me the benefit of your sugges-

ter - years old who is very lack
ing In self-confidence. She does
not mix too we'll with her con-
temporaries and I am concerned
as to what course to pursue. She
is sensitive and often exhibits fear
and timidity in meeting life's ex-
periences. These characteristics
have been with her since earliest
childhood. Her father was the
same type of person and suffered
much In his relations with other
people.
My daughter is in excellent
health and has a keen desire to
mix with young people. but some

make the grade" to any great
extent. I have always encouraged
activities such. as dancing and
piano lessons and swimming. I
have taken her to Sunday school
and encouraged her to engage in
church activities.
We read together and share
many good books which she her.
self selects, including the Bible.
She has gotten outstanding prog

She is generous by nature, but
freezes up in the presence of those
outside the immediate family
circle which conveys the impress

and some adults. that she is aloof
and snobbish. I might add, that
she is an only child and I have
a feeling that somewhere along

COMMENT.
From v. E.. Washinoton.)

tFTOW v. ED WuSftIUVLOH.J
I am writing this In the hopes
that 1t may help sonemone. new
to being a landlady, avoid the
mistakes I have made.
I was completely inexperienced
when the job came to me, through
the death of a relative. "a good
friend has just told me Of my
mistakes, Of which I was quite
unaware before.)
It may seem strange that any
one could fail to look out for the
needs Of those living In their
home, but not knowing what my
new duties were, 7 am sorry to
say that I did just that. I cared
for the rooms, saw that they
were comfortably furnished, and
was pleasant to the folks when
I met them.
I thought they would come to
me for anything they wanted, SO
I went blithely on. never dream
ing that people were saying I
was neglecting their needs. That
is the last thing I ever meant
to do, as I would have been only
too glad to do anything for them.
am a shy person. not at all
aggressive, and to me a closed
door meant that the occupant did
not want to be bothered. I was
Mortified to learn that one Of the
folks had been Ill and needing
attention and had not come to
see what I could do. And, In
another instance. some one had
wanted cold drink of water and
I had not thought to offer it.
(Oh, how I hate to think Of
that.) I would be too ashamed
to write these things, except, that
I just didn't think Of them at
all at the time. I could not
imagine anyone in my home not
knowing that I was willing and
glad to do anything for them.
All they needed was to ask.
II any one has lived in my
home, recognizing me. I certainly
want them to know how sorry I
am for my mistakes and for any
discomforts they suffered because
of my stupidity.

Regards to vacuum cleaner. I

thing to be cleaned, including
scrubbing floors and waxing. 1t

FeIIers Denies Story
|0f Speech 10 Germans,
Plans 10 Sue Allen
BY the Associoted Press

Bonner F. Fellers, Republican
National Committee official, has
denied a syndicated column by
Robert s. Allen quoting him as
telling group of Germans here
that Hitler did Germany a world
Of good"
Mr.. Fellers said yesterday he
has instructed his attorneys to
bring immediate suit for dam
ages. Mr.. Aliens column, he said,
was "a vicious misquotation."
Mr.. Allen denied misquoting Mr..
Fellers. He said the six Germans
and their American guide told
him the story. and that he took
it to Mr.. Fellers, who con-
firmed it.
In view of Mr.. Fellers' denial,
COP Chairman Guy Gabrielson
telegraphed Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York that any
further action would be unneces-
sary. Gov. Dewey, as head of the
party, had demanded that Mr..
Fellers be fired if he made the
remark attributed to him by MI.
Allen.
In statement released by the
National Committee,
Mr.. Fellers said it was inconceiv-
able that his remarks to the Ger
mans could have been interpreted
honestly by anyone as praise of
Hitler. He said he pointed to
Hitler as an example of the way
in which Government can get out
of control if it lacks a system of
checks and balances.
Mr.. Fellers, a retired brigadier
general, has been chief of the
committees veterans division and
an assistant to the chairman since

johnson Given Credit
By Matthews for u. ).
Successes in Korea
By the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Secretary
of the Navy Matthews said last
night that the amphibious opera
tions in Korea were made possible
primarily by Louis Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson's resignation as
Secretary of Defense was accepted
by President Truman last week.
In addressing the National Con-
sumner Finance Association, the
Navy Secretary said that elimina-
ton of overlapping functions and
jurisdictional disputes throughout
the defense department provided
the basis for teamwork which re-
suited in the Inchon landings.
"It is to the everlasting credit
of Louis johnson that, as our
second Secretary of Defense, he
primarily made that inspiring re-
suit possible" Mr.. Matthews said.
Through months of patient,
persistent, sometimes even stub
born effort, he resolutely and
fearlessly did the unpopular thing
at the inopportune time which, in
the final result, produced an Army,
a Navy and an Air Force capable
Of swinging into prompt and eff
fective action with such military
resources as, under the restrictions
imposed by a prudent peacetime
respect for the taxpayers already
heavy burdens, could be made
available"
In an interview before his
speech the Navy Secretary told a
reporter he likes his job very
much" and has no intention of
resigning.

accomplished one of their obiec-
tives. kilograms of comment on
the veto flowed to the Capitol
in growing numbers through the
night.
House Calls Recess.
After the House overrode the
veto, it passed the resolution call
ing for adjournment some time
today until November 81. Then
the House recessed until noon
today and it's members went home,
apparently recalling the Senate's
penchant for ending most sessions
with wave of oratory. They were
right.
The opponents of the internal
security bill in its present form
began talking about 6 pm. AS
the evening wore on, speeches
were made by Senators Lehman,
Humphrey and Kefauver. AS they
talked. the leaders made plans to
fight through the night, and cots
were brought from the basement
and placed in nearby rooms.
The supporters of the bill
formed themselves into teams so
that some could rest while others
stayed on the floor.
LANCER Started Fast.
At 11:50 last night Senator
LANCER took the floor and the
word got around he would hold it
for at least several hours. He
made no effort to conserve his
strength, as some Senators do in
f1libuster, by talking slowly in
a soft voice. Instead, he put into
his remarks the volume for which
he is famous and which more than
fills the regular spacious chamber.
He kept going for more than
five hours, refusing to yield for
Interruptions, which might have
conserved his strength. 1t was
about Sis when he showed signs
of weakening.
One of the last acts of the
Senate yesterday was to back down
from its earlier stand for a rigid
ban on further economic aid to
any nation which lets war-poten-
tial goods go behind the Iron
Curtain.
Chief Accomplishments
The chief accomplishments of
this 1850 session have been:
/. A new Social Security law,
extending retirement coverage to
at least 10 million more individuals
and raising benefit payments.
2. A new housing law to keep
going the various government pro-
grams for stimulating home con-
struction.
8. A liberalized Displaced Per-
sons Act, to let more of the refu-
gees of World War II seek a haven
in the United States.
4. Extension of rent control to
December 81. with local COM
munities given the option of ex-
tending it then for another six
months. The Korean war and
the defense program may bring a
demand for broadening rent con-
troll in the November session.
Taft Act Still Stands.
AS in the 1949 session of this
Congress, the Truman admins
tration has been unable this year
to get Congress to go along on
the following basic points of the
Fair Deal:
l. Repeal of the Taft-Hartley
labor law.
2. The Civil Rights program, in
cluding the Fair Employment
Practice bill, the anti-lynching
bill, and elimination of poll taxes.
3. Federal Aid to Education in
the States.
4. A broad program of Federal
health insurance.
Although Republicans have at
tackled administration foreign
policy in Asia throughout the ses-
sion, once the shooting started in
Korea in June, Congress lost no
time in rushing through an
emergency program, which in
cluded:
