off a delicious tangy odor.
Kate deity turned a waffle
from an old-fashioned iron into a
plate, scooped butter lavishly over
it, and placed it before Gail at
one end of the kitchen table. She
had spread a clean white cloth,

SYNOPSIS

Gail Prentice's parents had d.
vorced when she was a child, and
all she knew Of her father,
>narles, was what her gay. ex-
travagant mother, LISA, had told
her-that he was the wealthy own
er Of Twin Oaks, a fine old south
ern plantation and that the
trust fund he had established for
them years ago was no longer
adequate for their needs. When
Charles, who had remarked years
before, invited Gail to spend the
summer, LISA approved, hoping
the visit might result in an in
creased allowance for them. But
upon her arrival. Gail found The
situation very different from ex-
pectations. The big house was
gone-burned to the ground years

when her Gather disclosed that he

ed appetite OF youth, she watched
Kate. A pleasant task, for Kate
was good to look at in her fresh
percale erock and her apricot
pink apron with its applique peck
ct in the shape of a cluster of
purple grapes and green leaves.
The kitchen was a pleasant
place, too. Large, with a huge
fireplace in which the family
cooking had been done n former
years. There was a big oid-fash-
Toned iron sink, with a pump, and
a wooden drainboard for dish
washing. The linoleum that COW
cred the floor was bright and gay,
but there were worn spots in front
Of the stove and the sink.
Gail finished her breakfast and
stood up. She pushed the soft
curls back rom her damp fore
head, and Kate, looking al her
compassionateiy, said, Run out
doors where it's cooler, Gail. I'm
afraid you'll have to entertain
yourself this morning. I'm sorry,
but mornings are such busy time,
here"
"Oh, that's all right" answered
Gail, secretly grateful to escape
the hot, steamy kitchen and be
alone with the tumble of her con-
fused thoughts. I'm a very good
little self-entertainer."
Kate smiled at her.
You'll find books in the living
room," she said as Gail went out.

Feet into silly, high heeled slip
pers. Her blue satin robe that had
been a birthday present from
Mona Stephens lay across the foot
Of the bed and she wrapped it
about herself.
She had forgotten to ask Norah
about the bathroom last night, she
told herself, and went out into the
hall looking for it. And then she
blinked, because the other three
bedroom doors stood open, and
the rooms were neat and tidy, the
beds freshly made. So she had
upset the routine Of the house
hold, not by getting up too early.
but by sleeping so late!
There we're four doors, all o.
them open except her own,
against which she stood. And OBJ
viously none of them opened into
a bathroom. 1rresolutely. she
trailed down the stairs, and a.
she reached the foot, Kate emery
ed from the kitchen into the back
hall, smiling at her.
Good morning, Gail. Did you
sleep well?" she asked brightly
II must have slept very well to
have slept this late. I'm SC
sorry" apologized Gail.
"We wanted you to sleep. my
DEAR" answered Kate. "Norah
was very quiet in doing the up
stairs work so she wouldn't dis
turb you"
"But where is Norah? Where's
everybody?" demanded Gail, puz-
zled.
"Greg's blowing. Norah and
Charles are planting the rest Of
the corn" answered Kate, a n d
added briskly, If you're ready
for breakfast"
IT was looking for the bath
room," answered Gail.
Kate nodded. "Of course. It's
here, Gail" She led the way out
of the hall to the wide back veran-
da and to a door that had once
been a part Of the covered walk
between the winter and the sum-
mer kitchen. The space had been
enclosed, and when Kate opened
the door, Gail saw an ol%d-fashion-
ed tub mounted on bricks, a paint
ed stool, and some nails along the
wall, obviously to hold garments.
Over the bathtub there was a rack
on which were several fresh bath
towels.
Kate said, smiling, II imagine
you'd prefer a warm bath. I have
water heating on the s:ove-you
see, we have no running water.
I'm afraid the bathroom is a bit
Of swank on our part, but we're
terribly pleased about it. The
drain pipe goes out into the gar
den, so that when we have baths
the garden is watered at the same
time!"
She went away, and Gail stood
staring with unbelieving eyes at
this small, hideous shed o. a
room. For a moment she thought
Of the luxurious, beautifully ap-
pointed bathrooms in the homes
where she had been a guest: pale
colored tiles: sliding glass panels
that shut off the shower; towels
on heated racks; great jars and
bowls Of bath oils and scents and
powders; full-length mirrors set
into the doors.
Kate came back carrying two
large buckets of steaming water
which she poured into the tub.
Then she made another trip with
two buckets Of cold water.
You'd better get the right tenn
perature, Gail. Use as much OF
the cold as it takes to get it

cerebral dominance. Contrary to
what you'd expect, the right side
of the brain is dominant in the left
handed person. That also makes
him left-eyed and left-footed. His
left eye dominates his vision and
his left foot dominates his gait -
he'll use it to stamp and kick.
4. Preference for one hand or
the other usually shows up in
early childhood. Left-handed
children start writing from the
right side of the page to the
left. They confuse the letters "p"
and ID" the words saw" and
was"
s. In giving tests for eft-handed-
ness, psychologists will ask sub
jects to pick up a weight, hammer
a nail, thread a needle, or applaud.
For these are things that the
naturally left-handed person will
do in a left-handed way, even if
he's learned to do most everything
else with his right hand.
You may think of yourself as
right-handed but perhaps you were
left-handed as a child. Here's a
Evening star., 1947-11-30

VoU'RE at a dinner party hav-
Il ing an amiable conversation
with the lady at your side. The
main course is served and you cut
into the steak. The lady looks at
you with mild surprise - you've
bumped her elbow.
Your table manners aren't t below
par and you're neither careless nor
clumsy. This incident and hum
dreds like it can be traced to one
simple fact: you're left-handed.
And you're living in a right
handed world. You adjust to that
world when you sit down to
dinner, sharpen a pencil, enter
telephone booth or pick up golf
club.
Left-handedness has interested
writers for centuries. But only re-
Gently have psychologists and med
ical men begun to get at the facts.
Here's what they've discovered:
I. According to Psychologist
johnson O'Connor, who has stud
led 100000 cases, one person in
four starts life as a southpaw.
Most of them change their habits,
and only one person in 20 writes
with his left hand. But even
though you use your right hand
now you may be one of the
100000 Americans who were
originally left-handed.
z. Left-handedness is no indi-
cation of intelligence. A southpaw
can be a moron, a genius or just
average. Probably the most famous
left-hander was Leonardo da Vinci.
Though he was ambidextrous to a
degree, we know that he drew with
his left hand because of the direc-
ton his lines run in.
;. Most authorities agree that
"handedness" is determined by
