Union on VI Day. Counting
military goods, the United
States supplied $10.8 billion
worth of goods to the Soviet
Union during World War II,
Privately, United States off,
cials gave two indications of
their thinking on the lend
Ilease-settlement figure:
First. it probably will fall
between the $500 million Of
fered and the $500 million
asked.
Second, the United States
does not intend to give the
Soviet Union a better deal than
its other World War II allies
got when they settled their
lend-lease debts long ago.
A halfway compromise be-
tween $500 million and $500
million would be $3.50 million.
Great Britain, the other chief
recipient of American lend
lease, paid off with $50 r1il-
lion.

In addition, however, Lon
don gave $182 million for 200

seizure of Cuban properties Of
United States citizens.
A spokesman for the insti-
tute, known here now from its
Cuban initials as INRA, said
creation of the land courts and
drafting their organic law are
still under consideration.
The reform law itself, as pro-
mulgated last May IT. said land
courts "are hereby created for
cognizance and decision of ju-
dicial proceedings that may
arise from application Of this
law and others in connection
with agricultural contracts and
rural property in general"
1t added that the institute
shall draft the organic law for
the courts within three months.
This presumably meant by
August II. The organic law is
still awaited.
"Same Old Runaround"
The institute spokesman said,
however, any disputes may be
taken to either the Institutes
legal department or civilian
tribunals, including the Su-
preme Court.
"It's the same old runaround
at INRA," said a landowner.
IT'S wait, wait, wait all the
time. It's useless to try civilian
courts without the organic law
since they have nothing to go
by, so we are stuck with vague
promises.
Cuban as we'll as United
States landowners have COM
planned repeatedly that insti-
tute agents have moved in and
seized machinery and other
things without properly writ
ten authorization.
In some cases, property
holders said. armed soldiers
moved on their land and. when
asked about the law they were
operating under, responded: {:
What law? We're the law"

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. e. EDGAR

CAUGHT: AL acht,
who made his reputation as
baseball's No. / comedian,
also pulled many a zany
stunt during his playing
days.
One day. after hitting a
single. he took a wide lead of
the base. Suddenly the pitcher
whipped the ball to the first
baseman. Schacht made a
dive for the bag. AS he did
so, he felt something hard in
his back pocket. 1t was the
ball.
He got up and saw the first
baseman racing out toward
the bullpen in search of the
ball. Schacht made a dash
for second, looked around
and raced for third.
With the cheers Of the
crowd in his ears, he then
sprinted for home. He made
a head-first slide and crossed
the plate in a cloud Of dust.
The fans went wild. Schacht
doffed his cap and bowed.
AS he did so, the ball slipped
from his pocket and rolled to
a stop at the umpire'S foot.
The two exchanged looks.
Then Schacht shrugged and
trotted back to first base.

What follows here concerns
two major facets of retire.
ment. If I can get these
across to you who are moving
into your golden years, I will
have earned my honor badge
for the week.
The first point involves the
money you get in retirement.
No matter how much you get,
you will have serious doubts
that it is enough. Nobody
can ever afford" 10 retire.
The second is that your life
from age IS on will prob
ably not be a continuation of
the straight road you have
visualized. There will be
breaks in the road and curves
that you hadn't expected. In
brief, it is likely that some
thing you hadn't wanted will
happen.
Costs Must Be Cut
Point No. /:
Retirement income for
most people now ranges be-
tween one-third and one
fourth of their pre-retire-
ment salary. People who do
not funnel down their stand
ard of living this much in the
year before retirement must
Jam it down. And the high
er the income, the tighter
the. jam.
It is; only human for those
who can't adjust themselves
to reduced standards to be-
:lieve they can't afford to
retire.
AS a person advances
through a business career,
his income increases and his
cost of living invariably rises
to keep pace. When retire.
inent arrives. the good living
has ceased to be a luxury and
is, now a way of life and a
necessity. How can anybody
get by on a third or a fourth
as much?
The going minimum for a
couple in retirement is still

You Can't Adjust

around 5000 a month. People
whose working careers have
been in the lower income
bracket are generally happy
on this sum. The farther up
the income-ladder the salary
has been, the more impos-
sible the 5000 a month seems
in fact. the more impos-
sible any fraction of the
former income seems.
What can you do about
this If your salary has been
over $4,000 a year?
Character a Need
Character is a major part
of the answer. Character to
rip out a way of life and
start over on a new scale.
Moving away from people
who knew you when you had
a salary is the easiest way.
to do it.
One of the great lures of
retirement homes and of re-
tirement communities that
dot the sunshine country is
that most of the inhabitants
of both have low retirement
incomes. A man who once
made $4,000 a year and now
has $3.50 a month does not
feel poor among them. And
almost without exception he
finds them more satisfying
companions than the limou-
sine set he left behind.
Point No. Q:
Being prepared for the un-
expected after IS is a funda-
\ mental thing to learn. Sick
ness and death come to all,of
us and our loved ones, just
as the night must come.
After 65 it comes more
quickly.
Cling to those you love
with all your devotion. Stay
dedicated to them. But build
a backdoor to your life that
will allow you to escape from
desolation if you are sud-
denly left alone.

DEAR ABBY: This isn't a
love problem. It's more like a
hate problem the way my
husband has been grabbing.
I am 48 and he is 81. We've
been married 81 years. We
are both large people. I am
S feet 10 inches and weigh
1873 pounds. but I am not
clumsy. I'm a good dancer
and Garry my weight with
grace and ease.
My husband keeps telling
me I don't know how to get
into a car. The only way l
know how to get into a car
is to put my head and shoul-
ders in first, then set my feet
on the floor and then bring
the rest Of me in. What's
wrong with thatg He says I
am running his upholstery
and wrecking his floor mat.
What am I doing wrong,
please?
BIG BUT GRACEFUL.
You should put your left
foot in first, then place your
self squarely in the seat, and
swing the rest of you in
gracefully. I don't know what
kind Of a car you have to get
into, but with some of these

So Marjorie is being a little
unfair when she points the
accusing finger at John sim
ply because he belongs to the
minority in her set. He
couldn't get into a conflict
unless one or more persons in
the group wanted to take
him UP on it.
We suspect that Edward
is tuned in on the right fire.
quency when he suggests
that the men in the group
enjoy their arguments with
John and the women may
find him Objectionable for
precisely that reason. This is
not belittling women's inter-
est in public affairs. Ger
tainly many of them take far
greater interest and are bet
ter informed than their
spouSes.
Social life is. however. far
more important to women
than to men.
It is up to the hostess to
create an enjoyable evening
for both men and women.
Marjorie is confessing defeat
when she says she must ex-
clude her brother-in-law. AS
long as her brother-in-law
argues ideas and policies and
is not insulting to any Of the
guests he is a social asset.
It's up to the girls to use

Dear DR.. Steffcrohn: I ann
in my middle seventies. I re-
tired about five years ago and
these have been the unhap-
piest years of my life. I
have been listless and have
lost my interest in things.
Can you suggest a good
tonic? Or anything else that
will give me the desire to go
on? Sincerely, Mr.. T., Ari-
zona.
HOW EASY 1T would be
for me to minimize your COM
plants and use an express
sion that I dislike hearing:
after all. Mr.. T. What do
you expect at your age?
Unfortunately. too many
elderly sufferers must carry
this added burden-frustrat-
ed by a misunderstanding
family or a tactless doctor
who throws a battered calen-
dar at them.
If there is at least one
thing I can feel proud about
in the practice of medicine it
is this: I have never told
an elderly ailing patient Its
your age, what do you ex-
pect?"
Consider your complaint,
Mr.. T. Specifically. what
can you do about it?
First, comes the advice
that holds priority: Go to
your doctor for a physical
(and emotionaD survey. Let's
suppose that you are in good
physical condition. Well,
then, where does the tonic
come in that you have been
asking about? Probably you
don't need one. Not that a
vitamin tablet might not help
a bit.
But you must search else
where for the cause of your
listlessness and unhappiness.
The fact that you have been
feeling this way since your
retirement makes me suspi-
cious of the true cause Of
your lack Of interest.
Perhaps enthusiasm has
gone out Of your life. You
stopped living when you
stopped working. I'll wager
that you did not develop any
outside interests when you
were a working man.
Take away your job and
you are left helpless and
thwarted. Nothing to do but
eat, sleep-and keeping won
dering what life has to offer
any more.
The answer is obvious.
You must develop an inter-
est. Now don't YOU go say
ing you're too old to find a
hobby. 1t can be done at any
age. AS soon as you generate
a daily enthusiasm. you will
awake with anticipation
rather than "hate to face
another day"
I guarantee that you will
stop looking for a good
tonic" Enthusiasm is an
antidote against lack of in
terest. Now don't YOU go
saying you're too old to find
a hobby. 1t can be done at
any age. AS soon as you
generate a daily enthusiasm.
you will awake with anticipa-
ton rather than hate to face
another day."
Pick out hobby horse and
learn to ride him. Later on
during your retirement years
you will be immersed in
total absorption and con-
tentment.
