Show EPSON IN WASHINGTON Footprints in the Sands of Springtime Martin Has Delicate Task of Heading FRB SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 19S6 PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) The Federal Reserve Board isn't too happy about the public dispute that has been stirred up over its latest increases in discount rates. These are the interest rates which Federal Reserve banks charge their memb erbanks for loans which they in turn lend out to commercial borrowers. Few people understand all the technical intricacies of these moves. The tendency is therefore to play it up as a personal policy feud between Federal Reserve Board Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr., and Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey. Actually, Martin and Humphrey are still speaking- to each other, daily and sometimes several times daily. They have mutual respect but an honest difference of opinion on what FRB policy should be on credit at this particular S time. Florida Stepping-- S tone for Stevenson cause this delegate strength to take flight. The fact is that since his surprise lickinp by Senator Kefauver in Minnesota, th former Illinois governor has not sustained such a defeat. To be sure, with the exception of his write-i- n triumph in Oregon, he has accomplished nothing startling at the polls. But he has avoided being hurt in a way which would cause his folowing among top party men to conclude that he doesn't have it in 1956. Florida's primary fell into that general pattern. It was a narrow win over Kefauver a mere 12,000 votes. But only candidates like Gov. Averell Harriman of New York would find much comfort in this modest showing. The latter is in position where he must seize every slight encour- Adlai Stevenson did in Florida was not impressive, but it was a victory. VOiat and he will be in a position of strength which other contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination may find it hard to chip away. From the outset of this campaign Stevenson has commanded a great deal of latent strength around the country. The only question has been whether he would suffer a series of primary defeats which would The Steel Negotiations For the sake of steelworkers themselves and all other Americans, we must hope that steel wage negotiations now in progress will produce a speedy and amicable settlement. The steel industry, unlike the jittery automobile business, is in tiptop shape. Production is at high level, capacity is at record heights, working conditions are If, however, Stevenson follows with a power triumph in California, the latent he has in many key delegations will most likely begin to shift toward him. A quick rundown of potential votes in these groups indicates they could bring Stevenson within hailing distance of the nomination. ferences. Management wants to pour millions more into further expansion of the industry, making more jobs and more steel for the country's economy. This money can come only partly from investors. Some must come from company earnings. The fact that earnings are healthy enough to permit such expansion seems to union chiefs proof of their own arguments that the industry can support substantial wage increases and other additional benefits. As always, compromise of these viewpoints will be necessary. It could be" long in coming. The most cheerful aspect of the situation is that neither side wants a strike. It would be a great misfortune both for the country and the steelworkers were that to occur in a year when economic forces are so delicately balanced between forward progress and backward moves. Then only a determined coalition of his adversaries and the various "favorite son" candidates could conceivably block him. He would have only the last mile to go, and they might keep him from traveling it. All' signs so far suggest, though, that such a combination is not now in the making. As for Kefauver, the Florida loss mayj be said to eliminate him in the technical sense. In the practical sense, most observers believe he has never had a serious prospect of gaining the nomination. With his Florida showing put on top of his loss to Gov. Robert Meyner's slate in New Jersey, Kefauver could hardly bring off a coup now even if he won a smashing victory in California. The decisive stage is at hand for the Democrats, and Stevenson seems in the best place to gain from the events that still -- lie ahead.

Martin is 50 but looks even younjrer. He still plays tennis hard. He is of medium build, bespectacled, mild mannered. At Yale he thought he wanted to be an archaeologist.

She goes on to explain that she is married to one and says, "I have to account for every penny I spend out of my household allowance whiles my husband spends whatever he wants to on whatever he wants. Believe me, it's no fun to never have a cent to call my own." Then why do you put up with it? Look your husband in the eye next time he asks for an accounting of your household money and say, "I spent the household money as wisely as I know how, but I have no intention of accounting for every penny of it." There's no sense in humoring a man until he becomes a tight-fiste- d tyrant just to keep peace in the family. And just because you have let him get away with demanding an accounting of every cent you spent in the past doesn't mean you can't stand up on your own two feet and say, "I've had enough of being treated like a halfwit. "I'm a partner in this marriage and as a partner I am perfectly capable of handling the household finances. "I am also entitled to spend some money on myself, which I Intend to do from now on." Things may not be pleasant for a few days. But if you stick by your guns you'll get a satisfactory financial arrangement. It's too bad you didn't start out right at the beginning of your marriage, for it is always easier to begin right than to make a change after years of doing things an unsatisfactory way.
