stares at her wedding cake which got well battered dur

Mrs. L. R. - She should try
harder to flatter men.
Marilyn R. I've tried all
the tricks in the book.
i
Mrs. L. R-I am very much
concerned about my 24-year-old
daughter Marilyn, who
doesn't seem to know how to
hold a man.
She is quite attractive and
men are always .eager to- date
her at first. They make a big
fuss over her for one or two
dates and then disappear. It
may sound as though Marilyn
is beautiful but dumb. That
isn't the case. She is quite in
telligent. She had two years
of college and left only be
cause she wanted to do a cer
tain kind of work that didn't
call for a degree.
I feel that she doesn't make
enough effort to flatter a man,
to make him feel that he's
the great one. She should also
use a few more of the femi-
m i ci a ifitlre that crii-lc n:e and
not get discouraged if they
Hnn't work the first time.
Marilyn H. I guess I am
getting discouraged and that
is my main problem. I'm real
ly sick of making up to every
man I meet and getting no
where with it. It sure rubs
me the wrong way to have
flattered some nincompoop
man and then have him throw
me over after a few dates.
Everybody tries to give me
advice and I have tried just
about every "feminine trick
in the books. Maybe I'me get
ting old or something, but I
feel jaded and sometimes wish
I didn't have to go out at all.
I feel that I really go all
out to be pleasant to men
when I am on a date. On the
job men consider me a terror,
but I'm sure none of the men
I date would ever realize that.
Sometimes I think I'm trying
too hard.
The Council: An attractive,
Intelligent young woman
should have no trouble at all
holding men friends - if she
wanted them. She shouldn't
have to use "feminine tricks,'

indulge in insincere flattery
or "go all-out to be pleasant."
Marilyn shows some insight
into her problem when she
suspects that she is "trying
too hard." We all have a ten
dency to over-extend our
efforts when we try to com
pensate for a serious weak
ness or handicap. Marilyn,
who describes herself as some
thing of Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde
in her relationships with men,
apparently must overcome
her Marilyn - the - terror per
sonality everytime she dates a
man. Men undoubtedly sense
the strain and insincerity of
her efforts.
We believe that as a first
step in the right direction,
Marilyn ought to stop trying
so hard. As far as possible she
should try to relax and enjoy
herself on dates. She should
not worry about making her
self pleasing to her. com
panion. She should simply try
to. get to know him. She
should throw her "tricks" and
the other advice women have
given her right out the win
dow.
If Marilyn learns to relax
and enjoy herself on dates,
she may find that . the hos
tility and fear she feels in re
lation to men in her Mr.
Hyde personality, will grad
ually lessen. She will not find
it necessary to take revenge
on men for the torture she
now endures in the social
situation.
Marilyn should give this
plan a good try. If she finds
she can't make it work, she
might consider seeking some
psychiatric help.

Cold Reception
For Eisenhower's
School Aid Plan
Washington -flJPD- President
Eisenhower's new pay-later
plan for school construction
aid got a cold reception in
Congress Tuesday.
Democrats denounced the
proposal as "too little and too
late" and unworkable besides.
There was little outpouring of
enthusiasm from the Republi
can side.
Chairman James E. Murray
(D-Mont.) of the Senate educa
tion subcommittee called the
administration plan a "legis
lative monstrosity" designed
"not to help education but to
help bankers."
Promise Hearings
Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey
(D-W.Va.) chairman of the
House subcommittee on school
aid legislation, said it would
not help the school districts
that need aid the most.
Both Murray and Bailey
promised to give the adminis
tration a chance to state its
case at hearings.
But there appeared little
likelihood the administration
could sell the plari to the
heavily-Democratic Congress.
The administration plan
calls for a federal outlay of
$2,500,000,000 over 25 years
to help needy school districts
and colleges pay off bonds
for construction of new build
ings. Budget Not Affected
It would have no effect on
Eisenhower's narrowly bal
anced $77 billion budget since
no cash payments would be
made in the fiscal year start
ing July 1.
Actually, the administration
sent Congress two bills-one
for public school construction
and the other for colleges.
Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (Pa.)
ranking Republican on the
House Education Committee,
was one of the few to speak
out for the administration
plan. He described it as a
"unique and sensible approach
to meeting some of our urgent
educations needs."
Grand Jury Bill
Approved by House
Salem-(UPD-A bill empower
ing the courts to create more
than one grand jury in a
county was passed by the Ore
gon House Tuesday.
The bill cleared over objec
tions of Rep. Keith Kelton
(D-Eugene) that it might result
in as many as 13 grand juries
sitting at once in Multnomah
county and three each in Lane
and Marion counties.
Rep. George Layman (R-
Newberg) argued that such
a situation probably would
never develop and that the
bill was simply carrying out
a mandate of the people who
voted last November to ap
prove more than one grand
jury.

Creaking Old Capital
About To
By FRANK ELEAZER
Washington (UPD- It is ab
solutely, unequivocally not
true that the dome of the U.S.
Capitol is about to collapse,
and anybody who thinks so
must have been peeking at
some of its rusted plates and
corroded bolts recently un
covered by engineers.
Here is just one more evi
dence of the fact that a little
knowledge is a dangerous
thing. The reason officials
have barred tourists from the
Capitol rotunda, and are pre
paring to ring the dome inside
and out with steel scaffolds,
is not because they are doom
sters architecturally speaking.
They are just cautious.
They want to know for sure
whether the cast iron struc
ture is tired. They also will
sleep better nights after es
tablishing that the 4,664-square-foot
fresco painted in
plaster 94 years ago on the
inside of the top of the dome
isn't about to come hurtling
down 180 feet onto the heads
of the. taxpayers, not to men
tion the members of Congress.
Plaster May Be Cracking

cracking, but this could be an
illusion.
Nor has anybody seen some
of the dome's innermost struc
ture since it was finished in
1865, an 8,909,200-pound cast
iron miracle of its time and
still, Capitol officials believe,
the biggest dome of cast iron
anywhere in the world.
. Signs of deterioration which
inspectors have uncovered,
however, have prompted offi
cials to push forward at once
with a major inspection and
overhaul of the doriie. At least
four of its 36 outer iron ribs
are to be removed. If tests
show age and stress has taken
its toll, all 36 ribs will .be
replaced. ,
One worrisome problem is
that the dome swings with the
sun. Not so" you can see it.
But you can sometimes hear
it creak as the hot side ex
pands and the cool side con

been measured at between

days and you think Harry S.
Truman was right when he
said the dome one day would
be toppling over.
Aside from any internal de
fects it may have, the dome,
according to Truman, was off
balance. Congress finally
agreed and is spending $10,-
100,000 to tear down the east
front and. relocate it, in more
permanent form, - 32Vi feet
further out.
The old front is down now,
with the result that the skirt
of the dome seems to be hang
ing over the plaza in space
However, engineers say there
is no safety problem here,
They also deny that the op
eration of heavy cranes and
jackhammers necessary to
tear down the east front play
a part in their concern at the
dome's internal condition

Geneva-dTD-Protestant and

ence to promote Christian

The churchmen meeting
here are members of the 14
man executive committee of
the "World Council of Church

major Christian denomination
except the Roman Catholics.
The committee's decisions

Prominent figures attend
ing the meeting include
Franklin Clark Fry, U.S.'
