Baseball wives fume when their

them take . healthy swing ut the

That's Lupe Velez's report after
the Mexican actress, as guest of q

Here was her report:
Baseball wives never speak to their
husbands at the park.
With q man on third and two out,
they calmly talk about clothes and
styles.
Two got tired; left in the NTH

They glow with pride when hubby
hits or makes shoestring catch, but
aren't demonstrative about 1t.
Only three could read an ofiicial

Youth Will Accept
Postwar CHALLENGE,
Mrs. Casey Declares
Australian Envoy ond
Wife to Leave Soon
For Middle East

Children will face a hard struggle
unafraid after the war. as their par
ents do now during the war, says
Mrs. Richard G. Casey, wife OF the
Australian Minister, who will leave
soon for the Near East to become
England's Minister Of State there.
Thinking Of her two children,
Jane, l3, and Dom, 10, whom she
must leave here until their safe re-
turn to Australia is assured, led
Mrs. Casey into a discussion OF the
outlook for youth in the years fol-
lowing the war.
1T is going to be a hard struggle
for the men and women of tomor-
row, an era of high taxes and sac
rifices," she said. but the children
of today will accept the challenge
courageously, I believe, and build
a better world in which character,
industry and intelligence will be the
only roads to- achievement"
Children are. tough, Mrs. Casey
said. They are adaptable and they
will come through all right If they
have any inherited sturdiness in
them, she added.
mo race will survive unless the
will to survive is implanted in the
children" she said.
Great things are accomplished by
the acts of a few spirited and de-
termined individuals In a crisis,
Mrs. Casey pointed out, adding I'VE
have all seen it in the case Of Gen.
Macarthur"
She believes her country, America
and the British Empire will pull
through because they have both the
will and the means ultimately to
win.
Admires Americans.
During her two years stay in
Washington, she has come to ap-
preciate and admire Americans, she
said.
To live dangerously is the spirit
Of Australia and America, she en-
phasized. That was the spirit of
American women who loaded guns
as their husbands fought of In
dians. If the pioneers had not
dared the unknown. there would be
no America, no Australia. she as
serted.
Asked what kind Of life she
thought children faced, she said:
They will not know a life Of
ease or luxury, and it will do them
good" Mrs. Casey answered. The
artificial things will 60. and all

Japs Promise 10 Free
India, Sir Girja SAYS

Japan has been most active in
promises Of freedom to India, but
whether they ARE believed by In
dams is another matter" asserted
Sir Girja Shankar Bajpai, India S
agent-general at an Embassy Day
luncheon yesterday at Hotel 24OO.
Stressing factors that unite India
in contrast to many diverse ele-
ments tending to disunity among
India's 4o0oo0,00O people, Sir Girja
said the English language with its
message Of freedom is transcending
tradition.
The so-called immutability of the
East is something of a fiction, he
emphasized.
During the luncheon a $500 De-
fense bond was presented to Mrs.

Red Cross. the funds accruing from
