Painted Interior of Homes Play Important Role
Color Relation to Light h Paints Adds Beauty

In planning your new home H' m remodeling the old one, the painted interior will play an important role In the finished product.
 There are two fundamentals gov erlling the proper selection of in- .erior wall color harmonies. One is color in relation to the source of light. For example, a room having north light should include yellow, gold, yellow-red or orange, cherry rose; in fact, all colors that have read as their basis. Rooms facing east should have colors that are more or less neutral such as light gray, ivory, cream, buff, putty and gray-tan. Since so much sun enters south rooms, cool colors such as green, light blue, silver, light orchid, olive, etc, should be considered. The west exposure of the home is gen. erally the warmest and can use col ors in the cool range, as long as the wall and ceiling colors are in soft tones so that the reflection will not be too startling.
 The other important principle in the selection of color is it's relation to the use of the room. The floor should at all times be darker than any other surface of the room. If 5here is a great deal of trim area in the room, such as cupboards in , the kitchen, the trim should be a color that does not predominate ever over the wall color
 Strong warm colors, as reds. vel low-reds, and golds, look smaller and cozier while small rooms look larger when finished in light anc weaker shades of blue or cold green
 Color can be used to hide archi- tectural defects. Radiators melt

This attractive small home, is a pleasing combination of the ranch type house and the house in con- temporary style. The exterior is modern with the simple lines and large window areas typical of new design. The low roof line and bed room wing give it the spread-out feeling of the ranch type house; yet 1t is perfectly suitable for city lot. The plant box on the extended wall ties the house and the grounds to- eether.
 The interior Is very well lighted, thus increasing the apparent size

into the background when painted the same color as the walls. Win dows, doors and holdings painted the same color as the walls increase the apparent size of the room.
 Discuss these problems with your builder and painter, suggests Prac- tical Builder, Chicago. They will be glad to give you their best profess sional advice.

Can plaster cracks be repaired satisfactorily? If so, how?

Can plaster cracks De repaired satisfactorily? If so, how?
 There are plaster crack filters which can be obtained from your paint or building material dealer, that are satisfactory for small re- pairs. Large areas of broken and cracked plaster should be removed and the area replastered. See your local builder for his advice Small cracks should be clipped out first so that you can remove all the loose plaster. The crack is then filled with the crack filler, which is mixed with water. After 1t has dried, it should be sand-papered to a smooth Snish.

Utility y#HoII

Make your entrance hall into a reg ular utility island, suggests Practical Builder, Chicago. Your hallway can probably provide ample space for a telephone unit. as well as book shelves and storage facilities.

There is broken pane of glass in our porch window Could I re- place this myself? How?
 The old glass and putty should be removed. To soften old putty so that 1t will come out easier, heat 1t slightly with an electric iron. After the sash rail is thoroughly cleaned spread a layer Of putty about 1s" thick all around the molding which holds the glass. The glass should be pressed firmly into the putty so that 1t has an even bed. Glazier points are used to hold the glass in place. and the outside is then puttied in tight. Mold the putty

Hore-Be|isha Urges
Common Citizenship
For Britain and j. ).

Leslie Hore- Belisha, former Brit
ish War Minister now in Washington
as a private citizen, said yesterday
the United States and Britain
should Immediately establish COM
mon citizenship as the first move
toward unifying the two nations.
His proposal admittedly went "far
beyond the fraternal association
urged by Winston Churchill" at
Fulton, Mo
There is nothing antagonistic In
the concept of Anglo-American
unity to the concept of the United
Nations, Mr.. Hore-Belisha asserted
But he referred to the United Ma
tions as simply a conference of
those states who care to attend" )"
and said it would not assure peace.
Mr.. Hore-Belisha contended that
the association he proposed would
not be directed against any third
power.
Il cannot conceive of any politi-
cal action that we and you coulc
take, separately or together, which
would be a challenge or an affron-
to Russia's legitimate aspirations,
he said.
He urged an immediate "soleml
declaration" by the British an:
United States Governments settin
forth the "imperishable solidarity
Of the two countries and announc
ing, as first expression of tha
solidarity, the establishment be-
tween the two of the same sort

Reece Hits Democrats
As Reactionary Party
In Retort 10 Truman
BY the Asseeioied Press

Politics got back to something
like normalcy today with the new
COP national chairman taking pot
shots at the administration while
Southern Democrats decided against
scalping their own party chief.
The Republican chairman, Rep
resentative B. Carroll Reece of Ten
nessee, labeled the Democrats 1.-The
party of reaction" and praised the
COP as the liberal party de-
termined that the people shall run
their Government"
Mr.. Reece spoke out last night
in radio interview, during which
he retorted to President Truman's
earlier news conference Endorsement
Of a published view that Reece's
selection was a solace to COP
"standpatters' and a rebuff to the
Wilkie- -StasSen elements in the
party.
Noting that this opinion was ex-
pressed in Baltimore Sun edi-
torial page article, Mr.. Reece added
that that paper. while normally
Democratic, felt impelled in the
interests of the Nation" to advo-
cate Mr.. Truman's defeat in 1914
On the Democratic side of the
fence, National Chairman Hanne-
gan appeared to have managed the
difficult job of soothing the out
ragged feelings of a group of Dixie
Democrats-and by telephone.
Southern House members had
been all worked up over a comment
appearing in a recent party publi-
cation which they interpreted as
casting critical reflection on their
support of the stringent Case anti
strike bill.
They held an indignation meeting
Tuesday and appointed a committee
to talk with Mr.. Hannegan by phone
at Phoenix, Ariz., where he is rest
ing. Later the legislators reported
they had satisfactory" converse
ton with him.
Representative Barden, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, chairman
OF the group, told newsmen Mr..
Hannegan wanted to meet with his
colleagues when he returns to
Washington. Mr.. Barden said he
was hopeful this conference would
wind up the row. Some others were
not that optimistic.
The Democratic National Com
mittee has disavowed the critical
comment, attributing it to a writer
no longer in the party's employ.

Cruiser Joins Missouri
. In Mid-Mediterranedn
ey the Associated Press

ABOARD THE U. S. S. MIS-
SOURI,, April Delayed After
passing through mine fields at
Bizerte and heading away from the
coast of Africa, the Big Mo-" carry
ing Admiral H. Kent Hewitt, made a
mid-Mediterranean rendezvous to-
day with the cruiser Providence,
carrying Rear Admiral Jules James,
commander of United States naval
forces in this zone.
The Missouri is now in formation
with the cruiser and the DESTROYER
Power. Headed for the Dardanelles
and an anchorage at Istanbul, the
formation will be met by three Turk
!sh deStroyers just before sundown
tomorrow between the islands of
Ahios and Psara. They will be the
irst American Warships to enter the
Dardanelles since 1880, when the
cruiser Chester Travelled the narrow
strait.
The Missouri is the largest ship
ever to try such a passage and al
though she has to make at least one
very sharp turn, Admiral Hewitt ex-
pressed confidence that she would
have no trouble.

Representative SABBATH, House
Dean, Observes 8Oth Birthday
Chicogoon Arrived
In U. S. 65 Years Aqo
From CzechosIovukiu
ky the tsxocioted Press


Representative SABBATH of Illinois
lit a big black cigar, puffed away
belligerently. and allowed that the
fact he has attained four-score
years doesn't mean a thing.
Today is the 80th birthday an
niversary of the dean of the House
and. despite his protestations to
the contrary, the Chicagoan was
as happy as a schoolboy about it.
Its just another day" he in
sisted to reporters. I'm not the
oldest member of the House. In
fact, I feel like the youngest"
In point of age Mr.. SABBATH is out
ranked by several members, but
none can equal his 40 consecutive
years of service.
How did I get to be 80? I just
lived that long" Mr.. SABBATH told
his questioners.
He hasn't any set formula for
longevity.
He eats what I want, when I
can get it." He smokes like a rail-
road locomotive, but only cigars and
a pipe. He abhors cigarettes. He
isn't averse to taking a. drink from
time to time, now that you can
get decent stuff"
His favorite is weird concoction
he calls the SABBATH combination. !"
Among other things it contains
brandy. wine, orange peels, bitters
and bit of cordial. His guests have
likened it, in its effects, to the
atomic bomb.
It's the best drink in the United
States" Mr.. SABBATH claims.
In his younger days Mr.. SABBATH
