Inere Is B new paint DruSn
cleaner on the market and the
story behind it sounded SO in
teresting that we decided to pass
it along to you. It seems young
sailor who abhorred waste saw
infiammable paint brush cleaners
thrown overheard when battle
ships went into action during the
war. When the engagement was
finished, paint brushes were bro
ken out and the job Of painting
and cleaning up the ship was
undertaken. Lacking any kind Of
a brush cleaner the brushes were
also thrown overheard and there
was nothing that could be done
about it. Well, after the war,
this young man, with q smatter-
ing of chemistry, went to work
to perfect a noninfammable paint
brush cleaner. His efforts were
rewarded and now the product is
being merchandised by a large
Eastern manufacturer and dis
tributed locally in several stores.
This new green liquid will bridge
your brush from color to color in
approximately thirty seconds. The
manufacturer claims it will clean
the brush by thoroughly pene-
trating the heel, a complete rinse.
1t will remove all trace Of paint,
enamel, varnish and pigments.
However, it will not clean hard
or crusted brushes. They claim
it is harmless to hair or nylon
bristles. also harmless to clothing
and skin. In other words you can
paint for a while with one color,
then dip the brush in the cleaner,
wipe it out on a cloth, dip In the
cleaner again and repeat the wip-
ing process and then start paint
ing with another color. Just be
careful that the original color is
thoroughly wiped out of the
brush. This product sounds in
teresting and time saving and If
proven satisfactory 1t should be
worthwhile keeping a bottle on
hand in preparation for that next
paint job.
Here is something for the
traveller! A lock-it travel bag
which is really a travel suit bag.
1t is forty-two inches long with
a forty-eight inch Upper. The
lock-it device prevents hanger
from slipping off the rod. You'll
find it is easily accessible, prac-
tical and durable. 1t is grease
and stain resistant. and can be
cleaned with damp cloth. This
travel bag is made of heavy gauge !
plastic with a heavier frame out
line Of quilted type plastic. The
frames fold for compact storage
To lock, one has only to press
down on the side metal strips.
Christmas in July? Never, but
if you are thinking Of presenting
your hubby or best boy friend
with a pair Of argyle socks and
perhaps q matching tie, you'd
better start In July to have them
ready for that famous day. It
takes a long time according to the
way some friends have Jared out.
How about purchasing an argyle
sock kit, which contains anti
shrink. anti-matting 100 per cent
virgin wool. All directions are
included to make either small or
large diamond patterns up to size
twelve in any sock which is illus
trated on the package. The colors
are said to be washfast. You'll
find the men love the matching
ties, so how about securing a knit
attic kit. This contains 125 ounces
Angel Crepe yarn which is II per
cent wool and 20 per cent rayon.
It also comes equipped with COM
plete directions with charts for
making any one Of the designs
illustrated on the package.

Soviet Press Pictures
Opposition as Growing

MOSCOW. Feb. 8 (P.-Russian
newspapers today pictured oppo-
sition to the proposed North At
lantic alliance as growing.
Reference to the pact, which
would link the United States and
Canada with England. France,
Belgium. Holland and Luxem-
bourg, appeared under a number
of foreign date lines. Most re-
ported criticism of the alliance.
Among the headlines on the
stories were:

lantic alliance"
National Council OF America
Soviet Friendship on declaration
of Acheson."
"Dutch newspapers against ag-
gressive intentions of United
States"
The activities of the Norwegian
delegation in Washington to in
vestigate the possibility OF Nor
ways joining the alliance con-
tinued to hold interest here. De-
velopments on this were awaited
and it might also be said every
indication from the Scandinavian
countries as to their attitude to-
ward the alliance is being studied
closely here.

of the facts even before complaints
were issued. He recalled one case
in which he himself was the trial
examiner.
It was this statement that
prompted Senator Morse to call
for more particulars later.
The committee spent all morn
ing questioning Mr.. Denham on
the technical procedures in ham
ding labor disputes. and how these
processes differ now from the early
days of the Wagner Act.
If the Democrats decide to allo-
cate time to the remaining wit
nesses, that probably will set of
another of the verbal battles with
Republicans that have thrown the
hearings into frequent turmoil
from the start.
The Republican members con-
tend the question of how much of
the Taft-Hartley law should be
dropped is too important to be
explored in 10 days. and that there
is no need for ending the hearings
Thursday.
Anxious to Get Issue TO Floor.
The eight Democrats on the
committee already have voted.
however, for repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act, in accordance with
President Truman's campaign
promise, and they are anxious to
get the issue to the Senate floor,
where they realize the substitute
will be written in the final an
alysis.
They face one risk in forcing an
end to the hearings Thursday.
That is the warning of one South
ern Democrat, Senator Ellender
of Louisiana, that If the hearings
appear inadequate when the bill
comes out, he will move to re-
commit the bill for further testi-
mony. If the Republicans stood
together it would take only seven
Southern votes to put the motion
over.
If that should happen the ad-
ministration would lose more time
than it would take to extend the
hearings before reporting a bill.

WoIford Is Acquitted
OF histreating GIs
In Camp in Germany
BY the Associated Press

FORT MEADE. Md, Feb. g.
Capt. Samuel H. Wolford of Clear
Spring, Md, was acquitted by a
court-martial board today of mis-
treatment of American soldiers at
a disciplinary camp in Germany.
He was one of four officers
charged and Is the second to be
acquitted.
Capt. Wolford was accused of
neglecting his duty and cruel,
unjust and inhumane" treatment
Of soldiers in the Army's Wurz-
burg Germany prison camp.
Pvt. Joseph Suggs, who claimed
both his feet had to be ampu-
tated because of frostbite suffered
in an unheated cell at the camp
was called to the witness stand
again today before the acquittal
was handed down.
Pvt. Suggs was the prose
cution's chief witness III its case
against Capt. Wolford and three
other former Wurzburg officers
Capt. Joel Holmes. jr., of Phila-
delphia was acquitted last week
and the two others have yet 10
face trial.
Capt. Wolford testified yester-
day that he thought Pvt. Suggs
froze his feet Intentionally in Or
der to 60 to the hospital"

at Wurzburg from January 2 to 9,

nations In building up their armed
forces.
The Norwegians were believed
to have raised another question as
to what protection they could ex-
pect during the time spent in ne
gotiating the pact.
The State Department put a
tight secrecy ban on details of the
conversations.
Lange Disputes Russia.
Mr.. Lange took occasion, in
talking with reporters. to dispute
Russia's assertion that Norway
had failed to give a clear answer
to a Soviet question about the
possibility of the pact opening up
Norway's territory to American
or other foreign bases.
In a February reply to Soviet
inquiry about Norwegian intent
ions, Norway said she was going to
explore possibilities of joining the
Atlantic pact but never would
grant bases to foreign powers un-
less attacked or threatened with
attack.
The State Department cleared
the way for Mr.. Lange's visit
yesterday by turning aside re-
quests from the Swedish and
Danish ENJOYS to see Mr.. Acheson
during the day. Both Ambas-
sadors, recently returned from
their home capitals, wanted tc
discuss their defense problems
Mr.. Acheson was said to be too
busy with previously scheduled
duties to see them yesterday.
The action was interpreted by
some as a sign American officials
are more interested in talking to
countries that show interest in
ling up with it in a defense alli-
ance. Sweden wants to stay out
of the pact to preserve her tradi-
tional neutrality. while Denmark
has indicated uncertainty about
her plans.

ing authority would cover purchase

or more to produce.
$4,280, 100000 Called Minimum.
Mr.. Hoffman told reporters the
$4,280 ,000,0 900 figure compares
with the $5,055, 100000 voted to
ECA for the first year of the Mar
shall Plan.
He called the $4.280, ,000, 900 a
minimum" for European recov-
cry. He added that, If it turned
out to be insufficient. II may have
to come back to Congress and ask
for more funds" But "if miracles
should happen and it should turn
out that the job can be done with
less, it will be done with less.
Nothing would give me more sat
isfaction than to be able to return
ECA funds to the United States
Treasury"
In ending the distinction be-
tween loans and grants. >ECA
tacitly admitted there is little
prospect of finding additional
recovery projects on which the
Marshall Plan nations are likely
to accept loans. In the first year.
81 900 900, 900, about a fifth of the
total, was earmarked by Congress
for loans but ECA had consider
able difficulty fulfilling this con-
dition. It would like to be free of
such problem in the next year
but may run into congressional
objections on the move.
No Funds for China.
No funds al'e included in today's
request for a China or Korea aid
program, Mr.. Hoffman said. An
interim proposal" for. China will
be submitted later and Mr.. Hoff-
man told reporters this probably
will be done early in March.
In a statement full of conf
dence over both the gains in Eu-
ropean recovery this past year
and prospects for the future. Mr..
Hoffman made these points in his
testimony:
/. If the program brings us
peace and stability-and I fer
vently believe it can't will turn
out to be the greatest bargain that
the American people ever had"
From a political standpoint, lit is
beyond doubt that the ERP al
ready has greatly strengthened
the forces of freedom in Europe" !"

measures of cooperation neces-
sary to achieve economic recovery
