Harry Lauder, the great Scotch
comedian, had a gag that used to
convulse his audience 80 or 40
years ago. He would pull from his
pocket a few bolts and a small
iron spring and display them,
confiding earnestly to the crowd,

I have often thought that love
at first sight" has about the same
relation to successful marriage
that Harry LADDERS handful of
scrap iron had to the manufac-
ture of a 7-passenger sedan. 1t
was start!
Love at first sight is the raw
material-that is. very minute
part of the raw material-out of
which a good marriage can be
made. Sometimes. Usually it is
merely a device for Self-delusion,
growing out of some untitled emo
tional need. If you want to see
what a small part it can play,
even at the best, in a successful
marriage, write me in care of The
Star (enclosing a stamped, self
addressed envelope) and ask for
a free copy of my little self
rating test called, Are You SURE
It's Love-"
Mrs. D. raises the question in

a little different form: what Is
the solution to the problem when
two people in their forties. a man
and a woman, meet and click
from the very first?"
Obviously man or woman in
that situation. both unhappily
married and feeling misunder-
stood, as Mrs. DIS letter goes on
to describe in detail, can't help
being inwardly ready for an emo
tional stimulus. Each is trying to
escape from unpleasant reality
into a dream world where life
would be just one long, sweet
song, with another partner. Every
day observation shows that they
would not be likely to find such
a paradise if they divorced their
present partners and married
each other; and actually neither
one has the slightest intention of
breaking up his or her own home.
They are just day-dreaming.
It's not satisfactory way for
people with family responsibilities
to solve their problems. A salts
factory solution could probably be
found in rejuvenating the present
MISUNDERSTANDING the So
cial and recreational life, the SEX
ual partnership, and the intellec-
tual companionship. Many mar
riages of 20 or 80 years duration
need that treatment.

Miss Fleeson recalled that Vol
taire once said that the English
hang an admiral occasionally as
an example to the others" "It
seems that MIR. Truman is not
even willing to hang a stenogra-
Ipher," she quipped. In a more
serious vein, she added that she
would be the first to be annoyed
Iif Mr.. Truman did chang the
Istenographer" instead of some Of
the top officials more to blame.
Miss Fleeson also expressed the
opinion that women need to
enter politics in far greater num-
bers than ever before" IF they
i go in. they must learn to hit hard,
to fight" she said. There's no
Ichivalry in politics. You will get
precisely what you inforce. You
must form your own principles
and philosophy on knowledge and
information of your own in the
bravest and most straightforward
manner possible"
The speaker added that it would
be plain good politics" If the Re-
publican Party would nominate
Senator Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine for Vice President in 1852.
She's fully as capable as any
member of the Senate" she said.
She's intelligent. she's amiable
and she has character"
Miss Fleeson was introduced by
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president

Washington is fooling around
too much with the details and
wasting precious time getting at
the main issue-the winning Of the
war, Miss Doris Fleeson, columnist
for The Star, told the Washing
ton Club yesterday.
Korea is a war. serious one.
she declared. I'VE are therefore
either in a national emergency
or we are not. If we're not, let's
bring our troops home. If we are,
let's stop fooling around, and let
the military take care of the mill
tary, and the politicians take care
of politics.
"Our business is to get on with
the national emergency" Miss
Fleeson continued. Controls are
indivisible. I dislike them in
tensely, but if we have them. let's
ask the same sacrifices from all"
The speaker also expressed re-
sentiment against the long Sen
ate delay on tax legislation that
is going to pay the war emergency
bill, declaring that "a sense Of
urgency" to match the spirit OF
the soldiers in Korea. is needed.

act like a great power capable of
making great sacrifices for the
things in which we believe. What

women. DO you seriously believe
We can't lick communism? All we
have to do is to pull ourselves to-
gether. The secret of freedom is a
brave heart and the secret of hap
piness is freedom"

WakefieId's Attitude
PIeases Club Owner
BY the Assoeioted Press

OAKLAND, Calf, Feb. o.
Oakland Oaks Owner Clarence L.
(Brick) Laws is elated over Out
fielder Dick Wakefield's change of
heart-"I'll play baseball this year
for nothing, just for the fun of
it."
The boss exclaimed today:
"By golly, I'll charter private
plane as soon as possible and go
to Florida to pick him up before
he gets a chance to change his
mind
In Lakeland, Fla, yesterday
Wakefield said he would accept
Laws offer of 81 plus expenses
for the Pacific Coast League sea-
son. but couldn't get a reservation
to fly here for spring training.
Earlier. Wakefield had screamed
loudly when informed of the 81
offer. Laws tempered that by ex-
planning expenses could tote up to
the $1,000 Dick received with
Oakland last year, if Dick has a
good season.
Wakefield, a $4,000 Detroit
Tiger bonus baby 10 years ago but
a flop in the American League,
said playing baseball. not earning
money, is his big aim at the mo-
ment.
Laws lauded:
"Wakef1eld's decision proves he's
even a bigger man than I thought
he was and is sincere about getting
back in the major leagues. How
can guy miss with an attitude
like that?"
