IT'S MONDAY and you undoubtedly have troubles of your own. Nevertheless, I'm hoping you will give a listen. Buster has the blues. For many weeks a suspicion has been crawling over the epidermis that the bridegroom is the most insignificant necessity at a wedding. A premium ham finds it hard not to chafe. * But when “semething borrowed and something blue” receives more attention than the r of the voice which adds another “I do” at a wedding ceremony, the nose has a tendency to try to get out of joint. How can women talk 30 minutes Abaut 3 gagter?

THE FIRST DAY friends-at-large learned of the O'BrienSovo . . . (see what I mean?) Sovola-O'Brien plans to join hands in matrimony, there was a fair amount of attention directed to me. Then the crash came. Remember the stock market dive in '20? Suddenly, and for reasons which remain dubious in my mind, I was the

fifth wheel. No one gave two hoots what would cover my

back. No one was interested in my going-away costume. No one even asked me whether the punch would be for women and children or for

men. LA J MY OWN MOTHER deserted me. On her three-day visit here not once did she ask what I thought about a certain detail. Oh, occasionally, Rosemary or my mother would say, “Don’t you think that will be nice.” Uh, huh. The thumbs have blisters from twiddling while talk was going on about the wedding dress, the hoop, the petticoat, the gloves with no fingers, bouquet in the hand. ne Te etrenl reasons it was decided to have a “simple” wedding. There ie no such thing as a le wedding for the bride. simple g ihe brie THE BLUE SUIT with the lonse button, which will be tightened before July 12, will be my outfit. The black shoes, which were half-soled and heeled the other day, will take me up the street to h. b+ pick out a shift with a good collar, Rosemary put out a directive that I'm not to appear in church that morning with a bowtie.

«] HOPE JENNY finds it in her heart to say something nice about the clothes,” her mother, Mrs. Ben Hecht, said nervously. She was waiting outside, as were all adults, to give the fashion show an all-kiddy flavor. Jenny, 8, who made her movie debut recently in a movie written by her father, was inside slipping orange slices from tall glasses of lemonade and chewing them fetly. bi “1 thought they were Tom Collins’ and I was tryin’ to keep the kids away,” said a perspiring publicity man. Finally the jury was cornered on a sofa, score cards and pencils in hand, and Tommy Grey, 5, a professional model, walked out in short grey pants and a blue checked corduroy jacket. He had confided earlier he wanted to be either a mounted policeman or a cowboy when he grew up, but he stood before the “all-girl panel with nonchalance. The decision came out four to one in favor of the suit. Lois Portnoy, 5, Lois Ann Johnson, 5, Cathy Klein, 8, and Judy Lewis, 12, wrote “yes” on their score cards, though the two youngest members spent some time working on the three letters. Jenny shook her long blond hair and

“WHAT KIND OF A CAKE are you going to have?’ has been asked by friends in my presence. You know who was asked. Close friends and my cousin and my mother asked about a wedding present. That's a practical way of doing things, I think. There are those who want to do something. Of course, being asked puts a person in a spot. I began to mumble when my cousin asked and he cut me short. He informed me he was asking Rosemary. In other words, although within earshot and buying the beer, I was to keep my trap shut, . * © »

THE WAY THIS thing stacks up, the groom is supposed to be around to do errands, carry packages, nod yes when he’s told, say no when he’s told, say thank you at the proper time or when a little elbow nudges his ribs.

After a day's work you report by phone or in person and give a detailed account of the tasks which were to be performed and get a new list, A married friend patted me on the shoulder yesterday and said, “All you're expected to do is be in church the day of the wedding.

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite Smith

Q-—Our jonquils and tulips bloomed last year profusely but this year they bore very few flowers. Is that caused by poor soil? If so, what should be done about it and when? Mrs. Seraph Ashjian, 2939 Park Ave. A—Since the condition is general, it is likely the soil.. But the time to do something about it is in the period directly after blooming. The fate of the bulb’s flowering next season has now been decided. Poor or good flowers (or no flowers), everything inside the bulbs is wrapped up now for better or worse. To improve their chances of good bloom the following year, you might take them up and reset them this fall if they are‘crowded or in too much shade. If not, fertilize them this fall with bone meal. Early next spring give them quick-acting chemical fertilizer (high phosphate, high potash type). There is a bulb fertilizer .on the market that's good. Ask your seedsman about it.’

INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY . . . No. 3— .

Taft-lke Rift Is Maj

By JOHN GUNTHER IT 1S NONSENSE to say that there are two political parties in the United States. There are 96—one on each side in each of the 48 states—which merge into two bro.d; national groups every four years when we elect a President.

To win on a national scale and put its aspirant in the White House a party has to cover as inclu-

sive an arc as possible. It must, in ef- JE § ; fect, become a coalition, and Mr. Gunther our quadrennial elections are in fact fought out between extremely loose temporary national coalitions. The chief cleavage inside the Republican coalitiuvn was for many vears between left and right- wings, We should not forget that the GOP, for more than a generation, contained some of the most aggressive left wingers on domestic issues that this country has ever produced—agrarian reformers like Norris of Nebraska, western radicals like Bob LaFollette, and. hell-raisers-at-large like Mr. Johnson of California.

FDR, in the early days of the New Deal, snaffled off Republican left wingers like Harold Ickes. Wendell Willkie, who became Republican nominee in 1940, had actually been a Democrat.

- ”n » ONE OF THE wisest nolitical observers I know said in Washington last week, “The Republican Party has never won a

presidential election since it lost its left wing.”

This basic cleavage still ex- _Simiae(0¢ Bol Som; aimirens cioummieh paste ANA RE hn ONE, be on SON RNR Ss

ists, though in modified form, and is of massive importance. Dewey and particularly Warren, for instance, are incontestably more liberal than traditional party stalwarts like Congressman Halleck of Indiana. Sen. Morse of Oregon is so liberal that* he has been called a New Dealer, whereas men like Sen. Jenner and Sen. Kem still seem to live in the Paleozoic era. One focus of conservative power within the party is, of course, that of the old guardists who have kept it together, tending its vital mechanisms, during the past 20 years of cruel vicissitudes—men like Joe Martin of Massachusetts. Another is that of the party hosses back home, not senators

or congressmen or even gover

nors, but the state chairmen or national committeemen who give out local patronage, like Mr. Summerfield in Michigan or the reactionary survivors of the Creager machine in Texas. » ” - ONE FOCUS of liberal power is sectional. Republicans in the Far West and mountain states, although they can certainly be conservative on occasion, are generally more dependent on government than those in the East. They need reclamation, irrigation, power projects, and the like, and only -the federal government can help them on a broad enough; permanent scale; hence they tend to favor a certain amount of government paternalism. .

By NORMAN D. FORD HIRTY MILLION automobiles are in use in America, So it is little wonder that this form of travel has become the basis of so many vacations. It is estimated that 60 million Americans will vacation by auto this year.

Roughly, there are two types of auto vacation: ONE—The touring type, in which you drive from one point of interest to the next, usually on a circular route which brings you home again after a week or two of steady driving. TWO—The static type, in which you drive directly to your destination, stay there for your holiday, then drive home again.

Since the static type of vacation ean be applied to almost any kind of travel by car—even to a business trip—this chapter will concentrate on the touring type of vacation.

FOUR principal points should be considered when arranging your trip: How much will it cost? How long will it take? How far can I go? Where“can I go and what can I do? A fifth point bearing on each “When

to be able to choose the time of your vacation, you may be able to avoid the summer tourist crowds and take advantage of spring or fall offseason rates like those offered in a number of summer- resort areas.

You can't do much about cutting costs of operating your car. You'll find that the average light car costs around two cents a mile for gas, oil and lubrication; a medium weight car two and onehalf cents and a heavy car three cents.

Incidentally, I drove a midget car from Yellowstone Park to Taxco, Mexico and back in 1950 for a total of $107 for th® 5800-mile, 14-day drive. It included three meals a day for myself and my wife and zix nights in hotels .in Mexico en route. We camped while in the higher priced U. 8. Our total 21-day vacation tour of Mexico cost only $155 incltding the $107 for transpor-tation-and $8 for tourist cards and a vaccination. We saw all the major sights, went to a bullfight, etc., for the same amount which the above budget would take a family of four, in a medium weight car, only 1500 miles.

others think such lively fireworks are a good thing.

~ reasons, many eastern Republicans are prevailingly liberal-— consider such senators as Sen. Lodge, Sen, Saltonstall, and the estimable Margaret Chase Smith, who is sometimes mentioned as a possible vice-preg; dential nominee. By and large, the eastern liberals are internationalists, in strict contrast to those of the West, who have traditionally been implacable isolationists. Hence, eastern liberals

McCarthyism is another line of cleavage. Several eastern Republicans do not like the Senator and his methods, and have not hesitated to say so. Another cleavage is historic that between isolationists and internationalists. This is” undergoing change, if only because nobody can afford to be an outright isolationist any more; even Sen, Taft denies now that he is an “isolationist,” though he has one of the most piercingly isolationist records ever known to man. The issue has become confused. For ‘instance most Taftites, who want to cut aid to Europe and retreat under an umbrella of American air power, sometimes appear ‘aggressive,. on the other hand, in regard to Far Eastern affairs. They seem to magnify the Communist peril in: Asia but play it down in Europe. They are pas-

10 Points in Judging a Motel

Check these features before you decide to stay at a motel (or hotel). Don’t hesitate to walk out if you don’t get them for a reasonable price. ONE: Is the motel far enough back from the highway so the traffic doesn’t keep you awake? A TWO: Is the structure bright, clean, and attractive? THREE: Is the front office neat and tidy? FOUR: Is the hot water supply really hot? (Run it.) FIVE: Is there a comfortable chair in the room? SIX: Are the toilet bowl and seat clean? « SEVEN: Are the sheets fresh and the blankets clean? EIGHT: How many towels are there? Have the drinking glasses been cleaned. ; NINE: Examine the interior walls, if any, between your unit and the next; every word can be heard through

thin partition walls.

TEN: Are there enough lamps for easy reading, a convenient outlet for an electric razor? (Take along a couple of 100 to 150 watt bulbs for temporary replacement of the miserly bulbs often provided; take along a screw-in receptable and a long electric cord for convenience in using your electric razor where other outlets

are missing.)

Never stop at a place without adequate, easily opened doors, windows, or other fire exits. Do not stay at a tourist home where a network of frayed electric cords spread out in all directions from an

overworked socket.

Perhaps the only worthwhile economy you can make is to

fill your tank just before or after crossing a state line where the difference in tax

makes a real saving. For instance, there iz a 91; cent tax in Louisianasagainst a 4; cent tax in Texas, A 2%

actual firing of an atomic shell from ‘a battleship presents no more technical difficulties than the firing of one from an Army cannon. ‘ The Army's atomic shell is a little larger in diameter than 11 inches. The big guns of a battleship fire a shell 16 inches in diameter. This actually made the design of an atomic shell for the Nayy easier than the Army's job. The size of the Army's shell was limited by ordnance facA shell much bigger than 11 inches would have required a cannon so large and heavy it couldn't have been easily transported.

Wyoming and Utah are oases of low tax gasoline en route West. Texas seems to have the low-

miles-per hour along ordinary highways, @ » » on WITH 16-INCH guns already mounted on battleships, it's possible that, the Navy didn't even have to design a basically new shell casing. Based on the smaller size of the Army's shell, it is obvious that the Navy ordnance people would have little difficulty #tting the nuclear charge into a shell with a much larger diameter. It is also believed likely that the Navy's atomic shell can be fired from the battleship with no modifications to the turret or to the gun ftself. Navy experts see many uses for the new shell.

Two hundred miles is a very easy and extremely comfortable distance to drive in one day. It gives you a 1000-mile radius and 2000 miles of driving for a 10-day vacation. To ascertain how far you can
