A six man Cleveland 'Municipal Court jury ruled in favor of the Courts, whereupon the landlord earned the case to the State' Court of Appeals, where t,he original decision was upheld by a 2-1 majority. O n c e again the landlord ap pealed, this time to the Ohio Supreme Court. wher the lower court decision was reversed by a 4-.' majority. The Stat.1 Supreme Court now en tertains an application for rehearing which it may or may not grant. The final decision seems certain to come from the U.S Supreme Court, if it. ac cepts jurisdiction. That's where the case stands now. The legality of baby exclusion clauses, in other words, is still highly uncertain and so, too, art; America's tenants ind landlords. co wends through the law courts a caie invoking a clash between nor mal I v inconosiable rights- The right of a married couple to have a baby and the r-Mht of a landlord to stipulate the conditions under which his property shall be occupied by another.

A T lunch time she moped into i the women's room that opened ' off the laboratory. In the mirror ahov-u the lavatory she saw her ; face pal" and sallow looking from ; loss of sleep, with great dark cir cles under her eyes, and was so miserable she didn't care how she looked. Which was very bad in deed. Listlessly she aoplied a lit tle lipstick and turned away from the mirror. She wasn't hungry; she didn't want to eat. She knew if she went into the- cafeteria the smell of the food would only nauseate her. And she was too restless to stretch out oil t'ne couch arid rest. Suddenly she remembered a roll of pictures she had left at a cam era shop to be developed. They had probably been ready days be fore, but she had forgotten about them. She'd go by and get them. It woidd be something to do. The snapshots as she had ex pected were ready for her. Site looked at them on her way back to the laboratoiy the bus. ; There were several good pictures among them. One of herself smiling straight into the camera. And another of Russel. Elise looked at that one a long time. His fair hair brushed back from a straight meticulous part on one side of his head, his deep set thoughtful eyes, the thin lean planes of his face. She looked at it and sighed and wondered for the millionth time why she hadn't fallen in love with him instead of Red McFan. Rus sel was everything most women would want. She took the pictures back to the laboratory with her and tossed resentment at le ast had been real, an instinctive resentment because h had so easily upset the plan of her life. But what a thin disguise her constant quarreling with him i them into the drawer of her work had been for the wild love beating I tab'e and forgot about them, in her heart.
