ucational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization seeks to turn man.
kinds warlike capacity toward "un-
dertakings which shall destroy
whatever Is a menace" for civiliza-
ton.
Mr.. Aleman-in an address pre-
pared for delivery to the inaugural
session of UNESCO's second general
conference-told about 800 delegates
from "a nations that the organiza-
ton has been assigned that spe-
citic task which, in the long run,
may prove to be the most important
task of the international rally. the
creation Of mind for peace hat
shall be like a second nature in
man."
Urges Vigorous moral Spirit"
II take it, therefore" Mr.. Ale
man said, that UNESCO does
not seek to abolish or even condemn
that capacity of the human species
for struggle, but instead means to
set that capacity Alright, perfecting
it toward undertakings which, in
stead OF destroying mankind, shall
destroy whatever Is a menace for
it, whatever imperils the civiliza-
ton 1t has reached"
Mr.. Aleman asserted that the
moral spirit" Of man must be made
more and more vigorous in
order that our present culture may
not die"
Under such conditions, he said,
science will then be able to keep
on developing along its own way
without becoming q menace, a dan
ger, fear
1--WE are at q crucial moment for
humanity" the Mexican President
said, when it is forced on us to
consider the danger science has
brought us to-Cthat) Of becoming
extinct.
Culture Must Lead Science"
"One might think that man has
evolved in science as other species
have evolved in size, and that SCI
ence, because Of its uncommon de-
velopment, will extinguish mankind.
I'm order to unseat our fear OF
the destructive power of science
culture, as we have defined 1t, must
take science by the hand and lead 1t.
The task before UNESCO," Mr.
Aleman declared, "is to promote
science and find the ways and means
whereby all nations shall share its
benefits and collaborate in its de-
velopment under conditions that
culture shall preside over those ben
efits and collaboration"

Little Assembly
Plan Approaching
Vote in Assembly
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. g.
Russia apparently was COM
mitted today to policy of not
cooperating with major Amer
ican proposals she has failed to
block by votes in the United
Nations Assembly.
The Soviet bloc already has in
voked these tactics on two Of Sec
retary Of State Marshall's key pro-
posals and has indicated the same
course will be followed on a third
American move for creation Of a
year-around Little Assembly" Of
the 81 member nations.
After the Assembly voted to estab-
lish a U. N. watch in the Balkans.
Russia and Poland announced they
would not serve on the investigat-
ing group. A similar attitude was
taken yesterday when the Soviet
Ukraine refused to participate in
n U. N. commission for Korea.
Now, with the Little Assembly"
plan approaching vote in the 81
nation Political Committee, Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky again has argued that the plan
Is illegal and thus Russia can
have no part Of it.
The Russian maneuvers have posed
the question of what effect the boy
colt policy will have on the future of
the q. N.
Most serious consideration is given
to the effect of Soviet boycott of
the 57-nation interim Assembly.
Russian non cooperation would
amount to a new version of the veto,
which applies now only in the IL
nation Security Council. There the
United States, Russia, France, China
and Britain are empowered under
the charter to kill decision of a
seven nation affirmative majority
merely by voting against it. Russia
has vetoed "a times and France twice.
In the Assembly the only way to re-
iect a decision is to utilize the boy
colt and refuse to participate.
With the conclusion of debate on
the Little Assembly" the Political
Committee will have exhausted the
biggest items on its agenda and in
creased hopes of Assembly adjourn
ment by Thanksgiving. Issues re-
manning include the veto, Franco
Spain, the proposed Italian peace
treaty revisions and reconsideration
of membership applications from
such countries as Italy. Some Of
these items may be passed over to
the interim Assembly or put off.
DIR. Jose Arce of Argentina told
the Political Committee last night in
the debate on the interim Assembly
that the Security Council was about
to Paralyze the u. N. and that 1t
was up to the Assembly to act.
Kirk ON Balkan Commission.
Other U. N. developments:
|. President Truman named Alan
Goodrich Kirk, Ambassador to Bel
gium, as American representative on
the Balkan Commission. None Of
the other delegates has been named.
Headquarters will be in Salonika,
Greece, with the commission sched-
uled to begin functioning Noyem-
Der 2l.
2. A four-dation group set another
meeting for late today in efforts to
iron out differences between the
United States and Russia over the
implementation of the proposed par
tition of Palestine into Jewish and
Arab nations.

Value Of Low Cost
Home Is Increased by
Addition Of Mo|dinq
By w. Wodsworth Wood

Decorative wood strips, known as
molding, are in great evidence in
high-class, expensive houses; and
almost completely missing in low
cost homes. The reason is that the
mitering and cutting of the strip
calls for many hours of work by
skilled carpenters or fnishers.
1t is a fact that any home
owner can finish off the woodwork in
his low-cost house himself, by ap-
plying molding where it belongs,
and, incidentally, can add greatly
to the value and effect of the house
interior.
The tools required are a cross
cut saw and a inter box. An eff
cient inter box, which will enable
any one to cut miters and angles,
may be bought in any hardware
store.
A few weeks ago. we saw a dining
room in a low-cost house which was
papered in an attractive pattern
and had a plain white ceiling. The
room was bright and looking,
but totally lacked character. Two
weeks later, we saw the same room
with chair rail and ceiling mold
ings installed by the owner at a cost
of less than SO, and the room had
character, and finish to boot.
The owner had run a nice, 2-inch.
standard picture molding around
the walls, a half inch below the
ceiling line; and a 3-inch finish
ing strip around the walls, feet
above the floor line.
The net result was to lift the room

First Aid to AiIinq Houses

We wonder if you have leaf1et on
heaters of this type, or If you know
where we might be able to get fur
ther information.
ANSWER-For the names and
addresses of the makers of house
heating furnaces small enough to
fit into closet, write to the Ar
chitects Samples Exhibit, 101 Park
avenue, New York 18, N. Y. Such
furnaces, of course, are limited in
heating capacity and only are suit
able for small homes and cottages.
When writing to the above organi-
zation, specify the type of fuel you
intend using.
'Mouse-Proof" House.
QUESTION:: In building a new
house what is the best method of
making 1t mouse proof"
ANSWER-Your architect could
see that the foundations are solidly
built with absolutely no holes,
cracks or crevices anywhere through
which mice could enter. Mice are
apt to get in at ground level, and all
chinks should be filled. Wood walls
should be at least 18 inches above
the ground.
Heating Control.
Question: I have hot-water
heating system in my house equip
ped with a day and night thermo-
stat, but this does not prevent the
house from becoming overheated,
What limit control switch can I use
to prevent this?
Answer: Dealers In heating equip
ment can install water tempera-
ture control unit which will prevent
overheating. Much more uniform
temperatures in the rooms can be
obtained by the installation Of
water temperature control unit and
a circulator pump. The latter be-
ing connected to the thermostat
would circulate the hot water
through the radiators when heat is
called for, and the control unit
would maintain constant tenn
perature of the water In the boiler.

New Hinge
Closes Doors
Automatically
By HiIson Munsey

A manufacturer has developed a
new look" in door control which
eliminates all visible mechanism
without the need for hiding it In the
door, the floor or frame.
It consists Of one hydraulic con-
troll hinge and one or more spring
hinges, depending on size Of the
door. No arms or brackets detract
from the flow of streamlined design.
No housing is required in an over
head frame or the floor to add to
planning, construction or alteration
costs.
The spring hinge carriage used is
a powerful spring of special formula
steel developed during World War
II, and provides so per cent reserve
power for most doors operating
under normal conditions.
Ball bearings are used for easy,
noiseless action and since it is also
completely sealed against dirt and
the elements, the spring shaft bear
ing of lubricant-impregnated ma
terial never requires oiling.
The installation time for this
hydraulic-type hinge, which replaces
the conventional door closer. and
set of butt hinges is the same as
for ordinary door hinges.
The hinges are in two sizes-one
for residential doors and many
lighter, special-purpose doors, and
the other for heavy-traff1c interior
doors in commercial, industrial and
institutional buildings.

Repapering Problem.
QUESTION:: If should apply q

ANSWER-If the present wall
paper adheres firmly to the walls,
you probably will be safe In paint
ing over it. Before repapering. you
will need to glue-size the painted
surfaces. I do not guarantee the
success of all this work, as in some
cases too many coats of wallpaper
are not advisable, and there is the
possible chance that the use of sizing
and paste may loosen the old wall
paper paste.
