" home or apartment?
Its murder!" the young
lieutenant said.
The young lieutenant was standing in
line at an officers service committee
headquarters, which seeks to help vet
Grams find living quarters in big East
ern city. He represents one of million
American families who have doubled up
in order to find living space (Housing
authorities say there may be three mil
lion families doing it before the end of
the year)
Some people say doubling up is the
easiest way to get place to live. But
the lieutenant called it murder" and,
in the line behind him, score of voices
echoed his words.
They Had Lived Double
All Over the Country
We've lived double all over this coun-
try" went on the lieutenant, glancing at
his pretty blue-eyed wife beside him.
1T just won't work. Either you have to
give up everything you want or you have
to keep battling for it all the time. They
want to play the radio; you want it
quiet. They vast to get up at 6; you
want to sleep late. You like your steak
rare; they want it well done"
III never forget that steak" said his
wife, pushing back her veil and taking
up the tale. That's when we were liv-
ing with in-laws of in-laws out in Illi-
nois. One day she had big juicy steak
and she was going to fry it, of all things
I persuaded her to broil it and it was
fairly rare. Then the teen-age daugh-
ter said at table: 'O-o-o-h' 1 can't bear
1t. it, al bloody So her father scold-
ed her and they had a family row and
1t was all supposed to be my fault.

"You can't ever seem to get it fixed.
II you don't do your part, they don't
like it. And if you do your part and do
1t well somebody is likely to sniff that
apparently you didn't like the way they
did the same thing the last time. In
one place we were, the daughter had a
baby and she also had job. So tried
to help by taking care of the baby. First
think I knew he was calling me Num-
my. And his mother heard him one
night and began to cry and said she
guessed she didn't have a baby anv
more. So then her mother said Shame
on you! After all she has done for your
child And then everybody cried.
You see!" said the lieutenant grimly.
mo matter what you do, you're in a big

him thoughtfully, Il certainly would
not say living double is any picnic: but

With Turk Premier
BY the Associated Press

ISTANBUL, Mar. 19 Delayed -
American Ambassador Edwin c.
Wilson had long interview yester-
day with Turkish Premier Sukru
Saracoglu at Ankara, causing wide
speculation in diplomatic circles.
Some quarters were inclined to
link the interview with the current
situation in Iran.
The Turkish press gave prom
inence to stories of Turkish patri-
otic ceremonies at Canakkale on
the Dardanelles, where military ora
tors were quoted as saying Turkey
was ready to turn back any threat
to her SOIL"
One speaker was quoted as de-
claring that Canakkale, where the
Turks turned back the British in
the World War, will remain Tur-
kish forever, and if necessary we
will fight to the end for this ideal.
The Ankara radio, in a broadcast
last night, quoted an article in the
Furkish government newspaper illus
appealing to Iraq and Syria to fore
stall an autonomous uprising
among 100000 Kurdish tribesmen
living along Turkeys southeastern
frontier. The article said the next
step Of the Kurds would be to carry
out surprise attacks and uprisings
calculated to upset internal law and
order in neighboring countries"

Congress was urged by the Sec.
retaries of War and Navy today tc

James K. Vardaman, jr., P. ssi-
dent Truman's naval aide," prob
ably has not had enough expert
ence" to serve on the Federal
Reserve Board of Governors.
Mr.. Hemingway, president of the
Mercantile Commerce Bank & Trust
Co. and former president of the
American Bankers Association, gave
this estimate of Commodore Varda-
man to the Senate Banking Subcom-
mittee as it resumed hearings on his
nomination to a 14-year term on the
Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Hemingway began his testi-
mony after Chairman Radcliffe told
q number Of former banking and

tant and deal with facts not In con-
troversy."

Commodore Vardaman, fianked by
three other naval officers, sat a few
feet from Mr.. Hemingway listening
intently.
Mr.. Hemingway. answering ques-
tons, said he had no personal
business dealings with Commodore
Vardaman, but had known him as a
pleasant young banker"

fitted him for the important posi-
tion," Mr.. Hemingway said, explain
ing that was why he had telegraphed
the committee to that effect.

opportunity to study or prepare
himself for duties Of the Board OF

whether his testimony was in behalf
Of the bank he heads or personal.

daman to subpoena his own wit
neseses if he desires. But the White

resistance OF reactionary and anti
democratic groups and certain ele-
ments whose object is to undermine
the work Of creating and firmly

Gen. Shtykov did not identity
these groups. Whether the heavy
set veteran of the western front
referred only to factions in the
American zone was obscured by lack
OF information on the political situa-
ton in the Russian sector.
At one point in his 600-word

Allied role in helping trusteeship-
hating Korea establish a provisional
