Gl Student Finds Money

By LAWRENCE F. STl'NTZ
AP Newsfeaturea
Mexico City Take It from Joe Burstein, that veteran's student
allowance goei a whole lot farther in Mexico than It does In
the U. S.
Burstein, atudylng Spanish literature at the Mexico City college,
Is only one of about a thousand veterans now enrolled in school
In Mexico. The U.S. govern
ment pays their tuition and gives
Burstein his wife, Geraldine,
and young daughter, Delilah,
120 a month to live on.
k Burstein won hia right to
the grant by SI months of
overseas duty in North Africa
and Europe with the 591st En
gineer regiment.
Contact with I"mlih--peaklng
people In North
Africa gave him the idea for
bis intended career teaching
Spanish In U.S. schools. He
had had three years of Span
ish In high school "but I
really learned to speak it in
Africa."
He was born in Shanghai 26
years ago, the son of a refugee
White Russian furniture auc
tioneer. His father brought him to the
U.S. when he was 10, stopping
two years along the way In Ciu
dad Juarez, Mexico. But he
had forgotten all the Spanish he
learned there. He grew up in
Marin City, Calif., near San
Francisco.
After the war he went back
to Marin City, married his wife,
Geraldine Percy.
Burstein's allowance amounts
to 1038 pesos a month. Of this,
300 pesos about $35 goes for
a penthouse apartment and an
other 300 goes for food. Other
household expenses take up 150
pesos more and the rest goes for
books, clothing and incidentals.

good at it.
Supper is a light meal, fre
quently Just tea and cookies or
cake. After that comes more
study until bedtime.
Burstein will graduate this
year and then go to San Fran
cisco State College for a year of
pedagogical training to get his
teacher i certificate.
Mexico has more GI students
than any other foreign country
except France. There are 1,322

is the only Latin American coun

The couple had a series of
servants, but couldn't find one
they liked. They finally gave
up, and Geraldine does her
own housework now. It's

San Quentin
Romance Wails
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 16 (U.B
A young couple whose romance
began in San Quentin prison
waited today for a Baltimore
judge's decision which may en
able them to marry.
The man, William Sansbury,
24, of Baltimore, was on trial
for forgery. He was returned to
Baltimore after being paroled
from San Quentin where he ser
ved 21 months for burglary.
At his side was Peggy Peter
sen, 22, who met sansDury at
San Quentin where she worked
as a typist while he was chief
inmate clerk.
Sansbury pleaded guilty to
the forgery charges in crimin
al court yesterday but asked
Judge Robert France to put him
on probation. Sansbury said he
had learned his lesson and want
ed another chance.
Miss Petersen also pleaded for
Sansbury's release and told the
Judge she was willing to pay
$200 as partial restitution for
the forgeries. She added that she
would vouch for his good con
duct in the future.
Sansbury's attorney said the
defendent and Miss Petersen
have applied for a marriage lie
ense and will be wed if the Cal
ifornia parole board gives its
consent. The attorney also Intro
duced a letter of recommenda
tion for Sansbury, written by a
San Quentin psychiatrist.
Judge France said he would
decide whether to grant pro
bation after getting further in
formation from the probation
department.
Hubbard Man Buys
Registered Jersey
Columbus, O., Sept. 9 H. H.
Hansen, Hubbard, has purchased
the registered Jersey Oxford
Favor Queen. The animal comes
from the herd owned by Ralph
J. Wolfe, Woodburn.
The purchase adds to the
steadily growing number in this
area. Dairymen buy Jerseys be
cause of the high quality of the
milk they produce.
Purebred Jerseys are register
ed by The American Jersey Cat
tle Club which has its national
headquarters in Columbus, O.
Several programs are available
through The American Jersey
Cattle Club to help breeders get
the most profits from their Jerseys.
The "Mason and Dixon Line"

Englishmen, Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon, in the 18th Cen
tury to settle territorial disputes
between the proprietors of Mary
land and Pennsylvania.
in certain industries or localities,
set the pattern should be con-'
tent with present scales.
The three things which caused
the recent depression were:
(1) Threatened higher taxes
(2) and excess of manufactured
goods and (3) demand for a
fourth - round, meaning still
higher wages.
President Truman removed
the first fear of higher taxes;
consumers have gradually been
using up the excess inventories;
and now labor has come out in
a manly way by eliminating the
fear of a fourth-round of wage
increases.
Most students of the business
evele do not object to pensions.
Unlike higher wages, they do
not Immediately result In high
er prices and perhaps not at
11. Like unemployment insur
ance, however, they tend to flat
ten out the business cycle mak
ing the booms less reckless and
the depressions less severe.
Pensions can become a great
factor in helping the working
classes and thereby enabling
them to buy more goods in- their
later years. This not only will
help the retail trade, but also
cause retailers to miy more
goods and factories to give great
er employment.
. A fourth - round of wages
would surely make the present
re-adjustment more .dangerous
and the next real depression
more vicious; but pensions are
much in the form of insurance
for retailers, manufacturers and
business in general.
In a way, they are largely a
form of compulsory insurance
and can be classified with sav
ings bank accounts and with life
insurance. The idea that they
are making people "soft" is all
nonsense. Those who naturally
are savers will continue to be
such, while those who instinc
tively cannot save will not save
under any conditions except
through a pension system.
A year ago I gave the United
Press a pessimistic interview
believing that prices would
but the major industries which
tumble, business would decline
and unemployment would in
crease, lhis has taKen place
Commodity prices have gone
off 20 per cent, the slock mar
ket has declined 20 points and
the federal reserve business in
dex has fallen from 195 to 165.
Therefore. I have made good
on my forecast.
I, however, now feel better
about the entire situation. The
declines which I had in mind
a year ago have taken place and
have, at least temporarily, been
checked.
I now believe that most com
modities and good securities are
again a purchase. This also may
apply to some real estate.

Sure You Haven't A
"Blind Spot"?
As I driving down Main
Street last 8a tarda jr. another ear
awunc out right In front of me. It
turned out to be Buck Itlake. He
waan't going fast. It wu jut that
he had aomething elae on his mind
at that particular moment.
Buck's really one of the nicest
fellows I've ever known. But,
sometimes he gets to day-dreaming;
on the road. He sort of gets
a "blind spot" to what's going on
about him I
Now, Iota of normally con i der

hamming out loud at tha atories.
From where I sit, it's mighty
important to be on guard against
your own "blind spots." The other
fellow has a right to his "share of

of sparkling beer or a desire to lis
