at work late, though he had been
doing so occasionally for years.
"AS a result of her suspicious

Judge Rose related.
The upward spiral continued

PLY married man is no more
likely to fall for q femme fatale
than the honest man is likely to
join a gang of bank robbers
When a man does join a gang OF
bank robbers he already is dis
honest. When man falls for a
home wrecker he already is un-
happy.
This is the evidence of our
courts and marriage clinics.
Judge Clayton w. Rose. who in
Is years has seen some 10000
divorces through the Domestic
Relations Court in Columbus,
Ohio, has concluded. 1.-THE mar
riage is already on the rocks
when the other woman enters
the picture"
The other woman is a symp-
tom, rather than a cause. of the
discord which has set in. In
New York State, where adultery
is the only ground for divorce, an
"other woman" often has been
made up, or faxed, to meet legal
requirements.
Mannequin "Other Woman"
In one famous case business
man was divorced by his wife
on evidence that he had been
found in a hotel room with
a female identified only as
Gladys" Weeks after the di-
vorce the businessman saw his
former wife and asked, would
you like to meet Gladys?" He
took her into another room and
showed her Gladys, a show win
dow mannequin.
The other woman is rarely as
lifeless as that but often she is
equally nondeScript. She is more
likely to be other women"
rather than a particular woman.
Judge Harry Adams, arbiter of
thousands of marriage tangles in
Shelby County Court, Memphis,
Tenn, commented. when a man
gets to running around it's usu-
ally in the plural-with women.
They are very seldom the type
Of women he'd marry in any case.
They are just the type who are
willing to run around"
To this Judge Anna Kross,
founder of New York's famous
Home Term Court and now the
city's Commissioner Of Correc-
ton, added. when a man does
become involved with another
woman, in most cases he doesn't
love her-he Just uses her.
Usually he hasn't the slightest
idea Of marrying her. is as UNI
faithful to her as he is to his
wife. and quickly discards her
when she has served his purpose"
PsychiatriSts have adopted the
term Don JuaniSm" for the
character weakness which sends
men out searching for extra
marital conquestS. The doctors
see such behavior as a mask for
feelings of sexual inferiority or
even doubt as to ones masculin-
ity. Thus. in psychiatric terms,
the philandering husband is con-
stantly trying to reassure him
self that he is attractive to the
opposite sex, that he is phys
ically virile.
Thus the rowing husband is
essentially a man who is I'M
happy within himself, hence un-
able to be happy in marriage.
But that does not mean he
wants a divorce. He often is cru
cially dependent on his wife and
even cloves" her as far as he is
able to love. It is a child-like
rather than adult love. Judge
KrosS commented, "Such a man
squeals when he is threatened
with divorce"

Divorce Granted!
By Howard Whitmon

The "other woman" often is
looked upon as the major threat
to marriage, a principal cause OF
divorce. She is pictured as a cur
vaceous siren ever on the lure
for some happily married man,
ready to steal him from his wife,
wreck his homeland willing to
use any Of the many means ct
her disposal to gain her objective.

bidding. He never makes ran
dom, shot-in-the-dark opening

element of luck in opening leads
and, of course, Mr.. Masters
choice is not the correct one
every time. He may not always
be trying to accomplish the right
thing, but at least he is con-
sciously and thoughtfully trying
to accomplish something.
Let's follow his reasoning in
today's deal. Obviously Mr.. Abel
had a long and pretty good dia-
mond suit. He had bid diamonds
twice but had shied away from
no-trump. Apparently he didn't
have much in any other suit.
He had only reluctantly raised
hearts and there was a good
chance that he had only two
cards in that suit. The diamonds
would provide discards for Miss
Brash's losers unless dummy'S-
entries could be removed early.
Now if dummy's entries were
only in the diamond suit it
self.
With these thoughts in mind
and with the comfortable feel
ing that Miss Brash couldn't run
away with the hand since he
himself had the ace of trumps,
Mr.. Masters opened the nine of
diamonds.
The result was devastating.
Miss Brash won with the jack Of
diamonds and led trump. Mr..
Masters took the ace and fired
another diamond. At this point
the dummy was dead.
Miss Brash was not in a posi-
tion to discard losers on the dia-
monds because trumpS were still
outstanding. She couldn't pull
trumps and then enter the dunn
my because she had no more dia-
monds in her hand. On any
other opening lead she would
have had no difficulty bringing

Cobb once collaborated with
a leading playwright on a
dramatization of a group of

After each performance
Cobb made a curtain speech

more than $4,000 for every Amer
lean family of today"
He called for an end to ssthe
rash of fears that for so long have
haunted some of us-fear of war,
fear of unemployment, fear of our
selves, fear of the future" and
added:
Certainly, we know now that
one such fear-fear of paralyzing
depression-can be safely laid
away"
AS for the picture today, Eisen-
hover painted it this way:
without war, our economy is
working at near record levels. Over
81 million people have jobs. The
number is steadily increasing. The
hours of work are getting longer.
Consumers are spending at high
er rate than ever before.
Construction records are being
broken month by month. Wage
rates are at their all-time peak.
Weekly earnings in manufacture
ing are again on the rise.
Our people have more personal
income after taxes than ever be-
fore. Our national production sur
passes even the war peak wear of
1914. It is far above the levels of
1945 through 1882"
The President said "chaos and
economic despair" have been
avoided because, for one reason,
taxes were cut" by $7,4OO, OOO, 900
during his administration.
And he declared-as he has sew
eral times during the campaign
I'VE must continue to reduce the
cost OF government so we can have
more tax cuts"
Looking again to the future, Eli
senhower said the "most impor-
tant" thought he wanted to
leave with Americans sis that only
when We win the struggle for per-
manent peace can we devote the
full power of this mighty country
OF ours to the advancement of HUI
man happiness.
In his announcement of the new
jobleSs total, the President jumped
the gun on the normal government
for such reports. Since
the present system of joint re-
port by the Labor and Commerce
departments was instituted last
May, the figures for each month
have been issued between the 7th
and 10th of the following month.
In this case, that would have de-
layed the announcement until af.
ter next weeks elections.
