Dtt Ann Lndtrs:
Divorced Mother No
Expert on Marriage
Bjr ANN LANDERS
Deer Ann Linden: - I'm n attractive girt, II, who has dated
many fellows but I've never met one I'd like to fettle down with.
I figure there's plenty of time for that.
My mother ha different ideai. She'i been divorced twice and
considers herself an authority on men. She says I won't always be
youthful and pretty and the time to grab a catch it when I'm at
the peak of freshness and beauty.
She has the man all picked out for me. In some ways 1 know
ahe'a right and 'it's very confusing. Her choice is a widower, 44,
with three children. He's kind and would be a wonderful husband.
He owns apartment buildings and stores and lives in a beautiful
home on a hill. He told Mom he'd -marry me tomorrow.
What shall I do? I'm not in love with anyone and maybe I
never will be. Mom says she married for love twice and it's the
bunk. I know she wants the best for me. Is this it? BONNIE LASS
I hate le tell a girt her mether wants her U marry a maa for his
maaey, bat abe probably eeesa't know of any other way yea eaa
get H. '
Your mother IWgbl te get the dollar signs off her eyeballs long
eaoagh to eoani Us years iastead of his bankroll. She'll find that
ber choice" la old eaeuga le be your father.
In fact, this Isn't a Ui Idea. Ill bet this widower is a lot nearer
her age thaa yaars. Since he's sack a "catch" aad she's aa "ex
pert" teU her to "catch" klm for herself.
Dear Ann: We have three children 11, 10 and 6. My husband's
mother made her home with us for many years and we all loved
her dearly..
Now she's in the hospital dying of an incurable disease and the
doctors say she can't live more than another four or five weeks.
Grandma keeps asking to see the children but my husband re
fuses to let me bring them to her bedside. He says they'll be
frightened If they see how much weight she's lost. He says it
would be cruel to subject the kids to the sight of her suffering and
he'd like them to remember Grandma as she was.
He also says the children will not be permitted to attend the
funeral. We've having some serious differences of opinion and I
need some advice to fall back on. Please, Ann, give us your views,
on this very important subject. Several of our friends are as con
fused as we are. M. J. B.
Children should not be shielded forever from the knowledge thai
alckaess grief and even death are a part of life. A brief visit
to see their grandmother will serve to acquaint them with a very
real side of living which must be met sooaer or later.
Year reaction to the situation will be highly coataglras, far
children leara by example. If yea are calm, sensible aad slroag
they will net be hysterical aad shakea.
The 11 aad la-year-olds should be permitted to attend the funeral
but a t-year-eld akoald be left with friends. He would not aider
stand, aad might caase a disturbance.

Curiosity Satisfied
NEW. YORK, March - The
Pennsylvania Rail Road has un
dertaken a campaign to satisfy
the natural curiosity of boys and
girls about railroading and at the
same time keep them at a safe
distance. The program calls for
presentation of a film and talks by
railroad police officers before
schools and related groups.
By EUGENE LEVIN
NEW DELHI. March 20 (-In-
dia changes over to decimal cur
rency on April 1, abandoning an
system established by the British
more than a century ago.
It is a switch affecting every
aspect' of Indian life. Postae
rates must be revised. Railway
farea must be adjusted. Calculat
ing machines must be refitted.
The man in the bazaar must start
thinking In new terms when he
thinks of the rupee.
The ruoee traditionally has been
the Indian coin. The British put
It In the regular basis of 1833, dl
viding H into It annas of 12 pies
esch.
On April 1 the day the Indian
fiscal year begins the rupee will
be divided Into 100 unieah. The
rupee will keep Its same value.
but the annas and pies will be
dropped. Instead, each unit will be
a naya paisa. Plural is naye paise.
ON DECIMAL BASIS
For three year, annas and
pies will remsin legal tender but
their value will be calculated on
the decimal basis. Thus, four an
nas will equal 25 naye paise. The
government has issued a ready
reckoner for figuring out the val
ue when the naya paise equivalent
of the anna involves a fraction.
India's Parliament adopted the
decimal coinage as the first step
in this country's move toward re
placing the many Indian weights
and measures with the . metric
system.
However, Parliament did not
act without misgivings. Many an
MP noted that India has a large
illiteracy rate and that many peo
ple might not understand the
change from annas to nay paise.
These MPs said there was a
chance dishonest people would
cheat the. public.
The Indian government, in an
effort to avoid any trouble, start
ed a campaign of education in the
villages and the cities months ago.
To meet the needs of the ex
change, the government It work
ing out all kinds of new tables:
for customs rates, taxes and budg
ets. It also is preparing to issue
on April 1 new sets pf postage
stamp ln the decimal denominations.

London's Old Bailey where the
case is drawing a pscked house.
"The doctor even sent out. for
chamDaene."
The celebration took place In
the prisoner's cell beneath the
courtroom. Several members of
his defense team were present.
The 58-year-old -aoclety physi
cian is sccused by drugging a
rich widow to death more than
six years ago. Scotland Yard got
on the case only last summer and
arrested the doctor for murder In
December. '
His alleged victim was It-year-

cross - examinations.
DISCUSSED EVIDENCE
Lawrence wrung an almost tear
ful confession from a prosecution
witness that she had violated the
instructions of Justice Patrick
Devlin not to discuss the case.
The witness waa one Of four
trained, nuries who attended Mrs.
Morrell. '

Ellis of talking over the evidence I
with two other nurses who are
witnesses, Lawrence demanded to
know if this was true.
"Yea." the nurse admitted.
The defense attorney forced the
nurse to resd every notation she
made In a record book of medi
cine given to Mrs. Morrell.
He referred to notations of mor
phine and heroin as "routine se
dation." NOT "ROUTINE SEDATION"
This was too much for the dig
nified attorney general, who in
terrupted to ask the nurse if she
ever had heard of morphine and
heroin being "routine sedation."
"No, air," ihe replied.
The last witness was nurse Car
oline 8. Randall.
Earlier, nurse Mason Ellis ad
mitted that nurse Randall had
told her that if she didn't testify
that Mrs. Morrell' drugs were
kept m a locked cupboard, "You'll
get me in trouble."
under cross examination, the
nurse admitted the drugs were
never locked in a cupboard. j
Questioned by the attorney gen
eral she testified that during the
last few days of her life, Mrs.
Morrell was being given large
doses of morphine, heroin and
opium.
SPASMODIC JERKS
"The patient began to twitch and
jerk," she said, "these spasms be
came so bad she nearly jerked
herself out of bed."
The nurse said that on the last
night Mrs. Morrell waa alive, Dr
Adams gave her a syringe and
told her to inject the drug in the
patient.
"This was on top of morphia
and heroin injections?" asked the
attorney general,
"Yes." .
"He left me another syringe
full," the nurse testified, "and told
me to give It to Mrs. Morrell if

last fall on the tropical Malabar
coast of southern India. Kerala's
13'i million people are crammed
BOO to the square mile, and un
employment is a perennial prob

on their good behavior and prom
ised to govern Kerala according
to the Indian constitution.
Returns from India's 19-day sec

today, gave the Communist party
59 seats in the lM-member legis

42 seats, Socialist I, the Moslem
League I and a non-Communist

were unreported.
The Congress party ran ahead
in the popular vote 1.900,000 to
the Communists' 1,719,000 be
