'Prowler' Only Process Server Hollywood (U.R) Police sent a patrol car to actress Linda Christian's home last night but it turned out the unwelcome visitor Miss Christian was com plaining about was a process server. The' actress, former wife of actor Tyrone Power, telephoned West Los Angeles police saying a "woman in slacks" was "an noying" a servant at the front gate of the house. She said she wanted the woman "taken away," police said. Tht process server, identified as a Mrs. Stanley, left quietly when police arrived.

Purdom has been a frequent escort of Miss Christian and was one of three guests at the home last night. Miss Christian said "I have nothing to hide and if they will contact me at a decent hour instead of harassing me at night I will be happy to give a deposition." As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. of that experience. Don't Change Easily When a person gets an im-! As for you, have you really Shrewish." Widow Can Write This Romance Off pression of another person, it is often difficult to change it. (a) I am a young widow in my thirties and have been dating a man ten years old er than I. This man it divorc ed from his wife. We had talked a b o u J getting mar- Dr. Herlock ried next year although he hasn't given me a ring yet. We broke up about two-and-a-half months ago because he said I was always hurting his feelings by speaking to him as I did. "But, he says he loves me still and always will. He says he is afraid to marry me be cause he is afraid of getting hurt again. How can I prove to him that I have changed and will do everything I can to make him happy? Now he is dating a 22-year-old girl. Do you think I still have a chance or must I try to forget him?" J.T.W. (A) It looks very much to me as if you have "cooked your goose" with this man. He has the definite impression that you are a "shrew" who will -make life unhappy for him by con stantly hurting his feelings. His divorce from his first wife has unquestionably made him very cautious about a future marriage. Whether his first wife hurt his feelings or not, the fact remains they were unhappy to gether or they would never have separated. Now he does not want to take a chance on a repetition Volunteers Sought For Atomic Cruiser Washington '(U.R) The Navy toaay sought volunteers from among its enlisted men to serve as engineering crewmen on its proposed atomic cruiser, the first nuclear powered surface ship. The men, who if chosen will undergo a two-year training pro gram, must be less than 30 years old, have a high school educa tion and a "clear record." The Navy announced yester day it has sent out a call to all fleet commanders to accept appli cations. It said training will start next July at the naval nuclear power unit at Idaho Falls, Idaho. After a one-year course there, the crew will be given duty "for one year or more" at the land-based prototype nuclear reactor, which will correspond to the actual machinery of the atomic cruiser. changed or do you merely think you have in the hopes of win ning back this man who now seems to have turned his affec tions elsewhere? People in their thirties do not change as easily as you seem to think you have. Are you sure you would not go back to your old pattern of be havior, should you persuade this man to marry you? The fact that he has been go ing with another woman since your break-up would suggest that he is certain you will not change and it would be folly on his part to risk his future happiness by marrying someone who said things to hurt his feelings during their courtship days. If I were in your place, I would write this rofnanCe off as finished business but would profit by the experience and try to mend my ways to avoid a repetition of it in the future.
