From time to time we
get letters from teen-aged
readers across the country
asking our advice on a va
riety Of problems.
After reading our surveys
on dating. allowances, cur
fews and other subjects.
many seem to translate the
findings into personal terms
and seek our help in solving
life's problems.
Teen-agers want to know,
for instance, how they should
handle "old-fashioned" par
ents, or q date who is never
on time, or an overbearing
teacher who piles on home
work. To our astoniShment,
they even ask our advice on
curing acne, dandruff, stut-
tering and a whole pharma-
copia of youthful Affections.
In the end, however, teen
ages add up to being remark
able psychiatrists - particu-
larly in the field of helping
one another.
Here are just two letters
that came recently:

NLRb Ruling
Bans Affidavit
star star Writer

The National Labor Relations
Board has decided it will certify
labor unions which win bar
gaining elections even though
these unions had not fled nom
Communist affidavitS before
Congress repealed the filing re-
quirement.
The NLRB ruling applies to
unions which did not have such
affidavits on file when they Pc
titioned for participation in a
bargaining election.
The board did this by a 80
vote yesterday in ordering an
election at the mine Of the
Whaley Coal Co. at Fonde, in
Belle County, KY. In the secret
ballot election to be held within
80 days, the coal workers will
choose between District 10 Of
the United Mine Workers and
the Scott County Mine Union,
which has been bucking the
UNIV. Or they may choose no
union.
The election was sought by
the Scott County union, and
the UNIV group interviewed.
The petition was filed last June
8-more than three months be-
fore Congress passed the new
labor control law.
The new law, among other
things, repealed the require
ment that officers Of a union
must file non-C Communist az
f1davits with the NLRB before
they can use the boards serv-
ices, including NLRB-super-
vised elections.
In its ruling yesterday, the
NLRB majority noted that
UNIV District 10 was not in
compliance with the affidavit
requirement at the time the
election action was begun in
the Whaley coal case.
But 1t said Congress since
then not only wiped out the re-
quirement but the machinery
for compliance.

Gov. Powell
And Bridges
DisturbG.0. P.
BY the Associated Press

Republicans wondered today
whether a political squeeze
play is developing in New
Hampshire that could AFFECT
the 1860 G. o. p. presidential
nomination contest.
Gov. Wesley Powell said yes
terday he is prepared to sup
port Senator Bridges, Republic
can Of New Hampshire, as a
favorite-son candidate. That
came as chilling news for sup
porters who have been trying
to get New York Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller into the States
presidential primary next
March.
There is speculation that If
the Senator were to let his
name 60 into the primary, there
would not be much room left
for either Gov. Rockefeller or
Vice President Nixon to enter
the contest.
Since Senator Bridges is tab
bed as an out-and-out Nixon
supporter. a favorite-son dele
cation could be expected toI
throw its support to the Vice
President at the July party
convention.
Sees Chances Of a Equal
On the other hand, Mr..
Nixon's friends were obviously
disappointed by Gov. Powell's
fresh declaration at a news
conference that he is main
tanning neutrality between Mr..
Nixon and Gov. Rockefeller.
Asked to evaluate their quail
fications for the presidential
nomination, the Governor said
he regards them so far as equal.
Because Gov. Powell is o
former protege of and admins
trative assistant to Senator
Bridges, Mr.. Nixon's hackers
had hoped the Governor would
be on their side by now.
But Gov. Powell may face a
stiff fight for denomination and
reelection next year. Some New
Hampshire politicians thought
his comment about Senator
Bridges might be a means Of
sidestepping q direct presiden-
tial stand now to await further
developments.
Bridges NOncommittal
Senator Bridges didn't say
yes and he didn't say no to
Gov. Powell's idea that he be-
come a favorite son candidate.
The Senator said he was graft
fed that Gov. Powell had said
he would get substantial back
ing for the nomination from
New England States.
Senator Bridges noted in a
statement that he intends to
become q candidate for re-
year. I still would be possible,
however. for him to run In the
March presidential primary
and seek denomination in the
September senatorial primary.
Most Of Senator Bridges
friends seem to think he has
laid aside the presidential am
billions he held as early as
1886 when he was Governor
of the State. They doubt he
can be enticed into even a ia
vorite son hole again.
