Agnei R. - My husband in herited a house from his late mother but it had a string at tached. His sister Janet was to be entitled to quarters in the house until she married. And what a string that turns out to be. It's more like a rope tying us all together so we can't get free. Janet is a crank and a fusspot. She never got along with cither her mother or her brother while they lived together before 1 entered upon the scene. Now there are constant quarrels and, because of her, our mar riage has a rocky time. It's been two years now since I moved in. There's no sign of anyone marrying this "char acter." No one will be foolish enough to risk it. Her mother must have known this when she made her will. I want Janet to come to a lawyer with us and work out a change. Janet R. - The only reason Agnes and Bob quarrel with me is that Agnes thought I'd niove out in a few months and her own mother and sister could move In. She's Just get ting impatient. Every time her family visits they glare at me as though I'm using some thing that belongs to them. Well, the home is my home and I'll live there until I have a better home to move to. I doubt that this would ever be possible. It's a big house and I have a three-room apart ment, complete with my own kitchen and bath, on the top floor. Naturally I'm interested in the house's receiving proper care and upkeep. Yet Bob re sents it when 1 call his atten tion to a sagging step. And Agnes can't take it when I do the bathrooms over, right af ter .she "cleans" them. If It were up Id those two, the place would cave in from neglect. Thi Councils When is a ten ant not a tenant? When is a roommate not a roommate? When she's a relative, of course. There are mature families In which a livc-and-lct-live pact prevails without spelling anything out. These can occu py adjoining quarters and still adhere to the by-your-leave politeness observed by any considerate neighbor. But the legacy of Agncs's mother-in-law didn't confer wisdom, grace or maturity on her chil dren. Nor did it take note of factors which might disrupt, rather than enrich, their lives. Even if all were moonlight and roses between Agnes and Janet, the architectural setup lTf f 'H sounds impossible from the privacy angle. Evidently Jan et must ankle through the young couple's quarters to reach her own. And, en route, she "sees things" which she proceeds to call to their at tcntion. They, in turn, rankle at her criticism. Unless Jan et's apartment is completely separate, with a separate en trance, the rancor will con tinue to infest the place. We disagree with Agnes, however, as to what was in the mother's mind in making the bequest. No mother would agree that her daughter is hopclcs s 1 y unmarriageablc. Surely the senior Mrs. R. as sumed that Janet's stay with her brother and sister-in-law would be a short one. At the same time she took the nat ural precaution of providing permanent shelter for Janet in ease the young woman was unable to establish a separate home for herself. Inasmuch as no one is hap py with the present design, we suggest that Agnes and Bob take Janet up on her intention to live with them "until I have a belter home to move to." And we urge Janet to accompany them to the law yer and listen open-mindedly to alternate suggestions, whereby she'll still have a safe and spacious apartment, but under another roof. And instead of being "under foot" every day in her brother's home, she can be a pleasant and dignified guest once or twice a month. A probated will is Inviola ble. But often, with the help of lawyers, the terms can be adjusted so as to realize the intent even belter than was before possible. The intent, here, was to offer Janet a place to live. Surely this can be carried out in a more wholesome way.. Sherman Adams Moving Back Into Public Eye as Lecturer JOHN LUSK for COUNCILMAN WARD 4 "The City'i Buiinati In i butinetllike manntr."

H. - lUPli - When Sherman Adams quit unrle: lire as assistant to President Eisenhower in 1958, he swap ped his important White House job for the life of a CJuntry squire. Since then he has lived in obscurity in his old hometown this White Mountains ham let of 1,400 inhabitants. Life to Adams has consisted of .sol itary hikes on the surroiind inp mountain slopes, an occa sional Rotarian luncheon, rou tine visits to the post office and general store, and Sur:d-iy rervices at the tiny Union church. In the seclusion of his home here on Pollard road, Adams wrote a book, "Firrt hond report: The Story of tne Eisenhower Administration," published last year Yean in Waihington This was an account of his years in Washington an episode which ended abrupt ly when he resigned as presi dential ass'stanl after dis closure of favors ho had re ceived from millionaire New England industrialist Bernard Ooldfine.

In pursuit of a better under, landing of American poli tics, the "dialogues" are .n tended to bring together a person experienced in prac tical politics and others who tie eminent students of the political process.

Membership in the associ ation, which is by invitation, includes the principal univer sity libraries of the United States and Canada, as well as the Library of Congress, the NationaTLibrary of Medicine, the National Agricultural Li brary, the New York Public Library, and other non-university libraries. The association has been, for more than 30 years, the principal organization of the major research libraries of the country. The main efforts of the as sociation iiave been directed toward the building and strengthening of research li braries collections and the de velopment of bibliographical controls for research materi als. Improvement of the schol arly resources of this coun try has been a constant objective. just one thing money. If you're typical, that "sense of agreement" about money which you seemed to have during your courtship was mostly surface and it disappeared right after your marriage. You have had to learn a whole new way of managing your money properly and quite possibly, you haven't learned yet. You have trouble meeting your expenses from time to time. You're not at all unusual if in the past, you have failed to make an instalment payment on the due date of an ap pliance or furniture or a car and have had to ask your creditor for an extension. And if you're the wife in this typical couple, you prob ably pay most of the family bills, worry more than your husband about meeting them and have a strong conservative streak which makes you wary about risking any of your nestegg on a speculative venture. The November issue of "Redbook" magazine, to be published next week, will include a detailed study on "What Money Does To Marriage," based on answers lo a comprehensive questionnaire from 446 young married copules living all over the United States and Canada. While this may not be a scientific cross section of American families under 35, Mrs. Luise Addies, home economist for ihe Community Service Society of New York, the largest family social agency In the country, told Redbook she believes the answers are "representative of most young married couples." From my knowledge of other surveys and hundreds of interviews I've had over the yeari, I believe they are loo. For instance, the finding that most couples nearly 60 per cent quarrel about money rings true. Consider this from a couple living in an apartment development with such thin walls that everyone is privy to family arguments: "We ve been here four years, and in all that time I don't think I've i tv sch0ol officials of eastern heard an argument that wasn't about money, really. It might a'n(j western states seem to have seemed to oe aoout ine car or presents or ainner out j fcc a ncC(J for sucn reorgani. or lllIdWA, uui wiii-ii j-iju fcui i i&iii uuwii iu il, an ine iiKiiis were about money." That's an astute, observation. The finding thai families who quarrel the most are in the middle-income ($6,000 to $0,000 a year) bracket also rings true. Asks Murray Teigh Bloom, who wrote up the study: "Is this because, unlike couples with no money for luxuries or couples with ample money, these husbands and wives must agree or clash in choosing the few luxuries they can afford?" The answer is implicit in his question yes. Confirmed loo by many other studies is the finding that wives are financial conservatives. When asked "if someone you trusted gave you an admitted long shot as a speculative investment, would you take a flyer?", more than half the families said "no" and in families divided on this, the wives who were against taking a flyer outnumbered those in favor by five to one. Every profile of the woman stockholder has underlined her general conservatism in investing and the fact that women are the dominant owners of such traditional blue chips as American Telephone, Eastman Kodak, duPont pinpoints this characteristic. In some of the answers there are significant guides. As one illustration, nearly half the families questioned re ported that each partner had a personal money allowance that need not be accounted for. This does help make a successful marriage. As another illustration, a survey sur prise was the disclosure that 70 per cent of the wives in addition to 95 per cent of the husbands carried life in surance. This is a common sense move to protect ihe children. Of course, there was a question about budgets and again ringing true was the finding that almost 50 per cent of the couples had tried budgets and given them up. But many have budgets without realizing it; their very fights about money reveal their awareness of spending plans. In sum, t lie results indicate, as Mrs. Addiss says, that young couples are "doing a responsible job in managing their money, spending il wisely and on the whole doing a remarkably thoughtful job. Someone ought to congratulate them." Herewith, I do.
