Problems
Today
Husband Seeks
Divorce From
Deserter Wife
By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Seven
years ago I married q divorcee
with two children. She wouldn't
let me adopt the children. but
permitted them to stay with their
grandmother, who lives quite q
distance from our home. We
visited them once q year. Two
years ago my wife went back to
see them. and extended her visit
month by month. Twice I sent
her the money to come home. but
she kept putting me OF. and still
hasn't returned. She hasn't even
written in several months. Now
I have met a girl with whom 7
have fallen in love, and I'm sure
she returns my affection. My
problem is whether or not am
within my rights to divorce my
wife. My friends tell me I have
been patient long enough.
FRED D.
ANSWER: Since you have
quite clearly been deserted by
your wife. you certainly are with
in your legal rights to bring a
divorce action. I would suggest
further discussion Of the matter
with your pastor, If you have q
church affiliation, and certainly
with a lawyer.
You are definitely entitled to
an explanation Of your wife's
long silence. II she refuses to
answer your letters. and II q
trip to see her Is not feasible,
have a lawyer contact her.
That you fell in love with
someone else is not surprising.
You were left in q very vulner-
able position for an attack from
Cupid'S bow. I do strongly urge.
however, regardless Of the justi-
flcation for your new romance.
that you let it remain In the
background until you have
Strengthened out your marital
difficulty. Your life Is sufficiently
tangled at the moment; don't
add to its confusion.

Requests for everything from
q marriage match with Daugh-
ter Margaret to cash. clothing
and ambasSadorships were re-
ceived in former President Tru-
mans personal mail bag, his
former correspondence secre-
tary. Mrs Joseph Short, revealed
yesterday.
The widow Of Mr.. Truman's
press secretary, Mrs. Short
served as correspondence and
research secretary to the former
President from shortly after her
husband died until the end Of
the last administration.
She read samples of Mr.. Tru-
mans mail, with his permission,
at a luncheon meeting Of the
Women's National Democratic
Club.
President Truman, she said,
received an average Of $4,000
letters a week, which shot up to
the 100000 mark on such con-
troversial subjects as the Mac
Arthur firing or the Taft-Hart-
ley Act.
Her first reaction on reading
the Presidents mail, Mrs. Short
said. was "amazement that the
people felt as close to the Presi-
dent as they did"
Strangers throughout the
country. she revealed, thought
of the President as father, buddy
or close friend, while others were
awed by his Office.
Personal items were in great
demand, Mrs. Short said, with
hundreds Of requests coming in
for the Presidents neckties,
socks and handkerchiefs. These,
she added. were turned down.
Many citizens wrote to the
President asking to borrow mon
ey. for advice on business in
vestments. to tell the President
they shared the same birthdate,
and even for help in making
me homecoming queen"
One Baltimore resident, in a
neighborly fashion. asked the
President, via letter. "if I could
come over and spend a week end
with you. I like to get the feel
Of things, and I'm sure We would
enjoy each other"
Most Of the letters, Mrs. Short
said, fell into the category Of
sad, funny, disheartening or full
Of problems.
A staff room with specially
trained secretaries was main
tanned to reply to such stock
questions as What does the S.
in Harry S. Truman stand for?'
On the amusing side, a TO-
year-old Texas farmer outlined
his qualifications and willingness
to serve as the Ambassador to
Russia, and a doting father sent
the President copies of letters
he had written to his son in
Korea advising him that, Mar
garet is one of the incest girls

by chiefs to discuss with the man
ayers of such services for the
transmission of fire alarms, which
would provide a 24-hOur-a-day

Organized in Island Hall.
Sixth Presbyterian Church
was organized on January %,
1858, in Island Hall, Sixth and
D streets S.W. But the origin
of the congregation goes back to
1852, when a small group at
tended services in the home of
Mrs. Amanda Thompson on
Maryland avenue near Sixth
street S.W.
The first step to form a con-
gregation was taken November
IA, 1852. when the group met in
Island Hall under the leadership
of the Rev. Mason Noble. Mr..
Noble became the first pastor.
Ground for a church at Sixth
and c streets N. w., was broken
in June, 1853: The completed
building was dedicated on Febru-
airy 25, 1855.
The congregation moved to
it's present site in 1916 under
the leadership of DR.. Douglas P
Birnie, stated supply pastor. The
property was bought that year
and the original cornerstone was
relaid there in December.
Chapel Dedicated in 1880.

DR.. Godfrey Chobot, 1924-35,
and was dedicated on March 9,
