he already has received much in
formation on conditions in and
around Washington.
He also said he has obtained
and studied the February grand
jury report on District Attorney
George Morris Fay's lengthy in
vestigation of gambling here. That
report said organized gambling, if
left undisturbed, was "a serious
threat" to Washington safety
and welfare.
AS the author of the resolution
calling for the inquiry, Senator
Kefauver is expected to be named
chairman of a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee to conduct it.
Approved BY Full Committee.
His resolution has been ap-
proved by the full Judiciary Com
mittee and the Senate Rules Com
mittees. 1t probably will come
before the Senate this week and
its approval is regarded as certain.
The resolution would authorize
$50,000 for the expenses of the in
quiry.
The investigation, Senator Ke-
fauver indicated, would bring
double-barreled attack on local
crime conditions.
He said he expects the Senate
committee to work in close CO.
operation with a House District
crime investigating subcommittee
headed by Representative Davis,
Democrat, of Georgia.
Mr.. Davis said yesterday that
Hyman I. Fischbach. the House
subcommittee's general counsel,
will return tomorrow or Tuesday
from a Florida vacation. He added
that he expects to call an execu-
tive meeting of the subcommittee
to resume its program. He re-
fused to say in advance what the
program would be.
$4,000 More Asked.
The House group has asked for
an additional $4,000 to continue
its investigation. The request is
pending before the House Admin
istration Committee which has
held one hearing on it.
Senator Kefauver said he was
particularly interested in the in
terstate aspects of gambling here
and the way bookmakers and
others can operate in the District
from nearby counties.
This matter was touched on in
the grand jury report. 1t COM
mented with concern on the "safe-
ty" afforded gamblers by the State
line situation here and added that
the circumstances make it i'm
possible for local police authori-
ties to effectively control their
operations.
The Senate committees investi-
cation OF crime conditions here
will be only a part of it's overall
inquiry into interstate gambling
and racketeering activities and of
the manner in which the facili-
ties of interstate commerce are
made vehicle of organized
crime"
Many Reports Received.
Senator Kefauver said he had
received many reports from law
enforcement officers and other
persons on how gamblers and
others are seeking to move in on
legitimate business in several of
the country's metropolitan CEN
ters. Such activities would be one
line Of inquiry in the investiga-
ton.
II he is named chairman of the
investigating subcommittee, Sem
ator Kefauver expects to name a
highly-trained staff of investiga-
tors.
Public hearings would be held
with some of the "big names" in
the gambling world probably
called as witnesses. But such a
hearing would be preceded, Sen
ator Kefauver said, by search
ing study of all information re-
ceived thus far on gambling syn
dicates and other crime activities

firm. He also has created almost
all of the other better-known
foribunda varieties.
Many Years to Create Rose.
There is much that goes into
the creation of new rose. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Boerner, who is
here for the show, just one new
rose represents many years of
work involving thousands of
plants.
First, he said, the parent plants
must be selected, not only for
flowers, but for hardness, vigor
resistance to disease, foliage and
ability to bloom.
These plants are cross pollen
lied by hand. and when the seeds
ripen they are planted in spaghum
moss. AS soon as the new seed
lings come into bloom, they are
carefully examined and those
worth testing further are bud
ded on stronger stock. The best
OF these are then grated on wild
rose stock and are sent to many
parts OF the country for testing.
Mr.. Boerner explained that out
OF 10000 crosses, perhaps only
three plants may prove worthy
OF being introduced as new roses.

After all these years, there are
still some men who don't under
stand women!
Mr.. Men. is the latest to write
me on this subject. MY wife
does such unreasonable things
he protests. The way she be-
haves is simply not rational -
according to my way of looking at
it. She tells me. with some irrita-
tion. that the trouble is I don't
understand women. All right, DR..
Popenoe. I'll admit it! Does any,
body understand women? Are
they understandable"
I'm not going to commit myself.
in reply to your last question,
Mr.. McN. might end up by con-
victing myself somehow. But I'm
safe in saying that you can't un-
derstand women if you suppose
they are going to think, talk, or
act like men.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kidd, member
of an advertising agency, gave
some suggestions in a recent book.
According to Mrs. Kidd (who signs
her name Bj Kidd-isn't that just
like a woman?) these are some of
the important differences between
the sexes:
l. Women are intuitive. Men
are intellectual. (For this reason,
each of them tends to become
irritated too easily by the mental
processes of the otherD
2. Women are identifcationists.
Men are realists. CA woman wants
to put herself into everything,
Looking at the display in a fur
nlture window. the wife says to
herself, I'D like to fix my dining
room up like that" The husband
says to himself, That's not hard
maple-merely cherry. Poor job
OF staining, too.")
3. Women are subjective. Men
are objective. CThe wife says, "I
like him" The husband says,
He's O.K.")
4. Women go by inner percep-
ton. Men go by naturalization
cThe wife says, Il just don't know
why, but something tells me that's
wrong The husband says, DO
you have any figures on that? I'd
like to see the test results.")
5. Women indulge more in
fancy. Men are more Influenced
by facts.
Those will do for a start, Mr..
Mon. Study your wife in the light
OF them, and let me hear from you
again year from now.

@. My husband continually tells
me I should have our girl learn
to be a good homemaker. What
is she supposed to know?
A. Home Economist Dora S
Lewis says. Skill in human rela-
tionships: clear integrated think
ing; grasp of community and
world economic problems; capac-
ity to teach democracy in the
home; efficiency in home man
agement." From your own expe-
rience, what would you add?
Q. What States, besides Nevada
are in the business of trying to
attract migratory divorce "for rev.
enue only?
A. Be careful-some of these
States feelings are easily hurt by
such charge! "Disinterested by
ISLANDERS" sometimes allege that
Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Nevada
and Wyoming are all "out for the
business.
@. Newspapers quote a speaker
as saying much of the trouble
young people have today is that
they marry so much later than
was the case generation or two
ago. How much later?
A. On the contrary, they are
marrying earlier nowadays than
ever before. Even in our Colonial
period, people did not marry
younger than now. It's strange
how responsible persons continue
to spread this falsehood.
