"The men fJrged us to jump, and said they would catch u., but Vernon said he was too heavy, and would go to a porch window to get out. I jumped, and they caught me."

Kisenhower can be expected to forecast further advances in na tional production and income to new peaks in 19o7, administration advisers said privately, but at a possibly slower rate of gain than in the last year. They indicated the President will re-empnasize his plea to in dustry and labor unions for "rea sonable" pricing policies and wage demands, so as to thwart what he described in his State of the I'nion message as "the thief inflation. This week's message will show that consumer prices have climbed almost 3 per cent since last year's economic report, while wholesale prices have advanced more than i per cent. In the same period consumers have boosted their total install ment debt to successive monthly records. But the rate of increase has slowed and one administration official said that the question of power to regulate down payments and the length of installment con tracts "is not an active subject now.

Nixon Says Congress to Support Ike WASHINGTON. Jan. 20 liFVice President Nixon today predicted Congress will pass President Ei senhower's Middle East resolution "substantially in the form that it has been proposed." "I don't mean no change! at all be made." Nixon said, adding that neither he nor President Eisen hower is necessarily "wedded" to the exact wording of the resolu tion. But he said both the standby military authority and economic help proposed m the resolution are needed "to create a really sound peace' and for this reason he said he does not believe Congress will put too many restrictions on the disputed economic aid provi sion. Nixon spoke in a radio-television interview with Rep. Keating iR NY). The program was filmed be fore Fridaj's Moscow-P e i p i n g declaration of "a n y necessary support" to Middle East peoples against "aggression and interfer ence" in their affairs. Dear Ann Landers: Husband Worries, Wife Gone at Night Dear Ann: I've been married four years to a girl who is 22. I'm 38. When we were first wed I didn't think the difference in ge mattered. Now I'm nx so sure. She doesn't work and we have no children. I don't know what she does all day. It's a cinch she doen't clean the house. My shirts go to the laundry and she hates to cook. Every night she sends out for pizza or spaghetti. But I didn't marry her to cook and clean, Ann. .This isn't the problem. She's started to run with a bunch of divorced girls. They call themselves a sewing club but I've never seen any of them hold a needle. Last night my wife came in at 6 a.m. and she'd been drinking. She told me the girls had been celebrating an old Norwegian custom called the "Hook Rug Festival". Have you ever heard of hooking rugs until t oo a.m.? Please tell me what you think.

Dear Ann: I'm a 19-venr-uld sophomore in college and have been dating a 17-year-olri high school girl. She's wonderful in every way but there's one thing that irritates me terribly and may break us up. I was raised in a home where smoking and drinking by tern ajers is frowned upon. My girl friend s background uf entirely . different. She smokes a great deal and her mother has olfered her cigarettes in my presence. Whenever I see a cigarette in her mouth !t destroys a litlkf of what I (eel for her. She says I must accept her as she is or not at all. Am I narrow-minded and old-fashioned or do I just plain have a screw loose on this subject? Please tell me. HANK There may be more involved here than )usl the lowly weed.

In this connection there has been mention of the names of Sens. Clifford Case of New Jersey, Bush of Connecticut and Salton stall of Massachusetts. Saltonstall, who has been named by Sen. Thye of Minnesota as his personal choice for the leadership job, is chairman of the Conference of All Republican Senators. He may want to retain that post. Bush is a frequent presidential golfing partner. Case had Eisenhower's fervent support in his 1954 race for the Senate. He has been a consistent backer of the President's program. Dirksen was named party "whip", or assistant leader, earli er this month in a move initiated by Knowland to give Midwestern era representation in the leader ship lineup. In this role, Dirksen sits in on White House conferences with the President, whose nomina tion he opposed strenuously in 1952. At that time, Dirksen was sup porting the late Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Since Eisenhower's first elec tion, Dirksen has supported the President's proposals generally, but has differed with him on some major issues. Asked about Dirksen last fall during the election campaign, Ei senhower laid at a newt confer ence that the Illinois senator had once been "known as an isolation ist" but had become "a very val uable lieutenant" for him. Knowland had made it clear that s leader he thinks his primary responsibility Is to Senate Repub licans, rather than always to car ry the ball for what the President wants. While Elsenhower has been warm in hit praise of Knowland, the Californian's opposition to tome proposals hasn't pleased some of the President's associates. There are strong signs that if Dirksen attained the leadership, he would follow the Knowland formula. Linda Darnell To Wed Flier HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 20 IB-Ac tress Linda Darnell and airline pilot M. R.

Robertson, M, confirmed the announcement Saturday after com pleting hit American Airlines Chi-cago-to-Loi Angeles freight flight. Miss Darnell said the wedding probably will be in February, when her schedule will give her time for a honeymoon. She said she wants a church wedding. Her previous husbands were cameraman J. Peverell Marley and Philip Liebman, a New York, brewer. Women on Okinawa 'Liberated' By ROBERT PR0S8ER NAHA, Okinawa, Jan. 20 11 Women s rights have won out over feudalism and Okinawan women celebrated emancipation day to day with victory parade through the streets of Nana. Carrying small paper flags bearing the Japanese character for "celebration," 1.000 women marched along International Street to observe the establish ment ot a new civil legal code. Under the new code, which came into effect with the new year, ' any Okinawan adult can marry or divorce without the per mission of the head of his family. The new law also gives the wife the same easy access to divorce that the man in the family always has had. Under the prewar code, men under 30 and women under 2S had to obtain permission from the head of their families before they could marry. The old law also forbade any couple under 25 to Lawmaker Advocates Whitman Home Shrine SOUTHER HUNTINGTON, N.Y. Jan. 20 W A New York State senator says he will Introduce a bill in theJLegislature to make the birth place of poet Walt Whitman a historical site to be maintained by the state. Sen. Elisha T. Bar ret said he has been assured the bill will have bipartisan support. The Whitman home, built about 1810, has been maintained by pri vate funds and a yearly grant of $2,000 from this Long Island town. I obtain a divorce unless the action was approved by families. Under the feudalists family system, parents ruled their chil dren and husbands ruled their wives. The head of the family, usually the oldest male, decided where the family would live, what its members would do, when and whom the young members would marry and when to have children. The husband, under the old law, could divorce his wife if she stepped out with another man. The wife had no such rights in return. Now either party can ob tain a divorce if he or the haa been abandoned for more than three years, when one party to the marriage suffers from an In curable mental disorder, or for a variety of reasons lumped under "incompatibility."
