DEAR MISS NISSEN: Can
love at first sight last? While
on a cruise I met a man six years
my Junior II am 39) and we fell
desperately in love. At the end
of the To-day cruise we were en-
gagged. Our homes are several
hundred miles apart, and I have
promised to give up my job and
move to his home town. I'm
quite sure that what I'm doing
is right. I have been a widow for
several years, have no close ties,
and just never felt as happy as
I do now. Do you think our
chances of happiness are good?
LEILA.
ANSWER: Certainly any one
who can write as ecstatic a let
ter as you have penned is with
out doubt very much in love. If
your cruise mates feelings
match yours. you have a better
than-average chance of happi-
ness, in spite of the minor OBJ
stacles. Just be sure to peek a
bit into his background and
make certain it's strictly accord
ing to Hoyle. Lots of luck.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: We
were married four years ago
when my wife was II and I, %.
We have two children. My
mother-in-law objected to the
marriage from the beginning;
now she has persuaded her
daughter to leave me and re-
turn home.
I am not supposed to see my
wife or children, yet my mother
in-law went to court to get sup
port for them. On the few oc-
casions when I have managed to
see my wife for a few minutes,
she has begged me not to get
a divorce and has promised that
she won't divorce me. How can
I break this hold of a mother
over her daughter?-FRED S.
ANSWER: Appeal to the same
court that ordered you to sup
port your family. Ask somebody
to get your wife alone, talk to
her, and try to convince her that
you-not mamma-are entitled
to her first allegiance. Then get
a job as far as possible from
your mother-in-law and estab-
lish new home for your family.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I've
been married IA years and have
three children. I always thought
my husband had been decent
when married him. but week
ago he told me he had affairs
with two other women before
our marriage. Don't you think
he should have kept this to him.
self. He's hurt me very much
and I feel that all the happiness
of our marriage is gone.
DELLA K.
ANSWER: Were your husband
a wise man he most certainly
could have kept this information
to himself. Undoubtedly now he's
very sorry that he didn't. But
aren't you being a bit foolish,
too, to let something out of the
past spoil your happy present?
Be thankful for your fine hus-
band, and be grateful that you
can exercise the divine gift of
forgiveness.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I have
two teen-age boys. The older
one is IA and is asking if he
can go on dates. Since he knows
absolutely nothing about life, I
hesitate to give him permission.
My husband works nights and is
with the boys very little, so it's
up to me to tell him what he
should know. Can you recon-
mend some books that will give
him the right approach to life?
MRS. E.
ANSWER: I doubt very much
if your son has reached IA with

than you realize. Perhaps this
knowledge hasn't come to him
through the right channels, so
you may have many wrong ideas
to straighten out. However, it's

Why House Has Two-Yeur Term
F. ]. o.

President Eisenhower tells us that
the election Of Democratic Congress
this year would lead to "cold war
between the Executive and Legislative
branches of the Government.
It seems to me that the President is
out of step with the men who drafted
the Constitution Of the United States
When they provided that the Pres
ident's term should run for four years
and the members of the House of Rep
resentatives for only two years, they
must have foreseen that there would
be occasional splits between the Execu-
tive and the Legislative.
I suspect that the founding fathers
thought it more important to give the
people a chance once every two years
to express themselves on the progress
Of the Government. Evidently the
drafters of the Constitution did not
think that it would do any great harm
to have the two branches controlled by
opposite parties. Otherwise they would
have made the House terms run for
four years along with the Presidents.
Personally, am glad they gave us
the two-year break. I am not pleased
with the present state of affairs and ]
intend to vote for every Democrat I
can find on the ballot in Montgomery
County. A Democratic Congress would
make the Republican department heads
think twice before perpetrating some
Of their outrages. It would also put
foreign policy on necessarily bi-par-
tisan basis, which is where it ought to
be any way. Mathilde Lee.

Con U. S. Keep q Secret?

Twice in this century aggreSSorS have
broken out of Europe to challenge
allied control of the seas. Nazi SUBJ
marines came within an ace of turning
the trick in World War II. Some naval
experts believe Hitler would have sue
ceeded had he had enough underwater
craft at the beginning of the war. To-
day the allies are again faced with an
ominous submarine menace. Russia is
said to have fleet of $50 subs, seven
times the number Hitler had at the
commencement of the war. Russia by
a wide margin is the worlds leading
submarine power.
A report from Washington that our
scientists have discovered a foolproof
process to end the submarine menace
rivals the news of the H-bomb's dis
covery. In the race for military SUI
premacy this country has once more
forged ahead. Soviet naval power has
been set back on It's heels. But in the
Kremlin there will be an agonizing ap-
praisal Of the development. Undoubt-
edly that will result in an all out at
tempt to steal the secret process and
neutralize it's effect. Thus guardian
ship of our security information may
be tested as never before.
The big question before the American
public is whether we can hold the
secret. Subversives loom up again as
menacing factor of high potential. Will
there be Rosenbergs to fitch this one?
Will one-world scientist pass it over
to the Reds? To ask these questions
is to wonder whether our political soft
pedaling of subversion, our anti anti
Communist movement or our frustra-
ton of investigating committees will
pay off in once more losing vital
secret to the Russians. The loss this
time could be fatal to our control of
the seas and all the hopes Of the West.

BECAUSE

AS Henry Drummond and all the
princes of the spiritual realm have seen
clearly. the greatest thing in the uni
verse Is love. The most stupendous
revelation ever unveiled to the mind
of man Is: God is love.
The supreme potency Of the Cross
lies in the fact that it Is the universal
symbol of suffering love. There hate
did its worst and love its best. One
of Americas best-known preachers re-
Gently said to. his great congregation:
Sometimes from our mad world where
men so trust in force come into this
church alone and look at the cross
above the altar. It seems to say to

represent the crucifixion of love by
mem Of violence. But long ago they
passed away, and still am here. wait
ing. There is no way out Of human
misery but by love. Whoever believes
in violence believes in God who can
not create or organize anything perma-
nent. In the long run 1t is only love
that does not fail"
Now this invincible force as 1t moves
God and man cannot be analyzed or
measured. Literally it passes under
standing. It scorns to stay within the
boundaries of any ones diagram. It
laughs at any computations Of nicely
calculated lessor more. It pays no
attention to arithmetic. For love, even
the second mile is but the starting
place for the lengths to which it will
go. A disciple of the One whom the
ages have called Loves Best Love
thought he had sensed revolutionary
possibility when he asked If forgive
ness might be stretched as far as
seven times. It was Love answering
from the lips of the Master in the
reply: Love will go 70 times seven"
OF course, mere logic is outraged by any
such reasonable patience as that.
When logic, clothed in the somber
garb of reason. corners love and de-
mands that it explain its prodigal pro-
cedure, the vocabulary of love has but
one word which throws any light on
its working-that word. because. Love,
human or divine, never is able to ex-
plain itself or account for its actions.
And the only explanation Of a sacrifice
willing to span any gulf, to descend to
any depth, or to ascend to any CAL
vary, is Because.
That often has been called woman's
reason. Well, what Of It? A contempo-
rary writer who is q proved prober of
souls declares: Because is the oldest
reason, and the safest reason, and by
far the strongest" Then he adds

At the Opposite Poles

Two of the worlds most influential ana
most controversial political f1gures-bitter
enemies of each other-have disclosed plans
for their retirement from public life They
are Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan OF the
Union of South Africa and Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru of India
Dr. Malan's decision to surrender his
Office on November 80 was announced to
his Cabinet this week. The decision, he said,
Is irrevocable. There is not the same f1nal1ty
in the case of Pandit Nehru, but after sew
eral spoken hints of retirement plans he
has now addressed circular letter to some
of his Congress Party associates declining
to run again for president of the party when
his term expires in December and adding
that it may be better for him not to serve
further as Prime Minister.
There are few men on the top level Of
world politics whose service and careers
will be more difficult to evaluate than those
of Dr. Malan and Pandit Nehru.
The former, originally minister OF
the Dutch Reformed Church, turned to
politics in 1915 and first became Prime
Minister in 1948. He has been grim and
uncompromising fighter for apartheid,
progr IN by which only the white residents
of the Union would be first class citizens
and there would be segregation at all levels
of activity. The Indian residents Of South
Africa, of lhom there are many, are among
those subjected to DR.. Malan'S policies OF
discrimination and 1t is on this racial issue
that he and MIR. Nehru became bitter foes.
DR.. Malan's second major political objective,
a controversial one also, Is to make South
Africa an independent republic, outside the
British Commonwealth.
On the world stage, Mr.. Nehru is even
better known and Of much greater influence
outside his own country than is DR.. Malan.
A leader in the Indian independence move
ment, he has been Prime Minister since the
country was born in 1947. Much Of South
Asia today looks to his leadership and fol-
lows the "neutraliSt" course which he has
set for India In the cold war between the
Communist and non-C Communist powers.
It Is natural, Of course, that the pros
pect of these strong political leaders with
drawing from their present activities should
arouse immediate speculation as to their
successors. To degree, each of the pair
has been such dominant figure in his
country and political party that there Is
no certainty as to who Is to follow. In any
case, the really important question is
whether the highly controversial policies
which have become the political trademark
Of each Of these two men will be carried on
by others.
