Dear Joe
By JAMES l. HICKS

Dear Joe:
This is not the time to convert
your insurance.
When you were discharged from
the army, you had what Is known
as term" insurance. II you were
smart you had the limit Of $4,000
worth Of It.
This term insurance Is just an
other way Of the insurance company
betting your beneiiciariss $4,000
against your monthly payments
that you would still be living at the
end Of the term"
Just because you are out Of the
army does not mean the term"
is up. II you keep up the pay
ments you can keep the same in.
suTance for eight years, and the
odds still are $4,000 against your
monthly premiums. Not bad, is IL
Some wise guys have got the
notion that II you convert your
insurance you can borrow money
on IL and are stoTming VA offices
to convert It.
That's u bad deal. Joe. Here's
why:
II you are 80 years old, and pay
inR $S.4l a month for $40, 700 worth
Of term insurance, and you convert
your insurance into ordinary life
insurance, your payments will jump
from $s.4l n month to $iSGT, Can
you take that, JOEY
Or maybe you want to convert
Il into twenty payment life in
suranceH In that case your pay
ments will jump TO $2T.S5 each
month. Thirty payment life in
surancr will cost you $2l.67 each
month.
Let's get down to facts, Joe. SURF
you can borrow on q converted
policy. Sure II has a cash value.
But the very reason you want tC
convert IL IL because you need some
! dough, isn't II, JOEY
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-04-19

Now look. Joe, II you are hav-
ing trouble making payments Of
$S.Il, how in the name Of the COM
pany commander do you expect to
make payments Of $27.35H
II doesn't make sense. does it,
And II you aren't careful you'll
lose your entire policy.
This term insurance is tailor
made To cover q reconVersion period
such rs you are going through at
the present time. It's set up to
give you the most protection you
can get for the least amount Of
money. It's strictly an emergency
insurance-but the emergency isn't
over for you and me yet, Joe.
Harold w. BreininR. assistant
Veterans Administrator. said last
Thursday:
1T Is Of real concern to the VA
to learn that many veterans are
being advised to convert their in
surance. II u veteran has extra
cash it's n good thing to put IL
into insurance but | would general
ly advise that il be used to pay up
premiums in advance. A man
shouldn't convert his policy when
his economic status is uncertain"
There you are, Joe. He ought
to know. He is getting paid for
knowing.
And by the way. the Veterans
Administration ruled last Monday
that veterans who have let their
insurance lapse can reinstate Il
without taking a physical exAmina-
ton.
All you have to do is sign a state
ment saying you are in rs good
health now as you were at the time
your insurance lapsed. and pay up
your back premiums.
It's u good deal, Joe, and the
opportunity only lasts until De-
cember 81. After that it's ct. s."
as the boys say in New Guinea.
Well whattA va waiting on. SOL
dierl The line 10 rsinstAte your
insurance forms over there to the
right.
Yours in the service.

Says Thomas Editorial
Was "Unwarranted," Untrue

w
Editor: Your editorial in the Min
neapOlis Spokesman for April 8,
1916, entitled The X. J. Thomas
Defeat" contains certain state
ments that are unwarranted and
cannot be substantIated. When you
state that Mr.. Thomas opponent,
Mr.. Walter l.. keuther, had the
support of the Ku klux Khan, the
COughlInItes and the followers of
Gerald l.. K. Smith" you are max
ing serious charges that have no
basis in fact.
MIR. Reuther, like Mr.. Thomas
and the overwhelming majority Of
our leaders and membership, has
proved himself 10 be the champion
Of the Negro and other minority
groups. Our union Is dedicated to
the proposition Of equal rights for
all groups. Mr.. Reuther won the
presidency Of the United Automo-
bile Workers Union over Mr..
Thomas for his able leadership of
the General Motors strike, which
not only wrested gains from this
powerful corporation for our own
members, but set the pattern for
the rest Of industry to follow.
In winning the presidency Of our
great union, Mr.. Reuther had the
support Of most Of the progressive
forces of our union. That is the
simple truth of the matter, so in
plain justice TO Mr.. Reuther, whom
you so unjustly malign, it would be
most fitting for you to repudiate
the sentiments concerning him con-
tanned in your recent editorial.
Fraternally yours,
Arthur w. Hopkins, Secretary
United Automobile, Aircraft,
Agricultural Implement
Workers (UAW-CI0) Anal.

their return to the hotel, they are
told at the desk that the service
people had gone on strike during
the day and that they will have to
walk the thirty flights Of stairs to
their suite of rooms or spend the
night on cots on the second floor.
The two older brothers moved to
accept the temporary accommOda-
tions, but the younger brother, with
enthusiasm, suggested that II each
Of them took turns telling the best
stories they knew as they walked
the thirty flights of stairs, their
absorption in the enjoyment of the
stories would make them unmindful
of the grinding ascendency to their
suite.
The two older men were won
over and they told stories for the
first twenty flights. The younger
man took over for the final ten
flights. Their laughter at their own
stories was heard resounding In
many parts Of the hotel. They
finally reached the thirtieth floor
and the door to their suite.
The young man dug into his
pockets for the key and almost
simultaneously exclaimed. Il for
got" In unison the two older men
asked, forgot WHAT" The young
man replied, the key" They
spent the night outside the door of
their suite--all because the young
man forgot to get the key at the
desk on the bottom floor.
The golden key Of character is
the most important gift q church,
school, home or character building
agency can give to the youth of
today. Youth will not be able to
enter into a richer and fuller life
unless we find ways and means of
giving them the golden key Of char
acter. That is the biggest need
In the world today-men, women,
races and nations Of character.
We in America need put more
money, energy and soul into char
acteT. building programs for youth
than we invested In the total, global
and revolutionary wars out of
which we have just emerged with
lesser peace in our grasp and the
great peace yet to be built. And
only men Of character can build
that peace. Those men are yet to
be built.

the world.

Norway's
Nations Delegates
Now In Action

NEW YORK, N. members
of the Norwegian delegation to the
United Nations Assembly arrived
at LaGuardia Field, New York,
on Monday, October 21st, aboard
a special flight of the Scandinavian
Airlines System. The Norwegian
delegates include: Foreign Min
lister Harvard M. Lange, delega-
ton chairman; Wilhelm Morgen-
stierne, Norwegian Ambassador to
the U. S.. c. J. Hambro, President
of the Odelsting blouse of Par
lament; Terje Void, Norwegian
Supreme Court Justice; and Finn
Moe, permanent Norwegian dele
gats to the U.N. Alternate dele
gates include DR.. Jacob S. Worm
Muller, J. Strand Johansen, Mrs.
Aase Lionaes, DR.. Frede Castberg,
and Ole Cobjornsen. Mr.. Aake
Ording, Mrs. Ingrid Semmingsen,
Col. o. Munthe Kaas and Captain
Kristian Ostby RIM. are listed
as advisors to the delegation.
One of the first public state
ments to be made by a member
of the delegation upon arrival here
was that of Supreme Court JUS
tice Terje Void. During radio
address on the evening following
his arrival, Mr.. Void stressed the
significance of this first U.N. AS
sembly meeting on American soil.
1T is good TOKEN" he noted,
that the United Nations take up
it's work here in the land of Will
son and Roosevelt-the two great
presidents who lived and died for
peace and security on earth" Out
lining Norway's position on the
question of large and small pow
ers, Mr.. Void emphasized that the
task of the small nations lies first
and foremost in the social and eco
nomic fields-in the field Of inter-
national character building and en-
lightenment. TT has been said
that the United Nations organiza-
ton is undemocratic and especially
that the small nations have too
little influence" declared the
speaker. I'VE in Norway can not
regard the matter IN this light
War will not come to us if the
great powers are in agreement
Therefore, as long as the great
powers cooperate on the founda-
ton set forth in the United Ma
tions Charter, it must be correct
in terms of practical politics, that
they also assume responsibility for
the peace and security"

least important items to pass the veil of censorship the report of the removal by the Union of Soviet Writers of it's president and the expulsion of two of it's members
 This latest purge was based upon charge that the writers failed to meet the requirement in the union charter that members stand platform of Soviet power and participate in Socialist construction One accused of writing poetry which voiced the pessmistc spirit and depression expressive of old salon poesy.' Another charged with having writ ten empty conentless and insipd material calculated to dsorent youth and poison their consciousness Such writers branded victims of the harmful theory" that it is useless write anything worth while now; that such works be published in the future That would be to concede that without free dom of thought and expression genius must be stifled This, says Communist Party decree which the union indorsed just isn't Soviet literature, it holds, is the most advanced in the world" Here may be the root of Russas trouble if journalistic straws really do show which way the Russian wind is blowing.

REPUBLICAN GAINS HEAVY

With returns still not complete, indications are that the Republicans have scored mighty victory in Alaska by taking control of the House of Represen- tatives gaining five seats in the Senate, just one short of an even break and nabbng off Territorial office-Co Commissioner of Labor.
 According to returns available for the entire Territory the 1947 House of Representatives will con- sist of Republicans and 10 Democrats. The Senate will have g Democrats and T Republicans due to Democratic holdovers who not up for reelection this year Out of the Senatorial seats open in this election the Republicans captured 6.
 Of the 40 seats in the entire Legislature the Re- publicans will have 21 and the Democrats 19. Just a year ago the makeup showed 34 Democrats and Republicans.
 Delegate E. L. Bob Bartett's overwhelming victory was the bright spot for the Democrats Democratic Treasurer Oscar G. Olson is also sure of reelection put Republican candidate Cash Cole put up strong battle for the job. Republican Henry Benson won easily for Commissioner of Labor in threeway race. In the last election, when Democrats ran up an overwhelming victory Alaska Governor Ernest Gruen- ing coined political phrase-"AS Alaska goes, so goes the nation" This too, may be indication of the will go in the Congressional elections in the States next month.

Hurleys job is not quite so easy. That may be the reason why he has been claiming he has been a resident of New Mexico ever since 1885.
 Anyway, officials who had heard about the big $1OO,OOO fees which Hurley collected from the Sinclair Oil Company thought they had better make routine check of Pats tax returns only to discover that he paid no taxes in New Mex ico in 1885. Nor did he pay taxes for several years thereafter. This would seem to put Pat very much on the spot. Either he was not the loyal resident of New Mexico in 1885 that he says he was, or else he was seriously delinquent as a taxpayer. One or the other must be the case.

Tax Bait
Washington Post

Washington Post
 Representative Knutson is doing his party poor service by ntimating that Republican control of Congress after the November election might mean a 20 per cent cut in personal income taxes and a balanced budget well tax reduction Of course. taxes could be reduced to any extent desired. and budgetary surpuses obtained at the tme if the spending program cut down sufficiently to permit of such a consummation. But those who are sincerely concerned about the state of the Federal finances want to be assured that Congress to ouays sharply before reducing taxes promise of tax relief at this juncture would be premature. Furthermore angling for votes by holding out hopes of tax relief is shabby sort of political performance.
 With Government spending running at the rate of 41 billion dollars yearly. sharp cuts in outlays are imperative since the tax burden is patenty excessive However, there is slight hope that any substantial reductions will be achieved during the present fiscal year, despite President Trumans efforts. Sound budgetary policy calls therefore for deferral of further tax reduction until Government spending has been reduced to level at which revenues are more than adequate to cover current outlays When Congress has actually shown disposition to economize-and only hen-will it be safe to give taxpayers the relief to which they are entitled.

The Honorable Patrick J. Hur- ley, who, when Secretary of War under Hoover, did so much talking about his cowboy career in the great state of Oklahoma, has now forgotten Oklahoma and is talking about the great state of New Mex ico.
 Reason, ol course, is that he is trying to persuade the people of New Mexico to send him to the U. s. Senate. New Mexico, hitherto, has been considered the happy hunting ground of customers who moved west with a yen for getting into politics. The late Bronson Cut ting went out there from New York, was elected to the Senate, and now other people = notably Hurley-have had the idea they could do the same thing.
 However, the people of New Mex ico are getting a little sensitive about newcomers who eagerly vol pnteer to be their Senator, and
