Court Of Justice Urged
Senator Smathers has
coupled with his recommen-

of an GAS police force the
creation of a Court of JUS

In the opinion of the Flor

lively small but strongly

act with great speed, and
could be a great deterrent to

In addition to assuring
peace, the establishment Of
such a force would materially
benefit the American coun-
tries economically. They
would not feel constrained to
spend their money to build
up their individual armed

pointed to the fact that the

Furthermore, Latin Ameri-

office manager for a real es-
tate firm. His personality was
electrifying. Somehow, Frank
always ended his business
deals as the adopted pal Of
the clients, but no homes
were sold.
He could tell a good story.
and he stroked a fair piano.
He was sympathetic to those
who had problems. and he
could lift a woman out Of
the blues with a smile and
a glance. He made every par
ty he attended, and people
always begged him to come
back again.
When Franks mother died,
he realized that he had lost
his financial anchor. He need
ed an anchor. So he married
a girl who wanted to be his
slave. She got her wish. He
got his. too.
Theresa made one mistake.
She assumed that. because
Frank had married her, that
he belonged to her. This was
a childish notion and it en-
barrassed Frank. At least
once every few months. he
had to explain again why he
could not take her with him
to parties, and why it was all
right for him to meet other
women.
Ladies, 1t seems, always re-
bel when it Is too late. Theresa
left Frank when her older
daughter was 6 and the
younger was 4. If it crushed
this man, he hid it ably.
Sometimes. in later years, he
would tell. a little misty-eyed,
about his two big girls and
how their mother kept them
from him.
After the war, Franks age
began to show a little around
the seams. He talked about
hunting a job, but he never
seemed to have the time.
Frank became a perennial
weekend guest. Ladies with
money took turns adopting
him temporarily.
One dawn, the police found
him slumped against the
wheel of a parked foreign
car. From that time on. he
had been a guest at several
hospitals. Whenever his tests
became negative, Frank was
discharged and took it easy"
at all-night parties.
Now he was in a charity
ward. This was the last stop
Frank looked at me a long
time. Some people get every
thing" he said. Nobody ever
gave me a break"

I gave up the game for a

To me, cardplaying is just
an obSession and people
should try to cure themselves
Of it. There are much better
things to enjoy-like reading
or listening to music. When
I try to get Pearl to do a little
Of that, she just starts to
yawn.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Many married couples have
widely different interests.
Pearl and Harold seem to use
their interests to hurt one an
other. They make a point Of
insulting one another by ex-
pressing disdain for the
others interests.
Pearl knows Harold will be
left out of her cardplaying
evenings. yet she expresses
the desire to play every night
Of the week. Harold is COM
pletely unreasonable when he
complains of being left alone,
yet refuses to make an effort
to find some interest in Pearls
activities. He makes the as
sumption that his highbrow
interests are far better, but
we believe that if he enjoyed
them with real enthusiasm he
would be less resentful of his
wife's interests.
Harold's jealousy of the
other man appears to be part
of this whole picture. He
feels neglected. The reasons
for this undoubtedly go deeper
than her card playing. Pearls
interest in card playing sug-
gests that she feels she is
missing something that would
give her life more meaning.
The answer here cannot be
concerned with playing or not
playing cards. Pearl and
Harold must seek and find a
warmer. more meaningful life
together.

sion? Only when it consist
