 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON sERvicEMEN's PROBLEMS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, June 2.-These ques- tions concern mail to men overseas:
 Q. I have not heard from my son since the end of the war in Europe. I owe him a letter and he is probably waiting to hear from me but I am hesitating to write because his address will be changed. How can I find out his new address?
 A. Write to the same address. The Army will forward your let ter. Your son will be instructed to write to you and give you his new address as soon as he gets it.
 O. My mother received . letter from my brother which was sort of form, she said, instructing her not to write until she heard from him again. She lost the form letter and we haven't heard from him yet. How can we contact him?
 A. AS soon as he gets new permanent address he will be in- Structed to send it to you. You will probably get the new address very soon.
 Q. I sent some important papers for my husband to see just before the war ended in Germany. Since then I have heard that he will return to the United States. He had not received these papers. What will happen to that letter? Is there . chance that 1t will be lest and never returned?
 A. Before leaving Europe each soldier was instructed to leave . forwarding address or instruc- tions that mail be returned to the sender. The postal problems re- sulting from the redeployment of American troops has put 8 heavy load on the military postal sys- tenn. There is only slight chance that the letter will be lost. It may take some time before 1t gets back to you but postal ofa- cials are doing the best job pos sible under the dit1cult circum- stances.
 Q. My son gets subscriptions to four magazines sent overseas. Should notify them of his new address when I get 1t? He was in Italy.
 A. Soldiers have been given special forms for that purpose.

 This weeks visitor was a lad of sixteen. Let's call him Jim Holden. Jim came to us to find out about getting a social security card - about applying for his social se- curity policy, as he put it. He was 8 high school student and had lined up a job delivering groceries on Saturdays.

our victory as high as possible.
 But for the tremendous Strik- ing force, built up through your War Bond dollars and work, our losses would be staggering be- yond belief. Great air fleets, the most powerful Navy in the worlds history, the best in med ical equipment-all these have contributed to reducing the num- Der of killed and wounded.
 You can do nothing to add to the glory of the fighting men who have died. For the wounded you can do much. War Bonds help to pay for their medical care and rehabilitation. You can't afford to take the chance that your mighty help win not be needed in the Battle of Japan.

NEW YORK.-The Post Office
Department has ruled that letters
to which are affixed the no-dis-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. stickers
of the March on Washington Move
ment will not be accepted for mail
ing.
The Department says the brown
and white stickers, which bear on
their face photograph of a Negro
locomotive fireman and the words:
"For Jobs and Justice" are con-
troversial.
But the office of Ramsey S.
Black, Third Assistant Postmaster
General, which took the action,
added yesterday in Washington
that it objected neither to the
photograph of the Negro or the
quoted words. According to a
spokesman of the Department, its
fire was drawn by the phrase:
March on Washington Movement"
which appears at the bottom of the
2x% inch stamp.
The March on Washington Move
ment, whose national director is A.
Philip Randolph, president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers, AFL, is chiefly known for its
picketing last year of the New York
offices of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. in protest against the
company's policy of segregation in
its housing developments and its
alleged discriminatory employment
practices. The movement is now
busy organizing the estimated
2,500,000 Negro policyholders in the
U. S. A. 1t has no present plans
for an actual march on the Capital.
