"NONE so GOOD" SAYS
MRS. CARL STOWE

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. -
Mrs. Carl Stowe finally got around
to writing to Faultless Starch.
Here is what she says:
"I've intended to write for
a long time, but just kept put
ting it off. just wanted to
say I have used Faultless q
long time. have tried other
starches but none so good as
Faultless. 1t is more econom-
ical and does not blow out Of
the clothes. Then they iron 50
much easier. I sure am sold
on Faultless and I just want
ed to tell you So"
That is wonderful letter, isn't
1t. Mrs. Stowe has tried other
starches and she says none SO
good as Faultless."
DOES NOT BLOW OUT
One thing she says in her letter
may be very interesting to you.
She says that Faultless Starch
does not blow out. Now you prob
ably have had the experience Of
getting your wash all done,
starched and on the line-only to
find when you 60 to iron that the
wind has whipped all the starch
out! And you have to starch all
over again-put them on the line
and iron day late!
Now, you don't HAVE to 70
through that not if you use
Faultless Starch!
You see, Faultless Starch is
made special way so that the
starch penetrates into the fabric.
1t doesn't just stick to the outside.
AS result, the wind doesn't blow
it out-and a freeze won't freeze
it out!
Think what a lot of time and
work that one thing can save you
some busy week!
But that isn't the only wonder
full thing about Faultless Starch!
1t takes only minute to make per-
feet hot starch-WITHOUT COOK
ING! And, it contains ironing
aids that keep the iron from stick

SO easy to do smooth, beautiful
ironing.
So try Faultless Starch, and
you'll never 60 back to the old,
hard-work way of starching.-Adv.

Homeless Millions Roaming
On Restless Roads of Europe
By Jane Eads

Among the displaced are 5000 to
10000 children, many born out of
wedlock, many orphaned. A large num-
ber were born in alien lands.
But the children present no great
problem. There are more opportunities
for children than there are children,
authorities say-and there is dearth
of children in Europe.
France has offered to care for 1000
youngsters Switzerland will take 1000,
and Brazil, 500 Both England and
Sweden have indicated they will "adopt"
several hundred.
The permanently displaced present
the biggest problem. 1t is two-fold
problem-rehabilitati and resettle-
ment.
The latter requires international
agreements between countries and an
expression of willingness on the part
of countries to accept the refugees. The
desires of the refugees also are to be
considered.
Victory found the transportation
facilities of Europe greatly disrupted.
This is one of the biggest factors COM
plicating the repatriation of those look
ing homeward.
Scarcity of food is another problem.
In some cases migration, instead Of be-
ing expedited, has had to be retarded.
If great numbers of refugees move
Overwhelmingly and too fast into cer-
tain countries where food Is scarce. the
shortage may become famine.
UNRRA Helps in Work.
For many months the United Ma
tions Relief and Rehabilitation Admin
istration (UNRRA). working closely
with the supreme headquarters OF the
Allied Expeditionary Force lSHAEF)
and some of the governments, had been
planning to assist with the repatriation
of the uprooted as soon as requested by
the military and the governments In

The greatest mass migration in his
tory-12,oo0,0 900 to 100000 uprooted
peoples loose on Europe's restless
roads now. The uprooted are going
home.
Hope for peaceful life again-in a
place they knew--is what leads these,
the dispossessed, the disillusioned, the
old, the sick, the empty handed and
starving, the bewildered people of
Europe.
They are prisoners of war; refugees
from war-ravaged and Nazi-terrorized
areas; deportees expelled for political,
racial or religious reasons.
There are Jews among them millions
of Jews who survived the years of
persecution before and since the out
break of the war and were forced into
exile, or into concentration camps and

But the majority of the moving mill
lions are the wartime slave laborers in
Germany-French, Russians, Belgians.
Norwegians, Poles. Ten million Allied
nationals, not counting the prisoners of
war. were in Germany when it fell.
100000 Repatriated.
Approximately 100000 of the dis
placed already have been repatriated by
Allied military authorities. These were
chiefly French. Belgians, Dutch. Luxem-
bourgers, with some Russians.
Those who want to go home and those
about whom there is no question Of na--
tionalisy are the easiest to repatriate.
The authorities expect to have most of
these home by the end of the summer.
More difficult to resettle are those
without Identification. family, or home.
Then there are the istateless, about
100000 of them. They include the

turn to their former country.
They also include all the stateless of

Blasted by bombs from the air and
shattered by shells from warships
steaming in close to her shores at will,
Japan took a terrific lacing last week,
one which has shaken the morale of
the people by the admission of their
own radio at Tokyo. Vital war in
dustries on the home island of Honshu
and even the defenses at the entrance
to Tokyo Bay were blasted in a spec
tacular display of Allied power and
demonstration of Japanese weakness.
In Washington Vice Admiral Mistcher
expressed the opinion that absence of
Japanese air resistance is due to the
exhaustion of Japanese gasoline sup
plies.
Over at Potsdam, where the Big
Truman announced American policy as
contemplating only world peace, that
this country has no desire to acquire
new territory, statement which
brought an immediate Senate reaction
when a number of Senators expressed
the hope that Mr.. Truman was ex-
cepting, Of course, the strategic islands
in the Pacific held vital to our future
defense.
Highlights of the week were:
Sunday: Admiral Halsey's mighty

on Muroran, important industrial port
on Hokkaido, leaving steel mills and
other facilities piles of rubble amid
which great fires burn wildly. Half a

Yet nobody denies that there were
contacts between the British and Vichy

One of the most mysterious figures in
Vichy was the charge d'affaires of

the most interest Is that of Mrs. Emily
Taft Douglas. Democrat, Representative
at large, whose 1914 majority was 19l,-
235 in total vote of 3,882,657
Melvin Price, Democrat, of the 22d
Illinois district, opposite st. Louis, had
majority of 1855 last year and Re-
publicans think they have a chance of
unseating him.
OF the 435 House seats, Democratic
and Republican spokesmen agree that
between 80 and 100 will be the principal
backgrounds which will decide whether
the House is to remain Democratic or
swing Republican. All are in the 50
Northern and border States.
To win a bare majority the Repub-
licans would need only % additional
seats: working majority, however,
would require IS to 40 more seats. The
latter is definitely in the realm of
possibility.
COP May Gain in Senate.
Republicans are not so confident about
winning Senate control. where bare
majority would require 10 additional
Republicans. They think they have
their best chances in Pennsylvania,
where Joseph Guffey will seek re-elec-
ton; in New York, where James M.
Mead may run for the Senate or the
governorship; in Massachusetts,, where
the incumbent is David I. Walsh; in
Rhode Island against Peter G. Gerry,
in Montana against Burton K. Wheeler,
in Delaware against James M. Tunnel,
in Washington against Hugh B. Mitchell
and in Missouri against Briggs.
Democrats think they have a chance
of defeating Hiram johnson In Califor-
mia, Henrik Shipstead in Minnesota,
Raymond E. Willis in Ohio and Robert
M. La Toilette, Progressive, in Wiscon-
sin.
The odds are on the Democrats losing
several Senate seats in 1946 and picking
up three to five in 1948.
For the immediate 1916 job, Republican
headquarters are prepared to spend
about 100000 this year and million
next year; the Democratic budget calls
for about S5O0,0o0 this year and million
or whatever is needed" in 1916. Both
headquarters are in the black with sew
eral hundred thousand dollars each in
the bank and expect little difficulty in
raising funds. Both national headquar-
tiers are planning to coordinate the
work and finances Of their Congressional
and Senatorial Campaign Committees.
War Length Puzzles.
The big question puzzling both party
strategists is: win the japanese war be
ended by November next year? One
school of political thought holds that
another wartime election would help
the Democrats. Another school believes
that the electorate would be anti
administration if the war and wartime
controls are still with us over is months
from now. You takes your choice.
The present Democratic congressional
campaign slogan is: "Quick victory, a
lasting peace, full employment" The
Republicans, as indicated by recent
speech of Chairman Brownell, intended
to emphasize the voters discomforts
over food and other rationing and
alegcu 1oFeruiucns WdolSs uiionuaLdSC-
ment and bureaucracy. The Republic
cans are counting on war WEAKNESS and
the IA years of Democratic administra-
ton.
Republicans used to think they could
beat any Democrat except Roosevelt.

dent Truman hasn't as much or more
influence over the rank and file voters.
