Alcoholism has been described as the condition
of those whose excessive drinking creates serious prob
lens in the management of their lives and yet who are
usually unable to stop drinking permanently, even if
the want to, without outside help.
THREE TRAITS are usually found here: exces-
sive drinking over a period of time, serious life prob
lens caused by or connected with drinking, and some
times even such a compulsion to drink that a person

Back before World War
II, the big problem on the
American scene, judging
from the number of arti-
Gals written on it, was how
to be happy though mar
ried. Articles were carried
frequently by newspapers and
magazines on variations of
the theme-Are YOU a happy
wife Tor husband).
ONE COULD find OUT ones
state of happiness by filling
out the multiple choice ques-
lions at the end of the ar
ticle. The questions seemed
to be usually designed so that
everyone came out with at
least a 80 per cent mark,
even If he had not sneaked a
look at the answers.
Apparently, either that
problem of happiness in mar
riage no longer exists Or the
experts have given up on it,
Now their attention has turn
ed to another area of family
living. A plethora of articles
roll out from the presses of
the country on the general
theme-Are you a successful
parent-with the implied sub
title-How do you know you
are not raising a juvenile de-
linquent? After a long, hard
day, some parents begin to
think that maybe they are
raising a candidate for the
nearest reform school.
Some of the advice given
by the popular experts is
sound, some inadequate, and
much of it can be con-
fusing. You may remember
the exporting of a few years
ago on the care and feeding
of infants. The idea, then,
was to follow a time SEIZED
ule. You fed the baby at two,
whether he was hungry or
not. You changed his diapers
at three, whether he needed
it or not.
EVERYTHING WAS done
by the clock. Even if the ba-
by we're an individualist and
not in tune with the time, it
was the baby who was adjust
ed to the schedule and not
the schedule to the baby.
Things have changed now.
They have dropped the old
clock-watching routine. The
original idea must have been
devised by a frustrated eff
cheney expert, as they used
to call them. | think they call
them quality-c control en-
gineerS now.
At any rate, the big pitch
now in infant care is TIC
or tender, loving care. to the
uniformed. When do you
feed the baby now? When he
is hungry. How do you know
he is hungry? He has his
mouth open. Any time his
mouth is open, you stuff
something in it before he
does.
THIS is THE ONE reason
we have toddlers who are too
fat to walk. They just roll
along. When they are bun
died up in all their clothing
and fall down, they lie there
completely helpless, Tapping
their arms, like fish out of
water.
There is nothing wrong
with the TIC. approach in
dealing with children. In fact,
there is something very good
about it. Children thrive on
love like a puppy dog thrives
on affection. They have as
great a need for it as the
lungs have for oxygen.
However, this seems to be
the age for giving advice, and
the ones who appear to re-
ceive the most advice are par
ents. Everyone is an expert
on raising children, especial
ly a bachelor aunt Or uncle
who was once exposed to a
course in psychology. Incl
dentally, it is remarkable
how their attitudes change at

Oxygen treatment
Helping Girl, 5,
With Lockiuw

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill,
June 20 (AP).-Camille Varri-
ale. S, was reported recovering
from acute lockjaw today after
oxygen pressure treatment.
Physicians called a construc-
ton firm for the special de-
compression chamber for the
second time in three weeks
while they were still marveling
over the successful treatment
June 2 of Ralph Douma,
72-year-old Bloom Township
farmer, for lockjaw.
Both Mr.. Douma and the
girl were in such critical con-
dition when their tetanus was
diagnosed that, under ordinary
circumstances, they would have
died within a few hours, doc
tors said.
Mr.. Douma's treatment was
a last resort experiment by the
medical staff of st. James Hos
pital. 1t worked, and he is vir-
tually well again.
The Varriale girls two ses-
sionS in the pressure chamber,
with a physician who admin
iStered oxygen to her with a
mask during the treatment
Sunday and Monday, brought
dramatic improvement.
The effect of the pressure is
to step up oxygen assimilation
by the blood stream.

Court Rules Out
Suit for Waldorf
Gambling Debt

Municipal Court Judge
Catherine Kelly has ruled that
Washington courts do not have
the jurisdiction to enforce
gambling debts incurred else
where.
The judge made her ruling
yesterday in memorandum form
in a case involving Thomas w.
Blankenship and George H.
Hamilton, operator of q Wal
dorf MD restaurant.
In a civil suit, Mr.. Hamilton
sought to recover $l,606 he
claimed he lent Mr.. Blanken-
ship. a court reporter with
offices at 939 D street NV, in
1858 and never got back.
Mr.. Blankenship said the
money was used to play legal
lied slot machines in Mr.. Ham,
ilton's Charles County restau-
rant.
Judge Kelly, in her memo
randum. said she found the
loan made to Mr.. Blankenship
was in coins and that Mr.. Ham
ilton had full knowledge they
would be used to play games
of chance. =.
Because the gambling did
not take place in the District,
she ruled. Municipal Court lacks
jurisdiction to decide the ques-
ton. She dismissed the suit.

With the help of perfume
atom1zers and the boss wife,
the Transfers Union is trying
to make itself a precinct level
political power.
A thousand or more of the
unionists and their wives are
expected at a Pittsburgh hotel
tomorrow for the 22d in a

Education movement-or OLA,
the DRIVE Ladies Auxiliary.
DRIVE and OLA are the
twin arms of the Transfers

Zagri, the unions legislation
and political education director,
thinks the ladies' auxiliary is
much the more important.

To lure the ladies into civic
action, Mrs. Hoffa uses ap-
peals both more sentimental
and more feminine than the
call to battle against "the
enemies of labor"
Each So membership includes
a contribution (of 40 cents

than expected" Mr.. Zagri said,

More than one-fifth of the

the 1862 goal Of signing up at
least one-third of their men,

More important, the funds
raised have enabled IA of the

Mr.. Zagri comedies, however,
that the Transfers are still
tagging behind most other big
unions in the political field.
There is an interesting his

The committee last week

For the people in George
town the Massachusetts, Senate
race has been, from the first, a
sore trial.
Old neighbors Of the Demo-
cratic Kennedys are also old
neighbors Of the Republican
Lodges.
For the Republicans, there
has been a further subdivision
between the Lodges, who lived
there for eight years, and the
Curtises, who have been resi-
dents since ne was first elected
to Congress in 1852.
George Cabot Lodge, former
ly of o street, defeated Repre-
sentative Curtis, presently of
o street, in the Massachusetts,
Republican convention last
week end by SO votes. Mr.. Lodge
was the guest Of honor at a
Embarrassing cocktail party
given yesterday at the Fairfax
Hotel by old friends who knew
him when he was in the Labor
Department during the Eisen-
hover regime.
Committee members reported
that the old friends they in
vited before the convention
were also friends of the Cur
tises, and many Of them said,
I'm waiting to see what Mr..
Curtis does"
Since Monday, the telephone
lines have been busy while
friends Of Mr.. Curtis told their
friends that condolences were
premature, because Mr.. Curtis
was "99 per cent sure" to enter
the primary against Mr.. Lodge.
No Comment
Mr.. Curtis himself had no
comment about his plans, and
neither did Mr.. Lodge. Mr..
Curtis is 68. Mr.. Lodge is half
his age.
One Of the Lodge committee
members, Mrs. Wendell Colson,
is the mother of Charles Colson,

.ington investment counselor,
reported that he had received
half a dozen contributions, in
cash, from Democrats with New
Frontier commitments an d
Lodge sympathies. They did not
come to the party, which was
attended by about 100 persons.

panied Lodges parents, the
