Engagement Rings
For Men Proposed
NEW YORK A Manhattan
chemical engineer says American
men. despite reports to the con
trary, definitely are wearing en
gagement rings.
Mathew Rosenthal, former ma
rine captain in the Pacific, esti
mates his company has sold more
than 312.000 such rings during the
past 16 months. A representative
of the company explained. "They
are not diamonds. They're made
out of a secret mineral composi
tion, almost as hard as a diamond,
which has been perfected by Mr.
Rosenthal."
The setting, which sells for SI7
wholesale, looks like a black cameo
and has a man and woman's head
on it. Rosenthal's company sells
the stones to retail jewelers who
put them into rings selling from
$35 to $75.
Rosenthal now has 27 lapidaries
working on the new idea. Every
worker is a war veteran. The rep
resentative said. "They don't go
well in big cities. But, boy, they
sell in the rural districts."
American Warships
To Add to Chinese Navy
WASHINGTON A bill authoriz
ing transfer to China of 271 small
American warships to be used in !
forming a new Chinese navy has
been passed by the House, 313 to
32.
The bill, which now goes to
the Senate, permits the President
to make an outright gift Of the ves
sels if he desires. Rep. Tarver,
(D.-Ga.), offered an amendment to
require some payment, but it was
rejected by a 78 to 13 standing
vote after opponents' said the ves
sels will be strapped if they are
not transferred to the Chinese.
Two amendments were approved.
One limits the number of person
nel to be assigned to the Chinese
to 100 officers and 200 enlisted
men. Another specifies the Secre
tary of the Navy may authorize
higher pay for tliem to meet In
creased living costs.

Study Shows That
Rich Have Fewer
Children In U. S.
NEW YORK Children from
"the other side of the tracks" will
compose increasing proportions of
future generations, largely sup
planting, at least in numbers, per
sons now identified with America's
"best families."
This conclusion, long a recog
nized factor in population studies,
is emphasized anew in studio; of
United States Census figures
which provide the first truh
nat ion-wide survey.
The figures show:
Parents with good educations
and comfortable incomes have lew
children.
Parents with little education and
small incomes i indicated by rental'
value of homes) have many chil
dren. Three Main Items
The tabulations were made
mainly from three items in the
last census:
rental value
children.
One study
leased by the
Years of schooling:
of home; number of
of the Census re
Population Reference
Bureau of Washington, shows that
college' graduates leave 55 chil
dren for every 100 parents. Par
ents with only four years of school
ing leave 195 children for every
100 parents.
Another tabulation by the same
agency shows that persons from
homes which have an estimated
rental value of $75 to $100 a
month leave 77 children for every
100 parents. Hut persons so poor
that rental value of their homes
was estimated that less than $5.00 a
month leave 203 children for every
100 parents.
(These figures deal with women
45 to 49 years old whose families
are presumed to he largely com
plete. '
' Guy Irving Unroll. Director of
the Reference Hureau, calculates
that there must be an average of
2.22 children per woman if a gen
eration is to replace itself. This
is because some children fail to
reach maturity.)
Average Decreases
Step by step, from homes of
lowest rental value and parents of
lowest education, the average num
ber of children to a parent de
creases in each next higher bracket.
The finding follows the trend in
dicated by previous partial sur
veys, even to the one variation at
the top where persons with home
rental values above $100 a month
average 83 children per 100 par
ents, six more than the 77 for par
ents in the next lower bracket
S75 to S1()0.
The break comes at $30-a-month
rental value and fourth-year high
school. Above those levels Ameri
can families, on the average, fail
to replace themselves.
The Reference Bureau studies
indicate also that the differential
is increasing. It is higher in
younger groups than it is in older
groups. In the 20-29 age group
United States college graduate
women reported only one sixth as
many children as the fifth and
sixth graders. But the Reference
Bureau warns that such figures
must be used with caution. High
standard persons tend to have
more of their children later in life
and the six-to-one gap may be
narrowed somewhat.
Indicating the broad diversity of
studies which can be made from
the Census figures, Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company statisti
cians report that educated wives
married to uneducated husbands
have fewer children than unedu
cated wives married to educated
husbands.
The contrary is 599 children per
1,000 wives where the wife has
five to six years' schooling and the
man has gone to college, as against
383 where college women marry
men of only five or six years'
schooling.

WITH THE COLUMNISTS
SPYING David Lawrence
The American people can hardly blame the Russians for
their etrorts to ferret out secrets from the Canadian Govern
ment or any other government when the United States Gov
ernment is making preparations to use a world-wide spy system
itself. The use of espionage in wartime has always been recog
nized as on a parity with the other deviations from a moral
code between enemy countries but the concept of peaceful
nations spying on one another when they are supposed to be
friendly is something that cannot be denounced just when it is
applied by ltussia.
NAVY TEST Frederick Palmer
When Hie Navy experts should be very excited over the
pro'-pecls of ending their careers in case the Navy is as help
less as a l!y-su alter against an A-bomb attack, 1 find them
quite cool. They want the test-tube truth between what are
either overestimates or underestimates of the A-bomb's power
as differently reported from Hiroshima.
MEKKY GO ROUND Drew Pearson
Millions of Negroes remember the day when Ickes invited
Marian Anderson to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
after the DAI! had turned her down. They know of Ickes'
appointment of a Negro governor to the Virgin Islands, which
Southern Senators are now blocking, and his many speeches
in .Negro centers during crucial days of past campaigns.
Itesull of all these events: even more optimistic Demo
crats will admit that the strategic Negro vote which once went
solid for Roosevelt, has now slipped over to the GOP column.
STRENGTH Sumner Welles
Tun w ars ago the United States had reached a peak of
inilustri.il and agricultural production, and all elements among
the Anic i uan people were working together in unparalleled
unity.
Today, production within the United States has been
largely li.ipcil. and American unity is disintegrating.
Today the Russian people are continuing as one man to
fa'-liioii tin- military and industrial strength demanded by
t heir government.
DEFENSE Wm. Philip Simms
The atomic bomb has radically changed the whole com
plexion of our national defense. If we go back to sleep now,
as lie have after every war in the past, any enemy with atomic
weapons could destroy us before we woke up. Such national
defense .is we may have ill future must be instantly on tap.
ONE SIDED PFtOP Marquis Childs
Secretary of State Byrnes has said publicly that our troops
will stav in China only so long as they are heeded to disarm
the .Iais and will help in restoring order in the wake of the
.lap occupation. That was agreed to at th"e Moscow Conference.
Rut the tendency of the Nationalists will be to cling to
Ibis prop to count on American forces staying on to guard
railways and other vital services. This in turn may delay the
operation of the tmce and make it more difficult to carry out
the terms.
SOVIET AIMS Walter Lippman
The Soviet Union is asking to be made the trustee of
Tripolit.inia, ilic Italian colony on the African shore of the
narrow waters of the Central Mediterranean. This goes far
beyond the old claim to the Dardanelles.
If Russia were established in Tripolitania, which is south
of Sicily, it should be able to cut the Mediterrnaean in half.
Not only the Balkans, the Dardanelles and Turkey, but also
Kgypt. the Suez Canal, and the whole Middle East would be
severed strategically from the Western powers from Britain,
France and the United States.
GRAND MUFTI Edgar Ansel Mowrer
It is obviously time the full career of Haj Amin el IIus
seini. former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, should be brought
into the li'lht of day. This fanatical Jew-hater is believed to
be responsible for instigating Arab riots in Palestine and for
the murder of Palestine Jews. He bears the entire responsi
bility for the Iraqui revolt of 1941 against the United Nations.
He is known as the author of a letter to his "Fuehrer"
Adolf Hitler, in 1942, promising the Nazis the support of the
"Arab peoples" yet, the Arab gentleman, when last heard
of. had not even been invited to take his place among the
Nazi prisoners at Nuernberg. He is supposed to be living some
uhcre in France in full liberty.
CIO LEADERSHIP Frank R. Kent
True, the CIO has great publicity advantages over the
other side, but the stuff it has-been putting out recently is so
largely phony and unfounded that, however, palatable it may
be. to the gullible masses, it is difficult to understand how it
ran fail to revolt any fairly informed person. The truth is that
in ils controversy with the General Motors and the United
States S eel. the CIO has utilized its super propaganda position
to consistently distort the facts and misrepresent its opponents.
DISUNITY Barnet Nover
The fact remains that unless and until Russia and Great
Britain do succeed in adjusting their relations to the United
Nations will operate under a severe handicap. For while the
United Nations is constitutionally incapable of directly solving
disputes between great powers even its capacity to take up
lesser matters will be handicapped by the perpetuation of bad
relations between two of the five permanent members of the
Council.
Don't make the mistake of "wait-;
