Mulenkov Tulks of
Friendship But West
Is Skepticol

Georgi Malenkov, premier
of Russia in his first official
address said yesterday that
there are no controversial is
sues between the Western
world and the Soviets that
cannot be settled successfully.
He specifically mentioned the
United States. There a S
prolonged applause. He reiter-
ated that the bonds of friend
ship between Russia a n d
China and also with the satel-
tie countries would be streng-
thened.
Western diplomats remem-
bered that similar words were
spoken by Stain. The State
Department indicates t h a t
deeds not words are the best
evidences of Russia's inten-
ton. Some Congressman feel
that Malenkov is merely using
communist tactics to lull the
Western world into a false
sense Of security, and urge the
western world to be on guard.

By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Many husband spends large
part of his life in the doghouse,
merely because he is an introvert
and his wife thinks he ought not
to be. She seems to believe that
enough limiting, prodding, COM
planning and denouncing on her
part will change his inborn ma
ture and constitution. She
would not expect to change his
brown eyes into blue by such a
method. She might as we'll re-
cognize that she is not going to
make an introvert turn inside
out, no matter how much she
pleads and expostulateS.
Mrs. r. complains that her
husband has no friends. He is
an introvert," she says. One of
the reasons why he married her,
no doubt, is that he thought she
would supply some of the valu-
able traits that he lacks. We
are all seeking in marriage to
get something we need. But his
wife isn't satisfed-she wants to
change him. Mrs. l., in similar
vein, writes at great length about
her husbands failure to appre-
ciate her rather frequent sar-
casm and wisecracks at his ex-
pense. She doesn't mean any,
thing by them and she thinks
it's very wrong for him to take
oftense or to sulk afterward. She
ought to know that introverts
are like that. ~
Here's simple rating scale by
which anyone can get a rough
measurement of a partners ten
dencies-or of his or her own:
l. He likes crossword puzzles.
2. He prefers to save money
rather than spend money.
3. He often rewrites his letters.
4. He has kept diary for more
than year.
5. He prefers to be by himself
rather than in a crowd.
s. He plans a job in detail be-
fore he starts it.
Z. He feels that one should be
slow about giving confidence to a
new friend.
8. He sticks to a job in which
he has lost interest merely be-
cause he thinks he ought to fin
ish anything that he starts.
9. He believes that haste
makes waste"
10. He does a good deal of
day-dreaming. of planning for

the future and of thinking what
he may be doing some years from
now.
If most of those are answered
YES" the subject is probably an
introvert. If almost none of
them gets a "Yes," you are prob
ably dealing with an extrovert.
The introvert's attention is, as
the name suggests, turned in
ward. He is thinking more about
what is going on in his own
mind, than about what is going
on outside. He is more inter-
ested in ideas than in people. He
is likely to be found among
brain-workers, creative artists, or
people occupied with details (ac-
countants, inspectors and the
like), rather than in salesman
ship, which is largely an extro-
vert job.
If you are married to an intro
vert, help him to make the most
of himself but don't think he is
going to change greatly. He
can't. He was born that way.

Recipe
Notebook
Ambrosio

An old-fashioned favorite is
"AmbroSia" - sliced oranges
sprinkled with shredded Coco
nut, fundamentally. But lots of
things may be done to change
the original theme a bit.
For instance, add thinly sliced
bananas to the orange and CO.
conut. Or mix in, fifty,
segments of grapefruit and Or
ange. Sliced fresh Strawberries
or shredded pineapple go we'll,
too. And, in season, fresh raSp-
berries. sliced peaches and cres-
cents of cantaloupe or melon
blend perfectly with the flavor
of the orange and the coconut.
For dress-up occasions. add a
dash of grenadine or creme de
menthe to the concoction. A
sprinkle of mint sometimes lends
added color and flavor. Just use
your imagination and perk up
the oldtimer-and you've a re-
freShing and very "au gourmet"
dessert for any meal.
