OCCASIONALLY a WON

OCCASIONALLY a woman
is obliged to put up with
~ conditions that are actu-
ally unbearable. Not half as
often as you might think, read
ing the flimsy reasons for
divorces, or listening to the
tales of imaginary troubles
that pour into the ears of psy-
cho-analyists.
But now and then circumstances
conspire to make woman's life
really uncomfortable, and however
desperately she casts about for a
way out, no way seems open. Such
a woman is Georgia Olcott, who
writes me from Atlantic City. Geor-
gia is "a; her family consists of her
husband, Roy, who is %; her son
by an earlier marriage, Jim, who
is IL; and baby boy of two. Also
with her are her husbands sister,
who is his business partner, and
her own mother, 70, paralyzed and
helpless.
my first husband, who was as
near perfection as human soul be,
died when Jim was g." writes Geor-
gia, land l went to work. That was
before Mama's stroke; she took care
of the house and baby, and we were
ideally happy. When war work
came along was one of those al
ready trained, and made good mon
ey; had saved about twenty thou
sand dollars when I was persuaded
to put it Into what looked like a
safe real estate deal, in a company
of which my present husband was
manager. That is how met Roy;
we were married and he went away
with the army to the south seas.
If had only bought my mother an
annuity with this money every
thing would be different now, but as
it is, the business was mismanaged
while Roy was away, his sister
eventually telling me that my in
vestment was complete loss. It
was at this time that Freddy was
born, and my mother stricken.

but for none more than that between

this result.
Brought His Sweetheart Home.
"When Roy came back we had
fallen upon hard times, and this,
added to his own depression and
WEAKNESS, after the war, made our
home a most uncomfortable place.
Heaviest blow of all was that our
boy, then a year old, is the victim Of
a fearful disease, and will never be
like other children. When I add to
this that Roy came back from the
west accompanied by a woman he
met during his service years, and
that he and his sister and this wom-
an are inseparable, that I get no

My mother does her best, whatever
work she can do from her chair is

no secret of the fact that they find

Freshman Senators
Are Major Force

We were sitting in the radio gal
lery Of the United States senate. Be
low us, six or seven senators were
on their feet. fidgeting to be heard.
I've never seen anything like it,"
my friend was muttering, never in
my IL years on Capitol HILL"
"This touching concern for the
housewives?" I asked.
NO." my friend explained, IT
mean the freshman senators In this
class. The Class Of At. I've never
seen such activity among any group
Of baby senators before-the way

ing their points so effectively, and
so on"
I pointed out that we had watched
ferment among brand-new lawmak-
ers before. When Arthur Vanden-
berg came to the senate in 1928, for
example, he was the sparkplug Of
group of newcomers who called
themselves 1.-THE Young Turks"
And when the present Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach was in the SEN
ate, ne and group of other new
senators teamed up to break Huey
Longs filibuster.
True, my friend admitted,
there's always a certain amount
Of "revolt." But never before
have there been so many articu-
late young legislators in one
class, and never have they
made themselves so thoroughly
felt in such a short time.

he went on, who hasn't participated
in debate, or actually been a major
force in pushing through bills. And
they've been here less than four
months.
It used to be the custom that
freshman senators were seen and
not heard. They were supposed to
sit around for a year or maybe even
two years, absorbing procedure and
protocol, speaking when they we're
spoken to. But not the "Class of
At"
My friend explained this unusual
activity among the newcomers as
due to two reasons.
One: There are so many new
comers-16 on the Republican side
alone. This means Republicans had
to put newcomers on subcommit-
tees. subcommittee are small

Dor records voted against the Hart ley Bill: Dick Welch of San Fran cisco, Gordon Garfield of Pater- son, N J. John Butler and Ed Elsaesser, both of Buffalo, Engel of Muskegon, Michigan; William Lemke of North Dakota and Fred Smith, former Mayor of President Harding's home town, Marion, Ohio
 These are the 22 Republicans, who for local reasons or perhaps because they remembered that it was only ten short years since bloody Harlan County, Republic Steel's Chicago massacre, Andrew Melons coal and iron police and Henry Ford's strong-arm men. de- cided that even though labor had overplayed its hand, Congress should not remedy one wrong by committing another.

Members of Congress apparently serious in their talk about reducing government expenditures and reducing taxes Tax reductions promised and probably will be carried out then follows that taxes are to be reduced expenditures must also be reduced.
 Although the cries of Federal agency heads are loud it remains to be seen just how much the various departments will suffer as Congress attempts to cut them back to a point nearer the prewar level. But to hear them yell you would think the end of the world had come.
 Here in Alaska there have been some strong com pans because the Territorial Legislature re- fused to double taxes to double the budget Numerous dire threats have been voiced It was charged right away by the Governor of Alaska that the Legislature had created an impending deficit of more than three million dollars However since then the Board of Administration has issued freeze order instructng various agencies to limit expenditures Perhaps this is what the economy minded members of the Legisa ture desired-to force some measure Of economy by refusing to impose additional taxes enough for spend ing spree.
 Actually the Territory may not be as bad off as many would believe Some tax bills were passed and taxes were raised. There are more taxes on the books now than ever before in the history of the Territory.
 A biennial budget that s4404i6 only four years ago has grown to more than sl0o0oo0o today It has been apparent to us for time that this rapid increase Territorial expenditures which has fostered and fed under the administration of the present Governor would some day reach the end of its rope

 Had budget-paring Republican Congress any thing to say in the matter, may be sure that MT. Attlee and his colleagues would be accused of unconscionabe waste and extravaganza Orators would arise to point out-and rightly so-that Sponsors faere queen Chaucers Canterbury pilgrims and Nal lory's knights assembled ill Camelot had need for money bought words
 Thunderng philppics would cite Bede's ecclesi- astics Shakespeare adversely -charactered kings Hak luyt's voyagers and all other good Engshmen- through Dickens mired poor to Waugh and Huxeys frustrated moderns-who spoke and wrote a great language that never cost them much two penny copper. The only fee demanded that they enrich it for those yet bring it tongues tip And this they did valiantly. There now are 4l4925 words in the Oxford English Dictionary ready for any who will master them
 But it is unlikely that any back-bencher will rise in Commons to protest the governments puny ac- quisition. After all of Winston Churchills pet ideas that Britain should take over Professor c. | OgdenS Basic English and teach it to the world. The Labor government simply has shown itself in agreement with the eloquent old Tory on the de- srabitv of using this awkward but easily learned to spread British trade Where there reliance on grenader's musket, later the steam engine, and then on London gold, hope is pinned selected nouns and verbs. And who can say that the circumlocuations of Basic English may not sell more Sheffield silver and Manchester steel and Clydesde hulls to the Turk the heather and the Chinee?

ordinarily high taxes imposed by war after the war had ended
 few years ago few Aaskans dreamed that they would be asked to increase taxes in the postwar Most people felt secure in the thought that the end the war would bring relief and all of the other things that go with it.
 The action of the Territorial Legislature in forcing the various Territorial agencies to stick to budgets approxmating those of the last two three bien- niums by simply refusing to pass and increase old has brought forth dire predictions by the Governor, as well by one Territorial official the latter claiming the following:
 By next February, unless remedy is found, schools will have to shut their doors the Pioneers Home at Sitka will be compelled to close down allow off of dependent needy children will suffer the Territorys health program and other essential activities of government will be suspended because of lack of funds which results from the Legislative debace this year"
 Such remarks seem little on the frantic side to The Territory will get along
 Twelve years ago it got along biennial budget of s2,8l4222. Eight years ago it got along with $4 76O655 Four years ago it got long with s4404 46l. Two years ago it got along with $6,744,862 This ben nium it will probably have to get along from $8, 100000 to ssoOOOOO
 If the Board of Administration a little of the common sense the people of Alaska expect the bers to have the Territory will be able to get by for the next two years without too much suffering.

 For many of these, a pro-labor vote is anything but popular with the folks who have the power to le-elect or reject in l948, How ever, in addition to their personal convictions. here is one factor which some were gambling on. the political pendulum in the USA swings rapidly
 American labor history has al most invariably followed the Bri- tish-usually about 25 years behind. And in Britain, where the political pendulum also oscillates rap dly, it was a fact that as late as 1927 British labor was all washed up. h AliC otIAN@ d1 ot4 mt NiiiSAi ettAtii4lJb ed to paralyze all England labor had badly overplayed it's hand. The miners union which began the strike, was almost wiped out, and British conservatives settled down to long. uninterrupted rule But they too, overplayed their hand.
 And just three years later-l930- a Labor Prime Minister, Ramsay Macdonald, was ensconced in No. lO Downing Street
 Again, the political pendulum swung, and a few years later the Conservative Baldwin Government came back into power
 Today, ten years later, a full La bor Government is in the saddle
 The political pendulum may swing the same way in the United States, that was why certain south- ern Democrats stood up last week to be counted for labor despite reaction from home.

Even more interesting, however, was the lineup of the 22 Repub- lican bolters. They were under ter rilic pressure. Not only had the Republican leaders urged and de- manded that there be a unified party vote, but the p bolters were hombarded by business leaders and chambers of commerce at home Al so they knew how forgetful labor can be-as witness the letter of endorsement once given by AFL President William Green to New Jerseys Congressman Fred Hartley author of the tough labor bill.
