Modern
Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

If you have a baby to keep your
marriage together, you may dam
age both the marriage and the
child.
That is the first thing Mr.. and
Mrs. c. ought to bear in mind.
They are not sure about them
selves, and each writes a detailed
and intelligent letter describing
their marriage in brief:
Mr.. G. is an introvert, q labora-
tory worker who has been married
for five years to q wife three years
his senior. He says he has not been
happy in the marriage lately; in
fact, he has been depressed. His
wife Is q wonderful woman and it
Is certainly not her fault. Per-
haps he Is not the right husband
Tor her.
Mrs. G. is an extravert, success
full in her job Of retail selling. She
Is eager to make a success Of the
marriage, too, and has decided
that she has not been the kind
lof wife her husband wants-he
would like a Stay-at-home type.
an old-fashioned homemaker. She
is afraid that the marriage is
harmed by the fact that she is
three years older than her hus-
band. She can't change that, but
she could give up her Job (Which
she greatly enjoys, stay home,
look after her husband, and have
a baby to bind them more closely
together: But when she began
to talk this to her husband, he
seemed to be more depressed than
before. His arguments against
her plan did not seem logical to
her. She doesn't know what to do.
1t Is fairly obvious from their
complete letters that Mr.. c. is
dependent on his wife; that he
would like to have her spend more
time in the home; but he feels
very guilty at the thought of max
ing her give up her career. The
only way he can figure it out is
that she ought to have a different
husband!
I have a mimeographed sheet
telling some Of the ways Of dealing
with depression, which am send
ing to Mr.. c. Any reader may
have a copy without cost, by
writing me in care of The Eve
ming Star-but please inclose a
stamped. self lf-addYessed envelope
However. before they increase
the size Of their family. Mr.. and
Mrs. c. should strengthen the
family's foundations. 1t is not
fair to let baby come into a
home that is on the verge of fall
ing apart. I am corresponding
with them further. The age diff
ference which Mrs. C. mentions
is not important, except that If
she is ever going to have children,
she should start soon. She needs
some outside activities that will
satisfy her. while at the same
time concentrating more atten-
ton on her home. 1t will not be
difficult to arrange that. since her
husband is we'll able to support
a family.

provide the baby with a strong,
safe home. first. |

Psychologist Calls
Comic Strips Aid in
Studying Child
By the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IA. -In-
stead of causing delinquency,
comic strips are a definite aid to
parents who want to understand
the mental processes of their
children.
That's the opinion of David
Cole, Occidental College psychol-
ogist, who has just completed a
study of children's preferences in
comic strips as related to their
personalities. The professors
findings:
Children who have the greatest
liking for adventure comics are
likely to be the ones most tiled
down" at home.
Youngsters maladjusted in their
home relations were found to
prefer escapist funnies - inter-
planetary war, rocket men and
other fantasies.
I'm many cases." says Mr.. Cole.
"the comics simply provide a
harmless medium where in the
child finds mode of expressing
what his home environment has
denied him. The delinquency, II

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. IA
new United Nations committee
meets today to take up President
Truman's suggestion that the U.
N. combine talks on atomic energy
control and world reduction of
other weapons.
The 12-man group will report
back to the 1851 General Assem-
bly, on the feasibility of such a
combination.
Russia has always demanded
the linkup. The United States in
sisted on separate handling until
Mr.. Truman suddenly reversed his
stand in a speech to the U. N. last
October.
Special urgency is given to the
committees work by the belief,
widely held here, that recent
United States atom tests in Ne
vada were of atomic warheads for
conventional arms.
In view of current world tension,
however, there is little hope that
any substantial progress can be
made toward international con-
troll within any framework.

| McCabe Has Replied
To Truman Letter on
Interest Rate Issue

Federal Reserve Board Chair
man Thomas B. McCabe has sent
a letter to the White House reply
ing to q letter from President
Truman which set off a contro-
versy over Government rates.
The White House has not given
out Mr.. McCabe's letter. A board
spokesman said today that Mr..
McCabe sent the letter last week
to the President and that its pub
lication was up to the White
House. , .
The Presidents letter, dated
January 81, expressed gratifica-
ton that the FRB's Open Market
Committee apparently agreed with
the Treasury on credit controls.
Mariner S. Eccles, board
member and former chairman.
subsequently disclosed a Federal
Reserve Board memorandum of
the meeting between Mr.. Truman
and the boards Open Market
Committee. The memorandum, he
said, showed that the committee
didf not agree with the Treasury
stand which the President sup
ports. g..
The long standing controversy
between the FRB and the Treas
ury turns essentially on how to
control imitation in the face of
heavy defense spending. The
board has contended that Gov
ernment long term securities
should be allowed to seek their
own level in the bond market. The
Treasury believes that the long,
term interest rates must be held
at 212 per cent.
Mr.. Truman said at his news
conference last week that he still
believed the Federal Reserve
Board had been in agreement
with him and the Treasury on
that matter.

a farm near Lee, Mass. The sub
sequent raid by the subcommittee
was announced Friday.
William Holland, the institutes S
secretary general, said in New
York after the seizure that the
organization had no objection to
its files being used by "any prop
erly accredited agency provided
they are used fairly" He said the
FBI already had studied them.
In Good Hands, Says Mccarthy.
Reached by telephone in jack
son. Mich, Senator Mccarthy
told a reporter the investigation
of the institute records is in "ex-
cellent" hands. He added:
II am in no position to dis
cuss the background of how the
papers were obtained. I just want
to say I have every confidence
the subcommittee in charge of
the inquiry will do a thorough job
of analyzing the documents, which
I believe may tell a very interest
ing story"
Since being brought to Wash
ington, the records have been
locked in committee storeroom
awaiting the return of Chairman
McCarran of the subcommittee.
Senator McCarran, who is in
Nevada. is expected back next
week. Before he left the SUBJ
committee reporUedly adopted a
resolution pledging each member
and the groups staff to secrecy
regarding the IPR documents.
Despite that action. some of the
documents reportediy have fallen
into the hands of persons out
side both the subcommittee and
the IPR.
Leak" Before Seizure Feared.
One subcommittee member,
who asked not to be named, said
the group is very much dis
turbed" by what he. termed pretty
clear indications the documents
were examined and the contents
to. some extent leaked" before
they were seized last week.
Who may have obtained access
to them before the raid, other
than IPR officials, is one Of the
things the committee wants to
find out. this member said.
He added that the subcommittee
staff analysis of the documents
may take two or three months.
