Asked in Bill
BY the Associated Press

A group of Democratic Sena-
tors have introduced a bill that
would require TV networks and
stations to provide two hours of
free time a week for presi-
dental candidates for eight

The bill, introduced last
night after being withdrawn for
revision. provides that the free
time would be available to the
presidential candidate of any
party whose candidate in the
previous presidential election
got a minimum of 4 per cent
of the popular vote.
This provision would effec-
lively limit the free time bill to
the candidates of the two
major parties.
1t would give the candidates
two hours of free time a week.

The Democrat and the Republic
can would have equal time dur
ing each period.

completely.
But for the past three
weeks he has been having
quite a bit Of pain again.
He gets little if any relief
from his medicine. Has he
got this to look forward to
for the next 20 years?
The doctor says the re-
action is expected and he is
not concerned. After fol-
lowing doctors orders and
spending quite a bit on medi-
cine, can't we expect relief?
A family friend had the
same trouble and went to a
hypnotist and learned self
hypnosis. This man eats as
he pleases, smokes and drinks.
I'd appreciate your opinion,
DR.. Steincrohn. We're con-
Sidering another doctor, al
though I don't know what
else can be done. Mrs. D., N. j.
I AM GLAD YOU are con-
sidering another doctor rather
than a hynotist for the treat
ment Of your husbands ulcer.
There Is no such thing in
medicine as the same thing.
Your husbands friend may
never have had an ulcer.
And don't go rushing to
change doctors. If in doubt
about treatment or the course
Of your husbands illness, it
is much wiser to call in con-
sultation. Otherwise the new
doctor may have to put your
husband through all the rig
marole Of X-rays and other
diagnostic tests again.
Don't let your husband be-
come too discouraged. Tell
him not to begin smoking
and drinking again. Tell him
that duodenai ulcer has a
way of kicking up without
apparent reason. In fact, IN
many patients 1t kicks up for
a few weeks every spring and
fall.
Have him continue with
his medicine and try to keep
his emotions under control.
Turmoil Is good for the ulcer
and bad for the patient.
Have faith in your doctor.
He helped once. He will again.

You either love them or
hate them: That's what I've.
heard about cats. You either
love them or don't like them:
That might describe peoples
feelings about dogs.
Some time ago I wrote a
column on cats and allergy,
and included a letter from a
cat-hater. Here Is a letter
received today:
ION reading your recent
column in which there was a
letter from a lady(?) per-
tanning to allergies caused by
cats-this gal just doesn't
like cats! I am so years of
age, raised by my grand
parents in Illinois. I had no
one to play with except my
cats and dogs. Now, during
my lifetime, I'd say I've had
so cats. Yes-house cats. And
dearer than some people!
i am as healthy as a per-
son can be-always was. I
could pass for IS. Right now
I have four fine, healthy cats.
They've all been to the hos
pital and had the necessary
operations. I still say that I'd
much rather eat after my
cats than after most people
I have had dealings with.
Il know you won't print
this letter in your column be-
cause I'm so much for cats
but at least I've got it of my
chest" Mrs. D., Indianapolis.
I'M AFRAID THIS ex-
change Of letters doesn't do
must to settle the allergy
problem. But 1t does indi-
cate that some people like
cats more than they like
people. In other words, the
world has some people haters
as well as cat-haters!
However, Mrs. D.-and
apart from love and hate
1t Is true that cat fur causes
allergic reactions in many
persons.

DEAR ABBY: My husband

lot Of money. He owns his
own business. We've been
married four years tno chill

Last night he got a tele-
phone call cat dinner time)

works in his office. She
asked If she could come over
and talk to him. He said.

was very pretty. She said
she didn't want to talk in
the house. So he asked if
I'd excuse them while he
took her for a little drive.
He came back (alone) in
an hour. He said she had
been having trouble with her
boy friend. She had been
intimate with him and now
he was stalling the marriage.
She asked my husband to
advise her.
Abby. when he told me
this. 1 got sick inside. What
right has she discussing such
things with my husband? He
says she is a good kid" but
very mixed up. My intuition
tells me she is after my hus-
band. I am so upset I can't
think straight. How should
I handle this?
SICK INSIDE.
Make 1t plain that you do
not want any other woman
crying on your husbands
shoulder. From what you
say this young lady has nerve
she hasn't used yet. Tell
your husband that he should
keep his relationship with
his employees on an imper-
sOnal basis. Tell him you
think this kind Of g0ings-on
is a threat to your marriage
and you want it nipped in
the bud. Your intuition is
probably correct. Speak your
piece and pull no punches.
And close with lots of love
and plenty of kisses.

and have three youngsters,
ranging from 4 TO 8. My
wife worked until our sec
ond child was born. I had a
low-paying job. but was going
to college nights to train for
q better career. / didn't want
Adele to work after our first
was born, but she insisted.
At last she became i'll from
the strain OF caring for a
household and a job and the
doctor ordered her to quit.
Unfortunately. I have not
yet made the best connection
job-wise and we are still
pretty bad of financially.
However. I'm hopeful things
will soon improve.
Adele wants to 60 back to
work until they do, but I'm
afraid she'll become Ill again
and that will make matters
worse.
ADELE J.-All of Jerry's
objections to my working are
nonsense. He knows the
doctor has given me a clean
bill Of health, but he keeps
saying that I'm really not
strong enough and the kids
need me. Anything to keep
me home.
I have never felt more
enertic. My mother is more
than willing to take care of
the kids. She's Just crazy
about them. My old boss is
dying to have me back. So
what's there to crab about?
Jerry always resented by
working. I only want to help
him on his feet. The poor
guy has had the toughest
breaks.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Adele shows some UNDER
standing when she says she
has a feeling Jerry always
resented her working. Why
did she persist? Why didn't
she give her husband the op-
portunity to take on his full
responsibility as bread-win-
ner?
There is a strong posi-
bility that Adele is largely
responsible for her husbands
tough breaks" He is con-
scious OF the fact that his
wife has so little confidence
in him that she is prepared
to leave three small children
home, and he must approach
each new possibility with the
fear of defeat uppermost in
his mind.
Just as Adele is anxious to
usurp her husbands rightful
role, her mother seems to
have moved in on hers. Pos
sibly this woman is the root
Of the problem. Adele feels
forced out Of the house by
her mother who spends all
day with her children.
With her mother around
constantly, Adele cannot pos
sibly feel like a mother her
self. She seems to show little
sense Of responsibility for
her children. This is her only
chance to bring up her own
family In the way she thinks
best. Her mother cannot do
this for her.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. l8.-Bills
to increase interest rates and
limits on personal loans were
Soundly defeated in the House
of Delegates yesterday when
the membership rebelled against
leaders who were pushing the
legislation.
Leading the fight against the
bills was Carlton r. Sickles,
Democrat Of Prince Georges,
who said they were designed to
increase loan company earn
ings without taking the public
into consideration.
The bills were rejected by a
3-to-l margin by the House
membership despite earlier ap-
proval, by a 16-to-l4 vote, in
the powerful House Ways and
Means COmmlJCee.
Two bills were involved.
The first, defeated by an 81
to-27 vote, would have raised
the maximum interest rate
from 6 to 8 per cent a year on
loans made under the industrial
loan act. 1t also would have in
creased the loan limit from ST.
500 to $2,500. Industrial loans
now run from $500 to $1,500.
Another provision would have
increased the maximum service
charge for making the loans
from $50 to $50.
The second, defeated by an
83-to-29 vote, would have
raised the limit on loans made
under the small loan" laws
from $500 to $500. Interest on

Rebound Sends
Stocks Higher;
Trading Brisk

NEW YORK, Feb. l9 (AP).-
The stock market kept enough
momentum from this weeks
strong rebound to make a fairly
good gain early this afternoon.
Trading was moderately active.
Gain of fractions to about
2 points outnumbered losses.
The market was slightly
higher on balance in an irregu-
lar start. Prices strengthened
as the session wore on.
The uncertain tone at the
start was linked in part to
profit taking on the past two
days of advance and also to
precautionary selling in view
of the three-day week end
ahead. The market will be
closed Monday for Washing
tons birthday.
The drop in the short posi-
tion reported after yesterdays
close was disappointing to Wall
Street from a technical angle.
This figure represents the total
Of stock borrowed to effect
short sales, stock which short
sellers hope can be replaced
in the future at lower prices.
The future purchases repre-
sent kind Of buying cushion
under the market.
Nonferrous metals, chemi-
Gals, rails, electronics, drugs,
tobaccos and building materials
were mostly higher.
Corporate bonds declined in
slow trading. United States
Government bonds drifted to
