Problem Child, 1956 Talking It Over By JANE JEWELL Capitol Report Johnson Is Liked By Dixieland COAXED! iVfT feO if pjrf wi Spain Will Lose Another Chunk Of Her Big Colony STILL ANOTHER EUROPEAN POWER has given up colonial possession. This ii Spain, which has announced her readiness to abandon her protectorate in Spanish Morocco. She has been led to this decision by the fact that the Fretch are turning over thrir portion of Morocco to the inhabitant to rule as 1hey please. This freedom on one side of the boundary is sure to cause unrest on the other. The Spanish government years ago failed to put down an insurrection in Spanish Morocco, having eventually to call on the French to help.

With France celling out of Morocco altogether, this possibility is ended. The abandonment of Morocco marks one more stage in the dismemberment of the once great Spanish empire. At its height it comprised Holland and Belgium, the Philippines, Mexico and Central America, and all South America except Brazil, which belonged to Portugal, and British, French and Dutch Guiana. From 1580 to IMS Portugal and her overseas possessions were part of the Spanish empire. First the Spanish American states revolted early in the 19th century.

The United Stales gave a further push in Die War of 1898, which cost Spain Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Now her area is diminished still further. Perhaps this reduction of outside territory may lead the Spanish to set (heir house in order. It needs it, Young Job Seeker DEAR JANE JEWELL: Our son will be 16 years old this summer and wants to take a job. He has been offered work by a man we know but it would involve being with some rather rough-talking people part of the time.

I don't feel it is good for him to he around that kind of talk for he may pick up some ideas that are wrong. However his father says it will be good pay. experience he needs and if he can't be with the wrong influence part of the time without becoming bad then our teaching hasn't amounted to much. What do you think, Miss Jewell? Teen-ager's Parents. DEAR TEENAr.ERS PARENTS: I'm in- rlined to agree with your husband if the work doesn't involve being with that kind of lalk all the time.

If he were to hear it all the lime I think it might influence him hut if it's just occasionally and is part of the way certain of the workmen talk I doubt if you'd see any dif-, ference in your son. One has to remember that wherever young people work they will meet with (he wrong kind of talk some. They must learn to say "NO" when approached to do something they know is wrong. They must have in their hearts a sort of code by which they live, and while it may be true they are still easily influenced at Ifi, still your training must have made him reliable, strong in his convictions and able to say "Yes" or else your training has been pretty weak someplace along the line. Often teenagers are more slrongly influ-enced by seeing the wrong type of action firsthand and being a witness to what sort of person and behavior is very undesirable than all the talking one can do.

It may be seeing something in action speaks louder than words, Children Object DEAR JANE JEWELL: We are a middle-wged couple who plan to be married in the near future. One of us has children who object to our marriage because they think hey may be cut out of some of their' inheritance. It is our belief that we are too youns: to promise any given amount to our children when we slill have some years to live, God willing. What can we say lo make them realize we love them just as much as ever but that we have a right to some companionship the same as the young? Any help you can give us will be very deeply appreciated. Love is something not just reserved for voting people, don't you agree? After Forties.

DEAR AFTER FORTIES: I once heard a man say that his second marriage, made when he was past 40, was the best thing that ever happened to him. He remarked that both of them had learned to give and take and to value the little joys in life, to think of the other's wishes and happiness. I hope your children will use common sense and hold their thoughtless words in check for your life is by no means over and you should certainly be able to marry if you've found a good partner. Tell them they will still receive whatever is left when you are gone, (he same as formerly, but that you will use it as vou need it and see fit until that time. I think they'll realize their folly and be kinder about it after they think it over and adjust to the new idea.

Don't worry over it; just be happy! J.J. World Today Electoral College To Continue By JAMES MARLOW Amiocinted Press Newt Analyst WASHINGTON W) For 159 years-ever since 1797-Congres has talked about amending the Constitution to change the Electoral College system of choosing president and vice president. The Senate, debating it again, Is wading in muddy water. Demo-crats and Republicans are divided among themselves. Neither friends nor foes of the amendment being considered can positively predict its ultimate effect if it becama law.

Because delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 didn't trust the wisdom of the average voter in choosing a president and vice president, they put this method into the Constitution; Each state would choose distinguished citizens equal in number to a state's total number of sen-; ators and representatives in Congressto select a president and vice president. These citizens were called electors. The framers of the Constitution didn't foresee the rise of the big political parties which use the electoral system this way: Each party in each state pick? a slate of electors. When a party's candidate wins the popular vote in a state, all that party's electors vote for its candidate although, under the Constitution, they could vote for whom they pleased. A state's electoral votes all go to the candidate winning a plurality of the popular vote.

For example: in a state with 43 electoral votes candidate Smith gets 500,000 popular votes and candidate Jones gets 499,000. By that 1,000 vote margin candidate Smith gets all 45 electoral votes while the 499,000 people who voted for Jones count for nothing. This has long been criticized as a weak spot in the electoral system. Why not a constitutional amendment to let a president and vice president be chosen directly by popular vote? It is not being seriously considered now. It seems to have little chance.

The Constitution can't be, amended unless in addition to two thirds 5f the Senate and House 36 of the 48 states approve. The three-part main proposal for amending the Constitution npwr being considered in the Senate would retain the electoral system but work this way, with some of the arguments being offered against it: No. 1. No candidate Would auto-' matically get all of a state's electoral votes. Each candidate would get a portion of a state's electoral votes in proportion to his popular vote.

Argument against: Big states whose popular vote might be TheeUaji India's Cold Shoulder ALL REPORTS FROM INDIA COMMENTED on the frigid reception given to Sec-retary of State John Foster Dulles on his arrival there. There wer no parades, no sclvml children with garlands of flowers. New Delhi newspapers called him an unwanted guest. Mr, Dulles is not infallible. Nor is there any rule that he is supposed to be greeted as a long lost relative wherever he stops on hit trips.

Yet it may be wondered why the Sec. retary and the United States should be viewed so coldly by country which maintains that it is completely neutral. As the representative of the United States' Mr. Dulles is entitled to courteous treatment. He received that officially from Prime Minister Nehru.

But the attitude of the people generally was definitely not that of a neutral greeting one of its friends. The Russians have made an all-out bid to win Indian favor. Yet they have not done nearly so much, nor have they done it with so little hope of gain, as has the United States. We do not want gratitudethat i poor basil on which to conduct international relations. But wt do have a right to expect to be judged fairly.

New Hampshire Voters Tell GOP Men That Nixon Is O.K.; Thousands Write His Name most primaries and they cannot mention of this idea shows the de-be delegates to a party conven- moralizing influence of They will have their oppor- ganship which is the only platform tunity in the general election to stipon which amateurs can operate, vote for or against anybody, but it The New Hampshire primary proves that the nonpartisans or bi- partisins have not yet taken over the Republican Party. By FI LTO.V LEWIS JR. WASI IINGTON The avidity with which many conservative Democrats are expressing their approval of Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas as a possible presidential nominee is indicative of the plight of the South in its search for a place to light politically. Southern Democratic leaders frankly are in a quandary, caught between the fires of the ultra-liberalism of Northerners who control their own party nationally and the Eisenhower administration's open espousal of racial integration.

So far, there is relatively little talk emanating from the South the possibility of a states' rights third party movement this fall, but it should not be ruled out. Southern leaders wistfully think it could be avoided by nomination ot a middle-of-the-roader and deft healer of political sores such as Johnson. But signs already point to a growing likelihood that the party's August national convention in Chicago will be split asunder by a bitter civil rights battle, as it was in 1948 when a third party was hastily set up and carried four Southern states for its nominee, then-Governor and now-Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Such a battle is presaged, for example, by the alacrity with which Northern Democrats attacked the "manifesto" presented by 100 Southern legislators pledging themselves to use "all lawful means" to overturn the Supreme Court decision outlawing racial segregation in public schools. Significantly, neither Johnson nor his fellow Texan, House Speaker Sam Rayburn, was among the signers of that manifesto. Both have been toiling diligently, since the Republican victory of 1952, to bury the intra-party differences over civil rights; their efforts contributed substantially to.

keeping the issue submerged until its recent re-emergence in full-blown fighting form. One result of the "manifesto," and the stiffening of Southern anti-integration feeling which resulted in its issuance, is to demonstrate to the satisfaction of most observers that the South will not go along with a "liberal" presidential nominee strongly committed to quick integration, such as New York's Gov, Averell Harriman or Tennessee's Sen. Estes Kefauver. Another result may be to nudge Adlai Stevenson off his pedestal of "moderation" by making It clear that his fence-straddling posture is likely to cost him support in both conserv ative and liberal ranks. Too many Southerners harbor well-founded suspicions that his moderation is strictly a pose, and liberals are beginning to believe he Is carrying the pose too far for the welfare of their own pet left-wing programs.

Present indications are that if the Stevenson Kefauver Harriman triangle should result in a convention impasse, Johnson quite conceivably might wind up as a compromise nominee; but the noticeable paucity of Northern climbers on his bandwagon shows conclusively that liberal Democrats would turn to him only as a compromise dark-horse. Aside from promising a "prompt decision" if Texas Democrats want him to be their "favorite son," Johnson himself is emulating Old Man River; he don't say notbin', he jes' keeps rollin' along. Close associates, however, assert unequivocally that he never would agree to becoming a "Southern" candidate for the presidential nomination. If the present regional boomlet should develop during coming months into a truly national movement, that would be something else again; but thus far there are no signs of such a development, Rayburn's obvious intention in proposing him for the favorite son role was to try to prevent an open convention fight between the antipathetic liberal and conservative blocs within the state's own Democratic Party; if it appears that there will be any open opposi-ton, Johnson is expected to wash his hands of the move. Still only 47, Johnson in three years as Senate Democratic leader has achieved a widespread reputation as an efficient and effective backstage negotiator; his biggest asset probably is his knack of persuading all sides ot compromise.

If convention lightning should strike, it, would mean a novel campaign; like Mr. Eisenhower, he is a recovered cardiac case and his campaign, too, would be of the TV-radio "fireside chat" 1 variety. By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY The Nixon write-in vote in the New Hampshire primaries established two facts: 1. The Republican Party still exists as a political organism dependent upon grass-root decisions; 2.

That Republicans regard Nixon as a Republican and not as a political eunuch. This may sound complex but I pont it up because it is not usual for more than 22.000 persons in a state like New Hampshire to have wTitten anybody's name on the ballot unless the word had gone forth that tills was a test of party strength. Democrats, New Dealers, ADAers and similar persins may oppose this or that Republican in speeches, in newspaper articles and in whispering campaigns, but they cannot vote in is not the right of outsiders to determine what a party should do. The attempt, on the part of some politicians to denature the Republican Party by making it include everybody, even those opposed to the party, violates the two-party system which is of the essence of American politics. It is like the suggestion I heard the other day that if the Republicans cannot get a Republican other than Richard Nixon, they might try a Democrat, likev Senator Clinton Anderson.

I do not take that seriously, as I am sure a responsible man, such as Senator Anderson is, would not take such proposition seriously. But even the Neighborly Notations By LAI RETTA THOMPSON SNACK TIME: Since tlte coming of TV, snack-time has become such a difinite part of the American way of living that it now appears the only way we could stop it would be to quit making food. wonder what would happen to food consumption in the U. S. if snack-time were cut out? FANCY 'Bl'RGERS: Hamburger isn't news but a different way to prepare it Is.

To serve four use 1 pound hamburger, make into eight thin patties. Place a pattie on a piece of aluminum foil, salt and pepper lo taste, add a thin slice of onion and, a slice of potato. Sa'it these and add a top of another pattie. Wrap in the foil, place on broiler pan three inches from flame, with heat turned to 350 or 400 degrees. Broil 10 to 15 minutes on one side, "turn, broil 15 minutes on other side.

Serve with chili sauce or relish. Failure In North Korea THE RECENT PURGE OF HIGH-LEVEL officials in the North Korean puppet regime indicates that administration of that territory has been a failure. Reconstruction achievements, highly touted by the propaganda "machine, actually are meager if not nonexistent. The purge extended beyond the government to the North Korean Labor Party, generally recognized as the real ruling faction and to smaller fringe organizations. Among the victims apparently are the Vice Premier, the Chief of the Coal Industry Bureau and the Minister of Home Affairs.

Western observers place two Interpretations on this shake-up. First it is believed that several members of the Soviet-Korean faction Have been promoted at the expense of Chinese-trained cadres. This would indicate a decline of Chinese influence. Some, however, believe the purge simply reflects dissatisfaction with progress made in food production and Indus-trial reconstruction. Whatever the reasons, It is always Interesting to note that the Soviets do experience some failures, though theirs seem to make fewer headlines than ours do.

Pursuit' ot Happiness Robin's Early Note Defies Snow; Heralds Spring Near Another factor that must be nottd in the New Hampshire primaries is that the partisan write-in vote for Nixon was a direct repudiation of the President's assistant, Sherman Adams, who was once governor of that state and who' is a political opponent of Senator Styles Bridges who is a firm supporter of Richard Nixon. Adams does not openly oppose Nixon because he never does anything openly, but in conservative Republican circles, where he has long been regarded as the devil in the Eisenhower inner group, he has been suspected of cooking up the anti-Nixon dumping scheme. It is altogether possible mat this an incorrect assumption and that Sherman Adams has had nothing to do with this stupid attempt to do to Nixon what Roosevelt did to Henry Wallace. But goes to show how Republicans feel that whenever anything goes wrong, they attribute rt to Sherman Adams. At any rate, in New Hampshire that was a factor in the situation and the voters up there en- joyei! showing Sherm that so far as they were concerned he could get no support in his home state.

The Nixon write-in vote was a great victory for Senator Styles Brulges. i The Nixon situation basically involves the existence of the Repub- lican Party as a political organ that flows from the grass-roots up to iht leadership or wbether it is a vote-gathering mechanism that Is rigidly controlled by the technicians in the White House. As there can traditionally be nd oppo- sition to President Eisenhower who must be supported for a second term, ordinarily this would be a dull year for partisans who would have to take Eisenhower and Nixon for granted. It was not believed that the President would dump Nixon because of their close relations, but when the President had his heart attack, the. schemers got busy, on the assumption that whoever had a heart attack must sooner or later die.

It is also true even without a heart attack, it is possible to die in office, but there is a better chance if one has suffered rrom this kind of ailment. So the interested parties began to scheme for the vice presidency. pretty evenly divided and thus have their electoral vote divided would lose the importance and value of their big states, particulary those where one party dominates, would gain and might control an election. No. 2, Instead of doing it the proportional way, a state legislature could decide to let the voters choose electors the way they pick members of Congress: two electors would be chosen for the whole state (as senators are) and the rest would be elected by congressional districts.

Argument against: Rural areas have too much influence now both in state legislatures and the way congressional districts are set in proportion to their' numbers. This would give them even more influence in picking a president. No. 3. If no party got 50 per cent of the electoral vole, the House and Senate jointly would pick the President and vice Argument against: This not only would delay the choice of a president but could turn the presidency into a football in a game of politi-' cal deals to get a majority vote in Congress.

'The vulgarity, the indecency of gambung on the possibilities of another person's death, particularly be close associates, was beyond belief but it happened and in New Hampshire the schemers were kicked in the pants as they deserved to be. Even many who are not enthusiastic about Nixon resent the viciousness of the attacks on him. And mat, one hopes, settles that. BANDANA BIB: Timeliest tip from a magazine: Tie a bandana around your small fry's neck in place of a bib. He'll think he's a cowboy, buckaroo, and wild westerner and love it.

MEASURE RULE: Do you measure foods and soap or detergent or have you the "by habit? Grandma may have made excellent cake that way but if you want to be economical you'U use a plastic scoop to pleasure detergent or soap And a measuring cup for food. FOR YOUNGSTERS: Keeping the moppet at your house busy is a job sometimes. Give the child a few sheets of colored paper, some paste and blunt-end scissors. A seed catalog filled with the bright flowers and shrubs we all love will give him material from which to lashion some pretty pictures. These may be sent to playmates who are ill or to relatives.

Grandparents especially will enjoy being re membered by these little gifts. BOXES HELP TOO: A cardboard carton will serve as a house, too, for the little girls to furnish. They may cut rugs, curtains, fur niture, people, etc. from catalogs and paste them the carton. A line drawn half way up will provide for an upstairs and a downstairs.

Overheard In the store: "She educated him to recognize such things as cereal and crackers in hamburgers for just what they are stuffin'." ures, destruction and death. These thoughts so fired my brain that I quit chopping to allow them free draft. Suddenly I noticed that the snow had stopped and I stepped outside to look around. The sky was clearing but a wintry blast made me shiver. Then, as if blown over the hill by the force of the wind, a robin swooped down across the yard.

My heart skipped a beat as I heard the soft whirr of his wings a thrilling sound quite unlike any other. He alighted on the feeding station beside the woodshed and with a saucy chirp turned his head this way and that as if he recognized the old home place and was glad to be back. There is an honest note in a. robin's chirp that builds confidence. My wintry mood disappeared like magic and my heart warmed to thoughts of sunshine and tender growing plants.

I called Ann to see our surprise visitor and she came running, her hands filled with tasty bits of food for him. Later in the season our yard will be overrun with robins and they will have to fend for themselves. Bat nothing is too good for the first robin of spring. The ripple of his wings is like an answer to prayer. Your Country Cousins, Rex 'n Ann Capping A Climax IN RECENT YEARS, THE FELLOW WHO wore a dress cap anywhere except maybe on a golf course was generally looked upon as being a bit odd.

This attitude has been a bruise on the spirit of those who cling to the idea that cap is a rather snappy article. It is now possible to report that the cap 9s making a comeback. Not the wide 'cap of yore, the sort that always looked vaguely like a tam-o-shanter with a brim in front. Something called the Ivy League cap is now fashion. It is snug and neat; no drape at the sides, no overhang in the back.

The demand Is so brisk that factories are working overtime and many retired capmakers are back at work. All this will add a bit of dash to the sartorial scene. Many a man who has worn a hat these many years, for fear of being conspicuous, can now set his cap at a jaunty angle when he steps out. More than flowers will bloom this spring. By 1SABEIXE HOOVER Dear Folks: My neighbor Silas calls March the in-between month.

And I know what he means. March in the hill country is something like a gangling youth who has lost the charms of boyhood and not yet taken on a man's steadying responsibilities. It sometimes requires all the patience a country man can muster to put up with the vagaries of this unpredictable month. Discontented thoughts such as these churned in my mind yesterday morning as I split kindling in the woodshed. The day had dawned sparkling bright with a touch of spring in the air, and I planned for a little experimental digging in the garden or maybe a walk in the hills.

But before breakfast was over a bleak wind sprang up and spread a mist across the blue sky, so I chopped wood. As I stooped down to pick up another stick I glanced out the doorway. It was snowing! Now I like snow it is wonder- ful stuff. What would Christmas be without it? And what more thrilling sport for youngsters than a wild flight down a snow-covered hillside on bobsled or skis? Snow and evergreens blend in a winter scene to delight the eye, and a snug blanket of snow on the earth keeps it warm and rich for seed-ingi But quite frankly, there comes a time in March when everyone has had his fill of snow. This last flurry seemed too much.

Unreasonably annoyed, I turned back to my wood splitting with more vigor than was necessary. I thought of blithe songs in praise of spring, probably written by poets sitting comfortably before an open fire and letting their imagination run wild. Spring too long delayed can be cruel, dealing out crop fail- Specialty Chickens Prove Best Sellers CHAMPAIGN, "111.

Koon Holler Reporter HIKINO Dear Editor: 1 One of the great joys of living is to be able to get away from the hum drum of city living and go tramping over the hills and valleys.

Walking seems to be one of the lost arts. No body walks any more. Blame that on Henry Ford who put America on wheels. When this madness of our freak winter leaves which it surely must and before long try taking a hike over one of the hundreds of trails that surround Newark. I would suggest that you go down to Hanover.

Of course you can drive that far. Park your car and start walking up the canyon toward Black Hand Rock Tunnel. I do not know of a more interesting place in Ohio to go hiking and I have belonged to many hiking clubs in various places in the state. First you will notice a bit of the U. S.

Government folly in wasting tax money in an effort to destroy the last bit of wild natural beauty in this" section. However you will still find a lot of beauty there and many things of interest The remains of the dam on the Licking, the old tunnel, the beautiful water falls and the old tow path near the dam. There are winding trails and every foot has something to arrest your attention What a wonderful place to have an out door meal cooked on the solid rock tow path cut out of the great rock made famous by the large black hand which was destroyed when the canal was opened there. Try this just once and you will return home, hungry as two wolves tired as a mule, sleepy as an owl and you w-ill rest as you have never rested. Get away from the hard side walks and crowds and get out and have a walk with God.

Those trails lead to God's first temples. For the love of nature, Uncle Sam Stille.
