Do you start out early to

happen in the crush. Do
you politely apologize or do
you glare disdainfully If &C

To the ladies: Do you show
consideration for men who
may be shopping too? All
too often they are brushed
aside while you take their
place at the counter. This
is one time when the axiom
of ladies first" should not
be followed. After all. a man
has the right to take his
place in line to do his shop

extremely unfair to step in
his place.

Questions, Answers

Question-My husband and
I are going to take a winter
vacation at a resort. Can
you tell us what the differ
ence is between the Ameri-
can and European plans that
they advertise? Mrs. P. r. B.
Answer-On the European
plan you pay only for the
meals that you eat. The
American plan includes three
meals a day. and their cost is
included in the charge for
your room. Which plan you
choose depends on whether
or not you expect to be near
the hotel at meal times, or
whether you will be gadding
about, eating other places
part Of the time.

Question: enjoyed and
learned a lot from your re-
cent column about Christmas
cards. But I have a rather
odd "how to address" prob
lem. I am quite friendly
with a married couple who
are both doctors. How in
the world do ] address a card
to them? ''Dr. and DR..
John Jones'? This doesn't
sound right. Mr.. H. p. w.
Answer-It isn't. There
are two ways to handle this,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-11-27

Now that Thanksgiving is
over, the realization that
Christmas is just around the
corner has dawned on us all.
Lists are being made out and
the shopping spree is start
ing.
Yesterday afternoon I
bumped into Mrs. Inexperi-
enced as she was returning
from her first Christmas
shopping toray. Apparently
minor Illustrations and
clashes with the salespeople
had put our little friend in
an extremely irritable frame
of mind.
Her lament was a series Of
criticisms of the salespeople,
their lack of courtesy, rude
ness, etc. The thought crossed
my mind that perhaps her
own attitude had brought
about many of the discour-
teSieS. she had met with. Not
that the salespeople are not
to blame some of the time!
The We'll. what do YOU
want?" attitude is overdone
far too many times these
days. They are doing you a
favor, not the other way
round!
However, regardless Of
which side Of the fence you
may be on, 1t seems to me
that during the next few
hectic weeks, when Christ
mas shopping will be at its
height, that courtesy should
be the most important thing.
Remember, a gracious word
is an easy obligation, and
really pays big dividends.
Based on this idea, ask your
self a few questions.
Before you start on a shop
ping trip do you make a list
Of the people for whom you
are going to buy gifts, plac-
ing beside each name q sug-
gestion or two of the articles
you might buy?' This saves a
lot Of hunting around.
Even though it is not easy
to maintain a friendly smile
and a conSiderate manner
when you have to battle your
way through crowds of peo-
pie, do you start on your
tour determined to be cour-
teouS, no matter what?
Above all. do you take into.
consideration the poor sales
people? Some of them are
impossible, I will admit, but
the majority are anxious to
serve you as best they can.
Remember, you only have to
deal with one of them at a
time. They have to deal with
hundreds every day and
some Of them aren't as polite

Moss Sees
More PoyoIo
Scandals
BY ISABELLE SHELTON
Star STAFF Writer


The country will hear
much more of the payola
evil when the House Sub
committee on Legislative
Oversight resumes its hear
ings into television on Feb
ruary 9, Representative John
E. Moss, Democrat of Cali
fornia, told the Woman's
National Democratic Club
yesterday.
The subcommittee, of
which he is a member, has
received "a considerable
number" of new complaints
on payola since it adjourned
last November, Mr.. Moss
said, adding, these are ex-
pected to be gone into at
considerable length"
The Federal Communica-
tions Commission has been
running away from the chal-
lenge" of eXerting its prop
er authority to regulate the
television industry, the CAL
fornian charged.
Instead, he said, the FEC
"has been seeking excuses
for failing to do that which
is the only proper reason
for it's existence. 1t has OPP
Grated as though it were
afraid of tackling the payola
and quiz problems"
The FEC and the Federal
Trade Commission have been
dragging their feet instead Of
cleaning up the TV payola
and quiz scandals, Mr.. Moss
said.
The two agencies appear
to have authority under the
law to eradicate much, If not
all, of the deceptive and cor
rupt practices" which have
been disclosed, he declared.
Many members Of the
oversight committee. includ-
ing Mr.. Moss, believe that
more timely and vigorous ac-
ton" by the two agencies can
eradicate a majority of the
abuses, he said.
The industry has taken
certain commendable correc-
tive actions" since the recent
scandals broke, the Congress-
man observed, But much
more needs to be done, and
additional legislation prob

Silent Satellite

By the Associated Press

The Defense Department
thinks it has solved the mystery
of the mystery satellite: It's
probably part Of q Discoverer
rocket that was supposed to
come back to earth but didn't.
The department said yester-
day 1t came to this conclusion
after continuing study by Navy
and Air Force tracking stations.
The existence of the silent
satellite. tumbling in q nearly
polar orbit, was announced
February 3.
There was much speculation
about it. including theories that
it was a Russian spy satellite or
that it was a tiny natural moon
nobody had ever noticed before.
Russia denied having anything
to do with it.
The Defense Department an
nouncement yesterday said 1T

rocket which imparts to the
capsule a velocity of about
1900 to 1.4O0 feet per second
with respect to its carrier
rocket.
1T is known that the Dis
coverer v capsule was elected.
However. the carrier rocket
probably was not in the proper
position for election toward the
earth. The energy impaired by
the retro-rocket was such as to
provide an orbit similar to that
of the unidentified satellite"
The Government has tried
several times to bring these
capsules back to earth after
putting them in orbit with car
rier rockets. One is believed to
have returned to earth, but it
was never found.

By unanimous consent, the

tee to iron out differences be-
tween the two houses.
The Senate previously had
passed a two-year $1.8 billion
measure carrying grants for
school construction and teach
ers' salaries.
The House passed a four
year $1.3 billion program au-
thorizing the use of Federal
funds for only school construc-
tion.
There was informal agree
ment in advance that the

drop the controversial teacher
salary provision, accept the

Federal payments to segregated
schools, and adopt a Senate
formula for fund distribution
which would give more money
to needy States.
