Answer:

If there is one sure recipe for
becoming unpopulars 1t is that
of being plain-spokep and think
ing you have a right to broad
cast your dislike ofepeople who
do no happen to appeal to you.

admire in people th& they care
so little about hurting others
feelings that theys Sound off
whenever they get a chance to
make disagreeable remarks and
comments on others.
. Have you ever heard of
trait called tact? Well, tact is
something that every cultured,
kind person tries to develop. 1t
doesn't mean that you have to
lower your standards or change
your principles but it does keep
you from saying mean or cut
ting things, unnecessarily. 1t
makes you pleasant to people
even if you do not care for them
and, in your case, there is GER
tainly need for it unless you
wish to be milestone around
your husbands neck and hinder
him in his work and chance of
promotion.
Do you know that many peo-
pie who do not appeal to US at
first are much nicer as we come
to know them better? You
say that the boss and his wife
have tried to be nice to you? If
such be the case, it cretainly is
nothing but courtesy on your
part to return theh hospitality.
If you accept cotartssies, you
SHOULD expect to ma&a return.

doesn't mean that you have to
become intimate. You can be
pleasant to anyone and do stop

Britain Charges Russia Has Ten Million Slaves

GENEVA, Switzerland, (P) - Britain formally accused Russia today of maintaining l0,000,00O slave laborers in "a new slavery organized on a mass production basis"
 Russia retorted in the United Nations economic and social coun- cil here that the British charge simply was SmOkeScreen to cover up Britain's own labor trOu- bleS.
 The United States proposed ap- pointment of na U. N. commission of II to inquire into "the nature and extent of forced labor" throughout the world. The U. s. resolution suggested emphasis in such an inquiry be placed on sit uations involving large numbers of persons or widespread practices of forced labor"
 The British charges were made by Corley Smith, British delegate who presented what he described as a copy of a corrective labor code of the Russian Soviet Fed erated Socialist Republic" on rules for labor camps in the Soviet Un- ion. The R.S.F.S.S.R. is Russia's largest republic, with Moscow as it's capital.
 Russia retorted that the codes presented by Britain actually rep resented a humane system with "re-education of the people" as one of its aims. The Soviet dele gate said the codes object was to place persons sentenced to penal servitude "in conditions which make it impossible for them to do anything hostile to Soviet soci- ety."

Flood Waters Threaten Nenana

FAIRBANKS, (P) - The city's Red Cross facilities were held ready for possible emergency use yesterday as the rapidly rising Tanana River pointed new and stronger threat at Nenana.
 The small central Alaska com munity population 3O0) lies ap- proximately 40 miles west of Fair banks.
 Rivermen reported the raging river was coursing through it's banks at its fastest pace in a quar- ter century. Already it has cov- cred several hundred feet of Alas ka Railroad track, flooded most of the community's gardens and threatened to rip out several docks.
 The towns water gauge was washed away but George Gale, railroad agent, estimated the flooding river as about two feet under the peak reached last year when floods were the worst in Ne nana's 33-year history.
 Railroad crews stood by be- tween Mile 46 and Mile 48 to guard the tracks and bridges in anticipation of overflow from Lake George, famous self-empty- ing lake which it is feared will break momentarily.
 Water was being brought in from Healy by rail.
 The Alaska road commission of flee at Anchorage urged motorists to stay off the Tok Cutoff to speed repair work Passenger cars are being lowed through, but the Cutoff is closed to loaded trucks.

Clark and McCrath
 OK's Seem Certain

WASHINGTON, (P)-The dou- ble appointment moving attorney general Tom Clark to the Supreme Court and Senator J.. Howard McGrath D.-RiD into the justice department seemed yesterday to have a clear path to Senate ap- proval.
 President Truman sent his for nal nominations of the two men to the Senators yesterday, after receiving word they would ac- cept the posts.
 But the backWaSh may produce conflicting bids by Senators Sten- his O.-MissD and Senator Kerr O.-OklaD for a coveted place on the Senate'S tax handling finance committee. Stennis is States Rights supporter; Kerr an admin istration packer.
 McGrath's acceptance Monday of President Truman'S offer of the attorney generalship cleared the way for the official action by President Truman to nominate both him and Clark.
 ClarkS acceptance of the Su- preme court appointment, to fill the place vacated by the death of associate justice Frank Murphy had been a foregone conclusion.
 McGrath'S decision to take the cabinet post was announced at the White House after the Rhode Is- land Senator had consulted with his home folk about his Senate successor.

Polio Shows
 Sharp Increase
CBy The Associated PreSS)

(By The Associated PreSs)
 Infantile paralysis cases showed a sharp increase in some States in the last week, boosting the na- tion's total far ahead of l948, a near record year.
 The number of polio deaths for the first seven months of l949, an Associated Press survey showed, is about double the total up to Aug. 1948.
 The survey showed apprOXi- mately 5000 cases and 442 deaths. However, data on fatalities was sketchy and incomplete in some States on the number of cases.
 Many communities, fearing epi- denies in the heavy polio months of August and September already have taken emergency measures. State health officials and leaders of the national foundation for in- fantile paralysis are taking all precautions to prevent the out break or spread of the disease.
 The 27,680 polio cases reported in 1948 were the second highest of record but up to Aug. 1, 1948, the total was under 5000. The worst polio year was 1946 when about 30,000 cases were reported.
 Increases in the number of cases over last weeks figures were reported in New York, Illinois, h.

Legislature Puts Hawaii Into Steve dOring Business

HON OLULU, (P) - HaWaii's House of Representative Monday night voted to put the Territory in the Stevedoring business until the end of the dock Strike-a move one legislator warned might mean blOodShed. The bill went to the Senate immediately. One prOpon- ent predicted it would pass the upper house by today.
 The House vote was 24 to 6.
 Under the House bill the Terri tory government would be prohib- tied from hiring striking CIO in n ational longShormene and warehousemen. Neither would em- ployees of the seven struck island stevedoring firms be employed. But the Territory government would be permitted to rent steve doring equipment from the struck | firms.
 The 95-day old strike has brought about a tense situation The islands are dependent on ship ping for most of their essentials The strikers are demanding at 32- cent increase to their prestrike $l.40 hourly wage.
 Minority spokesmen in the leg islature protested the Territory should be given powers to seize Stevedoring property to operate efficiently.
 Gov. Ingram M. Stainback, who called the special session of the legislature last week, asked Satur- day for the right to use trained dock workers to meet the emer- gency He called a ban on them "vindictive."
 But the House ignored his pleas.

U. $. Rejects
 Soviet Protest

WA SHIN c TON, (F) - The United States today emphatically rejected a Russian protest against Italy's membership in the North Atlantic defense pact.
 Secretary Acheson termed the charges utterly without fOunda- ton" in a note delivered to the Russian embassy shortly before noon.
 The text of the treaty itself is the best answer to such miSrcpre- sentations and allegations" the American reply said.
 The Soviet government had charged that Italy violated it's peace treaty by joining the l2-na- ton defense treaty last April.
 Acheson had denounced the Russian charges at his news con- ference last Wednesday, foresha- flowing today's formal rejection of RusSia's latest accusations.

port issued by Carl G. Krueger Of
the U. S. Forest Service and NAL
colm Edwards of the NJ C. Wildlife

Eighty-nine hunters in three days
on the Mt. Mitchell area bagged 21

of nearly $3.50, or slightly more
than one buck for every three
hunters.
The Daniel Boone Refuge hunt
ers did nearly as we'll, reporting 1T
men got SO bucks; the Sherwood
area claims 40 deer shot by PIG reg
istered hunters; while the largest of
the. areas-Pisgah Preserve-re-
ports 1,345 hunters accounted for
PA buck deer and eleven bears.
Nine bears also were bagged on the
Sherwood area during special

participated, and an additional bear
was shot during the deer hunt on
this area.
Twenty-one hunters with bows
and arrows drew a blank special

Of near misses.
The coon hunters on the Pisgah
Preserve came up with better
shooting average, of course, with
211 hunters getting 118 coons dur
ing six nights. of hunting.
Still better future hunting is in
dicated by the report which tells Of
