Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann: I divorced my wifciToll your sister thanks for the
two years ago. She was the town'offer, but you are satisfied with

after we were married. I got cus
tody of our two small children.
Seven months ago my company
transferred me out of the country
for a three-year period. My ex
wife begged me to let her have
the children. She promised to be

how she could manage the sup
port money ($340 a month) and
not have to go to work. When she
promised to devote full-time to
the.children, I agreed.
I came home two weeks ago on
o short vacation. The kids never
looked healthier cr happier. My
ex-wife seems to have straighten
ed around a lot. -So far as I'm
concerned, she's kept her word.
The problem is this: My sister
wants the kids.. She says theyd
be better off with her and she'll
keep them if I give her the sup
port money. She claims a leopard
never changes its spots. What do
you say? Boston.
t Dear Boston: Your ex-wife is
not a leopard she's a person,

children are healthy and happy

wife has settled down for keeps.
Missile Fund
Slash Wanted
WASHINGTON tOPIi Hep
William E. Minshall (R-Ohio) said
today he would ask the House
to slash 200 million dollars more
from Bomarc missile funds in the
defense appropriation bill.
Minshaii s announcement fore
shadowed a floor fight over the
'relative merits of the Air Force
Bomarc and the Army's rival
Nike-Hercules air defense missiles
when the $38,848,339,000 military
money bill comes up for debate
Tuesday.
Rep. George H. Mahon (D-Tex.)
chairman of the appropriations
subcommittee which wrote the
bill, said he looked for fights over
some amendments.
The bill carries all but $399.
861,000 of the amounts requested
by the Eisenhower administration
to run the armed forces in the,
year which begins July 1. " i
However, it calls for a major
reshuffling of programs, cancell
ing or reducing some and
strengthening others. One program
which was curtailed sharply by
the Mahon subcommittee and by
i, the"fuir ApTrfipl'iiitions' Committee
was the Bomarc. ,
The committee knocked out
$162,700,000 of the $362,700,000 rc
ouested for Bomarc production.
leaving intact $64,600,000 for test j
and evaluation of the missile. It
did not touch 95 million dollars for
the Army's Nike-Hercules.
Minshall told a reporter that the
Air Force has had Bomarc on its
drawing boards and in the plan
ning stage for nine years "and
they still haven't come up with
anything." He said Congress
should provide money only for
test and evaluation of the missile.

Dear Ann: ' I'm a heartbroken

but maybe you can explain why
such things happen.
I have three daughters and the
youngest is 18. Last night she told
me she's going. to marry a boy

means I'll have a third bum for

I raised my girls to know right

Why did they all fall for hood

She comes home until the bruises

This last daughter plans to
marry a boy with a police record
and no job. Why do some girls
deliberately choose no good men?

honey may be just the trap to
catch the capital's elusive black
bear. '
Dr. T. H. Reed, the zoo direc
tor, was called in by police after
numerous . attempts to nab the
200-to-300 pound bruin failed. The
animal first was spotted about a
week ago.
One of Reed s proposals was
that a bucket of honey be put out
somewhere near where the bear
has been spotted.
"The bucket of honey snould be
laced with a quart of good Irish
whiskey. That would attract the
bear, get him drunk and put him
to sleep if he got enough of the
stuff in him,'' Reed said.
"All we'd have to do then is
pick him up, put him in a cage
and let him sleep it off. That s
the way they do it in the national
parks." .

'The Hanging Tree' Movie
Comes To Granada Theatre
STARS IN FILM
'The Hanging Tree," a Baroda
production for Warner Bros, com
ing Wednesday to the Granada
Theatre, is a picture of "firsts."
The Technicolor film stars Gary
Cooper, Maria Schcll and Karl
Maiden.
It is the first time, for example,
that Cooper has portrayed a doc
tor in a Western film, though he
happens to be just as fast with
a six-shooter as he is with a
scalpel.
It is the first time Miss Schell
has appeared in a Western-type
role, but her presence is valid
since she plays a European girl
who comes to America in search
of freedom and fortune.
The film is also a first for two
bright young Hollywood men, Mar
tin Jurow and Richard Shepherd,
who make their debuts as pro
ducers. It is also a first for two bril
liant young New York actors, Ben
Piazza and George C. Scott, both
of whom make their motion pic
ture debuts in "The Hanging
Tree."
It is the first work by author
Dorothy M. Johnson to be filmed.
Her novelette has been acclaimed
