Advertising Group Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 25.-Men and
women are turning to newspaper
editorial pages in surprisingly large
numbers" James r. McLauchlen Of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association said here yesterday, add
ing that "the war has sharpened
the readers appetite for all news"
Mr.. McLauchlen, of the Bureau
Of Advertising of the ANPA, told the
advertising group of the Special Lii
braries Associations convention
that newspaper readers now pay less
attention to frivolous and unimpor-
tant news and more to international
and national affairs.
Reading Of editorials has been
stepped up more than rs per cent
among men, and more than so per
cent among women, he said.
"The most striking evidence Of
the new interest" Is in the adver-
tising columns, Mr.. McLauchlen de-
clared He said the new type of
institutional and inspirational ad-
vertising relating to the war effort
was more widely read than the best
product-selling advertising.

Court Ruling Awaited
On zoning Status Of
Operative Clubs
Consumers Purchasing
Group Defended as
Nom Commercial

District officials today are await
ing a Municipal Court ruling which
viii decide whether consumer CO.
operative clubs are to be classified
as commercial ventures under Dis
trict coming regulations.
The issue involves the Frederick
Douglass Buying Club, 1943 Alabama
avenue Sc, managed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry L. Terry, colored. The
corporation counsel's Office has
charged the Terrys with operating
the club in residential zone and
operating a grocery without Ii
cense.
In operation since March Is, 1910,
the club has membership of 500
persons. Mrs. Terry has testified
that the club sells only to members
and is a non-profit organization
She described the clubs purpose as
educating the members to get the
most value out of their food pur-
chases.
Community Is New.
The community which the club
serves is a comparatively new one,
developed in 1899.
1t is claimed by the defendants
that although the residents were
promised that shopping district
would be erected, nothing has been
done to accomplish this. The near
est shopping center Is said to be
located more than a mile away.
Attorney Charles Houston. repre-
senting MIR. and Mrs. Terry, stressed
the difference between a co-opera-
tive club and cooperative store.
He said that the former sold only to
members. while the cooperative
store sold to any one.
Decision Due Soon.
Representing the District, Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Milton
Norman contended that any store,
club or organization engaged in buy
ing should be classified as a COM
mercial establishment.
MIR. Norman expressed the belief
that the value of residential prop
erty in various sections of the city
would depreciate if cooperative
ventures are permitted to operate
in exclusive residential zones.
Judge Walter j. Casey indicated
he would announce his decision soon.

There is no more thorny issue today

we'll recognize that the issue exists, and
that it is pregnant with possibilities for
infinite future trouble.
Until Soviet Ambassador Constantine

the territory she occupied in 1889
What can we or the British do about
it? That is the puzzler. We can, of
course, make strong representations to
Moscow, pointing out that such seizure
of territory of brave people, who lost
all but honor by resisting Hitler can not
possibly be accepted by decent people.
Unfortunately Moscow does not have
to accept those strong representations
They could be implemented only by arm

If we let the Polish question remain
unsettled until the war ends, we shall
have no option but to accept Stalins de-

On the other hand, there are economic
pressures-mGtters of leaselend and
military assistance-which, if properly
handled now, might avert the more un-
thinkable future evils.

Whatever few precious beauty

few rules which Lucille Ball, star

in good order:
Put your implements away sep
arately in a special case or cotton
lined box. Don't thioW them into
a drawer or box with lot Of other
ODDS and ends, which MAJ bend or
dull them.
When your scissors or nippors
need sharpening, give them to an
expert grinder.
Put a drop. of oil on scissors and
rippers at the friction point after
every few times you use them, and
clean them regularly with an oily
cloth to keep them dust and rust
free.
Above all. remember that delicate
cuticle scissors are designed for
