For Individual Candidates

he did like to go about the coun-
try and fill commitments he had
made-some of them booked a
considerable time ago. Then he
said he expected to move around
and talk about the program which
he has advanced, and about the
administration Of the Govern
ment and its needs and prob
lens.
He has already agreed to speak
at the Illinois State Fair August
19-at Republican Day" He is
to speak, too. May 81 in New
York, at a dinner in connection
with Columbia University. Other
invitations under consideration
are to speak in California, Min
nesota. Michigan, Maryland and
Massachusetts,. He wound .up his
1852 campaign for the presidency
in Boston, and he has been in
vited by Gov. Herter and Sena-
tor Saltonstall of Massachusetts,
to speak there about November
l or just before the coming elec-
ton. Both are Republicans and
up for reelection.
The main issue in the coming
campaign. the President told the
reporters. would be a program
representative of the best inter-
ests of the country. He insisted
it was essential to get such a
program on the statute books as
promptly as possible, including
the important tax and spending
measures, and legislation deal
ing with important and pressing
problems. He added that such
an accomplishment would show
a united people. He said en-
phatically he could not exagger-
ate the Importance of getting
such program enacted.
Asked About Red Issue.
The President was asked if he
believed the Red" issue would
be important in the campaign.
He said in reply that he did
not wish in any way to minimize
the Importance of getting any
and all Communists out who
had inf1ltrated the Government
and industry. He said, however,
that the people had been alerted
and told that this adminiStra-
tion was doing everything pos
sible to eliminate the Commu-
niStS and the Communist menace
in this country.
In connection with the matter
of campaigning for Republican
candidates for Congress, a re-
porter told the President that
Representative Noah Mason of
Illinois. Republican, said Re-
publican National Chairman
Leonard w. Hall had expressed
an opinion the President would
be found working for the cam
didates.
The Presidents comment was
short but emphatic. He said Mr..
Hall had never said that to him.

on the Senate bill, since the
House unit already has heard
testimony on the various features
during it's pay raise hearings.
| This will speed up committee
action on the legislation, they
pointed out.
One of the main provisions Of
the Senate-approved bill pro-
vides for repeal of the Whitten
rider which curbs permanent ap-
pointments and promotions in
Government. 1t would pave the
way for permanent appointments
for thousands of temporary Fed
eral workers who have passed civil
service exams but who have been
denied status due to the rider.
Another major feature of the
Senate bill repeals last years
law requiring Federal employees
with more than 80 days of ac-
cumulated leave to reduce their
saved-up leave to an eventual
maximum of 80 days.
BY repeating this law, the Sen
ate bill would permit these en-
ployes to retain and carry over
from year to year the amount
of leave they had accumulated
at the start of this year. 1t
would not. however. allow the
employees to accumulate from
year to year any leave in excess
of their January l, 1854, leave
accumulation, as had been the
case until several years ago.
However, the Senate's pro-
vision is considered a welcome
start in the move to restore
many of the leave accumulation
privileges that have been taken
away from Federal workers dur
ing the last few years.
The repeal provision would not
have any effect on employees who
had less than 80 days of leave
accumulation at the start Of this
year. They can only accumulate
leave up to a 30-day maximum.
hH -
OTHER BENEFITS-Here are
the other major provisions of
the Senate-approved bill:
/. Overtime and longevity pay
benefits for classified employees
would be increased. The bill
provides time-and-a-half pay
ments for overtime work on the
first $3.50 of Federal salaries.
Time half is given now
on only the first $4,000 of Fed
eral pay. The bill provides. how
ever, that employees earning SILL
300 a year or more would not
receive overtime pay. !
2. Longevity increases to en-
ployeS who have reacheo the top
of their grades would be extend
ed to those in Grades IL to IS,
after three years in the top
rung of the grade. provided they
have spent 10 years in the grade.
The longevity increases now are
given only to employees up to
and including Grade 10.
8. The number of super-grade
$4,000 to $4,000 a year jobs
would be increased. The Senate
Civil Service Committees origi-
nal bill provided for a 300 in
crease. However, Senator Rus

Property Price
Award Challenged
BY the Associased Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. g.
The State Roads Commission
yesterday appealed for an over
throw of an Anne Arundel Coun-
ty Circuit Court decision which
awarded $30,50O for little more
than one-third acre of property
along Revell highway.
The commission filed a con-
demnation suit for the strip of
land along the north side of the
highway between the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge and Ritchie highway.
Eventual purpose of the aquisi-
ton of the land was to widen
the highway and build a parallel
service road.
The 1863 acres is owned by
John and, Bella A. Novosel and
part of it is leased to Herman o.
and Matilda NJ. Collier, who
operate a restaurant and liquor
store.
The Roads Commission attor-
neys told the Court of Appeals
the lower court should not have
allowed testimony of appraisals
of the property which were based
on business profits.
Attorneys for the Golfers and
Novosels said appraisals given at
the trial were proper and by
competent persons.
In another case before the Ap-
peals Court, Banz & Son, Build
ers, Inc, appealed an Anne
Arundel County Court decision
that enjoined it from building an
open air theater in the first dis
trict below the South River
Bridge.
Nearby property owners con-
tended the. theater would lower
the value Of their properties.

Our Children
By Angelo Potri

Grace is Is years old, a healthy
young woman in her last year
in high school. She protested
strongly about going to school
this last year, but her father in
sisted that she must at least be
graduated from high school.
"You should go to college, but
if you don't want to go there is
no sense in sending you. You will
regret it, though, if you don't get
a good education and fit yourself
for useful work."
I'm going to be married as
soon as I can, SO why should 1
have to go to school? / don't
need to know all that stuff
Latin, algebra-what good will
that be to me, I'd like to know"
Parents are often hard put to
it in such cases. They know that
the child who is talking this way
is the very one who needs all the
education she can get, but one
can't hold her nose and pour it
down like castor oil.
But one can talk. One can
point to women who had col
lege education and who did marry
and rear a fine family. The child
can be told of people who went
to college and stayed until they
earned a diploma, took a job for
a couple of years, married ana
head a good home and a fine
family.
It is hard to get a young per-
son to understand the hazards Of
life. Youth does not hear, nor
see, because experience still
awaits them and without exper-

say nothing. That is not telling
the truth, in one sense, but it's
not telling a lie, either. In some
marriages there is far too much
truth-telling. It is q weapon by
which each tries to injure the
other. Each repeats gossip that
will hurt the others self-respect.
Each makes remarks about the
other that will damage the mar
riage. Each reminds the other
Of unpleasant facts about rela-
tives or past history. True-but
harmful. There is not the slight
est benefit to be gained for the
marriage. AS Mrs. T. said, we're
not being frank so much as we
are being brutal.
A marriage built on deceit is
a shabby thing. but a marriage
built on unnecessary telling of
unpleasant facts will leave the
union weaker rather than
stronger: this is one that needs
to be overhauled carefully. There
is something seriously the mat
ter with this marriage. Go out
of your way to tell the truth
when it will build UP Self-con1l-
dence, and at other times con-
slider the desirability Of keeping
quiet.

Our Children
Study Is Made tempting

fence they do not, cannot, in
terpret life. But we can tell
them of persons who did not
attend school, those who might
have and did not, as well as
those who could not, and point
out the difference between their
lives and the lives of those who
had a sound education. That
might help.
Teachers can do a great deal
toward interesting young people
in higher education A teacher
is an educated person and If he
is the kind that makes them
want to be like him, he has a
means of encouraging them to
want what college offers.
To the ambitious one, eager
to earn money. the teacher can
point out that every year OF
schooling adds dollars to in
come, opens more guarded doors
the doors to the most coveted
places. Education can be made
to look glamorous, even for the
girl who is set on marriage.
Marriage implies motherhood,
and that is a career for which
education is essential. Every
mother wants her children to be
and to have all that is best in
life and the more she knows of
science. art, history and litera-
ture, the more che can apply to
the rearing of her children.
Marriage instead of being a rea-
son for leaving school is the
greatest reason for going there
and staying there until the de-
gree is earned. Mothers cannot
know too much.

(E. C. B., LGndoUerJ
To Mrs. L. r. W., Alexan-
dria: Here is q little informa-
ton on what to do for a newly
cleared lot that has trees on
it. You can buy slaked lime
for small change. It doesn't
cost much for q five-pound
bag. With this. make a bucket
of whitewash. I think it is
made up Of / pound Of lime
to / gallon Of water. Mix
well. Then, using a whitewash
brush, paint the trunks OF all
the trees on the lot about 2
feet from the ground. The
whitewash that falls on the
ground will help keep worms
and bugs away, too.
To keep the grove cleaned
out, you will have to pull of
any new sprouts or saplings
that may come up. We did this
and in the summer still have
plenty of shade. It will take a
little time to get it cleared out
the way you want it. We have
six lots and it took quite a bit
of time to clear them. If you
rake what you can, then with
an old broom sweep the ground
a little at a time, this will
keep it clean and also help
keep the worms and bugs away.

Modern Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

A husband who won't lie to his
wife on proper occasions is so
low that he's beneath contempt
that's the belief of Mrs. T. Don't
hold me responsible for, 1t. But
let's look into it for a moment
because I have just received a
letter from another wife who
asks, Don't you think husband
is under obligation always to tell
his wife the truth?"
I might take refuge, with
PLATE, in asking, What is
TRUTH" but there is a real prob
lem here that deserves study. It
came up when Mrs. T. called at
my Office in the American Insti-
tute of Family Relations and de-
clared that every man should
treat his wife as an equal.
But suppose she isn't an
equal?" I asked, just to start an
argument.
HE should make her think, at
least, that he considers her an
equal"
would you say that is
honest?"
"a married man can't afford
to be too honest" Mrs. T. re-
torted.
"How's that? You wouldn't
justify a mans lying to his
wife?" She replied with the
assertion have already quoted,
"A husband who won't lie to his
wife on proper occasions is so low
down that he's beneath con-
tempt"
isn't that a dangerous doc
trine?" I urged. Who's to de-
eide what occasion is proper?"
"She; of course. He shouldn't
tell her unpleasant things unless
certain that the telling will be
helpful to her. The trouble with
most of you men is that you
don't recognize the difference
between necessary frankness and
unnecessary brutality"
I was brought up by my par
entS to have a respect for the
truth and I don't want to argue
that any husband or wife should
tell an untruth to the other.
but I'm sure Mrs. T. is right in
saying that there are many oc-

TO MOTHER OF TWINS.
mrs. E. r. H., Arlington)
Dear Mrs. E. M. S.: Con-
gratulations on being the
mother of twins! You'll find
they are as much fun later
as they are extra work now.
Mine are 15-months-old girls
and the best babies I've ever
had. Here are a few suggeS-
tions which I hope may aid
you in saving time.
Make up 2 days supply Of
formula at a time if you have a
good refrigerator. The extra
cost for bottles is worth it.
Just make 4 times the amount
of formula and use large pans
or kettles for your steriliza-
ton of bottles, caps and
nipples.
When feeding both babies,
sit down on a bed or couch and
feed them together, holding
both bottles while the babies
lie on the bed. However. you
will need to take turns burping
them over your shoulder
unless you are better than I
am at juggling two at once.
If diaper service is available
where you are, it. too, will be
very helpful, especially if you
send a sample diaper showing
how you want all your diapers
folded. If diaper service is
not available a dryer and
washer of the automatic type
are very fine. A dryer saves
time in hanging clothes and is
q boon in wet weather. Plenty
