BERLIN, July 26.-Authorized
German sources today accused a
section of the press in unoccupied
France of calling for release of
German-held French soldiers so
France within a year or so could
take revenge on Germany.
The newspapers have been calling
on Germany to release the thou
sands of prisoners who fell into Nazi
hands with the military collapse of
France.
Germany, the Berlin informants
said, is determined not to comply,
although release of 250,O00 Polish
war prisoners is impending
To offset the French demands,
the German press for days has been
bringing eyewitness accounts OF
released German soldiers in an
effort to prove that the French were
inhuman in their treatment of Ger
man prisoners of war and interned
German civilians
The French-German armistice
provided for release of German pris-
oners in France but put off the
release of French prisoners in Ger
many.
The 2500O0 Polish prisoners are
to be released soon, adding further
to German efforts toward stabiliza-
ton of Europe. 1t became known
They will be made available for
work in Germany and the German
occupied portion of Poland.
Polish farm labor always has been
prominent factor in the economic
life Of Eastern Germany.
The released Polish prisoners, it
was said, must work but will be
free to choose where-whether in
Germany or Poland-and must not

To The Would-Be Painter

To The WOuld-Be FAINTER
4 For the homemaker seized with the
lurge to paint this spring, Ray w
ECarpenter, Specialist in Agricultural
sEngineering for the Extension Service,
Ihas several practical suggestions.
/ First prepare for the job. Get the
fright kind of paint for the work you
Iwish to do, and follow the manufac-
Iturer's directions as to stirring, thin
lining, undertaking, and so on. Wall
Ipaint will not do on a floor. Floor or
deck paint has a binder that stands
lup against wear from the feet. If any
of this paint is left over, mark it plain
Ily to show what it was used for.
! Anything to be painted needs some
preparation. New, implanted wood
requires very little beyond busting off.
j You can remove building residues like
mortar and plaster with scraper or
sandpaper. After putting on printing
coat, fill nail holes and loose joints
with putty.
A chalky painted surface can be
busted off to prepare it for painting.
But if the old paint has begun to scale
or peel, it will have to be scraped or
brushed with a wire brush. Then,
loose putty should be removed from
nail holes and joints and replaced by
fresh putty after the first coat has
dried. Rub vanished or enamelei
surfaces with fine sandpaper, curled
horsehair, or fine steel wool.
Be sure to buy good brushes of the
right size for the work you want to do.
A 81 OF 4 inch brush is generally
used for walls, ceilings, and other
large surfaces. A smaller flat brush,
2 to 212 inches, is needed for wood
trim, and special oval sash brush
for painting around window panes.
Oval brushes are better than flat ones
for any surfaces that are not fiat.
Keep one brush for varnish and never
dip it in paint.
Experienced painters never allow
paint to dry on a brush. And they
don't keep brushes in water. They
put them in linseed oil if work stops
for more than an hour, Brushes that
have been used in flat finish paints
may be kept in kerosene, if the kero-
sene is mostly removed before they are
used again. Varnish brushes are kept
in turpentine or in varnish during in
terruptions, but for storing over long
intervals they should be washed in
turpentine, dried, and wrapped in
paper. To store paint brushes, be-
tween painting jobs, hang them in raw
linseed oil so that the bristles do not
touch the bottom of the container.
Perhaps most important among all
preparations for painting, says Mr.
Carpenter, is to pick a bright, dry
clear day. Dampness in the air tends
to make the painting job turn out
poorly.
