Senator Goes Wild Sendinq Free Messages

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Sena- tors have learned that one of their colleagues sent several thousand telegrams at government expense in a single day.
 A member of the Senate appro- priations committee who declined use of his name said this case and extensive use of telegrams by 8 second senator caused the commit tee to propose a top monthly limit of 300 telegrams per senator at gov ernment expense.
 The limitation is included in the annual legislative appropriation bill awaiting senate action. The mea- sure also contains a provision to allow each senator $2500 a year for expenses in addition to his $10,Go0 annual salary.
 On the telegram subject, the ap- propriations committee was told in secret session that one senator brought a list of several thousand names to the Senate telegraphic of flee and directed that each name receive a copy of a message at government expense.
 The telegrams were in answer to a petition. It's nature was not re- vealed.

ARMY SENDING TWO
 EXPERIMENTAL TASK FORCES TO ALA5kA

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Army underscored its interest in the Arctic short route between Eu- rope and America Saturday with an announcement that special task forces will make new tests in Alaska and the Aleutians this winter of tactics, weapons and equipment for sub-zero weather.
 Some 4,500 ground troops, who will begin assembling next month, will test tanks, self-propelled guns, radar, clothing and other items of military gear under all possible winter combat conditions"
 The Air Forces disclosed earlier that a squadron of converted B. 29 long range bombers has been assigned to Alaska to make fre- quent weather flights over the Arc tic, termed by ranking military men the worlds most strategic stretch of geography in an age of atom bombs and 10000 mile planes.
 Task Force "Frigid", one of the ground force units, will operate seven months from October 1 un- til next April 30 from Fairbanks, Alaska, where temperatures as low as 66 below zero have been rec orded.
 "Williwaw" Force will base at Adak in the Aleutians. where fogs are frequent and where freakish storms blow.
 A third task force, Frost will test equipment under more tenn rerate climate conditions at Camp Mccoy, Wis.
 Troops from all ground arms will be included in each force, with volunteers given preference. Some of the equipment already has been altered in the light of findings from this springs "Muskox" expedition

COMEDY FEATURE
 NOW SHOWING
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Practically Yours" is practically perfect for three reasons It has Claudette Colbert and Fred Mac Murray as its co-stars, it's Nit chell Leisen production and the pie lures screenplay is by Norman Krasna. This feature is at the 20th Century
 Comedy keynotes the production and it's list of featured players reads like filmdoms funny-man rcs- ter for it includes Robert Benchley, Gil Lamb, Cecil Kellaway and Mix hail Rasumny. Each is a specialist when it comes to tickling the aud ience's funnybone and all combine to lend Fred and Claudette able support in every scene.
 The fun tegins almost immediate ly when MacMurray finds he's the nations Navy air hero upon his return to New York on leave. He also finds he's regarded as Claud- ette's boy-triend through little misunderstanding. The complica- tions, as can be imagined, bring on cycle of fantastic events which finally are smoothed out at the end. Lambs portrayal of a slightly su- perior personality with an inferior ity complex is a sight to behold, and keeps the customers shaking with undisguised laughter.
 Fred and Claudette have to keep up appearances for the public's sake and are continually seen together in romantic poses. Alone, however, it's different story. Each is sure the other is not exactly the type of person one should marry and the problem keeps getting worse and worse-and then things happen.

'0UR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES"
 NOW AT CAPITOL

Margaret O'Brien, teamed with Edward G. Robinson, is in a grip ping story called Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" currently on the screen at the Capitol.
 The little star can make you laugh and can make you cry just as she wishes, by simple change in her expression or a particular infection in her voice. Working with that grand veteran actor, Robinson, Margaret is at her very best as a seven-year- old in a small Wisconsin town who understands the dangerous road which the self centered men and women are talk ing to inevitable destruction.
 Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" is true-to-life drama. It is peopled with true-to-life characters. Every single actor was hand-picked for his role. James Craig is just right as the young editor of the local news paper who is Margaret's strongest ally, franceS Gl1tord IS fme as the new school teacher from Milwaukee who cannot become accustomed to the small town; Agnes Morehead plays Robinson's wife in a down. to-earth fashion, and Jackie Butch" Jenkins is one continuous delight as Margaret's cousin and playmate.
 Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" is full of drama and humor and en- tertainment. One moment you'll find yourself crying, and the next you'll be laughing through your tears. Truly this is the kind of pie ture which has so many award win ming possibilities that it is hard to select any one person or any one thing for individual praise.

The leadership of Otis Samuel

cultural prosperity to two power
ty-ridden counties in Georgia.

the subject of an article by OK

for November.
The Digest article, condensed
from the Progressive, tells how
O'Neal brought him from penni-
less obscurity to the position he
occupies today. Both his parents
had been born in slavery; O'Neal
himself worked is way through

O'Neal fought the farmers to
diversity their crops rather than
depend on cotton alone. He found
idle land which tenant farmers
could buy, and arranged loans
for them. He organized his ter
itory into communities. with a kew
farmer as leader of each.

Perplexed-I am a senior in
high school. 1 manage to hear
the wolf call sometimes but my
problem is why can't 1 hold my
man? Sure, I can get a boyfriend
with the charms most girls have
but after that something goes
wrong. Sometimes the boys cut
out because of someone else. Some
times 1 am responsible for losing
them because L say something SO
smart. I hope you can help me
because if this keeps on I may
be an old maid.
Ans: Enjoy a few years of fun
and popularity before concentra-
ting your efforts toward winning
a husband. You have no difficulty
attracting the fellows which is a
mighty important factor in your
favor. You must learn to be more
tactful in your dealings with the
opposite sex and use diplomacy
in handling them. Keep them suf-
ficiently interested in you but
guessing. Be entertaining and con
genial and keep conversation
flowing but never centered around
yourself. Make the boys enjoy
your company and they will come
back.
AWC-For a long time I have
been enjoying your column in the
paper. I am heavily burdened at
this time and need advice. I have
been living with this man for G
months and we are in a house to
ourselves. His sister wants to live

Ans: Your position there with
this man is extremely uncertain
as it is and the first change in
your affairs should be a wedding
if you expect to continue together.
If you were married to him and
felt at all secure, you would be
able to. overlook his present Cir
cumstances. Get your own affairs
in order before considering the
ether problem.

on my vacation and since here I
met a man who is married too.
He is nice to me but my hus-
band is also. Do you think I had
better 60 home or wait? This
man seems to be wild about me.
And if my husband should hear
about this man, do you think he
would quit me?
Ans: Pack your buds and get
back home. You were sent on a
vacation and not an adventurous
