DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: | AM simply ‘sick at heart and somewhat angry, too. My husband has been in Japan for the past 18 months. “Recently an officer friend of his was home on leave and made a special point of coming to see me. Of.

Sure, I'm sore. I haven't written good old Fred since Lt. B. was here because I couldn’t trust myself. I didn’t want to say too much all at once. But I'm literally seething. I intend to write very few letters from here on out, and | very cool letters at that. He's | due home sometime this fall, | and, believe me, I certainly intend to throw the book at him then. : Men, phooey.
thought I was until Lt. B. started talking.
Oh, he didn’t say anything exactly definite, but he certainly did imply that Fred was living off the fat of the land and wasn't exactly suffering from the lack of wine, women and song. Fred had written me that he and Lt. B. and another officer ° were sharing quarters together, but I'm afraid I did not realize that “quarters” meant a charming ‘little house with maidservants, et al. Lt. B. said that both he and Fred and the other man were absolutely nuts about Japan, and that you could have a lot more fun there than over

DEAR HELENE: WHOA THERE, lass. Seethe and ferment all you like—but take my advice and keep it strictly to yourself. In the first place, it's always
here, an ¥ pe a dreadful idea to pour out your folks there, and that it anger on paper. Secondly, what
on earth would you gain by writing an angry letter now when he is coming home soon? Thirdly, when he comes, don’t make the mistake of welcoming him with a fit of temper. Remember, he his been away close to 2 years. He is your husband, and you love him (Did you say, “Oh, yeah?”) Maybe you resent his having fun while you've been lonesome~—but, honestly, haven't you enjoyed yourself at all? Just a little bit? Furthermore, how do you know that Lt. B.'s accounts are accurate? I wouldn't bet on it—~much less jeopardize what can be a marvelous homecoming for you both, Take it easy now and try and realize that even husbands are human. M. M.

The result is I do ery a lot, and this irritates him, Often I can't sleep, and this makes him cross. I think he still loves me, but I don’t know. What should I do? A READER.
DEAR READER: I'VE HAD letters like yours before, alas, and they always | burn me up. It's just impossi- | 3 ble to understand how any man ] who pretends to love his wife ] even a little bit could act so mean and snarly when she's carrying his child. I don't suppose it would do the least bit of good for you to point out to your husband that the child is every bit as much his as yours, just as much flesh, bone of his bone. Tell him | once and for all that babies don’t just happen, and that | he's as responsible as you are. In other words, don't stand for this chill, it's-all-your-fault treatment on his part, He's supposed to be a man now, and a husband, too, and if he can't face having a family, well, he's a pretty shabby critter, I'd say. My regret is that’ you let him make you cry. That's probably what he wants to do. He's acting every inch the bully. What he needs is somebody to stand up to him and tell him what the score is. You say, “I think he still loves me but I don't know.”

Even The Times now finds it necessary to raise its prices a little. It's due to the continued increase in the cost of paper and all the other materials and services that go into our newspaper. The Times hasn't raised its prices for six-days-a-week delivery to its subscribers’ homes since 1947.
YOU WILL STILL be able to buy a single copy of The Times for a nickel... and the Sunday edition will still be 10 cents.
But starting today, we have to charge home delivery subscribers the single copy price... 30 cents a week for the daily only, and 40 cents a week for daily and Sunday.
MOST OF THE NEWSPAPERS of this country already have put their prices at this figure, and in many cases higher than this, for the same reasons that now compel us to do the same. In spite of steadily rising costs we have continued, and will continue to bring to Times readers the best in news, and features, and comics . . . in unbiased reporting of the hot political campaign, and the thrilling fall and winter sports events, and in every other field of Indianapolis interest.
The carrier who brings the paper to your door every day . . . he feels inflation too . . . naturally will share in this extra nickel a week.
What's a better buy, these days, than The Times at 5 cents a day and 10 cents on Sunday?

Statement Slated Before Election Day
By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 29—Re-
publican presidential candi= {date Gen. Dwight D. Eisen~ hower will bare his financial
affairs in a statement to be issued before election day, it was
announced today.
The announcement followed publication last night of Gov. Ad-
lai E. Stevenson's federal income
tax returns for the last 10 years.
The Democratic candidate in is-
suing his returns made an implied
challenge to Gen. Eisenhower to do likewise.

would include Gen. Eisenhower's tax returns for re-
cent years.
Mr, Hagerty, in a statement to newsmen, said:
“Since the General has not previously been in politics and since he has not had a political fund and does not now have such a fund, he has given little at tention to the stories in the papers in the last few days regarding the relationship of such funds to income tax returns,’
“Not until Saturday did the |General have any press queries {directed to him concerning, his Janata) situation. “Since there now seems to he a public interest in his financial situation, he will get his records together and I am sure he will make a statement later on,” [Hagerty said, | Mr, Hagerty in reply to questions said that he was not certain whether this would mean disclos~ ure of the General's income tax records, but he did say that “the public will be informed as
to his entire financial situation.”
Adlai Lists Income Gov. Stevenson last night dis closed his income for a decade. It showed that his income was
1$500,046 on which he paid $211,-
980 in taxes, leaving a net ine come of $288,066. A point of interest among Democrats regarding Gen. Eigenhower’'s balance sheet is the tax
{ruling he obtained on his best-
selling memoirs “Crusade in Eu. rope.” The book reportedly made
, a total of close to $1 million. Gen,
Eisenhower paid a tax based on the capital gains schedule, or about 25 per cent, instead of a
’ much higher figure, perhaps 77
per cent, which would have prevailed at normal personal income
tax rates.
