"That's very true," Prof. Winch agreed, "but lots of things have been going on for a long time about which we seem to be just finding out the facts." Winch, in the university's department of sociology, said he proposes to learn about love: "By actually working with couples. We will try to discover what their marriage expectations were and how they selected their mates on that basis. Then we will try to find their gratifications and frustrations." Prof. Winch also will seek to trace the inner needs of people for things like dependence from childhood on.

Mark Clark's own reluctance to ac cept a recess appointment, decided yesterday to withhold the general's appointment as first S. ambas sudor to the Vatican until congress reconvenes in January.

The President could have made a recess appointment aa he did in the case of Philip C. Jessup, thus allowing Jessup to serve as L. di legate to the United Nations as sembly meeting in Paris, beginning Nov. 6. Could Not Keep Status But Joseph Short, White House press secretary, said the Chief Executive had been advised that Clark, a four-star general, could not take the recess appointment and retain his military status.

While such waivers have been granted frequently in the past, Clark's nomination poses a special problem because of the religious controversy surrounding it.

The Allied F-84s, flying cover for a B-29 attack on a secret new Red air base at Namsi, about 35 miles southeast of the Manchu-rian border, broke up the attack by more than 150 red-nosed enemy planes, but it was a costly victory.

In a prepared statement, Tompkins said: "Many of the contributions thus far received in the 1952 campaign reflect increases of more than 20 per cent. I am particularly gratified with the few reports we have had from employe campaigns indicating a fine response to the 20 per cent increase and a generous membership in the 32 Plus club.

I have noted, however, with considerable concern that this not true In all cases; "I wish to urge agJn upon the givers of Nashville that, in order for the Chest campaign to be a success, an average increase of 20 per cent must be shown in all contributions made. This is due tothe tiibtitions made. This is due to the which i.s doing such a fine job among our men in the service. This represents 10 per cent of the increase. The other 10 per cent is represented in the contributions to local organizations whose expenses have been forced upward by inflation.

Most of these funds go for food for children in the school lunch program, for those placed in foster homes through the Chil dren's Service, and for other in our orphanages. These expenses are absolutely essential to these wonderful charities. It is necessary, therefore, to remind every solicitor and every contributor in the campaign that an average increase of 20 per cent must be made over last year contribution to the chest."
