Kinsey Report Reveals Sex Lives Differ Vastly
The Kinsey findings show women stay sexually active longer than men, with female and male sexuality differing most in psychology. Key stats include one in four wives committing adultery and about half of women having sex before marriage, with peaks around age 27 to 28 for women and later teens for men. The study links aging patterns to marital tensions and calls for changes in sex laws and marriage guidance.

Many Bills To Be Crowded Out In 1953 Session
In the 1953 legislative race many minor bills will be crowded out as the final dash for the wire begins. The Senate will review the general appropriation bill after a favorable Finance Committee report that trimmed about 340 000 from the House version. The budget moves include a 48 000 boost to the Public Safety Department to 2 462 000 for two years correcting an oversight that would have reduced patrols. Health pollution control funding rises 10 000 annually and Education Commission on Alcoholism gains 6 000. The State Training School for Girls increases from 87 000 to the next level as debate continues.
