DEAR ABBY =.
He's Still Young EnotionaIIy
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: Can you or
anyone help me? I married
this wonderful young man
even though I was warned
that he was only marrying
me to stay out of the service.
Everyone who knew him said
he had only one love - his
mother. She was all for the
wedding but allowed us just
one night together. Then she
moved in with us.
If she'd see my husband
kiss me, she'd cry all day.
She refused to let me close
our bedroom door. Il closed
it once and she pretended TO
have a heart attack Then
my husband moved his bed
into her room and that's the
way it has been for five
months. He says he is sorry
but he can't hurt his mother
and, if I don't like it. I had
better leave. I love him, Abby.
What am I to do?
UNDESIRED
Face it. EmOtiOnally your
husband Is still a babe in his
mothers armS-and that's
where he will remain until he
agrees to seek professional
help in growing up. If he re-
fuses to grow up-talk to
your clergyman. You are
fighting a losing battle.
DEAR ABBY: I like a boy
in the eighth grade. Il am
in the seventhO Last night I
called him up and asked him
if my girl friend could have
his picture. ct wasn't really
for my girl friend. it was for
me. but I didn't want to tell
him that. He said no.
Then I called him up again
and asked him If he would
give ME his picture. He said
no again.
Then I called him up to
ask him what time the bas-
ketball game started and this
time his mother answered
the phone and told me to quit
bothering him.
I really like him, Abby. l
want to know if I should call
him up tonight and apologize
for bothering him?
SORRY
Don't call. This boy has
your number. Forget his.
DEAR ABBY: 1 am a mess.
I am IL years old, weigh las
pounds and am 5 feet tall. My
problem is that my mother
won't take me to a doctor to
help me lose weight. She
says if I don't have the will
power to lose weight by my
self, I can just stay fat.
Il don't eat as much as she
thinks I do.) At the movies
they don't believe I am only
IL. They say I look Is be-
cause I am so big. Please
help me, Abby.
THE BIG GIRL
Lack Of willpOwer is only
one reason for excess weight.
Other factors could be con-
tributing to 1t. Only a doctor
is qualified to make this
judgment and recommend
the 'cure." Keep asking your
mother to take you to a

CHICAGO, July 28.-District

getting the Republican National
Convention to recognize nation

Carl Shipley, District G. o. P
chairman, told the final Dis

placed in the hands of Repub-

introduction at tonight's last

"Mr. Morton is handling the
matter for us, and the chances

Shipley said.
He said he believes the pro-
posed resolution is sufficiently
watered-down from the fisca,
aid plank sought in the plat
form to win approval. District
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin. who also is a member
of the District delegation, has
concurred in the language Of
the proposed resolution, Mr.

Gil of the Textile Workers
Union of America has declared
its support of Democratic NOM
inee John F. Kennedy for Pres

The council, meeting here in

day that the Eisenhower ad-

with Indifference" The coun-
Gil added:
There is no shred of justifi-
cation for any hope that this
attitude would change if Vice

THE Republican Party rec

exercise of its exclusive juris-
diction over the District of Co.
lumbia under the Constitution
continue to do all things nee
eSsary to make it a modern and
efficient community to meet

Capital.
Mr.. Shipley initially tried to
| get recognition of the Districts
fiscal woes in the G. o. P. plat
form.
He proposed a plank that
would have called for adequate
Federal financial aid" to the
Capital, plus support of suf-
frage. AS the plank emerged,
however, there was no mention
of Federal aid. 1t did, how
ever, support full suffrage for
the District-including a vote
/ for President and Vice Presi-
dent, representation in Con-
gress and local self government
The plank remained intact as
the G. o. P. platform was ap-
proved last night.

to cast its eight votes for Henry
Cabot Lodge, ir., for the vice
presidential nomination to-

yesterday from the Republican
National Convention in Chi

liberal civil rights plank
adopted by the party's Plat

Senator Butler denied, how

Malpractice Suits Here
Numerous, PorIey Told

The District has a greater
number of malpractice suits
against doctors and hospitals

cases easier TO win, H. Mason

Washington's courthouse is
the home of a ghostly court
that has no case pending or
even in sight, no one on the
payroll and the chief judge $50
miles away.
Once the Emergency Court of
Appeals was watched nation
ally as hundreds of litigants
flocked to its counters and its
decisions flowed out to regulate
the American wartime economy
There still is a sign for the
court Office on the fourth floor,
but usually no one is there to
open the door or answer the
phone. The acting clerk has
another full-time job.
The Emergency Court of
Appeals once had five judges
whose circuit took in the entire
United States. in a modern
parallel to the frontier circuit
riding juristS.
Congress has declined to do
away with the emergency court,
which was first put into opera

where citizens could appeal the

1t was provided that the
judges would go to the scenes
of the appeals rather than
stay in Washington, because
the wartime transportation re-
strictionS might handicap some
of the litigantS.
Mr.. Mattingly recalls trips
into far reaches of the United
States and, especially, mid
winter sessions in unheated
schoolhouses and midsummer
hearings in fanless old South
ern courthouses.
But the reputation of the
court bench was high, lawyers
who practiced before it, recall.
They picked top judges for a
brutal jurisdiction and they
did nobly," one declared.
The court has heard three
cases in the last four years.
The court isn't advertising for
business. it isn't in the phone
book anymore. But it is open.
People talk about it in the
past tense, as If it closed up
years ago, but as long as Con-
gress doesn't act, it will con-

of price control because it dealt
continuously with the subject.
The national jurisdiction of the
court in the price control field
avoided wide variations in price
rules by different courts.
But the court. despite heroic
labors by the member judges,
only touched the edge of the
problem, it was admitted. The
situation was really too dy-
manic and f1uctuating too con-
stantly, critics said, for formal
litigation to keep up.
Most important, it was said,
the presence of a court where
individuals could go to appeal
Federal actions in the price
fixing field helped discourage
discrimination in favor of the
more influential.
The emergency court broke
several precedents in the his
tory of American courts. Con-
greSs followed the Constitution
in setting it up to take over a
jurisdiction which would have
been that of the District Courts.
1t had exclusive jurisdiction
over the validity of price and
rent regulations, subject only
to Supreme Court review.
