THE DETAILS

Stella-I am a widow with two
young children whose husband
has been dead more than five
years. I am approaching my
10th birthday and am past the
age of romantic love, but I want
a father for my children who can
give them a good home and help
with their future.
Since my husbands death /
have managed to provide an
existence of bare decency for my
children, but I have hopes Of
doing a little better in the future
as the children grow up and al
low me to give more time to my
work.
Recently, I met a man who is
quite well-to-do and has talked
to me about marriage. But he
seems to be a very posseSsive
man and wants me to behave as
though I were a girl deeply in
love. He is at least five years
older than I am, and find it
difficult to understand how he
can behave like an adolescent
and expect me to do the same.
I would like to marry him. but
I am afraid of trouble ahead.
GeOrge-Stella has had a grim
time taking care of her children
and doesn't really know herself.
She certainly does not look as
old as she talks. / am sure she
would feel much differently about
things if she let me take some
of the burdens off her shoulders.
I want to be a father to her
children. but / want even more
to have her as my companion
and friend. I have worked hard
all my life. and now that have
reached a little independence,
want to have some of the joys
of life that I have missed.
am willing to risk the future, but
Stella worries too much.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Stella is right in worrying toe
much" She cannot afford to
have marriage blow up in the
faces of her young children. The
marriage is likely to blow up il
she enters it with her present
latitude.

in the event they subsequently
filed proper amended returns.
Now the courts are trying to
figure out the precise effect Of
such promises, and Federal
judges in Ohio and Illinois have
thus far come up with different
answers.
In Ohio E. j. Benes, the presi-
dent of local corporation, filed
an amended return for his COM
pany in reliance on immunity,
and when tax investigators ar
rived he turned them over to the
company accountants. During
the check-up the investigators
found data indicating improper
personal returns on the part of
Mr.. Benes. He was charged with
making false returns. His reply
was that since the investigators
were working under a general
offer of immunity, they could not
prosecute him on the basis df
data thereby discovered.
For technical reasons the Fed
eral court in Ohio did not rule
on this exact point. but it did
say that Internal Revenues use
of such material did not amount
to an unreasonable search and
seizure"

stances in Illinois, however, off,

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I mag
Inc you receive many letters

May I make a suggestion that,
I think, will be very helpful to
readers? I know you must hear
from people who insist that they
remain anonymous. Yet, many
of their problems and case his
tories might be of great aid to us
If you published their letters
in full or in part. Not mention
ing their names, initials or To-
cality, you would not be violating
their confidence. Don't you think
this might be very helpful to
many distressed people?-Sin-
cerely, Mrs. j. T."
Answer: Although I cannot
answer every letter land prob
LEM I receive, / read each let
ter from readers of the column.
In this way, I am continually
feeling the pulse of you people in

I learn about what interests you
and about what concerns you
most. When you read a column
on choSSS4erol, for example, you
will know / have received nu-
merous requests to write on that
subject. In answer to Mrs. j. T. S

of Sir Winston Churchill. on
which he did the drawing as well
as the painting.
Immerses Self at Easel
Once the President is ready to
paint he goes at it with a dash
that can't be halted even when
Mr.. Stephens stands by pleading
vainly with him to pause and
contemplate before putting the
brush to the canvas. Unheed-
ing, he simply plunges in and
immerses himself in the work.
One summer evening in 1854
Robert Cutler had to see him on
a rather urgent matter involving
message to the King of Saudi
Arabia. The matter concerned
Saudi Arabia's long dispute with
Britain over the Baraimi Oasis
area, a potential oil territory on
the Arabian peninsula near the
mouth of the Persian Gulf. The
usher took him to the studio,
where Mr.. Eisenhower, dressed in
a sport shirt, Stacks and a white
linen cap, was walking around
from one painting to another
trying different kinds of re-
touching varnish.
Hello, Bobby" he said. going
right on with what he was do
ing, which one of these do you
think is best?"
After dabbling some more with
the varnish he returned to work
on a portrait of Mrs. G. Gordon
Moore, who is Mrs. Eisenhower's
sister. and talked of nothing
but painting for IS minutes.
Then he asked Mr.. Cutler,
What did you come over for?"
Mr.. Cutler explained the prob
lem. Scarcely missing a stroke
of the brush, the. President
picked up the threads of the
matter and discussed 1t for
more than a half hour with
his eyes on the canvas. Finally,
he said that a proposed mes
sage which Mr.. Cutler had
brought from Henry A. Byroade,
then Assistant Secretary of
State, was the best way to
handle the business. That de-
cided it, and the President
buried himself again in his
painting.
Worries Affect Golf
Just as painting is Mr.. Eisen-
hower's favorite indoor sport,
so is golf his outdoor sport. An
excellent golfer, he would play
difficult courses in the 80s in
his best form before his heart
ATTACK.
But he is not always in his
best form. and presidential wor-
Iries seem to have some effect
Ion his game Once when the
farm problem was weighing on
him he was leaving for the
Burning Tree course when Ber-
Inard Stanley called to him to
have a good game.
MY golf would be a lot
better" the President replied,
"if somebody would do some
thing about the price of beef"
Mr.. Eisenhower's golf has a
practical political side to it, too.
Members of both parties in
Congress like to be invited to
play with him. Vice President
Nixon reported to the cabinet
on April 80. 1854. for example,
that a game of golf with the
President had seemed to have a
very beneficial effect on a GER
tain Republican Senator who
was not always as cooperative
as he might be.

IL was QuI1IlB IIlCoC carly VIZ
his mind off his troubles at night,
began painting a portrait of Lin
coin after Alexander Gardeners
photograph, which hung in the
white-walled Cabinet Room. AS
one might expect of a tradition
alist like Mr.. Eisenhower, Lin
coin and Washington were his
favorite predecessors. and while
he has been in the White House
he has given a good deal of
thought to why they were sue
cessful Presidents.
AS was often the case, Mr..
Eisenhower had difficulty with
his colors in painting Lincoln's
face.
you've given him a rudy
complexion! Lincoln's face was
sallow!" Thomas E. Stephens,
the artist from Gramercy Park,
in New York, told the President
when he saw the painting. Mr..
Stephens, who has done many
portraits of the Eisenhower fam
ily often coaches him in paint
ing.
Laments Lack of knowledge
Mr.. Eisenhower used to lament
at the time that he knew nothing
about the chemistry of paints
and next to nothing about an
atomy. Mechanical drawing, he
recalled, was the one subject
that nearly got him busted out
Of West Point in his second year.
Whenever anyone brought up the
comparison between his paint
ing and Sir Winston Churchills,
Mr.. Eisenhower would laugh.
There was no comparison, he
would say. informing his friends
that an eminent painter had
once told him that if Sir Win
ston had devoted his life to
painting as assiduously as he had
to politics. he would have be-
come one of the worlds greatest
contemporary painters.
At Christmas, in 1858, Mr..
Eisenhower had copies made of
his Lincoln portrait and gave
them to his staff and friends,
and with that a painting became
his traditional Christmas gift
In 1854 he did a portrait of
Washington for his Christmas
picture. In 1855 he gave copies
of his painting of st. Louis
Greek, his fayorite trout stream
in the Rockies. on Byer's Peak
Ranch, near Fraser. Colo. He
had begun the painting at the
ranch the week before his heart
attack and finished it while con-
valescing in Fitzsimons General
Hospital in Denver.
Took Up Painting in AS
Mr.. Eisenhower did not take
up painting until 1915, when he
became Chief of Staff. He was
sitting for portrait by Mr..
Stephens. II would like to try
that" said Mr.. Eisenhower, and
started in with Mr.. Stephens
paints and brushes.
BY the time Mr.. Eisenhower
moved into the White House, the
hobby had become such a serious
one that a room across the hall
from his bedroom was converted
into a studio.
The President has a facility
for painting rather than an ar
'tistic talent. He has become pro-
ficient at drawing, but it takes
more time than he can give to
1t. In some of his work, like
the Lincoln he did in 1853 and
Washington the next year, he
has taken canvases with the
outlines of the faces already
drawn lightly on them by some
one else and then has gone Wig
orously to work on the color
When he has more time to
spend on a portrait. he both
draws and paints, and some OF
these efforts have come out very
creditably. On a single canvas
he once did a trio of Secretaries

then announced his contract as
"manager-general manager" had
been extended two years,
through the 1859 season.
"We feel that this action re-

directors said. " We hope in

"As in the past. Richards will

President James Keelty said
the contract extension calls for
a continuation of Richards

$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Richards was hired two years

ished in the cellar under Jimmy
