band to help you with the house
work but prudence also counsels
it. For if your burden isn't lifted
a little you will soon have break
down and then he will have trouble
a-plenty.
In those cases where a hus-
band supports the home and TIE
wife is we'll and strong I do not
think that she should call upon
him to add the housework to his
job, any more than he should ex-
pect her to help him out on his,
but the situation is entirely altered
when the wife is frail and delicate
and not able to do all of the work
alone.
Personally, I do not see why a
husband and wife who love each
other should count every lick of
work one does for the other, ard
each be SO afraid that he or she
will do little more for the others
comfort and happiness than he or
she is entitled to. To my think
ing the greatest happiness that
! life can give us is being able to
serve those we love and make life
easier and pleasanter for them.

Dorothy Dix

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My
husband and I are in perpetual
argument about whether or not
he should help me with the house
work. He says: MY job is to
support you and the baby and not
to be a washwoman or nursemaid
or cook I say that after I have
done my own housework besides
taking care of 15-month-old
baby that I am so tired and
nervous that I need a little help
and that he might give me a lift
by at least looking after the baby
while I do the dishes. Would you
advise us about what work each
of us should do in the home?
THE QUARRELERS.
Answer: I don't think that
question can be settled definitely
because there are too many angles
to the situation. So much de-
pendS on so many different things
and particularly, as in your case,
on the wife's health.
Evidently you are overworking
Not only affection and sympathy
for you should prompt your hus-

Mrs. Bolton was among the

Representatives Reva Beck Bosone
of Utah and Edna F. Kelley of

The brief talks last night ranged
from the humorous to the serious,
with Mrs. Church setting the pat
tern by relating some of her
amusing campaign experiences
and then stressing her conclusions
that people are hungry for the
truth"
The new Representative drew
laugh when she recalled a con-
versation with a fellow shopper
in a supermarket before the elec-
ton. The woman. she said, ex-
planned that she recognized Mrs.
Church from pictures of her in
the newspapers.
"And when I saw your picture"
the woman continued, II said,
Now that face amt handsome,

Senator Smith emphasized the
power of the press and paid
tribute to the press corps of Wash

power as guardian rather than
a threat to- freedom. MY close
association with the press has
given me confidence in the destiny
of the country" she declared.

invited her to open a charge ac-

Another called her attention to

House Coalition Kills
Defense Housing Bill
BY Vote Of 219-17O
BY the Associated Press

Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis banded together yesterday
to shelve the administrations de-
fense housing bill for the time
being.
The coalition forced the bill off
the House floor by a 219-to-170
vote. 1t can be recalled at any
time, but leaders indicated the
measure may first be drastically
revised to meet objections of
critics.
The bill would have boosted
Government authority to insure
BODYBUILDING loans by So billion
and allowed the Government to
build any defense housing not
erected by private enterprise.
Opponents charged this would
allow the Government to get into
the BODYBUILDING field in a big
way and result in a wave of public
housing projects.
Representative Latham, Repub-
lican, of New York charged that
the administration could build "a
golf course and swimming pool" in
every community in the country
under the bills provisions allow
ing expenditures for community
facilities.
This bill leaves the door wide
open for pork. privilege and
patronage" he said.
But administration spokesmen
contend the bill is needed to pro-
vide housing facilities near defense
plants and military camps.
Representative Wolcott, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, leading opposl-
ton to the bill, said the admin
istration had sharply curtailcd
the ability of private builders to
construct needed housing by dras-
tic credit restrictions. He said
now the administration wanted to
let the Government do the home
building.

each year the campaign has been

surplus has been distributed tc
other camps for underprivileged
children-including those run by
the Salvation Army at Prince Will
liam Forest Park. Part of the
funds also have been used fol
permanent improvements at the
camps in the park.
The park was developed as a
camping area to afford summer
vacations for underprivileged chill
dren in the Washington area. Five
camps within the park are used
fully each summer, but a sixth is
occasionally operated for the over
flow.
The camps include cabins, mess
halls, swimming lakes" wood
land trails, good roads, electricity
and water supply.
They're fully developed" COM
mented the parks spokesman. Its

oped that the military wants

Secretaries was promised.
Another Pentagon public rela-
tions official then called to say he
was unable to learn anything
about it, and cant find anybody
who knows about it."
Still later, the same official
called back to report the whole
thing was so trivial and insignifi-
cant that it doesn't amount to a
hill of beans"
Park Official Contradicts Military,
He said he had found out that
an agreement had been worked
out between park and military Of
f1clalS to use some of the field
houses in the area for 10 days.
He said he could not find any
other request.
Informed of that report. the
park spokesman said the request
was for three years instead of 10
days and not for field houses, but
Tor the entire 14,500-acre tracts.
He said there was no mistake
about that because representatives
OF a Defense Department agency
had been comforting with the
parks office on the request for
two months.
According to the park official
the conferences have been with a
much lower echelon" than the

ID. {. Minimum WAGE
Law Changes Still
Sought by Nicely

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committe still hopes TO
get approval from his committee
for his bill to extend the major
provisions of the District mini
mum wage law to men.
The measure, even in a modified
form, yesterday failed to gain q
favorable report, but Chairman
Neely ordered that absent mem
berS be polled. At least two Of
these members were expected to
vote for the bill.
Six members were present
yesterday when the vote was
taken. Democratic Senators
Neely, Johnston Of South Carolina
and Pastore of Rhode Island voted
for the bill. Three others voted
against it-Democratic Senator
Smith of North Carolina and Re
publicans Butler of Maryland and
Welker Of Idaho. In addition, by
proxy, an adverse vote was
registered by Republican Senator
Case of South Dakota.
The bill was designed to protect
the jobs of women and minors,
covered by District minimum
wage rules, by preventing en-
ployerS from hiring men as their
substitutes at lower than the
prescribed minimum for women
and children.
Opposition Senators argued
that there was no real showing
that men were willing to work
for less than the minimum pay
for women and children. They
also contended the measure
seemed to be a move to get a
minimum wage law for men under
the guise of something to protect
women.
