was studying hard to be a po-
liceman. 1t was because Frank
opposite refused to hand over
a bag full Of nickels to six
hoodlums. They shot him
through the forehead.
Nor is this to imply bitter
ness about New York. The re-
porter sees 1t one way. The
policeman sees it another. Ask
an equestrian what he thinks
of horses; ask a street cleaner.
When see the spires of the
great city, ! do not see o. Hen
rvs Bagdad : on the Subway.
To my way of thinking, Broad
way is a collection of orange
drink stands and second-rate
movies.
Happy People Get Misery
Harlem is a place where we
treat a happy-go-lucky people
to misery. Wall Street is q
place where men try to make
money without working.
Brooklyn is a brick jungle.
Across the river, Jersey City
(where I was born and raised
is planned decay.
If Bagdad is great, why is it
that most men try to work
their way toward success so
that they can afford to move
out? Most of the successful
men live in Long Island, West
chester, Bergen County, and
Connecticut. Should you have
money, and you are in a mood
to play, New York is great for
one week. With money, there
are plenty Of places in which
to play. and plenty Of people
willing to play.
For the serious young men or
women who have talent, the
city is more Of a heartbreak
than to those with no talent.
New York swallows talent and
is too vast to pause and look at
it.
In this respect. New York
and Hollywood are sisters I'M
der the granite. I looked at
the young lady at my side. We
were approaching the bridge.
Her eyes were big. with the
wonder Of the skyscrapers.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

POINT OF VIEW: Snowman
Flo ziegfeld always had to have
the best. whether he could af-
ford it or not.
Early in his career, q friend
was present when a creditor
called on ziegfeld to try to
collect some money on a piece
of jewelry the Snowman had
bought.
"Jewelry? On your income?"
gasped the friend. Why can't
you be like other people? II
they can't afford to pay for
things. they don't buy"
Not me-" said ziegfeld. IF
I can't afford to pay for things.
I don't pay"
PROOF: Playwright Ferenc
Molnar announced to his
friends that he was going on
a diet. Hoping to surprise
them with a dramatic loss of
weight. he told them that he
would not see them for a
month.
The first week. he adhered
to his diet rigidly, and lost
weight. Then he yielded to his
hunger pangs and overate. At
the end of the month, he was
heavier than ever. Knowing
how his friends would rib him,
he went to tailor and bought
a suit that was several sizes
too large.
That night, when his friends
saw him. they asked:
We'll. did you lose any
weight?"
Isn't that obvious?" said
Molnar. Look at my clothes.

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

The Massachusetts, Supreme
Court recently authorized three
Boston surgeons to remove a
kidney from 15-year-old Leon
ard Masden and transplant it
in the boys identical twin,
Leon.
OF course. the doctors could
have done this anyway, but
they wanted a declaratory
judgment from the court on
whether civil or criminal
charges might be brought
against them later in the event
that the operation had a bad
effect on the healthy twin.
Supreme Court Justice Ed
ward A. Counihan, ruling that
the twins mother had a right
to consent to the operation of
both minor sons. found that
the operation was necessary
for the continued good health
and future well-being" of
Leonard as well as Leon.
Type of Ruling Is Rare
Without doubt the action Of
the physicians in seeking legal
sanction for the operation was
well advised. But it should be
pointed out that the declara-
tory Judgment is a rather rare
animal in American law. Any
one entertaining the happy
notion that it is admirable
procedure so -don't-we-do-
it-more-often is apt to be dis
illusioned.
BY and large, courts just
don't take kindly to requests
for a declaratory judgment.
The Federal courts will have
nothing to do with them at
all. and most State courts are
inclined to drag their feet in
deciding to take such cases.
There are at least two major
reasons for this reluctant atti-
tude. one obvious and one not
so obvious.
The obvious reason is that
the courts have all they can
do to handle cases in which a
bona flde legal dispute already
exists. The declaratory judy
ment simply expresses the opin-
ion of the court on a question
of law.
Immediacy Lacking
1t doesn't require the occur
ence or immediate threat Of
any real wrong or damage. But
it is based on an assumed set
Of facts. So judges reason that
If they spend much time decid-
ing issues that may never de-
velop. THEY'LL have little left
over to put on issues that do.
The less obvious reason is
that a declaratory judgment
may not actually settle any,
thing. II. for example. the real

Where do your symptoms fit

can. Such complaints can come
from patients who are organi-

The trouble was in how they

where nerves come into the
picture. The discovery of how

gets out of killer is often the
most difficult job-both for
the doctor and his patient.
AS a young married woman

that he listens to your problems

that he is not just saying you're

that is the point at which psy-
chotherapy should begin.

Bow Should Warn
Girl on Costly Gifts
THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM
STEPHEN r. can't give back Bettys gift
MRS. F. R.-It's quite embarrassing for me.



STEPHEN RI am Is and
have been going steady with a
girl Of Is for the past year or
%. Our parents don't approve
Of our going steady. but since
my parents like Betty and her
parents like me. they don't
make too much fuss.
The problem is this: Betty
has given me expensive pres
ents for my birthday and
Christmas. Her folks have
plenty Of money and she has
q big Allowance lot bigger
than mine. The presents ! give
Betty don't cost half as much.
My mother says have to give
back the last present she got
me-a watch.
I don't mind giving up the
watch, but I know that Betty
would be very hurt and so
would her folks. / don't think
it's right to return a present
once you've taken it.
MRS. F. RI have known
Betty's family for years and
they have always been this way
about their money. They give
gifts and entertain lavishly
without realizing that others
can't keep UP with them.
! know they are very fond
Of Steve and would really like
10 see something come Of his
friendship with Betty. I feel
that Betty is a very lovely little
girl, but there are so many
years ahead for both Of them
that ! don't like Steve to get
too obligated to the family.
I am really rather ashamed
Of the things Steve has gotten
for Betty. They are so cheapl
And when he takes her out, it
Is always to the most inexpen-
sive places. 1t is all quite en-
barrassing for me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Mrs. F. r. is bringing a few
too many adult considerations
to bear on this teen-age rela-
tionship. The fact that she
feels embarrassed and is con-
cerned about keeping up" with
Betty's family indicates she is
overly concerned with her re-
lationship to Betty's family.
This confuses the problem a bit.
On the teen-age level, there is
nothing terribly wrong with
Betty's giving Steve slightly
more expensive gifts than he
can give her. Since she has a
bigger allowance. she can save
more for these gifts. And Steve
does spend q good share Of his
small income on taking her out.
1t is natural for Betty to want
to show her appreciation in
q gift.
But as a matter Of taste
there should be a limit to the
amount a girl Of Betty's age
spends on gifts for a boy. no
matter what her family's in
come is. A watch seems like
much too big and serious q
gift. Betty's parents should

that you have been taking iror

Mrs. F. r. is right in her feel
ing that her son could become
overinvolved because of such
gifts.
Once the gift has been ac-
cepted. however, it would be
impossible to give it back with
out hurting feelings. A better
idea would be for Steve to let
Betty know in a serious way
that she shouldn't have done
