I have been thinking of closing

you think this would be a wise
move.
Ans: AS long as you are doing
a good business and making mon
ey keep your restaurant open. En-
ploy someone to relieve you of
your heavy duties. You may find
that you will be physically able
to spend the greater portion of
your day in your place of business
and unless your doctor advises
against it hold on to your business.
r. LII love my husband but
I don't believe that he loves me
He is in service and when he is
home he divides his time with me
and others. He loves women and
a big time. Now a class mate of
mine who went to high school with
me wants me to divorce my mate
and marry him. I am sure I love
him.
Ans: Better not see the old
class mate again. you're cooking
up something that will be too hot
to handle. Call the whole thing
off. You admit that you love your
husband and it stands to reason
that you can't love them both. Be

Councilman Davis
Tits with Mayor
On Housing

NEW YORK CITY. (CNS,..
Benjamin J. Davis. Jr., commun-
lst candidate elected to the New
Y ork City Council exchanged
wore with Mayor O'Dwyer last
week over the acute housing 81
tuation in Harlem. The Council
man led a delegation of some 20
Harlem representatives of civic
and ~veteranes' groups who met
with the Mayor by appointment.
Davis described the situation as
being very tense, and he stated
further: "They (the residents of
Harlem) don't like disturbances
or riots, but they can only take
SO much"
Mayor O'Dwyer made no reply
to the Councilman's implied threat
of violence; instead he suggested
that the groups meet with his
administrative secretary, prepare
a definite plan and submit it to
him for approval. 1t was at this
point that Councilman Davis in
terrupted the mayor with a e
quest for a more definite state
ment.

less the Negro veterans are able
to get houses within a few days
they are likely to take things in
to their own hands,.
If that is an implied threat Of
violence, and 1 sincerely hope that
it is not" the mayor replied, 'let
me tell you that there will be law

the last one to resort to force.
II have suggested a procedure
which I think can solve this pro-
blem and that is the only way I
will discuss this situation further.
I do hope that no one in this room
has the bad judgement to present
me with a challenge Of force be-
cause that will oblige me to do
something that is not in my blood.
II merely wanted to call your
attention to the situation, Davis
explained. These veterans r

understand that since you r a

Ito her and she denied it. 1 have
given her many nice gifts, money

give her up? She was real sweet
until this happened and I don't

Ans: You have never had the
opportunity to go with this woman
openly consequently you have not
been able to appreciate all sides
of her personality. Continue to be
friendly with her and give her a
chance to prove her true charac-
ter. If she cannot be loyal while

Congress Will Have
Huge Veteran Bloc

The veteran of World War II is firmly
implanted in the political arena with
both feet.
In striking contrast to what happened
Immediately after World War I, the
latest crop of ex-servicemen lost no time
in mailing down powerful claim to pub
lie Office.
Next to the Republican triumph, that
. is the most significant development of
last Tuesdays balloting.
Throughout the country ex-servicemen
OF the recent world conflict knocked over
older. nonveteran incumbents of both
parties of every rank-from City Coun-
Gilman to United States Senator.
This is very different from what hap
pened after World War I. Then. there
was no large-scale movement of vet
erans into politics. As the years
elapsed, however, many sought public
office; but not primarily as veterans.
At no time up to World War II was
there such thing for example, as
veterans bloc in Congress.
But when the new Congress convenes
January 8, there will be powerful bloc
of World War II veterans on Capitol
Hill
OF the 35 newly elected Senators, Z
will be World War II veterans, and in
the House there Will be bloc of at least
go who doffed their uniforms within the
past year.
Three of the new Governors are re-
cent Army and Navy men. They are
Ernest w. Gibson, Republican, Of Yer
mont, former colonel in the Pacific;
William Preston Lane, jr., Democrat, OF
Maryland, Army veteran Of both World
Wars, and James E. Folsom, Democrat,
of Alabama, an excl.
The marked success Of the veteran in
the first election since vi day is a
potent portend of what can be expected
politically from them in the future.
This year, with millions of ex-seryice-
men still going to school and coping
with the problems of getting settled in
civilian life, candidates from their ranks
are numbered in the hundreds. 1t is a
! safe prediction that by 1948 this impress
siye spearhead will have multiplied
many times.
Already one veterans hat Is in the
presidential ring-Capt. Harold Stassen,

OF Minnesota.

Il. S. Cotton Stands Today

For Prosperity Levels; Danger EXISTS in

they believe, that the holdings of some
SPECTATORS became too heavy. When
these were released in a flood, the mar
ket naturally was depressed
Representatives of the National Cot
ton Council are now conducting sur
vey to determine, If possible, fair price
for cotton-a price that will provide an
adequate return to the planter and at
the same time allow for favorable
growth In the entire industry While
the survey is incomplete, some observers
believe price somewhere between 80
and 35 cents pound may be the
answer.
According to observers, 100000

5000, 900 bales, would leave about 10000

ing normal carryoyer of about 1000, 900

Contrasts With 5.5-3 Agreement Set Up
Following World War I
By Sierid Arne

That sort of ambush the United States
seems determined to avoid this time.
There are now much closer ties between
the State Department and the armed
forces, and evidence that the State
Department prefers it that way.
In addition to the fighting ships
which the United States could use to-
day, there are the bases, many more
and farther afield, than we had before
World War II: Hawaii, Guam-Saipan,
the Marshails, the Ryukyus, the Phil
ippines, Manus. Adak, Attu. Dutch Har-
Dor, Kodiak, Argentia and the Carib-
bean.
Their importance was summed up by
Admiral Sherman before congressional
committee when he said, THE feet Is
now cut to the conditions of the world
as we now know them
He has said, "If you control the seas
you can put selected forces in selected
places for local superiority. For example,
we fought all across the Pacific to place
our air power in Saipan, where it could
be effective against Japan"
The best summing up of the changed
viewpoint was made by Secretary of the
Navy Forrestal before the Senate Naval
Committee in February. He was testi-
flying to justify the Nays large request
for money.
He said. THE means of waging sue
cessful war must be in the hands of
those who hate war"
To gauge what has happened to ma
tional thinking, that statement should
be compared with the 81 slogan of
Equality OF security" -One statement
takes for granted honor among nations.
The other says, "If you're going to slug,
we can slug harder"

Then one morning read in the
papers that Congress had changed
the law.
80 now where am I? have
taken a loss OF well over $40 week
because my earnings are limited by
this new law to 5000 month. I'm
now making a total OF salary plus
subsistence Of $46.68 a week, which
is the top I'm allowed to make.
I'm faced with the prospect of
losing the house, in which invested
$1,000, or not eating. So will end

this and informed his colleagues.

sure wish YOU would"
As far as / know there's no way
to get q paddle to him. The new
law says any regular" overtime
now shall be counted as wages, and
therefore shall be included in the
limitations OF SITS (for vets with no
dependents) and $500 (for vets with
one or more dependents) a month.
A veteran whose regular over
time pay brings his total Of wages
plus subsistence to more than SITS
will lose his allowance to the extent
Of the difference.
II the overtime brings his total
to, say, 5000 a month, he'll lose $25
month of his allowance.
But the allowance isn't subject to
income tax, while overtime wages
are. So his net take-home pay is
smaller.
