DEAR ABBY: How does a
mother go about telling her
7-year-old daughter about
divorce? Her father and I
are being divorced, but she
thinks he is away on a long
business trip. I haven't the
heart TO tell her he's not
coming back because she
adores him. She's a very I'M
derstanding child but very
sensitive.
A READER.
Tell her that you and her
father have decided that
you'd be happier living apart.
In explaining that he is not
going to live with you any
more use the word divorce"
1t is better that she hear it
from you than the neighbOrs
or the kids at school.

DEAR ABBY: The other
night I went to a school
dance. I was dancing with
my boy friend and every time
I swallowed l could hear my
self go "gulp" 1t was very
loud and I was embarrassed
to death. What would you
suggest?
GIRL GULPER."
Forget it. The "guIp"
seemed especially loud to you
because it was your "gulp."
Your boy friend was probably
so busy listening to his own
"gulp" that he didn't even
notice yours.

The Genial Fothead

Occasionally he does break
into print. But. nine times
out Of 10, it's for public deri-
sion as an unsophisticated, If
genial, fathead who has been
bilked by an itinerant rack
eteer posing as a home i'm
provement contractor.
Bilked or not, when the
talk turns to home upkeep
he will fall into a guilty si-
lence. If asked a direct ques-
tion, he must hang his head
in near-Shame when admit
ting that he hired someone
else to paint his house.
But let's lay down the
hammers and paint brushes
for a moment and look at the
"do-it somebody -elser" with
out prejudice. If viewed dis
paSsionately. he has what
could be described as virtues.
First, he is a reasonable
man. Here's how 1t works:
Implicit in the term "do-it-
yourself" is that one is not
working at ones usual vo-
cation. Take a sampling OF
the above mentioned maga-
zine stories and you'll find
the subjects usually run to
such romantic callings as
young advertising executive
or young airline pilot-and,
for some reason. always

the gears of our economic
system.
So let us not Sneer at the
"do-it-somebody -elSer" as he
lies reading and slipping a
cool drink in his hammock
while in the middle distance
can be heard the disciplined
clank and swish of profess
sionally operated hammers
and paint brushes.
II we can't honor him, at
least let us remove his un-
earned stigma and permit
him to walk from well-kept
home into his community
with his head held upright.
Evening star., 1960-05-13
Hos Other Interests

Our "do-it-somebody -elser"
merely takes the position that
he doesn't want to spend his
time away from work getting
bruised, burned or blistered
in trying to practice some
skilled or semi-skilled craft
for which he is neither
trained nor equipped by
temperament.
Or, to put it another way,
that the recreational value
of doing what he wants to
away from working hours is
worth more to himself than
the money he would save by
not hiring somebody to do
the job.
That brings us to the point
that the o-it-somebody-
elser" is, by definition, a man
with a sense of responsibility
for his home and his COM
munity. He does get some
body else to do it. and his
home, in consequence, is well
kept up and never a blot on
the community.

Miss Edith Louise Hough,
who almost two years ago was
found not guilty by reason of
insanity of the fatal shooting

ordered released from st. Eliza

The conditional release was
decided on by Chief District
Court Judge David A. Pine
after a two-day hearing at
which four psychiatrists said
Miss Hough would not be dan
gerous to herself or others.
The former secretary was
charged with first-degree mur-

80, 1857. of zurab Abdusheli, a
Voice of America employe, in
her apartment at the Woodner.
Miss Hough has been at St.

Her trial was not held until
July, 1858, since she had ear

competent to stand trial.
Miss Hough had attempted
to get a conditional release in
December, 1858, but District

Six weeks of investigation
lay behind when Miss Often

Beware" began appearing in
The Star on November /. 1853.
Even before publication of the
first weeks stories was COM
pleted, requests for reprints
poured into The Star. Since
that time, 10000 reprints in
pamphlet form have been dis
tributed, 10000 to the armed

One of these saved a service
man on. Guam from a court
martial. The airman concerned
was facing charges resulting
from non-payment of a debt
for a used car. An official re-
quest to Washington for infor-
nation sent one of Miss Often

Pacific and it turned out the
airman was the victim of the
unscrupulous practices Miss
Gutenberg had exposed. The
court martial was called off.
Congress AIerted
Congress, alerted by Miss
Gutenberg as to the way in
which used-car buyers we're
victimized by unscrupulous
dealers and finance companies,
took action. The House and
Senate passed an auto finance
bill fixing maximum charges
that can be imposed on cars
bought on the installment plan,
requiring bonds of both dealers
and finance companies, and
outlawing the unethical prac-
ticeS revealed by Miss Often
berg'S series.
When the bill passed the
Senate, Senator Hartke, Demo-
crat of Indiana, told his COL
leagues Miss Gutenberg de-
served "the plaudits of this

awarded to Allen Drury's best
selling novel Advise and Con-

pulSion from Poland last year.
The 1860 prizes we're among
l3 awards and one citation in
the field of letters, music and
journalism announced by the
trustees of Columbia Univer-
sity yesterday.
Awards in newspaper car
tooning and art were not made
this year.
Drive in Drug Smuggling
The Los Angeles Times won
the Gold Medal for meritorious
public service for its campaign
against narcotics smuggling
across the Mexican border. The
newspaper was cited for the
far-reaching effects produced
by a series on the problem
written by its reporter, Gene
Sherman. The Times won the
medal in 1912 for a battle to
uphold freedom of the press.
In its narcotics fight, Mr..
Sherman spent seven months
travelling to Mexico, Washing
ton, New York, Texas and San
Francisco, poring over records,
interviewing officials, addicts
and even peddlers.
Reporters for the Atlanta
Constitution, The Washington
Evening Star, an editor of the
Scripps-Howard Newspaper AL
lance, the editor of the Nor
folk Virginian-Pilot and a
United Press International pho
tographer won other prizes in
journalism.
Individual journalism awards
carry a $1,000 prize. Prizes for
arts and letters are $500 each.
The winner of the fiction
award, Advise and Consent"
a massive novel on Washington
politics, has been a best-seller
since its publication last year. !
1t has been serialized, sold to
the movies and is being pre-
pared for the New York stage.
Drury's First Novel
1t was the first novel that
Mr.. Drury, a Washington news
paper correspondent for III
years, ever wrote. Mr.. Drury,
a 41-year-old bachelor born in
Houston, was on the staff of
the New York Times as its con-
gressional correspondent when
he finished the novel.
His Washington career began
in 1943 when he started cover
ing the Senate for the United
Press. After a period as ma
tional editor of Pathfinder
Magazine he moved to The
Washington Star in 1852, then
to the Times two years later.
After publication of Advise
and Consent" Mr.. Drury left
the Times to become Capitol
correspondent for the Readers
Digest.

Miss Gutenberg, who lives al
5000 Sixteenth street NV, is
the daughter of Louis Often
berg, well-known lawyer, anc
Mrs. Gutenberg. who is prom
inent in District civic affairs
Miss Gutenberg was educated
in District public schools and
after attending old Central
High School and Goucher Col
lege, was graduated from the
University of Wisconsin in
1885. Her first newspaper job
was with the Akron (Ohio)
Times Press. She joined The
Star in December of 1887.
Talented Investigator
Almost Immediately she
showed the talents, energy and
persistence of the investigator
and, in 1899, conducted her
first full-fledged newspaper in
veStigation. There have been
dozens since. She has probed
phony marriage counselors, a
multi-state abortion ring, high
food prices, juvenile crime, sex
psychopaths, and dope addicts.
She even went after the story
behind a falling wall.
Frequently, her relentless
digging has produced either
needed legislation or needed
facilities in fields ranging
from welfare to law enforce
ment.
In 1858 Washington's law
enforcement community hon.
ored her work in that field with
a testimonial reception and a
plaque that was signed by the
Attorney General, chief judges
of all the local courts and
chairmen of the House and
Senate District Committees. 1t
was the first time that a re-
porter had been so honored.
Besides coverage of almost
every type of local and national
story, Miss Gutenberg has writ
ten numerous articles on her
worldwide travels, from Africa
to Samoa.
Six Previous Awards
The stories that make her
the fifth woman to win the
Pulitzer Prize for reporting
