A. Roys do not worry bout
petty things like that as rule.
He'll just figure most girls are
dumb about sports anyway. Ask
him questions and he'll love it -
they all do. But don't query him
at some exciting point in the game.
1t is good id e too, not to
90 to the powder room at some
crucial moment like 4th down, u
yard to go. You'll not only annoy
your friend but everybody else in
the stands too. If you want to
avoid a black scowl, don't pow
der your nose when a man is run
ming for a touchdown - a sure
way to lose a sports enthusiast.
o. We are going out to dinner
after football game. Should
wear fancy dress or sports dress
to the game?
A. If you are going to a local
restaurant suit or sports dress
will be very suitable. If you wear
the dress and want to perk it up
you might put on a flashy pair of
earrings and necklace for the din
ner date. If the dinner party is
at a home you should ask the host
ess in advance whether people are
dressing for dinner or whether you
can aDnear on the scene directly
after the football game. If your
escort has extended the dinner in
vitation he might know the
"how-to-dress' answer.
0. Il 10y invites you to a
football game are you supposed
to save the time later for him if
he doesn't mention dinner? I have
been invited out by two boys -
one to the game and another for
dinner. I don't know what to do.
A. If the first boy hasn't men
toned dinner, perhaps you should
ask, him about the time you might
expect to be at home. Then he'll
probably say I can get you home
by or 6 or whatever the case may
be.

Juvenile Delinquency
Magazine Articles
Stir Senate .Furor

BY the Associated Press
A tempest boiled up today
within the Senate Juvenile De-
linquency subcommittee over the
action Of two staff aides In writ
ing magazine articles about the
groups work before its report Is
published.
Members were trying TO ar
range an early meeting to decide
whether Herbert w. Beaser,
chief counsel Of the subcommit-
tee, and Richard Clendenen, its
stan director, were justified or
should be required to walk the
plank.
Former Senator Hendrickson.
of New Jersey, newly nominated
by President Eisenhower to be
Ambassador to New Zealand. was
chairman Of the subcommittee in
the last Congress.
The subcommittee now has no
chairman. Members are frankly
upset because two of the Beaser
and Clendenen articles already
have been published in the Sat-
urday Evening Post before the
groups official findings have
been submitted to the Senate.
Differ on Permission.
Mr.. Beaser said in an inter-
view he and Mr.. Clendenen had
Senator Hendrickson's permits
sion to enter into a commitment
to write the articles, a series of
five.
THAT Ii not true" said Mr..
Hendrickson by telephone at his
home in New Jersey.
Despite all my warnings and
advice" he said. these two fell
lows insisted on going ahead"
He said that at one point he was
firmly resolved to chop their
heads off," but finally decided to
take 'the calculated risk" Of
keeping them on rather than
bringing in new aides.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
Of Tennessee, said he and other
subcommittee members were
very much upset. when they
learned about the articles after
they already had been written
and scheduled for publication.
Mr.. Hendrickson confirmed
that Senator Kefauver expressed
disapproval and he said Senator
LANCER, Republican, Of North
Dakota, another subcommittee
member. raised Cain about it."
The other subcommittee mem
Der. Senator Hennings, Demo-
crat. Of Missouri, said he too was
disturbed.
Seek to. Extend Life.
The subcommittee, set UP to
make a Nationwide investiga-
ton Of the causes and extent OF
Juvenile delinquency, is due to
expire January 81 but members
have urged that it be continued.
Mr.. Hendrickson said Mr..
Beaser and Mr.. Clendenen asked
him last fall If he was consider
ting writing anything about ju-
venile delinquency and he told
them he had talked to Harper's
about the possibility Of writing
q book. ss F
His thought, Mr. Hendrickson
said, was to turn over any profits
to some organization engaged in
youth work and not to make any
money for himself. He said he
also made clear he wasn't going
to write a book until the sub
committees report was COM
pleted.
Advised Holding or.
He said that soon after Mr..
Beaser and Mr.. Clendenen first
mentioned the magazine articles
to him, they told him they felt
they were pretty well commit
ted to go through with them"
He said he felt an ethical ques-
ton" was involved and advised
them to hold off.
After getting in touch with
other subcommittee members.
Mr.. Hendrickson said, II called
the boys and said they'd better
call 1t off," He said they told
him they did not know whether
they could.
