M. L. - My husband and I have
been married three years. Every
time he gets mad he gets the gun
after me. We are apart now. He
sent me away the last of May We
bought two houses and I want to
get my part. How must I 60 about
it as | am afraid of him7
Ans: Secure the services of an
attorney and have him intercede
for you. That is the only way you
will be able to reach a settlement
as you can't do business with
your husband. He will refuse to
discuss the subject If you approach
him.

est with him and If he finds you

B. M. D. - You have given me
true guidance and strength in the
past | married five years ago and
never have been happy with him.
Nothing would do him but for
me to mortgage my home. Now
he refuses to pay of the mortgage
and I am too old to work. Tell
me what to do?
Ans: Rent out part Of your
home and pay off the mortgage
with the income you receive. II
will inconvenience you to some
degree to have people in your
home but it is the only way you
can hope to raise the money to
pay off this indebtedness unless
you arrange to go to work.

An: She has a mate - it's
wrong to try to come between
them. Any woman who cheats on
her husband is not very good
marital risk. You're wasting your
time running around with a mar
ried woman - search for a mate

COOP WAR INDUSTRY PAID
REBATE TO UNCLE SAM

During the war, coop factory
in SheIbyvIIe, Ind, which had been
making farm machinery, got big
order from the government for a
war weapon.
Soon after the next January I, the
US. treasury was somewhat fIabber-
gasted to receive a check for $45, 1000.
Uncle Sam, as a patron, had auto
maticalIy become a member of this
coop, and the check was his "pat-
ronage refund on the years work,
since the factory worked at cost for
its member-oWners.

the share of national output that was
exported was only around 8 per cent.
$40 Million Jobs At Stake
Some to 6 million jobs have been
supported directly and indirectly by
foreign trade Substantial proportions
of basic items have been going abroad.
These include freight cars (53.5%o),
motor trucks and buses (2O9e), rails
1850, rolled steel products (106%).
With foreign demand weakening be-
cause of lack of dollars workers will
pay in layoffs because actual and po-
tential surpluses cannot be sold o
other countries.
For the economy as a whole, the
downturn in exports has serious i'm
plications. During the first half of
this year business buying of goods for
stocking up purposes and to fill sup
ply pipelines fell off sharply and con-
sumner buying was held down by
dwindling purchasing power. 1t was
foreign buying that largely took up
the slack.
Even with future large-scale govern
ment assistance, the peak in foreign
buying has admittedly been passed.
The economic motivation behind the
Marshall plan is the need to provide
a pump-primer for foreign trade, since
a sharp drop in volume would deal a
serious blow to the American economy.
The difficulty that conrronts for :

They have to make good the difference /
by depicting their gold and dollar re-
sources. With foreign countries scrap
ing the bottom of the barrel for dollars,
they would be helped if American i'm

Instead, there has been a
drop in imports since May of this year
that has paralleled the more spectac-
ular fall in exports.
