FAMILIES OVERSEAS Tlie families of all n**n n the army overseas will be permitted to join them, it has been announced by the war department. Originally It had been aid that only officers and top”noncommissioned officers would be allowed to send for their families, but this order has now been changed .o nclude all personnel. It is required only that such a soldier agree .0 remain overseas for at least a . ear. Thte concession by the army *tli undoubtedly lelß-ve much of the pressure that has been brought for the release of men in the armies of occupation. The principal! objection that has been otfered ’to keeping men m the army is that it separates married men from their families. The objection has come not only f-'otn the men themselves but also irom the wives at home. Taking wives and children oversex, will b* a b.x ind -xpenshe undertaking, but* one that will be necessary If *e are to keep an • fticiant urtny in md tapu: It the army ’<»!..> a.r - u.u <p exclusive-y oi vol unte e r s wire enlisted with the understanding that they would be sent abroad there would be no occasion, or this liltete move.

The only question in this case was what face-saving maneuver die council night agree upon. The precedent established by the Ineffectual settlement of Iran's appeal was interesting, though !t m*y wed be temporary’. Certainly the referral back to the two countries involved is less a triumph for Ruasta than an out for Britain in the Greek and Indonesian controversies if the British government should want to take advantage of it Thus it might ®*nn that what the United Nations Charter defines as “any dispute, the con* , Unuance of which to likely to endanger the maintenance et laternatkmal peace and security.

What Others Say— I INFANTRY STILL "THE QUEEN” • The Christian Science Monitor* One sobering fact which may be deduced from recently published arnav casualty figures few the European theater u th.it history do“s repeat itself These statistics reveal that the percentage of total casualties sustained by tlx* infantry to both World Wans varied of one per cent.' In s World War One the losses es toe mtantry amounted to 75J per cent, in World War Two 15 02 7>r cent. Thus despite the vastly expanded role of merchanization and air power, the inescapable fact remains that the brunt erf battle is still borne by toe infantryman whether he stags along on foot or drops from a glidet plane. Though armed with a multiplicity of toew weapons ranging frtAn the M-l Garand to toe latest type tank-busting bazooka, the Infantry soldier's task is still fun- ■ damentally the same as it has been since organized warfare began. namely to seek out and come to grips with his foe. No one realizes better than the infantry •oldier, his dependence <m adeuate anqillery. armored forces and air power. Yet. time and time again positions which had been bombed and shelled to rabble could be taken only after the most desperate kind of hand-to-hand fighting. Thus should any further accolade be necessary for these men who struggled up shell-torn beaches or through mud and snow to worm their objectives, they can claim the distinction of having sustained by far the heaviest casualtiM as an added Justification for toe infantry's prou£. title of toe "Queen of Battles." ——-o Japanese General Sentenced To Hang MANILA: (UR) Lt.

Need Self Control To Keep Health Babson Says More Than Money Needed For Getting Well By ROGER 5 W. BABSON BABSON PARK. Fla.: A friend of President Truman has asked me to boost his National Health ptogram. No one appreciates mere tnan I the ihipertance of good health, having cnee been given up tor dead’’ in coH&eeticn with u long sickness of tuberculosis. This is the reason why my offices now are “out in the woods." I still do much work out-of-doors. Naturally, I favor helping these who are ill to get needed time and money for sutficient rest, the best ot all remedies. On the other hand. I hav? learned that financial aid is of little value in keeping well and -getting well unless it is accompanied by self-control. All doctors will agree with this statement. Yes, seh-eon-t'.xrf is* necessary in keeping one’s health in keeping one’s jcb. .vnd in keKv.iig one’s happiness Pi .s> dent Truman should . insist that schools and eoUegts do more to teach and develop self -control. Keeping Wei! Most people know what to do to keep well. They know that they should ent different toed and eat. it mere slowly and regularly: they know that they should go to bed ♦ arlier and sleep in good fresh air: and they know that they should keep their feet dry afid do other tilings that cur mototrs tried to each ua. It »s not knowledge cr memv that most sick people lack; but rather -control. We all need self-control to avoid being careless, lazy ar.d indifferent about the important things of life. We need seif-con-trol to develop good habits and to avoid bad cr careless habits. Our habits are the most important factor in enjoying good health and good jobo. Getting Promoted Too many of my readers are content to drift along at their present job and depend upon labor leaders, friends, or others for advancement. When I was young, most of us wanted opportunities, and laughed at those few people who wanted security. Today, however, most people seem to want security; they lack the self-con-:rel necessary for getting better opportunities, more promotions and higher wages. A foreman must have self-con-trol to keep fit physically and mentally so as to concentrate on his work; self-control to- make friends and self-control to never lose his temper. If he expects to some day go into busmess for himself. he must also have self-con- • NW nioiK'v. wrh the help cf a good wife. The deteimining. factor of whether a man will some day b? an employer, or mu.? always work for someone .also, is this man's ability" to save money. The man. who constantly saves money, can ultimately become anemployer: but the one who does not sare money, must always work for someone else. Investing Money Speaking of money reminds me of the need of elf-control in successful investing. It is not difficult to pick out good stocks. A fewweeks ago I gave a list of 25 stocks.

all of vri 4 i.h have p-tol dividends for over 25 years; and some for 50 years! The important need Is to know when to buy. rather than to know w-hat to buy Mont persons buy only when their neighbors are buying which usually ja too late. The time to buy is during a panic when prices are low. but tots Requires self-control. A person with sufficient self-control could have invested 52.C01) forty years ago and. witheut bcrrewqig a penny, could have matt? it wo, to over $1,500,000 today.—buying and selling cnly nine times during these 48 years. But s..ch a person needed to have self-control enough to Sell uhm others were buying, and to buy when others were selling Success In Business Returning sei vicemen. who hope to go into business for themselves, especially need patience and selfcontrol. -No new business can be expected to pay from the tirst. whether it is a little, factory, a small stoie. or a barber shop. Starting a new business is line planting a tree. It cannet be neglected and needs care and watering for a long time before it bears fruit. .Men starting a business should have the self-control to say “no’’ and stick to it when they should say “no;” and the self-control to say "yes” and stick to it when they- should say "yes.” Sometimes I think that felt-control is a spiritual quality which w’e cannot buy: but wnich we can get only on our knees through humble player. South Bend Strikers Hold Mass Meetings SOUTH BEND.

IT started at breakfast on the A third of July, this thing that shattered my family like the robot bombs that were even then falling on my' London and like a bdmb.-it first set them reeling under the impact and then sent them to bind up their wounds and proudly to hide their scars. I say it began on the third of July, but actually when did it begin? Like the robot bomb did it start its swift course of death and destruction at the moment of its release, or like the robot bomb did it owe its be nning to a chain of circumstances over a period of years? Did it start when Fletcher Willson in a mad moment eloped with •the beautiful Phillipa Carey, or did it begin when some clerk in an employment agency in Philadelphia sent Phillipa Carey out to the Willson mills in the seat of a nearby county for a job? Or did ft begin years before when my Miss Jenny met Hebard Pharr, or did it begin with me? Had I failed to instill something in my Miss Jenny whom I had cared for from the time she was a motherless girl of three. We were having breakfast on the terrace that morning, the one that looks toward the rock gardens. in so short a time to be changed from a scene of natural beauty to a place of sudden death. There was Mr. Willson and my Miss Jenny’, who is Mrs. Willson, Fletcher and Betsy. Andrew Stites, who is my Miss Jenny’s uncle, Dru ' Ellis and myself. There were three i vacant places, those for Phillipa,! Fletch’s wife, and. their twin sons. Andy and Joel, who now that they are five have breakfast and lunch with the family. We had just begun breakfast when Phjllipa. dressed in a riding habit, strolled in. Phillipa was beautiful in anything, but in a riding habit, she could stir even the blood in my spinsterish veins. She was as Coob and arrogant as usual. She looked around the tab? with a mocking smile, tapping one slim hip with her crop. Betsy and Dru rode in any old thing and never carried a crop, but Phillipa when she rede was all ready to be photographed for Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar. “Good morning,” she said and slipped into her place, and I thought to myself. That one has been up to no good. Her voice was even more mocking than her smile. Everything about her, I thought, is a mockery. She is beautiful, yes. Like her hair. Her hair was so golden that you had a feeling that it was not natural but it was. A rpal brazen brass gold and that is the way she was too. My Miss Jenny said, “Good morning. Phillipa. Where are the boys?” My Miss Jenny is gentle and nice to everyone but she was always particularly nice to Phillipa in an effort to make up to her lor not liking her.

Grant Opposed To British Loan Soys Country Cannot Afford To Give Away ; Many More Billions Rep. Robert A. Grant, of South Bend, in opposing the proposed U. S. loan to Great Britain, this week issued the following statement in Washington: “The president' urges speed in ratiire-attan of the British loan but t-vriy Amerirem knows it’s already* late in toe day to do a little sober thinking about our own country's finances. Th his message the president refers to the establishment of the United Nations organization—the enactment erf legislation to support the United Nations Food and Agriculture organization and to carry on the operations of UNRRA. the extension in a broader form of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements act, and the expansion of the ExportImport Bank, and finally the Bret„ton Woods Agreements act. “Tlie president calls these the cornerstone of an orderly economic peace. He states that they will -take us a long way on the road to world-wide security and prosperity. But. he says, we haven't done enough. He insists that we must do still more. “Where is the end? Would the New Deal ever admit that its handouts should be stopped? Is there any point short of national bankruptcy that reason would overtake them and cause them to give just a fleeting thought to our internal debt and the burdens already heaped upon the American taxpayer? "I quite agree with the president when he-says: “Now is the time to establish postwar monetary and financial policies of the United Nations. "The place for us to begin is right here at home. What about the postwar financial policy of the United States? "We are faced with a national debt of some 277 billion dollars. The carrying charges on that debt alone will probably exceed our federal government s entire income

We had just begun breakfast when Phillipa, dressed in » riding habit, strolled in. She was as cool and arrogant as usual.

Phillipa looked around the table and there was a glint in her eye I didn’t like. She raised one shoulder and tapped one bloodred nail against her white even teeth, as though she were trying to remember. “I’ve ser them away,” she said finally She .ooked around the table and smiled sweetly. "Until Friday,” she added, and spooned into her melon. ♦ » • T SAW Betsy’. ?rs grasp the edge of the .-.ole and press against it until they were hard and white. Betsy at 22 adores her brother just as she did when she was three and Fletch eight and she first began to follow him around. Betsy is small and dark and elfin-looking. But she is as gentle as her mother, trying to find the best in everybody, imagining good if there was no way of finding it, like, she alwaysjdid with Phillipa. Betsy was fiercely loyal and much too tender. I used to watch her agonize over a hurt kitten or a sick sheep in the barnyard and be afraid that some day she would spend herself in tenderness and sympathy for some one who was not worth it. But there are things you see in children that are dear to you that you can’t overcon»e; you just have to plant the things, tike courage and honor, and cultivate them in the hope that when they are needed, they will be staunch and strong and stand whatever may happen. That was the way it was with Betsy. Now she leaned across the table toward Phillipa, her soft round breasts pressing hard

in the iate 30 s and before the emergency of the war. “We have a tremendous responsibility toward more than fifteen million veterans that must and will be met. "The, proposed los.n to Britain would bear interest at 2 percent but no payments on principal or interest would be due for mere than five years. What's more, there would be no interest payment due during "bad” yeans. The president says these terms are "neither unusual nor difficult to understand.’’ * “It is my contention that it is both unusual and difficult to understand and at the same time aii affront to the returning GI to whom we offer a small loan at 4 percent with • no five-year moratorium on the interest, and the threat cf a visit by toe sheriff if the payments are not made on schedule. We should bear in mind, toe. that there is no safety clause for the protection cf the veteran if and when he should have a "bad” year. , “The president urges speed in the approval of this loan to assist Britain in meeting her “expected deficit.” What about our own de-' ficit? Thirteen years of deficit spending by the New Deal has us far. far in the red. Notwithstanding the tax and tax. spend and spend, elect and elect theories of the New Deal, there is a limit to the taxes that can be borne on the shoulders of the American taxpayer. , "The president urges speed in the approval of this loan which includes the accompanying cancellation of some 28 billion dollars of lend-lease supplies. A better admonition to the country would be to step, lock raid think. "A good place to begin in a policy cf retrenchment and a return to sanity in the fiscal policies of our government is to stop this gilt of 3,758 million dollars.” j DEADLINE TOMORROW x WASHINGTON: (O.R) The war denartmer.t has issued a reminder that tomorrow is toe deadline for servicemen discharged between Dee. 7. 1941. and Feb. 3, 1944, to apply for mustering, out pay.

against her hands on the table edge. “Friday,” she said and swallowed hard. “Friday, Fletch will be gone.” Her forehead wrinkled in little worry lines. “He goes os Thursday.” She was saying what we were all remembering at the moment That this was probably Fletch’s last leave before going to the Pacific. He had a San Francisco A. P. O. number. He and Phillipa and the twins had come out from their house in suburban Philac ’nhia to stay at ClifT*Edge so that we could all be together for the few days he had. I looked at Fletch-—so did everyone else—and I felt in my throat that hard lump of pride that almost chokes me sometimes when I’look at Fletch, and think that I helped to mold him into the fine man he is. He isn’t handsome; perhaps he isn’t even passably good-looking. He is tall and rangy, but his face is lean and firm and his eyes are steady, and he has strong, sensitive hands. The Willson Mills are making war materials, and Fletch, being his father’s assistant, would not have had to go into the Army, but he went. Almost right away, and it was just fortunate that he had stayed in this country as long as he did. Now he knew that he was moving out and we tried not to mind, because we knew that was what he wanted. But fetch's face now was livid. He stood up. pushing back his chair so hard that it fell over. “Damn you, Phil,” he said. “Some day, so help me, I’ll kill you. . . (To Be
