Down in jackson, Tenn, lots
are available with sewer and

That means that lot and house
cost total of 1895.
So II you live in Jackson, Tenn,

OF the Five Points Lumber Co.'S

$500 for the lot, $485 in cash, and

in Is years, the house is all yours.
Note-Owing to present build
Ing costs, generally throughout
the country, q recommendation
has been made to raise the $4,000
limit on Title loans to $4,000 so
that builders in higher-cost areas
can also shoot for the low-cost

Right now the agency has q

now is being asked for an in

ance liability Of 50000 900 to per-
NIT insurance of an additional

open 2x6 beams In the ceiling.
Answer: You could first place q
thick blanket or bait insulation be-
tween the beams and then cover the
entire ceiling with a gypsum wall
board, or else an insulating board.
The vapor proof covering on the in
sulation should be placed against
the under side Of the floor, and the
wallboard should be finished with
enamel.

Answer: The coffee grounds may

Question: In repairing q room,
we had hard fibre wallboard used
on the walls. When applying the
board on the ceiling, the men did
not fit the edges tightly enough, so
it is inclined to give with changes

makes a ridge over the cracks. What
can you suggest?
Answer: II wallpaper was to be

tical. About the only thing I can

stainless steel or wool moulding.

|Gromyko Auns Issue
|0f Using U. n. Army
In HoIy.land Partition
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, Mar. s.
Russia's renewed support and a
slightlysstronger American stand
frightened the prospects today
for Palestine partition.
A long-awaited Soviet speech yes
terday served to clear the air and
gave Security Council delegates
something new to discuss at today's
meeting.
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko lodged the issue of
sending a United Nations armed
force into the Holy. Land. He did
accept a portion Of the American
plan supporting the principle of
partitions He also agreed to Big
Five consultations on the subject
but objected to a United States
plan for carrying out the talks.
Speech Is Conciliatory.
Mr.. Gromyko's speech was un-
usually conciliatory. Twice he ac-
cused the United States of at
tempting to confuse the issue, but
his countersuggestions appeared to
offer a basis for settlement. He
also omitted previous charges that
the British are obstructing parti-
ton.
The United States wants the
Council to establish Big Five
committee to look into the Pales-
tine problem, talk with the Arabs
and Jews and report back. Mr..
Gromyko says the Big Five should
meet independently of the Council
and should not bother trying to
mend differences between the Jews
and Arabs at this late stage.
United States Delegate Warren
r. Austin reserved comment on
the Russian speech. He was un-
derstood to feel that the differences
were not insurmountable and that
once the Council went on record as
supporting partition other agree
ments would unfold gradually.
The British, however, remained

Arm in their stand not to take part
in any discussions designed to en-
force partition. Arthur Creech
Jones, colonial secretary. said his
government could not serve on the
American-suggested committee.
British Position Outlined.
Mr.. Creech Jones summed up the
British position with this sentence
I'VE cannot participate in any way
In the implementation of scheme
which involves the coercion of one
of the communities ARABS, and
that the larger, in Palestine, or the
assumption of further commitments
in Palestine by the British govern
ment."
The United States has taken the
stand that partition cannot be en-
forced legally with arms, but that
the council can act to meet threats
to the peace. Some observers here
believe that Mr.. Austin took a fur
ther step when he said:
"The council may regard attempts
to alter by force the settlement en-
visaged by this resolution (parti-
tion) as constituting such threat. =

make sure that the convictions In
the anti-racketeering case were 60
ing to stick before the Justice De-
partment dropped the mail-fraud
indictment.
Once that was certain. he said, no
purpose would be served in keeping
the second indictment alive since
even if convictions were obtained
under it, the court might well make
the sentences concurrent with those
already being served.
Mr.. Kostelanetz said this was SO
because the two cases covered es-
sentially the same course of con-
duct" He said the "vice" was that
the men had control of the Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical and
Stage Employees and took money
from whatever source derived"
Shakedown Charged.
The anti-racketeering case in
volved threats of force to shake
down major movie producers. The
mail-fraud case, Mr.. Kostelanetz
said, involved assessing a 2 per cent
tax on salaries of union members.
He testified that % good portion
but not all of the money derived
from union members was used by
the defendants for themselves. He
estimated that perhaps $4O0 600 or
$500,0 was thus diverted from
union purposes.
Mr.. Kostelanetz said the Justice
Department elected to go ahead with
the anti-racketeering case because
there were more defendants and
conviction carried heavier penalties.
In this memorandum to Mr.. Clark,
which was put In the committee
records, the former prosecutor de-
scribed the defendants as notorious
as successors to the underworld
power of Al Capone. They are
vicious criminals who would stop at
nothing to achieve their ends"
Mr.. Kostelanetz testified that when
he wrote the memorandum he had
no thought of the men seeking
paroles.
The committee commended him
for his courage and determination
in prosecuting the case.

Anti-Infection Druqs
Replacing Surgery,
Chest Pioneer SAYS

DR.. Evarts A. Graham, one of the
worlds foremost surgeons, last night
predicted that development of new
infection-killing drugs would some
day limit the surgeons work almost
entirely to the correction of NAL
formations of birth or injuries from
accidents.
The whole area of the surgeon s
practice is rapidly shifting, he de-
clared In the annual Kellogg post
graduate lecture at George Wash
ington University Medical School.
Physicians from throughout the
Washington area were on hand to
hear DR.. Graham, a pioneer in chest
surgery, past president of the
American College of Surgeons. the
American Association for Thoracic
Surgery and the American Surgical
Association.
He told them he was willing to
predict that new chemical agents
now being worked on, and others
yet to be discovered, would eventu-
ally eliminate the role Of the sur
geon in the treatment of cancer.
Within the last three years, he
pointed out, the increasing use ol
penicillin and the sulphonamide
drugs has almost halted surgery
to relieve empyema, the accumula-
ton of pus In the chest after pneu-
monia. This was, until recently
among the most common opera
tions. >
Mastoid surgery, he said, also has
been made unnecessary, in many
cases. by proper use of these drugs
DR.. Graham said he suspected there
were many other types of surgery
related to infections, which will be-
come less common as knowledge OF
drugs which halter infection with
out harming the patient increases
On the other hand, the surgeon
pointed out, many maladies pre-
viously treated by medicine alone
may prove better handled by sur
gerry. as better technioues and i'm
proved methods of anesthesia are
developed.
Among these, he named various
blood vessel and heart diseases.
