UNION OFFERS TO DISCHARGE pERI5HABLE5
Unloading of North Sea Green Sfuffs Awaits
 Reply from Seattle

Greens-hungry Juneau was to- day waiting on word from Seattle that might break the deadlock which has kept the steamer North Sea moored at the City Dock here, her hold jammed with undischarged tons of perishable and other food stuffs for this City.
 Fresh hope that at least the per- ishable cargo of the North Sea might be unloaded here very soon rose with the following statement from Juneau Local Is, whose strike has tied up Alaska's water-borne commerce.
 Unload Perishables
 This announcement was made by the local union to tho Empire to- day:

 AOatts Seattle Reply
 Henry Green. Northland Trans portation Co. agent in Juneau, stat cd this afternoon that he is still awaiting reply from the Seattle headquarters of his company.
 The offer made by the union group here is in line with reported action of other ILWU locals at Ketchikan and 5itka where, usually reliable advices declare, the steam CTS Taku and North Sea were dis charged of perishables for thosc ports without payment of the $i.32 scale.
 At the same time possibility of break in the situation here became known, dispatches from Ketchikan indicated that solution for the whole strike situation is being ap- preached there.
 Ketchik0n Proposal
 An Associated Press report de- clares. The Ketchikan Waterfront Employers Association was awaiting today acceptance or rejection by local longshorcmen of the latest proposal to end the current dock dispute.

Winston Churchill Warned FOR 10 Put Japan on
 Anxious Seat

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Win- ston Churchill pressed the late President Roosevelt as early as February, l94l, to "instill in Japan anxiety that a move toward Sing apore would mean war with the United States.
 This was disclosed today as the Senate House committee investigat- ing Japan's attack on Pearl Har- bor was given new documents gath cred from State Department and White House files.
 Seth Richardson, comm itte e counsel, put them into the record when the committee reopened it's hearings.
 Concern Expressed
 One document was a message from the then British Prime Min ister to MT. Roosevelt dated Feb. IS, 194l, expressing concern that the Japanese mean to make war on us, or to do something which would compel us to make war on them. during the next few weeks or months"
 There are some,' Churchill ad- ded, who consider that in Japan's present mood she would have no hesitation to entertain an attempt to make war against both your country and mine Although it is my personal belief that the odds

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-There was more plain talking than was generally reported last week when half a hundred House Democrats met be- hind closed doors to discuss an ar ticle in the Democratic Digest at tacking Democrats who voted for the Anti-Labor Case Bill. If any Republican had been allowed sto be present, he would have figured the 1948 election was already in the bag.
 Die-hard Representative Roger c. Slaughter of Missouri, who re- presents President Truman's home district, summed up the general sentiment when he shouted: I'm damned if I'll ever clear my Demo- cratic position with Henry Wallace, the Pacific Northwest or the New York East Side"
 What Slaughter was raving about was an article written by Mrs. Jane Heldt in the Democratic Digest. She was later dismissed, but despite that, Slaughter made it clear he considered his fellow Mis- sourian, Bob Hannegan. responsible.
 The offending sentence which started so much tooth-gnashing among Dixie Democrats read: Let your representative know that the passage of the restrictive Case Bill was a vote against the American people"
 The meeting was called by Slaughter and seven other reac- tionaries, including Howard w. Smith If Virginia, Thomas G.. Abernethy of Mississippi, Graham A. Barden of North Carolina, Lyle A. Boren of Oklahoma, Harold H. Earthman of Tennessee, Ed Gros- sett of Texas and Charles E. Mc- Kenzie of Louisiana, Even before

Storm Windows Save on Fuel

/ There are many necessary reasons flo. planning to include storm win dows in your home.
 They reduce the amount of cold air which leaks into the house, as well as the amount of Soot and dirt coming in. They increase the tenn perature of glass about g degrees. Ordinary single windows are about 18 degrees F. in zero weather, while the same with storm windows are about Al degrees F. at zero, which reduces considerably the heat loss from the body to the glass. Con- dtnsation of moistures and forma- ton of frost on glass surfaces are reduced by storm windows. The temperature of cool air moving down the window surface to the floor is increased several degrees, resulting in warmer floors. According to tests, the load on heating equipment is reduced 201c when all windows are equipped with tight storm windows, which prolongs the life of the heat in unit. Tests also show a 2096 saving in fuel when storm windows are used throughout the house.
 Now available are combination screen and storm sash in wood or aluminium. The frame remains sta- tionary, while the screens and sash are interchangeable. Each part can be easily transferred from the inside of the house.
 Tn the colder northern climates storm windows should be installed in all windows if at all feasible, but are especially important in rooms hard to heat, rooms with north and west exposures, and rooms used most frequently.

Build Chest .WelIUnder Window

One of the charms of old houses is the bay windows found in them and the window seats that provide a view of the outdoors in sunny or rainy weather and a place to sit alone with ones thoughts.
 The small size of the average modern house or apartment makes bay window impossible but the space below window may be used advantageously to capture some of the charm of the houses of the last century. A cedar hope chest ve- neered in woods to harmonize with the other furnishings of your room, may be banked with pillows or topped with a colorful cushion to become window seat. Thus, you will make use of space that would otherwise be wasted. And, in addi- ton to the beauty and extra seating space given your living room. you will have increased storage space of the best possible kind for your woolens and furs.
 The rich fragrance of red cedar wood is the best of all weapons against the menace of moth dam age. The aroma, so pleasant to human beings, paralyzes moth lar vac so that they are unable to eat. Consequently they starve to death living fine fabrics and furs un- touched. The alright construction of the modern cedar hope chest is a guarantee against damage from dust as we'll

ern furniture and Oriental rugs. The free moving patterns go well with modern furniture, which has lost much of the formality of some per- ioC styles. This ease in design, car ried out in colors whose source of inspiration might easily have been the soft, warm colors discovered long ago by the rug weavers in the east, make the current wall papers es- pecially suitable for use with the hand-woven Orental rugs now so ponular in fine homes.
 Tn the pre-war era some wall pa pers because of monotonous design and formality of color, were difficult to use effectively with the hand woven aristocrats of floor coverings. But with a higher level of artistry suitable patterned wall papers now ca: be selected easily which, like the setting of a jewel, bring out the color, romance, and beauty of Ori- e:ltal rugs for gracious living in a modern world.

New Wallpaper Trends Make Home Cheerful
FLOWers, Vines, Trees, EnLiUen Home Paper

Have you seen the new wall spa- pers which are now becoming avail able in increasing variety of pat terms?
 Outstanding trend in wall papers is emphasis of natural forms-how- CTS, vines, trees and other forms found outdoors. Patterns, while more or less conventionalized, are frec moving, avoiding the stiffness and formality that characterized some wall papers of the prewar era. Colors are used freely, yet wisely, so that rooms will be bright and cheerful. This liberal use of natural forms, plus greater variety and strength of colors, tends to bring an outdoors" note to current home decoration.
 In the swing against monotones, repetition on walls of stereotyped patterns, a wide selection of scenic wall papers is being offered. These depict urban as well as pastoral phases of outdoor life and afford many possibilities to the home maker for interesting decorative ef- fects. The homemaker also will find special papers for the game room, the nursery, the powder room or the foyer. Some store decorative con- sultants are pushing the idea of us- ing two kinds of wall paper in liv- ing roems-for example, pane- rarnic paper on one side of the room, with conventional patterned paper on the other three walls. Some very unusual effects may be obtained in rooms which are suitable for such treatment.
 While the homemaker will find a good selection of wall papers to meet virtually every decorative mood, the new patterns seem espe- cially designed to blend with mod

Veterans may be living in tempo rarily cramped quarters, but their wives are contriving to surround them with some of the good things in life, says Practical Builder, Chi cago, commenting on the way these gals are picking up decorative pot tery to add charm to their homes.

tional quarters. In many cases they are separated by double and triple wall thicknesses, since closets are planned to serve as additional par titions
 Numerous roomy closets are in convenient practical locations to bedrooms, baths, and entranceway. Although the house is shown with two bathrooms, the bath of the ter4 could easily be eliminated to lower costs.
 Multi-purpose room can be used as a children's playroom with easy supervision from the kitchen. With the door closed, room can become guest room, den or maids room.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-22

Great fexibility by means of sev- eral devices in planning is the key note to this modern home presented by Practical Builder, Chicago.
 The movable closets in the front bedrooms can be arranged so that the two bedrooms can be used as one large room. The multi-use room can be used for several purposes as well. The folding door allows for opening the entire wall of the room so that 1t can be used as a dining room with easy access to the kitch- en. In this case the dining area becomes part of the living room.
 Bedrooms are well away from noises of the kitchen and recrea-

pers will be revised slightly because
of a broken thumb that keeps
Playing Coach Jack Riley side
lined. Joe Catlin likely will take his
place at wing In the forward COM
bination that otherwise includes
Center Kenny PARTS and Winger
John Carr-HarriS.
/, The other revised combinations
will have Jimmy Wilson centered
between Chirp Brenchley and Joe
Ciuman, and Walter Bailey at pivot
between Jimmy Casburn and Bert
Lilley.
The Clippers are in second place
In the Eastern League, having won
n OF 10 starts. Washington beat
Baltimore, 30, the first time out
but dropped a 7-6 decision in a re-
turn. The record should make the
Clippers favorites as they also have
three decisions over otherwise I'M
beaten New York Rovers, who twice
have spilled the Lions.
Catlin comes to Washington from
Kingston, Ontario. and last season
skated with PARTS and Carr-Harris
on the LocoeS there.

Thompson's 10 competitions in "a

Thompson's passing isn't the only
item on the Redskin mentors worry

between the teams. but he will have

Edwards has wreStled with the

were laws permitting hunting in the
District of Columbia and any ducks
to hunt here. However, gunners in
the Eastern Shore area can deduct
four minutes from the above times
and be safe. Up the Potomac, the
time interval is SO negligible, we'd

make sure. Have you bought your

A further check of possibilities
for success in your hunt doesn't

areas. Beginning up-river, there

will be at least one hunter for every
duck. Very few ducks have showed

Geese are plentiful. Eastern Shore
gunners should have the best of the
sport on opening day. How the sea-
son will develop later, no one knows.
Unquestionably the wild water
fowl flight is short this fall. While
this may not mean there will not
be some bright days for a few Of us,
the general situation, judging from
the Fish and Wildlife Services field
reports from the Northern and Cen
trail Zones, does not look too prom
Using for the duck hunters. In New
England for instance, the flight was
reported about 80 per cent less than
last year. In New Jersey on OPEN
ing day, October 26, out of IS hunt
ers only 2 had their limit, although
lots of black ducks, pintails and
rudy ducks were observed. In Della
ware that same day, bluebird wealth
er conditions prevailed, but a check
of 81 hunters revealed only eight
ducks all told in their gamebags.
Reports from the central flyway are
just about as discouraging, but
plenty of ducks seem to be using the
Pacific f1yway. And yet we get in
dependent reports from experienced
observers at variance with the fore
going, although many such reports
confirm predictions of the Federal
men. 1t is confused sort of stu
