. DEAR ABBY: I married a wid
ow who had a four-year-old daugh
ter. We are very happy and get
along very well, but her continued
close relationship with her ex-in-laws
irritates me. I never knew
her first husband and, although I
have heard that he was a fine fel
low, I am not particularly interest
ed in socializing with his parents.
I prefer that my wife forget them.
To what extent am I obligated to
" be friendly to these people? .
' SECOND HUSBAND '
! DEAR SECOND: If you love your
, wif, don't resent hr close rela
tionship with her ex-in-laws. She is
no longer their daughter-in-law,
but her child is THEIR grandchild,
and always will be. And they prob
ably love her all the more because
she is a part of the son they lost.
No one expects you to pretend a
warmth that is not sincere, but be
understanding, and don't ask your
wife to "forgot" them.
- DEAR ABBY: I am married to
a good man. He has worked hard
and has attained a fail amount of
success. Ki travels quite a bit, his
investments have been good and
his company has been good to him.
My complaint? He brags! (I even
hate the word.) I cringe for him.
He is rather intolerant of criticism
and I'd be afraid of the consequenc
es if I ever told him how embarras
sing his bragging is. He'd probably
never open his mouth in public
again if I protested. So, Dear Abby,
will you protest for me? Perhaps
other long-suffering wives will bless
you. too.
' : HIS WIFE
DEAR WIFE: I prottstl
DEAR ABBY: Every time I go to
my girl friend's house her father
hits ine up for a buck so he ran
bet it on a' horse with me. I've
never won anything yet. and I'm
not that crazy about gambling.
Should I keep quiet and keep hand
ing him dollars, or should I tell
him I'm not interested in horses?
NO BETTOR
DEAR NO: Quit handlna him
dollars and tell your girl friend you
are no bettor. If she doesn't tip off
her eld man, she's no better.

Black Muslims Say Crimes
Of Whites Will Be Avenged
By H. D. QUIGG
United Press International
, America will pay.
The crimes of the white man
will be avenged. The black man
is the original man, the father of
civilization: "The bourgeois Negro
leaders don't know this, and they
don't want us to tell you."
Thus spoke Malcolm X, East
Coast leader of the Black Mus
lims in a public address.
"The white man gave you
Jesus and Jesus is all you got.
"The white man killed us
culturally, killed us spiritually.
Twenty million people don't know
their names, don't know their cul
ture ....
. "God will make their planes fall
out of the sky. Make their ships
sink."
Threatens Whites
To the white man: "Your little
babies will get polio . . . Your
slock market plummets . . . God
is after you! God is repaying
you!"
Malcolm X knows well the vices
of the white man. In the Harlem
where he is making the streetsidc
speech, he once was "Big Red,"
and he was well integrated with
the white man.
"No one," he says, "drank more
alcohol or smoked more reefers
than 1 did when I was a Christian.
"I sold dope in Harlem. You
can't get ('ope, prostitutes, in
Harlem without the consent of the
police department. And organized
crime is running rampant here.
Our school girls arc becoming
& restitutes . . . Our high school
oys are becoming fairies . . . Am
I right or wrong?"
(A massed yell: "Right!")
Forego Vices
"The followers of the honorable
Elijah Muhammad don't drink
alcohol, engage in reefer smok
ing, or tobacco smoking.
"He stopped us from using pro
fanity, from being rude and loud.
He teaches us to obey the law,
and to respect the law officers as
long as they respect themselves. . .
"He teaches us to take a hot
bath once every 24 hours ... to
keep a clean body, clean mind,
clean speech, clean behavior,
clean home, and clean community.
He teaches his followers to clean
up whatever community they are
in.
"First elevate the morals of our
people. Once that is done, we don't
have to wait for the white man
to elevate us we'll elevate our
selves. "Our children never see us
drinking, taking dope, arguing
and automatically juvenile delin
quency is eliminated."
Blasts Integration
You don't Want integration?
"Mr. Muhammad teaches us
that integration is only a trick on
the part of the white man today
to lull Negroes to sleep, to lull
them into thinking that the wh'e
man is changing and actually
trving to keep us here."
As for the Rev. Martin Luther
King: .
"Any Negro who teaches other
Negroes to turn the other cheek
in the face of attack is disarm
ing that Negro of his God-given
right, or his moral right, of his
natural right, of his intelligent
right to defend himself. Every
thing in nature can defend itself,
and is right in defending itself,
except the American Negro."
Termination Of The Bracero Program May
Have Wide Effect On Farm PricesWages
DISREGARDS OBJECTIONS
CAPE TOWN, South Africa
(UPI (-Joseph Satterwaite, U.S.
ambassador to South Africa, has
served notice on the government
that he plans to host a multiracial
Fourth of July reception here
despite official disapproval.
Foreign Minister Eric Louw ear
lier asked the diplomatic corps to
hold only one reception to cele
brate national, days. This would
automatically rule out multiracial
embassy fetes. ,
SALINAS, Calif. (UPI) The
ending of the bracero program is
expected to boost farm wages
sharply and to increase the
price of fruits and vegetables.
And it may set off a. chain
reaction of far-reaching conse
quences which could seriously
disrupt numerous communities.
A bracero is a Mexican who
I comes to the U.S. for a few lim
ited months to help harvest crops.
Last year 195.000 roamed as far
east as Indiana.
They are nothing like the
stereotype idea of Jose dozing un
der a sombrero. "They kill them
selves working, a Sacramento,
Cajif., worker once complained at
a government hearing.
Here in Salinas, Clancy Wilson,
a field supervisor, explains that
a bracero is eager because "he
comes, to us hungry."
One of his workers, Luis Tor
res, 35, said that in Ins own
Zacatecas village he earns only
10 pesos (83 cents) a day. lie
hopes to take homo enough money
to buy a cow for his family of
six.
In tli is country braceros are paid
prevailing wage rates. .Most bra
ceros work in the southwest
where earnings vary between 50
cents an hour in parts of Arkan
sas, New Mexico and Tcxus ami
$1.33 in California.
Hard Work
Generally, braceros do ' the
"stoop labor," bending to pluck
vegetables under the hot sun 10
to 12 hours a day, seven days a
week. They live in long, narrow
dormitories, isolated from town,
whilo their families romain in
Alexico.
The bracero program began
during tho Korean War under an
agreement with the Moxican gov
ernment. Mexico benefited be
cause returning braceros were a
major source of dollars and con
tributed new ideas to their vil
lages. Last month the U.S. House of
Representatives, at the urging of
labor and church groups, refused
to extend the program beyond
Dec. 31.
Its opponents said the braceros
kept U.S. wage rates down. Now
that 5 9 per cent of the nation's
workers are unemployed, they
said Mexican help is no longer
needed.
According to former Labor Sec
retary James P. Mitchell, a Re
publican, its presence forces
Americans to work under condi
tions which are "an affront to
the conscience of the American
people."
But the House action was large
ly unexpected. Farmers, who had
wanted a gradual phase-out, arc
demanding, where can they get
substitutes? California', which uses
braceros all year long, alone lias
72,900 at peak periods.
Farmers say they cannot ob
tain enough domestic field labor
because- the work is too hard. Al
so, many workers now must leave
their families at home' while trav
eling to distant harvests.
The American agricultural
worker is lucky if he works nine
months a year. Since his earnings
Include no fringe benefits such as
unemployment and medical insur
ance, ho goes on relief when out
of work.
' Local volunteers no longer turn
out in large numbers to help dur
ing critical times. Farmers say
teen-agers nowadays don't want
much to help and aren't much
good when they do.
Wage Hike Proposals
Tho answer, the AFL-CIO says,
is to drastically increase, wages.
For example, some California
labor leaders believe that a 50
per cent wage increase next year
would produce plenty of workers.
This argument is supported by
the world's largest lettuce 'grow
er. Bud Antle, a maverick )n his
industry. Next year will 'be a
headache,- he says, but higher
wages will attract enough workers
and they may be able to: form
permanent local work forces.
That ' would pose some J giant
problems for numerous commun
ities. ' i
American farm laborers' have
wives and children in this' coun
try. But areas now using bracer
os, have no houses and no schools
for such families and no eager
ness to see their relief rolls soar.
Salinas, population 50,000 illus
trates the magnitude of the. prob
lem. It is the heart of a valley
producing half the nation's lettuce
and artichokes and at peaks peri
ods it now uses 13,500 braceros.
In addition, city manager; Tom
Dunn, fears that American agri
cultural workers will include
largo numbers of alcoholic .burns,
flooding jail facilities. Other Sali
nas citizens say they are.franklv
afraid minority group would
come to live full-time.
SHIPS COLLIDE
YOKOHAMA, Japan (UPI) The
38-ton Japanese coastal vessel
Koho Maru 18 sank early Tuesday
following a collision with the
American freighter Evergreen
State. v
An intensive search was
launched for the helmsman of tho
Japanese ship, the only one of
the 23 crewmen missing following
the collision off Gozensaki Capo
in Central Honshu Province.- The
others were picked up by another
Japaneso vessel.
Tho American freighter appar
ently sustained no serious damage.
DEAR ABBY: I always thought
you had pretty good sense until I
notice you agreed that a husband
should help his wife with the house
work. I raised 14 children and my
husband never once changed a
baby or washed a dish. I think a
man who works from eight to ten
hours a day does enough, and it's
not his place to do housework. I
ashed with a tub and board, and
never owned a washing machine
until 22 years ago. I've been mar
ried 43 years. The younger women
are getting so lazy it's pitiful.

Morse Wants Cut
in Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen.
Wayne Morse, D Ore., said this
week that he thinks President Ken
nedy's $4.5 billion foreign aid re
quest can lie cut "in the neighbor
hood of 25 per cent."
Morse made the statement to
newsmen after Secretary of State
Dean Rusk appeared before the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee to answer questions about the
request. The Oregon Democrat Is
a member of the committee.
Morse told Rusk at his appear
ance that he was advising con
stituents that he planned to "cut
where it is safe to cuL"
He also told Rusk that the U.S.
should be insisting that its West
European allies pay a larger
share of the bill for assistance in
such areas as Africa.
Rusk replied that the U.S. was
pressing vigorously for the allies
to expand their aid programs.
Morse also was critical of U.S.
trade policies. He told Rusk that
he has just about given up hope
that U.S. negotiators will retaliate
under tariff and trade agreements
against foreign governments dis
criminating against American
poultry and fruit.
Rusk testified that such acllom
as those against U.S. poultry were
difficult to combat because retali
ation, which might help oilier
commodities, does not help poul
try itself.
