WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT

Reader who has been married near1y two years writes:

It would be in line with the perverted con- cept of marriage that prevails so widely in America - that young married people may or should post pone the raising of a family for "a few years" so they can have some fun' or "get home paid for" or save up enough money to pay for all the frills and fancy specialist extravaganceS certain type or snob must have in order to keep up with the JoneSeS.
 It Takes Three Years to Get
 C4o
 In an earlier article here I said childlessness should be taxable aft- CT three years of marriage. In g good many instances, even when the young couple long for children with all their hearts conception just does not occur until they nave been married two or three years. Why not, is a subject for specula- tion. But as practical, 1t IS gen. eraly advisable to do nothing about it until or unless this interval or three years has passed without con- ception.
 In the event that the union IS not so blessed in that time, l5 should be clearly understood ana TGCOAlANGd Dy dl4 SN@AS~~>O~ conception has not occurred or that if conception has occurred abortion has followeo-either accidental or criminal.

dynamite-laden row between Tur- key and RuSsia-a row which may test out the United Nations ability to prevent war almost be- fore the ink is dry on the Char ter.
 Development No. l.: Ed Stettinius, shortly before resigning as Sec retary of State, sent strong note to the Russians in which he sup ported the Turks. He reminded the Russians that at Yalta, Stalin had gone along with the other Big Three in assuring Turkey re- garding the views of himself, Roosevelt and Churchill'' as to ''the continuation of Turkish in- dependence and integrity"
 Development No. 2: Foreign Com missar Molotov has had another session with the Turkish Ambas- sador in Moscow in which the Russians pulled in their horns somewhat - though they are still sticking long way out.
 ACCOIOlLlS IO ullCC1AoO4C0 0ApAO- matic dispatches, Molotov told the Turkish ambassador during this session that Russia would re- quire bases in the Dardenelles ''only in case of war, not in peace" Previously, the Russians had de- manded the right to take over this vital strip of waterway over which armies have fought for years and which the Czars of Russia have coveted ever since there was a Russia.
 Molotov also said that Russia wished to talk to Turkey about various questions concerning the Balkan states. This was conSid- cred an indirect way to saying that Russia wants European Tur- key ceded to Bulgaria.
 However, Molotov added that
 if the above propositions were
 agreed, Russia would be glad to
 sign a treaty of alliance with
 Turkey, which would 80 further
 than a treaty of friendship.

ciliatory than previous Russian proposals, got nowhere with the Turkish Ambassador. He replied that negotiations in Moscow were ended. Anything further to be said, he told Molotov, must be said in Ankara.
 RUSSIA COULD USE VETO
 Meanwhile further talks have been going on in Ankara, where the Russians also demand that the Turks return two pieces of territory, Kars and Ardahan, In order to do something for the Armenian people," These two areas, located next to Armenia, were once Russian, but the Soviet voluntarily gave them to Turkey in 1921.
 The Turkish Foreign Minister begged off from making any reply to the Soviet Ambassador, and immediately rushed to call in the British Ambassador for advice.
 Meanwhile, Russian troops are concentrating in Georgia and Armenia just opposite Kars and Ardahan, the two areas Russia wants back. Also increased Rus sian forces have been seen in Thrace, the border of European Turkey. Should Russia take over these areas, and should Tur- key then invoke the United Ma tions Charter to prevent war, Russia could use its much-de-
 bated power of veto to block &C., ton by the United Nations.
 NOTE-It was to stop Russia from taking the Dardenelles that the British and French came in- to the Crimean war on Turkeys side against Russia in 1854. Should there be war between Turkey and Russia today, the Arab states un- doubtedly would come in on the side of Turkey, putting the Bri- tish, with strong Arab ties, in 3 most difficult position.

.y U rious American firms, such as Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Aluminium Corporation of America, before Pearl Harbor.
 These files may reveal secret German patents which would help American industry; also reveal the extent to which certain Ameri- can firms collaborated; also prove the war guilt of German indus trial leaders.
 However, here is the inside story of what is happening to these files. They were first stored by the U. S. Army in German warehouse in Frankfort. Then the Army needed space, and moved a large group of displaced per- sons-Russians, Poles, French into the warehouse. The D. P.'s immediately began tearing open the files to see if there was any thing valuable in them.
 Then the U. s. Army needed even more space, and moved the files outside behind the warehouse. There they kicked around in the wind and the rain.
 Finally someone high up in the Army realized the import ance of the {. G. Farben files and moved them back into the warehouse. Whether it is too late to make real use of them remains to be seen. Tons and tons of paper are scattered in every direction. Searching though them is like hunting a needle in haystack.
 EXIT MISS PERKINS
 Next to Secretary of the h. terior Ickes, the Roosevelt Cabi- net member who has held office longest stepped out of the Cabi- net last week end. Several days before she stepped out, Miss Per- kins called up her friend Attorney General Riddle, who left the Cabi- net simultaneously.
 How do you feel?" she asked.
 Fine" replied Riddle.
 We'll" said the lady who has been Secretary of Labor for 12 long and tumultOus years, let's go out and celebrate"
 This column has sometimes been critical of Miss Perkins during her long tenure of office. But as we look back over the years, some thing should be said to balance the criticism. In the first place. no period in the entire history of the nation has been more diff cult from the point of view of labor. Labor was in the throes of growing pains. It was an era which Perkins inherited, not one which she personally brought about.
 And while there may be cause to debate the wisdom of appoint ing a woman to such a diffi- cult post during such a difficult era, yet when we look back on Miss Perkins sterile and hide bound predecessors, the William Nuckles Doaks and the Puddler Jim Davies of yesteryear. it must be admitted that the lady shone tn comparison.
 NOTE-Like some other mem- hers of the Cabinet, Miss Per- kins retires almost penniless. She has exhausted her private savings and as Jim Farley so often said, it is almost impossible to live on a Cabinet salary. Four years ago, Miss Perkins had a chance to be- come President of a New England college for women, but FDR asked her to remain on.

JACKPOT
(New Haven Journal Courier)

(New Haven Journal-C Courier)
 The government has started dis tributing $76,0O0,000 among those fortunate citizens who paid too much income tax in 1944. Most of the refunds will be for overpayment under the withholding plan, which seems to us another recommended tion for 5he pay-aS-you-go system.
 These pleasant bonanzas will be the nearest thing to winning Irish Sweepstakes ticket that wartime liv- ing has to offer. and ought to pro- duce the same rash of newspaper interviews with the lucky recipients.
 And, with the Seventh War Loan drive in progress. we will lay small bet that we can guess the predom- inant answer to the inevitable ques- tion: What are you going to do with the money?"
