As We Live WIFE'S HOSTILITY HOLDS MAN BACK A man may progress in the business world on his own mer its, but the backing of his wife helps. Q "I was interested in your "letter from a working wife who complained that her hus band objected to her staying late at the office and would never go with her to any of the office parties. Well, I have the same problem in my home and I know how embarrassing it is. When we have parties at Christmas, or to celebrate the boss's birthday, or on any occasion, such as marriage of one of the members of the staff, most of the wives ap pear, but not mine. "She was brought up very strictly and disapproves of drinking. I only drink when I am with friends or at parties but my wife treats me as if I were a drunkard if I to much Runaway Scrap Market Harries Steel Industry New York (U.R) Iron Age said today the already-harried steel industry is faced with an other knotty problem "a run away scrap market." Scrap prices have rocketed to near-record levels, the metal working weekly said, giving the Industry and Washington "a bad case of jitters." On top of this the industry is Juggling two other hot potatoes: disgruntled customers and the necessity to take facilities out of production for much-needed re pairs. "A crisis in scrap" as the trade journal described it had top buyers and sellers of scrap O and administration officials huddling in Washington this week to wrestle with the prob lem. "It will be a tough nut to crack" the magazine predicted. Iron Age said discussions will center around controls of some kind to further restrict scrap ex ports a move designed to ease the domestic supply problem. "And it will cause a big rhu barb between - buyers and sell ers," the magazine said. "It will also involves pur allies and their need for scrap. Why Not Other Controls "Everybody involved will have to tread softly. Because if scrap is controlled, why not control other metallics, including fin ished steel. Meanwhile, Iron Age said, there are more dissatisfied steel consumers now than there were during the tight market of 1953. "Everyone has the feeling he's being shortchanged. Some cus tomers are facing the prospect of slowing their production lines if they don't get relief in a hurry. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. as take a sip. She won't go to any of the office parties be cause of the drinking. It is embarrassing xo me, especially when my boss asks where the missus is. I have used up every excuse I could think of, such as her not feeling well, she couldn't get anyone to stay with the kids, etc., but I am sure he'sees through them. "Last month one of the men who had a job like mine was promoted to a much better position and I know he is no better than I am. But his wife turns up at all the parties, is pleasant and agreeable to ev eryone, end makes, a point of being nice to the boss. I told my wife about this and she said if a man couldn't get ahead on his own merits, he wasn't good enough to have a better job. Is she right?" A Your wife is partly right, but mostly wrong. It is true that a man would not be promoted unless he had Tg4.f ! tne ability, but it is also true that among two or three men whose ab ilities were nearly equal, the one who had the closest personal con tact with the boss would likely get the Mining Location Notices on File One quartz location and one placer claim notice were filed in the county courthouse yester day, according to county clerk's records. Jess A. Holtzdaw and S. A. Ed wards, Route 2, box 332, Cen tral Point, filed a quartz loca tion notice involving cinnabar in the Meadows Mining district Everett W.

O. Wilson. Dr. Herlock Job. And one way to have a close personal contact with the boss is to have a family friendship. You are right in feeling that your wife is being unfair to you by staying away from the office parties. And she is very narrow- minded m her attitude toward the slight amount of drinking done at most office parties. She would not have to drink if she went to the parties, but she should give others the right to decide what they want to do. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)

NICHOLS UmlHd PrM Faarnn Writer Washington (U.R) Temp ers frequently sizzle when Con gress gets adjournment fever and makes haste to flee " Washing ton's heat and humidity. Words f 1 y and sometimes fists. Rep. Sid ney R. Yates, the Democrat from Illinois who was anx ious to get home himself, told his consti tuents in his about some- pre- i fa f$jj ta jaYUlk jS&tJMeaMI Herman Nichol latest newsletter thing that happened in vious session. It seems, according to Yates, that a congressman from Indiana butted in while one of his Ohio colleagues was waxing loud about something or other on the floor of the House. The honorable Hoosler wound up his tirade by calling the hon orable Ohioan a "jackass." The Ohioan played hurt and the speaker told the Hoosier to guard his tongue. The gentleman from Indiana said he was sorry. "I withdraw the word I used, Mr. Speaker," he said. "Never theless, it is clear that the gentle man from Ohio is out of order." "Out of order in what way am I put of order?" was the angry retort from the Buckeye congressman. "Why don't you ask a veterin arian?" snapped the man from Indiana. Yates says that he knows of no such bitter exchange on the floor this session. The only similar incident was a tiff between Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey, the Demo crat of West Virginia, and Rep. Adam Clyton Powell Jr., Dem ocrat of New York. This occur red a few weeks ago during a session in the Education and La bor committee. "Bailey," Yates recalled, "is aged 69. He struck Powell, aged 46, when the latter accused him of telling an untruth." Yates, by the way, would like to be sure that everyone knows he is not the Yates in the Dixon Yates power controversy. Yates says that he has his troubles, and suspects that his colleague, Rep. Henry Aldous Dixon, the Utah Republican, oft en is mistaken for the other Dix on. Anyhow, Sidney Yates of Illi nois says that his secretary pick ed up the phone and said quite properly: i "This is Congressman Yates' office." The voice at the other end of LADIES ONLY MATINEE!
