Q. Our son died in a prisoner
of war camp in 1912. At the time
he enlisted in 1941 he took out
$4,000 in life insurance planning
to take more later. We later re-
ceived papers stating he had pre-
ferred insurance. and we filled
out papers for it last January and
have heard nothing more since
l am receiving payment on the
$4,000. What is "preferred insur-
ance"? Our son was captured
at the fall Of Bataan-Mrs. c.,
McCook, Neb.
A. l am sure that "preferrec
insurance" must mean the gratu-
itous insurance which was grant
ed to all men in the service who
were beseiged, isolated or prison
ers of war between October 6,
1910 and April 10, 1912 amount
ing to $4,000. l believe your best
bet would be to write direct to
the insurance claims office of the
Veterans administration, Wash
ington, D. c., giving your sons
nan0e, serial number and rank
ard ali details and l am conf
de0t that you will obtain an early
answer.
@. Can you tell me the proper
address to write to obtain a copy
Of ny service record? l want to
refer to four delinquent bonds I
was advised that according to my
service record, were not deducted
from my pay and that l received
my full pay for these four months.
This is rot so as l had a volun-
tary allotment each month there
by making deductions on every
months pay. l would like an
itemized list as l didn't get any
pay for sometime prior to sailing

dead unless, President Truman
sees fit to bring it back into spe-
cial session between now and
January 3 when the new 8Oth
congress convenes.
The speculation here, with
food prices, commodity prices
and all prices except rents, show
ing a steady rise, a rise which is
expected to continue despite the
efforts of a crippled and impotent
OPA and promises of leaders of
the National Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, is just how high must

his advisers consider dangerous
initiation is here and special ses-
sion necessary to curb it.
However, in spite of the eco
nomic dangers ahead, there is a
general feeling of relief that this
congress is out of the way. It has
been marked by futility, bicker-
ing, filibusters, intolerance and
selfishness, log rolling and coali-
tons on most all domestic issues.
Probably never before in history
has the legislative program of a
President been treated with such
contempt and defiance as the
program sent to the congress by
President Truman shortly after
his accession to the Presidency
upon the death of Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Adjournment sine die gives the
congress the longest respite since
1898 when the 18th congress adj
iourned on June Is. Since that
date, the affairs of war and peace
have kept the members close to

More: Milk For
Tar Heels Wanted

North Carolinians need to drink
about twice as much sweet milk
as is now being produced in the
State to bring them up to the
national average of about IS gal
Ions per person.
Just how can this extra milk be
obtained? John Arey, in charge
of Extension Dairying at State
College, says that an extra 49,

same time he points out that not
enough good roughage is being

News Blackout
Editor and Publisher


 Arbitrary censorship by group of private ind viduals has struck American newspapers Every news paper reader in the United States should be told thai fact.
 There is no authority in American legislation anc certainly no precedent in American history which grants 10 ROO members of the American Communica- tons Association (CIO) the power deprive all Am erican citizens of important international at this or any time through embargo such press mes sages.
 This embargo applied to all cable companies where members of the AGA are employed is the outgrowth of the strike at Press Wireless and is the unions method of attempting to force it's demands that employer The embargo nominally directed against the newspaper and press association stockholders in Press Wireless is actually hitting the American people below the belt
 News events of vital significance to the future welfare of this country taking place in Paris, Palestine, China Berlin and elsewhere. Dispatches from American correspondents in those places cannot be printed in American newspapers, says the AGA CCIO). The members of the AGA have dispute with Press Wireless and that union considers itself privileged to tell American newspapers what they cannot print, and to tell American readers what they may or may not read.
 It may be significant that the union which has imposed this censorship is regarded Communist dominated. It may also be significant that Tass New York office exempt from the embargo for one or two hours after the deadine-through a "misunder- standing" as union official explained it.
 The following contract clause is indicative of the morality and honor among the leaders of this union who called strike in spite of it: The union agrees that there shall be ske sit down. slow down. walk out, job action, application of union rules of work of cooperation concerted refusal to work overtime, stoppage curtaiment of work for any reason during the life of this agreement"
 This is unwaranted, extreme and irresponsible use of the strike weapon No defend the right of any special group union employer to deprive the American people of information. Neither this com union the New York Newspaper Guild which has instructed it's members on newspapers not to handle Press Wireless copy has that right
 The public interest is involved and the government must act at once through the Federal Communications Commission to demand full restoration of all cable services hit by the sympathy strike. The American people must be adequately informed as to what is going in the world in order our own democratic system to function properly.
 Our elected representatives in Congress must cor rect the badly written labor laws which have given unions the mistaken idea they have such authority

Charlie Switzer, who died suddenly yesterday after in Juneau at the age of 9l was a friend Of many and an Alaskan extraordinary. He had been in Alaska since 1898, a graduate of Cornell University and bugler with the Northern Army in the Civil War
 As early 1874 his desire to help others became foremost in his iIIe As a worker in the Curry Mine in Virginia City, Nevada, at that time he sent two nieces and nephew through college. He was con- stantly helping others. One young man he fed and cared for in Alaska Jack London the famous writer. He rich many times, but his money went for the poor, the unfortunates the drunkards and others he befrended
 The dairy farm which Swtzer sold recently started in 1922 and since that time he has fed and sheltered more than thousand men If on his milk route he found down and out, he'd pack him out to his farm and put him on his feet Many were those he supplied with milk without charge.

PRAISES TRUMAN

Nearly thirty years ago a soldier was honorably discharged from the Army. He went back to his home state of Missouri, seeking a job and place in his community De- spite many hardships, he toiled on to success in the American tradi- ton.
 Today this veteran is the head of cur Government; and is aware, through his own experience, of the problems that confront these mil lions of returning Americans. No problem in Government is closer to his heart.
 Let us all join with him to work out their future through a continu- ance of that philosophy of under standing and tolerance between peoples that has made the United States not only the working sym bol of Democratic government, but also the greatest nation in the history of the world.

ISOLATION GONE

Suddenly two fighter planes shot out from the mountains, and short ly thereafter a great bomber dron- cd its way high overhead. The cloud at Bikini again flashed be- fore us. We thought, Isolation for these people has gone forever; from here out, all the peoples of the world are in this business together. ?
 In Shanghai, as we moved from the poverty and dirt of the streets through the sentried entrance of ne beautiful house of our Ameri- can host, the latter observed, Shanghai is a fine town-behind the walls"
 Ard few days later, as we rode through the streets to the Consuls house in Calcutta, through the sickness and the poverty and the filth, our Vice-Consul remarked, Calcutta is a grand city-behind the walls
 How much farther we would be in our pursuit of world peace and happiness if all the effort utilized In building such structures of clay and stone had been put to breaking down those walls of misunderstand- mg between peoples which harbor the seeds of future strifel
 How much more happiness and security have flown through the homelands to the people from the wall of the Bonneville Dam alone than ever came from all those walls in Asia.
 Foreign nations are not the only places where there are barriers to understanding, however Right there in this country we are developing major walls of disagreement; fac lion against faction, labor against capital, racial and religious bigotry.

NEED PRODUCTION

For them and therefore ourselves let us get the peacetime economy moving, in order that the dreams they dreamed while in the foxholes, on the decks, and during the long patrols, will really come true.
 America has it's troubles, but surely they are nothing as com pared to the agonies of Europe and Asia.
 If we all strive for that under standing which comes with team work, we will also obtain efficiency; and with efficiency we will get ample production, production in the fields as well as in the factories.
 Nothing could be more import ant to our nations future; because without ample production our way of life cannot survive.

Those 21 men before you, in con- junction with Hitler and Himmler, not only planned, but by their own estimate, actually carried out the extermination of oyer six mii- lion people,
 More than any vivid memory, however, is our conviction that the latest developments of science, atomic energy, the airplane of to- day, the space ship of tomorrow, have made any handmade walls of isola .ionism forever futile.
 What a waste of human effort as well as human thought these walls have beenl It is estimated the great wall of China took hundreds of thousands of people over 1,700 years to build. But all through China and other countries, we saw countless smaller walls, built, it would seem, to keep out any possi- bility of that mutual understand ing which goes with human rela- tionship.
 One afternoon we were swimming from boat on Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, close to the home of the failure that was the League of Nations. The Alps were very beautiful in the summer haze. We thought of how much their protec- tion had meant to the Swiss in their ability to isolate themselves from two World Wars.

these sad conditions in other coun- tries. They know now how much America means to those who believe in the rights of the individual, the right to live ones life in ones own way, and to differ with the rule of the majority.
 So they came back cherishing their country more than ever, eager to orient themselves into civilian society, to live under the rules they fought to maintain, to have a job at good wages, home, a posi- tion in the community they left.
