ried twice already and unsuccess-
fully, now a widow, with small
children. l have to work hard
naturally to support them. Now
l am human and have a certain
longing for male companionship so
l started going with what thought
a single fellow who has a nice job
but to my dismay he is married.
He is nice in every way, consider
ate and kind to the children. His
society wife seemingly is only in
terested in clothes and going
places. He is rarely with her. l
find he loves me and l care too
much for him. l wouldn't think
of separation on his side so now
be frank and tell me what to do?
Ans: Encouraging a married
man is certainly not the thing to
do. 1t will only bring on more
grief and complications. As long
as this man lives with his wife,
regardless of his feelings for her,
you should not encourage him or
accept his attentions. You are still
comparatively young and should
seek a husband and a father for
your children, but a married man
is no likely prospect. When you
associate with a married man you
are decreasing your chances for
getting a mate. Your friend
knows this to be a fact and if he
is as fond of you as you think

William Shakespeare said it:
Heaven hath no rage like love
to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman
scorned."
Bob Hannegan, chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee, and Representative Bill
Dawson, his assistant, may not
know it but a revolt is brewing
among cOlOred Democratic
women.
1t started at the meeting of the
National Council of Negro Women
held here recently. Jeanette
Welch Brown announced her resig-
nation as executive secretary of
the council. She told the women
assembled that she is going to
study law and go into politics. She
even envisioned in time herself
occupying a seat in the House of
Representatives. So touching was
her speech of resignation some
women cried.
In accepting congratulations
upon her decision and best
wishes for achievement of her
goal, she told some women she
would be visiting their states and
organizing clubs. Putting two
and two together, these women
reasoned that the Democratic
National Committee had decided
to hire Jeanette as an organizer
to take the place once held by
Crystal Bird Fauset of Phila-
delphia. Immediately they be-
gan to meow!
Comparing her work with that
of other women who have been ac-
tive in the Democratic party, they
concluded:
l. Her work in the 1914 Presi-
dental campaign does not entitle
her to that particular job.
2. She is not the type of person
to have the job of organizing COL
ored women for the Democratic
party.
They offered as exhibits to
support their contentious Mary
Mcleod Bethune, president of
the National Council of Negro
Women; Thomasina Johnson,
head of the AKA Non-Partisan
Council, a lobby organization;
Olive Diggs, editor of the Chi
cagO Bee; Marjorie Joiner, head
of the Madam C. J. Walker Beau
ty College in Chicago; Edith
Sampson Clayton, a Chicago
lawyer, and Wilhelmina Adams,
a New Yorker.
Both Jeanette and Thomasina
worked in the New York headquar-
ters Of the Democratic party in the
last national campaign. But Thoma-
sina is a Democratic State COM
mitteewoman in Massachusetts.
Wilhelmina was a delegate to the
last Democratic national conven-
ton from New York and is CO.
leader of her district in Harlem.
All the other women exhibits have
worked their way up in Democratic
politics from precinct to ward, city,
county, state and national promi-
nence.

Cancer in Negro Women

far more often in women who have
had children than in those who have
not. Since the birth rate is higher
in Negroes than in whites, it is not
difficult to understand the greater
frequency of cancer Of the breast
in whites.
Cancer of the stomach, colon
and other organs, is less frequent
in women than is cancer of the
breast and womb. These two latter
than 1 per cent of white and
colored babies are delivered by
midwives. It is apparent, there
fore, that colored mothers in the
south receive less adequate care
at childbirth than do white mothers.
Lacerations of the womb, hence,
are more common and the basis for
the development of uterine cancer
is thus laid down.
Negro women suffer less from
cancer of the breast than do white
women. The prevalence rate for
this type of cancer is 80 per cent
higher in white women than in Ne
groes. Cancer of the breast occurs
most often, although not exclusive
ly, in women who have not had
children. This is quite contrary to
cancer of the womb which occurs
forms are among the most durable
types of cancer. Approximately
1870 of cases of cancer of the
breast could be cured if women
would consult a physician as soon
as any lump in the breast is noted,
and about 1870 of cases of cancer
of the womb could be cured if an

normal bleeding were made. Each
year, in the United States, approx
mately 10000 persons are cured of
cancer. Because approximately one
out of every nine colored women
above the age of 80 will eventually
develop some form of cancer, it is
of great concern to them to
familiarize themselves with the
early signs of this disease. Free
information centers have been
established by the American Can
Ger Society throughout the coun-
try. Those interested should write
to the American Cancer Society,
$50 Fifth Avenue, New York l,

Cancer of the uterus womb
occurs about twice as frequently
in colored women as in white
women. This is, in fact, the critical
point in our attack against cancer
in Negroes. Not only do twice as
many colored as white women have
cancer of the uterus, but this disease
attacks Negroes at an earlier age.
1t is a common occurrence in cancer
clinics to see young Negro women
in their twenties with advanced
cancer of the cervix Opening of
the womb).
This difference between the two
races, in the prevalence rate for
cancer of the uterus, is not believed
to be the result of any inherent or
biological dissimilarities. It is
believed rather that those condi-
tons which are predisposing to
cancer are more frequent among
Negro women. Most clinicians be-
heve that cancer of the cervix is
more likely to develop when tears
and infections resulting from child
birth are not properly cared for.
The Bureau of the Census re-
ported in 1899, from a cancer SIR
vey conducted in the south, that
midwives delivered about 20 per
cent of the births to colored mothers
in southern cities of 10000 or more
population. These 20 per cent of
deliveries by midwives to Negro
mothers may be compared with
about 3 per cent of deliveries by
midwives to white mothers in the
same area. In northern cities, less

mittee is doing. The latter or
ganizatiOn is not employing any
cOlOred person in a position of
responsibility. 1t is seeking to
WOO the cOlOred voter back into
the party through an indirect
approach, that is, through an ad-
visOry committee financed by one
individual.
Incidentally, while the National
Council of Negro Women was
meeting here, some delegates
wanted to know what is the pro-
gram of the council. That question
has not been satisfactorily an
swered.
From an independent source it
was learned that the council has
done some work in the field of
international and interraciaI re-
latiOns, it has done some work
with Latin-American women and
has established exchange con-
facts with women outside the
United States, and it has done
some work on employment.
The program has not been well
defined. But the council has paid
for a house valued at 100000
Otherwise its funds have been
limited and it's workers have been
volunteers chiefly.

Strike Vote Is Asked
For 81 Cafeterids in
Government BUILDINGS

A strike in 54 cafeterias located in
Government buildings was threat
ened today by the United Federal
Workers of America, CIO, as 1t petit
toned Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach TO conduct strike vote among
1900 union workers employed by
Government Services, Inc.
The union acted following break
down of wage dispute negotiations
with Government Services, a private
organization which operates the
cafeterias. UFW officials charge
that the company is refusing to bar
gain on any of the unions demands,
which include 30 per cent salary
boost.
A minimum of IS cents an hour
is sought by the union, Cafeteria
Local All. At present the average
take-home pay is "substandard'
SIG week, union officials assert.
Other union demands are time
half payment for all work
over 40 hours and overtime pay
for Sunday work and split shifts.
Thomas Richardson, vice presi-
dent of the United Federal Workers,
said the union will make every effort
to reach an agreement with the
company through collective bargain
ing channels and that strike action
will be taken only as last resort"
Oficials of the company contend
that wage increases cannot be
granted unless the OPA grants it
some price relief. A complete state
ment of the company's position on
the matter was to be released later
today.

Hooded Jap Informer
|Decreed 400 Deaths,
Yamashita Court Told
BY the Associated Press.

bS inc Associated freSS.
b MANILA, Nov. 15.-Four hundred
residents of the towns of Polo and
Obando in Bulacan Province, just
north of Manila, were selected for
death at the hands of japanese by
mysterious, hooded informer
called THE Magic Eye" a witness
testified at the war crimes trial of
1t. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita to-
day.
Mrs. Felicidad Manuel, mother Of
two victims, said 20 truck loads of
japanese troops, supported by two
tanks and a number of bloodhounds,
surrounded the villages on Decem-
ber IL, 1914, and paraded the in
habitants past the informer.
AS each passed, a silent nor or
shake of the hooded head settled
the fate Of the individual.
The witness said she was unable
to find her two sons, who had been
marked for death, in the piles of
dead at the local cemetery when
she searched the next day. They
had been executed in the Polo Mu-
nicipal Building.
Mrs. Manuel admitted under
cross examination that guerrillaS
had been very active in the area.
Earlier, Sergt. Richard Sakakida,
a Hawaiian Nisei who was
captured by japanese on Corregidor
and later made a civilian inter-
prefer in Yamashita's Baguio head
quarters, testified that in one month
300 persons, including at least six
Americans, were executed by the
Japanese at Manila's north ceme-
terry.
Most of those executed were Fill
pino civilians, but two were Ameri-
can mining engineers, ordered killed
for suspected guerrilla activities.
Others were leading Spanish resi-
dents, he said.
Sergt. Sakakida said he was
warned recently by Yamashita's
judge advocate. now a prisoner of
war, not to appear as a witness.
The warning, he testified, was given
a few DAYS ago when he saw the
judge advocate, Col Nishiharu,
at a prisoner of war camp here.

Immediate Problem.
But the immediate problem in Eu-
rope, UNRRA officials say, is to tide
the liberated areas through a cold,
bitter winter when, without aid,
thousands will starye or freeze.
The following summary, compiled
from reports to UNRRA by its field
agents in Europe, presents thumb
nail sketch of conditions in the six
countries where it is operating:
ALBANIA: Population living on
l 200 calories per day, compared with
an American average of over 5000.
Cereal production so to 10 per cent
Of normal. Livestock reduced 80 to
so per cent under prewar level. Forty
thousand homeless must be housed
In tents during the winter.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA: Cereal and
sugar beet crops 80 to so per cent
below normal. Livestock so per cent
depleted. Tractors and draft ami
mails Is per cent of normal. Eight
thousand miles of railroads out of
commission. Food ration in Bo-
hemia -Moravia district: 1,345 cal
cries for children, 1888 for most
adults and 2,704 for heavy workers.
GREECE: Average food consump-
ton $40 caleries per day. Some 414,-
056 people without shelter. Cereal
production so per cent under normal
and fishing industry so per cent de-
stroyed by mines. Industry operat-
ing at IS per cent of prewar level
Farm animals, reduced by half.
ITALY: Daily ration about 1000
calories. Some 100000 persons
homeless. Harvest one of poorest on
record. Industry crippled by lack of
power and transportation. Several
hundred tons of medical supplies
needed Immediately.
POLAND: Probably the worst
food situation in Europe" Produc-
ton of various cereals declined by
from 40 to II per cent. Livestock
losses: IA per cent of swine, 48 of
cattle, 80 of sheep. Profound
health problem presented by tu-
berculosis. typhoid, venereal disease
and dysentery. More than rs per

By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

About 100000 persons In lib
Grated Europe are looking to UNRRA
this winter for enough food to avoid
starvation, enough clothing to keep
out the cold and for medical aid in
fighting typhus and other epidemic
diseases.
The word about" is used ad-
visedly. In the large cities of the
six European countries receiving
UNRRA aid Albania, Greece,
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland
and Italy-there are some wealthy
families who, despite the war. have
held on to enough cash or material
goods to fend for themselves. There
is no way to estimate their number
exactly, but UNRRA describes them
as "only handful" .
All the rest of these 10000 900 Eu-
ropeans as we'll as. l 300 900 displaced
persons still In Germany are de-
pendants.
Beginning with a slow trickle of
supplies into Greece last fall, the
UNRRA pipeline is now pouring
food, clothes. medical supplies and
other necessities into Europe at. a
rate which Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man, director general, estimatesawill
reach 100000 tons monthly in the
near future.
Chest Nearly Exhausted.
The end of the war and the avail
ability OF surplus Army stocks OF
food and clothing has solved what
up to six months ago was UNRRA's
major problem-obtaining physical
supplies. For that, UNRRA says
has been substituted the problem OF
money. The original $4,000, ,000, ,000-
plus relief chest is nearly exhausted
At recent meeting in London, the
UNRRA Council voted another as
sessment on its non-invaded men,
ber countries of l per cent OF their
national income.
The ships that sail the seven seas
carrying UNRRA supplies to Europe
often carry strange cargoes, accord
ing to the relief organizations files
Recently an American ship arrived
in Greece with deck cargo of cows
and bulls, genesis OF livestock sup
ply for a country whose farm ami
mails were largely wiped out by the
Germans
Other ships carry such diverse
items as sewing machines for max
ing clothes and Chilean nitrates for
restoring the fertility of farmlands
The UNRRA program is designed
not only to relieve immediate dis
tress, but also to help people to help
themselves" by restoring native pro-
ductivity.
Varied Medical Service.
Medical services are equally varied
A short time ago an epidemic OF
poliomyelitis broke out in CZecho-
slovakia. officials there appealed tt
UNRRA for help. UNRRA men
broadcast an appeal for iron lungs
Within II hours 81 offers had beer
received, and a few days later the
first shipment was sent by air from
London to Prague.
A little earlier there had been 9
serious outbreak of smallpox ir
Yugoslavia. Within a day sigma
was flashed to UNRRA and a cass
of approximately 245.0O0 doses o.
vaccine had been flown to Bari from
Cairo. BY pm. next day the vac.
cine was in refrigerators in Belgrade
The rehabilitation of agriculture
as well as direct feeding is part O.
the UNRRA program. In Yugo
slavia recently, the UNRRA direc.
tor reported there was fertile, idle
land and plenty of farm labor-but
nothing with which to till. UNRRA
