to lose ground in the ability
to adapt to a fiance, a breakup
may be the best solution.
If AFTER BEING engaged
for a while one is bored with
the other this too is a danger
signal. 1t may mean that one
has outgrown the other or
that their relationship has al
ready worn itself out. Where
love exists it will stimulate
and inspire, not bore either
party.
If an engagement is in dam
ger, again a third party may
be appealed to. Others will be
less likely to say that the
break was ill-advised and
hasty.

Sum and Substance:
Ralph Chaplin And
Solidarity Forever
by Fir. John B. Sheerin, esp.

Worker during the depression.
From the list of his friends
including such men as the pic
turesque Joe Hill, Eugene
Debs and Bill Haywood, you
can understand how close he
lived to the whole movement
for justice to industrial work
erS.
ONE OF HIS GREATEST
challenges came from foreign
elements in labor. They in
filtrated the movement for
reform j.. and propagandized
anti-AmericaniSm. Radical as
he was, he was nevertheless
American to his fingertips and
so he came to grips with the
insurgents. He thereby incur
red the disfavor of certain la
Dor leaders who criticized him
for having betrayed the labor
movement. In later years, es-
pecially, he fought like a tiger
to save the movement from
falling under communist con-
troll.
The New York Times Q948)
review of his autobiography
described him rather contemp-
tuously as a 6~2-year-old man
who is tired" and "who
spends his time in his beauti-
full garden near Chicago. He is
no longer a radical.
"coNFuSED, CROPPING, bit
ter at the communists, he
tries earnestly to rationallze
his intellectual and emotional
impasse after so years of activ-
ity in the radical movement"

Making Marriage CLick

there is an increase in the
number of points of friction.
But the strength of ones love
more than offsets this prob
lem. The first quarrel is not
necessarily a sign that an en-
gagement should be broken.
It may only Indicate a growth
of the "we' feeling. These
quarrels are not important.
How they are settled, how
ever, is most important.
A TRUE LOVER will be
humble and admit when he
or she is wrong. Neither will
turn the disagreement into a
verbal lashing Of the other.
They will attack the problem,
not the person.
Often other people brought
into the quarrel widen the
breach instead of helping to
bridge it. But a wise neutral
third party, oftentimes a priest
or teacher, will quickly de-
tect the real problem and
help the couple understand
themselves and the problem.
1t may be found that one of
them is upset physically and
failed to reveal it to the
other.

Last week | mentioned
t h a t an engagement
should last long enough
for a person to be sure
he should marry this par
ticular person. This is a time
to plan for marriage, to get
others used to the couple as a
couple and for the couple to
feel the oneness" of this
partnership.
A REASONABLE engage
ment period varies, depending
on how far along the couple
has travelled before betrothal,
how much they give to such
progress after becoming en-
gagged, whether they are sep
arated or not, how mature
both are, etc.
A couple who spend this
period many miles apart and
depend chiefly upon letters
as their means of communica-
ton will need more time than
a couple who see each other

rule should be measured in
months rather than in weeks.

many drawbacks.

BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star staff Writer

In a section Of India where
natural radiation is 10 to is
times that of most areas Of
the world, observers have found
no obvious changes in the
population.
The people there have re-
ceived several times the radia-
ton from natural sources that
the rest of the world gets from
all major sources natural,
medical and industrial - and
many times that now resulting
from fallout. They have lived
for generations in this high
radiation area and have noticed
no i'll effects. Nor do prelim-
mary scientific observations
show any obvious i'll effects.
Scientists now want to make
an intensive study to see If
subtle changes in the life span
and heredity of these people
can be detected. The Indian
government has expressed in
terest in having her own SCI
entists make the study.
The preliminary observations
will be described in the second
report of the United Nations
Scientific Committee on the Eff
fects Of Atomic Radiation, to
be published in about two
months.
Brazil Area Affected
The U. N. report will deal
also with Guaripari, Brazil, an
other area where natural radia-
ton is extremely high due to
outcroppings of thorium.
The Indian area is a coastal
belt 100 miles long. The region,
called Travancore, straddles the
southern part Of the Kerala
State and the northern part
Of the Madras State. The high
radiation comes from sands
containing thorium and uran-
ium.
Scientists have calculated
that an average person in the
area might get an external
dose Of is roentgens a year -

Background

DESPAIR once more clutched
- Washington. The Massachusetts,
volunteers had fought their way
through Baltimore to defend the
Federal Capital, but what were their
hundreds compared to the $1,000
Virginians rumored ready to attack
at any moment from across the
Potomac?
Maryland still churned with hos
tility. SeceSsionists there had cut the
telegraph connections out of Wash
ington. They had destroyed railroad
bridges and tracks over which more
troops could come to the city'S aid via
either Baltimore or Annapolis. Even
the Maryland leaders who wanted
to keep their State in the Union
beseeched President Lincoln to detour
reinforcementS around the State and
up the Potomac River. But this ap-
proach was menaced by Confederates
on the Virginia shore.
Lincoln did agree to have the troops
skirt Baltimore, but cross Maryland
they must-if they were to come at
all. In the depths of his concern, the
President was heard to mutter: why
don't they come? Why don't they

isolation, he expressed doubt to the
men of the 9Th Massachusetts, that
there really was such a thing as the

dents anxieties. Those who had not

break and came through to Wash

were accompanied to Annapolis juno
ton by 800 Massachusetts, troops of
Gen. LBenjamin Franklinl Buffers bri-
gade, which they left there. AS the 7th
debarked at the depot, the I6thl
Massachusetts, Regiment stationed at
the Capitol set UP shout that might
have been heard a mile off. and imme-
diately an immense crowd :. collected
at all the approaches to the Depot. and
such a scene of shouting and excite
ment has certainly never before been
witnessed here.
The 7th and the 800 Massachusetts,
troops left Annapolis at am. yes
terday. throwing out SkirmiSherS .
and taking with them their sick and
baggage in a train Of cars. The track
was torn up in innumerable places all
the way from Annapolis to the juno
ton, and had to be relaid as they came
through.
Shortly before o'clock the 7th Regi-
ment emerged from the depot and
marched up the avenue, presenting its
usual superb appearance, notwithStand-
ing the fatigue and exposure. AS
they proceeded up the avenue, heralded
by the magnificent regimental band, the
scene was the most brilliant and eX-
citing imaginable. HouSetopS, windows,
balconies and sidewalks were black with
