few clothes and nearly $500 in bills at various

of those families that just stumble along,

thing in the world is freedom. No man or
woman can be free if they are tied to lot of

stopped because by this time knew the
danger signals. She got up and made neat
little bundle of all the bills and the poor old
handbook and put rubber band around it
and came over and said. Here, you do it."
Twill say did little better At the end
of three months we had paid off $50 of our
bills. We didn't have any new bills - nor
any new clothes or other things either. But
we'd set such pattern of recrimination over
finances that the neighbors used to close their
windows when they saw me coming home.
The funny thing was that these quarrels
weren't about who was going to get the things
the money would buy. We weren't selfish:
she was more likely to spend our last $40 on
a nice sport shirt for me than she was on
something for herself. Only, had plenty of
sport shirts and really needed new hat.

WTHEN we were married had $78 in the
w bank and job at $lOO week. This
wasn't much but we knew it was enough. be-
cause we had it all figured out. We had dis
cussed the possibility that Pete might con-
tinue to work and had decided against it
because, we said, what the use of being mar
ried if you don't have any home life? We
knew that IS per cent of the people in the
United States have less than 500 week to
live on. And while we knew that most people
don't manage to save money, we knew that
we could - we were different.
We had it all figured out. We would put
little money in the bank each week and, in
addition, start buying the small, personal,
home things that we needed "a radio and
an end table and a set of nice silver and some
good dishes. Then, after we had these things,
we'd move to an ur1furnished flat and use
what we saved in lower rent to buy the bigger
pieces of furniture And when we had these
paid for we would make down payment on
Home of Our Own Then, we'd start family.
Had II All Planned
PETE was going to handle the money. After
all, she was the woman in the family and had
to do the buying and keep the accounts.
Darling" she said, you bring home the
bacon and I'll broil it and serve it on silver
platter" And that was the way it was going
to be.
Only, it didn't work out that way. At the
end of year we had Sis in the bank out of

Once l stopped in credit jewelry store and
bought her a wrist watch with lot of little

bought me a pair of hand-rubbed boots for

couldn't afford.
We Fergot u Few Things
INEVITABLY, came home with budget
book.
This is going to be the answer" declared
I'VE will spend thirty per cent for Housing
Light and Fuel, we'll spend thirty per cent for
Food and Clothing and thirty per cent for
General, and that will leave us ten per cent
for Savings"
Only it didn't. 1t left, at best, 10 per cent
for an item we thought up ourselves; we
called it ''Overlooked Expenditures" If we
allowed 10 per cent for these forgotten items,
we'd just about come out even at the end of
the month.
Rather, we'd come out even on paper. We
kept right on spending more than we earned.
The most satisfaction we got out of that
budget book was the knowledge that we were
spending AZ per cent for Food and Clothing

and 80 per cent for General and only 81 per
cent for Housing and Utilities lOl per cent.
1t did give us something more to fight
about though. Pete would say, We've
simply got to keep our expenditures for Food
and Clothing within thirty per cent" Sure"
I'd say, I'VE could, too, if you'd stop buying
steak at $l25 a pound" So we'd have
macaroni and cheese for dinner the next night
- along with the first strawberries OF the
season, plus a fruit salad made with peaches
flown in from Georgia.
We fought so much that even we got tired
of it. One day Pete said, 1--WE got bright
idea We're both used to having our own
money 50 let's have it now. Let IS take out the
amount we actually spend for joint expenses
and split what's left right down the middle
You take half and I'll take half and we'll
each have our own money for clothing
and shows and Christmas presents and
things. Then nobody can complain about
what the other one spends"
That sounded pretty good. When we
divided everything up we found that each had
$35 month for himself. 1t was the hrst
money I'd had for my very own since Id been
married and it seemed good to be able to walk

U.S.. TightensC Controls
On Strategic Exports
In Cold War Move
800 More Items Placed
Under Licensing to Bor
Reshipment to Reds
By the Associoted Press

The Commerce Department to-
day clamped tighter restrictions
on shipment of strategic goods to
Red China or other points from
where they might be re-shipped
to countries in the Soviet sphere.
1t issued an order requiring
licenses to export some 800 goods
of strategic Importance" to any
place outside the Western Hemi-
sphere. effective March 20.
This supplements an order last
November calling for licenses to
export 57l goods of top security
rating to any destination in the
world with the lone exception of
Canada.
The classes of goods involved
in today's clamp-dow were de-
scribed by officials as second only
in strategic Importance to those
covered by the strict control order
last fall.
Matches Cold War Spread.
The new order appeared vir-
tually to complete a shift in ex-
port control policy to match the
spread of the cold war front
from Europe to Asia and over
the globe.
Until last November, United
States export controls required
licenses only for shipments to
Europe and adjacent Mediter-
ranean areas.
Previously this had been con-
sidered sufficient to prevent re-
shipments of strategic goods to
the Soviet bloc of countries which
have been virtually banned since
March. 1947, from getting goods
from the United States that might
increase their war potential"
Under today's order, the "sec-
ondary" strategic goods may go
without license only to Central
and South American countries and
possessions, to Greenland, the
Caribbean Islands and Canada.
Trade Office to Do Licensing.
Proposed shipments to all other
countries-including such friendly
ones as Australia-rnust be Ii
censed by the Commerce Depart
ment's Office of International
Trade.
THE expanded control" the de-
partment said, will permit pre-
shipment screening of license ap-
Iplications to prevent shipment or
trans s-shipment to unauthorized
areas"
The expanded controls were de-
cided on by an advisory commit
tee on which the Defense and
State Departments, the Atomic
Energy Commission and the Ma
tional Security Resources Board
are represented.

Office distributed a release saying
many Taxpayers are jumping the
gun on the measure.
It was not effective, the Con-
troller pointed out, on the 1949

Baltimore Parkway
Completion Approved
By House Committee
Bill Amended to Assure
Rood Will Be Carried
Through Anocostio Park
By HoroId B. Rogers

. The House Public Works Com
mittee today approved a bill TO,
construction of the Baltimore
Washington Parkway from the
area near Fort Meade to the ex.
tension of New York avenue.
Since Maryland is already
building part of the road. the
committees action is to approve
completion of the parkway.
Representative Fallon, Demo
crat, of Maryland, who has been
chief sponsor of the measure ir
the committee, said he will file the
report on the bill with the House
In few days.
Started as Military Project.
The authorization bill woulo
finish. the project started during
the war as a military measure
Maryland authorities already are
building that section of the big
divided highway from the Balti-
more City line to Jessups road
near Fort Meade. The Federal
project would pick up at that point
and bring the parkway southwark
entering the District in the Ana
costa Park area.
The bill was amended by the
committee to assure that the Ma
tional Park Service would carry
the parkway through the northern
section of Anacostia Park over the
Anacostia River to the boundary
|of the park. From this boundary
the District Government would
carry the project by extension OF
New York avenue to hook 1t into
the city's street system.
District Engineer Commissioner
Gordon r. Young, during testi-
mony on the bill said that the
city, from its highway fund, could
extend New York avenue to con-
meet with the parkway at Ana
costa Park. He favored this con-
nection rather than other pro-
posed hookups.
Right of Way Acquired.
The right of way has been
acquired by the Bureau Of Public
Roads and part Of it already
has been graded.
Agreements had been reached
with Federal agencies controlling
areas through which the parkway
would pass for the right of way
But the committee added an
amendment to the bill to assure
the right of way in the Greenbelt
area. This was done because the
Greenbelt housing project is being
offered for sale to veterans CO.
