DEAR ABBY: Some friends
Of ours own q resort. The
wife interviews all the appli-
cants for jobs and does all
the hiring and firing. II you
saw that collection Of maids
and mattresses, you'd think it
was an old ladies' home. A
girl under so hasn't q chance
to get hired there, and even
q good-looking matron over
50 gets fired II she looks
sideways at the husband.
It's true in his younger
days this man was mixed up
with some Of the help and
gave his wife q pretty bad
time, but now that he's fat,
bald and over 60, don't you
think she should let the old
goat run the business and
quit worrying about him?
A FRIEND.
Your friend knows her hus-
band better than you do.

are more moderately paced,
who like to relax instead Of
searching for excitement.
That could be what's wrong
with her tired husband. He's
plain tuckered out from

"It's all right with me If
these people are happy only
when going wide open and
flipping around all hours Of

they extend the same cour-
tesies to us moderate people
by leaving us alone If we
are happy? No, they want
to remodel us. To prove
what? I don't know.
Most Of these naggers
will keep on until they make
one feel like a complete idiot.
These reformers and naggers
are never pleased until they
wear you out body and soul.
II have learned much of
this from my own personal
experience. My husband is
aggressive. He is dominated
by his watch. Whenever he
has anything to do, he goes

HERE'S A LETTER from
q reader that I think deserves
reprinting. See If you don't
agree.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: You
recently answered a letter
from a 51-year-old human
energy pill" who had life all
figured out. But there was
one little detail she didn't
mention. She hasn't yet fig
ured out how to remake her
husband, so to speak. and
how to concentrate on what
makes him happy.
Frankly, I'm sorry for the
mani I'll bet it's not his age
bothering him but his wife.
And after so many years of
her. maybe his strength is
gone. poor man.
why can't she accept him
as he is. adjust to his relaxed
way Of life. and let them
both have peace? You ad-
vised her to get him to q
doctor. adding that she had
a problem and was not alone
in her situation. I suspect
you got q different meaning
from her words than did.
She impressed me as being
the type that bores me to
distraction, the kind that
makes me want to go to bed
and cover my head!
Seriously, such people

Good Pennnonship a Major Key
BY LESLIE J. MASON, Ed. D.,
with HARRY KARNS

with HARRY KARNS
Don't kid. yourself that
good penmanship Is no longer
important in this world Of
typewriters, dictaphones, and
tape recorders.
It's Just as important to
you as it was to your grand
father when he went to
school.
Poor handwriting Is one
OF the major reasons why
students fail.
The student has no type
writer or recorder with him
In the classroom when TAX
ing notes or answering exam
questions. If he writes well,
he stands q better chance Of
making good grades.
Writing happens to be o
complex chore.
(. First, you must form q
concept or picture In your
mind. Then you must put
this into words. and arrange
the words in sentences. Next,
you must write all the nee
eSsary letters and symbols
on the paper With the capi-
tails and the punctuation
marks In the right places
and with the words spelled
correctly.
Writing is Q muscular aS
well as q mental operation.
II the writing muscles are
poorly trained and too weak
to work very long, you are
handicapped almost as much
as you would be by o dam
aged brain.
We never really under.
stood what 0 severe block
poor writing habits can be
until we met John. He came
to US complaining Of low
grades on essay type exams.
His penmanship was terrible.
We suggested simply that
he practice writing. We
hoped his grades might be
raised by what Is called the
"halo" effect. That Is, the
teacher might grade him
higher because, his paper
looked good, not necessarily
because he had more to say.
John practiced. his pen
manship improved, and he
got better grades on essay
questions. The old halo ef-
feet was workingl
We glanced at some Of his
new papers and received o
pleasant surprise. The an
swers were greatly improved
In meaning and content as
well as appearance.
Writing Helped Thinking
This improvement was
linked with his new muscular
skill In writingl Having
gained that skill, he was able
to think Of what instead Of
how to write.
To check that conclusion,
Evening star., 1961-02-06

we repeated the experiment
with student after student
always with the same results.
There was, for example,
Ed. He brought US two exam
papers from his sophomore
economies class at the uni
versity. One had been graded
%" the other D-minus." Ed
felt that an injustice had
been done. He had worked
hard, and deserved better
grades.
What am I doing wrong?"
An analysis Of the papers
showed that Ed didn't write
easily. The further he went
in the exam, the worse his
writing got, until finally it
,deteriorated into Q meaning
less scrawl.
The physical chore dis
tracted him from the subject
matter.
We advised him to train
his writing muscles and exer-
else them. We gave him Q
brief paragraph Of three SEN
tences and told him to write
1t over and over again.
Try the following proce-
dure. which we suggested to
him: .-.v.
Q Sit ct O desk or table Of
comfortable height.
Q Get your arm in Q COM
Portable position.
o Hold your pencil In o COM
Portable manner, without
cramping your hand or fin
gers.
. Write several trial words.
Remember that style Of pen
manship doesn't matter. The
important thing Is to form
letters reasonably well and
move the pencil easily on the
paper.
Q Write three brief SEN
tences over and over again.
By the third writing you
should have the material you
are copying 50 clearly In

Fairfax County, which is
rapidly expanding virtually

booms, is suddenly expanding
in the newspaper field. 90
Three weeks ago a new
weekly, the Vienna Virginian,
began publishing in the Town
of Vienna.
During September two other
weeklies will appear, both IN
the new. City of Fairfax. A
third newspaper there - the
Fairfax Herald, has been pub
hshed for 70 years.
The Vienna paper is edited
by former Representative Jack
Davies, who was a journalist
for many years in New York
State. -
Two officers of the Vienna
paper, Edward w. Alfriend ~
and John R. Harris, are also
directors Of the new Fairfax
City Times. ,.. -,
The Times, according to its
publisher, Bennett w. King,
will begin publishing in mid
September. -
The other weekly in the City
of Fairfax, the Fairfax Free
Press. will publish its first
issue September Z.
Its publisher, Roosevelt der
Tatevasion, who also publishes
the Fairfax County Sun Echo,
said his paper would circulate
to 5000 families in Fairfax,

Yesterday the bill passed the

to learn more details by asking

But House Majority Leader

of Bell Telephone Laboratories;
John Thomas Connor, presi-
dent of Merck & Co., Inc. and

The. announcement conspicu-
ously failed to mention Ellis
A. johnson. director of the
ORC when it was under Johns
Hopkins. Mr.. johnson had been
outspokenly critical of the
Army's handling of the ORC,
charging that a conservative
group dominating the Army
wanted to control the research
to avoid anything controversial.
Although Mr.. Johnson no
longer is connected with the
group, the Army has kept the
old ORO'S professional staff
as a nucleus" for the new
organization. Mr.. Parker gave
assurance there would be an
orderly switch over and no
interruption of the research.
Mr.. johnson had warned
last May after the quarrel be-
came public that the staff was
the most skilled in the Army
and that it would take 10
years to replace it.
Mr.. Parker said in the an
nouncement today that in
organizing RAG "the Army

create an organization of the
utmost value to the Army, with

For the benefitof those who
have found themselves getting
a bit woozy from trying to un-
derstand what they can and
cannot do if and when stand
up drinking is introduced TO
the District. the following is
respectfully submitted:
According to the BILL that
now has passed the House and
awaits only Senate approval,
slipping of spiritUous drinks
while standing will be per-
mitted in restaurants furnish
ing for that purpose a special
area, screened off from the res
taurant proper.
A secondary feature will per-
NIT sit-down drinking at bars
of alcoholic drinks stronger
than beer and wine. Under
present regulations only keer
and light wines may be- served
at the bar. Anything stronger
has to be served at tables.
No StrOIling
There still won't be any
strolling around the restaurant
with a drink in ones hand.
That would be permitted only
in the Screened-off enclosure.
The intended purpose of this
enclosure is to give patrons a
place to have a nice, quiet
drink while waiting for table
space in the restaurant.
This is how the favorable re-
port of the House District
Committee interprets the bill.
However, the bill itself merely
says drinks will be srved ito
persons in an enclosed or
screened-off area in any such
restaurant set aside for ac-
comodation of persons waiting
to be seated at public tables. /"

sThe Research Analysis Corp,
private non-profit successor
to Johns Hopkins University's
controversial Operations Re-
search office, began operations
today in Bethesda.
The new organization has
450 employees headed by Frank
A. Parker, Jr., former assistant
director of defense research and
engineering in the Defense
Secretary's office.
RAG will perform as a SCI
entific advisory group for the
Army under a new contract,
using scientists and technical
help in it's headquarters at
$685. Arlington road, the same
address as the ORO's.
The organization claims to
be the largest operations re-
search group in the Washing
ton area. 1t will continue un-
finished studies of the Johns
Hopkins unit, and also do
Army research in such fields
as weapons systems evaluation.
The Army decided to switch
activities in the hush-hush
agency from Johns Hopkins to
a private corporation after a
hassle erupted between the old
ORC and top civilians in the
Department of the Army over
control Of the research.
The ORC was repeatedly ex-
pert in guerilla warfare and
other aspects of limited war.
Fhe ORC was officially dis
solved yesterday.

ton is Gen. Omar N. Bradley.
