Richmond, V. -HW- For mer State Sen. John J. Wick er has been bucking the White House and the state of Massa chusetts for four years to get the Christmas present he gave today to residents of Virginia. The Richmond attorney, beaming proudly from behind lied vest and horn - rimmed glasses, finally got (he word from presidential aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr. that his one man war had been won. "This is the finest Christ mas present of all," said Wick er, displaying a letter from Schlesinger admitting that, indeed, Virginia's Berkeley plantation was the scene of America's first Thanksgiving It was an admision nothing short of heresy by Massachu setts standards. Virginians point to histor ical documents to hack up their case that the first Thanksgiving in America was observed on the shores of the James river, about US miles from here, more than a year before the pilgrims reached the new world. Wicker, clad In the cos tume of a Virginia cavalier, even visited Massachusetts Gov. John A. Volpe last year and tried to convert him to the fact that 38 Virginians celebrated Thanksgiving in 1619. But Volpe resisted with New England stubbornness. When President Kennedy issued his 1062 Thanksgiving proclamation crediting the pilgrims of Plymouth, Mass., with celebrating the first Thanksgiving in 1621, Wick er decided that was the last straw. "Your presidential procla mation erroneously credits Massachusetts with America's first Thanksgiving." Wicker wired the President. "Virgin ia's claim was officially rec ognized by President Abra ham Lincoln nearly a cen tury ago. Stolen Car Case Is Solved by Telephone The Jackson county sher iff's office solved a crime by telephone Sunday. Deputies received a call that a car reported stolen ear lier from Mrs. Dolly Milne, route 3, box 553, Everett, Wash., was at Rogue River. A deputy was dispatched and he recovered the car and ar rested Richard Dix McCall, Everett, Wash. McCall is be ing held In the county Jail on larceny charges. As a matter of fairness, please Issue an appropriate correction," he fold the Presi dent. Unconquerable Bias Schlesinger's letter assured Wicker he was "quite right; and I can only plead an un conquerable New England bias on the part nt the White House staff ... 1 can assure you that the error will not be repeated In the future." Wicker, with a "that-settlcs-that" expression, had his tele gram and Schlesinger's letter neatly framed and presented the documents to Gov. Alber ts S. Harrison. ! Ton nave rendered a very valuable service to the Com monwealth of Virginia," Har rison told the ex-legislator. TAX WORK MADE EASY Rent or leasa Adding Machine Typewriter Calculator VOIGHT'S 8th i.

Each arUrle Is a summary of a family dlsatreement presented to the Council. The Council deals with problems, major and minor, encountered by guidance counselors and social workers. Edited by by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by flen?r-.l Features Corp.) Mrs. J, W What does a clergyman know about mar riage troubles? . Mrs. O, L. Mine is better than a psychiatrist. He helped us. Mrs. J. W. Should a minister think he can take the place of a psychiatrist? How can he possibly be quali fied? My husband and I are drift ing further and further apart. We married in our teens and now, six years and two babies later, we feel like strangers to each other. He doesn't re ally know me as a person and as for him, all I knew or cared about was that he was president of the senior class in high school and only had eyes for me. I never dated anyone else. Now we feel trapped. In discussing this with our clergyman, I mentioned the fact that Jack and I have dis continued marital relations. I thought he'd recommend a doctor. Instead he asked me to send Jack to talk to him. That sounds like a waste of time. But my friends say this is common practice. Mrs. O. L. I'm a friend of Mrs. W. and her family. She's just behind the times if she thinks clergymen stick in their parsonages and never venture forth into the world. Our minister works with de linquent boys and ex-prisoners. You can tell him any thing. Nothing shocks him. And he hands out good advice which sets you on the best path right sway. Mrs. W. would waste lots of time with o psychiatrist. Her pastor should he able to help her from the very first interview. It not, I'll arrange for her to see my minister. We had a terrible family problem. Our college daugh ter came home with wild ideas about free love and why jt isn't sin. She threatened to disappear if we blocked her plans. But after two talks with the Rev. H., she realized that she couldn't go through with an affair. She had just wanted to shock us. The Council: Mrs. L. is wrong to think that a clergy man ran replace a psychia trist. But Mrs. W. is wrong to think he can't treat and ea?e family problems with au thority. There's a definite area for each of these special ists. It might be advisable to find nut, Mrs. W., whether your minister is one who has received the special training in pastoral counseling." now offered umirr the joint aus pices nf theological seminar ies and the psychiatry depart ments of modicaM colleges. And Lesson Number One for would-be pastoral coun selors is to recognize cases which require medical and psychiatric treatment. Just as a eanrrr may be worsened by treating it as an allergy, so a neurosis or psychosis may trow worse by regarding it as a matter of attitude. Mis. L.'s pastor may really have helped her wayward daughter. If not. her rebel liousness may show itself soon in another harmful way. There's your answer, Mrs. W. Many clergymen these riavs are qualified to deal with family problems more qualified, in fact, than here tofore Union Theological sem inary in New York, for exam ple, hay sponsored a program in psychiatry and religion untr 1(156 to introduce min isters in liie understanding of human behavior afforded by contemporary psychody pamit ' And a good thing It Is, too. Surveys reveal that when a person is at the "end of his rope," when he doesn't know "where to turn," he usually tries to obtain professional, help, and that nearly half of those who sought professional help last year in the USA went first to a clergyman. Two Abandoned Babies Found Ridgewood, N. J. - (llPfl -They were wrapped in swad dling clothes. One lay in a basket near a highway; the other in a shopping bag in a car.- They had some things in common. Each was a girl. Each was less lhan a day old. Each had been abandoned. Patrolman George Leonard was on routine patrol early Sunday when he saw a picnic basket on the side of a busy road. Inside was a tiny girl. She was wrapped in a bathrobe and the basket was covered with a tweed coat. Leonard rushed the Infant to Valley Hospital here. Doc tors said she was about two hours old when found. Twelve hours later, and 15 miles south, postal worker William Goodwin heard a baby's cry as he passed a car owned by fellow worker Al Terry parked near the post office in Monlclair On the car's front seat he saw a shopping bag. Inside, wrapped in a table cloth and towels, was a blue-eyed girl. Police took her to SI. Vin cent's hospital where doctors estimated the 6 pound, 3 ounce baby was about eight hours old. Both infants were reported "doing well" today in hospital incubators. IS TIME RUNNING (vl M OUT FOR AMERICA?
