Dear Abby...
The Right Sense of Values
by Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: I'm burned up about that mother who signed herself WORRIED because her daughter was marrying a farm boy and she was afraid the farmers would ruin her wedding by showing up in overalls. I was raised on a farm and I wish I were back on one now.
Those shallow city folks with their cocktail parties don't know what living is until they've wrapped a new-born calf in a blanket in the wee small hours of the morning or looked out at daybreak to see a flock of baby chicks picking up feed. That woman ought to follow those overall-clad fellows around and learn to appreciate what they represent. Thanks, Abby, I feel better now.
GRACE
DEAR ABBY: I had to laugh at WORRIED'S letter. She was afraid because they were farmers that the groom's mother would come to the wedding in her callco dress and sunbonnet and the father would march in with his boots caked with manure. Then this stupid woman, pretending to be so sophisticated and fashionable, referred to a lady's evening gown as a "formal" and a man's dinner jacket as a "tux." I am surprised that the daughter of such ignorant and narrow-minded people had sense enough to pick a college-bred farm boy. Best wishes.
LAURA
DEAR ABBY: An old school chum moved very close to me and we decided to have our hubbies meet. The second time we got together she decided that she liked my husband better than she liked her own. My husband is flattered by the way she plays up to him and her husband is so dumb he doesn't know what's going on (or doesn't care). I don't mean to imply that there is anything serious between them, but I am afraid there could be. My husband says I am being foolish. She keeps calling me to get together. Should I discourage seeing them or do you think I am unnecessarily jealous? P.S. She sent him a very suggestive valentine.
BEING CAREFUL
DEAR BEING: If there is the slightest doubt in your mind about your school chum's intentions, avoid her. Better to use a fly swatter now than a cannon later.
DEAR ABBY: I want to entertain for a friend of mine who is getting married. There have been a lot of showers for her and some of the girls can't afford to go any more. Can you think of something that won't cost the guests very much, but will be a nice way to honer...
DEAR ABBY: I want to entertain for a friend of mine who is getting married. There have been a lot of showers for her and some of the girls can't afford to go any more. Can you think of something that won't cost the guests very much, but will be a nice way to honor a bride?
THINKING
DEAR THINKING: How about a RECIPE shower? It won't cost the guests anything and all brides welcome good recipes.
CONFIDENTIAL TO ELSIE: The way to a man's heart is through the holes in his head.

TV in Review
By WILLIAM EWALD
NEW YORK (UPI)—CBS-TV's Playhouse 90 bit off quite a chunk Thursday night, perhaps too big a chunk for a 90-minute drama. But I must say despite its dramatic flaws, "Judgment at Nuremberg" succeeded in clutching me hard for its full span.
It's strange that a play about the German war trials should strike me as courageous only 14 years after World War II, but this is a pretty topsy turvy world and the ball has taken some peculiar bounces. As "Judgment at Nuremberg" pointed out, I. G. Farben is now on our side and history, indeed, does run a curious course.
As for "Judgment at Nuremberg," Abby Mann's script dealt with the trial of four German jurists and within its frame it touched upon a question that must continue to haunt all contemporary men; the responsibility the individual must bear for the crimes of his community.
The stuff of the play was pretty uncompromising. Most of its would prefer to forget Buchenwald and Dachau, but Thursday night their horrors were etched out on some Army Signal Corps film of haunting power. There was also much talk, tough and unsettling, badly needed on that faucet of pan to touch upon too much territory—the problem of German rearmament, the problem of the unpopularity of the trials, the guilt the world must bear for Hitler, the tricky issue of unwitting guilt. As a result, "Judgment at Nuremberg" seemed patchy and not quite congealed.
The performances were four square with Claude Rains, Paul Lukas and Max Schell carrying the main burden. In a minor part, I liked Marketa Kimbrel.
I have one further note to make and it involves one of the most disturbing cases of commercial censorship I've ever encountered on TV. In the final scene, part of a Claude Rains speech which referred to Nazis "gas chambers" was blipped out. Why? Well, one of the sponsors of Playhouse 90 is the American Gas Association. Shame on everybody concerned.
NBC-TV's Laugh Line, which curtsied in Thursday night, is the sort of thing TV refers to as a hot weather show.
This usually means a show which isn't so hot, but this seems happily untrue of Laugh Line. It has a young, fresh panel in Elaine May, Mike Nichols, Dorothy Louden and Orson Reed.

Clark indicated that work on Mrs. V would start "during the coming year" and that the military space ship will take up where civilian space agency's Mercury Project for manned satellite leaves off.
Clark said that if Russia is first to put a man in space and safely return him the psychological impact will be tremendous.
"Such manned satellite flight could bring the Communist bloody control of space if the United States is not equally capable," the adventive.

Committee Okays Track Tax Bill
By JAMES C. ANDERSON
United Press International
SACRAMENTO (UP1)—Gov. E.L. Mund G. Brown’s bill to increase state taxes on racetracks by $127,400,000 a year was past its first hurdle in the Legislature today despite vigorous opposition.
Representatives of every race-track in the state plus horsemen, breeders and harness race operators and even a man who claimed to represent the $2 bettor testified against the bill.
But on a 10-6 vote, the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee Thursday approved the measure by Assemblyman Thomas J. MacBride (D-Sacramento).
The bill is part of Brown’s 256-million-dollar tax program.
The governor, in a recent speech at Santa Barbara, warned the public to keep a sharp eye on racing interests and on the beer and oil industries to “see if they are willing to bear their fair share of the tax program.”
Tracks’ Opposition Evident
Judging from the opposition at the committee hearing Thursday, the racetracks want no part of a tax boost.
The MacBride bill would increase the state’s share from betting from 13 per cent to 45 per cent. It also would take a bigger cut out of breakage, the odd penies left over because race bets are figured in units of 10 cents, and a larger cut when the parimutuel handle goes above 50 million dollars.
Revenue Cut Threatened
Wilson argued that any increase in the state’s take from tracks might cut down on the number of bettors and result in reduced revenue.
Other witnesses echoed his testimony.
Before the bill was passed by the committee, Assemblyman S.C. Masterson (D-Richmond) offered an amendment to kill a provision in the bill which would eliminate the funds now going to the wildlife preservation fund.
His amendment was defeated, 12-5, after Department of Finance officials said wildlife preservation projects still could be financed but would have to be approved by the Legislature in the budget.
Another Brown tax bill, one to increase inheritance taxes by four million dollars a year, also moved ahead in the low house. It was approved by the Laws and Means Committee and sent to the Assembly floor.
Canned Rocket Project Revealed

United Press International
VEGAS (UP1) — The Defense Department has started a huge project to develop piloted combat vehicles that can travel in outer space like fighter planes in the atmosphere. Improbable name given the manned rocket project is Mrs. V.
Aanned Rocket Project Revealed
By CHARLES CORDDRY

All space exploration to date has involved either satellites that are kept in orbit by balancing centrifugal force and gravity or so-called lunar probes which follow ballistic or bullet-like paths.
Mrs. V. however, will be a maneuverable space ship which pilots can use for what Clark called "strategic or tactical situations in space."
He said the Defense Department project was being timed to take maximum advantage from Project Mercury which is expected to put men in orbit in about two years.
House Committee Works on Jobless Pay Boost Plan
WASHINGTON (UPI) — After nine days of sharply-conflicting testimony, the House Ways & Means Committee goes behind closed doors today to start hammering out a plan to beef up the unemployment compensation program.
One proposed standby system would lengthen the duration of jobless pay in bad times. Under this plan, the federal government, would channel money to the states for longer benefits to the jobless whenever unemployment in the nation, a state or a local area climbed to a certain figure.
Organized labor wants a federal law requiring the states to increase the amount and duration of their unemployment payments. It seemed clear the committee would not go along with this.
There appeared to be some chance the group would approve an Eisenhower administration proposal that would extend the jobless insurance program to employers with one or more employees instead of the current four or

Other congressional news:
Housing: Democratic leaders said they expected the House Rules Committee eventually to release the temporarily side-tracked multi-billion-dollar housing bill. They said the rules group would have to unbottle the measure for floor action because it contains legislation everyone agrees must be enacted in addition to its public housing and other controversial spending proposals. The committee refused to clear the bill for floor action Thursday by a 6-6 tie vote.
ICA: The International Cooperation Administration awaited a Justice Department ruling on a house demand that it open up the personnel files of two former U.S. officials who were pressed to resign after they became interested in an alleged foreign aid scandal in Laos. The agency rejected the demand by Chairman Porter Hardy Jr. (D-Va.) of a House government operations subcommittee pending a Justice Department ruling.
Secrecy: A half-dozen editors and journalism educators gave their views on freedom of information and government secrecy to a House judiciary subcommittee.
