When December weds May
what will the result be? Should
a girl marry a man who is al
most old enough to be her father?
This question, asked by Miss l.,

of high school and one of my
teachers wants to marry me. To
give you the facts. I'm barely 19
and he's 35-a widower. no chill
dren, is of good character, every
body likes and admires MIN and he
has a good job. He would make a
good husband. I'd say. But my
parents and a lot of other people
are making a big fuss. They say
he's Is years older than I en-
old enough to be my father. Do
I want to be an old mans darling I?
say. Yes. do But I need some
moral support. DR.. Popenoe. Do
you see any reason why shouldn't t
marry this MANI"
Some such marriages turn out
very well, Miss l.; some don't.
In the same mail with your letter
was one from Mrs. L., who could
give you some useful information.

my marriage for 20 years; that
is, since the day I was married. "
she begins. She goes on to say
that because her husband was Is
years older than she, he settled
all differences of opinion that
arose and his judgment was al
ways supposed to be correct. She
was lust a kid" But now she
is 35 and a mature woman with a
great deal of experience in life
and she thinks her opinions should
receive some consideration. How
ever, her husband still can't forget
that she is younger and, there
fore, must be treated like a child
That's something to think
about, Miss I. Here are a few
more things to think about:

Democrats Hear
Mrs. Kennedy

Mrs. Mabelle Kennedy, Assist
ant Treasurer of the United
States. warned members of the
Women's National Democratic
Club yesterday that they are
'faced with a bitter campaign"
She urged them to give a good
accounting" of themselves, how
ever, and predicted: '"The reward
for your service will be a better
tomorrow-not only for yourself
and your neighbors. but for all
the peoples of the world"
Mrs. Kennedy, who spoke at a
club luncheon. said she was proud
Of the Democratic Party.
She also paid high tribute to
President Truman, declaring that,
with the passage of time, he
would be ranked as lone of our
great Presidents.
But it is not enough to believe
in the things for which the DEM
ocratic Party stands, she con-
tinued. "If we are to discharge
our responsibilities of citizenship
we must not only know and un-
derStand the issues of our times
we must impart to others the
knowledge of which we are pos
sessed." she declared. "This is
the great mission that lies ahead
of each and every one Of you"
Mrs. Kennedy, whose topic was
"Women's Place in the World To-
day" expressed the opinion that
as much progress has been made
in representative government in
the 80 years women have had the
vote as was made by the Nation in
the balance of its history. II do
not know for a certainty that we
have been entirely responsible,
but 1t is certainly more than COIN
cidence that this has occurred. .
she declared.
Mrs. Kennedy was introduced
by Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark,
Treasurer of the United States.

dent, opened the meeting.

the FBI Since most police departments send
fngerprints to Washington only in the more
serious crimes the gravity of the youth crime
problem is evident. The ordinary run of juvenile
delinquents are not fingerprinted in most cities.
The FBI bulletin did not attempt to assign
reasons for the rise in serious crimes among
youth. However, it named number of factors
that bear on the crime situation in general in
addition to the usual factors of police strength,
efficiency of prosecution machinery and effec-
tiveness of the courts. Given high Importance
as preventive factors were educational, recrea-
tional and religious facilities and attitude of
the public toward law-enforcement problems !"
The public, of course, is largely made up of
parents. If parents themselves are lax in assum-
ing their responsibilities, they are in poor posi-
tion to blame laxity by law-enforcement authori-
ties for the spread of lawessness among the
younger generation.

TRAGEDY of Our Times

The most shocking part Of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigations annual report on national
crime trends was that which revealed the preva-
lence of lawlessness among the youth Of the
Nation. In releasing the summary, FBI Director
Hoover appropriately described this situation as
"a tragedy of our times" The extent OF the
tragedy was revealed by an analysis OF finger
print records covering arrests for 1851.
The analysis showed that more persons of
% were arrested last year than of any other
age. Fingerprints of 30,625 of these young men
and women were sent to the FBI for identifica-
ton during the year. The second highest group
was composed of 22-year- offenders, of which
there were 29,996. Next in order came those
who were 81. "a, 18, 10 and 20. Persons under
81 represented 144 per cent of all persons ar
rested last year. There was an increase In
arrests of 18-year r-olds of ~ per cent in 1851
over 1850. Although persons under Is consti-
tuted only 20 per cent of all persons arrested,
this age group committed more than half of all
the serious crimes against property namely
robberies, burglaries, larcenies and automobile
theftS.
Even more startling were the statistics
showing the number of repeaters among the
Younger criminals. For example, As per cent
of the 26,273 2O-year-olds lngerprinted for
crimes last year had police records on file at

wage-earners alike, and has nothing to
do with whether management or labor
is right or wrong in this specific instance.
In the latter part of the last century
this Nation was faced with danger quite
similar to that facing us today. Only at
that time the extortionists were the
large nonopolistic companies. These
could control the markets and dictate
their own terms. They were all-powerful
and it became a question as to whether
our democracy could survive or would
become the vassal Of a stockholders
dictatorship.
The problem was met Squarely and
courageously by passage Of antitrust
laws (Which still need strengthening) i.
The principle that monopoliStic control
of an industry was dangerous to the
public welfare was recognized.
Now we are faced by a similar danger.
This time the extortionistS are giant
monopolistic labor unions, which have
become law unto themselves and which
can call the tune for entire industries
for the entire Nation.
We must make unions subject to anti
trust laws. In the long run, this is the
only way in which the public interest
can be protected and free enterprise
dncluding the right to strike) be
preserved.

Red China Lobby?

The true history of Chinese-American
relations is of considerable magnitude
There are many reasons why the task
Of clarifying its Importance to the
United States should be undertaken.
The most important one is: The Amer
lean people have every right to know
the whole unabridged truth.
This being so, would we not be less
than prudent if the role played by
publications which seem to "lean to
consider them as an important facet
OF this complicated record?
The stock-in- trade of such publica-
tions is perverted semantics. Possibly
because we really know next to nothing
about the real Chinese people or China,
we are inclined to accept the assump-
tions that imply the Chinese people
were and are behind the Red regime in
Peking. which is not true.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
the uninformed reader is frequently
taken in by what strangely parallels
"the party line" despite the deadly
lesson we are being given in Korea. The
