OvERTONES

Men like Eaatland OF Mississip-
nj are provoking an unpleasant
odor AT time when the American
atmosphere most needs freshen-
ing. Senselcss attacks on the
courage Of Negro soldiers, fol-
lowed by baseless charges OF
mass rape committed by Sene-
galese soldiers on German wo-
men in Stuttgart are not the
work OF an intelligent statesman
rhey resemble more the rant
mgs Of other hatemongers who
were entirely unknown until their
invective against the Negro
perpetraied ny ficndish white
Americans on one defenselcss Ne
gro woman. or by black French
men IN Germany.
But Senator Easlland convent
entity ignores the fact that down
through the ages invading ar
mics have ENGAGED in rapc. and
he things that happened in
Stuttgart merely followed The
pattern set ny white soldiers
down through The ages. and in
many parts ~ the world. And
the fact tina, lend lease had fur
nished The uniforms worn by the
Senegalese was NOT even logical

Dear Miss Robinson:
Postwar divorce should be

Clara Gordon of Albany.
n. Y, should be praised
rather than b a m d for
making her answer con-
ditional and inconclusive. Yet
no one can deny that she
makes her point clear.
"Dear Miss Robinson:
Merely refusing her a di-
vorce would not hold silly OF
mcrccnaTy wife 10 her marriage
vows. A woman who is so silly
that she cannot appreciate the
solemnity and value Of her mar
riage, or so merccnary that She
would marry a man for an al
lutment check. is not likely 10
b. changed by a judges refusal
t. grant her a divorce.
II say not likely because peo-
plr can change. and sometimes
the realization of a responsible
ity towards a mate can effect
that change.
Therefore, I believe there
should be no divorces granted
until a trial period has elapsed.
Even a merCcnary woman could
learn to love a man and even
10 make him happy Both she
and the man should have a
chance TO find happiness before
taking 50 drastic a step as dI-
NUrCe.
However. if after a sincere
attempt has been made, the
couple cannot create life to-
gcther. the divorce should be
granted. There is certainly
nothing 10 be gained by living
together i'm the vain hope OF
puniShing the woman because
the man will also be pcnalized.
And although his judgment may
have been hasty and faulty, Ne
cannot be Judged harshly ior
having been too cmotlonauy up
