And in their behalf we ask the hospitality of borough and the neighborhoods wherever they find homes. It is a great venture indeed that these girls have undergone. Love the mating instinct have uprooted them from their native land, their and friends. The prospect of beginning a new life with a new hustand in a foreign land is one that would balk the timorous.

The men who fought overseas, and who while stationed in England found the choices of their hearts, have a right to expect their wives will be welcomed by their fellow Potts- tonians. And know they will be. Beyond a perfunctory welcome, we trust they will the many kindnesses and consideration that are needed to complete a readjustment in a strange land. America has been built by stuff like that. Crime ave Stopped EANECK, N.

Francisco partially solved its downtown parking problem a number of years ago by building an under ground garage convenient to its shopping district.

The construction combines utility and beauty. On the street level is beautiful Jackson Square with grass and shrubbery. Benches provide a place to sit and rest. The garage has, I believe, a capacity of 1500 cars. It was constructed by the city with the aid of an RFC loan.

Its interior is beautiful and the service is excellent. By taking over a block downtown, Pottstown could provide not much- needed parking place for cars, but also a beautiful park. Pottstown PARKER Filibustering Hurts U. S. Prestige To the Editor: We have been told that the prestige of the United States has been falling due to GI demonstrations against demobilization slowdown.

In a time when good government is desperately needed, is it not also seriously falling when the senate wastes its time filibustering? Certainly the world isn't going to look toward the United States for leadership when United States senators intentionally kill time by reading minutes and piddling with technicalities. Is that the best way we have of running a democracy? Pottstown R- N- G. Mammon or Peace To the Editor: To preserve enduring peace will be difficult because peace is always a secondary consideration and the incessant scramble for the almighty dollar claims our first attention.

Capital Camera Bv JANE EADS WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 a recent White House tea, Mrs. Truman and daughter Margaret were chatting with old neighbors, the president of the National Press Club and Mrs. Paul Wooten. Mrs.

Wooten allowed as howr the mans who lived in the apartment above them had been the best neighbors they'd ever lived under. Mrs. blue eyes twinkled as she looked first at Mrs. Wooten, then at Margaret. never forget the she said, I came home from a shopping trip and found that Margaret had rolled back all the rugs and was roller skating over the bare flours from room to Margaret Truman Margaret, it seemed, was only 11 years old at the time and Mrs.

Wooten insisted she had been not the least disturbed. INCIDENTALLY, the First Lady's talents as a hostess are the talk of the capital. Giving two teas in one afternoon is no easy feat for any woman. When you entertain 250 guests at each, with only a 15-minute interval between the two, that is a real accomplishment. Mrs.

Truman has carried it off on two occasions at the White House without appearing the least perturbed. The first batch of guests arrives at 4 and they are supposed to get out by 4:45 p.m, so the crumbs can brushed awav in the State dining room, the floor vacuumed." the silver urns refilled with hot tea and coffee and the plates restacked with cakes. Getting the guests out is the biggest problem The way the First Lady does it is to disappear. Taking Margaret along with her. she retires to the family rooms on the second floor.

It's not protocol for anyone to leave before the President's wife and just plain bad manners to linger after gone. Finally the big doors of the dining room are closed and the household help work like beavers in the scant minutes left before another horde moves in to empty the urns and plates and scatter crumbs all over again.

Indian Freedom Group Seeks American Support By MORRIS J. HARRIS (ASSOCIATED PRESS NFWS ANALYST) National Committee for Freedom, that, portion of the Indian Congress Party reputed to be willing to resort to violence in its battle for political freedom from the British if other methods fail, is attempting to put pressure upon the United States for aid in accomplishing its objectives. In a letter to Secretary of State Byrnes, Anup Singh, secretary In the United States Washington) for the Indian freedom committee, said atmosphere In India Is charged with dynamite.

A new famine might easily blow off the lid. Chaos, possibly revolution. In India will seriously Jeopardize the peace of matter of deep concern to all nations and particularly to America, the acknowledged leader among Singh was writing Byrnes specifically about the threatening famine which, according to Indian and foreign reports from New Delhi, may take a toll of 100,000.000 Indian lives if it occurs. Singh told Byrnes India wanted American support for its claims for greater food allowances from th International Food Control board and sthat if feeling should grow in India that America has tailed to do all in her power to back up the measures necessary to off famine in India, the cordia) relationship between the two countries would draw vour attention, Singh continued in his lengthy communication to the American cabinet member, to the fact that in the of the Ind.an peonle the United Stales Is directly involved in this problem (famine), as, in their belief, she is dominant in the decisions of the International Food Control Thus far Byrnes has given no Indication that he has taken notice of the letter, but it is a sufe assumption that the State department will not supinely permit itself to be Jockeyed into position where blame for conditions in the British dependency on the side of the world may be laid at its doorstep. In a second lengthy pronouncement addressed to members of the United States Senate committee on Immigration, Singh called for speedy passage of the Indian immigration bill now before the Senate.

Under the measure, which passed the House last year, about 100 Ea-st Indians would be accepted yearly a.s Immigrants into the United States and rbout 4000 Indian residents in this country would be declared eligible for American citizenship. The Senate immigration subcommittee under the chairmanship of Senator Eastland, Democrat from Mississippi, which inherited the Indian bill when it came to the upper house, is not showing much inclination to get on with it. In fact, Eastland says he has no idea when it will receive committee consideration. Singh said Indian legislators are veering to the view that the and extended to Americans in India need no longer be offered unless the United States is willing to extend similar facilities. As a result of the passage last year of the Chinese immigration law, the Indians, according to Singh, feel they are being discriminated against.

A RECENT SURVEY of more than one thousand accidents in a certain industrial plant showed that the greatest number occurred between 11 00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.

And why sho lid that be? Well, many industrial health authorities think that this may have something to do with the fact that there r.re too many workers who neglect eating a sufficient amount of the proper foods for breakfast. Years ago. breakfast was made up of a variety of foods, but gradually more and more people have cut down not only on the amount of food they consume at breakfast but also the quality of the food and there are far too many who do not eat enough to keep them alert for the they arc doing. This not only has meant high accident rates during morning hours, but a lower efficiency rate as well. Surveys have shown that many workers do not eat any breakfast at ail.

In addition, many of them have to travel long distances to get to work and the trip alone may take as much out of a person as working for one or hours. In some instances, fast is no more than a cup of coffee and a slice of toast, but even breakfasts that are often do not include enough of tht- right kind of foods. According to Dr. Robert S. Goodhart of the United States Public Health Service, the simple basic breakfast w'hich every person might with benefit from Infancy up includes fruit, cereal, egg, milk, bread and butter.

If additional food is required it may be supplied by breakfast meats or larger portions of the foods mentioned. Many nutrition authorities seem agreed that from one-fourth to one-third of the amount of food consumed each day should be eaten at breakfast. This is recommended not only for industrial but for all persons. Three regular well-balanced meals a day is the best way of maintaining strength and vitality. This means that the meals shah supply all the necessary food carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

And, by all means, do not neglect breakfastl.
