Opposes School
Transfer Appeal

Following a period Of heated
debate, the Lamond-Riggs Citi-
zens Association last night turned
down a request by member ask
ing for help in getting the chill
dren Of eight families in the area
transferred from one school zone
to another.
Immediately after the negative
vote. Martin Greenwood. who
made the resolution. resigned
from the association and walked
out of the meeting.
The children in question live
in the 500 block of Hamilton and
Ingraham streets NE. In the
fall. they will attend the Keane
Elementary School, rather than
transfer to the La Sale Elemen-
tary School. which opens this
fall. Most Of the children in the
Lamond-Riggs area will transfer
to La Sale.
After Mr.. Greenwood made his
request for the ORGANIZATIONS
help. many members spoke
against his request on the
ground that the La Sale School
is prematurely overcrowded and
that. while 1t is an unfortunate
circumstance. some children
must become hardship cases. !"
Henry II. Seeal, association
president. pointed out that men,
bers Of the community had met
with school officials and had de-
cided on the general boundaries
some time previously.

LAW IN THE NEWS
BY PHIL YEAGER
and JOHN STARK

A few days ago a United Press
dispatch from Paris. France.
read as follows:
Divorce court magistrates
were asked today to rule whether
a husband who hired a private
detective to seduce his wife has
grounds for divorce because the
mission was accomplished.
The wife's attorney argued it
was a case Of 'provocation.'
THE wife had been so tor
mented by her husband that
according to a doctors certifi-
cate she was tired. nervous and
in no condition to resist he
said"
The story gives the impression
that the wife was very much on
the defensive and that she was
placing emphasis on her nervous
condition at the time in efforts
to find a legal excuse for her
acts. This is entirely possible
since the laws of European
countries are often more strict
in dealing with philandering
wives than with philandering
husbands.
Different in u. s.
But In American law a situa-
ton such as the foregoing would
probably create a host of diff
culties for the conniving hus-
band. In fact, he might find
himself in fairly warm water.
In most jurisdictions in this
country there is a general rule
to the effect that If one spouse
consents to the infidelity OF the
other. then he or she is fatty
prohibited from using the par
ticular affair consented to as
grounds for divorce. While in
the Paris situation there was no
express consent by the husband.
his part in arranging for the
seduction set-up would in all
likelihood be construed in a
United States court as implied
consent. The. effect would be
the same as though he had
okayed his wife's affair.
Similarly, a spouse who con-
dones-that is. acknowledges and
forgives - the extra marital
activities of the other is also
often prevented from suing for
divorce on the basis Of the par
ticular amorous wanderings
which have been forgiven.

he must:
l. Have a permanent mental
or physical disability which Is
so severe that he can't do any
substantial work, and
2. Have had the disability
for at least six months, and
3. Have worked under social
security for five Of the ten
years before he was disabled
and for 11a of the three years
before he was disabled, and
4. Be between 50 and IS.
If you are disabled or ever
become disabled, you should not
have much trouble deciding
whether you meet the last three
requirements listed above.
But, only the Social Security
Administration-after it has
medical evidence in hand-can
decide whether you have q dis
ability SO severe that you can't
do any substantial work.
The social security people
have worked out a set of guides
based on medical conditions for
making the decisions. But, thus
far, they have refused to release
publicly complete information on
the guides. More will be said
about this in the next column.
&
IN ANY CASE, you'll be re-
sponsible for getting the medical
evidence together to show your
disability.
When you make your applica-
ton, your social security office
will give you a medical report
form on which this medical
evidence can be supplied.
You'll be asked to take or mail
this form to your doctor to fill
out. q
The form is designed to pro-
vide the Social Security Admin
istration with a full medical his
tory of your disability: How
severe, it is, what medical tests
have shown and what the doc
tors have found to be wrong.
After the form is filled out. it

Another possible twist to cases
such as the foregoing might be
"a boomerang effect on the hus-
band. If. for example. the wife

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CREDITORS: Producer Flor
enz Ziegfeld, who lived like a
king even when he was broke,
once had in his employ a writer
who could match him in extrav-
agance. Like the producer, the
writer always had a pack of
creditors yapping at his heels.
At one time, he received a $500
advance from Ziegfeld for a
sketch in a forthcoming Follies.
He went through the money in
a day. and then began moving
from one hotel to another as his
credit ran dry in each.
Ziegfeld, desperate for the
script, searched everywhere for
him. Then, one afternoon, the
writer phoned.
Where have you been. What
happened to your" screamed
Ziegfeld. Have you got the
sketch?"
Yes, it's finished" the writer
assured him. "I'll bring It over
as soon as 1t gets dark. can't
go out in daylight. The hounds
are after me-"
A few hours later, he sneaked
into ziegfeld's upstairs ofilce at
the theater. He had scarcely re-
moved his hat when the phone
rang. Ziegfeld answered 1t.
Its the box Office" he said.
There's a sheriff downstairs.
You must have been followed
Put out the lights. I'll go down
and get rid Of him."
A few minutes later, Ziegfeld
returned and switched on the
lights. There was paper in his
hand and a grim look in his eyes
as he turned to the writer.

pitiful it is to have to witness
such cases. the idea Of a group
of doctors turning thumbs
down" on any spark Of life is to
me obnoxious. My idea Of q doc

My own mother died at 43.
She knew two months before
her death that she was doomed.
Still the hope and desire for life
that burned in her was a bright
and beautiful thing although it
was. surrounded by the ugliness
of dying and of death. That
hope was visible until her mind
was no longer clear. Suffer she
did, but deprive her of that
hope? Never! May my own last
fight be as gallant. Mrs. S.

because I've never yet known
him to turn down a touch. How
much of this money has been
paid back? Not a red cent!
But now we've reached the
limit. Recently I was looking
through his check stubs and
found that he had given a large
sum to a young woman employee
of his-a pretty blond, no less!
Now I don't care what his rela-
tionship to this babe Is, but /
don't want my children's money
going to her.
Henry B. The money was
given to this young woman for
her child. who happens to be
dangerously Ill. She is a widow
and earns a very small salary.
She had nobody else to turn to,
and she could have been an ugly
brunette for all cared. She
turned to me because I've been
almost like a father to her. It's
really loan. but I don't care If
l never see the money again.
Why shouldn't one human being
help another in a time of crisis +?
AS for my family, unfortun-
ately they've gotten the idea that
I'm richer than I really am. It's
true that some Of them should
be a little more considerate and
go elsewhere for a loan, but I'm
the Oldest in the family and
they're used to thinking of me
as sort of head of the family and
can't find it in me to turn
away a member of my own
family. My wife calls me a
sucker for that!
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Henry does bear the mark of
being an easy mark-that is. he
is easily flattered. Anybody who
sees him as Big Daddy has a
good chance Of getting past first
base.
Henry doesn't explain how his
family has gotten the idea that
he is richer than he is and he
doesn't state why he hasn't
managed to diSillusion them.
The indications are that it would
be an awfully big blow to his
ego if a member Of his family
went elsewhere" for a loan.
AS for his woman employee,
the same holds true. Certainly,
human beings should help one
another. but why all this AL
most like a father" business.
These handouts stick too close
to one pattern to stem from
goodness of heart. pure and
simple.
I Nagging won't help in bad
case of Santa -Claus-itis, such as
Henry has. The best thing Zelda
can do is let her husband know
the cost Of living has gone way
way up and she'll need a much
bigger allowance. Let Henry fig
ure out how to meet his family's
needs and be a philanthropist
at the same time.
