Other states which ett or permit segregation in public schools were asked to file “friend court”? briefs by Oct. 1 tell- work on integration. only state to hint at open was Georgia. Atty. Gen. Cook said he would refuse rt in the October hear- Gov. Herman Serene backing Cook, called the hearing invitation ‘to help select a knife heads off.” ie awaiting the October is whether integration should be ordered immediately or ly. of eg observers said it was most likely that the Supreme Court itself would issue detailed decrees toward integration could be or- dered forthwith to admit Negroes to any of its ls. Several m: of enforcing the segregation ban’ ‘were suggested yesterday by attorneys. Negro parents could go into low- er federal courts and sue for dam- ages from school officials who re- fuse to permit their children to . enter white schools. The Supreme Court could hold such school of- ficials in contempt. Or the officials might be subjected to criminal Prosecution for denial of civil rights, under the Federal Civil Rights Act. Liquor Ads WASHINGTON #)—The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union said today the liquor industry is “wil- using ... advertising to break down standards in the home and create juvenile delinquency.” WCTU’s views were set forth by its president, Mrs. Glenn G. Hays of Evanston, Ill., in testimony pre- pared for a House Commerce Committee hearing on legislation to ban interstate advertising of beer, wine and liquor in newspa- Pers and periodicals, on radio and television. This is an annual battle between wets and drys. In the past four * years, the drys have lost. Sponsor of the House measure was the late Rep. Joseph Bryson (D-SC), who, until his death more than a year ago, was a leading congressional advoeate of prohipi- tion. A similar bill, introduced by Sen. Langer (R-ND), is scheduled for hearings next month before the Senate Commerce Committee. Leading the fight against the bill were the Distilled Spirits Institute; Licensed Beverage Industries, Inc., and several labor groups. Also lined up to be heard were repre- sentatives of newspaper associa- tions, advertising agencies, mag- azines and radio and television broadcasters, Proponents of the legislation were headed by Methodist Bishop Wilbur E, Hammacker of Wash- ington and included spokesmen for | eucels groups as well as the Mrs. Hays urged the committee to “take drink promotion and its Psychology out of our homes.” “The home that is built around a bar in the basement,” she said, “is not exactly the same type of home’ as the one that is built around the family altar.” The strategy of opponents calls for seeking to have the bill amend- ed to include a ban on advertis- ing of cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco products and possibly on cosmetics, Kansas was named for the Kan- as Indian tribe.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN MANNING THE GUN—This lad took his turn at the anti-aircraft gun on the USS Darby Armed Forces Day. All the kids who visited the ship got to take a turn at wheeling the big gun around, Wednesday, May 19, 1954 Hal Boyle Says NEW YORK (#— Lately I’ve been running into a lot of sleepless wives. Can’t figure out the reason, but naturally this sleeplessness must be caused by husbands. When a man gets insomnia, he generally shoulders the fall respon- sibility for it himself. He figures he drank too much coffee, ate the wrong combination of foods, or else took his business or personal worries to bed with him. A wife approaches the problem from the opposite direction. “I can’t sleep,” she miuses. “Why? What has my husband been up to now?” Her only task then is to find something her husband has done wrong. As this isn’t very difficult for the average wife, she pins down his latest error, bawls him out roundly, and then is able again to sleep the slecp of the just. Sometimes a husband discovers his wife’s insomnia has been caused not by something be did— but something he didn’t do. “Why didn’t you stop me from eating that rich dessert last night?” she tells him. ‘You knew it wouldn’t agree with me. But there you sat like a complete dolt, and let me go right on eating it. Sometimes I don’t know what I’m going to do with you. I never slept a wink.” Every husband over the years gets thoroughly familiar with that wifely phrase—“I never slept a wink.” For some reason known only to women, however, you never hear a wife admit, “Well, I slept a wink last night.” There are several common types | of insomnia among wives, and per- WINNING FLOAT—The blimp squadron from the Naval Air Station, ZX-11, came up with the trophy for the best military float in the Armed Forces Day parade. The float was a replica of a big hangar with a miniature blimp emerging from it. The pretty girls were along to add a note of glamor—Photo by Karns.

Eaton and Francis Ste. TELEPHONE 2-7061 haps you have one of the following in your own home: 1. The empty stomach insom- niac—this plump lady awakens every hour on the hour, then raids the refrigerator, wolfs down half a chicken—and sleeps like a baby for another hour. Her real problem is that she hates to waste time sleeping when she could be eating. The best way to solve the situation is to move the refrigerator to her bedside, or else set her up a cot in the kitchen. 2. Thke choker—She wraps her arms around her husband’s neck, slowly throttling him. The last words he hears just before he blacks out unconscious are her moans, “Why can’t I sleep?” If you ¢heck this wife’s family tree, | 51 you will probably find that her great-great-grandmother was a boa constrictor. 3. The false insomniac — This wife snores like a den of roaring lions from midnight until 8 a.m., then looks accusingly over at her Poor, sleepless, red-eyed husband and says, “You simply have got to do something about your snor- ing. It kept me awake all night.” 4, The traveling insomniac—She wraps herself in a sheet and two blankets and prowls the house in search of sleep..She dozes in every bed and chair and winds up on the living room rug. But as soon as her husband goes to work, she lies down on a couch and sleeps like an angel all day. 5. The intermittent dreamer—“I just dreamed was walking bare- foot in my nightgown through a meadow full of $1,000 bills,” she says, shaking her husband awake. “What does that mean?” 6. The suspicious insomniac— She steels herself to stay awake all night hoping her husband will talk in his sleep and reveal the name of the blonde she is sure he is keeping on the sly. Y. The share-and-share alike in- somniac—“Don’t you dare go to sleep before I do,” she sternly warns her husband. “Marriage is a 50-50 business. If I can’t sleep, why should you?” What can a man do to cure his wife’s insomnia. Of course, he should smother her with sympathy and understanding. But the best thing he can do is earn more money for her. Nothing relaxes a woman better—or puts her in more of a restful mood—than spending a lot of money. The worst thing a husband can do is to tell his wife, “why don’t you do a little more work? The Teason you can’t sleep is you are overtired from doing nothing so hard all day long.” That is a sure way for him to get insomnia himself. Hecklers Pester Gov.
