Martha S. I don't want to
name the baby after my
i parents.
1 Mrs. r. G. She doesn't
care about our family's
feelings.
'
Martha S. I have been
married two years and am to
become a mother in a few
months. Both my parents died
while I was still a child and
I was brought up by one of
my aunts.
My problem is the naming
of my baby. Under ordinary
circumstances, I would name
a girl for my mother and a
boy for my father. But my
mother-in-law is a very super
stitious woman. She has
begged me not to name a child
after my parents because they
had such short lives. She
wants me to name him or her
after long-lived members of
her own family and my, hus
band goes along-with her on
this.
My mother-in-law has been
so good to me like a real
mother and-1 want to please
her, as well as my husband. I
feel if my parents were alive
they would understand and
forgive me. I told both my
mother's and father's families
what I plan to do and they are
in an uproar.
Mrs. F. G. Naturally our
family is furious. How can
Martha be so callous toward
her mother's memory that she
is willing to forget her when
she names her child?
This mother-in-law of Mar
tha's is a stupid, uneducated,
superstitious woman. Why
should she get her own way
just because she has the nerve
to make such a request? I
have brought Martha up like
my own child, but she doesn't
have enough respect for me
to listen to me in such an im
portant matter.
We all suspect Martha has
been influenced by this wo
man's superstitions. She is too
Asthmatics! We give $5 trade-in
allowance for your old neb (even
if broken) on a new Breatheasy
set precision pyrex nebulizer;
bottle of inhalant; zipper carry
ing case. Money-back guarantee.
At Your Druggist
intelligent a girl to accept
such beliefs. . Yet she seems
ready to bend herself any way
at all to please her mother-in-law
and her husband. She
seems to have no thought for
the feelings of our family,
after all we have done for her.
If she gives in to this thing
she will regret it all her life.
She must have some feeling
for her parents.
The Council Martha seems
to have thought out her posi
tion quite clearly. ' It is pos
sible that she has been some
what affected by her mother-in-law's
superstition, but even
if this is the case, she has a
right to be guided by what
ever feelings she has devel
oped in this matter.
Martha feels her own par
ents would understand her at
titude if they knew the prob
lem and both her mother's
and father's families ought to
try to give her the same un
derstanding she would get
from her parents. They are
being unfair in putting this
unpleasant pressure on a
mother-to-be. They are blight
ing her happiness by putting
an unnecessary burden of
guilt on her.
The naming of a baby really
concerns only the mother and
father, and if Martha and her
husband have reached a satis
factory agreement, nobody
has the right to interfere or
to question the basis of their
decision.

American-Style Belgrade Supermarket
Throws Housewives' Budgets for Loop
Pflimlin Seen in
Trouble in France
Paris (W Right-wing
French politicians under pres
sure at home and from Al
geria threatened today to up
set Popular Republican Pierre
Pflimlin's effort to form
France's 27th postwar govern
ment. Neo-Fascists shouting "Al
geria is French" and "The
Army to Power," staged a
near riot against President
Coty in Paris Sunday.
French settlers in Algeria
were fearful that investiture
of Pflimlin might mean a
swing toward a liberal policy
toward the North African territory.
Belgrade, Yugoslavia
Yugoslav housewives are suf
fering a capitalist complaint
today:
The city's new supermarket
is knocking their budgets for
a loop.
A young wife who works
in a government office said,
"I rarely spend more than I
allot to food when, I shop on
the regular market. But this
is the third time I've come to
the supermarket and every
single time I've gone over my
budget. All that attractive
food, the fruit, those choco
lates and biscuits . . . they
tempted me every time."
The American-model mar
ket opened its door on April
28, and promptly closed them
again so it could handle the
flood of customers. The days
after the grand opening, wo
men still were lining up in
half-a-dozen queues, each 200
to 300, strong, waiting-patient-ly
for their turn to enter the
neon-lit paradise.
Peasants Think It Wonderful
The ' supermarket, believed
the first in Communist East
Europe, was so popular, au
thorities kept it open through
out the four-day "May Day"
holidays.
The old peasants from the
villages have dubbed it, "the
American Market," because it
is so wonderful.
They know the market was
the star attraction of the U. S.
exhibit at last September's
Zagreb fair. They know self
service is an American idea,
and that the market was set
up here by TJ. S. experts. But
nothing has been able to per
suade them that the colorful
displays of food, and the mar
ket itself, now belongs to
"Vracar," the state-controlled
import-export organization.
Gets Name
To the peasants, it's "The
American Market," and likely
to keep that name.
It has become the sensation
of Belgrade. '
Even after closing time,
families stroll down "Tito
street" to the center of town
and look through the store
windows to see the pyramids
of canned foods, the. shelves
of liquors and the mounds of
fruits and cheeses.
Prices are higher than in
the open markets or regular
shops, but the customers rec
ognize that the quality of the
merchandise has also been
held high. '
Can't Stay Away ,
Despite the prices and the
family budget, the Belgrade
housewives haven't been able
to stay away from the 30-by-90
foot store.

Indo Rebels Hope Attacks on
Shipping Forces Action by UN
By ROBERT UDICK
United Press Correspondent
Singapore OP) Indonesian
rebels hope their attacks on
foreign shipping may force
the United Nations to act in
the Indonesian civil war, ac
cording to an informed source.
The source said the attacks
had a primary purpose of
blunting any buildup of Ja
karta forces close enough to
attack Mendao, and a second
ary purpose, as seen in the at
tacks on foreign shipping, of
extending the economic war
fare against Jakarta's shaky
foreign exchange position.
But many observers here
have wondered why the reb
els, who identify their anti
Communist leanings with
those of the West, would seem
ingly try to alienate maritime
nations of the West by bomb
ing and sinking their ships.
U. N. Intervention Urged
Rebel ' Prime Minister Sja
fruddin has on several occa
sions urged United Nations in
tervention. Certainly, if bomb
ing of foreign shipping con
tinues, the United Nations or
some other agency is likely to

Washington (IP) Diplo
matic officials said, they un

would lift its embargo against
arms shipments to the Indone
sian Central Government as
soon as the country's civil war
ends.
A state department spokes
man disclosed Friday that U.
S. and Indonesian representa
tives discussed the matter ear
lier this week. But he said
the United States made "no
commitments."
The spokesman also dis
closed that this country, act
ing in the role "of a post of
fice," relayed to Formosan au
tnorities a complaint by Indo
nesian President Sukarno that
Chinese Nationalists were sup

Red China To Cut
Japan Trade Ties
Tokyo (IP) - Communist
China was reported moving
Saturday to break all trade
relations with Japan in .retal
iation to the refusal of the
Japanese government to al
low the Red Chinese flag to
fly in Tokyo.
At the same time, Japanese
officials denounced as "out
right interference" in Japan
ese domestic affairs the at
tack on prime minister No
busuke Kishi by Red Chinese
foreign minister Chen Yi in
connection with the controversy.
Chen accused Kishi of
"sabotaging" a recently con
cluded private trade agree
ment between the two coun
tries. He said if Kishi thought
Red China had to trade with
Japan, the Japanese prime
minister "truly had the halhr
cination of an idiot."
be forced to pav direct
interest.
Indonesians on both sides of
the present conflict recall the
important role played by the
United Nations in their- show
down with the Dutch in the
late 1940s.
Correspondents covering
revolutionary government de
velopments in Padang and
later Bukittinggi found strong
feeling among some rebel
leaders that a United Nations
imposed "status quo" would
in the final analysis help the
rebel cause. It would allow
them to carry on non-shooting
economic warfare the kind
of a war they originally hoped
to fight.
Until recent developments
in eastern Indonesia, rebel
leaders have shown opposi
tion to taking steps that would
do long-range damage to In
donesian economics. This was
seen in their avoidance of tak
ing what seemed the logical
and likely step of damaging
Caltex, Stanvac and Shell in
stallations on Sumatra after
they passed into full Jakarta
control.
Oil Plants Escape Damage
At one time, Sjafruddin
warned that unless Caltex
started putting Indonesian
revenues into escrow ac
counts, denying Jakarta the
exchange, "We will take steps
to shut down production."
. But it was known that

Weil, Jr., 50, former president
of Macy's New York and for
mer vice president of R. H.
Macy & Co., the parent con
cern, died Saturday of a heart

Banker Sjafruddin was keenly
aware that such shutdowns, in
the face of the present world
wide over-supply of oil could
do long-range damage to In
donesia. It could, lost markets
that might take some time to
win back.
An additional angle to the
air attacks became clear when
a statement was issued by the
rebel government warning
that "foreign ships would not
be safe in Indonesian waters
unless they carried clearances
from the rebel government.
If followed, this could give
impetus to rebel efforts for
long sought examples of "de
facto" recognition.

For Volunteers
Singapore (IP) The Indo;

for "freedom-loving" volun

Insurgent Lt. Col. Ventje
Sumual, broadcasting from his
stronghold at Menado oh Cele

He pointed out that 13 Indo
