have to resort to plain white shelv- ing paper, a few yards of ribbon, tinsel or colored twine can make the outside of your gifts as pretty as the inside.
 A candy peppermint stick, for example. tucked under the bow on a child's package dresses it up no end. So do little bells and Santa cut-outs attached to the ends of the ribbons. Plain white paper can be perked up with sprinkling ot gold, silver, green or red stars-you can make them yourself and paste ,em on. A sprig of holly or mistletoe tied into the parcels bow is Christ mas enough to satisfy the most sentimental.
 You don't have to tie all your gifts the same way, either. Try two horizontal ribbons instead of the conventional four-square arrange ment. Put bows on the side of the parcel instead of smack in the cen- ter. Run tinsel fastening around the narrow side of the box, ending up with large bow in one corner.
 Of course, you've given war bonds too-but even those sensible gifts should look pretty You can make an attractive folder of green mat paper, decorated with Christmas seals and tied with red ribbon. Or hang the bond on the Christmas tree. attached to a papeer bell.

Grease the hands with little margarine, then dip them from time to time in cold water. Shape these into balls of two sizes. Put together with toothpicks.

Go Drops
Request For
Delegate TO
Ito Farley

Washington, Apr. 8-In q
move to relieve President
Roosevelt of any possible extra
burdens created by ALL Stub
bornness, Go Pres. Murray
this week wrote FDR withdraw
ing the CIO request for a dele
gate at the April 20 conference
of the init. Labor Organization
in Philadelphia.
Murray had originally asked the
President TO get ALL leaders con-
sent to CLIO representative, which
was necessary since the govern
ment appoints all delegates TO lilo
meetings from the dominant"
organization in the country.
Pres. Roosevelts request, which
he passed on to the AFL, was
fatty turned down by them in order
to continue their monopoly on dele
gates to lilo meetings, though 1t
had been broken once before in q
meeting in Cuba.
81 am aware Of the tremendous
responsibility devolving upon you
as President and Commander-in-
Chief of our armed forces" Muir
ray wrote, "and under those cir
cunstances no citizen interested
in the welfare Of his country or
the successful prosecution of the
war should consciously do any
thing 10 create division or add TO
the confusion which already ex-
lists by thrusting upon you addi-
tional difficulties calculated to
create internal discomfort.
II am therefore taking the lib
erty to ask that our formal repre-
sensations made both to you and to
the Secretary of the Department
of Labor for representation at the
coming lilo convention be with
drawn without prejudice to our
justifiable claim for equal represen-
tation in the councils Of the lilo,
and with the understanding that
the delegates representing the
American Federation of Labor at
the lilo meeting will in no wise
speak for or represent the point of
view OF the Congress of Industrial
Organizations"
The AFL's refusal to conaidcr a
CLIO delegate to the lilo meeting is
in line with their equally stubborn
refusal to have anything to do with
the world labor conference in Lon
don June 5, to which they were in
vited along with CIO by Sir Walter
Citrine, head of the British Trades
Union Council
