(By Paul Jenkins) ' Husband's Slapping Of Wife Justified, Court Says BOSTON. Feb. 8. UP) There are circumstances, holds the Massa chusetts supreme court, under which a husband can slap his wife's face and get away with it. Mrs. Elsie E. Hamilton of Dan- vers contended, in a probate court suit, that the slap constituted cruel and abusive treatment and that therefore she should have a divorce. The probate court judge thought otherwise. Windows, Frames and Ladders PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. 8. Ptpne 242 Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist 129 N.

Hamilton threw a wet hand kerchief into the eye of her husband Wilhelmus, who responded with the slap. Here's what the court opinion, written by Justice Edward A. Couni han Jr., said: "We do not believe this single act of violence to the woman, if it was violence, constitutes cruel and abusive treatment "We are of the opinion that the provocation was great and there was fault on the part of the woman."

UP) The Jump unemployment has just taken to 4 postwar peak of nearly 4M, million brings up two questions today: 1. Is this peak, representing s?ven per cent of the total civilian labor force, at the danger point? 2. Can the nation's economy ab sorb the steadily rising labor force, and how? Economists say four per cent unemployment is "normal," seven per sent is not yet dangerous, and they expect the spring pickup in business to whittle it. Each year our expanding popula tion brings forth about 600,000 more people who are willing and able to work. This means that to keep employment high and to pre vent unemployment from rising dangerously, all those already at work must hold their jobs, and at the same time -around 600.0S.' new jobs must be found each year Building Alktd To do this, economists urge: That industry 'build a greater physical plant, so that more peo ple will have a place to work; and, then, greater output, to pay the additional workers. It won't be easy. This goal was set forth by Presi dent Truman in his economic re port: Reduction of unemployment by the end of this year to "2 mil lion, or 2V4 million at most;" 61 million civilian jobs; and "step ping up our national output by about 7 per cent above the 1949 total." Yet, Commerce Secretary Saw. yer says the nation's jobless total has jumped to almost million, a gain of 1.8 million over the previ ous January. He says 50.7 million persons are working in no-farming jobs, and (.2 million on the (arms. 5 Percent Of Force The 214 million unemployed, which President Truman set sa a goal, would be about 4 percent of the labor force, or "normal." The low point in postwar unemploy ment came at the boom's peak in October, 1948. When the jobless were only 2Vi per cent of the labor force, which economists call "ab normally low." But percentages are cold things To the man out of a job, hii situa tion is 100 per cent unemployment. In the city where an industry goes down, the situation is far from normal. However, to the dealer in percentages, five million unem ployed is the "danger" mark in relation to the present total labor force. A business man's views of the problem underlying the recent spurt in unemployment is set forth by W. Walter Williams of Seattle, chairman of the commit tee for economic development. He tells the National Automobile Deal ers' association, meeting in At lantic City: "Our population Is rising, and If industry does not expand suffi ciently to absorb the new entrants into the labor force, we will de velop an unemployment problem of considerable magnitude. We are not now producing at rates high enough to sustain what is common ly considered to be high employ ment. The winter ' months are seasonally low as far as employ ment is concerned, but employ ment will have to rise during the year if we are to have a healthy and prosperous economy." On these points, President Tru man urges further private invest ment based ."on confidence in FERRET STRINGS WIRE RAPID CITY, S. D.-4tf-A fer ret became the one-day hero of the air force at the Rapid City air base, key northern B-36 bomber outpost. A special harness rigged on the weasel-like animal, named "Pete," permitted 1 him to string an important telephone wire six feet under the huge re-inforced concrete runway. Puzzled engi neers feared they would have to tear up the costly runway to lay the wire. Finn Timmons, owner of the fer ret, sicked him on the job of tra versing the 2,210-foot conduit with an order, "Take it through, Pete. ' Pulling a string, Pete made it in 20 minutes the first run. On the fourth and final trip, it took the tired, 18-ounce ferret three and one-half hours. The slim, slinky ferrets usually are used for rabbit and rodent hunting. growth;" and that productivity per worker be increased by at least 2 to 2V4 per cent a year. Williams notes that expenditures in the first quarter of 1950 for new plant and equipment are estimated as 15 per cent" lower than last year's first quarter so that job opportunities aren't expanding at the old rate. Increased productivity, Williams adds, means "greater output per man-machine-hour; for the worker this means working better, not harder." He urges labor and management to get together "to increase the size of the whole pie to be divided among all of us." THE YARN SHOP 230 N.
