Miller Ruling
Awaits Briefs
BIZ HOWARD I. DUTKIN

Arguments nj the contempt Of
Congress trial Of playwright
Arthur Miller wound up yester.
day with the main issue embrac.
ing the pertinency Of questions
asked Mr.. Miller by the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities.
Federal Judge Charles r. Nc
Laughlin, who heard the case,
gave until Wednesday for the
submission Of additional briefs
in the case. This was an extern
sion Of one day from the original
time limit set. The jurist gave
no indication a. to when he
might rule.
Mr.. Miller Is charged with two
counts Of contempt. One stems
from his refusal to identity for
the committee others who had
attended. with him, a Com
munist meeting IN New York in
l9l7.
The other count grew out Of
the writer's refusal to say II 4
certain person was chairman Of
the meeting.
The refusals we're not based
on the Fifth Amendment. Mr..
Mill had stated his conscience
forbade him to name others al
though he testified as to his own
past Affiliations with commu-
nism. In addition. ne had told
the committee he doubted the
pertinercy Of the questions.
The committee ct the time
last June-was engaged In an
investigation into the use Of
passports by Communists. A
passport application by Mr..
Miller was pending.
"There u no evidence that the
people In question tthose whom
Mr.. Miller refused to IDENTIFY
had anything to do with pass
ports. " argued his counsel, Joseph
L Rauh. jr. Hence. he concluded,
the questions asked Mr.. Miller

Mrs. Miller read quite q bit
Of Mr., Rauh's books. She said
she also read newspaper stories
about the trial. land court
records. too. So you see I knew
a good bit about what's going
on"
She did not name the books
she read. But she said after
reading about the trial, she is
convinced her husband win win

Although many Of the Rauhs'
neighbors knew Miss Monroe was

trial. they thought she left after
It started.

ever, if a youngster earns. let's
say, $40 a week. 1t seems to me
that $40 or $12 q week should
amply pay for his at-home
living expenses.
Unless your family Is in dire
financial circumstances I think
your father is definitely wrong
in expecting you to give him
all Of your weekly salary with
the exception Of lunch money
and IS for spending. Five dol
lars a week will not buy cloth
ing and the dozens Of other
things q working person has to
have.
In my opinion. q person who
Is old enough to have a steady
job is also old enough to ham
die his own money with the
exception Of a child actor or
some unusual situation in
which a minor receives large
amounts.
Parents. at times. can advise
and perhaps suggest wiser ways
of handling money. especially
if the youngster is spending it
foolishly. Otherwise the boy or
girl with a steady job certainly
has the right to have more to
show for a weeks work than
your father seems to think.

comes the blast-people start
goSSiping. her reputation suffers
and even the boy who was so
''kiss-crazy" in the first place
loses interest in her and starts
dating other girls.
So, my advice is to stick to
your ideals and keep right on
believing as you do now. Keep
the kissing within reasonable
limitations and the friendly re-
Iationship will last much longer.

Dear Sharon:
All people have faults but
some are not aware of them.
Since you are aware Of yours
and realize you are the cause
of your problem it should be
comparatively easy to solve.
All you have to do is to make
a determined effort to be pleas
ant and congenial. When you
feel argumentative and unrea-
sonable stop and think about
it for q minute or two before
you say anything. II you don't
try to change I am sure you
know that you will never know
the pleasure which comes from
having close friends and COM
