The ships don't cost so much to build, but my champagne bill is terrific!" Man Wishing Longer Life Best Get Himself A Wife By RAY CROMLEY WASHINGTON (NEA) - Young1 men ... old men . . . middle aged men! It pays to get married. At least in France and the Unit ed States, that is. Statisticians at the National Of fice of Vital Statistics have put together a lot of figures that pre sent a fairly convincing case. They've been corroborated by data from the French Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques. French figures show that a young married man of 36 can ex pect to live six ears longer than his unmarried or divorced cous in. The American figures show that an unmarried or divorced man of 35 to 44 has two-and-a-half times as great a chance of dying this year as does his married brother. Even an American unmarried 75-year-old has almost a 40 per cent greater chance of dying than if he were married. There are a lot of theories as to what this means. The Ameri cans have some pretty complicat ed and stodgy ones. The French, however, simply say of the mar ried man: ' : "He is less inclined to yield to all sorts of temntations. And it may be said, even the American statistics seem to bear out the French theory. ' It should be mentioned in pass ing, that married women live longer, too, than unmarried wom en, both in France and in the TTnilnri Statnc What then do these marriefl men and women get out of mar ried life? Here are the astound ing details. Stranae as it may seem, mar ried men apparently have fewer ulcers than unmarried men. At least fewer married men die of them. And fewer married men die of hypertension. Furthermore, few er widowers die of ulcers than men who have never been married. As for worpen; very few women have ulcers anyway, married or single, divorced or widowed. Single men have a greater chance of being murdered, or of dying of pneumonia, tuberculosis cancer and heart disease. Three times as many widowers commit suicide as their married friends. Until they reach 50, single men are more likely to die of hernia. After 50, there's no advantage in oeing married as lar as hernia is concerned. The way it looks from the fig ures, more married women than single drink themselves to death. With men. it s the other wav around. But before concluding that marriage is bad for a woman's nerves, note that the drinking-to-death rate goes up sharply for women who are widowed or di vorced. Except for divorced wom en over 75. More divorced men are anemic. Apparently at anv ase from in to 80, a single man has twice as real a chance of being killed in an automobile accident as a mar-! ried man. Widowers have an even harder time staying alfve in autos. Ana a divorced man of 75 has three times the chance of dying in a car as his married friends of the same age. for a woman, however, there are times when its safer for her to Be single when in an automo bileunder 20 and between 34 and TO. From then on it's safer for her to be a widow, as far as cars are concerned. By and large, married women apparently get statistically few er benefits than their married hus bands. There are, apparently some dis advantages to being married. Alore married women are murdered More die of diabetes and appendi citis. Married men have a worse time with goiter. - However, compared with mar ried women, almost two times as many widows die of heart disease, two to three times as many di vorcees die in auto accidents, four times as many widows are mur dered, four times as many divor cees commit suicide. Some women researchers have concluded it is better for men to get married and better for women to stav single. But if a woman does marry it is better for her not to become a widow. Hoffa Cancels Convention Planned To 'Get' Monitors WASHINOTON (AP) Team sters President James R. Hoffa is cancelling plans for a special union convention aimed at getting rid of court-appointed monitors. Hoffa announced the cancella tion Friday shortly after a federal judge postponed issuing an order that would arm the monitors with power to compel Hoffa too obey re form recommendations. This order, approved informally last Dec. 11 by U.S. uisinci juuge F. Dickenson Letts, also would bar Hoffa from calling a union conven tion until Letts said he could. In ranfpll mff the convention, which had been scheduled for March 16-18 in Chicago, Hoffa said the Teamsters constitution re quired delegates to be chosen 90 davs in advance. . "Because of pending litigation ic in tuhnthpr the Teamsters "can have such a convegtion or not this would maKe ine mmm wii........... impossible." Hoffa told a reporter. Thi was a reference to the court order, initiated by the moni tors, which Letts was to have signed Friday. The judge post poned the signing pending the out- nnmn nf artinn hpfnrP. the U.S. Court of Appeals aimed at letting the union convention go on as scheduled. The appeals court action was filed earlier this week by two New York Teamsters. Teamsters Atty.
