WNU Feature. in WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WNU Correspondent WNU Washington Bureau lfli Eye St., N. W. Expect Little Immediate Change in Financial Policy " Ive watched Dana at parties so closely as not to have any fun myself." By KATHLEEN NORRIS is a very young BEVERLEY yet 20. Her hus-- 1 is 10 years older; he was the football hero 'of her small girl days; even more her idol when in his navy lieutenants uniform he went away to war. He came home covered with honors, ribbons and battle stars, and Beverley went straight into his arms. They were married just before her 19th birthday anniversary in a setting of June roses and white uniforms and crossed swords, and so far everything was perfect. But then came trouble and lots of it. MOTHER TO BLAME It may be a plain woman, it may be a much older woman, but tome woman always can get a man away from a suspicious, watchful, jealous wife. That is the warning sounded by Miss Norris in today's article, which combines advice to a frivolous young bride with an indictment against modern mothers. Terming todays mothers "spiritually and morally lazy," Miss Norris charges that they ignore the question of character building while taking pains with their childrens riding and dancing lessons, teeth, manners and frocks. Beverley, who admits she was spoiled and inexperienced when she became the bride of her football hero and glamorous naval officer, foresees the wreckage of her marriage because of her own insane jealousy. A wise mother, Miss Norris contends, could have built up Beverleys character to the point where she could have averted the impending catastrophe. Dana left the navy and went back to managing his fathers big department store, but it wasnt that. His father married a young thing of 20 and eventually there were three babies, thus deflecting from Beverley and Dana not only the family fortune but some of the spotlight, but it wasnt that. Beverley never had learned how to cook or manage a house and, as they couldnt get help at todays prices, a good deal of discomfort ensued, but it wasnt that. Ill admit I was spoiled and inwrites Beverley. experienced, But I am learning, and Dana is angelically patient.

Most of the bickering as to committee assignments and other problems attendant to the reorganization of congress under the new congressional reorganization act have been settled or at least bottled-u- p for the time being, with the new GOP leadership firmly in the saddle. And it would be nice to report that the spirit of the Christmas season has left congress with a feeling of peace on earth to men of good will. However, that would not be objective reporting. Whatever the reaction to the Presidents state of the union message, congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, can be sure that this message, unlike some previous ones, represents the Presidents own thinking. His proposals reflect his own viewpoints and they are not the ideas and ideals of the New Deal which President Truman inherited and with which he had to go along up d until the time the people cast this theory of government at the recent election. The new congressional reorganization act, if the GOP leadership follows the spirit and letter of the law, is providing some obstacles, apparently not foreseen by some of the newly elected or reelected congressmen, to the carrying out of their pet ideas.. For instance, Rep. John Taber, New York, is bent upon arbitrarily slashing some nine billion dollars from the federal budget. At the same time, Rep. Harold Knutson of Minnesota is determined to bring about a 20 per cent reduction in individual income taxes as well as corresponding cuts in corporation taxes and abolishment of the various excise taxes. over-hoar- How was Mary, queen of Scots, dressed when she went to the scaffold for execution? 5.
