It would be entirely correct to a

Where to Soy Goodnight
Dear Mrs. Post: A young woman
I've been seeing frequently lives
on the third floor of an apartment
building. We've discussed and dis
agreed as to where I should leave
her when saying goodnight and
it is too late to be invited in. I
think I should go up with her to
her own front door; she believes
downstairs.
Answer: In a building that has
"a doorman or a Serviced elevator,

you would leave her downstairs.
But in an unprotected building or
one with a self-service elevator, 1t
would be best to see her up to her
own door.
Changing Your Name
Dear Mrs. Post: We are having
our name legally changed because
it is of central European origin
and too difficult for every one to
pronounce and spell. How should
we go about notifying our friends
and the trade?
Answer: The quickest and SIM
plest way of telling people is to
send out formal announcements:

they and their children
have taken the family name of

House Thumbs Nose At Senate; Takes Vacation

WASHINGTON (P) - House members headed homeWard today for a 25-day vacation - without the approval of the Senate.
 The House members won't re- turn until Sept. 2l, except for a handful who will remain here to conduct formal mo business" Ses- sions twice a week. Those are necessary because the Senate would not agree to an outright ad- journment.
 The holiday was voted amid cheers yesterday in a simple reso- lution after members got tired of waiting for the Senate to approve a joint measure. That would have permitted House adjournm n without informal sessions in the meantime.
 we are going away anyhow" Speaker Sam Rayburn told his news conference.
 He said the Senate's action was the first time in history" as far as he could recall that one cham Der refused to agree to procedure approved by the other in respect to meeting. The action, he added, certainly does not' promote com ity between the two branches of Congress.
 The Senate is unable to leave Washington because it has more work than it can handle.
 The twice weekly House ses- Sions, every Tuesday and Friday, are necessary because the Consti- tuition does not allow one chamber to adjourn without consent of the other for more than three week days at any time. That can be done only by joint resolution.

Chinese communist troops were reported today 140 miles from Canton, nationalist provisio n l capital. They pushed to the Kwantung provincial border after capturing three cities in south western Kinagsi province. Canton is the capital of Kwanutng pro- vince.
 After cutting across mountains, the Red war machine rolled along highways leading south of Ku- Kong, an important railway point, 125 miles north of Canton.
 Observers said the communists might isolate Kukong. It is an inn pOrtant nationalist defense point. Nationalists said the communists dared not move too speedily be- cause strong nationalist forces are on their western flank.

U. s. Developing New Important Guided Missiles

WASHIN GTON, (P) - The United States is developing guild ed missiles which would both bring down enemy planes and en- able American bombers to shoot down attacking fighters.
 pr. Karl Compton. chairman of the defense departments research and development board, disclosed the new weapons last night.
 De described as exceedingly important" the air-to-air missile which a B-36 could use against speedy jet fighters. He said this weapon may well become the principal artillery of air combat"
 In a radio broadcast with atomic energy commissioner Sumner Pike, Compton listed four types of guided missiles on which U. s. scientists are at work.
 Besides the plane-carried mis- sile, he note da "surface-to-sur- face" weapon which could be used as long-range artillery. Develop ment of this weapon "is already well advanced for use at a few hundred miles range" he said.
 The anti-aircraft, or surface to-surface" missiles, Compton said, ''bid fair to become the ef- fective counter measure" from the ground against swift attacking planes.
 There also is an "air-to o-surface"

No Prospect Of
 Early Settlement Of Hawaii Strike

HONOLULU, (P) - Prospects were slim today that chief nego- tiations to settle HaWaii's 1l8-day old dock strike would be resumed immediately.
 In Washington, U. s. conciliator Cyrus Ching urged the seven struck Stevedoring companies and the CIO International Longshore- mems and warehousemen's union to get together.
 Employers, union officials and federal mediator George Hillen- brand were to confer on side is sues disputed in Hawaiian ports outside of Honolulu.
 The union is asking a wage in- crease of 32 cents an hour over its present S1.40 cents an hour scale.
 The union earlier had postpon- ed indefinitely any renewed ne gotiation in Hawaii. It had said all developments awaited the re- turn here of union president Harry Bridges who is in San Francisco. Word received yester- day that he would not return soon.

 Chiang Kai-Shek said today Chungking, wartime Chinese capi- tai, will again become the center for the fight against aggression"
 The statement was issued as Chinese communist armies pushed on uneasy Canton, the national istS' temporary capital.
 Chiang said the Chinese com muniStS have "unmaSked them selves as international agents" He called for more stubborn resist ance. He said communist strength is waning "as a strong arrow reaching the end of it's flight"
 Observers said the Chinese communists are enveloping Chien- nan, Lungnan and Tingnan as springboards to cut the Canton Hankow railway 40 miles north east of Canton. If the maneuVer succeeds, large nationalist forces would be compelled to retreat.
 Diplomatic writers in Washing ton said secretary of State Dean Acheson and Britain's foreign sec retary Ernest Bevin will discuss possible development of an anti communist bloc of nations in southeast Asia when they meet in the American Capital next month. Bevin is going to Washington pri- marily to discuss Britain'S ecOno- mic plight.
 London infOrmants said Britain may have to give up some of her social services if next months monetary talks in Washington are barren of results. These inform ants said the labor government might have to jettison its tax backed medical services program.
