Congressional House-Hunting
No Easy Job, Trade Unit Finds
By Robert J. Lewis
Real Estate Editor Of The Star.

The Washington Board OF
Trade is finding that even If you
are a newly-elected member OF
Congress it's no easy job to find
a house or apartment.
We've had excellent co-opera-
ton from Washington area real
estate dealers and property man
agement firms, but many OF them
tell us that conditions seem to
be tighter right now than for
the last couple of years." Col.
William H. Press, executive Sec
retary of the Board of Trade,
said today.
The Board of Trade about 10
days ago sent letters to the 134
newly y-elected members Of Con-
gress in which it offered to rem
der assistance to the members
elect in finding a home.
Many Accept Offer.
Already many new members
have either wired, telephoned.
written or dropped in personally
to the boards offices in The Star
Building to accept the offer. In
a humber of cases, suitable
apartments or houses have been
found. And, in one or two cases,
members-elect have already
bought homes as Washington
headquarters. - -.
But in spite of some successes,
the house-hunting problem Is a
difficult one, a board of trade
spokesman admitted, and many
members probably will have to
wait for several months after
their term of Office begins be-
fore obtaining suitable resi-
denceS.
One of the factors which makes
the problem tougher for a mem
Der of Congress is that generally
he prefers to have an apartment
or house within the District, and
preferably CLOSE in" to the
downtown area.
Plan to Walk to Work.
In a number of cases, men,
bers-elect have expressed pref
erence for residence from
which they can walk to work.
Thus, the Board Of Trades staff
cannot take advantage to any
great extent of the large rental

First Aid to Houses
By Roger c. Whitman

Question: The work counter in
our kitchen has black linoleum
or rubber composition" top-I don't
know which. 1t is now covered with
"rub-on" type of varnish. We
would like to remove this and ap-
ply different type of varnish so
that the top will be stain-proof. We
have tried a varnish remover, but
it won't bulge the varnish. What
can we use that will not harm the
top?
Answer: Sponge with a lukewarm
solution of trisodium phosphate
Qarge paint stores; also sold at
grocery stores under trade name; a
llatherless cleaning POWDER in warm
water, using a cupful to the quart
of water. Work on a small part at
time. without flooding.
Let the "triso" remain only long
enough to soften the varnish, then
take up with fine steel wool. Rinse
at once, thoroughly, with clear water
and wipe dry. Let the linoleum dry
for at least IL hours before using
| 1t again. If the counter top is OF
rubber base composition, polish
with a nonrubbmg type of wax.
