of the Fifty-Fifty treatment. The
committee has asked him to make
some telling appointments of women
70 important positions soon.
Mrs. Edwards is a former news
paperWoman and lost q son In World
War II. She is close to Mrs. Roose-
welt, Miss Perkins and the others
who built the women's division into
a formidable power in the party;
now she hopes to develop younger
women In their tradition.
No orchid-wearers content merely
to decorate the from. row need ap-
ply. Like her former opposite num-
Der on the Republican National
Committee, Marion Martin, Mrs
Edwards distinctly belongs to the
up guards and at 'em" school. Re-
publican Chairman Reece, recoiiine
from a more moderate Fifty-Fifty
proposal by Miss Martin in 1916
fired her. 1t was Democratic Chair
man McGrath who urged the Presi-
dent to appoint Mrs. Edwards.
Farty Snort OF Funds.
Her vigorous plans are the only
fresh breeze around the becalmed
Democrats. One major difficulty is
money. The Southern rebels who
formerly poured in funds from their
Jefferson-Jackson dinners are hold
ing on to all of 1t. Kentucky and
Tennessee came through; North
Carolina has promised. That's all.
Ohio Democrats who got the bad
news that the unpopular Charles
Sawyer was being made Secretary
OF Commerce at their Jackson Day
dinner promptly growled they would
hold on to their money too. So fa1
they have. New York has all but
dried up as q source Of funds afte,

1t begins to look as If the Presi-
dents much criticized Wall Street
appointments might have to take
their place as his major financial
supporters.

Italian Anti.Red Vote Seen Creating

kissed of lightly as now ineffective
and devoid Of political-or military
influence.
If in the United States, we are
concerned-and rightly so-over a
Communist Party which has less
than 100000 actual members, that
Is less than one-tenth Of per cent
Of the American population, what
must we still feel about q Commu-
mist Party which can count on a
solid backbone Of 100000, more
than 10 per cent Of Italy's 45,000,-
600 people?
The fact to be realized is that
communism is by no means through
in italy, either as q political power
or as a real threat of eventual civil
upheaval, and our plans must be
predicated on that basis. We must
look forward not only to the neces-
sity Of carrying on q continuing
struggle in Italy, as elsewhere
against communism. This struggle
must not, If we are not to lose the
benefits Of the Marshall Plan and
all of our diplomatic moves before
the elections, be permitted to de-
teriorate to the point where the
Communists could sweep a future
election or, worse, initiate a series
Of violent measures which would
bring communism to power outside
the polls.
Communists Bide Time.
One tenet in the Communist
creed is that time works always on
the side OF the revolution. De-
feated once, the Communist Party
bides its time for q fresh opportu-
nifty. The Kremlin feels that 1t
has all the time in the world and
can afford to wait. while consolidat-
ing its hold after each reverse.
To an extent communism has the
western democracies on the spot in
Italy and elsewhere in Europe. We
went to such lengths to defeat COM
munism in Italy that we committed
ourselves In q number of different
ways to do certain things. Our
failure to do those things now
would sour the very people who
gave us our recent success.
Eternal vigilance is the first re-
quirement in holding communism in
check. 1t is no less necessary on
the foreign than on the domestic
! front.

money to another school. That
amount pays a lot Of salaries. buys .
lot of equipment.
I talked to Lynn Waldorf, coach
Of California, about this matter to-
day. Lynn, one of the great coaches
IN the country, knows both sides,
because before moving to California
last year he had spent many years
coaching Northwestern, one Of the
real hard-knockers in the Big Nine.
Prefers to Play Champ.
He admitted that If he came up
with q big team at California
which he is svery likely to do this
year-he would rather play the Big
Nine champion even If 1t happened
to be Michigan or Illinois. Even II
he got licked, he and his boys would
have had the satisfaction Of having
played the best, and not q team that
got in the bowl only because Of the
rules.
Waldorf was not respondent over
the manner in which Big Nine teams
have dominated the Rose Bowl for
the last two years.
The Big Nine recovered more
quickly from the effects of the war
on sports" he said. TT won't be
long until the Pacific Coast will bs
able to handle itself in any COM
pany."
But until that day comes, the
coast fans will suffer badly from
wounded prides.

in the headlines, the situation ex-
planned itself. The Un-American
Activities Committee was merely
following its consistent un-Ameri-
can practice Of publicly smearing
defenseless citizens and then seek
ing or pretending to seek evidence
to support the smear. But when the
House, by a vote Of 300 to 20, as
sociates itself completely with the
committees conduct, further ex-
planation is required.
The House Is composed Of 435
truly representative Americans. They
are decent men and women. For
character and ability they are un-
questionably up to our national
average; indeed, they need to be
above average to obtain their po-
litical eminence. As individuals they
are accustomed to behaving with
propriety and with consideration for
the rights Of other citizens. They
are, that is to say, with few ex-
ceptions. The exceptions dominate
the Un-American Committee.
Can't Condone Conduct.
Given all the circumstances Of the
DR.. Condor incident, 1t Is impossible
to believe that the majority of the
House members can, in their hearts,
condone the conduct of the COM
mittee. Their sympathy must be
with the outraged scientist and they
must respect the President for his
efforts to protect him against
further abuse. Why then the willing
ness Of most of the members to
stand up and be counted on the
side Of the committee?
A story used to be related con-
cerning the autocratic head Of q

Told by trusted aide that certain
important member Of the organiza-
ton was blankety-blank- blank, the
tycoon is reputed to have replied,

tee.
That's the inferiority complex at
work. The House is always quick

The Communists were swamped
it is true, under an avalanche OF
votes pulled to the polls by a series
Of extremely adroit moves by the
American Government, the Catholic
Church and the De Gasperi govern
ment in Italy. The fact must not
be blinked, however, that Italy still
has 5000, 900 persons who voted for
the Communists.
Not all of these are Communists,
Of course. Some were leftist Social
lists, who now are re-examin1ng
their position in the alliance with
the Communists. Others were rank
and file italian voters, who chose
the Communists against the anti
Communist parties. Still others
were the wives Of Communists, who
voted under the influence of their
husbands sympathies with or
participation In the Communist
movement.

In a democracy there is every
reason why the branch OF the

Proper Technique Will Make
Washdays Cheerful and Cool
By Ertta Haley

A WOMAN said to me recently,
"A There's nothing to washing
clothes. People have done 1t for
thousands of years and surely they
know how"
That may be true, but many peo-
pie have never seen washing done
properly and, as it Is with many
simple tasks, there's always a right
way.
Many women, for example, do not
sort their clothes. In fact, they've
never heard of such nonsense!
Don't they all 60 through the ma
chine? Yes, they do, but If they
come out the lighter or darker
shade of gray, well then, they SIM
ply didn't let the machine run long
enough or they were short of soap!
One of the common faults in
using a machine for washing is
overlooking. You must get the
proper loads in to have best re-
suits. You can simplify the laun-
dering problem a lot just by sort
ing the clothes and running them
through in the following order.
The least soiled things like bed
linens are run through first. Nat
urally we assume that you change
weekly and linen is not allowed to
get very dirty.
II table linens are less soiled run
these through first, then bed linens.
Shirts and light colored things
with perhaps a few towels make up
the third load.
Moderately soiled cottons and
linens, towels and slightly soiled

Cling makes them flat by flattening

Towels usually shrink after the
first few launderings. Shrinkage
pulls the threads closer together
and the towels will appear heavier
after washing than when pur-
chased. Maximum absorbency on
Turkish towels is reached after four
or five washings.
When you launder bed linens,
never add chemical bleaches while
the clothes are in the tub. Soak
and apply a bleach when essential
in a separate bucket or pan. Add
soap when you first fill the tub, not
when the clothes are already in it.
Some people launder clothes so
carefully that they make them last

Attend Political Meetings

Go to political meetings. Not the
important ones; but the little in
significant ones of which there are
10 notices in your newspaper this
very day. Go into unfamiliar
neighborhoods. Talk to the intense
men and women nearest YOU.
They'll be much too interested in
the program to pay much attention
to you personally, but they'll love to
tell you what it's all about. The
rougher, the palmer and grimier
the meeting, the more you're apt
to find yourself taking sides. You'll
forget your shyness and loneliness
and presently find yourself swept
along to Harry's or Johnnie's for
coffee and sinkers, still talking.
There is nothing in the world more
stimulating.

your own voice saying aloud. ~

prayer and created a new heart in

advantage of fine education and
have been a teacher, you may be
nominated as spokesman or dele
gate to other meetings and find
yourself in way you never
dreamed possible.
Look at the women at these meet
ings, the women at parent-teacher
meetings and the women flocking
out of church on Sunday morning.
There you'll find specialized women,
women with bulbous noses, smart
and stupid women, fat and thin,
dowdy and stylish-all successfully
married and many the mothers of
children. They didn't do it on their
looks. They gained what they have
gained because they realized from
their very girlhood days that men
are like women, too thin, fat,
stupid, smart, shy, inhibited. lonely
and that most of them want to
find mates. But since the start Is
so hard for you in your own group,
go to some good, rowdy meetings,
where everyone talks to everyone
else, and break the ice. Good
luck to you.
