By DOROTHY DIX DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I'm a 32-year-old divorcee with a four-year-old daughter. I have a home of my own and some money. For the past six months 1 have been going with a divorced man whom I love dearly. He has a lot of bills, and has asked me for money. On several occasions 1 have obliged. He says he loves me but makes no attempt to take me out. He always has some excuse for this, and also for not taking me to meet his family. We have set a wedding date, but 1 m wondering what he s interested in me or my money. Do you think he might change his mind about marriage? R.K. DEAR R.R.: The hand that signs the checks is not likely to wear a wedding band. Why should it? If the gent can have his bills paid without as much as risking a date, why should he jepardizc his freedom and incur lifetime obligations for the same effect? Your bank account is his for the asking, and what else might you have to offer as a special inducement? Mark "No more funds" across your check book, and you'll soon find out whether you or money is the attraction. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Shortly after I left a drunken husband, 12 years ago, I went to work for an undertaker. We soon felt in love. He continually talked of divorcing his wife to marry me, but of course, he never did. Now he says I can't keep my job any longer as his wife objects. He refuses to help me at all. What can I do with him? Althea DEAR ALTHEA: Here's hoping he keeps better faith with the dead than with the living. It a man can't be faithful and true to his wife, whom has promised to honor, what can you expect? Salvaging your self-respect is worth something, and it's all you'll have. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: For a long time I have been friendly with a girl ten years older than myself. She is a good neighbor in many ways, kind, and has many fine points. However, she is also very domineering and simply cannot stand people differing with her. If I voice an opinion that she doesn't share, I hear, "Oh, you're crazy!" or, "There's no sense arguing with you: you're too dumb!" Much as I like her good points, I can't take any more of her insults. I'm not the type to fight back, cither. I'm not timid, just peace-loving. Josephine DEAR JOSEPHINE: A chip on the shoulder is a sign of wood higher up! And a person who refuses to acknowledge another's right to have an opinion is as thick as a whole forest. The best intellects in the world have always been argumentative, questioning, eager for debate. You'd never And a Socrates, Lincoln or Einstein turning a deaf ear to new ideas. Great men always listeen to what other people think, even if they don't agree with them. Try these arguments on your friend, if she'll listen! DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Before I shipped out for service overseas, my.girl friend promised to be faithful. When I returned, I found her pregnant. She blames a moment of passion, and says she loves only me. She wants me to marry her immediately. I love her, and can for give her, but doubt if I could accept another man's child as my own. Ferris DEAR FERRIS: Don't do it. You've been selected to be the prize fall guy. Let the other fellow take on his own responsibilities. Send your problem to Dorothy Dix. Or write for her free leaflet D-18, "The Way to A Boy's Heart". In all cases, be sure to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope, and send request to her care of this newspaper. Almost every factory manager in the Northeast prefaces his ex planations with the approved phrase: "Thanks to the selfless generosity of the Soviet Union. . ." But as a slight illustration of the Chinese determination to fol low their own path, the qualifying words are added: "And under the correct leadership of Chairman Mao and the Communist party. . " The hotels, or "guest houses," in all the industrial centers arc packed with Russian engineers and technologists. They are su pervising factory construction or installation of machinery, or in structing Chinese workers. I In many plants the Soviet in struction has been completed and the Russians have moved out. Many of China's top technicians have been trained in schools in Russia. Peiping maintains an advisory board of Russian technology ex perts as trouble-shooters and in spectors for the Northeastern fac tories. In south central China, where the first bridge across the Yang tze River is being built at Wuhan, 20 top Soviet engineers are super vising the project, which was de signed in Russia. A third of the steel for the 25-million-dollar bridge is being imported from Russia. The Russians, In their sloppy bellbottom pants, deadpan expres sions and carrying bulging brief cases, can be seen on the streets of any city here, either walking with their families or speeding past in black limousines with the window curtains drawn. This advisery invasion has brought embarrassing and uncom fortable results for other foreign visitors to China. In railway stations, schools or even on the street, the foreigner is often jolted by groups of passers-by who form a ring and burst into applause. No matter what the visitor s nationality, he is inevi tably taken to be a Russian, and the hand claps follow him where ever he goes. But Ivan himself moves almost furtively. In factory towns and major cities, the permanent Rus sian resident lives in his own quarters, separate from the Chf nese There is no Sino-Soviet so cial life at all except at an offi cial level. The Russian sees only the eager Chinese who gather around his machine to learn technique, and he is constantly accompanied by one or more interpreters. Aside from them he has few or no Chinese acquaintances. He has strict traveling papers. When his job Is done and the technique passed on he leaves. In Peiping, the semipermanent Soviet residents are assigned to separate hotels from other for eigners or the casucl Russian visitors. School textbooks are Russian slanted, and students from 7 years old on get a thorough grounding in Russian revolutionary history. Tomorrow A visit to a primary school.
