also gave Mr.. Funk authority
to retain Paul Walker, econo-

effects a bypass Of a small town
has on its economy.
MFR. Funk said it is recognized
that by-passes do not injure
large communities but that re-
search is needed on the effects
on smaller areas.
At present the commission is
running into difficulties with
proposals to bypass two East
|ern Shore communities, Princess
Anne in Somerset County and
Denton in Caroline County.
The commission officials yes
terday declined to speculate as
to whether the agency would
ask for increases in gasoline
taxes or other motor vehicle
charges.

pend in part on just how fast

Mr.. Wannen's statements

AS one answer to this prob

handing general" who goes
to Blessed Sacrament Paro-
chial School; Eduardo, 6, who
just completed kindergarten
at Holy Cross Academy, and
Alexandra, not yet 4.
In the Background
With an ample pool on the
premises, there are usually
more than eight children
around to supervise in the
summertime. Mrs. S. occa-
sionally allows the older ones
to give swimming parties for
their friends. She plans the
menu, helps prepare the food,
then moves to the back
ground, believing that the So
cial experience of acting as
host, or hostess. is good for a
youngSter.
Her children, she said, "are
trained to take care of them
selves" but, like children
everywhere, they require "a
little checking on"
A Disciplinarian
Mrs. S. is the family dis

once or twice a year. A good

say, DO you remember And
they do"
Her husband, she revealed,
is a complete pushover
around the children.
"Oh. he gets very stern,
yes, indeed. He gives a terri
BILE scowl and waves his hand
in the air." she said, imitat-
ing the Ambassador. But
when the offender starts to
cry, he gets all soft and goes
into kissing spells. Every
thing is ruined"

couldn't do that-I'd choke"
Home Is Best
Mrs. S. and the children
expect to see DR.. S. when
they see him, and don't
count on him for dinner as
a rule. "A wife has to be very
flexible" Mrs. S. observed,
"or you have big clashes.
When both she and the
Ambassador have an evening
free, they don't go dancing
- or to the movies-they stay
put. "The nights we can
spare at home, we really en-
JOY" she said.
Although she finds some
wonderful compenSations in
her husbands career-Such
as the opportunity to meet
a great variety of people
Mrs. S. admitted that she
doesn't appreciate politics.
The daughter of the for
mer Nicaraguan President
and the sister of the cur
rent President, she said,

politics, I live in politics and
I guess 1 will die in poll
tics. But I don't really like

be nasty sometimes. My hus-
band" she said, can talk to
people who have been hate
full to him, and still be
pleasant, still be a friend to
them. I'd find that hard to
do"
Asked if her children are
much interested in politics,
she replied, We'll, they hear
what's going on and once in
a while they ask a question.
I try to give them an ex-
PLANTATION that will give the
truth but not get too in

Mrs. S. is looking forward
to a period of relief from
the diplomatic whirl. Pro-
vided that his political bust
ness is sufficiently settled by
then, the Ambassador will
leave with his family later
this week for their summer
place in Golden Beach, Fla.

But Mrs. S. is prepared
for a possible delay. Said
