Cargo Vessel
In Atlantic
British Freighter,
Crew Disappear
NEW YORK--(P)-The stormy
North Atlantic apparently has
claimed the British freighter Hope-
star and its crew of 37.
The coast guard said yesterday
it has. abandoned hope for the
5,267-tonr vessel, believed to have
foundered on the night of Nov.
14 while battling a severe Atlan-
tic gale 600 miles east of New
York.

THE SHIP was believed to have
turned iver and sunk rapidly, pre-
cluding an SOS, after being dam-
aged.
An intensive two-day plane
and ship search of the area
failed to reveal any sign of the
ship or its survivors.
Capt. W. R. Richards, chief of
staff of the Coast Guard Eastern
area, said:
"While an aerial search is still
being carried on we feel that there
is little possibility that any sur-
vivors are left alive."
THE SHIP, bound from New-
castle, England, to Philadelphia,
carrying only ballast, radioed Nov.
14 that she had suffered "heavy
weather damage" and expected to
reach Cape Henlopen, N.J., Nov.
17 for repairs. Her radio was si-
lent after that.
The Weather Bureau reported
heavy seas whipped up by winds
of 60-70 miles an hour plagued
the area the ship reported from.

ALAS, POOR GIRLS
English WomenOver30
Facing Spinsterhood
LONDON-(A)-The scientists who run the marriage society of
Great Britain have just gone over a waiting list of almost 6,000 per-
sons.
With a red pencil they crossed out the names of all women more
than 30 years old. They won't get a husband through the society and
the overwhelming probabilities are they will become old maids.
"IT MAY seem a brutal thing to have done," said Mayo Wingate,
the psychologist of the team of specialists that manage the marriage
society.
"But these women have no chance, so what's the use. This
is a scientific business."
For a time at least, the organization which mates human beings
scientifically has closed the door to the woman over 30. There are ex-
ceptions of course, and the over-30 girl may find a husband. But the
mathematical chances in Britain are so small that the busy society has
ceased trying.
IT IS AN appalling thought," said Wingate. "But there is the sit-
uation-and we are here to look the facts in the face."
The society, a non-profit organization with the highest pro-
fessional backing, has just finished a survey which indicates that
the proportion of persons in United Kingdom seriously wishing
to get married is 100 men to 114 women.
"Those 14 extra women are hard to handle, and t1iey present a
nsocial problem which is simply be-

Survey Shows Nation
Fears No Depression
American consumers expect a
continuation of good times in the
immediate future, according to a
recent study conducted by the
University Survey Research Cen-
ter.
The survey indicated that con-
sumers expect to make relatively
large expenditures for durable
goods.
** *
"THE RESULTS of this study
indicate that from the viewpoint
of the consumer, there is no danger
of an immediate depression,"
Prof. George Katona, program di-
rector of the Survey Research
Center, said.
In many cases, the study re-
ported that the intentions of
consumers to continue spending
was due to larger incomes and
an ability to pay today's high
prices.
During the study, 1,600 families
from all over the nation were con-
tacted and personally interviewed
in detailed hour-long sessions. The
families selected were chosen on
the basis of scientific sampling
methods.
THE RESULTS of this study
have been published in the No-
vember' issue of the Federal Re-
serve Bulletin.

ISA Weekend
International teamwork will
come into play when the title-
holding Turkish soccer team pits
its prowess against an interna-
tional all-star team at 2 p.m. Sat-
urday in South Ferry Field as
the opening event of a triple-fea-
ture weekend for foreign students.
This will be the Turks first con-
test since taking the title in the
International Student Associa-
tion soccer tournament.
THE TURKISH team triumphed
over the Chinese, Indian, Euro-
pean, and South American stu-
dent teams.
The all-star team, opposing
the Turks, will be composed of
two students each from France,
Holland, China, India, South
America, and one from the
United States.
Soccer competitions will yield
the international spotlight to the
second event-the Latin-inspired
Tropical Fiesta, a semi-formal
dance from 8 to 12 p.m. Saturday
in the Rackham Bldg. Tickets for
the dance, sponsored by the Inter-
national Students Association will
be $1 per couple.

yond us," said Wingate.
"WE CAN'T, of course, enter-
tain such frivolous solutions as
legalized polygamy, but it has been
proposed by some rather serious
thinkers."
The society is only indirectly
concerned with the problem of
excess women. Its principal
function is to make a-success of
the marriages it arranges on a
scientific basis.
To the calculating specialists of
the society love and romance are
charming incidental music which,
however, have little to do with in-
fluencing the success or failure of
a marriage.
THE SPECIALISTS like to see
love blooming, but only after a
psychologist, an anthropologist, a
surgeon and a hard-boiled man of
affairs who knows about econom-
ics and the housing shortage, have
decided those basic factors which
make a couple congenial, all point
to probable success.
The first is by unusually intel-
ligent couples, smart enough to
realize that love is not the only
controlling factor, who submit
to the scientific tests, and get
scientific advice.
The second approach is by per-
sons who have an impulse to mar-
ry but, unfortunately, no sweet-
heart. The scientists give medical
and intelligence tests, probe their
desires and lay bare their motive:
and mood.
A NUMBER of such persons whc
have approached the society in
the last two years got themselves.

tal hospitals.

which operates trains of his miniature railroad system. He built more than half the system from
inexpensive materials, working from blue prints supplied by railroads for duplicating their equip-

tunnels, over bridges and into a railway round house yard complete with turntable. Palmer can
control five or six trains running simultaneously.
