Problems Today
By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Eight
years ago when I was married,
I knew my husband did not love
me. He was desperate with grief
and loneliness over the death of
his first wife. I had known him
well years before, and frankly, I
figured this was my "last
chance" He was SO, and I was
80. I told myself it would work
out, but almost from the begin
ming I knew I had made a mis-
take. About two years ago he
told me he had fallen in love
and asked for his freedom. Al
though I knew the other woman
was a fine person and would I'M
doubtedly be a good wife to him.
my pride was badly hurt and !
refused him fatty. AS you can
imagine, this has been an I'M
happy house since. Am right
in hanging on to him? We have
no children.
ANSWER: There really doesn't
seem much chance Of happiness
for either of you together Yours
was a loveless marriage; you
mention that your husband
didn't love you, and you strongly
imply that your feeling for him
wasn't too deep emotionally. He
should have had a longer period
of readjustment after his first
wife's death, before considering
second marriage, but that's a
mistake that many grief-stricken
widoWers make. If there's moth
ing at all holding you together,
except your own hurt pride, you'd
better let him go. Try separa-
ton for a while and see if he
still wants his freedom. Talk
the matter over with your clergy
man before making final de-
cision. Your marriage certainly
has not been entirely wasted
You provided a very comforting
interlude. and perhaps saved
him from a much more tragic
marriage. You made an honest
and sincere effort to create q
happy home, and the fact that
you failed isn't your fault en-
tirely. Marriage without mu-
tual love seldom is successful;
there's always the possibility that
one or the other partner will
eventually fall in love with some

a broken heart.
DEAR MISS N1SSEN: I am
very concerned about my best
friend. Hilda. We are both 16,
but while I am interested in boys,
she says she isn't. I have coaxed
her to double -date with me, but
she refuses. She claims she'd
rather be home listening to the
radio. She's pretty, too, which
makes it all the more strange.
A. L. S. j.
ANSWER: Hilda is probably
just a bit slower in getting
around to the boy-friend stage
than you were. Give her time,
and stop worrying over her. The
fact that at Is a girl doesn't
care for dates isn't proof positive
that she'll always be that way.
Suddenly, she'll meet a boy who
attracts her. and your worries
will be over. In the meantime,
don't try to run other peoples
lives for them.

Mr.. Gilbert Guide, one Of the
newer members of the State
Legislature from Montgomery
County. and Mrs. Guide. are plan
ming a late sumner vacation. They
will leave early in August.
AS yet they are not quite sure
Of their destination. They may
go along Lake Champlain to
RouSes Point and then cross into
Canada. or they may cross the
New England States into the
country around the upper st.
Lawrence.
But In spite Of all the details
involved in planning a trip, Mrs.
GUIDE has still had time for a
little entertaining. She had at
least two parties during the past
week, and who knows-she might
even have another party before
she leaves.
Tuesday, she and Mr.. GUIDE
were hosts at cocktail party
in honor of Maj. Joseph F. H.
Cutrona and Mrs. Cutrona,
whose last address was Fort Sill.
Okla. Maj. Cutrona has been
transferred from Fort Sill to his
new tour of duty in Korea, and
he and Mrs. Cutrona are here
for a few days before he leaves.
Mrs. Cutrona is the former

the guests at Mrs. Guides party
were young women whom both
Mrs. Cutrona and her hostess
knew when they were students
at Georgetown Visitation Con-
vent and at Trinity College.

Mrs. Cutrona and their chill
dren will remain in Washington
On Wednesday Mrs. Guide had
20 guests at luncheon. Mrs.
James Bronson was assistant
hostess and Mrs. Guide took
them to Four Winds, the home
of Mr.. Guides father and mother,

Adlai Stevenson made what
looks like a curious suggestion
to President Eisenhower. The
former presidential candidate
says he would like to see the
United States sign a nom
aggression pact with Soviet
Russia.
Does this mean that Mr..
Stevenson believes it necessary
for the United States to make
a pledge that hereafter it will
not commit acts of aggression
against Soviet Russia? Has the
United States ever been guilty
of aggression heretofore? In
the eyes of Stain, Vishinsky,
Mao and the rest of the Com
munists, the United States
crossed the 38th Parallel in
Korea with other members of
the United Nations and COM
mitted acts of ssion
against the So-called peoples
government in North Korea.
Mr.. Stevenson says the
objective of the proposed non
aggression pact would be "to
deprive Soviet Russia of the
peace propaganda it now has
and put them on the spot as
to their intentions. But if
the United States agrees mot
to commit acts of aggression
any more"-as the Soviet
propaganda will phrase it
the step will be tantamount to
pleading guilty, of course, to
an absurd accusation.
The former Illinois Cover
nor isn't quite sure whether his
suggested pact of non -aggres-
sion would include just Great
Britain, France, the United
States and Soviet Russia, or
whether it would include all
the countries behind the Iron
Curtain as we'll as such hypo-
thetical aggressors as now are
known as members of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization.
The President is reported to
have shown an interest in
what Mr.. Stevenson proposed
and also to have listened in
tently to the story of what the
former presidential nominee
found on his trip around the

Turks Take to Western Wovs
Absorb American knowledge and Skill Quickly, but
Ihey1II Need u S. Heavy Equipment for Years

to an infantry role; Turks of
special ability are learning to
fly and operate every type of
modern weapon. Some things
are not being attempted. The
small Turkish navy, backed by
the Mediterranean fleet, can
do a job at the Bosporus end
of the vital sea and NATO
commanders believe it need not
be enlarged.
Gen. Shepard says that the
best part of the job here is
that you can see so much ac-
compliShed, once a Turk be-
comes convinced it is neces-
sary. Their roads at first were
terrible and they were proud
Of it. They had not been in
actual war with anybody since
they bet on the loser in World
War I; their story was that
if the Turks couldn't travel
the roads, the Russians couldn't
either.
However, the Turks knew
that Americas industrial might
turned the tide of World War
II and when they got a good
look at production for modern
war they went straight to work
on their roads. Pragmatic,
first, last and always-when
they saw all the other desirable
effects of good roads, they con-
tinued building them.

The Constitutions Blind Spot
Ratification of Bricker Amendment Urged as Assurance
Against Subvertine Bill of Rights by IT, N. Charter

Nations shall promote: (a)
higher standards of living, full
employment and conditions of
economic and social progress
and development; (b) solu-
tions of international eco
nomic, social. health and re-
lated problems; and interna-
tional culture and educational
cooperation; (c) universal
respect for, and observance of,
human rights and funda-
mental freedoms for all with
out distinction as to race, sex,
language or religion.
Article 56 provides that all
members pledge themselves to
take joint and separate action
in cooperation with the or
ganization for the achieve
ment of the purposes set forth
in Article SIS.
All that is needed to effect
these purposes is another New
Deal Congress. It could inn
pose a completely Socialistic
state upon the people. In the
Charter there is a tremendous
grant of power not authorized
by the Constitution, so great
that it might change the
American way Of life. This
power can be exercised today
without amendment of the
Constitution so we can do in
directly what cannot be done
directly.
Congress can, If it so de-
Sires, implement the Charter
to provide control of all edu-
cation, public and private; reg
ulate and control all COM
merce: establish rules and reg
ulations for the control of
public health; establish GER
tain criteria for a certain
standard of living, establish an
arbitrary system OF full en-
ployment; and it could provide
for the Federal ownership OF
all public utilities engaged in
interstate commerce. 1t would
be possible to control the pro-
duction Of all food and fiber
on the farm and such indus
trial production deemed in the
public interest.
Advocates of a planned
economy could have a field day
with the right kind Of men in
the Congress.
All this may sound fantastic
and it is, but it is clearly a
possibility under the United
Nations Charter. The Attorney
General of the United States
thinks so, for he has testified
that the Charter provisions
are obligatory upon the United
States. He said before a Senate
Committee: "a notable ex-
ample is Articles SIS and Sc of
the United Nations Charter,
obligating the parties to pro-
mote stated social and eco
nomic objectives and pledging
themselves to take joint and
separate &C tion' for the

Stevenson Talks to Eisenhower
Former Governors Idea for Pact With Russia Suggests
That America Has Been Guilty of Aggression

produce adverse reactions. His
reasons as he gave them to
the press are these:
1. We have friends abroad
and must be very careful that
they understand always that
we have one intention
namely, peace. We don't want
war, and any one with his war
experience would put war at
the very last of any possible
solutions to the worlds diff
ficulties.
2. The President thinks the
only possible tragedy greater
than winning a war would be
losing it. Just war should be
ruled out of the calculations
of all us and we should proceed
from there.
3. Now America wants all
her allies to understand
thoroughly that, because we
have to take rudimentary pre-
cautions. for our own security,
we will not quail from any
sacrifice necessary to provide
that security If you don't look
out, these intentions are mis-
understood and badly mis-
understood.
4. Some of our friends say
we are pugnacious and inpul-
sive or we have lost faith in
the conference table. Those
things are far from the truth.
s. Another thing is that you
don't want to frighten any one
to death in the world. Fright
ened people cannot make good
decisions. So you have to
understand the strength of the
free world and the strength of
America at the very same time
that you are weighing also our
dangers and our risks.
This is but another way of
saying that talk about the de-
structiveness of the H-bomb
could frighten European peo-
pies and drive them into ap-
peasement policies. Likewise,
if too much emphasis is placed
on what might happen to our
side, it may be overlooked that
the free world can deliver
retaliatory blows as we'll.
The formula is still one of
threat and counterthreat.

world. It is natural for Gen.
Eisenhower to be polite about
such things and to do so in the
interest of a bipartisan front
in handling foreign policy.
But at the same time the
Nation is getting a rather con-
fused impression as to what
the Eisenhower administration
really has in mind in the mat
ter of world policy, especially
as it relates to Soviet Russia.
There is a feeling that the
President has been unable to
formulate a definite policy
about what to do as a conSe-
quence of the development of
the hydrogen bomb by Soviet
Russia. From Gen. EiSen-
hower's press conference on
Wednesday came the following
official information:
l. The knowledge that the
Russians have the bomb is,
of course, an acute problem
for the Defense Department.
2. This is causing more earn
est study than anything which
has happened lately.
8. When the President can
get sorted out in his own mind
and with his advisers exactly
how the Government here
should approach this whole
subject and it's interrelation-
ship with the international
situation, the relief of tension
in the world and the growing
destructiveness of the worlds
armament-when he can get
that all Strengthened out-he
expects to go before the Amer
ican people and tell them
about it. He will be very frank
in telling them the facts on
which his studies have been
based and the conclusions
which he and the administra-
ton have reached.
The foregoing doesn't sound
as if the American Govern
ment has any plan or program
to deal with the Communist
menace except to deal with
each new situation as it arises.
The President feels he should
not say anything in his forth
coming speeches that might
