which her family says she has
a decided talent.
DR.. Popenoe. who believes
that every homemaker should
have an interest outside Of the
home, encourages her art work.
How did he happen to go
into the field Of marriage
counseling?
Former Editor
DR.. Popenoe said he became
interested in social biology
when, as a young newspaper
man, he took a job in 1918 as
editor Of the Journal of He
redity, which is published here.
Then he became concerned
about the growing divorce rate.
Il began to realize" he said,
shat if we were going to pro-
mote a sound population, we
would not only have to get the
right kind Of people married,
but we would have to keep
them married.
In 1880. that conviction led
him to establish the American
Institute Of Family Relations
as a nonprof1t organization to
promote successful marriage
and family life.
From a one-man operation
in its first few weeks it now
has a staff of about 100, in
GLIDING so counSelors and from
20 to 80 'interns."
"The institute is by far the
largest training center for
counselors in the country" he
explained. "A large number of
them are clergymen, some are
teachers and some are train
ing to become professional
counselorS."
One Of his pet campaigns is
for more education on family
relations in the school.
Such education doesn't have
to be limited to a single course,
he maintains. but should be a
part of practically every sub
ject.
Take literature, for in
stance" he said. Almost all
literature is concerned with
love, marriage or parenthood.
King Lear is a good study
in family disintegration.
Case Of Puppy Love
Then there's Romeo and
Juliet'-a beautiful case of
puppy love. And what a good
example Of the mistake a girl
makes when she doesn't con-
flde in her mother! If Juliet
had talked things over with
her mother. I am sure things

would have been worked out
and she would have had a
happy life, instead of COM
hitting suicide"
"A real juvenile delinquent! !"
Oliver Popenoe spoke up. ut
just goes to prove that the
younger generation isn't going
to the dogs any more now
than it used to-"
Any discussion in the Po-
pence family is apt to find
everybody taking a part
probably one result of family
councils"
But it doesn't necessarily
find the family in agreement.
Our family councils have
a way of ending up on poll
tics" David noted. dad and
mother are Republicans, but
the rest of us are Democrats. I"
"And 1 say, if I were a DEM
ocrat, they would be Repub-
hcans, Just to be contrary"
their father retorted.

prejudice against girls, but
even a biologist has to take

Russia Unofficially Asks
Japan If She Wants
To End State of War

TOKYO, R-Major newspapers
in Tokyo said Saturday Russia
has informed Japan unofficially
it wants to end the state of war
between the two countries and
exchange ambassadors at once.
Sources in the Foreign Minis
try, bypassed by the Soviet feeler,
said Japan will ignore any such
proposal unless it is advanced at
the deadloeked talks on the Rus
sia-Japanese treaty in London.
Russia sent word it may uni
literally declare World War II
with Japan at an end as early as
today-depending on Japan's re-
action to reported proposals that
ambassadors take over the Lon
don talks.
However, Prime Minister Hato-
yama and his party chiefs are
repeatedly standing pat on ia
pans primary demand that the
thousands of Japanese war prison
ers still held in Russia and GER
tain territory lost in World War
II to be returned before diplomat
ic relations are begun.

Quick Bowl of Soup for Breakfast
The Idea Is Sweeping the Country

WASHINGTON (SpeciaD-Over
the years, one of the great argu-
mentS in American life has been
whether dinner should be eaten
at noon or at night and conse-
quently, whether to have lunch or
supper additionally.
But breakfast is the trouble
some meal. Few of us seem to
have time for it-either to pre-
pare it or merely to eat it. And
even fewer, perhaps, can face a
plate of bacon and eggs at sun-up
with any eagerness. So we swal-
low a cup of coffee and we've
had it.
Or at least that is the way it
was-before this sculptor break
fast craze hit the country.
Nowadays, from the Everglades
to WallaWalla and from Catalina
to Eastport, the can-opener hangs
on the bedpost and the sound of
joyous slurping browns out the
chipping of the birds. For the adj
The Nome nugget., 1956-01-30

venturous, there's a different kind
of soup for every morning of the
month, and for the conservative
type the old favorite is always
available.
And if poppa wants hot but
tered pea soup and momma in
sistS on chicken gumbo, that's no
problem either-as long as they
don't lose the can-opener or for
get to pay the gas or electric bill.
No one could be happier over
this turn of events than the medi-
COS, who have been telling us for
years that breakfast is the most
important meal of the whole day,
biologically speaking. BY the
dawn's early light, they warn,
our systems have completely
burned up last nights fuel. There
is no steam on the boiler.
And cup of coffee won't pop
any valves or give us what is
needed for hours of smuggling at
desk or pick or throttle.
But soup-steamy, appetite
awakening, nvigorating soup,
with or without noodles, crackers
or ABCs-is the modern chal-
lenge to the steak and potatoes
and pie breakfasts on which our
forefathers built the worlds
greatest nation!

Governor Urges
Stong Support
Of Alaska Guard

The need and value of strone
support for the Alaska National
Guard was voiced last week by
Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman in
letters to Alaska chambers of
commerce and veterans organiza-
tons.
II should like to ask you to give
prominence" said the governor,
''to support of the Guard in your
program this year. Especially l
hope you will familiarize the citi-
zens of your locality with the SER
vice provided by the Guard; also,
l hope that the ex-servicemen
with reserve obligations and the
younger men of the 17-1812 age
class who are obligated to per-
form military service will be adj
vised of the possibility of enlist
ment in the National Guard"
Pointing up the defense aspects
and financial importance of the
Alaska Guard to the territory and
to each community, the governor
added: Your cooperation will be
highly appreciated by the men of
the Guard who are so unselfishly
working for the public defense
and the welfare of their commun-
tiles and the whole of Alaska"

Atomic Power May

cost of energy down to minimal
point for the distillation of (sea)
water" said Hopkins, chairman

Sees Seats
Of 'RudicuI Right
Senators ImperiIed
BY the Associated Press

The National Committee for
an Effective Congress, a political
action group, says that what it
terms the radical right" in
Congress can lose much and gain
little in the November 6 cleo
ton.
NCEC said in a statement
that five Republican Senators
lit places in that category are
lin peril" whereas sin only one
State is a radical right candi-
date bidding for a new seat"
The five G. o. P. Senators it
listed are Butler of Maryland,
Capehart of Indiana. Dirksen of
Illinois, Hickenlooper of Iowa
and Welker of Idaho. The can
didate referred to in the state
ment as seeking a new seat is
former Senator Chapman Rever-
comb, Republican of West Vir-
ginia, who is opposed by Demo-
cratic Gov. William c. Marland.
A committee spokesman de-
scribed the group as a channel
for campaign help to candidates
of both parties" whose views
are approved by NCEC. He said
the organization is strongly
internationalist."
Its advisory board includes
former Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles and News Com
mentator Elmer Davis.

Democrats Hold
Alaska Lead in
30 Of 80 Races

JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. II up.
l. Democratic candidates held
their leads over Republican OPP
ponents in all but a few con-
tests today as returns from Tues
days territorial election slowly
trickled in.
With most of the big populated
areas tabulated and 161 Of the
271 precincts reported, the Dem
ocrats were ahead in 80 of the
80 races. Some still were close
enough they could go Republic
can but not enough to upset
Democratic control of the legis-
lature and dominance in top
territorial elective positions.
The Republicans were strong
est in races for the territorial
Senate, apparently capturing five
seats and possibly six to the
Democrats three. Seven holdover
Democrats kept the Party in
control.
Bartlett Reelected
In the House race, Democrats
led for 81 seats and the Republic
cans three.
Easily reelected was E. L.
Bartlett, delegate to Congress,
who had piled up a 1857 to
'6.727 lead over Byron Gillian,
his Republican opponent.
Alaskans also apparently will
be represented by two Demo-
cratic United States Senators"
and one Representative" who
will go to Congress to work for
statehood. If it is granted dur
ing their terms they will take
their places in the Senate and
House. Ahead and gaining in
the six-year Senate race was for
mer Gov. Ernest Gruening. A
four-year term will be filled by
William Egan. Ralph Rivers was
elected Representative"
Discounted by 6. o. p.
The election attracted national
attention because the Territory's
early balloting has for years been
an accurate indicator of the ma
tional trend in the States.
Republican officials were in
lclined to discount the Signifl-
icance this year, however. Leon
ard Hall, national chairman Of
the party, said in Washington
the vote has mo significance in
connection with the national
elections, which responsible polls
show we are winning"
Adlai Stevenson, Democratic
presidential nominee, hailed the
results as 1.-THE best news since
the Maine election" He said it
lis one of the developments lead
ing to a Democratic victory in
