Wallace Challenged
To Speak Out on New
9-Nation Comintern
BY the Associated Press

Top leaders of Americans for
Democratic Action (ADA) asserting
that European Communists have
mobilized to destroy the Marshall
Plan and with 1t the liberal and
socialist leaders of Europe, chal-
lenged Henry A. Wallace last night
to speak out on this vital ISSUE"
Describing itself as liberal, anti
Communist organization, ADA called
on Mr.. Wallace and the Progressive
Citizens of America (PCA) to clarity
their stand in the light of the newly
formed bloc of Communist leaders
from nine European nations who
met recently in Poland.
ADA said in statement that the
Moscow-sponsored bloc has de
clared war on the democratic lead
ers of Western Europe" and that
American liberals must now choose
sides.
The statement was signed by Will
son Wyatt, national chairman, for.
mer Federal Housing expediter;
Leon Henderson, former OPA chief;
ADA Vice Chairman Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr., and Mayor Hubert
H. Humphrey of Minneapolis.
"ADA has differed with Pea in
maintaining that genuine progress
sives cannot cooperate with Com
munlsts, that Communists would
eventually betray the genuine pro-
gressive cause" they said.
THE Comintern now states that
tenet in even sharper terms, deny
ing any basis for cooperation be-
tween Communists and European
progressives, and labelling leaders Of
non Communist left in Europe as its
chief enemies"

Dorothy Dix Says

Old people never realize that their
children do not want them for con-
slant companions, and that Tom
and Sally and their wives or hus-
bands are bored to death with hav-
ing to listen to fathers and moth
er's oft-repeated stories, and that
they are not pining for the old peo-
pies advice about everything they
do and don't do.
And 1t makes one Of the most
pathetic problems in the world, be-
cause the good children cannot hurt
the old folks feelings by shunting
them OH on their selfish brothers
and sisters, who will let them see
how unwelcome they are. And so
it happens in nearly every family
one son or daughter becomes the
family goat.
You are being sacrificed to the
old man just because you have been
so good to him, but don't weary in
well-doing. At his age, he will soon
pass to his reward and all the bal
ance Of your life you will be glad to
remember that you had the strength
to endure, and that you made his
last days happy with your kindness.
But inasmuch as you have gotten
so tired and nervous, why not take
a trip? Do something that win di-
vert, rest and let you come back to
your job ready to take up your
burden once more. But you are a
wise woman to have made provision
for your old age 30 that you will
not be . burden on your own chill

Stars Food Editor
To Tour Army Posts

Violet Faulkner, food editor Of
The Evening Star, has been ap-
pointed . temporary food CONSUL
tant to Maj. Gen. Thomas B.
L.arkin, Quartermaster General.
Mrs. Faulkner is leaving today
on a tour OF Army posts on the
Pacific Coast, and will speak on
the Army's new food program at
meetings which the Army will
conduct for women interested in
postwar conditions for men In
the service.
These meetings will be held in
Salt Lake City, Seattle, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, with
representatives OF nationally
known important groups and or
ganizations.
Mrs. Faulkner,s selection for
this appointment comes as a
result of her interest in the
Army,s recent announcement of
its program to give greater in
centive through increased pay
and grades to men engaged in
its food preparation and service.
She has been visiting the schools
being developed at certain nearby
camps, and feels that the in
formation she has gathered
should be carried to the women
of the country, that they may
better understand the problems
involved in feeding men In the
armed forces, and how those
problems are being solved.

Dear Miss Dix: My husbands
father has lived with us for nine
years and is now 81 years old, and
they have been long years to me.
He is a good old man and I have
been good to him and patient with
him and have never shown him
what I feel, but now I have come
to the breaking point where I feel
that I will 60 crazy If I can't get
some relief from having to take
care of him. For, like all old people,
he is welded to his little ways. He
must have exactly the same things
to eat every day, cooked the same
way. He tells the same stories a
million times. He Is careless about
bathing and changing his clothes.
And I am just so tired of it all that
I have come to the point OF scream
ing and pulling my hair.
We need q rest from each other
but he refuses to go and stay with
his other sons, who are both mar
ried. What can I do?-MRS. M. L. B.
P.S-The old gentleman has no
idea of how I feel. /. have joined q
good sorority, so that when I grow
old won't have to be q burden on
my children and their mates.
Arswer-Eyidently you are the
victim of your virtues, because your
being real daughter to this old man
and making his last days comfort
able and happy, without ever letting
him suspect what burden he is to
you, is the reason that he insists on
staying with you, instead Of dividing
his time between you and his other
daughters-in-law.
