Paperhanging.

@, I am going to wallpaper my
room and would like to know how to
go about it SO I can get the paper
on straight. They say If the first
paper is not straight the whole wall
will be out of line.
A. To simplify the work, do not
select a paper with vertical lines
or an up-and-down pattern. Cor
ners Of a room are likely to be out
of square, and patterns that are
indefinite or spotty can be much
more easily fitted. You will also
find that p-joints will be easier
to manage than butt-joints If
possible, try to get one of the new
type papers with an adhesive coat
ing on the back. This will eliminate
mixing and applying paste. But
you will need glue size, of course.
A plumb line suspended from the
picture moulding or ceiling to the
Dashboard will help you find a
straight line. While this is sus-
pended, mark the wall at intervals
with a pencil, then place the first
sheet in line with these marks.

Appropriation Needed
To Get Action on SIum
Clearance Program

DlStTlCC SUM clearance, as pro-
vided for in the $20,000,000 program
passed this week by Congress and
now awaiting the Presidents sigma
ture, will need an appropriation of
funds before the program can 60
ahead, it was pointed out today.
The legislation provides for ap-
pointment of a five-man District
Redevelopment Land Agency to pur-
chase blighted city land. group it
and offer it for sale as sites of pri-
vate or public housing. 1t also sets
forth the procedure for replanning
and rebuilding slum areas.
But the legislation only authorizes
an appropriation of funds. 1t does
not appropriate the cash.
There was question, today,
whether the flve-man agency, two
members OF which were to be ap-
pointed by the President and three
by the District Commissioners, could
meet before funds are appropriated.
Holds OFF Staff.
Those interested in the legislation
were agreed that whether or not
the members meet, they could not
organize a staff or go ahead with
their work until funds are avail
able.
Both Ernest F. Henry, executive
director of the Home Builders As
sociation of Metropolitan Washing
ton, representing private builders,
and John 1hlder, executive officer of
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority, speaking for the Districts
public housing agency, foresaw a
considerable period of delay before
the effects of the legislation will
begin to materialize.

soon he thought the agency's ma
chinery could begin to operate, re-
piled that there were so many
factors involved that 1t would be
hard to prophesy."

be done before title is taken to any

A lot of groundwork will have to

this would be no great disadvantage
in view of the present housing and

that present conditions do not

tional custom of paying wages on

Mr.. Henry's comment on the
"strait-jacket method" was ref
erence to a controversy home build
ers have been having with the Wage
! Adjustment Board over rates of
pay.
Home builders contend traditional
classifications of workers and rates
of pay in this area have been vio-
lated in a Wage Adjustment Board

Cortrieht AssoiIs
Housing Lobby;
Hearings Resumed
By Robert J. Lewis

A first-class fight was developing
in the last days of the present ses-
sion OF Congress as supporters and
opponents of the Wagner -Ellender-
Taft general housing bill traded
blows over the measure amid a series
of developments which included a
call on House leaders by President
Truman to speed consideration of
the legislation.
In letters to Speaker Rayburn,
Majority Leader Mccormack and
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking and Currency Committee,
the President on Thursday requested
that they use their best efforts" for
earliest practicable consideration
of the bipartisan housing measure !"
Earlier Housing Administrator
Wilson w. Wyatt blamed a real
estate lobby and "un-American par
liamentary f1libustering tricks" for
delaying House hearings on the
measure, and Representative Out
land, Democrat of California, pro-
tested against what he termed a
"hlibuster" against the bill in the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee.
Green Sounds Warning.
Yesterday William Green, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor president,
warned that failure of the House
to act on the bill would bring bit
ter disappointment to millions of
families of veterans and Others"
Countering these statements.
Frank w. Cortright, executive vice.
president OF the National Associa-
ton Of Home Builders, charged that
"one OF the largest lobbies ever to
operate in Washington is attempting
to force Congress" to pass the mea-
sure.
IF anybody opposes this super
lobby, it screams that opposition Is
based on selfish interest" Mr.. Cort-
right said. The fact is that the
selfish interest is on the housing
lobby's side-its members don't
want to be separated from easy jobs
on the public payroll"
Chief Development of Week.
Main development of the week was
the centering of attention on the
course of the legislation in the House
committee. Committee members op-
posing the bill succeeded in delaying
the hearings through raising points
OF order that there was no quorum
present and that the committee
could not hold hearings while the
House was in session, the bills sup
porters charged.
Chairman Spence said he was
anxious to proceed with hearings,
but the one held yesterday was the
first the committee had succeeded
in having since July S. Failure to
hear testimony in the intervening
period was blamed on the difficulty
in obtaining a quorum owing to the
fact that seven ranking committee
members were tied up in conference
on the OPA bill.
Committee members said the Gus
tom was to hold hearings without a
quorum, but that objections on the
part of other members had made

Godgets
Ultraviolet Ruys
Used to Purify Air
Through Simple eGodget
By HiIson Munsey

One of the principal difficulties in
the home is to get rid OF stale air
and replace it with fresh. 1t is not
always convenient or practical to
open the windows and in any case,
particularly in the city, the air that
comes through an open window is
not always too fresh. Now there
are a number of appliances and
chemicals on the market which un-
dertake to keep the air in the house
pure. One of these appliances utilizes
ultraviolet rays to do the purifying.
This increases the content of the
oxygen molecules by one-third, with
the result that the impurities in the
air are rapidly oxidized and de-
Stroyed.
The apparatus is very simple. 1t
is made of II elements or sheets in
series of threes. No tubes are used
and the rays are produced in the
open without arcing or sparkling.
There is no production of heat dur
ing the process and the rays are
distributed through the room. The
units can be connected to the house
circuit by simply plugging into an
ordinary electric outlet.
The purifier is not intended to re-
place existing ventilating systems,
but is used as supplementary
means of keeping the air in the
room fresh. The units need little at
tention and the upkeep is very small
If there is a ventilating system al
ready installed, they can be used
either directly in the room or placed
in the ventilator ducts. There are
several ways of doing this. One is
to place the unit on top of the
duct with the generating elements
inside, or if the duct is in such a
position that this cannot be done,
the unit can be placed below the
duct with a connection on top of
the unit, to allow the purifying air
to pass into the duct.

The unit is made in two types:
One to take care of individual
rooms which would probably be most
