Dear Dan: Pm a 17-year-old
Junior and have known this GER
tain boy for five years. I used to
like him very much but my feel
ings have changed. How does a
girl tell a boy she doesn't want
to date him again without hurting
his feelings?-G. z.
Dear G.. T.: If you're referring
to dating steady, all you have to
say is that your parents don't want
you dating steady and he'll have
to accept the fact. I'm sure he
would understand. However, if
it's a case of not liking the boy
at all and not wishing to associate
with him, then / don't e how
you can get across your point
without hurting his feelings. Re-
CARELESS, it's better that he knows
how you feel now.
t
Dear Dan: I'm a freshman in
high school and recently noticed
this sophomore boy who attends
the same church as / do but who
doesn't attend any Of the func-
tons. At our last dance, l danced
with him just one time and that
was all. l know his name but he
doesn't know mine. We're going to
have a dance in the very neal
future where the girls invite the
boys. I'd like to ask him to go but
since he doesn't know me too well,
/ don't know what to do. How can
l get better acquainted with him
and how can l go about asking
him to the dance. Thank you.
Anxious.
Dear Anxious. II this boy has
made such a solid impression on
you, there's always the possibility
he's just as much impressed with
you too. l think it would appear
too obvious if you came right out
now and asked him to be your
date. However, if you go about
it in the right manner, it won't
be. Why not have a mutual friend
introduce you and take it from
there. If you have to do a little
scheming to get this introduction,
that's okay under the present cir
cumstances.
Dear Dan: My birthday Is COM
ing up 500 and I know my girl is
on getting me a watch.
10 and working so it won't
be a case of her having to rob her
p~iggy-bank. MY father has a very
expensive and valuable pocket
watch that was first owned by
his father. My problem is that I
think he's going to give it to me
and if / tell him about my girls
gift, I'm really going to hurt his
feelings. Still, I've got my girl to
consider. What can / do and
please tell me before the end OF
the month. - Arthur.
Dear Arthur: You'd look a little
foolish accepting two watches on
your birthday and if someone has
to change plans, / think it should
be your girl. First of all, her pro-
posed gift is a little expensive.
Most important, the watch your
has is a family treasure and
I'm sure you would make him
very proud when you accept it.
If your girl doesn't know that you
know about her present, casually
mention what your parents are
going to give you for a present.
I'm sure she'll take the tip and
plans. If she does know,
hen talk it over with her. I'm
she'll understand that at
his time you should accept your
fathers watch.
Dear Dan: Believe it or not but

by Mr.. Dulles before his
death. Close collaborators Of
the late Secretary Of State
maintain that Mr.. Dulles
always opposed a Soviet
American rapprochement
without previous tangible

the part of the Soviet boss.
Mr.. Murphy was one OF
the closest advisers Of Mr..
Dulles, whose views he shared
entirely. His relations with
Secretary Herter, Mr.. Dulles
successor, were good. But,
according to intimates, he did
not relish the new trend of
our foreign policies. Being
a good soldier" he was re-
luctant to take issue with
his superiors. -
Mr.. Murphy used to be
called into Mr.. Dulles Office
for consultation several times
a day. His advice was sought
much less frequently by Mr..
Herter, who had a high es-
TEEN for Mr.. Murphy's ex-
perience but disagreed with
him on many basic matters.
In order to resolve what
might have become an un-
pleasant relationship in the
remaining months before the
1860 election, Mr.. Murphy
was offered-and the offer
was given wide publicity
the ambassadorship to the
West German republic soon
after he was elevated to the
post of undersecretary for
political affairs. But Mr..
Murphy preferred to relin-
quish his post and go into re-
tirement after waiting for a
sufficient time so as not to
cause unfavorable comments
on the new State Department
leadership. especially while
Congress was in session.
There is no doubt that by
Mr. Murphy'S retirement
from active diplomatic serv-
ice the United States has
lost one of it's most astute
and effective servants. Un-
like other diplomats with a
well-founded or created rep
utation, Mr.. Murphy was not

by the conference last Tuesday,
Mr.. Tariki said the Arab COM
pany selected to build this
pipeline will be based in
Baghdad, Iraq. He estimated
the project would cost $3.50
million and would be capable
of transferring 100000 barrels
daily.
Standard Set of Laws
The conference said Arab
governments should receive in
creased shares of Middle East
oil income, but did not go into
details.
It approved a suggestion that
Arab governments should adopt
a standard set of petroleum
laws. The group also said that
oil companies not exploiting
concessions should be forced to
give them up.
The recommendations by the
conference are not binding on
governments concerned. The
main purpose of the conference
was to work out practical plans
on oil matters for submission
to the Arab governments.
Most of the recommendations
probably will be taken up at a
December meeting of the Arab

Gen. Weygand was finally

time before the landing in

agents, however, suspected
him and forced the Vichy

back to France where he re-

Just has to get tough. Mr.. Nc
Elroy pointed out how hard
this can be, however, when he
invited Congress earlier this
year to force a decision on one
interservice rivalry involving
the Bomarc, an Air Force mis-
sile, and the Nike-Hercules,
which belongs to the Army.
1t is emphasized on high adj
ministrative levels that all serv-
ices have an even chance at
space with one exception-the
Air Force will have monopoly
on the space rockets, though
not on the satellites or space
platforms the rockets will lift.
Just because the Army was
assigned the first communica-
tons satellite, for instance, is
no reason why the Navy or Air
Force, each with special COM
munications problems, cannot
ask for and get future commun-
icationS satellites.
Keeping Them in Check
The Secretary has one handy
way of keeping the services in
check, however.
After a service originates a
project, it will be developed in
the Advanced Research Projects
Agency, which stands above all
three services. When the pro-
ject advances to the produc-
ton engineering stage, it will
be assigned to a service that
wants it, probably the service
that first originated it.
Then that service must weigh
the cost of a new space project
against it's other needs, all in
the light of the firm ceilings
on it's annual budget.
The new policy could serve
to keep service brains in COM
petition for new ideas, but in
sure that only valuable projects
actually come into being. Al
least, say its sponsors that's
what is hoped for if all con-
cerned show restraint and rea'
son.

The departure Of Under
secretary Of State Robert
Murphy from our diplomatic
service is q serious loss TO the
Nation in these times of in
ternational stress.
More important than Mr..

actual reason which his close
friends believe caused his
decision to remove himself
from the international policy
arena.
Mr.. Murphy, a disciplined
Government official with more
than 40 years service. used
the usual cliche. He an
nounced that his departure
was caused by his desire to
earn more in private business
and spend more time with his
family. This is a mere polite
pretext for, as permanent
ambassador, he receives a
pension Of $17,500 a year.
Besides. he has a fair person.
al income. Hence the question
of making more money is not
particularly valid since most
Of a high salary he might
earn would go into income
taxes.
The real reason for Mr..
Murphy's retirement, accord
ing to intimates, is that the
new foreign policy which is
now being shaped can best
be described as "de-Dullesing"
the Dulles policies which had
been followed by the admin
iStration with occasional var
iation since the late Secretary
of State took over.
Despite the repeated
statements from the highest
quarters that the DULLES
policy"-the basic American
policy since the election OF
Mr.. Eisenhower-will be con-
tinued, the administrations
operations in the foreign
field are intended to do away
with "rigidity" and lean as
much as permissible under
the present circumstances
toward a new type of APP
peasement known in the
present diplomatic lingo as
relaxation of tensions" 1t

The Puguns Were Less Pagan

Roman feast of Pomona, the
goddess of fruit and Of gar
dens. She appears in the
writings Of the earliest Latin
poets. She was a cold and
dainful maid until wooed
and won by Vertumnus. the
god who ripens the fruits in
autumn. This was a day
greatly celebrated with feast
ing and wine.
The various Christian sects
themselves claimed all holi-
days that were being observed
and, where possible, dedicated
them to Christian worship.
Nor did the early Christians
seek to make them dry or
lacking in merriment.
So they took over the cele-
bration of the Druids' New
Years Eve and Pomona's
feast, and wrapped them up
as All-Hallow's Eve. This
finally became Halloween
and, lastly, Halloween,
Something had to be done
about the next day, which
was celebrated as a New
Years Day, and so this
finally came to be called All
Saints Day. 1t was a CATCH
all day, in honor Of no god
dess, or god, but honoring
all the saints of the early
church. They kept the feasts
and provided new cere-
monialS.
Oddly enough, and a trib-
ute to the toughness of the
primitive tradition, Hallow-
cen is observed in many
places as a memorial to those
who have died during the
year, which was exactly what
the Druids made of it.
But alack and alas, the
primitive beliefs and early
religious celebrations have
degenerated into vandalism
and a somewhat silly business
of trick or treat" which is
a mild form of blackmail.
The pagans actually were

The ancients believed that

his honor, and high carnival.
