About Uie same time, a HEAD- four lives. One of the cars was I even, affainst desire filled with youths returning from a wedding party. Perhann some neonle will not aeree with i certainly it is their privilege to disagree. But I believe it is time we were (fettinjr some laws to prevent a minority in organized labor from forcing idle ness and economic losses on a majority, some of whom at least are reluctant to join in a dispute. Any criticism of organized labor, any suggestion for control, meets immediate disapproval from labor lead ers. Then, too, perhaps the idea is wrong. But I firmly believe that if a man is to be compelled to respect a picket i,j'line he should have something to say whether or not a Kena ; . , . ,. . . . ui:i i piCKPl line 1.1 lu lie emituiinneu. We have seen so much of the will of the minority forced on the majority. Because organized labor governs itself by the "one-for-all" philosophy, a picket line thrown up by one group is respected by others. Yet workmen may be forced into a labor dispute against their judgment, or, DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Burcn Amid All Of The (rises Of Today, Pound Sterling's Is About Lost Don't Hesitate --Act! the international and domestic crowd crises of the day the pound sterl ing is going through a perennial The moral? I think it's this: The most dangerous spot in America is THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE HIGHWAY. How to insure better driving? Our instinctive thought is to pass mora laws. Personally, I have a notion that SI ORE COPS would get better re. suits. The feeling that a cop may be watching us somehow makes us all more cautious. More CAUTION on the highways is very important indeed if more accidents are to be avoided. Modern holidays mean fun in the tun. Question: Is fun in the sun threatened? Read (his: Does your skin LOOK OLDER? If so, it may be due largely to the long term effects of sunlight on un covered epidermis, a famous der matologist reported yesterday. The sun tends to make the skin look dry, coarse, leathery and wrinkled, besides causing changes in color. Dr. John M. Knox of Bay lor University reports. By association of ideas, speaking of uncovered areas of epidermis brings to mind Miss Marilyn Mon roe, whose recent operation has just been pronounced complete success. At first, the papers re ported, she was opposed to it. Why? It would LEAVE A SCAR. Where? Well, a scar almost ANYWHERE on Miss Monroe would be visible r ' Happy ending: She finally decided to have the operation and the surgeon who per formed it has just reported that it will LEAVE NO SCAR. In conclusion: ' ' . . With such thoughts as these accidents on the highways, fun in the sun, will operations result in scars, and such are our thoughts on the eve of the Fourth of July concerned. Just 185 years ago this evening, our forbeaia were wondering whether the Declaration of Inde pendence would be signed the next day. Well-it WAS SIGNED. Signing it took a lot of courage. But out of the signing of the Declaration of Independence grew the greatest nation In the world. That's worth remembering. Recent Example Seen For example, take the case of the two Portland news papers, a comparatively recent dispute with which we are familiar. A handful of men, insisting upon baving their own way, forced a strike involving around 900 men. Other un ions respected picket lines put up by a few sterotypers who insisted on dictating terms to management. Without entering into the merit of the dispute itself, was it proper that less than a dozen men should deprive 000 of employment? 1 happen to know that some of the men did not ap prove of the issue over which the strike was called. They were forced into unemployment and economic loss with out having a word to say. Management was successful in combatting the strike. Except for a few who elected to return to their jobs, nearly all the men forced out of employment . lost their jobs. Many of them had to move away. Some found other jobs. A few were given jobs on a newspaper started and sub sidized in an effort to break the two major newspapers economically. I am not saying that there were not sufficient grounds for a strike. Perhaps the issues justified a labor dispute. But shouldn't all the people involved have had something to say about it, rather than having a .fractional minority wreck the economy of the majority? Not long ago our airlines were tied ud for a consid erable time. One small segment of workers went on strike. As a result other workers respected their nicket lines. The whole nation was discommoded. Pilots, stewardess es, ground crews and others individually lost heavily in dollars. Yet they had nothing to sav about being forced into idleness and financial losses by the actions of a few. Strike! Impending One of the major labor issues today surrounds the great maritime strike. Tt is costing the nation a tremen dous amount of money. Yet, while picket lines are re spected by workers, we find that a dispute exists between laDor unions as well as with management. One group made vigorous protest about being forced into idleness. The point I am trying to make is that before a strike is called all affected workers should have a part In the matter. One small segment shouldn't be permitted to force losses upon others. . We may expect considerable labor trouble in the com ing months. I anticiDate. Dpsnile the fact we hnvp insf been through a period of recession a period in which un employment was higher than it has been for years I am of the opinion that we'll see a lot more unemployment because of strikes. Economic prospects are that business nnrl Indnsd-v will be hitting a high peak this year. Economists pre dict a high volume of production next year. In such times organized labor demands its share in nrnrlntinn m-nfit i useii in snape lo participate, labor demands im proved contracts ana enforces its demands by way of the strike. There can't be anv objection fn ihe !m nt lniim- in sharing in profits. But, it seems to me, all affected work ers should have something to say about whether they are to be forced into the ranks of the unemployed, rather than naving ine decision marie bv a fractional few. DEAR ABBY: I think I married the wrong man. The first year of our marriage 1 got pregnant. My husband never cared for children and, when I started to show, he told me every day how funny and disgusting I looked. I hoped he would change alter the baby came, but he was worse. When the baby would cry at feeding time, my husband made me take the baby outside and feed bim in the car. He even had adoption papers drawn up, them. When our little boy was five months old I got pregnant again. This lime my husband acted like a mad man. I started lifting things no woman in her right mind would think of lifting in that condition, and 1 had the miscar riage I wanted. (I still cannot for give myself for this.) My religion does not permit divorce. Must 1 live with this beast the rest of my life? 1 am 19 and he is 24.

James Marlou) Rougher Going Is Likely To Lie Ahead For Kennedy Readers Opinion Women's Scanty Apparel Draws Rap From Reader To The Editor: When the warm weather comes there is the perennial shortage in feminine wearing apparel in all sizes and ge groups generally about six sites too short and about two sizes too small. The mere male will never tin derstand why many of the femin ine sex like to go about ill-clad during the. warm weather. The ladies simply say, "We like to keep cool," and unblushingly display their bulging thighs for all to see. "If you don't like the way we dress you can look the other way," they say. Even in sunny California ladies do not go shopping in sunbathing suits. Many cities have ordinances to protect the iadiei and the pub lic from indecent exposure.

She starts making remarks such as, "Some girls like real expen sive engagement rings, but 1 think that s a waste of money, don t you?" When you tell a funny story at a party, she chuckles even before you reach the punch line. She begins to lake a kindly in terest in your money.

Up till June 30 President Ken nedy's administration had com parativelya delightful time with both Congress and the Russians. In Congress, where he lacks enough support to- sail his pro grams through as he asks, he used Iwo simple but adroit meth ods to get what he wanted: J 1. For the most part he offered very moderate 'programs which, by their nature, avoided violent opposition: differences with mem bers of Congress on various points but not on total programs. 2. He used pressure, persuasion and concessions by himself and members of his White House staff In win over such opposition as he had. This has been a very smooth operation. Kennedy's own 15 years in Congress made him expert on this. The result was a big batch of legislation which if that had been all that was involved would have given him a very successful first year in office. But it wasn't all. Congress cleaned up most of the programs before June 30. But the three biggest and most con troversial were left over until af ter the Fourth of July holiday. These were federal aid to ed ucation, the foreign aid program and medical care for the aged. The medical care bill looks just about dead for 1961, isn't likely to get action until 1062. The big stumble in his foreign aid program is his request to Congress lo give him authority to promise this aid on a five-year basis. He wants recipient nations to be able to plan long-range in stead of on the present year-lo year basis. Congress is hesitant about sign ing the check for that far ahead There'll be rough-and-tumble oni this one.
