TUESDAY, JANUARY 3. 1852
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Men always get the worst of it
according to Mr.. Med.
"A smart woman can entice q
man into marrying her." he as
serts. HE then becomes entirely
responsible for her support. She
may be a parasite, but she is still
entitled to half of all he makes.
If she isn't satisfied with being a
parasite, she can divorce him and
maybe he still has to support her!
Meanwhile, she has his name
and can trade on it. 1t seems to
me any one must recognize that
this is unjust, DR.. Popenoe. If a
woman divorces her husband, she
ought to lose the use of his name
and take back her own. Isn't that
fair? I wish you'd write column
about that"
Glad to oblige you, Mr.. Med,
although my column won't satisfy
you. OF course, agree that a
man sometimes gets very much
the worst of it in divorce. Some
times, on the other hand, the wife
gets very much the worst of it.
But insofar as the use of the
name is concerned, I think that's
for her to decide.
This name may be part of her
stock in trade, so to speak. Take
the first Illustration that comes
to mind - Margaret Sanger, the
advocate of birth control. You've
heard that name, haven't you?
Yet it has not been her legal
name for more than 80 years. If
she had been forbidden to use it|
during the past generation, she
would have been handicapped
greatly.
She was born Margaret Higgins.
In 1900 she married William San
ger, an artist. He fought beside
her in their early campaigns.
Later, she divorced him and mar
ried j. Noah H. Slee, who has
since died. She now lives in Tue
son. Ariz., under the name of her
first husband, which she has made
so well known that Hollywood isl
talking of making motion pic
ture about her.
Sometimes man "buys off" his
wife at divorce and there is an
agreement on her part not to use
his name in any way for her own
personal advancement.
agree with you, Mr.. Med, that
every man ought to be very chooSyI
about letting a woman use his
name. The time for him to choose
is when he asks her to marry him.
If he will take pains to marry the
right kind of a woman, he will
rarely have cause for complaint
later.
But woman has some rights,
too! One of them is the right to
a name which she has accepted.

Favor for Union Side AboutotEnd
Steel Strike Rood to EorN Settlement Without Actual Use
Of ToHortIey Act and Without Any Seizures Under Law
t Actual Use

The current strike is costing
the union plenty of expense. All
in all as happens always after
these severe strikes where there
is no chance to rely on
special privilege or favor from
Government to back up the
union demand. the situation
SINNERS down to economic
realities.
That is why it was a distinct
disservice to the whole steel
situation for the President to
have made a deal several
months ago with the CIO,
pledging not to use the Taft
Hartley Act against them. No
President ought to make any
such pledge to any private
organization. In this instance
it meant that, no matter how
good the offer of the steel
companies might be, there
would be no opportunity for
the workers to pass Judgment
on it.
One Of the features of the
Taft-Hartley law which has
not been emphasized recently
is that the National Labor Re-
lations Board is commanded to
take a secret ballot among the
workers asking them to decide
whether they favor or reject
the last and best offer made
by management. Such a ballot
if taken now, for example. would
probably result in an over
whelming vote in favor of the
steel companies recent proposal.
because it gives the union just
about everything it asked for
on the money side. and most
workers aren't as much con-
cerned with the union shop"
requirement as are the officers.
So the CIO chieftains have
come to the point where they
find settlement absolutely essen
tial, and the steel companies
likewise find conditions con-
ducive to a settlement. It may
be consummated in a few
days now.

areas but was barely carrying

no industrial labor in North
Dakota. this cannot be attrib-
uted to labor support for LANCER.
Senator LANCER, a colorful
character and shrewd politician.
is a superb campaigner and runs
an efficient Office here which
never neglectS the customers.
Anti-Langer newspapers, like
the Fargo Forum, concede how
ever that they were surprised he
won so lopsided a victory. Since
all the returns were not in, it
was difficult for them to analyze
it in terms other than his great
political skill.
One observer suggested that
Democrats must have added to
his plurality and that North
Dakotans were peculiarly sus-
ceptible to personalities.
Sources close to the campaign,
however, were emphatic in their
view that the Roosevelt social
revolution-cail it New Deal,
Fair Deal, Trumanism or what
you willis not unpopular. They
said firmly that Republicans had
better get any such notion out of
their heads before they meet in
Chicago, stop quarreling and
pick winner. AS for foreign
policy, the Senator's attitude
was felt to be somewhat special
because Of the large German
Russian ethnic groups in the
State.
The conclusion still was: For
ward is the best word, not back
ward.

David Lowrence:

The steel strike is on the
road to an early settlement. It
will be accomplished without
the actual use of the Taft
Hartley Act and without any
seizures to be authorized by
law. But there is no way of
calculating how much influence
potential action or threatened
use of existing law has had on
the negotiations behind the
scene.
The truth is that Government
partisanship or favor for the
union side is about at an end
and the parties to the contro-
versy are on an equal footing,
as they always should have been.
and now that each side realizes
its responsibilities, there is a
true spirit of give and take-of
concession and compromise.
The settlement, so far as
wages are concerned, will give
the unions what the Wage Sta
bilization Board recommended.
1t. will include the much-de-
bated time-and-a-half premium
for Sunday work, but it will not
include the union shop except
in plants where it already ex-
lists.
Most significant is the fact
that the steel companies are
ready to agree on the issues with
the CIO without conditioning
their action on any price in
crease to be granted first by
governmental agencies. But it
is known that the steel COM
panies have been assured an
increase of at least $3.50 a
ton. which includes somewhere
around So ton due them under

The steel companies would
like to have total of $3.50 a

price have taken an interesting
turn. There are some steel

Only six weeks ago the Chi

British property estimated at
over a billion dollars. London

some sort of repayment and also
for permission for British citi-
zens still in Red China to get out

did not dignity the British
diplomatic note with even an
acknowledgment. In spite of
this brutal treatment, the Brit
ish government and the British
people through their represent
atives in the House of Com
mons are giving no signs of any
moral indignation.
Moreover, when the supreme
commander of the United Ma
tionS forces, Gen. Mark Clark.
ordered a long delayed air strike
against a strictly military objec-
tive from whence the Chinese
receive supplies to kill Ameri-
can and British soldiers, Parlia-
ment rose in ire and protested
the generals action. The in
dignation Of the Labor Party
cannot be written off as a polit-
ical maneuver to embarrass the

ing of the British electorate.
Political observers agree that
in another election in the near
future the Conservatives would

The attack ordered by Gen.
Clark early this week was ap-
plauded by both American DO

however, one of the most force
full British political men, Aneu-
rim Bevan. who initiated the poll
icy of neutralism in the present
conflict between East and West.
A number of American polit-
ical leaders are asking them
selves the hypothetical question:
What would Mr.. Bevan do in
the event of direct Soviet ag-
gression against United States
territory from Asiatic bases?"
In such an eventuality 1t is
likely that either a Labor gov
ernment or a coalition domi-
mated by Labor would replace
the present Churchill govern
ment. In the light of the present
neutralist doctrines expressed
by the Laborites, would the
NATO on which we have con-
centrated our major efforts in
the last three years come effec-
lively to our assistance?
Treaties between free and
democratic nations are always
made in good faith. But some
times conditions change and
they are not lived up to. In
August, 1910, when the mill
tary alliance between France
and Britain had not yet been
dissolved, the British had a
number of bomber and fighter
Squadrons at Marseille ready to
bomb the industrial areas in
Northern Italy as soon as Mus
solini decided to join Hitler in
the war. But when that moment
arrived for the British planes
to go on their mission they were
refused permission to take off
by French authorities.
This Marseille incident, which
occurred nearly IL years ago,
is very much in the minds of
American political men. They
wonder, in the light of the
present antics of the British
Parliabent, what a British gov
ernment dominated by Laborite
neutralistS might do to our air
wings which are now stationed

Washington ordered them on a

high as $3.50 a ton for fear they
will be pricing themselves out Of
a market-that is, if the steel
strike is settled soon. If, how
ever, it isn't settled in the next
few days and stretches out for
weeks, then the $5.50-a-ton hike
could be absorbed because steel
would be in greater demand.
The effect of the recent work
stoppages has been to liquidate
inventories among steel users
during a time when steel is
considered to have been soft"
that is, steel production is
greater than the demand de-
spite the frequent references to
the alleged calamity involved
in stopping steel production for
a single day. It would be a
catastrophe if steel isn't pro-
duced beginning in another two
or three weeks, but the damage
thus far isn't too great or ir-
remediable. Already the auto
companies are beginning to
complain, however, of a short
age of steel needed in the max
ing of cars. so there is a crisis
ahead.
If the strike is settled in the
next few days, the steel compa-
nies would be inclined to take
the risk of a price increase of
somewhat less than $3.50 a ton.
Then there's the persuasive fact
that price controls may be
weakened by current legislation
and price increases can be
instituted a year hence If the
market permits.
The most influential factor in
keeping the price increase at
moderate point, however. is the
fear of resistance from the users
at a time when steel is likely
to be more plentiful than has
been expected. The stretch
out" Of the armament program
has played no small part in
slowing down the demand for
steel.

Political Leaders in Both Parties Are Beginning to Worry
At British Attitude on Korean Power Plant Bonbinqs

1t is hard for the average
American to understand the
indignation of the British Labor
Party at the bombing of the
North Korean hydroelectric
plants. The British Labor mem
bers of Parliament know that
the Mukden arsenals were draw
ing most of their current from
those plants.
The British Laborites also
know that Britain is a partner
of her own free will in the war
against the Communists. in
Korea and that the so-called
police action was undertaken in
1850 in the name Of the United
Nations and with the full con-
sent of the British government
which at that time was in the
hands of the Labor Party.
The British political leaders,
regardless of party Affiliations,
seem determined not to offend
the Chinese Communists even
if this may mean an indefinite
prolongation of the Korean con-
f1ict. Prime Minister Churchill's
Conservatives, who have lost in
the last eight months whatever
popular appeal they may have
had last year, feel compelled
to play up to the neutralist
Laborites on questions of foreign
affairs.
Although before coming to
power Mr.. Churchill intimated
an opposition to continued rec

have forced him to keep that

Republican Breach Grows Wider
Neither Eisenhowers e-Tooism' Nor Toft's Policy
Of Wholesale Attack Likely to Save Porty Prospects

Senator Taft is greatly dis
appointed in Gen. Eisenhower.
II had been hoping" he told
a group of Pennsylvania Repub-
licans, that he would develop
q policy of attacking Demo-
Gratis. but it seems to me in the
last week he has rather tended
to 60 back entirely to the policy
of attacking Republicans"
That is rather interesting
language: "a policy of attacking
Democrats" The general, hav-
ing come home to be a candi-
date for the Republican nomi-
nation, was expected to de-
velop a policy and Senator Taft
had hoped it would be a policy
of attacking Democrats. In
stead, the general reveals that it
is a policy of attacking Com
munism in the manner he
thinks it should be attacked.
That, unhappily. requires brush
ing aside-or attacking-any
element here at home disposed
to interfere with the general
plan of battle. Which includes
isolationist Republicans.
That's no way to win this
years election, in Taft's opinion.
He could be right. He prob
ably is. Leaving out his own
personal ambition, Mr.. Taft can
see a real threat of defeat for
his party in the division over
foreign policy. now being wi
dened day by day by Gen. Eli
Senhower and his supporters.
Until Gen. Eisenhower became
Q candidate some of the ex-
perienced strategistS of the Re-
publican Party believed they had
a sure-fire program for victory.
It was very simple. It consisted
of attacking everything and
anything in the Democratic rec
ord Of the past 20 years; of
holding Mr.. Truman and his ad-
ministration responsible for all
the Ills Of the human race.
The idea was to take the offen-
sive and keep it. to remain
always on the attack. They
really believed that failure to dc
