NEW YORK.-From the day
the first restaurant opened its
doors. the relationship between
owner and eater has been a
complicated one. In recent years
an organization called the
Diners Club has set up a credit
card system for eaters who can
charge meals in a chain of
restaurants all over the world.
The other day, the credit organi-
zation finished its first survey
on complaints, problems and
grievances of both diners and
restaurant operators.
One query. for instance, asked
for advice on what to do about
the pretty hatcheck girl who is
too friendly and antagonizes
wives. This happened to me
once" a New York executive an
swered. land I had to stop dating
the hatcheck girl" A Des Moines
diner has a ready answer. He
shouts at his wife: who you
gonna believe? Me or your eyes?"
Women who comb their hair
at the table have long been the
bane of restauranteurs. We've
spent thousands of dollars on
ladies' rooms with built-ih rou-
lette Wheels" Las Vegas operator
writes. From the ladies room
attendants alone, we'll never
break even"
Diners who loudly compare
menu prices with other eateries
are also a nuisance. This never
happens to u.s." writes a restau-
rant man from Glasgow, Scot
land. Our diners always check
the prices BEFORE coming in"
People who write on table

System Out of Step
Back in 1910, before Congress
made provision for probation in
Federal courts generally, it made
a specific provision for control of
probation in the District. In
1925. when Congress enacted
general provisions on probation
in Federal courts throughout the
Nation. it excepted courts in the
District, because they already
had a probation act.
But the courts here and those
elsewhere did not operate under
a uniform act.
