This is the ninth installment.
 Q. My son has been a prisoner of war held by Japan in the Philip pines. His name was not among those prisoners who were liberated. Since I do not have his presnt ad- dress, how can I correspond with him?

 A. You should continue to write him using his previous prisoner of war mailing address. All camps which were moved by Germany still retain the same name.
 Q. My son applied for family allowance for me. He is now over- seas and writes me that $2200 is be- ing deducted from his check, yet l have received no money. I have written to the Office of Dependency Benefits in Newark, New Jersey, but I have received no answer. What can I do about this?
