Betty H. - I made an in
nocent remark and he's turn
ing it into a life sentence.
Jerome R. - I agree with
Chaucer that, "Many a true
word is spoken in jest."
Betty R. - Let me tell you
exactly what happened the
other night. I was reading an
account in the paper about a
woman hiring someone to beat
her husband to death with a
lead pipe. I mentioned it to
Jerry and I added, "I can
. understand a woman getting
desperate enough to do that,
Maybe the man was a brute.
This ought to teach a lesson to
other husbands who act cruel'
ly."
Maybe he'd been feeling low
and brooding at the time, but
' he jumped on' me and said
"See, it slipped out. Now
know how you feci!"
There I wa'sj only kidding,
It was a passing thought, and
I made the comment by way
of ordinary conversation. Sud,
denly he took it seriously and
now I'm afraid to say any
thing at all - even "It's getting
late!" - because he'll find hid'
den meanings there.
Jerome R. I don't like that
kind of joking. Is that any
Area Educators To
Attend Conference
Ashland - Miss Helena Rob
inson, associate . professor of
music at Southern Oregon col'
lege, will be on the program of
the Northwest Division of the
Music Educators National con-
ference,' March 15 to 18, In
Spokane, Wash.
Miss Robinson wlll be chair
man of the general session on
junior high school music, pre
fent a lecture-demonstration
: at the special ' sessions for
classroom teachers, and also
present a report for members
of the college student chapters
of MENC, of which she is state
counselor!
The theme of this biennial
convention is "Music, a Fine
Art in the School." Sessions
are scheduled for all levels
from elementary school
through college.
Also attending the confer
ence from the SOC music fac
ulty will be Oscar BJorlle,
whose daughter, Judy, will
play in the All-Northwest
High School Orchestra.
Other musio educators from
the southern part of the state
who will participate in the
program include Dr. Justin
Dyrud, vocal music supervi
sor of Medford, and Dale Hal
lack of Klamath Falls,- whose
choir and symphony orchestra
will perform.
Music educators from Ore
gon, Washington,- Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming, and Alaska I
will attend.
wav for a woman to talk
making excuses for a wife
who hires someone to kill her
husband?
If she said it just to see what
effect that sort of talk woum
have on me, well, she saw. It
had the effect of making me
think the newspaper put an
idea In her head now. If it
wasn't for our getting along
so well, even with a few bouts
now and then, I'd be more
scared of her than I am.
Even so, she put a new
thought into my head and
can't get rid of it. A thing
like that can make a man
afraid to go to sleep at night,
Okay, let's agree she wasn't
serious, and she was just talk
ing in general. Still, she
sounded very definite and con
vincing - just like someone
who meant business.
e
The Council! Betty's remark
is like the cup of tea that
was blamed for the gour
mand's stomach-ache. He said
he felt fine after eating lob
sler, turkey, roast beef,- and
lamb-chops at one sitting, but
began to feel 111 after taking a
few sips of hot tea.
Certainly there's something
bilious in this marriage, or in
Jerry's mind, If a casual ob
servation can unleash such a
bitter and antagonistic re
sponse. Perhaps Jerry's doctor
or clergyman- can decide
whether he feels threatened
by "life", by everyone, or only
by Betty. If his un-ease and
suspiciousness grow into a per
vasive attitude, he will de
velop delusional tendencies.
unless treated promptly. If,
however, he was merely
pouncing on Betty s statement
in order to "have things out"
with her, a marriage counselor
can be enlisted to get at the
causes of his mistrust and
fear.'
Can It be that Jerry feels
he hasn't been treating Betty
right and she'd be justified in
being furious with him? Did
her simple statement bring
his own guilt feelings, and
their complement of terror
and panic, to the surface? It's
important for this husband
and wife to examine the
health of their relationship as
it - was before the little col
loquy about somebody else's
lead-pipe dreams.
A couple who are tuned in
smoothly on each other's
wave-lengths get the "true'
message, regardless of static
and Interference. Unfortunate
ly, Jerry and Betty are on
separate channels,, and alone,
together - preferably with
outside guidance - must re
trace and get back "on the
track."
It's as valid in human na
ture as in physics that "to
every action there's an equal
and opposite reaction." Both
Mr; and Mrs. R. must now dig
just as deep as the eruption
was high.

Feuds Revived as Hearings by
Morse's Subcommittee Start
By YVONNE FRANKLIN
Mail Tribune Washington
Bureau
Washington - (Special) -Sen.
Wayne Morse in his de
but as chairman of the Labor
Subcommittee
on Education,
began hear-
ings last week
in a room as
cavernous
mead hall in
Beowulf, and
feuds were
revived that
seemed almost
Franklin as ancient.
Senator J. W. Fullbricht of
Arkansas briefly refought the
Civil War with Senator Jo
seph Clark of Pennsylvania.
Senators Morse, Jacob Javits
(R-N.Y.) and secretary of
health, education and welfare
Abraham Ribicoff tangled in
the paralyzing web of aid to
parochial schools and wheth
er or not federal money
should be given to Southern
schools which defy court or
ders to desegregate.
There had been much spec
ulation about Morse's posi
tion inasmuch as he had in
troduced such an amendment
to the 1960 school bill provid
ing loans to private and par
ocial schools. It was defeated
by a narrow margin, with no
debate on Its constitutionali
ty. Morse announced during
the hearing that he was not
going to introduce such an
amendment at this time:
"However," he said, "two

i
of my . colleagues will offer
an amendment to provide
loans to private schools. I
urged them not to introduce
the amendment for the rea
sons I set forth on the Sen-
ale floor when I introduced
the legislation."
Morse then directed Ribi
coff to have his department
prepare statements setting
forth the1 position of the ad
ministration on the constitu
tional question and other
questions concerning such an
amendment. He asked for a
brief setting forth state aid
that is given to private schools
(transportation, school books,
etc.), and for a memorandum
containing a digest of federal
aid that now goes to all pri
vate institutions, denomina
tions, hospitals, private foun
dations and the like. He said
that he would elaborate his
own views in the due course
of time.
Senator Javits brought up
civil rights: He said that he
could not see why the feder
al courts on one hand would
be issuing contempt citations
while on the other the federal
government would be giving
segregated schools money.
Understanding of All People
"I believe in the Supreme
Court decision legally and
morally. I cannot imagine any
greater tragedy, however,
than trying to solve every
problem and putting every
one of them on the back of
education.- The problem of
civil rights will have to bo
faced in Congress by civil
rights legislation, further de
cisions of the Supreme Court,
by legislation in the states'
legislatures, and by the gov
ernors of the 50 states - and
it isn't only 'the Southern
states with the problems. It
is going to take the under
standing of all the people of
country."
Morse then picked up Ribi
coff s theme and continued:
"I shall oppose any civil
rights amendment to this bill.
First, it is not a civil rights
bill, it is an education bill. It
is most unfair to risk defeat
of this bill and thereby jeo
pardize the educational inter
ests of little boys and gills,
while their elders are In
controversy over civil rights.
Offer Amendments
"I want strict enforcement
of civil rights; I want to end
segregation as rapidly as it
can be brought about; and I
shall offer In due course of
time several amendments to
the civil rights laws which
will bring that about."
The bill under consideration
calls for spending $2.3 billion
for public elementary and
secondary schools over
three-year period. In the first '
year, the sum would be $666
million, in the second $766
million and the third, $866
million. No state will receive i
less than $15 per public
school child. The poorest
state, Mississippi will Tcceive
$29.67. The amount the state
receives Is based on the per
capita income. The states
themselves decide whether to
use the funds for school con
struction or teachers' salaries.
Senator Fulbright was lead-
off witness, pleading in a soft
Southern accent for the
poorer states, saying that
they do not have the tax base;
to support an adequate educa
tional system as the richer
slates do. Senator Clark
agreed, but stud there was a
limit that the more affluent
states could spend, and that
Pennsylvania wasn t as rich)
as some people may think."
This touched a sensitive
nerve, and ruiurigni insisted,;
"Now, there is no doubt;
about It, Pennsylvania Is rlch.j
the Internal Revenue proves;
It." And he revived memories!
of Reconstruction days and!
"Our economy was de
stoyed 100 years ago, and it
was difficult to rebuild our
area. We are behind even
though we are now spending
a greater part of our income
for our schools than the
richer states. We have been
exploited by the aluminum
companies of Pennsylvania.
Our bauxite, our timber is
owned by Pennsylvania and
Connecticut. Up until World
War II we were kept from in
dustrializing; we were just
producers of raw materials."
Then he abruptly stopped,
and continued mildly:
"Now when you come to
education, this Is a national
matter, our whole people are
involved; we are trying to im-

Clark said no more, but
