ly rinsed and sun-dried, handker-
chiefs should need no bleaching
which is apt to be hard on the fab
ric. Boiling should be necessary
only in case of colds or contagious
diseases, and then it is better to use
paper handkerchiefs which can be
discarded.
Pin handkerchiefs to the line on
top of towel and leave them only
until dry. Flapping in the wind
causes wear and tear.
CARE. The man of the house is
likely to be hard on his handker-
chiefs. Wherever possible persuade
him to use paper or cotton handker-
chiefs for everyday and save his
linen handkerchiefs for pocket dis
play.

Luncheon Meet Tip:

Here's a tip about the so-called
luncheon meats which you will want
to remember. If your purchase is
labeled meat, it will not contain
added cereal.
But according to government re-
gulations, pork pudding, skinless
frankfurters, bologna, salami - none
of them labeled meat may con-
tain as much as 312 percent cereal.
The added cereal is nutritious, of
course, but it's we'll to know that
you are buying less meat and that
the price is commonly lower than
on other meats for this reason.

Handkerchief Cure:

Handkerchief Cure:
Fine linen handkerchief are pre-
cious these days when linen and
other fine fabrics come high in
the stores. To make handkerchiefs
last longer, textile scientists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture Of
fer some suggestions about buying
and care:
BUYING. The more even and
compact the weave and weight of
! the handkerchief, the greater its
chance of survival. Embroidered mi
tials, open work and hand hem
stitching add to the appearance and
cost and unfortunately also make the
handkerchief more fragile. The first
ing, where the fabric is thinner, or
around the initials where the en-
broidery is so much heavier than the
surrounding linen. Hand-rolled edges
are less sturdy than stitched hens.
LAUNDERING. Wash handker-
chiefs before they are badly spoiled
SO that they need little or no rub
bling to become clean An hours
soak in cool suds will loosen much
of the soil and save strenuous wash
ing.
If handkerchief are washed in the
machine along with other clothes,
it is a good idea to tie them in a
loose cheesecloth bag and let them
go through both washer and wrin-
ger in bag. This saves them from
wear in washing and from the
chance of getting caught on win
ger rolls.

British and u. ). Differ
On ; Major Policies
Despite Harmony Aim
By Sierid Arne
Associated Press Staff Writer


Sir Oliver Franks, the new Brit
ish ambassador here, tells q little
story:
A young man was taking his
exams for a job in the British For
eign Office. He was asked what
are the three most important things
in the world?"
God; he wrote, "love and Anglo
American relations
He got the job-and the story got
laugh when Sir Oliver told it
here. But behind the humor Is a
very real situation.
For the British and Americans
who are trying to tug a peace into
shape, Russia Is only of second i'm
portance for the long pull.
Their great worry is to keep Amer
leans and British pulling together
in harness, to keep down irritations
among the English-speaking popu-
lations and If possible to prevent
them.
Three Major Worries.
They have three major worries
right now: The future of Palestine,
the future of the sterling bloc, the
future of world trade. They have
little doubt that the differences can
be solved. but some of them are
taking long, long talks.
/. Palestine.
Secretary of State Marshall first
proposed that Palestine be divided
between Jews and Arabs. When
Jewish-Arab warfare broke out the
United States suggested United
Nations supervision of the area. The
idea was coolly received in the UN,
and the United States State De-
partment is sticking to its belief
that the Jews must have a home
land. The United States has recog-
nized the new Jewish state of Israel
Gen. Marshall never stated any
basic reason for the American be-
lief in Jewish state. But American
Jews have been determined such a
state should exist. Some 5000, 900 of
their religion were killed in Europe
during World War II.
Oppose Vacuum"
At first the British opposed the
idea, but now they think that Israel
is fact which can't be turned back
Their emphasis now is on the exact
borders of the Jewish state and on
who controls the Arabian part of
Palestine. They favor King Abdul
lah of Transjordan for the job.
Their spokesmen here say mo
vacuum can be permitted to exist"
in the non-Jewish part of Palestine
because of the infiltration of Com
munism through the whole Middle
East.
In that area the British are wor-
ried about many things-about Com
munism, about Middle East oil, about
their investments in the area and
about keeping the Moslems of the
Middle East friendly to the western
democracies.
There are sign the United States
is also interested in some compro-
mise that will keep the Arab coun-

tries In the western column and
keep Communism out Of the area.
Negotiators say the British and
Americans are moving closer to-
gether" for their mutual security.
Sterling Bloc an Issue.
2. The sterling bloc
This is money argument.
Under the sterling bloc arrange
ment the Bank of England decides
who can spend the American dollars
that come into any part of the Brit
ish Commonwealth (except Canada)
and into Ireland, Iraq, and Burma.
Membership in the bloc is voluntary
Canada doesn't belong. Egypt did
but withdrew.
The arrangement sounds arbitrary
but British spokesmen say the bank
often awards dollars from part OF
the bloc to another part which for
the time being needs help. The
central aim is to keep the whole
bloc on an even keel for military
security reasons.
American exporters have never
liked the ideal They contend that
it makes it easier for bloc members
to buy from each other than to
hunt new markets in, for example
the United States.
World Trade Real Worry.
The United States Government
has not insisted on a breakup of
the sterling bloc, but two years ago
it wrote the British loan a proviso
whereby the British had to swap
their money on demand for Ameri-
can dollars, beginning last July.
The British did. But so many ma
tions demanded dollars for what
they sold the British that shortly
the British themselves were short
of dollars. They had to stop. The
American Government gave its
blessing.
The British argue that the en-
tire sterling bloc only has the sum
total of dollars it earns by selling
in the United States and that in

3. World trade
This is the real worry. Both Brit
ish and American policy makers
forsee years ahead when British and
American sellers will be battling fol
the same sales In a third nation.
British here argue that Britain
(packed with 5000, 900 people, must
sell its manufactured goods abroad
to buy the food it can't raise al
home. They argue that Americans
raise their own food and that there
fore sales abroad are not a matter
of life and death for the United
States but only matter of more
profits.

wistful boys, bandaged boys, philo-
sophical boys and embittered boys.
They have given more, for us and
our safety, than those who fell. They
risked their lives for us, and though
those lives were not taken, they
were as surely destroyed as if they
had been. And now we forget them.
Take Care of One or Two.
Near you, there is very probably
a hospital for manned and invalided
men. This is not a request that you
attempt to amuse the hundreds of
them, still in their glorious twenties,
who are Willing away the long days
and weeks as mere names on
charts; their hopes, their futures
gone. As hundreds, as mass, they
have good food, care, clothes, every
thing that organization can do. But
as individual men they long for per-
sonal contacts, for friendship in
some home where their own per-
sonalities can find a little express
sion. Their enthusiasm for even the
simplest sort of home life will touch
you to the heart. Their gratitude for
friendship-which, after all, is one
of the priceless and precious things
of lfe-wil repay you a thousand
times over for every minute you
give them.
No, don't attempt to do it for hum
dreds, do it for two. Do it for one.
Ask the head nurse for one who is
convalescent, whose term in the
ward is nearly up, if you like. Then,
If the experiment is not a success,
you know he soon will be discharged
from the hospital anyway. BY that
time you'll know few more, you'll
have found the one who needs just
what your family can give him, and
whom you need.
If you've a vacant chair, let him
fill it. While these boys are hospital
lied and friendless and lonely that
vacant chair at your table and mine
is surely an unspoken rebuke.

STITCH IN TIME

Many housewives are prone to
neglect their housework during busy
seasons, but that means double or
triple duty when the work really is
done. Home management special
lists advise housewives to devote a
little time each day to things that

ting the entire house 60 until it's

specialists advise washing pair or

By KATHLEEN NORRIS

A FEW weeks ago, in a mid
n western city, was given
l \ a lift to my hotel by a
charming young matron who
apologized for the crumbs and
peanut shells that Uttered the
back of her car.
'The boys love them," she ex-
planned.
"The boys?"
Soldiers" she said. ''Boys
from the hospital. Life cases"
'But bread and peanuts?"
"Oh, those" she said laughing.
''Those are for the ducks and the
elephants. They feed them, at the
zoo."
That was all l heard then. The
rest got at the hospital itself, from
the superintendent of nurses.
Little Mrs. Brown" she said.
Eyes, she is very faithful. There
ought to be hundred like her. But
she is the only one.
"She is the only one," the nurse
went on, "who comes regularly and
takes our boys driving. She takes
them where they want to 60, to see
the sights from the mountain, or out
to the zoo and the lake. If they want
to see special show, she takes
them there. Christmas Day she and
her husband - himself wearing a
Purple Heart-had three to dinner;
they played pencil games afterward,
and the lucky three haven't stopped
talking about it yet.
II don't have to tell you," said
nurse Williams, that the authori-
ties and the Red Cross do every
thing they can. But that is imper-
sonal, of course. A boy is taken to
the dentist, or a block of opera or
concert tickets are carefully dis
tributed. Magazines are sent in,
Christmas is well-remembered. But
all that is impersonal, and you don't
know how these boys hunger for
personal contacts. Why. Mrs. Brown
tells me that. sometimes they are all
,chattering together, like children.
Happier in Hospitals.
"You see, lots of our boys are so
MANNED or so dis6gured that they
don't want to 60 home. The contrast
between what they were-young and
strong and happy, just few years
ago-and what they are now-blind,
lame, painful to look upon-is too
much for them. They come back to
the hospital on some pretext, an
other operation, more treatments;
they are happier here. But they long
for friends, friends who never knew
them in the old days, friends who
will take them as they are.
1--WE have one boy here who often
is asked to one of the humblest
homes of the city for a Sunday din
ner. A humble home, yes, but with
a mother and father and boys and
girls in it. They make him one of
them for just few happy hours
every week, he knows they like him.
The first time he went he came
back breathless. They let me hold
the baby while they did the Dishes
he said, over and over. Everyone in
the hospital knew that these good
plain people trusted him, and that
the baby wasn't frightened by the
poor patched face. So
After our talk, Mrs. Williams let
me look into a ward. But I couldn't
stand that long. It wasn't that the
boys were dreadful or frightening,
nothing like that. It was that they
we're so normal, just lonely boys
amusing themselves with old maya
zines, games and the radio. Thin
