"Women in their homes can do
more to further objectives of the
National Conference of Christians

New Year Will ADD
To Age Of Jap Girls
Hunting Husbands
by the Assoeiotsd Prsss

TOKYO, Dec. 11.-An the Jap
anese girls who are hunting hus-
bands are mighty worried because
every last one Of them will become
a full year older, come January first.
In Japan, new calendar year
adds q year to everyone's age. A
baby is considered one year old the
day he is born; and If he happens
to be born the last day Of December,
he becomes two years old next day.
The information about the wor-
ried ladies scurrying for year's-end
husbands comes from one Masao
Sasaki, a 33-year-old bachelor who
works in a private mating agency
operating under the name Mar
riage Salvation" And some Of the
girls, Mr.. Sasaki says, really wants
to be saved.
Mr.. Sasaki had overlooked the
new year-age angle until one OF his
clients-who was losing that doll
like shyness that made Japanese
women so charming before the
war-told him to hurry up and get
her . husband.
Many Girls Worried.
"Ill be one year older with the
new year." she said, "and one little
year can ruin a girl aspirant's am
billions"
by gee" said Mr.. Sasaki, who
turns a sharp bit Of postwar Eng
lish these days, II never thought OF
that. Maybe that's why I'm 50 busy
right now"
Mr.. Sasaki thumbed his index
cards Of applicants ready to pay
solid cash fees for the right sort Of
mates. Mostly, they're people in
financial difficulty as the result of
the war. The old, solid families still
do their own matchmaking.
He read aloud:
Wanted, wife-one with 100000
yen 100000 assets. Appearance
disregarded. Applicant :. 40 years
old, open-hearted and trying hard
to re-establish his business.
Student Seeks Wife.

One woman wanted . husband
with q three-room house in Tokyo.
Hopeless" said Mr.. Sasak. "She's
~, with parents and four brothers,
He shuddered. "The whole family
wants to filter into the bridegroom's
house."
Mr.. SasaN said he gets mates for
about 20 per cent Of his applicants.
Saddest of all, he said, are ap-
plications from war widows; they
need men to care for their, children
BY now, he has the mating in
stincts Of both men and women in
Japan pretty well classified-like
this:
20 years old-want mate healthy
and pleasant.
80 years old-want a hard-work-
ing husband or good housewife.
40 years old-want money, even
II children go with it.

joint Hearings Studied
To Speed Action on
District Supply Bill
Horon Discussing Plan
For Combined Sessions
With Senator Dworshok
By Don S. Worren

Possibilities of holding joint
House Senate hearings on the
Districts $95, 900, 900 budget are
being explored by District lead
ers in Congress. y
Representative Horar1, Republican,
of Washington, in charge of the
District 5. ,plv bill for the House,
said today joint hearings "are a
possibility"
He said he was discussing the
plan with Senator Dworshak, Re-
publican, of Idaho. who heads the
District subcommittee of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee.
Mr.. Horan said he regarded the
plan as one which might save con-
siderable time for Congress. Since
appropriation bills must originate
on the House side, the only tech
nical requirement he could see was
that, as chairman of the District
subcommittee, he would have to con-
duct the hearings.
Each committee would act sepa-
rately on the bill, with action COM
ing first on the House side. Mr..
Horan also said it was probable
supplementary hearings would have
to be held when the bill reaches the
Senate on any requests for changes
in the House totals.
Even so, he said 1t would seem
worth while as matter of time
saving
The suggestion is in keeping with
the plan followed by the House and
Senate District Committees in
studies on the big new District tax
program. Joint hearings on this
were held by the fiscal subcommit-
tees of the two District groups.
These have been concluded and the
drafting of bill is. about to start.
A definite date for the start of
hearings on the supply bill has not
yet been fixed. They are to begin,
however, by the middle of May.
There are indications the Horan
subcommittee plans to make sub
stantial cuts in the record-breaking
sos, 600 900 requests.

AIvord Believes Slash
Will Help Lower Debt
And Avert Initiation
By the Associoied Press

Ellsworth C. Alvord of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce asked Senators today to
approve the House bill cutting
income taxes. He called the
measure constructive an d
statesmanlike."
Mr.. Alvord is chairman of the
Chambers federal finance commit
tee. He testified before the Senate
Finance Committee which now is
studying House-approved legislation
to reduce income taxes by 80 per
cent in lower income brackets and
by about 20 per cent in others.
Chairman Millikin has advised
other members that he wants the
committee to make a decision this
week on the question whether taxes
should be reduced.
President Truman is opposing any
tax cut at this time. He says that
instead of reducing taxes, the Gov
ernment should apply any money it
takes in above its needs to reduc-
ton of its debt.
Says Debt Can Be Cut Too.
Mr.. Alvord contended to the Sen
ate group that the Nation can cut
taxes and reduce its debt at the
same time.
He argued: -.--. .
"A stable program of debt retire
ment will be aided by tax reduction,
which willshelp to sustain a high
level of economic activity. Keeping
taxes so high as to impair incentive
is striking at dynamic and vigor-
Gus economy and endangering the
establishment of a supportabl debt
