DEAR MISS NISSEN: Sew
eral months ago a friend of
longstanding suddenly stopped
talking to me. Though the rea-
son was a mystery for a long
time, I finally learned that my
mother. in an argument with a
third party, had reported me
as saying things I never said
about this lady.
My immediate dilemma is that
I will shortly attend a dinner
at which she and I, by virtue of
committee work we did last
year, will sit at the same table.
Our husbands also will be pres
ent. I feel I shouldn't go; my
husband does not agree with
me. Who Is right? Mrs. K.
ANSWER: Go to the dinner;
staying away is tantamount ITO
admitting you have Succumbed
to intimidation. The lady could
scarcely be so rude as to ignore
you in public. Judge from her
attitude what are her feelings
toward you, and take your cue
from her. At the end of the
evening, mention that she was
misinformed by the third or
fourth party who repeated idle
gossip, and that you hope the
misunderstanding can be cleared.
BY that time she will. undoubt-
edly, be quite ready to forget the

grievance. She may be Just
waiting for the right opportunity
to mend the breach.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: Dur
ing the 10 years Of our marriage,
my husband has made quite a
practice of bringing unexpected
guests home to dinner. I have
never objected, and have learned
to be prepared for all emergen-
cies--that is all except the one
that happened. The other night
when I was having expected
guests to dinner, my husband
brought in one of his cronies
who was obviously the worse
for drink. The man was most
discourteous. Naturally, my
husband and I had a bitter
argument after everyone left,
but I couldn't convince him he
was wrong in bringing his
friend home in such a condition.
Mrs. G.
ANSWER: You are a most
considerate hostess to take on
dinner guests at the last moment
and your husband should Ger
tainly have given your amiability
a better reward. There's no
question but that he was wrong.
You handled the situation in the
best possible manner, but apollo
gies are due you and the guests
who had to beat with the I'M
wanted individuals misplaced

Justice Department
Plans Routine Check
OF Times-He Sale

Attorney General Brownell
said yesterday the Anti Trust
Division of the Justice Depart
ment will send the Washington
Post a routine inquiry about its
merger with the Times Herald.
Mr.. Brownell told news
conference that the Justice. De-
partment makes such inquiries
about all mergers or transfers
of assets. regardless of the in
dustry in which they occur. Mr..
Brownell did not recall any Gov
eminent antitrust action that
resulted directly from merger of
newspapers.
The Attorney General said the
routine letters of inquiry asked
about terms of business trans
actions. Many times, he said,
the reply answers all questions.
If not, he continued, the pro-
cedure is to hold conferences
between. the Justice Department
and the business representatives.
The subject Of the Post
Times-Herald merger arose dur
ing a discussion of Republican
antitrust policies. Mr.. Brownell
said a special committee was
studying the overall problem
and that in the meanwhile he did
not want to discuss details. Gov
eminent antitrust suits, he said,
are being pressed only in what
he regards as clear-cut cases,

service. in view of living costs.
The Budget Bureau said it feels
per diem travel allowance should
be increased to at least Sill a day
for all Government workers on
official trips.
One of the main reasons for
the administrations attitude is
the complaint made by numerous
Republican officials over the
present SO a day travel maxi
mum. Many of these officials
came from private industry, with
virtually unlimited expense &C
counts. The fact that they are
now limited to SO a day gals
them.
Rank-and-file employees make
the same complaint, adding that
it is even harder for them to pay
for some of the travel expenses
out of their own pockets than it
is for the top officials. It's
pointed out that in many cities,
a hotel room alone costs at least
SO day.
