Strange, isn't it, Mr.. ",
that none of these women
seems to have mentioned the
fact that seemed so impor-
tant to you-that "she has q

objects to that; but it takes
more than that to make her
love her husband.
You said your wife doesn't
lack for anything she really
needs" Read over this list
again. Those are things that
the wives thought they need
ed, and plenty of other wives
think so. Are you giving your
wife all those things? If not,
there's a good point to start.
There's one great advan-

Why does a wife love her
husband?
Maybe the answer is that
she doesn't! Mr.. v. thinks he
is facing such an answer in
his own home. We've been
married three years." he tells
me, "and as far as I can see
my wife has nothing to COM
plain about.
"We have a nice home. she
doesn't lack for anything she
really needs, and our pros
poets for the future are ex-
cellent. But it seems to me
she shows me less affection
all the time-she doesn't
seem to be as interested in
me as she ought to be-"
Perhaps she's waiting for
you to seem TO be as inter-
ested in her as you ought to
be, Mr.. v. But let's take a
wider view. Why does a wom-
an love her husband?
j. P. Gillese collected re-
plies to this question from
200 Roman Catholic women.
Their views would probably
not differ much from those
Of any other 200 intelligent
women in North America.
Every husband can learn
something from them.
Briefly, they ranked a feel
ing of spiritual union" first;
then they wanted a husband
to assume his proper role as
father-not to let his wife
take all the responsibility In
the home.
Following are other traits
on which they laid down
weight:
Simple fidelity to the mar
riage VOWS. It does seem that
a wife Cor a husban6 has a
right to expect that; but
sometimes expectations are
disappointed even in this
very fundamental point.
Faith in marriage itself.
A willingness to talk out"

81 Million in Assets
CANINE HERO AT NH
Dog Honored for Blood Donations

A 6-year-old white boxer dog
named Cedric has been awarded
the canine equivalent of the
Nobel Prize.
He is one of several of prize
dog blood donors at the Ma
tional Institutes of Health.
Cedric, considered by many
breeders as unfortunate because
he is white, contributes up
to six pints of blood each year
to other dogs undergoing ex-
perimental surgery. This is
because he has the group A
negative type blood-which, un-
like most dog blood types, will
sit well with any canine.
Cedric was nominated by the
NH for the prize awarded an
nually to nine dogs as "re-
search dog heroes of the year"
sponsored by the National So
ciety for Medical Research in
Chicago. Every accredited med
ical school in the country and
nearly all big research groups
are members. The actual award
will be made later in New York.
Most dogs can take the first
', blood TRANSMISSION without any
trouble. But then they need
a second or third, either of
their own type or of the uni
versal type A-negative. Here's
where Cedric comes in.
DR.. William I. Gay of NIH's
animal hospital tested in Ced-
RIGS hip the tissue compati-
bility of Titranius, as we'll as
its qualities as a prosthesis for
a weight-bearing bone surface.
The boxer representative of
mans best friend recovered
from surgery and it was dis
covered that his blood was uni
versal group A-negative. Today
he is not only laboratory mas
cot but also a vital blood donor
for other dogs undergoing ex-
perimental surgery.
When dogs must be sacri-
feed for work designed to save
human lives eventually, their
blood is drawn and banked for
the first transfusionS to other
dogs. Afterwards, for Subse-
quent transfusions, it takes
pooehes with the type Cedric
has.

At a press conference in his

MIR. Torcaso. a Wheaton resi-
dent, added he will carry this
through to the United States

Two days ago, Montgomery
County Circluit Court Judge
Ralph G. Shure overruled Mr.
Torcaso's contention, as stated
in a mandamus petition filed
last August, that the Maryland
oath is in conflict with both the
State constitution and the

Judge Shure declared the
State oath may be rightly i'm
posed by a sovereign State ir

With Mr.. Torcaso at the
conference we're his attorney
Joseph A. Sickles, and attor-
neys for American Civil Liber-

strength; the shrine is a mighty

predicted that in the centuries

"One might as well claim

Justification to Rise
There is no reason why we

port to Congress.
Recommendation
The council yesterday heard
five complainants, several Dis
trict officials, two witnesses
from the armed forces and q
prosecutor reporting the gim-
micks used by used car dealers
to trick the trusting. All the
official witnesses recommended
corrective legislation. Among
their recommendations we're:
Licensing the finance COM
panies, controlling their maxi
much charges, banning large
lump-sum payments known as
pickup payments" and "bal-
loon payments" and requiring
that repossessed cars be sold
at public rather than private
sales.
Licensing car statesmen and
requiring that they be of good
moral character.
Strengthening the regula-
tions under which car dealers
are licensed and providing the
basis for revocation of their
licenses for Misrepresentation
and other unethical practices,
Bonding for Damages
Requiring that car dealers
post a bond to cover damages
suffered by car buyers through
misrepresentation and fraud.
Controlling the majority
stockholders of a used car cor
Iporation so that a lot can not
be closed one day and reopened
the next under another name
but with the same stockholders.
One of the military witnesses,
Maj. Harry Ehrlich, staff Judge
advocate at Boiling Air Force
Base, reported getting at least
one case a week in which a
serviceman has been victimized
by a used car dealer.
He cited cases in which the
duplicate Of the contracts
were different from the origi-
nal contracts: in which service
men were charged for insur-
ance they did not get; in
which finance charges were ex-
orbitant. and in which cars
were repossessed because the
servicemen bumped into a large
and unexpected lump sum pay
