Indicted Dies Witnesses
Claim Committee ILLEGAL

The attorney for three former
witnesses before the Dies Committee
Investigating Un-American Ac-
tivities filed proceedings at District
Court yesterday attacking the legal
ity OF the committee itself. and the
right Of its former general counsel
and its research director to question
witnesses.
DR.. Albert Blumberg of Baltimore
Thomas F.. P. ODea. president of
the Young Communists League of
Massachusetts,, and Philip Frankfeld
executive secretary of the Com
munist party in New England. ac-
cording to the Government, have
been indicted on charges of declining
to answer questions before the Dies
committee.
Charles E. Ford, attorney for the
defendants, filed papers in the clerk S
office of District Court attack
ing the validity Of the indict-
ment and the legality of the Dies
committee and its methods.
Mr.. Ford contends the committee
has no legal right to function, be-
cause the House of Representatives,
which set up the committee, failed
to pass another resolution continuing
its life within the prescribed time,
and, therefore, it legally passed out
OF existence.

Chinook Winds

The chinook is wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as a
dry wind, warm in winter and cool
in summer. It is due to a cyclone
passing northward and continues for
a few hours to several days. In
Oregon and Washington the term is
sometimes applied to warm, moist
southwest wind The wind was so
called by the white settlers of As
toria because it came from the di-
rection of the Chinook camp.

EASIEST time TO CURE DRAFTS
IS when YOU BUILD!
WATCH THESE Three PLACES IF
YOU WOULD STOP Them

There is just no excuse for drafts in
your new home, because drafts are
definitely durable if you will watch just
three places-and all three places are
around your windows.
First and foremost offender in the
making of drafts in your new home is
the window frame Now you've never
bought window frames so you don't know
son why so many home builders have
drafty windows, because they were care
less about the window frame that went
into their homes. Now, we aren't going
to go into detail about window frames.
We Just want you to remember that the
most important thing about window
frame is how it joins the wall. If it
makes permanent leakproof weather
tight Joint with the wall-fne and dandy.
If it doesn't, you'll have drafts, no end
of drafts. How can you make sure about
a weathertight joint? Just specify that
the window frames used in your new
home have wide blind stop construction.
This special construction should be ia
miliar to your contractor.
Proper Fitting Necessary
Next in Importance to window frame
is the window sash (the part of the WIN
dow that moves within the frame). Many
home builders buy window frames in one
place and sash in another with the result
that the sash and frame never fit proper
ly in spite of trimming and cutting on
the Job. And sash that don't fit properly
cause drafts, and more drafts. The mod
ern trend is towards what is known as
complete window units that are delivered
with frame and sash precision fitted to
each other at the factory. Many of these
window units are even complete with
the window sash are fitted properly to
the window frame and you'll eliminate
another big source of drafts.
Glass Cools Air
Now here is the third cause of drafts
It's warm air being quickly cooled
against single pane of glass. The cold
air then drops to the floor. This flow
of air causes drafts. What's the cure?
A double pane of glass. Some windows
are made so that this double pane of
glass fits on the inside of the window,
while the most common is the ordinary
storm windows which are hung on the
outside. Whether your double glass is
inside or outside, the result is the same.
The glass that is within the heated room
is kept warmer by the dead air space
between the double panes. Result: Warm
air is not cooled so fast: no cool air-no
drafts.

Origin of Pehingese

The origin of the Pekingese dog
is lost in antiquity, but it is known
that these dogs were regarded as
sacred and kept closely guarded in
the palaces of Chinese rulers for
many centuries In 1860, at the time
of the looting of the summer palace
in Picking, five of the dogs were
seized and carried to England,
where they became the progenitors
of the Pekingese of today.

Engineers Seek Ways to
Build Solid Foundations

Tests with the object of construct
ing buildings that will not settle are
being conducted under the auspices
of the Engineering foundation.
Prof. Gregory P. Tschebotareff of
Princeton university, who is head
ing part of the studies, said build
ings constructed on rock-such as
in New York-do not present prob
lem to engineers.
"But not to all Cities" he said
"are equally fortunate to have in
many places rock within easy reach
from the ground surface"
He cited Shanghai, New Orleans
and Mexico City as examples where
soft soil deposits handicap the en-
ginear.
Rock lies at such Depths" he
said, that it cannot be reached by
any known foundation method. In
such cases, considerable settle
ments become unavoidable. In
j Shanghai, one-foot settlement is con-
sidered quite normal for buildings
! founded on piles driven into the riv
er mud.
''In Mexico City, which holds the
world championship for the most
difficult foundation and soil condi-
tions-soft mud 900 feet deep
! heavy buildings resting on concrete
/ RATS floating on the surface of that
mud have been known to sink about
nine feet into the ground"
Tschebotareff said there were i'm
Vulnerable soils" which would settle
under pressure and said the ''extent
and manner" of yielding varied
greatly.
For instance, when a sand layer
supports a load and when no
trenches have been dug nearby
which would permit its lateral yield
ing" he said, "the sand would only
be slightly compressed in itself
This compression would occur in the
early stage of construction.
"A clay layer saturated with wa
ter would behave quite differently
under similar conditions. The wa
ter filing the voids of the clay would
be expelled from them only grad
ually due to the fine-grained and
therefore impermeable nature Of
: the type of soil.
LAS result the often consider
able compression of such a clay
layer would proceed very slowly.
Structures erected on thick clay de-
posts have been known to settle FOR
many years, the rate of subsistence
slowing down little by ittle.''
