Now that he can no longer use Mother, he wants her to leave. Roger R. We're selling our home and traveling around. He has room. Hugh R. Our mother is in her 70s and since Dad's death 21 years ago, she has lived with Roger and his family. While she could act as maid, nurse, babysitter, they welcomed her. But now the children are grown. she's in the way. So they want to ship her to me, 1,000 miles away from all her friends and familiar haunts. He should set her up out there and we'll all visit her. Roger R. Here's a chance for Hugh's youngsters to get to know their grandmother and for her to enjoy a change of scenery and new experiences. I took Mother in when she had no place to go. Hugh had just been mar ried and played deaf and dumb on the subject of Mother. No domestic work was ever forced on her, as Hugh hints. We al ways had part-time help. What ever chores Mother performed, I'm sure she enjoyed them. The Council: Throughout this harangue one listens for one still small voice Mother's. What's her line? She probably feels like a bouncing ball in the game of Who'U Take Mother. As such she may well prefer to hide or go out of bounds, rather than belong to either side . . . Exactly what gives? Roger feels Mother is bored and needs a chang-of-venue. Hugh wants to keep Mother a "distant" rela tive, with his children knowing her as a picture on his desk and a nice lady to visit. The logical compromise is to set Mother up in a pleasant living arrangement outside both homes, in milieu of her choice. In view of her age and the tics developed in Roger s communi ty, we do not advise the drastic uprooting he suggests. To fill any void in her life, the local family agency can turn her into a "foster grandma" for families without a real one. Displaced grandmothers like this one are in great demand, say the experts. 'Little Rich Girl1 To Stay in Private School, Judge Says American Policies Claimed Puzzling WASHINGTON fUPI) - Mine. Ngo Nhu, South Viet Nam's con troversial First Lady, believes Americans are sympathetic to her but "puzzled like me" about U.S. policies towards her coun try. Mme. Nhu, on an unofficial tour of the United States, said the American people have heard only one side of the story about Viet Nam. "For once they hear something else, she said Sun day. She criticized thhe State De partment for suspending some U.S. economic aid to Viet Nam when "we are winning the war." She said she considered it proof that the United States was trying to stir up the Viet namese against the government headed by her brother-in-law, Ngo Dinh Diem. Mme. Nhu predicted that Viet Nam would repay all aid pro vided by the United States, and said that even now her country is looking for ways to reduce U.S. help. OLYMPIA, Wash. (UPI)-The thought of a 12-year-old heiress to more than $2.5 million going to public school is more than the conscience of Chief Justice Richard B. Ott of the Washing ton State Supreme Court can stand. Ott has refused to issue an order which would have cut off the $500-a-month allowance which Victoria Harrison Ivars son, who has been described as an international "poor little rich girl," draws from her inherit ance. Stuart G. Oles, a Seattle attor ney who is Victoria's court ap pointed guardian at law, told Ott that if the money was stop ped "the girl would have to leave school." Ott said, "I don't feel that we should deny Victoria the right to have as good an education as her station in life would de mand. My conscience wouldn't permit me to take this child out of school for the money in volved here." Victoria lives with her mother, Julie Ivarsson, and her adoptive father, Karl Ivarsson, in Zer- matt, Switzerland. But the girl's money is in a Seattle bank. Inherited From Father She inherited the estate from her father, Edward Harrison, who bled to death on a Seattle golf course shortly after Vic toria was born. Harrison, heir to part of the Weyerhaeuser timber fortune, died after a broken golf club pierced his body. Oles said that Victoria was currently attending St. George's English Language school in Montreux, Switzerland. Tuition is 1,000 Swiss francs and board and room costs another 250 francs, he said Oles explained that there are about four francs to the dollar. King County Superior Court Judge Lloyd Shorett authorized the $500 payment. Victoria's grandmother, Mrs. Jane Harri son of Auburn, Calif., appealed the ruling of the Supreme court. She contends that money from the estate is being used to sup port the Ivarsson family. Robert O. Wells, a Seattle at torney representing Mrs. Harri son, asked Ott for the order sus pending payments until after the appeal is decided by the high court. He said that if the court rules the allowance is not justified, the girl's estate would not be able to recover the support money unless payments are halted now. Wells claimed that the Ivars son family was using Virginia's money indirectly to invest in a hotel in Zermatt. Too Much Into Business Wells said that Ivarsson was plowing too much of the profits from his hotel back into the business. I child to school. Wells said "The parents have some obli- But Oles said that the lvars- gation not to invest so heavily son hotel "has lost money every in the business enterprise and to year to date." keep some money to send the He said the hotel might have broken even at least this winter but a typhoid epidemic virtually cleared all tourists out of Zer matt. "The Ivarssons just don't have any money, Oles said. the Supreme court ruled last year that the Ivarssons could not require Victoria's estate to support the family. The court then returned the case to Shorett. The lower court judge reduced the girl's allow ance from $750 a month to the present $500 figure.

Lawmakers, who normally ad journ by September, have been in session since January, and are beginning to wonder if they will have a vacation before the second session of the 83th Con gress starts. Rumors of "understanding" by which either taxes or civil rights would be postponed until 1964 have circulated for weeks. So far, all have been denied by Dartv leaders. The House now hopes to have its omnibus civil rights bill out of committee in about two weeks, and the Senate Finance Committee is proceeding with extended tax bill hearings. But predictions now are that neither measure will make it in the next ten weeks. With time out for Thanksgiving, Veterans Day and other events, the dwin dling session is viewed by many as holding too little time for final action on the tax bill. There also is some question whether civil rights legislation, even if the Senate gives it the go-ahead over taxes, could pass before the new year.
