UP Writer Lists tfer Resolutions
B\* Gay Pauley
United Press Women's Editor NEW YORK — Why do w< make New Year's resolutions" “Because of our sense of g\- . . . our eagerness to expiate and improve ourselves,” says Dr. James F. Bender, a leading psy-
chologist.
Then why do we t/ieak them? “Well,” said Bender, “it's .because we are imperfect manifestations of God’s creation. We’ll never be perfect, but we keep o:i
trying.”
Bender, 53, an author, lecturer and consultant to business and industry, said the best way to make resolutions is not once a
year, but once a day.
“Take them like a dose of medicine, every morning on arising, or at bedtime,” he said. He believes most persons are completely sincere as they sit down at this time of the year to list their 10—“All of us are basically interested in bettering our-
selves."
But having followed the usual pattern for many years, and finding T still am one of those “imperfect manifestations,” I've launched a new system this year. My resolutions list hardly is for self-improvement, hut is g7iaranteed easy to keep. I resolve: To go ahead and run my charge accounts; let the stores worry, for a change. To quit offering seats to old ladies on buses and subways; if they’re able to travel, they’re able to stand. To quit being cheerful in the morning to bus drivers and elevator operators; a smile gets only grunt and scowl anyway. To stop trying to save money; Uncle Sam takes a big chunk and what’s left can’t go with you. To call the police eveiy time my apartment house neighbors

SHELBYVILLE — Four Indimapolis youths, who were on an alleged ‘‘mugging spree” when they shot and killed a Swayzee Army officer more than a year ago. Monday were given prison terms in a hearing before She.bj Circuit Judge Harold G. Barger Lt.

Drawing 2 to 21 year terms in the Indiana Reformatory on guilty pleas for manslaughter were Thmoas E. Smith, 19, brother of James; William D. Scott, 18. and James A. Giles, 17. Shelby County Prosecutor Robert Sheaffer said the youths were offered ‘‘lighter” sentences in return for a guilty plea cn recommendation of the Marion County prosecutor’s office. He said a trial would have been “lengthy and costly.” Sheaffer, who said the four were on "a mugging spree” at the time of the slaying, had said earlier he would ask for the death penalty.

A BALANCED BUDGET GETTSBURG, Pa. (UP)—The White House said today that President Eisenhower plans to submit to Congress a 1959 budget which will be higher than this year, but balanced and with “a
&Hght surplus.”
Will Celebrate 1958's Arrival Auld Lang Syne will ring out boisterously around the land this New Year’s Eve, with celebrants paying about the same price as last year to wake up with the same sized hangover. A survey indicates the cost of ringing in the new yeai on the town tonight will be little changed- expensive— and the freespending crowds also will be
the same—large
Prices range from $37.50 per at high class bistros in New York and Los Angeles with top name entertainers to the regular prices at the neighborhood bar featur-
ing color television.
Mingling with the din of merrymaking will be the peal of church bells calling the devout to church services, many of them
all-night watch services.
Another somber note was in-: jected by the National Safety Ccwncil. which warned as many as 130 persons will be killed in grinding traffic wrecks, with
drunken drivers heavily to the toll.
JOLIET, 111., (UP) — Twenty youths knocking at the door to a life of crime have had a glimpse of where it could lead them. The youths—ranging in age from 12 to 17 and all residents of nearby Aurora, 111.—toured the Joliet branch of the Illinois State Prison Monday. They were sentenced to the tour by Justice of the Peace William Wake in Aurora last Thursday. The unusual sentence followed a recent juvenile crime spree in Aurora and each of the 20 boys was named by authorities as having had a part in one or more of the crime—mostly burglaries. The youths were met at the prison gates by Warden Frank Hagen—a large man with a reputation as a penal expert. Ragen was grim-faced when he first addressed the boys by telling them to “keep orderly because we know how to handle tough g*uys here.” ‘‘Remember,” Ragen told the young group, “all the suckers are in there.” He pointed to the sprawling prison—“not out there —” he gestured to the streets of
Joliet.
But the boys appeared a hard-
ened bunch.
“We know how to handle tough
guys, too,” one of them said. The group was bunched together and the astonished warden couldn’t
discern who made the remark. Ragen escorted the group to
the prison laundry, the shoemaking shop, the maintenance room. They saw everything of note in the 11 buildings of the institution
—including the isolation ward. Ragen banged on one of the
cell doors in the isolation section.
“Come on out for a minute,”
I he said in a loud voice. “I want
! you to meet some people.” The door was unlocked and a
pasty-faced prisoner with a blanket draped over him like a shawl, appeared from the dark room. His eyes blinked at the
light.
“Go ahead and talk to him," Ragen told the youths. “How is it in there?” one of the older boys asked. “I’m always alone.” the man said. “It’s monotonous and dark.” He told the potential criminals he was doing time for armed rob-
ery.
They saw a convicted murderer in the next cell. Then Ragen continued the tour, explaining the prison work schedule on the way. One of the youths appeared surprised that prisoners had jobs to perform. “I didn't know they did so much work in jail,” he said.
Snow, sleet, rain, drizzle and fog cast a gloomy pall over Indiana today on the last day of 1957. Hoosiers may greet the New Year tonight amid snowfall and sharply dropping temperatures, and drive home from parties cn cy roads and streets. The snow blanket already was 1 to I'j inches deep in the area around the southern tip of Lake Michigan shortly after dawn, and forecasts called for an accumulation up to 2 to 4 inches deep by .onight in the northern third of .he state. The central portion may have snow up to 2 inches deep. Southward, it probably will not get cold enough for snow to stick. Highways were slippery and jlushy upstate as snow, sleet and reezing rain swept across the >xtreme north portion. Elsewhere, it was raining or drizzling, and there was fog in the Indianapolis, Terre Haute, South Bend and Fort Wayne areas. The weatherman issued i “preliminary warning” of haz ardous roads this evening and tonight in the Indianapolis area with freezing rain or sleet changing to snow while temperatures drop from a high of 42 to a low of 20. Southern Indiana was expected to have rain mixed with some snow this afternoon and tonight but there was no indication there would be any accumulation on the ground. The rain which fell over night was light but it pushed the precipitation totals higher than ever in the wettest calendar year in Hoosierland since the 19th Century. Terre Haute had .17 of an inch by 7 a. nr, Evansville .12, South Bend .09, Fort Wayne .04 and Lafayette .02. The mercury was due to hil highs from the low 30s to low 40s today before dropping to lows ranging from 12 to 18 nerth to 25 south tonight.
The old year fired a wintry parting shot at the nation’s mid section today, and weathermen warned of hazardous driving conditions over much f the central Plains and Midwest. Heavy snows ranging from two to six inches swept northwestern Missouri and eastern Kansas and Nebraska last night and early today. The snow spread eastward today into Iowa and north and central Illinois. One-half foot of snow was reported over Brule and North Platte, Neb., Monday night and all highways between North Platte and the Colorado state line were snow-packed and slip-
pery.
Forecasters warned holiday travelers that “hazardous” traffic conditions are expected today in most of the mid-Mississippi Valley, the lower Ohio Valley and the upper Great Lakes. Heavy snow was forecast today for Iowa, eastern Nebraska and Missouri. Snow, preceded by freezing rain or sleet, was expected in Illinois, northern Indiana and Lower Michigan. In addition, sleet was predicted for northern Ohio and snow or snow flurries in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Light snow fell in the northern Plains states, the upper Great Lakes and the mountains of New
England.
The cold air brought sub-zero i temperatures to much of North ; Dakota and Minnesota with International Falls, Minn., reporting an early morning low of 17 below zero, Bismarck and Minot. N. D. 16 below, and Dickinson, N. D., 8 below. Putnam Native Died On Monday Mrs. Howard White, a native of Putnam county, passed away at her home in Martinsville on

Khrushchev Going To Top In Russia Nikita S. Khrushchev is strengthening Communist Party domination of all Rusaan governmental. military and economic af-
fairs.
At the same time, Khrushchev is strengthening his own personal authority as first secretary of the party in control of its machinery. The operation has been in progress for several weeks. It has been marked by a number of transfers of government and party officials and by increased emphasis on the role of the Communist Party as the supreme power over all aspects of administration in the Soviet Union. The effect is to restore the situation which existed between the death of Josef Stalin in 1953 and Khrushchev’s sensational denunciation of Stalin in February,
1956.
It cannot be said that the Stalinera situation has been restored. Stalin made himself the sole authority in the government, the armed forces, economic affairs and the party itself. Khrushchev is making the central committee of the party and its ruling presidium the supreme authority. Of course, Khrushchev is at the head of the committee and the presidium. And it appears that his position is unchallenged. But there is no sign that he either wants to be or could be a dictator like Stalin.
