Warlords' Widows Wander'Aimlessly Throughout Europe LONDON.--Hie widows, mistresb» es and daughters of Europe's top war criminals wander aimlessly today through the countries where once they were queens. Most of them have nothing left but their infamous names. A United Press survey of the continent showed that most of yesterday's fascist "royalty" have lost their homes, jewels, furs and servants they once enjoyed. Nor has time been kind to their charms and beauty. A notable exception is Sdda Ciano daughter of slain dictator Benito Mussolini and widow of executed Count Galeazzo Ciano. a-lot of money by peddling her hus- The resourceful Edda, who made band's memoirs, still lives in her accustomed high style, travels widely within Italy, and has many wealthy friends. Mtt. Pierre Laval, widow of the French collaborationist, is also well fixed financially. But she is ridden by hate for the France that ordered a firing squad to "murder" her husband, and obsessed by the dream that she may someday clear his name of the stain of war guilt. She lives surrounded by pictures of her husband, whether at home in her chateau at Chateldon or in the Paris apartment of her wealthy daughter-in-law. Countess Jose de Chambrun.

That's the advice of .a Northwestern university phychologist Said Associate Prat. Irwin A. "We think ot wot if and how we ate, but hawfc yon ever that If we lacked sack conhouses probably would burn because we failed la extinthe gal or a smouldering butt, bBIs probably wouldn't be paid, and we wouldn't even ask fcr a raise In pay because we weren't worried about the cost of Mvtag? Many things that should get tee would net be accomplished without constructive worry." The core of Professor Berg's anal- Jrii ot worry is that while it hintfars as, when carried to extremes, ft also helps us physically, mentally SSMI socially. Sincere worry, not last fretting and stewing, assists a person in achieving purposeful activity, he believes. "A better name for constructive Worry is 'concern,'" explsined Professor Berg. "It jerves as a safety valve. It is a sort of protection, an insurance policy that certain things will be done." < Emphasizing that worry is s norasal reaction which requires learnftsg and experience to control, the phychologist said: "We learn to *W0sry about other things and not about others. It's bad for a person not to worry at all--that is, to Insulate himself from problems--as H is to worry so much that that's fp he does."

The print, made in ink, was hod on a brief note written by Lincoln shortly before the end of fee Civil War. The note was bought hr the library from a New York autograph dealer. Jay Monaghan, state historian, feels sure the print is that of Lincoln. But there is no way to check It, since no one has a Lincoln fingerprint known to be authentic. The note was written in ink on a small piece of paper, about IH by 1 inches. It said: "Let this man be discharged. A Uaeain. Feb. 17, 1885."

Tinklepaugh made probably the shortest "acceptance" speech, on rec&rd. Tinklepaugh went to vote. Reijz Edwards, long-time friend, told him h« promised to vote for him for constable. Tinklepaugh said: "fine." Edwards did some quick campaigning. He lined up four votes for his friend. Tinklepaugh thought no more of the "joke." When the counting board finished its' work, it certified Tinklepaugh as constable on the basis of those four write-invotes. „ There were no candidates on the ticket for the no-fee-no-office And Tinglepaugh's four votes topped the field.

The siege of the modern Rip Van Winkle began at 7:19 a.m. and ended nearly an hour later. At 6 a.m. his mother, Mrs. Gussie Grossman served breakfast to her husband. William, 50, a soft drink dealer, and their elder son, Lawrence, 19. With the pair packed off to work, she caught a little more sleep and got up at 7. Then she called to Louis to get up for school. He mumbled something and she went out, did a little shopping, came back and found Louis' door locked and unopenable. She knocked. No answer. She banged on the door. She screamed. No answer. Neighbors began to come in. They too yelled and knocked. At length seventeen women were getting hysterical when two radio cars and a police emergency, squad, mustering 10 policemen, arrived. They were about, to break the door when Louis opened it. He was well, but yawning.
