ness, as well as her own and her
husbands, are at stake.
1t is not uncommon for q
mother to refuse to let her
daughter assume her full role in
a household, and this is what is
happening here. Grandma just
refuses to recognize her daughter
as a capable mother, and refuses
to surrender her position as the
mother of a growing girl. That
position disappeared years ago
when her daughter married and
had children, but Grandma clings
to it by constantly criticizing
through expressions of pity and
odious comparison based upon
her motherless grandchild.
Grandma should be told by her
daughter very clearly that COM
ments are undermining both chill
dren. Moreover, Lois should be
assured that her parents under
stand and agree with her. It may
not be possible to change Grand
ma. but it is vital that Lois be
saved from her present feeling
that her parents do not sympa-
|thize with her.

Lois - Ever since can re-
member, and ! am now 10, my
grandmother has always made
me feel bad by comparing me
with my cousin. who is my own
age. My cousin lives with us be-
cause her mother died when she
was young and her father trav-
lels around the country. My
grandmother is always making
remarks that make me appear
as a spoiled child who is living
the life Of Riley, and is plying
May and praising her virtues.
Grandma visits at least once
q week and often stays over for
q few days at time. When that
happens, I feel like running away
from home. When I complain to
my parents, they scold me and
argue with me.
I have never known an in
stance where got something
that May didn't get, but I'm al
ways being told how lucky am,
as If I had done something
wrong in having both my par
ents. And I'm always being
scolded because I'm not affec-
Itionate enough with my cousin.
How can I be happy with her
when she is always being thrown
into my teeth?
Mrs. T. Sit is true that INV
mother has harped on my niece's
misfortune in losing her mother
$50 excessively that it gets into
my hair as well as my daugh-
ter's. I sympathize with Lois very
much and think she is right,
but I don't dare tell her she is
right, because that would be
disrespectful to my mother and
shake Lois regard for her whole
family.
My husband and have always
done our utmost to do every-
thing for May that we do for
Lois and to love the two girls
equally. This would be no prob
lem If Mother did not make us
all so self-conscious, but what
can we do?
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
I Lois mother is too resigned
and fails to realize the full ex-
tent Of the harm being done.
Grandma's unneeded interfer-
ence is not only making every
one feel elf-conscious; it is
threatening the happiness of all
concerned and possibly distort-
ing their personalities.
The basic trouble here is that
Grandma is not herself a wise
mother. She is, in effect, dis
putting position with her own
daughter. In her foolish and de-
structive comments she is inn
plying that her daughter is not
doing the right thing, and that
she should be the head of the
household.
Lois mother should not toll
lerate such destructive interior
Ience. She should realize that her

the Commissioners had been ad-
.vised by Chairman Harris that
he did not think the House
would vote for a public author
lily bill.
Commissioner Spencer said if
Congress enacted a measure pro-
|viding for a Treasury loan to a
private operator, the Commits
sioners would, of course, CO.
operate. Explaining this, he said
he thought the P. U. C. under
such circumstances would issue
a permit to a bidder otherwise
found qualified.
But Commissioner Spencer re-
iterated that it was the position
.of District authorities that in the
long run they felt better trans
portation service would be pro-
vided by a public authority.
Can't Get Buses
During Senate committee dis
cussions, Commissioner Spencer
stressed that unless an order is
placed with manufacturers very
promptly it will not be possible
to get enough buses built to pro-
vide even for a sort of limited
service after next August IA.
Negotiations conducted by
city officials. he said, indicated
that if orders were placed now,
the District could expect to get
about 400 buses by the deadline
date. He pointed out that there
would have to be rather limited
transit service for a month or
two. after August Is.
This, of course. is aside from
the possibility heretofore con-
sldered of condemning and TAX
ing over at least some of the
buses now being operated by the

ministration.
1t was brought out, however,
from a staff report already made,
that the SBA under the law
cannot make loans of the size
that would be needed to put a
new private operator in business
here.
The Senators were talking in
terms of one or more millions
of dollars.
Opened by Nicely
Senator Nicely, Democrat of
West Virginia, the chairman,
started the discussion by asking
if his colleagues were ready to
take action on the pending bill,
recommended by the District
Commissioners and members of
the Public Utilities Commission,
for creation of a public transpor-
tation authority to take over the
service when the Capital Transit
Co. goes out of service next
August.
There was immediate objec-
ton for several reasons. One
was that the House subcommit-
tee at the very same time today
was considering what to do
about the petition ofthe Kempel-
man group for a Government
backed loan.
Another point was that should
the District authorities come up
within a few days with final
decision on a reconsideration of
the kampelman group issue, the
Senate committee would look
silly if it acted today, without
knowing what the answer was.

write his name on the preference
ballot.
The Democratic Farmer-L Labor
organization is expected to hold
party members in the big urban
centers like Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and Duluth in line for Mr.
Stevenson. 1t is out among the
farmers that many may go to
| Senator Kefauver. The Farmers
Union, a growing and politically
active organization in this State,
while not wishing to cause a
bad rift in the Democratic
Farmer-Labor Party, may pro-
vide considerable strength for
Senator Kefauver.
1t is a fact, too, that many
Minnesota voters regard them
selves as independents. An esti-
mate by a political observer is
that the DF'L has 80 per cent of
the voters, the G. o. P. 30 per
cent, and that 40 per cent can
be rated independent of strong
party ties.
Mr.. Stevenson, under the tute-
I lage of Senator Humphrey and
other DFL leaders, has improved
in his campaigning among the
farmers. Even so, big. easy 60
ing, handshaking Estes Kefauver
seems to appeal to them. Both
candidates have had good crowds
wherever they have campaigned
While more and more interest
has been stirred up, the vote in
these primary elections is usu-
ally small compared to the vote
which turns up in November. In
1852, the total vote in the pres
idential primary was something
over 100000. But the vote in the
general election was more than

sional leaders. The White House
would not disclose anything
about the discussion.
Mr.. Hall talked with report
ers after comforting for half an
hour with Mr.. Eisenhower. He
said he did not discuss the vice
presidency with the President,
Refusing to disclose anything
specific about the conference
he said he gave the President
"a general report on operations

Asked if any G. o. P. leaders
had expressed to him an opinion
that Mr.. Nixon would be a liza
bllity on the Republican ticket
this year. Mr.. Hall said that on
the contrary "as far as the or
ganization is concerned Mr.
Nixon rates very, very high"
Pressed as to whether MIR.

his own situation Mr.. Hall said
the Vice President "sees no rea-
son" for a decision about his

G. o. P. Can Vote for Either
In the coming primary, it is
possible for Republicans to vote
for either Kefauver or Stevenson
delegates if they wish. All one
has to do is ask for a Democratic
ballot, or vote Democratic where
voting machines are used. 1t has
been suggested that some Re-
publicans might cross over to
vote for Senator Kefauver just
to make it embarrassing for Mr..
Stevenson Republican leaders
are frowning on such procedure.
-Four years ago Senator Ke-

nesota primary, but refrained
out of regard for Senator Hum

cratic presidential nomination

strength here then, for some
