Post

A bride sends this complaint:
I've always had the highest re-
gard for my new husbands man.
ners, barring one thing! He
sometimes goes through doors
ahead of me. Several times I've
remarked about this only to
have him explain that he couldn't
very we'll help me by following.
But it still doesn't seem quite
polite to stalk ahead and let me
follow"
He shouldn't go through an
open door first but it is both nee
essary and polite when a door is
closed for him to go ahead either
to pull it or to push it open for
you. In the first instance you, Of
course. go through first. But if
he has to push heavy spring
door, he cannot hold it for you
except by going first and standing
against it.
Those Who Perform Wedding
Services
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it (a) proper
or (b) necessary to invite the
singer and the organist to the
wedding breakfast? They are
friends of the bridegroom mother
whom she asked because our reg
ular ones are either busy or on
vacation. The reception is to be
just for families and best friends.
Answer: There is a difference
in being friendly" and being close
friends If they would be on the
list of the bridegroom mother
anyway, and if. above all, they are
contributing their talents as gifts,
they should certainly be asked to
the reception. On the other
hand, if they are receiving their
professional fees and are &C
quaintances rather than friends.
note of thanks to each with your
check would be sufficient.
Girl Inviting Boy
Dear Mrs. Post: I had several
dates with a boy when I visited a
girl friend in another city last
summer. He writes he is coming
to this city to do a bit of sight,
seeing and hopes to see me. What
should I do to entertain him, and
if I take him sightseeing would
I be expected to pay any of the
expenses?
Answer: Write him that you
hope he will come to see you, and
if possible invite him to a meal
either alone with your family or
perhaps invite some friends at
the same time. That's all you have
to do.

President Truman approved the

timetable. Along with bill to create
a new, separate federal civil de-

The program is built around:
l. Cooperation on a big scale be-
tween federal, state and local gov
eminent, with each sharing some Of
the responsibility and expense.
2. Providing pre-attack precau-

for some 140 critical target areas

hardest. (The target areas were not

8. Mutual aid pacts among cities
and states.
4. Mobile civil defense teams that
could speed to stricken cities.
S. Establishing government schools
to turn out civil defense experts as
the British are doing.

STATEHOOD
BILL URGED
! FOR PASSAGE
0'Mdhoney Makes Speech
But Congress Has Many
Biz Issues Before II

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - Up -
Senator OMahoney (D-Wyo) said
today the psychological time" has
arrived for the Senate to act on
statehood for Alaska and Hawaii.
In Senate speech he reminded
campaign conscious colleagues that
the controversial issue - on which
President Truman has asked action
still is hanging fire.
He said action on House-approved
statehood bills would counter Rus
sian propaganda that the United
States is fostering colonial i'm
perialism" in the Pacific.
The statehood issue--likely to be
debated at length--was only one of
several which plagued lawmakers
bent on getting out of Washington
while there is still time to convince
the folks at home that they ought
to be reelected.
Anti-Subversive Bill
A Senate-Ho conference COM
mittee was about ready to give its
formal approval to a compromise
version of an anti-subversive bill
which some of Mr.. Truman's friends
OF Capitol Hill were urging him to
sign.
Both Houses still have to pass on
a $4.508, 000, 900 tax increase bill in
final form, which probably will take
several days. And Senators O'Ma-
honey and Connally D-Tex) were
threatening to fight any adjourn
ment unless Congress promises spe-
officially to come back in November
and pass an excess profits tax.
O'Mahoney's Speech
O'Mahoney said in his prepared
speech:
Alaska and Hawaii are American
outposts in the Pacific. what we in
Congress do now with respect to
statehood for these two territories
VIII nave dii inihiCoio0c SAASe.
throughout the Asiatic area.
ITO make completely successful
the present struggle in the Pacific,
the peoples of Asia must be convin-
ced that the United States does not
seek to establish colonial imperial
ism, contrary to the accusations OF
Russian propaganda.
Immediate statehood for Alaska
and Hawii will be the most convinc-
ing argument we can now make that
military success against Commun-
istic aggression in Korea means
freedom and self-government for all
Asiatic people"
After OMahoney finished his
speech, Senators Gordon D-Ore)
Lehman (D-Lib. NY), Thye ,(R-
Mimi and Magnuson (D-Wash)
quickly endorsed it.
Gordon said "it would be most un-
fortunate if Congress adjourns be-
fore both these bills have been given
adequate consideration" He said the
statehood measures had been sub
iected to one delay after another,
adding this was unnecessary, un-
called for and unfortunate"
