Hugh R. 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

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.

day night northeast of Svenska
Hocgarna in the Stockholm archipelago.

Congress Nears
End of Session
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Con
gress with only 10 weeks remain
ing in this session continued to
search today for a way to pull
itself out of its 10-month leth
argy. 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.
