Dorothy Dix
Man Without Job Advised to Tell
Girl of His Interest in Her, ANYWAY

knowing what he intended doing? ?
Every girl who has q grain of
sense In her head should try to
find out as soon as possible what
a mans attitude toward her is
whether he is just good for a
pleasant evening now and then or
whether he Is q potential steady
date for dinner as long as she
lives. Then she can make up her
mind whether to waste any more
time on him or not.
If he doesn't speak, how is she
to know whether he cares for
her or not? She can only assume
that his silence indicates that he
is Indifferent to her, and In that
event the wise thing for her to do
is to quit seeing him and turn her
affections toward some more re-
sponsive man. For nothing on
earth Is more pathetically hope
less and tragical than for a woman
to 60 on loving q man who doesn't
love her, trying vainly to win a
heart that is steeled against her,
kidding herself into the belief that
some miracle will turn his affec-
tionS toward her.

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think
q young man should tell q girl Of
his intentions toward her when
he is out Of a job? For the last
four years I have been going
steady with a girl whom I admire
very much, and who I know cares
for me. know she is anxious to
know my intentions toward her,
but I hate to satisfy her curiosity,
considering I have nothing to
guarantee my promises.
ANXIOUS YOUNG MAN.
Answer: Tell her. Set her mind
at rest as to the state of your
feelings toward her. She is Ger
tainly entitled to that much as
compensation for the hopes you
have evidently aroused in her
bosom by four years of assiduous
attentions to her.
Your hesitation in telling the
girl that you love her when you
can't offer her even an engage
|ment ring does credit to your sense
of honor and chivalry, but you
know women are queer creatures
and just to know that a man loves
them, whether anything comes OF
it or not. is a pride and a joy to
them that perhaps no man ever
understands.
You speak about the girl friends
curiosity about your intentions.
Good grief! Why shouldn't she be
curious? II you had built all your
hopes and plans around a man
wouldn't you take an interest in

Pukistun Is Discussed

Friendship and cooperation be-
tween Pakistan and India are
necessary for their very existence
and for peace in the world, mem
bers of the speech section Of the
Twentieth Century Club were told
yesterday.
THE two nations must remove
road blocks, the main one being
the Kashmir problem" Mrs. N. A.
K. Raza, wife of the Military and
Air Attache of the Pakistan EN-
bassy, said at q meeting at the
YWCA.
Reviewing the history Of the
Kashmir problem, Mrs. Raza said
that when 1t was decided to parti-
ton India an agreement was
reached between Mosleins. Hindus
and the British Government that
the nation would be divided ac-
cording to the concentration Of
Moslem and Hindu population.
While KaShmir's ruler is q
Hindu, its population is 80 per cent
Moslem, she pointed out. The peo-
pie Of Kashmir wanted to join
Pakistan, she asserted, but the
ruler of the state wanted union
with India. He agreed to a stand
still agreement with Pakistan
which meant that no treaties
would be made with a third party,
Mrs. Raza said. But although
the agreement was to be in effect
for six months, only two months
later, after the maharaja had fled

Republican Women Hear
Herter Discuss LEGISLATION
By Ruth Deem

Representative Herter, Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts,. asserted
yesterday that President Truman
doesn't want repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act or enactment Of the
Brannan Plan in this session OF
Congress, because he wants to use
them as appealing issues in the
coming political campaign"
Addressing the District League
Of Republican Women, Represent
ative Herter predicted that, de-
spite President Truman's recon-
mendations in his state-of- the
Union message, the two measures
would not be passed at this ses-
sion Of Congress.
Action on repeal Of the Taft
Hartley Act will probably be de-
layed by debate on the CLOSED
shop" and "use Of injunction"
principles, the speaker declared.
Calling the Brannan Plan the
administrations effort to develop
the Democratic Party into a great
farmer-labor party. Representa-
tive Herter said it would not go
through the present session of
Congress "even in modified FORM"
"It's appealing except for the
fact that the general taxpayer
will have to pay the difference be-
tween what the Department Of
Agriculture thinks the farmer
should get and what he actually
gets" he said. The speaker also
charged that the bill, If enacted
into law, would mean complete

ductivity-their output per man
hour" he said. "They must i'm
prove their marketing methods
they must make every effort to in
crease the sale of their goods in
the areas where goods are bought
with dollars.
But we, too, have an obliga-
tion. We must let Europe sell
us more-much more-of its
products that we are now doing or
have done in the recent past"
Mr.. Hoffman pointed out the
National Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation recently supplied him
with a list of articles manufac-
tured in Europe which they be-
lieved American consumers would
welcome. Women, as buyers, he
added, can contribute to the
stabilization of world economy by
purchasing the foreign goods that
association members are placing
on their shelves.
He also referred to- American
tourist trade as another COM
modify" which Europe would like
to sell. I'VE are urging the
Europeans to cultivate this field to
its full potentiality." he said. IF
at home we can become European
minded and convert that dream
OF a "trip across into a reality, we
will be doing our part.
"I say that with some tre>ida-
ton in full knowledge of the
part I may be playing this eve
ming in domestic arguments" he
added with a laugh. But I am
standing behind what I have said.
# you need ammunition-welI, let
me know and I will have my Office
send you some very convincing
pamphlets"

Mrs. Oscar L. Chapman, program

and eventual regimentation Of
the farmer"
Representative Herter also pre-
dicted that rent control, the ma
tional health insurance bill and
taxes promise to be big issues"
but that it is too early to gauge
what turn civil rights or foreign
policy will take.
On the enactment of civil rights
legislation, the speaker said "the
test will come very shortly" Ex-
pressing his opinion on the SUBJ
ject, he added: "The Republican
Party was founded on the princi-
pie of civil rights. it's always stood
for equality, and I don't think for
expediency's sake we should give
up what we've stood for, for so
long,"
In place of the administrations

in Congress think they have
something better in the Old Age
and Survivors Insurance bill, the
speaker declared. with old-age
security becoming one of the
most important concerns Of the
American people, the Republican
Party can't ignore 1t" Representa-
tive Herter said. THE more we
have old-age insurance as right,
the less well have old age assist
ance as a bounty"

W0nnen's Clubs
Hoffman Tells Democratic Women
ECA Task Is Only Half Done
By Frances Lide
Womon's Club Editor,

ECA Administrator Paul G,
Hoffman warned yesterday that
the job of European recovery is
only half done, despite the success
of the Marshall Plan in the past 81
months.
Speaking before the Woman's
National Democratic Club at a
luncheon meeting, Mr.. Hoffman
declared that the program today
Is ahead Of schedule.
He added, however, that the
Marshall Plan has been so sue
cessful to date that now, paradox
ically. zone of the greatest dangers
to its long-term success is that
this country will consider the Job
done-or nearly enough done to
permit us to relax our efforts and
reduce our aid too drastically".
Taking note Of the fact that his
audience included the wives of
some members Of Congress, Mr..
Hoffman declared that his address
was in the nature of a prologue
to what he would say in later
appearances on Capitol Hill. eff
I can get by here, maybe I can get
by later with some of your hus-
bands" he said with laugh.
Pointing out that $4,000 ,0O0,-
900 already has been appropriated
for the ECA. he estimated that an
additional $4,000. 900, 900 would be-
needed to finish the job. But we
can't have a free world if Western
Europe collapses and falls" he
said.
Asked if Europe would be able
to stand on its feet by 1852. Mr..
Hoffman declared fatty that ECA
must be terminated by June Of
that year. THAT doesn't mean
that we will have terminated all
Of our obligations through the
Marshall Plan, but ECA is a spe-
cial program that must end then"
he said.
The speaker emphasized the
part that Europe must contribute
to the recovery program, citing
the integration Of Western Euro
pean economy as practical nec-
essity" rather than an ideal. This
integration, he said, includes re-
ducing trade barriers, co-ordinat-
ing of monetary policies and
eliminating dual pricing.
He also stressed that Europe
must find a way to earn in the
United States the dollars she
needs to buy the goods she can
only obtain here. 4
