In the stately drawing room oi
the Indian Embassy. 800 or more
former Wellesley students spon-
taneously sat on the floor yester-
day afternoon to hear a talk by
the new Wellesley president, DR.
Margaret Clapp.
If Mime Pandit, the Indian Am
bassador, looked little surprised
she quickly learned that her
guests were following a Wellesley
campus tradition.
This looks very familiar, DIR
Clapp exclaimed with a laugh as
she glanced about the room anc
realized that the alumnae were
greeting her as they would il

college function.

Very Few Marriages Turn Out Happy
When Woman Is the Purse-Beorer

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 20
years old. Have been married
nearly a year to a woman who is
six years older than I am and
things are not going so good. 1t
seems that my wife and I cannot
agree on anything at all. My wife
had a little money, but I didn't
have anything. not even a job, so
she bought a little business for US.
Everything went along all right
until business began to fall off
and my wife had to draw money
from the bank to keep from los
ing the business. Then she started
raising cain with me as if I could
help 1t. Do you think that her
having to spend money on taking
care of me Is the trouble? And
what is the best thing for me
to do? K. G. T.
Answer: Well. son. I should
think the best thing for you to
do would be to run back home to
Mama and wait until you grow
up and get able to support wife
before you tackle matrimony
again. Maybe your present wife
will like you well enough to want
to have you around when you are
a man and not a kid. One of
the reasons you and your wife
can't agree is because there Is too
much disparity in your ages. Six
years difference between a man
and woman doesn't matter much
if they are both in their thirties
and their tastes and ideas are
formed, but when the boy is just
out of his teens and the woman
is in her middle twenties. it is a
different matter.
A woman of 26 is as grown up
as she will ever be. But the boy
of 20 is still a child. He isn't
ready to settle down. He Is full
of impractical plans and ideas,
and he is bound to get on the
nerves Of a mature woman. Only
a mother has the patience and
understanding to endure the va
garies of an adolescent boy.

To Hear New Wellesley President

Wellesley alumnae. One of them
Mrs. Gautam Sahgal, was among
those assisting at the tea table
yesterday. Z
Nine. Pandit also followed
tradition yesterday when she
thanked her guests for ''honoring'
the Embassy by attending the
tea. In her country, she ex-
planned, it is customary to con-
slider that the guest "confers the
honor" on the home he visits.
The Ambassador declared that
she, herself, almost missed the
party. She has been attending
United Nations meetings in New
York and came down by plane
just for the tea.
Miss Clapp, reporting on activi-
ties at Wellesley, said the sue
cess of its recent 18th anniver-
sary fund drive has enabled the
college to balance it's budget for
the first time in six years. The
alumnae raised more than 81
million in the drive.
In discussing the future, the
new president said she hoped the
college would continue to main
tain its high academic standards
and its high standards of integ-
rity. Individual integrity, she
stressed, is especially necessary ir
efforts to work for world peace
Following the tea yesterday
Miss Clapp was honored at q
dinner given at the Sulgrave Club
by the Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court and Mrs. Harold
H. Burton. Mrs. Burton is q

Then, son, it is strange thing
but true, that there are very few
happy marriages in which the
woman is the purse-bearer. It il
all right for the husband to be
rich and the wife poor. but wher
the case is reversed and the
woman has money and the mar
has nothing. it is almost sure to
cause trouble.
So my advice is to let your wife
keep the money that is dearer to
her than you are and for you to
get a job and support yourself.

To hear the newspaper tell it,
you wouldn't think the record
of Congressman Tom Burke had
anything to do with this cam
paign.
Here are some of the things
he did for the guys who want
to earn an honest buck:
Burke voted to continue rent
controls. He introduced a bill to
provide federal loans to help
secure housing for middle-in-
come groups. He voted for slum
clearance, farm housing.
Burke voted to give domestic
help and 10 million other peo-
pie break by expanding social
security coverage. Naturally he
supported the rs cent minimum
wage law. He introduced bill
to provide more dough for claS-
sified federal workers; to pre-
vent discrimination aga n s t
women in industry; to increase
Railroad Retirement benefits; to
raise school teachers salaries.
Burke voted for aid to Korea;
the Point Four Program n d
ECA to h e l p other countries
prepare for the battle against
Communism. Burke introduced
one bill to end trade agreements
with X e d controlled countries
and another to further US. par
ticipation in a world federation.
Burke voted to admit 200,-
900 additional DPS to tn S
country. He voted for an FEPC
bill with teeth in it; fought tooth
and toenail w h e n tn e COP
yanked out the teeth.
Burke IN tr o d ace d bill
modelled after the LMC to re-
place Taft Hartley. Guess what
they called him!
He battled for price controls;
voted to remove the oleo tax;
voted against the Kerr Gas bill;
voted for Carroll and Kefauver
amendments to Basing p o

Block Junior wants SO badly that
he is willing to destroy and to
besmirch a better man to get it?
What Paul Block Junior wants
is SO simple that it will shock
those who learn of it for the
first time.
Paul Block Junior wants to
get even with Richard T. Cos
ser. GosSer once bested Block
in tug-of-war over a dispute
between Mr.. Block and some of
his employees.
From that day to this, no
friend of Gosser, no associate of
Gosser, no activity of Gosser, no
organization with which Gosser
has been connected has been safe
from the nastiness and the con-
temptible libels which those who
do Blocks dirty work for wages
think up.
1t has nothing to do with poll
tics. But it does have a lot to do
with how long Toledo will stand
the t e n h of the newspaper
monopolies Paul Block Junior
has foisted upon them.
We predict that this will not
be long.

tors at the Plaza Hotel, Mr..
Carey listed four "basic aims
and detectives" of organized
labor for the emergency period
First, to supply the produc-
ton needed.
Second, to keep our economy
strong not only now but in
preparation for period of
world peace.
''Third, to keep the morale of
our people high.
Fourth, to win over the
workers and masses of other
countries, by demonstrating that
they can can place confidence in
the purposes and leadership of
this nation"
Mr.. Carey predicted that un-
ions will Cooperate with any
company or industry that is pa
triotically trying to meet the ma
tion's needs, and wants to work
together with us. But we will
not permit any company to take
advantage of this situation to
make excess profits on our la
Dor, or at the expense of the
government or the nation"
The CIO Secretary Treasurer
warned against what he termed
"the negative dangerous ap-
proach that we are simply
engaged in a crusade against
Communism, or against people
we think are Communists.
There are others who think
that the American peoples
hatred of Communism gives
them an opportunity through
repressive legislation and other
wise, to make an attack upon
labor and upon liberal thought,
and to turn this nation back on
to reactionary path.
Such groups and their poll
cies will have our complete and
bitter opposition.
Mr.. Carey said that "in the
opinion of labor, we are en-
gagged in something more posi-
tive--a crusade for freedom, for
peace, for plenty, for opportun-
ity and better life for all the
people in the world. And that
includes the people of Russia
and those countries under its
domination
"The basic problem is not
only military, but it is the ques-
tlon of which system will get
the support of the hundreds of
millions of downtrodden, ex-
plotted, hungry, repressed, an
xiety-ridden people all over the
world.
"If by our own deeds, here
and abroad, we can convince
these people that we can help
them to provide their economic
needs, and in addition, give
them liberty and freedom, the
Communist movement will be
crippled II will lose the sup
port of the masses who still are
fooled, and the Soviet Union

standing in the honorable field
of newspaper writing.
It took a combination of these
two overpowering ambitions to
produce a piece like the Page
One e ditorial in Tuesdays
Blade.
The editorial lied, and who
ever wrote it knew it lied when
he wrote it.
1t lied when it said that Tom
Burke "feels obliged to mini
mize" his association with Rich
ard T. Gosser. Tom Burke has
proudly proclaimed his friend
ship with Gosser, and overlooks
no opportunity to tell his audi
ence that he is a CIO member,
Local IL member and con-
siders his union membership one
of his proud possessions.
Beyond that the editorial did
no more than libel Gosser, and
by so doing try to libel Burke.
1t tried to crawl out of its
censorship of Burke's advertise
ment demanding proof of the
charges of "errand boy" by the
front page piece saying cit is
hard to believe"
The charges boil down to
four:
1-Gosser supported Burke,
and therefore Burke is an
swerable to Gosser.
2-Gosser said Franz Ber-
lacher was a friend of labor,
and therefore Burke, in Con-
gress has abandoned his in
pendence and integrity.
3-Burke must be clearing
his vote with Gosser because
he has not been expelled from
Local IL or beaten up.
4-Burke can't be an indie
pendent because he says he is.
These are the four "items of
proof" on which the t o l e d o
Blade and the Toledo Times
have been basing their vicious
ISLANDERS of "errand boy" "bus
boy" personal representative"
taking orders" ''handpicked
agent" not completely honest" :"
on "his masters bus n S.
"agent of the ULC," "Gosser's
mouthpiece" who must "clear it
first with Gosser."
There are few SO lost to SIM
pie common sense that they will
consider these four "beliefs" of
the Blade writer as proof OF
charges which are, in fact, a
federal offense.
And what is this thing Paul
