more supplying power on a lin
tied scale. 1t appears that de-
spite the greater force which air
power can now apply, an i'm
portant target can only be seri-
ously damaged and not actually
destroyed. To make the damage
irreparable it is necessary to re-
sumo air attacks every two or
three weeks on the same target.
Destruction of supply lines
and railway installations also
is only temporary. In a recent
report Gen. Van Fleet pointed
out that the Chinese electives
in North Korea had been in
creased in the last two or
three months from approxi-
mately 100000 to over 1,000.-
900. He also called attention to
the fact that the enemy has
mastered the technique Of
inflltration and transporta-
ton at night OF military sup
plies by caravans of coolies or
pack animals. With the enor-
nous reservoir of manpower
and complete indifference to
human life the Red high COM
mand finds this method pref
cradle and more successful
than the Allied highly mech
anized means Of transportation.
In daytime our planes may
catch a column of coolies carry
ing supplies on their backs and
disperse them with machine
gun fire. But that Is hardly
possible at night.
These are the serious prob
lens which are facing the
United Nations forces in Korea.
There seems to be no doubt in
the minds of our military lead
ers that any effort by the enemy
to make a serious breakthrough
in the 155-mile front could be
defeated. But there is more
concern over the capabilities
Of the Communist airpower
which has been marking time
for the last three months.

q short appearance and say q

a formal statement saying that
his role in the coming election

What is involved in these ma.
neuvers is the question Of who
shall control the party and its

not seemed able to set his own
firm line so clearly as to dis

be to avoid repudiating any Of
the generals expressed views
on the one hand and as few
as possible of his own expressed
views on the other. This isn't
asking very much from a candi-

Gov. Stevenson is supposed to

attitude Of many of the editorial

that in the last 20 years the
treatment in the news columns
accorded to both Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman has been

Lowell MeHett:

II Gen. Ike really has any
doubts about it and nobody else
will tell him, we might as well
do it here and now. He will
have the earnest and energetic
support Of Senator Robert A.
Taft in his campaign for the
presidency. Any idea that the
man he defeated in Chicago has
decided or will decide to take q
walk this year Is nonsense.
Furthermore, it seems to me,
it is equally absurd to say, as
some are saying, that the Sena-
tor will demand certain "com-
mitments" from the candidate
as the price of his support.
The man from Ohio always
has been what is called q reg
ular. meaning he has always
gone along with the party.
That, plus his capacity for
forceful leadership, is how he
came to be called Mr.. Repub-
lican-a title he relishes too
much to relinquish now, as he
would do if he failed to give the
party's candidate his full sup
port. He will wish to continue
to be Mr.. Republican. whether
the general wins or loses, and
he can expect to be. The title
will hardly be transferred to the
general, in the light Of his brief
experience as a party man. 1t
won't be transferred to any Of
the Senators, such as Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, who staged an
abortive revolt against Taft's
Senate leadership following the
last election and led the fight
against his nomination this
year. 1t simply wouldn't At.
So in his own enlightened
self-interest Senator Taft will
be in there pitching before the

where to turn. I am %.
| M. G.
| ANSWER: There is no doubt
but that you are in a desperate
situation, and a small town is
a bad spot under the circum-
stances. No matter how hard
things are for you at present,
hang on and don't, under any
conditions give up your children.
That is something you would re-
gret for the rest of your life.
They're babies such a little while,
and the years Of their complete
dependency pass very quickly
much too quickly for most
mothers.
You should be able to make
friends among the other young
mothers in your community, which
would at least give. you some
one else to talk to. Then, you
could exchange baby-sitting serv-
ices to permit you to get out oc-
OCCASIONALLY. One day you could
take q neighbor's children for the
day: another time she could take
yours. In a town where baby
sitters are scarce. or money is not
available to hire them, this sys-
tenn has worked very well with
young women in your position.
Staying at home with mother and
keeping your children is really
the best you can make Of q bad
situation for the present. When
the babies are a little older, you
can go out to work, but right now
they need your care.
In the meantime, there is no
treason why your husband should
Igo scot free on supporting them.
apparently you haven't pressed
this point very much and, OF
course, If he can get away with
|anything, he'll do it! Write and
tell him that unless he makes a
definite pledge Of support you are
going to obtain legal advice. If
he ignores the letter, consult q
lawyer. The nearest Family Court
can tell you where to obtain free
legal advice and service, since
you are unable to pay for 1t.

Kebabs or Observation-Disclosures
you prefer to call its about as
exotic a dish as you'll find. Ol
Eastern origin. it has long been
a favorite with gourmets Of the
Western World. Brochettes. sticks,
skewers and even imitation swords
are used to spear the morsels OF
meat, and some Of the gaudier
restaurants insist on serving the
product aflame at the table.
Lamb is usually the meat used
It should be cut in squares or
cubes about 2 inches square, and
threaded onto sticks or skewers at
least 10 inches long. A full. cooked
skewer is served to you on a plate,
and you cut OF the meat. etc.,
with your knife and fork. Don't
try picking the skewer up in your
fingers!
For 21a pounds Of lamb, mix
this marinade:
One-haf cup olive oil, / tea
spoon salt, ! cup Of red wine, 3
tablespoons of wine vinegar, q bay
leaf. 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
some chopped parsley and ore

Soak the lamb in this mixture
for 3 or 4 hours. Overnight Is
best If you can manage IT'D
Arrange the seasoned squares OF
lamb on the skewers, alternating
each piece with bacon squares
mushrooms and small onions
Brush all with butter or oil, and
broil quickly under a brisk flame
turning often. Serve at once with
trice.
You can try out any number
Of combinations Of kebabs. Use
marinated eggplant squares in
stead Of the mushrooms, IL you
wish. Kidneys are good. too--use
plenty of bacon with them. Little
tomatoes add color and flavor
Pieces Of sausage may be Just the

Some cooks like to make kebabs

ever, that lamb done in this way
is apt to dry out unless cooked
very, very slowly. and the lamt
patties may crumble away from
the skewer on which they are
threaded.

Confession may be good for the
soul, but when one party to an
engagement insists on barring his
past, regardless Of its significance,
Ia girl might well ask, "Why?"
Norma is puzzled because the
man she plans to marry keeps
forcing her to listen to a long list
Iof confessions" none of which
seems to be in the category Of
past. or to have any bearing On
future happiness. He apparently
has no prison term. nasty divorce
|or any crime or scandal in his
record, yet-but let Norma tell it.:
"I have been gc;ng with young
man for more than a year and
we are now informally engaged to
marry. Lately he has been telling
me more and more about his past.
Every time I see him he has some
new revelation to make-not ter
ribly serious but not particularly
to his credit. I must say. I have
told him repeatedly that I'm not
interested in all that love him
flor what he is, and we are going
to build our future together:
what's done is done and he's TAX
ing me for what ! am now, just
as I'm taking him for what he is
now. But he goes right on each
time, with the insistence that
there's something he thinks I
ought to know. What does it all
mean, DR.. Popenoe? Is this the
way a man usually behaves? Is he
trying to scare me out Of marrying
him? I can't figure him out"
Keep on trying, Norma. It's
important to figure him out before
you marry him. When a man fol-
lows this line, 1t may be due to
one or several Of these reasons:
l. He feels guilty and is trying
to relieve this feeling by con-
fession.
