Thla appliea not only to Negroea. but to other people. It I impossible to ay, "of the aam race." because so little I known ot the race ot man. although In Hitler time, the racial theorie ot Houston Stew-art Chamberlain and othera Ilka him were emphasized for political purpose. Yet. no on could regard the German a a "pur race." tor they have been Invaded o often by to many vaxtetle of man. Similarly, it would bt difficult to Ignore the role of the Moor In Southern Europe and the mixed relationship among the Roman, tht Ootht, the Vandal. Hannibal armies ...

The Greek and Roman conqueror took vh.ro th. found them and although concubinage may not alsray hav produced legiti mate offspring, the descendants of such unions in fluenced the general character ot the European population. Similarly, all through Asia and In Northern Africa, tht mixtures ot man havt been continuous. Asiatic women hare generally held a fascination chUdret tor Wttttm men. They art so mild and generous and when thty art beautiful, they art without compart. And on needs only to be married Into a Chinese family, to discover that women as wives art universally patterned and that beneath the pig mentation ot tht akin I a woman, a wife, a mother. (WATCHED tht story unfold In "South Pacific" and could only throw my own mind back to my lovely first wife, now deceased, and to tht days when wt discussed tht racial line ot demarcation as a practical problem that wt had to solve. Just as It faces those In "South Pacific." Wt did solve It firmly and practically and to our satisfaction as long as lift endured. And at no time, so tar as I ever knew, were there any regrets or uncertainties. Wt were a husband and wife facing lift together and our problems were never personal. Certainly, then must be "miscegenation ot a hor rible kind In a country that product so much divorce, and often so early In each marriage. What happiness can then bt In a marriage ot tht same kind ot people that smashes upon the rocks ot Incompatibility which can only mean selfishness and cgocenUldty co soon after marriage that the normal adjustment of human being to human being, of personality to personality, could not yet havt taken place. And how difficult Is it for one who has . been happily married to understand this movement ot a good woman from husband to husband, from on man to another, time after time. THIS I nothing to push aside a a hateful subject not to be discussed, and "South Pacific" does discuss It. Of course, the authors an delicate and the music lards the beef, but then It Is to be seen and felt by those who follow tht tale Instead of tht tune. It Is the gist ot tht story and It Is brought to a happy ending when Mary Martin and Exio Plnsa and his two Eurasian children form a family as the curtain falls. But then t also an unhappy ending when Lieutenant Cable cannot marry List, the Indo-Chinese girl, whose mother. Bloody Mary. Is so wonderfully simple and yet so utterly Asiatic. The boy from Princeton cannot go through with It. And so A Oscar Hsmmerstein meets tht prob lem both ways, the way of Kipling and the way of those ot us who saw the soul rather than the pigment. Maybe he offers a choice: maybe he 1 being realistic. For the problem Is met variously, but rarely with such hsppiness as wa my lot. Doctor Says Surgery Required to Make The Prostate Gland Shrink Bv EDWIN P. JORDAN. M. D. Then an several kinds of pros tate trouble. One of them hyper trophy Is definitely associated with aging. Although In many men the prostate tend to shrink with age. In some It enlarges instead. Because of tht position in which It lies, lu Increased size partly shuts oft the free How of urine. The first sign ordinarily is delay and difficulty In beginning urination This develops rather rapidly to a stage in which the bladder cannot be completely emptied. When this happens the bladder wall becomes thickened and thjrefore Is sole to hold less urine so thst the desire to urinate comes more and more often. As the amount ot urine re maining In the bladder Increases, the difficulty becomes worse, the bladder holds less andl then' is In creasing frequency. This often shows up mon at night.

Yet's Mail Bag As a service to Totorans ta tho com munity, UUs nowspoper will publish aa occasional column of newa brief, from tho veterans administration. Tot further Information veterans should contact of wnu uielr Dearest VA office. Veterans with service-connected disabilities rated 50 to 60 per cent. and who have one or more depen dents, will soon receive additional allowances for their dependent by virtue of legislation enacted by the 81st congress, according to the vet erans administration. Prior to pas sage of the new law only veterans rated 60 per cent and up were en titled to dependency allowance. Monthly additional amount for veteran disabled in wartime, based on 60 per cent, are: Wife alone, tl0.50: wife and on child. 117.50; wife and two children. 122.75; wife and three or more chll dren, 128: one child (no wife), ST two children, 112 25; three or more children, 117.50; ont dependent par ent, S8.7S: and two dependent par ents. 17.50. Veterans entitled to compensation for disabilities incurred In peace time service receive 80 per cent of th wsrtlme rate. In order to qualify for dependency allowances, the veteran must sub mit proof of relationship, such as marriage and birth records. Where hi dependent are on record with the VA on December 1, 1949, and the necessary evidence of relation ship and dependency I furnished within five months from that date, the award will be made effective December 1. Otherwise, the effec tive date will be the date the evi dence I received. The VA said it is now reviewing tha case files of veterans rated be tween 50 and (0 per cent disabled so a to advise them of their pos sible entitlement to dependency al lowances. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q. I am a disabled veteran. My OI term Insurance has been lapsed for over a year. Can I reinstate now and what Is the procedure? A. Your term Insurance msy be reinstated If evidence of good health In tht form of a completed report of medical examination Is filed. If the application for reinstatement Is made before January 1, 1950, the existence of good health will not be denied because ot disability or disabilities, less than total In de gree, resulting from or aggravated by active service between October I, 1940 and September 3, 1945.

Boyle's Column Controversial Man in Black Beret Coming for U.S. Visit Bv HU. BOYLE NEW YORK, wv The man In the black beret Is coming to America. It's the most famous beret in the world, and the man who wears It Jauntily is one of the world's most renowned warriors Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery. He arrives Monday on the Queen Elisabeth to talk to American mili tary leaders on- defense measures for fortress Eu rope. For at 83 that Is Monty's Job as supreme commander of the Western Eu ropean alliance to erect a de- tense against Russia. What's he like this -Hero of El Alsmeln?- Weli he's the most controver sial soldier alive. and as hard to describe as a coin which has two sides. There's the legendary Monty, a grinning, reckless apostle ot the principle of attack. And there's the Monty ot fact, a cautious careful planner reluctant to take the of fensive unless victory be practical ly guaranteed In advance. KelliiODs A bishop's son and deeply reli gious, Montgomery Is widely dis liked In his own nation's old guard military circles for his cocky swag ger and brash self-confidence. These same qualities endeared him to the British public. He wss their Patton, and second only to Patton as a col orful personality. The slender, fastidious little sol dier won his spurs as a captain In tht first World War during which he was twice wounded and six time cited for gallantry. In the second World War he learned the lesson of detest as a BOYLE S The World Today ! i By Da-WITT MACKENZIE AP Ferelgn Affaire Analyst MiU'KfcNZIt; major general In the retreat from Dunkerque. and the lesson of tic tory at El Alameln. Chance He got his chance In the Libyan desert by accident. A plane carry ing another British officer to Uke over command of the Eighth army was shot down by the Oermsns. Montgomery, a comparatively un known lieutenant general, then wss sent over. "You can stop digging the Oer mans arent going to get this far." he told his troops. His -desert rats' stopped the Oer man attack, then defeated Rommel at El Alameln. Overnight little Mon ty became the empire's greateat he ro. Methodically he chased the Nasi Africa corps 1400 miles to a Oer man version ot Dunkerque on Cspe Bonn In Tunisia. Montgomery also led his Eighth army In the Sicilian campaign and In Italy. Later he met and defeated Rommel again as commander of Allied ground forces In the Inva sion of Normandy. 'Rnlhlesa' A Oerman tank commander said ot him: MHe is a hard man and ruthless In saining his objective." Monty also had as his axiom be fore attack: "Let's tidy up the battlefield.- That was his way of say ing, "let's be sure we're ready." His genius for winning the heart of the British common soldier wss exemplified by a number of reforms he instituted In his post-war army. "Why shouldn't the soldier read In bed If he want to?" said Monty. "I always do." Better Man? Monty Is reported to have told Churchill once that he was 100 per cent fit because he neither smoked nor drank. The pudgy prime minis ter s reply: "I smoke, I drink, and I'm 300 per cent fit! In Hollywood Tht Western powers having al least temporarily contained the bul- slievlst drive In Europe, America la making tnergttle moves to strengthen her position In the Par East where communism's mounting success threatena to turn that part of tht glove Into Hie political arm agrddnn of the Isms. With this In view Uncle Bam s head diplomat) In Eastern Asia havt been or dered to hold a regional confer ence In Hang kok. Thai land. In January to consider tht general situa tion. Meantime the Washington a d m I n I a tra Hons top di plomatic trouble shooter, Ambas sador Philip C. JessUD. also will make a survey of th situation and then meet with his colleagues In the Siamese capital. That will be a ma tor policy conference. This whole vast area fairly bristles with problems. Foremost among these are th question ot a Japanese peace treaty; the position of strategically located Korea, which I a land divided against It self communist In the north and democratic In the south: the com plex Chinese situation where Oen eraltsslmo Chiang Kai-shek's Nation altst government has sll but been knocked out In the military sense. Complicated From the American standpoint the Chinese situation has been serious ly complicated through the Im prisonment of 17. 8. consul Oeneral Angus Ward and four of his staff by the communists In Mukden. Pres ident Truman has denounced this as an outrage. The Reds charge Ward aith having beaten a Chinese em ploye, and they have Ignored official American Inquiries regarding the prisoners. One of the Immediate results of this ugly controversy has been the declaration by Secretary of State Acheson that the United Stales won't even think about recognising the Red Chinese regime tn Prlplng until Ward Is released. What effect thla will have on the Communists remains to be seen, but It undoubt edly will hurt, became they want and need recognition by the West ern powers. Moreover they need ma terial assutanre. especially of the sort which only America could supply. Ticklish There now arises the ticklish Ques tion of just who Is boas in Pelplng the Red leader Oeneral Mao Tse tung, or Moscow. The Chinese Com munists of course hsve bound themselves to Moscow and diplo matic quarters In Washington are uncertain whether Mao has full free dom of action. Russia la suspected ot having special Influence with the Communists In Mukden and else where In Manchuria. For this reason one possible move by the state department Is to ask Russia to Intervene with the Red Chinese government. Chinese Nationalist fortunes con tinue to fall. Enemy forces draw In on the provisions) capital of Chungking, and the American em bassy and consular personnel are scheduled to leave for Hong Kong tomorrow. It's said tins won't affect diplomatic relations between tht Ns tlonallsts and Washington.

But as Sterling sees it: "This really Is my first esreer. As far as I'm concerned, I never msda a picture before." Hayden was a prewar sensation with the bobby-sox as Msdelelne Carroll's leading man In "Virginia" and "Bahama Passage." He did all right with Madeleine, too. She be came Mrs. Hayden. But their marrisge ended In di vorce and the war ended his ca reer. He returned to Hollywood an OSS hero, but a nonentity to a new crop of studio executives and directors. Paramount loaned him out for a couple of B's and then dropped him from the payroll. He remarried, be came a father and avoided Holly wood by living on his boat at San Pedro Harbor. Now Huston ssys he's giving a terrific performance In a rugged, he-man character part.

Business Mirror Government Doesn't Regard Debts as Business Men Do By MAIIFR WINOKT , tl-or Ham llawaonl NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (V-There s out big dlfferenct between your personal debt and government spending the government doesn't havt to worry aa much about run ning In Uit red. The government hss been going deeper Into debt almost every year fur the last aeon of years. Tht gross public debt stands at 154, 06.es.Jl II. as ot November It. Back In 1919 the public debt was only about 940.440.000.ooo. And way back In 140 Hit public debt was a men 84.0O0.000. The Increases have resulted from pending at a greater rait each year than Uses are collected. For the fiscal year ending next June 30. there will bt an estimated deficit .11 the year's spending of 95X0.000.000. Any Individual running Into debt at that pace soon would be declared bankrupt. Aa a matter of fact, you probably couldn't spend mora than you made so consistently. Your credit would be so poor that within a short time nobody would lend you any money. That would affect you alone. With Uie government It's differ ent. For many years the federal government sought to balance the budget every year and have lta current alate of debt wiped clean before the old fiscal year died. That as much like th Chinese custom ot being In no man's debt when th firecrackers banged and the dra una danced In celebration of Uie new Chines year. Times 4'hange But times have changed In tills country tn the last hundred years or so. In the 1840 s the United States was a fledgling nation barely out of It colonial awaddllng clothes. America and It public debt had no more effect on the world's economy then than today'a official foreign exchange rate of tht Greek drachma has now. Even before the last war, the Anierlran public debt was largely an Internal affair, managed so thai It had a minimum of Influenct on private business. Thst philosophy of debt man agement has changed. Today the sue of Uie debt and how It la managed la a controlling factor In the world's economic destiny. For Policy Back In the depression 30 a. Pres ident Roosevelt put Into practice th first part of an economic theory that the government should go Into debt and spend enough money In times of depression to get business going again. The second part of that theory Is that the government should cut down the debt by spending less dur ing limes of prosperity. In the end of a given cycle government books would be tn balance on an over-all basis. W have prosperity now and w havt a hug debt and wt an run nlng In Uit red agsln. That brings up Uit sjuattloa) whether llvt government choulit aorry now about trying to achlsvt an annual budget balance at thlt time. That could be don by tower ing exiiendlturt. Increasing Uses, or both. President Truman Indi cated yesterday he will ask for a Ux Increase to avoid a 1850-11 deficit. aayder't lot In Washington thla week theta are a series of hearing on federal monetary policies before a Joint congressional committee. Bocrelarv o' Uie Treasury John Snyder told that hearing: Tht general tconomlc wtlfare of the country should be tht guiding principle in determining for any given period whether tht federal budget should bt balanced, should how a surplus, or should show a deficit, and In determining tht site of any surplus or deficit" During tht wsr there was na question aa to the guiding principle It wss win tht war and hang tht txpenst. Sine Uie war wt have been win ning tht peace at a heavy enst-e" the American Uxpayer. In Uie last four ytara w havt spent around fit 0O0.0O0.000 on foreign aid with a bi-partisan for eign policy. It was necessary. Uit government said, to rehabllllaia war ravaged European countries, lo get their creaking governments storking smoothly again, and lo make Europe a eelf-sufflrlent bas tion against communism. At tha same lime our surplus food pro duction has been shipped aboard, thus relieving downsrd pressure qn domestic prices. Argument The argument runs that all this money and other government spending Isn't going down Uie dram. A lot of It Is In loans thst art scheduled to be repaid; we art establishing healthy foreign mar keu for our products: and there si foreign rehabilitation projects which will return benefits to tht United mate Uist can't be meas ured In dollars but nonetheless can't be counted aa a loss. In a way. It's like buying a house, these advnratea contend. When you buy a 810 000 home you may put up 4000 of your savings and get a leooo mortgage payable In 30 yeara with Interest. You don't count that In your household budget aa money pent all within that ont year. You apread It oyer 30 yeara. You are buying a comfortable place to live In now, and security for your future.
