The Associated Press quoted Sen

Charleston that the Senate group
had asked Gen. Marshall some time
ago for access to the files of aliens

make our own investigation"
That request was refused" he
said. and yet the Secretary OF
State permits a privately selected
committee to study those records
and make report.

Action Awaits Study.
Michael j. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, pointed out
today that the report of the COM
mittee appointed by Gen. Marshall
showed that its members were
sworn in as employees of the State
Department before they were given
access to confidential files. He said
they were governed by State De-
partment regulations as to the han
ding of classified material, and as
to its disclosure to persons outside
the department.
Mr.. McDermott said he did not
know whether any disciplinary &C
ton will be taken against any of
the three visa division officials
whose testimony the committee
branded irresponsible. >" The whole
thing is under study" he said.
The Marshall committee acknowl-
edged that there is a recognized
degree of potential danger to our
security in the admission Of aliens
to this country who are antagonis-
tic to our form of government and
vigorous promoters of their own -
but said this is "a calculated risk
implicit in the location of UN head
quarters here.
Your committee has not come
into the possession of any facts to
indicate that the risk is matter
for great concern" it added.

siderably lower"
Set against this was the fact that
chocie to prime steers set new high
price level of $41.5O hundred
pounds in the Chicago livestock
market this week. This type OF
meat, however, rarely finds its way
to retail stores. 1t usually ends up
in the hotel and night club trade
Cuts in New York.
In New York, according to the
Associated Press, retailers have an
nounced price cuts ranging as high
as 20 cents a pound on some types
OF meats. One butcher said rib
lamb chops currently are priced at
~ cents pound as against SO cents
a week ago. A retail grocery chain
has cut its sirloin steak from SO
cents to 79 pound, and marked its
roasts down 10 cents a pound. Pork
chops still are holding around $1.19
pound, one retailer said.
August F. Guckenberger, executive
secretary of the New York Food
Merchants Association, attributed
the downward adjustment in some
meat prices to "hot weather, vaca-
tions, and the high prices which
have been prevailing"
He added that while there is no
consistent movement to cut prices,
individual butchers are reducing
items they happen to have in good
supply"
Dairy products generally are un-
changed from a week ago, but fresh
fruit and vegetable prices are some
what lower because of increased ar
rivals from nearby producing areas
Other items which have declined in
clude rice, dry beans, coffee, cocoa
and some canned foods.
Food Indexes Down.
Food indexes reflect the decline.
The Dun & Bradstreet index, which

WaIIaceites Still Plan
Northeast Tour Despite
Hostility at Meeting

Progressive Party officials here
said today they still planned to send
a group of "anti-Jim Crow" cam
paigners into Northeast Washing
ton tonight, despite the hostile re-
ception they received when they
tried to hold a mass meeting at
Eighteenth and D streets NE. last
night.
Police were called to the area
when a sound truck, advertising the
mass meeting and plastered with
antidiscrimination signs, was sur
rounded by crowd of hecklers. In
side the truck, four members of the
party supporting Henry Wallace
tried In vain to make themselves
heard over the din of catcalls and
automobile horns, police said.
Paul Johnson, jr., SO, proprietor
Of the Sound Equipment Co., 1906
Twentieth street NV, who was
driving the truck, said several men
in the crowd shouted, You'd better
get out Of here If you value your
lives" He said about 500 persons
were gathered there.
No Arrests Made.
Mr.. johnson said he protested he
was neutral, and merely had rented
the truck to the Progressive Party.
We don't care. get out anyway"
he said they shouted.
Mr. johnson said he drove from
the scene after police and his pas
sengers advised him to do so. About
II police vehicles were on the scene,
he said.
No arrests were made
Police Praised.
William Capitman, executive sec
retary of the District Progressive
Party, praised the police for their
cooperation, and said they handled
the situation very intelligently."
The hecklers were of the same
mentality as those who threw eggs
at Mr.. Wallace in North Carolina"
he said.
We plan to go through the streets
of the area with a sound truck to-
night. tomorrow and Saturday" he

to coincide with the scheduled
speech here of Henry Wallace, Pro-

date. The arrangements were made
several months ago, he said.
The Wallace speech is set for
Mount Olive Negro Baptist Church
at the same hour as the Klan cere-
mony planned for a field near the
city.
I'm glad it's happened this way,
because none of our men will be

anything does happen there then
the Klan can't be charged with it,"
Mr.. Huling declared.

Question: I painted my kitchen
linoleum with brown paint and the
paint came of the very next day
Could you tell me how to keep 1t
from coming of?
Answer: The trouble may have
been due to insufficient cleaning
beforehand. There may have been
traces of wax and grease still on
the floor. I suggest that you wash
without flooding with too much
water) the Hnoleum with luke
warm solution of trisodium phos-
phate in water, about three pounds
to the gallon. Work on a small
part at time, and let the solution
stay only long enough to soften the
paint: then take it up with fine
steel wool.
Rinse at once, thoroughly and
wipe dry. Let it air-dry for II hours
before walking on it, to give it time
to harden. When repainting, try
stippling in two colors Of medium
and light brown, in order to break
up footprints and stay clean-looking
longer. Apply the background color
and let dry hard. Then cut a large
sponge in half. Apply the second
color thickly on a piece of clean
beard. Press the fiat side of the
cut sponge on the wet paint and
transfer it to the linoleum, thus
giving the sponge pattern. Ventilate
the kitchen while working. The
paint will not last indefinitely. Re-
touch from time to time.

Ceiling Window Units
Called Best Solution
|For Added Ventilation
By w. Wordsworth Wood

The small low-cost house usually
suffers from the lack of enough
windows to make 1t comfortable in
very hot weather, or to ventilate
it properly all through the year.
When another window is essential
to comfort, the best solution Is to
install ceiling window.
Ceiling windows are so named be-
cause of the fact that they are in
stalled in the walls at about head
height These units are very In
expensive. In fact, standard base-
ment sash make the ideal window.
The installation consists of cut
ting the proper-sized opening in the
wall, and hanging the window,
which is hinged at the top, direct
to the framing. The unit IS ar
ranged so as to open in, and can be
fitted with an ordinary hook and
eye, or with a folding bracket which
will keep it half or fully opened.
The ceiling window offers full use
of all of the wall space beneath it,
and avoids the conditions so often
found in small homes where beds
or bureaus are partly in front OF
the windows to enable them to fit
into the room.
The ceiling window permits quick
cooling of room. since the moment
this type window is opened all
the heated air near the ceiling
rushes out.
It Is not necessary to install this
type of window so high as to pre-
vent one seeing out. Five feet high
will clear the average bed-head or
large piece of furniture.

Utility Cabinet
Called Boon in
Housing Shortage
By D. M. Derwin

Almost every newspaper reader
has personal acquaintance or
knowledge of families who, because
of lack of proper housing, must
double up with friends or relatives.
More and more housewives are
turning to the use of utility pieces
in answer to their needs for added
storage space in today's home. They
want this added space desperately,
but they also demand it in good
taste and appealing design. Many
home owners have become attracted
to utility furniture solely because
of its convenience to everyday liv-
ing.
One furniture company has de-
veloped a combination utility cabi-
net which is used in combination
with any standard, three-quarter or
tWin-size bed and takes the place
of dresser, end table, night stand,
bookcase and radio cabinet. At the
same time, it provides storage and
shelf room in space heretofore
wasted.
The cabinet is a disable piece of
furniture which accentuates the
beauty of a modern living room and

Then she heard about the open

TT is really heartbreaking,

have left this Office looking as if

there is hardly anything worse
than not to have a place to

ture," she says, "but I hear so
many peoples troubles that I

most important thing people

Generally, couples in greatest
immediate need of an apartment
are those living in a rented room
who are expecting the birth of a
child, she said. They worry ter

perate."
