Some Situations Warrant
In-Law Interference
Most mothers do not want to
Interfere with the lives of their
married children. However,
there are timescwhen these chil
dren need help and do not re
gard this as interference.
(Q) "I hav a daughter, 28
years old, who has a child two
years old, an
other of seven
and a half
months, and a
third on the
way. She mar
r i e d against
my wishes be
cause the man
is a heavy
drinker and so
is his mother.
Dr. Hurlock
His father died nearly a year
ago and, since then, my son-in-law
goes io his mother's home
and drinks with her. He is a
college graduate and earns
good money,
"Last week, my daughter
called me and wanted $100 of
the money my father left in
trust for her to pay bills. I re
fused to give it to her. Now my
son tells me ihatmy daugh
ter's husband has left her and
she and the children have
nothing to eat. I don't want
to butt in on their business
but I still don't want to see my
daughter and her o children
starve. Whai can I do?" Mrs.
H.A.
(A) Ask your daughter to
tome visit you, bringing her
children with her. Give her a
chance to get a good rest and
plenty of nourishing food, lnis is
Important if her unborn child
Is to be healthy.
After she has had an oppor
tunity to" get rested- and relax
from the strain she has been
under since her marriage, dis
cuss with her her plans for the
future. She cannot go on this
way. It is not fair to herself or
to her children to be penniless
and have no food.
I suggest that you discuss this
matter with your minister right
away so he can talk to the hus
band and see what he plans to
do about his famiy. The minister
can take the matter to the do
mestic relations court if he fails
to make any headway with your
lon-in-law.
Must Receive Support
As your son-in-law is making
adequate money to support his
family, the court will require
him to give the family a stated
sum every week. If things do
not improve, your daughter
may, in time, want to sue for a
legal separation or a, divorce.
Under any circumstances, she
and the children must receive
adequate support from the hus
band.
This is not a case of "butting
Into" your daughter's affairs. It
Is a case of sheer emergency
when she needs help and needs
it badly. Her family is the source
of this help and should not fail
, her at this time.

This and That
W. NICHOLS
tut an Wii
ing and scraping is Tucker's
take home. And, if the tax peo
ple aren't listening, it adtis up
to more than considerable.
This Tucker fellow operates
every day at the. Colony, a fancy
little hotel on Desales st., where
the high and mighty meet to eat j
and sip. Famed hostesses around
town, and congressmen, ambas
sadors, senators, and the like
are among the customers and a
lot of them are regulars. And if
you think he doesn't write 'em
down as to what to expect for
one table or another, you better
have another thought.
Tucker has thought up a sys
tem he likes to call his one, two,
three and five treatment.
Fellow comes in with a dame,
see. Or maybe with his wife.
First time-out Tucker writes it
down. And the next time in, he
knows how to handle 'em on the
way out, according to fVie way
they-palmed him the first time.
The Full Treatment
So, a cheap one who tips only
skin will get nothing more than
a polite nod. And maybe even
Tucker won't straighten his tie.
A two-buck tipper would do
a little better. He'd get a "thank
you," with no "sir" attached.
The three-dollar tipper would
get the "thank you" treatment
with a "sir" tacked on. The $5
gent would get the business, like:
"Nice to see you, sir; hope you
liked your meal. Hope you come
back again. We'll be seeing you
soon, I suppose."
The head waiter .doesn't have
to have his palm greased at all,
in most places. But, according to
Tucker, the big shots who eat at
the Colony not only tip him but
give the waiter about 15 to 20
per cent of the check as well.
But ..the poor guy who puts
fancy things under the glass in
the kitchen works along on un
ion scale. The hat check girl
wins her quarter with a smile.
But consider the bus boy, who
carries the heavy end of the
hod. He gets no tips. Neither
does the chef but he has a fancy
hat and makes a lot more money.
FPC Slicks To Order
On Hells Canyon
Washington (U.R) The
Federal Power commission yes
terday refused to set aside its
approval of plans by Idaho Pow
er company to develop Hells
canyon.
'Last August 4, the FPC issued
a license to ldano Power tor
construction of the Brownlee and
Oxbow dams. Revised exhibits
were approved Nov. 3.
A petition to set aside the
Nov. 3 order was filed Dec. 5
by the National Hells Canyon
association, eight public utility
districts in the state of Wash
ington, and the National Rural
Electric Cooperative association.
The FPC said "it is appropri
ate in carrying out the provisions
of the federal power act to deny
the . . . petition."

McKay Has No
Plans To Resign
In Current Term
Washington (U.R) Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay said
today he has no intention of re
signing during President Eisen
hower's current term.
Speculation that he might re
sign started when McKay said
in Honolulu Dec. 20 that he
would like to retire and take
it easy in places like his home
state of Oregon and Hawaii.
"I was appointed by Presi
dent Eisenhower to serve at his
pleasure," McKay said in an in
terview, "and I certainly will
continue to do that through his
term."
But McKay would not be
pinned down on whether he
would continue in his post if
Mr. Eisenhower were to be re
elected and asked him to serve
again. He made it clear without
stating his position in so many
words that that would be a ques
tion to be answered by the
White House.
No Immediate Decision
"We'll cross that bridge when
we come to it," he said.
The former Oregon governor
also said he is not perturbed
by reports that Democratic lead
ers will demand his resignation
because of timber, wildlife, wa
ter resources and other policies
the interior department has fol
lowed under his administration.
He has been accused of follow
ing a "giveaway" policy with
public resources.
"When I was governor some
body was always mad at me,"
McKay said. " I just go down
the line and do what I think is
best and forget it."
Reaching for his brief case,
he pulled out a typewritten quo
tation by Lincoln and handed
it to a reporter. The opening
line read: "If I were to try to
read, much less answer, all the
attacks made on me, this shop
might as well be closed for any
other business.'
Did Not Seek Post
McKay said he did not seek
his appointment as interior sec
retary in the first place. "But
when I asked my wife what
shall I do? she replied, 'No one
can refuse President Eisen
hower. "
McKay said the job has been
a "fascinating" one although
"there are many things contro
versial and conflicting in it."
But McKay, despite his re
marks, left the impression that
he would like to retire.
"After all, I'll soon be 63,"
said the secretary.

U.S. Economy Enters New
Year Under Full Steam
Washington (U.R) The U.S.
economy goes into 1956 under a
full head of steam, but with the
government's foot on the brake
pedal of credit.
Experts are watching to see
what happens after the first of
the year when post-Christmas
retail sales will be lower, con
struction is slowed by winter,
and farms are idle until spring
planting.
At the start of 1955 the Fed
eral Reserve Board was follow
ing a credit policy of "ease."
The economy was then pushing
upward after the slump which
ran from late 1953 until mid
1954. It was then considered
prudent to make funds for bor
rowing available at easier terms
for building and expanding.
Money Firm In April
However, in April and May,
the Federal Reserve altered its
policy and allowed the rate at
which Federal Reserve banks
lend funds to go up. It has been
boosted three times since.
Twice during the past year
the Reserve Board boosted the
amount stock buyers must pay
down when purchasing stocks
and bonds. These increases were
to reduce speculation.
The Veterans Administration
and the Federal Housing Admin
istration acted twice during the
year to stiffen credit terms on
home loans those agencies back.
First, it was ordered that veter
ans must pay their closing costs
when buying homes under the
GI Bill. This eliminated the so
called "no ' downpayment" sales.
Then, both VA and FHA short
ened the length of time a gov
Medford's leading
1
ernment-backed mortgage could
run-from 30 to 25 years and in
creased minimum downpayments
for VA it is now two per cent,
and for FHA it is seven per cent.
Behind the administration's
moves to check credit was the
fear that if credit expanded too
fast there would be more pur
chasing power than goods avail
able. The result would be in
flation. Price Stability Achieved
One of the achievements to
which the adminstration points
with pride is "price stability."
Using 1947-1949 as the base per
iod, consumer prices this year
have gone up from 114.4 in 1953
to 114.9 by September. .
This slight rise has meant that
with personal income shooting
upward from an annual rate of
8292,200,000,000 in January to
$309,600,000,000 in October,
Americans were able to buy
more goods than ever before and
thereby register the greatest
gain in their standards of living.
This buying has been helped
by a $5,011,000,000 extension of
installment credit to. buy auto
mobiles, particularly, .- but . also
washing machines, refrigerators
and i for borrowing money for
personal expenditures, and re
pairs, and modernization o f
homes. It's been the biggest-ever
year-to-year expansion of credit
on the books.
Corporate profits, too, have
reached new heights. They've
been so good as to prompt fore
casts of even higher spending
for next year. ,

Board, as is customary, refuses

Hypnotist Writes Weird Account of
Taking Woman Back 100 Years in Time
New York (U.R) A Pueblo,
Colo., businessman published to
day a weird account of how he
took a young matron "through
the barrier of time itself" by
hypnosis and learned the details
of another life she had lived in
Ireland more than 100 years
ago.
"The Search for Bridey Mur
phy," published by Doubleday &
Co., details an experiment con
ducted by the author, Morey
Bernstein, an amateur hypno
tist, with a woman identified as
Mrs. Ruth Simmons, a 32-year-old
Pueblo housewife.
In a deep hypnotic trance,
Bernstein has Mrs. Simmons re
counting in fascinating and
sometimes humorous detail her
life as Bridey Murphy from her
birth in Cork in 1798 until her
death in Belfast in 1864.
It is a provocative book, since
it deals not only with hypnosis
and reincarnation but on a va
riety of subjects related to the
mysteries of the mind, such as
extrasensory perception, telepa
thy and clairvoyance.
Bernstein devotes a good por
tion of his text to a defense of
these subjects. The remainder
dwells on his six tape-recorded
interviews with Mrs. Simmons,
beginning !Nov. 29, 1952, about
her "other life."
Mrs. Simmons, a wife of an
insurance salesman, is described
by Bernstein' as "vivacious
brownette on the smallish side"
who was raised from infancy by
a Norwegian and a ' German-Scotch-Irish
aunt. She was born
in Colorado and never has been
out of the United States, he said.
In his interviews, . Bernstein
said, he approached the "time
barrier" by the age regression
process, taking his hypnotized
subject back to the age of 7, 5,
3, 1 and finally to her "other
life." ' .
At one point, in his first inter
view, he took her back farther
than that. In response to his
questions, Mrs. Simmons re
called that before she was
Bridey Murphy she was a baby
who died at birth in New Am
sterdam in the 17th century.
Bernstein said that at the re
quest of her husband, the New
Amsterdam questions were dis
continued because Mrs. Sim
mons was "noticeably seized
with pain" when he asked them,
Irish Brogue
At points in the six inter
views, Mrs. Simmons assumed a
definite Irish brogue. She talked
of "banshees," named songs and
dances of the period, recited
Irish folklore and told how she
purchased a camisole in a ladies
wear store for "one pound, six
pence." She said she was the second
of three children born to .Dun-
to comment on its future plans,
it was considered unlikely that
it will undertake any change in
its present policy of mild "re
straint" toward credit until it
sees some evidence of a slacken
ing off in the performance of the
economy.

In 1818, at the age of 20, she
said? she was married to Brian
McCarthy, a " "barristerl' and
later a teacher at Queen's Uni
versity in Belfast where they
went to live.
Bernstein claims that a con
siderable number of the state
ments made by Mrs. Simmons
had been confirmed by Irish law
yers and investigators, unknown
to either him or his subject,- by
last spring when his book was
prepared for publication. The
