Jenny He offered a crude insult. e Td I recently joined a new outfit and made friends with a man whom I invited home to dinner. He is unmarried and, I guess, accustomed to smart alecky talk with women. Evi dently he said something foolish to my wife. The next day he apologized to me, explaining that he said something offensive without half-realizing it. My wife, however, takes a very serious view of the matter and has told me that I dare not ever bring him home again. She tayi he is a rotten person, but I can't see that he is very much different from most unmarried men. Especially in view of the fact that the unpleasant incident oc curred and that he came to me to apologize for it, I would like to square things by having him over just once more, to demon strate that there are no hard feelings. I'm afraid that if we do not square things, an embarrass ing atmosphere may develop in the shop, where I am still new and need friends. It seems to me that my wife is being prim and narrow about this. Jenny I would hate to repeat what my husband's new-found "friend" said to me. In fact, I was afraid of real trouble be tween them so I tried to make light of the matter. But I defi nitely do not want him in my home again. I have thought of the desira bility of smoothing things over so that my husband will not feel any strain in the shop, but how can I let this man into my home again without having him feel that 1 will stand for more crude insults? I still hate the thought of tell ing my husband exactly what this man said to me, but my husband keeps pressing me to let him extend another invitation. Th Council: A husband has a right to demand some degree of social tolerance from his wife, but Ted seems to be going too far. This man is not an old friend ' for whom he can vouch, and he has admittedly been offensive. Ted should not put his wife to the need to repeat the exact words of an odious insult. Were the friend a married man who would come to the house accompanied by his wife, a sec ond invitation for appearances' sake might not be unreasonable. If Ted feels it is vital to "smooth over" this matter, he should at least have his friend bring a young lady. It is very foolish, however, for a husband not to trust his wife's judgment when she says that some new, bachelor acquaintance is persona non grata. She should without question have the last word in deciding what men she will not entertain in her home. Jenny, perhaps, should tell her husband that he would risk an ugly scene in his home if he were to let this man, unaccompanied by a girl, come for another visit. (Copyright 1956.

The Venezuelan government, aided by the U.S. Civil Aeronau tics board, began investigation Thursday into the cause of the worst disaster in the history of regular commercial flying. . The disintegrating impact of the crash about 32 miles off the New Jersey coast left grave doubts as to whether divers would be able to recover large enough pieces of the wreckage to assist the experts. The airliner, crippled by a runaway engine, plunged straight down in flames into about 120 feet of water. Coast Guard dragging operations have failed to locate any part of the plane's wings or fuselage. Evidence submitted to inves tigators indicated that Capt. Luis F. Plata, pilot of the doomed plane, might have dis regarded CAA regulations re garding emergency dumping of gasoline. The CAA flight manual, the approved handbook, recom mends that all unnecessary radio and electrical equipment be turned off during jettisoning of gasoline operations.
