None faster for reliev ing headache and neuralgia pains. Your GI Rights Questions and Answers On Servicemen’s Problems BY JOSEPH M. STACK Former Commander * in - Chief) Veterans of Foreign Wars One of the major decisions facing the veterans of World War II is whether or not to exercise his home-loan-guarantee right during these times when real estate and housing inflation has deflated the dollar value of his loan privi lege. General Omar Bradley, Veterans’ administrator, has advised veter ans against buying in the present market. He asks that they wait for at least two years. The V. F. W ’ ; been forced into advising against the purchase of houses produced in whatever quantity and low on quality. We fear that 'long before the house is paid for the real va’’'2 of it will Jiave shrunk. We fear also that oy the time the mort gages and loans are repaid, too many of the present-day jerry built houses will be crumbling, deserted wrecks. From a national economic stand point, we feel that the country will spiral downward into a low economic pitch if the millions of veterans and other citizens who need homes now are forced to default on high mortgages and loans against low valued homes in the future. The better solution would seem to be the construction of more rental units, both temporary and permanent. Every effort under taken so far by the Army, by the Census ■bureau, by theV.F.W., and by others, indicates that a rela tively small percentage of veterans feel they can afford a home or want to buy a new one. It is particularly unfortunate that adequate, decent housing is not available and will not be avail able for some time for all those whose wartime dreams were of their “own home”. The human side of the national housing emer gency is tragic. Unless the housing emergency is met and conquered (jy the nation as a whole, what is the veteran's loss today will be the entire na tion’s loss tomorrow. Dial 2-33X1 For Newspaper Service FOR....

CHIANG PUTS OFF ASSEMBLY ‘CALL’ Opening Session Date Set Forward To November 15 After Conferences NANKING, Nov. 11 — W - China’s off-delayed National assem bly, which is to lay the frame work for a coalition government, was postponed again Monday on the eve of its convocation as the Chin ese Communists steadfastly refused to participate under present condi tions. The government's decision for a further delay until Nov. 15 was reached after daylong conferences. A government spokesman said it met the request of minority parties for more time in which to submit the lists of their delegates. Spokesmen for the Communists and other parties, however, leiter ated their determination not to participate until the assembly w*as convened through all parties. Communist leaders took the posi tion that a forma] convocation of the assembly now would signalize the end of peace negotiations. They have insisted that a prior condition must be a return lo the military status quota of last Jan. 13. While this is unacceptable to the government, it was generally agreed that the government would make some sort of offer in order to avoid holding a one-party consti tutional convention without partic ipation of the Communists or other minorities. Communist spokesman Wang Ping-nan said the government’s cease fire order, effective at noon Mondayj already had een violat ed by the grouping of nationalist forces along the Shensi border re gion for a possible assault on Yen an, Communist headquarters. Government warplanes demon strated over Yenan and the border region Sunday, Wang charged, while ground forces moved into po sitions from which they could jump off for an attack on Yenan. The committee of three, repre senting the government, the Com munists and the United States, dis cussed the cease-fire order without result, Wang said. Communist troops were ignoring the order, he added, because of "past exper iences. Another Communist spokesman, Mei-yi, told a press conference strong government columns under Gen. Hu Chung-nan were converg ing on the Shensi-Kansu-Ningsia border region and ‘‘our fate will be decided in 12 hours.” Yenan is in Shensi province. Government authorities claim ed a victorious end to their cam paign of nearly two and a half months to recapture the northern section of the Peiping-Hankow rail road. They said the final operation, clearing the Communists from be tween Paoting and Shihchiachuang, was completed Sunday night, bare ly 12 hours before the government’s cease-fire deadline.
