It just occurred to us that
possibly one reoson Gov. Bar
nett is getting so much adverse
publicity on hiring and firing,
etc, is because he doesn't
have too many friends among

rectly, about SO percent of the
states press was agin' him
during the campaign.

When the wife does 1t in
an angry spirit. it must in

We cannot determine
whether Morton should take
the risk of free-lancing.
Many artists do make good
salaries at free-lance work.
Perhaps Morton and Lee
should talk to some of these
men and learn more about
the problems.
We get the impression that
Lee looks at the past in a
bitter, angry way and the fu-
ture in a frightened way. She
should see what she can do
to inject some sweetness and
joy into her family life. This
is more important to her
children than the material
benefits she has in mind.
If Lee were calmer and
kinder in her approach to
the family financial prob
lens perhaps Morton would
confide in her more.

II have made no particular
plans for retirement. I
haven't thought it necessary
since I will draw social secu-
rity and a pension for a total

However, I have now
passed my 64th birthday and,
with one year before retire
ment, I would like to get my
house in order. Can you give
me a program for these last
IL months?'"
I can give you a general
'last year" plan. Apply It to
your personal circumstances
where it fits and you should
retire in good shape.
Sit down and read the big
print and the small print in
each life and health insurance
policy you have. Unless you
are a remarkable citizen, you
have never done this. Look
especially for these things:
Is your life insurance, which
was intended to take care
OF your dependents. going to
be needed for that purpose
now? Do the premiums on
your life insurance stop at
age 65? Are there provisions
in these policies to convert
them to uses other than
death benefits and to termi-
nate the premiums?
Health Insurance
Are your health insurance
policies with the company
going to continue after IS?
For how much premium? If
they don't continue, can you
buy private health insurance
for less money now than after
IS? Does the health pre-
MUM cover your wife also?
Make a will for yourself
and your wife. I have ex-
planned many times why this
is necessary but many people
still doubt it. If you have
any property whatever, make
a will before you retire.
Shoot the works on health
examinations in these last
IL months and correct any
health problem you have.
You probably have some
health coverage with your
company which would mini
mize the medical bills now.

DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I don't get along at all.
We have a 3-year-old child
and I am expecting another.
I want to divorce my hus-
band but I couldn't manage
on what he could pay me
weekly. When the new baby
comes, we'll have more ex-
penses and the same income.
Do you think giving up
my baby as soon as it's born
would be so horrible? l am
young yet and want a better
life for my son and myself.
I could manage with one
child but not with two.
If I decide to give up my
baby, do I need my hus-
bands consent? Please help
me, Abby. I feel so lost and
mixed up. am 20 years old.
MIXED UP
A lawyer can tell you
whether you need your hus-
bands consent to give up
your baby. But your con-
science should tell you that
you have a moral obligation
to consider the fathers
wishes. If you feel "lOst and

to your clergyman, or get in
touch with your Family

The Presidents of the United
States of Brazil and the United
States of America. Juscelino
Kubitschek de Oliveira and
Dwight D. Eisenhower, meet
ing together in the new city
of Brasilia, soon to be the
capital of Brazil, reaffirm the
joint determination of the two
nations:
The Democratic freedoms
and fundamental rights of
man, wherein are included the
fight against racial discrimina-
ton and reputation of any at
tempt against religious free
dom and of any limitation on
the expression of thought. These
are inalienable conquestS OF
civilization which all free men
have the duty to protect, bear
ing in mind the sacrifices of
soldiers of both countries in
the last war and the need to
prevent a repetition of the
causes which led to the loss
of so many young and precious
lives.
The belief that the aspira-
ton of the people of the Amer
icas to an ever-improving way
of life, moral and material, pre-
sents one of the great chal-
lenges and opportunities of our
time. This challenge should be
met by joining together, ever
more closely and tremendously,
the efforts of all countries with
in the inter- American COM
munity in order that, through
co-ordinated action, there may
be an intensification of meas
ures capable of combating
acknowledgements in a vast
area of the American CONT
nent.
The full augmentation of
the principles of political and
economic solidarity contained
in the charter of the Organi-
zation of American States and
in the mutual assistance treaty
of, Rio de Janeiro.
The recognition that eco
nomic advancement cannot be
disassociated from the preser-
walton of peace and democratic
rights and that the effort of
each nation must be compile
mented by action helping all
Americans to achieve improved
living standards which will

Starting next July /, the
Treasury could carry over I'M
used portions of the 2 per cent
authority for two years. For
instance. if no new issues were
sold above 414 per cent during
the next two fiscal years, the
Treasury could sell about STA
billion in the third year.
The committee bill also would
remove the 4h4 per cent ceiling
completely on special issues of
bonds sold to the social security
trust fund and other Govern
ment trust funds.
Savings Bonds Exception
Another provision would
completely remove the IA
per cent ceiling on interest
rates for savings bonds. The
rate on E and H bonds now is
334 per cent.
Some Democratic opponents
of Underestimate legislation con-
tend relaxation of the ceiling
for Government bonds would
raise the general level of in

iStration maintains that the
ceiling has failed to halt the
rise of interest rates on credit
markets, and has, in fact,
raised rates on some types OF
credit by distorting Govern
ment borrowing.
