It was a man who flew in the face of public opinion and admitted openly that "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" No doubt he incurred the wrath of the bulk of his constituents, but wom- en, all of whom had lived in snug consciousness of the fact for many centuries, grabbed this first public acknowledgement to take the first steps to freedom and equality of the sex.
 Now, it has been agreed that it is high time that women be repre- sented by column in our own Seward paper. Sometime, we hope, this will expand to a whole woman's page! The author prefers to remain known simply as "The Cradle Rocker" for several reasons. She feels that you Seward women may cooperate more readily if you do not actually know when you are talking to her, and you will be talking to her many times week.
 By cooperation, I mean this: if you have a favorite recipe, verse, or a question to ask, just drop penny postcard in the mail ad- dressed to The Cradle Rocker, Seward Seaport Record. Box 204. and the author will do her best to look up the answer to your ques tion. For instance:
 l was in the beauty parlor this week when certain gal was get ting a special oil treatment be- cause she had failed to cover her hair when she painted her kitchen. Like most of us, she had run short of white paint, because she had smeared so much into her hair and onto herself instead of putting it all on the wall. Carbon tetra- chloride had removed the paint from her hands and face very readily, SO, Mrs. K also used it on her hair! The result was dried and brittle ends that will have to be cut, along with many expensive oil treatments. Had she but known it, a little turpentine on cotton, followed by olive oil would have saved her much grief.
 Incidently, this is the same gal who swallowed the stuff thinking it was mineral oil! She says it doesn't work inside any better than outside. Perhaps she should keep it out of sight.
 Our column is designed to avoid just such misadventures as this. If you have a question of what to use for unusual stains, etc, drop us a line, and we will search in all the books in town to try and find the answer for you. This is your column-make use of it!

Development Board Proposes Full Time Washington Office

JUNEAU - A full-time Alaska office in Washington, D.C., to as- sist the Delegate and push such programs as statehood, road and airfield construction, effective ship ping legislation. and development matters before Congress and the Federal administrative agencies was proposed recently by the Alas ka Development Board.
 The board, in a unanimous dec laration, points out that Alaska's s Delegate, who is already the most overworked man in Washington. is faced with even greater tasks ahead in attempting to carry out legislative programs for which the people of Alaska have so de- cisively spoken.
 Delegate E. l.. Bob" Bartlett has endorsed the Development Board proposal.
 ''No state has less than three men in Congress-" a board state ment said. Alaska, with so many pressing needs in the national capital, has been expecting one man to do the whole job. No mat ter how able and devoted our Dele gate is, it would be impossible for one man to accomplish all the things the Territory wants done in Washington.
 The Territories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico have long had offices in Washington, the board pointed out. The budget of the Washing ton office of Puerto Rico. for ex- ample, this year alone totals $125,- 900 and provides seven employees. The Territories have found that such representation pays off in benefits which can be gained at the capital.
 The Alaska Development Board has included an item of $65, 900 for a Washington office in it's budget request for the next biennium. This is about one-fourth as much as Puerto Rico spends for the same purpose. The Development Boards total appropriation request for all it's activities the next biennium is s500,OO0.

Broker Steele Freed
On Realty Charges

Four charges of real estate law
violations against Larry o. Steele.
property broker, were tossed out OF
Municipal Court yesterday, after a
trial before Judge Ellen K. Raedy.
Meanwhile, the District Real Es-
tate Commission today still had
under advisement another charge
that Mr.. Steele, who has an Office
at 927 Fifteenth street NV, know
ingly" participated in the sale three
years ago Of a $40, 500 home with an
unlicensed broker.
The District, through Assistant
Corporation Counsel Robert F.
Kneipp, yesterday tried to prove
that Mr.. Steele Simulated" sales
with intent to '1mislead and de-
fraud" the principals in two trans
actions. He also was charged with
knowingly" paying an unlicensed
broker, identified as Jerome Clarke
colored, commission for his al
legged part in the deal.
Judge Raedy, however, found that
no fraud had occurred in either
sale, since the sellers had received
the full price that had been mu-
tually agreed on. The judge &C
copied Mr.. Steele's explanation that
he had mistakenly placed Jerome
Clarke's name in the sale contracts,
when he intended to insert the
name of Jerome's brother Morris
who is licensed broker, with Offices
adjoining Jerome's, in the 900 block
Of Sixth street NV. Attorney Mark
Friedlander conducted the defense.
Jerome Clarke is to appear today
before Judge Raedy on four charges
growing out of the same transac-
ton. The District accuses him of
dealing in real estate without a
license and of participating In
simulated" sales.

Reshuff|ing Of Cabinet
Expected in Greece

ATHENS, May S. - Informed
sources predicted today that the
Greek cabinet will be reshuff1ed
when Parliament meets May 10, and
perhaps before.
Some informants said the present
Liberal-Populist coalition govern
ment may be forced to resign.
There has been increasing crit
icism of the government by mem
bers of Parliament who contend it
is not meeting present problems
effectively.
Vice Premier Constantin Tsal-
daris, head Of the Greek Liberal
Party, and Premier Themistokles
Sophoulis talked for an hour last
night and told newsmen King Paul
would receive them today. They
said an announcement will be made
after they are received by the King.
Under fire by the Greek press
generally was Costas RENTS, Min
lister of Public Order. The Greek
Army has been dissatisfied with
civilian measures Mr.. RENTS has
taken. He is Liberal.
Mr.. RENTS became Acting Min
lister Of Justice following the assas-
sination Saturday Of Christos Ladas
by young man police identified as
a member of Communist execution
squad.
Included among those who may
be replaced during cabinet shuttle
are Minister of Air Dimitrios Dingas,
Minister of Supply Fokion Zaimas
and Minister of National Economy
George Varvoutis. They probably
would be replaced by Liberals.
Populist Party members who may be
dropped include the Minister Gov
ernor General Of Northern Greece,
Aristides Bassiakos, and the under
secretary of the press, Nicholas
Baltazzi- Mavrocordato.

City Plays Host Today
To Mayor Of Ottawa
And 81 ofItsCitizens

Washington is playing host today
to the mayor and 81 leading citi-
zens of Ottawa, the capital Of
Canada.
The Canadians were to call on
Speaker Martin in the Capitol to-
day, after a sightseeing trip in
chartered buses. This afternoon
they will place a wreath on the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and
plant a maple tree, the Canadian
national symbol, in Arlington Gene
terry
Leon Chatelain, jr., newly elected
president of the Washington Board
of Trade, will, in turn, plant maple
tree at the Canadian War Memo
rial in the cemetery. A third maple
will be planted to commemorate the
trip at the Canadian Embassy, 1746
Massachusetts, avenue NV. The
visitors will leave by plane tomor-
row afternoon.
The plane bearing Mayor J. E.
Stanley Lewis of Ottawa and a
third of the party arrived ahead of
time yesterday with the aid of a
tailwind. No one was on hand to
greet them. When the welcoming
party headed by Brig. Gen. Gordon
r. Young, Engineer Commissioner
and Mr.. Chatelain arrived, the
Canadians good-naturedly boarded
the plane again and got out to re-
ceiye a proper greeting.
The visitors were given a recep-
ton last night by the Board of
Trade in the Hotel Washington.
Purpose of the visit has to do
with plans for making the Ottawan
metropolitan area a capital district
like Washington. The federal gov
eminent has its buildings in the city
but does not rule it. A few weeks
ago the members Of the Greater
National Capital Committee, includ-
ing representatives of the adjoining
towns on both sides of the Ottawa
River, visited Washington.
