DEAR MARY HAWORTII: Does worry tend to lend meanness to one's thinking? I refuse to call my situation a problem, but writing it out may help me feel better. My husband is 70 and I am 38, married 12 years. Due to the age difference I have kept my labora tory job, which is work I like. John's health is good, although we worry about its getting less-good, rapidly. John has long maintained a flock of chickens as a soufce of income, but he won't need to next year, as some of his relatives now share the property. In fact they have taken over two-thirds of the burdenp. This should make me have love in my heart for all a round me; but I continually find myself squelching resentful feel ings towards others—resentment for which I have no excuse. I am matter of fact, generally taking each day's problems as they come, cheerfully. My friends would say these mean feelings are unlike me. I trust that pretending to be kind and patient will lead eventually to inherent kindness and patience in me. This is the policy 1 am trying to follow. I hope it is only worry that makes me have mean feelings; and that time will help me take the situation in hand. G.B. Frustrated, Tired Or Undernourished? DEAR G.B.: When a good dis position mysteriously turns sour, ordinarily it means that a com bination of fatiguing factors is at work, undermining the person's vigor, or subtracting from his zest for living. For example, a chain of events that imposes cumulative frustra tion on a person's hopes and de sires is a common cause of moody irritation or touchy nerves. And possibly your marriage has been a trial of this sort. Your concern about John's health (which echoes neurasthenic worry on his part, it seems), and the fact that he is old enough to be your father, but nonetheless a dependent type (leaning on family help)—all this suggests that partnership with him is neither an exuberant nor a comfortable experience. And it may be that in your secret heart, you are bleakly disappointed and dissatisfied in the alliance. In any case, you are trying to deny the actualities of your dis may, as if you hope thus to erase the disagreeable features of your life. Illustrative of this attitude, you say, "I refuse to call my sit uation a problem—-J' And later, "I trust that pretending to be kind and patient will lead eventually to inherent kindness and patience in me." The implication of this phil osophy is that you try to identify with a makebelieve state of grace, closing your eyes to reality, instead of dealing on level terms with facts and truth. Such escapism is a se vere strain on personality — more productive than curative of involun tary resentment. Symptoms Call For Check-Up Further evidence of escapist thinking appears in your wistful hope that "time will help take the situation in hAnd." Time changes nothing in life, except for the worse —unless the element of time is employed as a framework, within which human intelligence func tions forthrightly at its ordained task of consciously molding the stuff of experience into something nearer the heart's desire. However, the causes of nervous tension , aren't limited to personl ity alone. Bodily health plays a part too. Inadequate rest, improp er diet, vitamin hunger, thyroid imbalance, etc., singly or several ly, may be at the root of your sense of impatience with every body. Thus it seems advisable to consult a good diagnostician as a first step in getting your bearings; and some psychological guidance might be helpful later, in getting you attuned to reality. M.H.

Auditor Advises Wildlife Group On Handling Funds RALEIGH WV—The State Wild life Resources Commission was ad vised yesterday by State Auditor Henry Bridges to use more cau tion in handling its funds. Bridges said several irregulari ties showed up in an audit of the commission's records for the fiscal year ending June 30. These in cluded: 1. at least two game pro tectors were short in funds, 2. some protectors are depositing li cense fees in their personal bank accounts, and 3. travel allowances were issued so far in advance and in such large amounts they appear ed to be in the nature of loans. Funds of the Wildlife Commis tion come from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. The bulk of its income is handled by the commis sion's wildlife protectors. The com mission's net revenue for the 1950 51 fiscal year were $1,306,417.61. Bridges said a state audit showed two former wildlife protectors, Gordon Holler of Charlotte and William E. Woody of Grover, were short by approximately $8,400. The shortages were known before the auditors began their work and, Bridges said, a new system has been set up by the commission to Jacksonville DRIVE-IN THEATRE Today & Wednesday "DAKOTA" JOHN WAYNE WALTER BRENNAN We Have News for YOU We're just back from the big Beauty Show and we're brimful of ideas for the smoothest, smartest, sharpest hairdos you've ever seen!

The au ditor added that Holler showed a difference of S5.353.50 in his re port. He was killed in an auto mobile accident. Bridges said a claim has been filed with the ad ministrator of the Holler estate and an effort is being made to claim the bank balance of $3,652.61 in his name, "which we believe is state license money."

Takes Long Time, Lots Of Work To Smoke Reds By JAMES MAR LOW WASHINGTON UP)—Smoking out the Communist party has been a dreary job which will take a long time to finish. It was understood the job could not be speedy when Congress in the fall of 1950 passed, and then re passed over President Truman's veto, a law intended to crack down on Communist activities in many directions. This story deals with only one phase of it' forcing the Communist party to register as a Communist action outfit—meaning, a Moscow agent—and list its sources of in come. with the names of its leaders and members. Ever since April. 1951, the Jus tice Department has been present ing evidence to the five-member Subversive Activities Control Board, appointed by the President, to prove the Communist party is a Moscow agent. The board itself was appointee Oct. 23. 1950, one month after the law was passed. But the board couldn't start its hearings until th( following April for various reasons The Justice Department needed time to gather evidence, in the form of documents and witnesses and the Communists tried to wrecl the machinery by seeking court injunctions, which were denied. So far the government lawyers have offered a ton of documents and 19 witnesses and still have six more witnesses to bring before tlx board to show the party is working for Moscow. The government hopes to finish its case by May. Then it's the party's turn to produce evidence to refute the Justice Department It could use a year or two doing just that. But here in Washington it's thought the party, whose top lead ers are in jail or fugitives, may not require more than a couple of months to offer evidence in its own defense to the board. J Then the board will require more I time, months probably, to reach a ' decision. Ii the board agrees with the attorney general that the party is taking orders from Moscow and tells it to register, then— The party can appeal to the U. S. Court of Appeals to overturn the board. It' it loses there, the party can appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. All that will take many months. Assuming that the board rules I against the party, it's not expected that a decision from the Supreme Court can be expected before late in 1953, at the earliest.
