Jealous of Paul. Mother seemed
always busy with that squally baby
when he needed her, and Daddy
went right over and picked Paul up
when he came into the house and
didn't pay any attention to Steve
the way he used to. One day when
he two of them were gooing over
he baby on the sofa, Steve crawl
ed along the floor and took good
bite out of Mothers leg. Some
thing surely happened then. Mo-
ther howled and grabbed her leg
and Daddy forgot all about Paul, he
shook Steve and talked big and
'oud. Steve didn't know much
what he said, but he loved having
both Mommy and Daddy forget
about Paul and pay attention to
him
Next day Stevie tried it again;
he bit Mommy on the arm when
she was giving him his breakfast.
This time Mommy bit him back

year unless money is constantly
spent to keep it up to date.
Three Recommendation
20 those who are determined to
move, l suggest you consider for
investment or employment capi-
tai city of one of the 48 states.
None of these 48 cities have ever
defaulted on their municipal bonds
Owing to the large number en-
ployed by the various state de-
partments, there is very little un-
employment even during a depres-
sion. Due to pension systems
which most states have adopted
almost every family feels secure
about its old age or the possibility
of sickness. Most important of all
is the fact that taxes can be col
lected from the entire state to
support the capital city, whatever
general business conditions may be
elsewhere.
Cities having State Universities
are also to be chosen. These like
wise are supported by taxes from
all the state They are rapidly grow
ing. Your children get a college
education at a low cost-as well as
? good "boy or girl friend. / also
like cities which have non-fiuctu-
ating but constantly growing in
dustries The insurance business

always good in such cities as
Hartford Conn Every state has one
or more of such cities. However.
vour future depends upon you. ra-
ther than upon where you are To-
Gated Hence. my advice is to avoid

l, however, should be an au-
thority on the best places to get
job. If you mean NOW, the an
swer is "propably Southern Cali
fornia or wherever airplane plants
are located. But, when the fear of
World War III is over, these same
sections will suffer much unem-
ployment. In fact, directly after a
previous World War, 500 of the
bus and taxi drivers of Los Angeles
were said to be college graduates.
Wages And Investments
Wages are higher when work is
plentiful in some cities but, such
work is likely to fiuctuate more.
Statistics indicate that the total
yearly take home" wages, ad-
justed according to living costs,
are about the same in all 48 states.
Again l say that in the long run
a family does not better its total
income by moving. One can get
more comforts in Miami, Florida,
than in Bismarck, North Dakota;
but l am sure the latter is better
place to bring up a family of chill
dren.
Of course The future value of
land varies with different states.
Probably the best purchases for
speculation are in the West Coast
States and the Southern States. In
making purchases of homes, how
ever. put more money into the
land rather than into the house.
Well-located land in any part of
this wonderful country should con-
tinue to become more valuable
from year to year; but any house
is becoming less valuable each

WASHINGTON = up = The
Freedom of Information Commit
tee of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors (ASNE) has
scored some advances in the past
year but has taken some setbacks
too in its campaign for better ac-
cess to federal, state and local
government news.
Headed by Herbert Brucker, edi-
tor of the editorial page of the
Hartford Comm Courant, the
committee this Newspaper Week
notes among its gains at the fed
eral level:
1. The number of press confer
ences with cabinet officials has
increased.
2. Society officers have attended
conferences with Secretary Wilson
regarding Defense Department Sc
crecy.
3. Initial secrecy provisions of
this years Operation Alert were
modified following protests over
last years policy.
4. The Strategic Air Command
has partly amended secrecy en-
forced on the movement of opera
tional units.
COURT SETBACK
An outstanding setback came in
New York State. The appellate
court ruled that citizens do not
have a right to a transcript of a
judges charge to a jury in a GRIM
inal case. The state legislature
refused to pass legislation which
would make such access possible.
The Colorado Supreme Court,
however, authorized judges to per-
nit the use of cameras in a court
room if they think there will be
no interference with order and
decorum.
In Ohio, the intermediate ap-
pellate court held that a public
trial of a criminal case is the
right of the public as well as the
accused.

Some Gains Some Setbacks
In Seeking Access TO News

The Milwaukee City Council
abandoned a secret possession
caucus it had long used to settle
controversial matters away from
the public eye.
Although not discounting the
spot gains scored by their COM
mittee, some members point to the
work of the House Government
Operations Subcommittee headed
by Representative Moss (D-Calif.)
as the years outstanding contribu-
ton to freedom of information.
KNOW MORE
Americans know more about
the impairment of their right to
know about the executive depart
ments of their own government
than they have ever known before,
thanks to the work of the Moss
subcommittee, says ]. r. Wig
gins, executive editor of the Wash
ington Post and Times-Herald, a
member of the Freedom OF Infor-
nation Committee and its chair
man for three years before Bruck-
er took that job.
'Its initial survey of govern
ment information policies, its sue
cessive hearings and itsreport to-
gether constitute a confirmation of
the warnings which the ASNE
Freedom of Information Commit
tee has issued from time to time
during the past several years"
Yet, Virgins says, ut will lie
difficult if not impossible to re-
cover all the ground lost in the
past generation as the result of
the security requirements of wars
and cold wars and in consequence
of the changes and growth in gov
ernment itself"
Virgins holds there must be
a new climate in government serv-
ice, created by broader faith and
confidence in the right judgments
of an informed people"

It's Not Two-Bit Patriotism

the smallest, from coast to coast

particularly in grass-roots Ameri-

them, but he couldn't quite keep
up; he couldn't get places fast
enough on his fat little legs; he
lost out on turns; he was slow max
ing cakes with the sGnd. When
Harry took his shovel ne bit him,
and he got his shovel right back.
Biting seemed a good way to
Steve to get what you wanted.
Mommy bit him so it seemed the
way to act.
Steve had just discovered a way
to solve his problems. 1t was up
to the grownups to figure out
better way. First it was neces-
sary to recognize that Steve did
have problems. He needed more
attention from his mother and dad.
He needed to realize that Paul had
not replaced him in their affec-
tiOns.
Second, he needed playmates
that were more nearly his age
mates-children whom he could
cope without resorting to biting.
"You mean he should go to nurs-
cry SCHOOL," asked Mrs. Stimson
when she began to see the pic
ture.
Eyes, / think that would help.
He needs to be kept in simple,
easy situation, in which he feels
adequate and secure both at home
and for play time. He will need
some careful supervision to pre-
vent him from resorting to this
trick he has found works so WELL
Gradually he will find that he
doesn't have to bite"

LIMIT THE SUPREME COURT?

The hue and cry in this country is grow
ing to limit the powers of the United States
Supreme Court. The arguments in favor of
such a limitation do not depend on any one
issue
For example, perfect case can be made
against the unlimited power of the Supreme
Court if one will study the destruction of
a Pennsylvania anti-sedition law by the
court. Another perfect case against unlim-
tied power of the court can be seen in the
multiplying of a New York State law concern
ed with the hiring Of Communists by New
York State.
Still another perfect argument against
the unlimited power of the court can be made
when one considers the possibilities of un-
limited contempt powers as exercised recent
ly by Federal Judge Robert Taylor, in the
Clinton, Tenn, school segregation case
The Federal judge in this instance took
away the freedom OF speech OF an entire
community and if one considers seriously
the implications of such procedure, regard
less of the emotional or other aspects involv-
ed, he will realize that the danger in al
lowing any one person to take away the civil
rights of so many Americans is far greater
than any danger to which the judge was at
tempting to correct.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Virginia Demo-
crat, recently charged that the Supreme
Coure was following a "preemption doc
trine," which means that the court is at
tempting to construe the "intent" of Con-
gress on its own, even though Congress was
not actually, or clearly, making its intents
known in many of these fields.
The issue is not sectional one, and
statesmen from every section of the country
should join in the effort to curb the power,
and the ever-growing and dangerous author
ity of the judiciary. A curb now, achieved
wisely and constitutionally, by Congress (the
Constitution gives Congress the right to out
line the jurisdiction of the judiciary will
prevent more severe, and perhaps danger
Gus, reform at a later date.

grounds for absolute or limited
divorce in 80 States and incur
able insanity is cause for alb
solute divorce in Maryland and
% other States.
The proposed changes would
also permit limited divorce
after three years of voluntary
separation instead of the present
five years
Two changes were proposed in
the law governing the expansion
of a limited divorce to an abSo-
lutte divorce. One change would
allow this step to be taken one
year after the signing of the
limited divorce decree instead of
the present two years. The other
change would permit either party
to apply for the change from
limited to absolute divorce. At
present only the innocent party
can seek the change to absolute
divorce.
Other changes were directed at
helping the mother or legal
guardian of minor children after
a divorce has been granted. The
mother or guardian could sue to
obtain support for the children
of a divorced father. Present
law requires that he still be the
husband" Another change
would enable the suing mother
or guardian to enforce the result
ing decree by Imprisonment for
contempt. AT present the law
does not include the case of an
order against a divorced father.
Divorces are now obtained
faster here because the new Do

would be justified, but We

kind in our court"
