Td My wife resent my new
friend.
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.

Oregon State
Labor Council
OKs Resolutions
Portland (U.PJ The newly
formed Oregon State Labor
Council yesterday approved
unanimously resolutions favor
ing a federal grand jury investi
gation into wire tap allegations
here and legislation requiring
disclosure each year of opera
tions of union health and wel
fare funds.
The resolution on wiretapping
said such practice long has been
opposed by labor as a threat to
a democratic government. Wire
tap accusations have been made
in connection with a current
probe into vice allegations here.
Demand for Reports
The demand for full reports
on union health and welfare
funds was reported to be an
outgrowth of congressional in
vestigations. Among other resolutions, the
council called for separation of
the unemployment and work
men's compensation commis
sions and appointment of the
public member as chairman; en
dorsed idea of a 56-hour week
for firemen; approved a Con
gressional bill under which Ore
gon would receive $15,000,000
in four years for schools which
it would have to match, de
manded a representative of labor
of the State Civil Service Com
mission, and proposed that dis
tribution of road users tax be
changed to provide adequate
funds for county roads.

Costs Friend Eye
Hollywood (U.R) A 37-year-old
television employee has
lost the sight of his right eye
as a result of injuries suffered
when a sports car driven by
Edward G. Robinson Jr. side
swiped four parked cars.
Doctors reported Thursday

Thursday.

dent. He was released on S5.000
bail and ordered to return to a
Los Angeles court next Tues
day. Officers at the West Los An
geles police station said Robin
son failed to pass a sobriety

with the car's steering mechan
ism.
Authorities said the youth
was driving with an operator's
license which was ordered re
voked June 5 because of pre
vious traffic violations. Two
months ago he was treated for

Naval Divers
Seek Airliner
New York J0J.R) Naval div
ers will attempt today to find
"significant pieces" of the Vene
zuelan airliner which crashed
into the Atlantic ocean Wednes
day, killing all 74 persons
aboard.
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.

tended it was inconvenient for

Suzanne Fulinello, 24, con
tended in a complaint filed Oct.
17, 1952, that Loes, 26, fathered
her daughter born in December,
1952.
Loes has denied he ever met
Miss Fulinello.
Miss Fulinello was found
guilty last week of assault with
intent to rob in connection with
a holdup attempt of a Newark
real estate agency. She awaits

For Safe Record
The National Safety Council
has cited 40 U. S. scheduled air
lines in recognition of their con
tribution to safe air transporta
tion in 1955.
Among those receiving awards
was West Coast airlines, which
received its ninth consecutive
award.
The 1955 passenger death
rate of .76 deaths per 100 mil
lion passenger-miles for domes
tic operations only was the
fourth consecutive year that the
rate has been below 1.
West Coast and Frontier Air
lines, with nine years of safe
operation headed the list of the
local service carriers which have
had vperfect records since their
operations began.
The Council said that the sab
otage of an airliner near Long
mont, Colo., last November, re
suiting in the death of 44 per
sons, was not included in the
accident totals.
