SUwarl J-Our boy dreams
too much.
Eihtl J .-Some of the great
est men have been dreamers.
SUwart J.-My wife and I
re in disagreement about
how to handle our 15-year-old
, son.
Joel is a dreamer. He al
ways has been, but now it's
; worse than ever. He just goes
off in the middle of a con
versation. He looks at you
blankly and sort of smiles and
you can see that he isn't lis
tening to a word. J know that
he must do the same thing at
; school because his marks are
poor in spite of his intelli
, gence. A teacher once told
us he is above average.
I feel that he must be forced
into more activities sports,
mainly. There is nothing like
it for bringing a man out of
himself. He resents all my
suggestions and his mother
sides with him. I feel that
she's doing him a lot of dam
age.
Ethel JWhat's the matter
with being a dreamer? Some
- of our greatest men have been
dreamers. I feel that Joel
will amount to something
; some day. I always remem
ber what the teacher told us.
A lot of great men had poor
marks in school. - -
Joel just isn't like other
boys in most respects. He
doesn't like sports and gets
very sore when his father
nags him about it. If he en
joyed these things I would
be very happy, but I don't
think he should be forced in
to anything.
My husband treats Joel as
though he were a problem
child and I think this is very
bad. He is our only child
and we should be careful to
avoid making too much of a
fuss about him. He's a good
kid. He'll grow out of his
daydreaming.
Tho Council: Most adoles
cents daydream. It can't be
considered a serious problem
unless it starts taking the
place of too many other things
in a child's life.
In this case, we get the im
pression that Joel is veering
in this unhappy direction. An
; even more dangerous sign in
the picture is the mother's
! daydreaming. There is a pos
sibility that Joel dreams so
much because he is beginning
- to fear he can't fulfill his
, mother's dreams for him in
' Teal life.
Ethel must try to come out
: of her dream and recognize
that daydreaming plus poor
marks are not necessarily
signs of greatness. The so
called dreams of many great
men involved a good deal of
solid thinking. . When . the
dreams are of this sort they
usually manifest themselves
in the dreamer's lively inter-
est in many things in life.
-Another type of dream is
a kind of wishful thinking
game with the dreamer fant-
tasying himself in some bet
ter, more powerful some ex
citing situation than he occu-
. pies. For children and ado
lescents such dreams are
sometimes the spur to future
action. : In some youngsters,
however, the dreams become
the be-all and end-all. The
child becomes increasingly
. withdrawn from the chal
lenges of real life.
Apparently Ethel has fal
len into this dangerous pit.
For some reason life has been
a disappointment to her. In
stead of struggling to find the
missing element in her life
and making an effort to sup
ply it, she daydreams of find
ing some satisfaction through
the "greatness"of her son. She
has placed a most unhappy
burden upon him.
This boy badly needs un-i
out some of his real abilities.
Forcing him into sports isn't
the answer. A way must be
found to discover some of his i
dormant inclinations. Then he
should get some help and en
couragement in developing
: these inclinations further.

ButlerThreatens To Shift Demo
Convention Site in Ticket Feud
Washington - (LTD - Demo
crat ic National Chairman
Paul M." Butler, will fly to Los
Angeles today in. an effort, to
settle the hassle over the dis
tribution of tickets for the
party's 1960 cbnvention there.
Butler has warjied that he
will consider shifting the con
vention frpnr Los Angeles un
less the dispute is settled by
Monday.
A spokesman said Butler
will meet with Mayor Norris
Poulson of Los Angeles, a Re
publican, and . Democratic
leaders. However, he has no
firm schedule and his length
of stay in Los Angeles will
depend on how the situation
develops.
He made his threat of a
possible convention shift
Wednesday.
Ultimatum 'Hogwash'
Frank G. Bonelli, chairman
of the Los Angeles Board of
Supervisors, branded Butler's
ultimatum "h o g w a s h." He
said Butler would be "the
laughing stock of the, whole
nation" if he made good the
threat.
"I don't think he'd dare,"
Bonelli said.
But Paul Ziffren, Cali
f o r n i a Democratic national
committeeman, said he feared
the hassle over tickets for the
convention was so serious that
Los Angeles might lose the
1960 meeting.
A spokesman for the na
tional committee said Butler
notified the California Demo
crats by telephone Wednesday
that the matter "must be set
tled very promptly." He said
Butler "will reopen the ques
tion of where the convention
goes" if the ticket fight is not
patched up by Monday.
New Bids Expected
The national committee se
lected Los Angeles as the con
vention site Feb. 27 over Chi
cago, Philadelphia, New York
City, Miami Beach and Atlan
tic City, N.J. Butler's spokes
man said the losmg cities
could submit their old bids or
new ones if the feud were not
settled.
The squabble appeared
solved Wednesday after the
host committee at Los An
geles agreed to a compromise
worked out by Poulson which
Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A CANNY BOOKSELLER in Wisconsin, hooked with fifty
copies of a 900-page novel, inserted this ad in- the morning
paper: "Millionaire, handsome, wishes to meet, with a view
to marriage, a girl who be
haves just like the heroine
in .James So-and-rso's new
novel."
By nightfall the book
seller was out of stock!
Girls seeking fame in Holly
wood might hearken to this
bit of advice from one who
made the grade: "Clear your
complexion, learn how to en
ter a room, buy & sexy ward
robe and first thing you know,
youH be married, have half a
dozen kids, and forget the
whole silly business."
i
No Secretary of the Treasury should play golf, says Bob Hope.
"When he steps up to a. tee," says Hope, "he'll get to thinking
about the budget and will begin slicing."

would have given the commit
tee 3,133 tickets. The commit
tee wanted 5,000. Butler al
lotted 1,500.
But Butler wired the host
committee a short time later
that he would not give it any
more than 1,500 tickets. Esti
mates of seats in the new
Sports Arena range from
16,000 to 20,000.
Oilman Edwin Pauley,
treasurer of the host commit
tee, said the Los Angeles
group had documentary proof
that the National Committee
had agreed to give it 5,000
tickets.
Position Unchanged
He said Wednesday night in
Mexico City, where he was
reached by telephone, that
"his position on the controver
sy remained unchanged.
Asked about Butler's "ul
timatum," Pauley said:
"When you issue an ulti
matum, you must have the
sovereignty. I'm not sure that
Butler has-but even a sov
ereign has no right to renege
on his word.

Senate Democrats
Discuss Defeat
Of Veto Override
Washington - HTD Senate
Democrats disputed among
themselves today over wheth
er they should have made the
unsuccessful attempt to over
ride President Eisenhower's
veto of their housing bill.
The vote to override was
55-40, or 9 short of the re
quired two-thirds majority.
The differences were aimed
as the Senate Banking Com .
mittee began drafting new
legislation to replace the SI,
375,000,000 measure which
the President vetoed on
grounds it ' was extravagant
and inflationary.
Eisenhower Objects
-A $1,050,000,000 substitute
was drawn up by a subcom
mittee last week.- Eisenhower
has voiced objections to four
or five provisions of' the pro
posed new bill, complicating
the committee's problem.
Senate Democratic Leader.
Lyndon B. Johnson chided
some members of his party
for pressing to override when,
he said, they knew they
would lose.
As to a suggestion that fail
ure to reverse the veto Wed
nesday "may result in poli
tical gain to the Democrats,'
he said: "I don't think so.
Strategically Wise
Several other Democrats i
said the effort to override was
strategically wise, despite its
failure.
Sen. Gale McGee (D-Wyo.)
said "this puts the blame
where it belongs-in the White
House."
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) agreed but also said
that the result vindicated
Johnson, who "had been
under heavy attack from cer
tain Democratic senators of
his own party to try to enact
stronger housing bill."
At Gettysburg where he is
vacationing, Eisenhower was
reported "quite pleased" that
his veto was sustained.
Bandits Use Toy
Pistol in Holdup
Portland - (UPD - Two men

tion here, Wednesday. They
bound three employees of the
firm and a customer with ad
hesive tape i before making

Office Manager Jl o b e r t
'Schmidt, assistant manager
Gil Thornton and Secretary
Avis Keef along with John
Edwards, who was a custom
er in the firm at the time of
