VI. +. 81 like your advice on
the problems of life. | have been
Irving with my brother ever
since he lost his wife a year ago
and | am becoming very unhap-
py I have only one girl and she
doesn't like staying here. Should
get house for us Or stay here
just for room. l have a good
job and work all of the time.
Ans: You have been with
your brother year and bridged
over the. lonely gap that always
follows when a man loses his wife
and a change now wouldn't up
set him too much. Before max
ing a definite decision, you
should discuss your plans with
him and offer your help in Sc
curing a competent housekeeper.
Your daughter is grown and will
probably be single only a few
more years and you should see
that she has the home atmosphere
that will make her happy. You
and your daughter could be
very happy in a small apartment.
M. c. Twill you please tell
A1e the reason this man acts as he
does' l have been going with
him for six or seven years and
he says he loves me but he acts
so funny. He will say he will
marry and then he will say he
isn't ready. Now why isn't he
ready? He keeps my mind so
upset that can't even do my
work as ! should.
Ans. If his was the deep de-
votion upon which marriage
should be founded, his mind
would be fully made up and he
would be right there when you
set the wedding date. A man
who can't and won't make up his
mind isn't in love enough to
want TO get married. You have
gone with him steadily for seven
years and you are letting your
youth slip away. Force him to
come to showdown. either
he makes up his mind or you de-
eide right now that you are going
to seek friendships elsewhere.

place. Everytime l ask him to do
anything around the place he has
an excuse. | am disguised, must
still keep on trying to work and
help or just pack up and leave?
l know you can help me, but do
SO soon.
Ans; Hold to your place as
everything you two have accum-
uiated since marriage is invested
IN it. The period of unrest
through which your husband is
passing is temporary. He is try

Two Metropolitan policemen sur

Newspaper Pay High,
Production Shrinks,
ANPA Group Asserts
BY the kssocioted Press

NEW YORK, April 25.-The
American Newspaper Publishers
Association was told today that
wage increases granted by publish
ers now place the daily newspaper
business at the top of the national
wage scale without a compensating
improvement of manpower produc-
ton"
In a report to the ANPA's Goth
annual convention, the special
standing committee, which described
itself as substantially an arbitra-
ton committee" declared:
This procession up the wage
ladder while descending the produc-
tion ladder, with the number of daily
newspapers decreasing from 2,216
in 1889, to 1,725 in 1916, does not
spell progress for either management
or labor. For management the re-
suit is obvious. For labor the result
is decreased employment oppor-
tunity."
Wasteful Conditions Hit.
"The wasteful processes of de-
creasing production by resetting un-
used type, reducing apprentice
ratios, increasing manning require
ments, pay for time not worked
within specified working hours and
numerous other unearned benefits,
contravene the basic rule that in
creased income is based on increased
production.
Wages, like profits, dividends and
commissions, should be determined
by production AS in other indus
tries, the newspaper business can
not survive, nor can the public with
stand, an endless march of increased
costs without a commensurate i'm
provement in production"
Regarding arbitration, the COM
mittee said:
"ANPA arbitration commitments
with employees have increased dur
ing the past year. The past year
has produced net gain of 81 in
all forms of arbitration commit
ments with the five mechanical
unions, each of which shows an
increase.
Arbitration Favored.
Until a better means of deter
mining industrial disputes is avail
able, ANPA affirms its long-estab-
lished policy of voluntary arbitra-
ton. If conciliation fails in the alb
sence of voluntary arbitration, no
other machinery seems available ex-
cept compulsory arbitration.
Compulsory arbitration is unen-
forceable unless fostered by Govern
ment. If fostered by Government, it
leads to complete and permanent
governmental jurisdiction. Hence
compulsory arbitration can impair
collective bargaining in the news
paper business by a rationalized
Straitjacket for local newspaper
problems through an increasing Gov
ernment control, with decreasing
employer-employe relations"
The committee also reported that
the 40 strikes in 1945 were more
strikes ''in the daily newspaper busi-
ness than have occurred in many

treatment. At that time-the be-
ginning of December-the VD rate
ran as high as so per cent among
women in Berlin and Bremen and
the average number of soldier cases
throughout the theater was 225 per
thousand.
"As a result OF raids and the
opening Of metropolitan prophylac-
tic stations in Berlin, the rate in
Berlin has dropped to 167 and in
Bremen to 1885," said the former as
sistant professor Of preventive medi-
cine at Loyola Medical School.
THE rate is under control at the

send it up again. In the western

instance. it is rising and has been
up to 427 cases.

about it. The fact is, we had to

The original Soviet garrison in
Harbin was large, but had been
reduced steadily until only small

In Peiping, Gen. Chao said $4,000
experienced Japanese troops and
40, 900 Koreans bore the brunt of the
fighting for the Communists at both
|Changchun, the Manchurian capital,
and Szepingkai. Communists cap
tuTed Changchung last week and
forced the governments 1st Army
to bypass Szepingkai in its futile
effort to save the national force at
Changchun.
Japs Declared Used by Reds.
Gen. Chao asserted that the Com
munists, lacking experience in posi-
tional warfare, used Japanese and
Koreans to defend their first lines.
He said his information came from
captured japanese.
The general further said the Com
munists were using Japanese to con-
struct concrete defenses along the
Chengtu-Kungchuling line, 40 miles
south of Changchun, where the LIST
Army two days ago was reported
battling Communists in its attempt
to reach the capital city.
