THE DETAILS

THE DETAILS
Lydia: George and I have been
married five years, but there are
no children and apparently nc
hope of ever having children. We
are both deeply disappointed and
have talked about adopting chill
dren.
Unfortunately, we have devel-
oped such sharp differences of
opinion that I'm afraid we will
never succeed in bringing about
an adoption. George has very
definite specifications as to the
kind of child, what it should
look like and what kind of par
entS it should come from.
I feel that attitude makes it
hopeless, in view of the fact that
the childless parents seeking to
adopt babies outnumber the
homeless babies many times
over. My own feeling is that I
want baby whom / can love
and whose love I can win, and
the origin of the baby can just
as well be a complete mystery.
1 have hesitated to tell
George exactly how I feel be-
cause / have already SO diSap-
pointed him in not having babies
of our own, and I would like him
to have his way. I am afraid,
however, we will never succeed
in adopting a baby If we get too
chooSy.
GeOrge-I'm afraid Lydia is
letting sentiment run away with
her judgment. We chose each
other for certain qualities and
reasons, and we should be able
to choose a baby. If we can't
have our own, we should come
as close as we can by choosing.
I don't believe in taking pot
luck in a matter as important
as this. 1t may be unfair to the
child, as well as to us.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Both Lydia and George are
mistakes that should be
corrected.
Lydia's big mistake is in fail
ing to tell George exactly how
she feels. She is allowing a false
feeling of guilt to distort her
She is not guilty of
anything. The failure to have
children is just as likely to be
due to the husband as the wife.
Even if it has been definitely
established in this case that the
wife alone is incapable of having

The wrecks are ghoSt-white
They seem evanescently out Of
this world and time. They are
family luminous. They drift
through a thin, grey-white mist
which wells the earth. Some seem
to have ghost passengers. On the
deck of one stands a bride ar
rayed in her white lace wedding
gown. From another a Spanish
knight in glittering white armo1
looks down the swift flowing
river. He looks apprehensively at
the gallows trees, their long
ropes awaiting their victims
which line the river banks.
The whole scene is enacted
through family starlit night in
a mist-shrouded forest of 800
million years ago.

Impressed by the unearthly
beauty, the two soldiers are far

are to know before dawn, a de-

D. c. COMMISSION PLEASE NOTE
Russia, After "a Games,
Has 100, OOO-Seut Stadium

MOSCOW, Aug. 2 GA hot
contest between the United
States and Russia for the 1864
Olympic Games appeared shap-
ing up as the Soviet Union
showed off a huge new athletic
plant yesterday.
In an area which two years
ago was swamps and a slums
section the Russians have built
a 103,000-seat stadium with
smaller arenas for other sports.
One building seats $4,000 for
volleyball. basketball and other
events. while there is a 10000
seat grandStand for swimming
and diving contests.
There is also a huge indoor
palace of Sport" a big luxury
restaurant, Sc lunch bars, ten
mis- courts, and acres of gardens.
Just across the river is a ski
jump and all other facilities for
holding the Winter Games.
Eve have the facilities now
for the Olympic Games" said
Nikolai Romanov, chairman of
the All-union Committee of
Physical Culture and Sport.
When asked whether Russia
would bid for the 1864 games, he
replied:
Draw your own conclusions. "
1t was understood here that
the United States also is in the
market for the games, which
have not been held in the West
ern Hemisphere since 1882 in
Los Angeles. The 1856 games will
be held this fall in Melbourne,
and the 1860 Olympics have been
awarded to Rome.
Informed sources said they be-
lieved no such elaborate facil-
tiles as the Soviets have now
unveiled exist anywhere else in
the world.
Among other things, directly
across the river is a luxurious
modern university which could
easily house athletes.
