Submarine-Launched
Guided Missiles Seen
In Control Of Seas

The Navy's top admiral believes
submarine Launched guided, mis-
siles, rather than aircraft, may
decide Americas control of the
seas in any future war.
The officer is Admiral Louis E
Denfeld, Chief of Naval Opera
tions. His view was disclosed last
night in an address delivered for
him by his deputy for aviation,
Vice Admiral john D. Price.
The address was heard at the
third annual meeting of the
Armed Forces Communications
Association.
AS guests of the Navy. the COM
munications officers today were
inspecting special facilities at
Anacostia Naval Air Station, the
Naval Research Laboratory and
the Naval Gun Factory. The Army
was host last year at the service
wide convention.
Special Television Program.
A feature of this afternoon S
program was a special telecast
to the convention headquarters at
the Shoreham Hotel from the
Navy's experimental educational
television station in the Office
of Naval Research at Sands Point,
Long Island.
The program. carried over the
facilities of The Stars station
WMAL-T -TV. was to show how tele-
vision is put to educational use
at Sands Point.
Visiting delegates have been di-
vided into three groups to tour
Naval facilities in this area today
and tomorrow.
Admiral Denfeld declared last
night. Just how we will fulfill our
mission Of Controlling the seas In
the future is open to speculation.
Instead Of the modern weapon
aircraft-guided missiles launched
from the decks Of underwater YES
sells may ensure that the ap-
proaches to our continent rerain
safe"
Submarines already can laurch
guided missiles, the naval chief
said. They also can carry troops,
attack other submarines. act as
scouts, and attack in mass with
other submarines, acting as part
of an underseas task force, he
added.
The Navy's present major strik-
ing force rests in it's carrier born
air power, the admiral conceded.
To-day. the capital ship OF the
United States Navy is the car
rier." he declared. The large
bore guns of the battleships OF
yesteryear have been supplanted
by aircraft, thus increasing the
range of our warships striking
power by hundreds of miles" Fast,
mobile carrier task forces are
"eminently suited" to dealing sur
prise attacks on the enemy. he
said.
The Navy of tomorrow will Ger
tainly be an offshoot of the Navy
of today, just as the modern Navy
is based upon the experience of
the Navy of the past" the admi-
rails address said. But he added:
"What-that future Navy will be
in appearance. I cannot predict.
Such a prediction would require a
limitless Imagination"

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 29.-In what
observers called the shrewdest leg
islative maneuver Of the current
session, Senate Minority Leader
Robert Kimble last night gained
tentative approval Of a move which
would require Senate confirmation
of members of the State Public
Service Commission.
Senator Kimbles' action came at
the end of a stormy three hour
session and was in the form of an
amendment to a bill which would
raise the salaries of PSC members
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year and
increase the chairman's pay from
$1,000 to $4,000.
1t was offered Unexpectedly
after series of amendments pro-
posed by Senator Goldstein, Dem
ocrat. of Calvert County, had been
overwhelmed, and was carried by
a It'll roll call vote.
Tax Bills Buried.
Protracted debate before the
vote on the amendments brought
observations from several Senators
that the recent increase in tele-
phone rates would not have been
ordered if the commissioners had
given all their time to official
affairs. They explained that it
would have required $50 hours
to hear opposing arguments and
that much time was not available.
In another action, the Senate
passed bill which fixes the State
real estate tax at Ills cents on
each 500 of assessable property.
The Senators buried a batch of
tax bills, but had to debate and
defeat one on a referendum to de-
termine whether the people want
q graduated income tax.
In the House constitutional
amendment limiting the President
of the United States to two terms
was defeated.
Sixty delegates favored a reso-
luton. 10 more than the number
opposing 1t. but they lacked by
two the majority required to pass

eral Assembly.
The issue was not altogether
dead. as two similar resolutions
have been introduced in the Sem
ate.
Declining to heed the COM
plants of smaller counties, the
House froze it's membership at 1873.
The vote was 79 to "a on the bill.

ing of belonging-that is it should
be an intrinsic part of a whole. For
instance, a group of simple framed
prints centered over a desk and
lamp arrangement presents a pleas
ing and well balanced whole. Or, a
horizontal arrangement of prints
hung close to a horizontal piece such
as a sofa, gives it added importance.
If you are lucky enough to have
a fireplace, a large picture or framed
mirror will make it the dramatic
center of interest. Every picture
should in some way be supported
by floor pieces.
There is no rigid rule for hanging
pictures. They should be hung as
near to eye level as practical, but
other factors are matters of nice bal
ance and good taste-a large picture
over a large piece of furniture, or
if small pictures are hung, group
them into an important arrange
ment.

an Editorial
Gardening

SOME ONE HAS SAID that any,
one who still enjoys gardening by
the middle of the summer is a real
gardener. By that time much real
work has gone into the reward of
any lettuce, carrots or peas. And
there can be a lot of work for naught
if hot winds or hail storms have
come along. Stability and persever-
ance are virtues necessary in gar
dening.
Being a gardener is much the
same sort of experience as being a
parent. You have worked with
something alive that does not al
ways turn out according to expec-
tations. One cannot put energy and
affection into a child or a plant that
develops its own personality with
out having experienced joy and dis
appointment. A piece of iron can be
hammered into exactly the sort of
rod the blue print shows. Not so a
child or a plant.
David Grayson is probably not
read very much these days. 1t is
unfortunate because he has so much
of homely philosophy in his writ
ings. In his little volume "Adven-
lures in Understanding" he says
that "All true gardeners, become,
sooner or later, philosophers"
Whenever we pull weeds in our
garden we think of that statement
and enjoy philosophizing. Weeds,
for instance, tell US much about
human experiences. For instance,
they can take over a respectable
garden in no time unless they are
curbed-just like bad habits. And
we always smile when we come
upon a weed that has been over
looked beside a flower or a vegeta-
BILE. Just this morning we found a
rag weed in the flower box trying,
and succeeding very well, to appear
proper and genteel among the luXu-
RANT geraniums.
Gardens have a therapeutic value
The warm sun, the fresh air, ever
the good earth have definite healins
properties to mind and body, al
many of us al testify.
Anyone who has never had tn,

Summer

When the breezes lift the perfume,
Sweet from hay that's freshly mown,
Mixes it with flower fragrance,
IT'S the sweetest zephyr known;
And when thunder roars at evening,
With the flashing lightning nigh,
Then we know again we're standing
Underneath the summer sky.

Pictures Add Beauty
To Your Home

WITH THE GROWING interest in
identifying the home, still one of
the simplest and most effective
means of decoration is sorely neg
lected. What is the largest area in
a room? The walls, of course. And
the most important wall accessory.
pictures.
Naturally, it is unthinkable to
consider pictures unless they are ap-
propriately framed, for good looking
frames give a well-dressed appear
ance.
In looking around for ways to
dress up your home or in contem-
plating what will go into your
grand-scale redecorating, remember
that plain or patterned walls are
not enough. There is no adequate
substitute for the feeling of culture
and interest that the intelligent use
of pictures can impart to a room.
Few Basic Rules
There are only a few basic rules to
follow in choosing pictures. Two
prime factors should be satisfied.
First, you will choose pictures you
like. This sounds so simple as to be
unworthy of mention, but pictures
are a personal affair-they mean
n thing to n person and some
thing entirely different to another.
But whatever the general comment
may be, don't be afraid to stick to
your choice.
OF course, all pictures are not set
off advantageously in any one room.
The color and form of the pictures
must blend harmoniously with the
whole of the rooms decor, although
there is no rigid restriction of what
will blend with what.
Skillfully handled, appropriately
framed paintings lend themselves
well to any period of furnishing
Harmony of color can largely be
achieved through picking up the
dominant color of the picture in
other accessories in the room-lamr
shades, colored glassware, decora.
tive pieces, or accents of color il
the rug, draperies, or upholstery.
Pictures Should Belong"
Pictures should be hung in rela
ton to the furniture grouping. Ev

My Grandmother
BY HAZEL HAYDEN
Big Horn County

GRANDMA'S HOUSE held all the
enchantment that could be conjured
by a child's imagination. 1t was a
small house. and had nothing out
standing about it except its immacu-
lateness and there are lots of clean
houses, so it must have been just
Grandma that lent it it's enchanting
air.
Perhaps there are many grand
mothers like her, but her grandchil-
dren thought she was unique. She
was story-teller, philosopher and a
sort of fairy godmother all rolled
into n marvellous grandmother,
and we all adored her.
Often in the evening I sat at one
end of the kitchen table and she at
the other, the soft glow of a kero-
sene lamp lighting the small kitch-
n (Grandma's lamp always SPAR
killed. like cut glass;. She had a neat
little living room, too, but she must
have sensed that l, like every other
child, loved the kitchen more than
any other room in the house.
Grandma's Treasure Box
I was waiting for the special priv
ilege of looking through Grandma's
treasure box. AS I recall now all it
contained was writing paper, pen
ellis, stamps and a few little knick-
knacks, but to me, at age II, it held
all the magic my imagination could
bring forth.
We children all understood per-
fectly that staying over night with
Grandma was a very special privi-
lege and granted only to a very good
child and just on special occasions.
If we had been allowed to stay with
her any time we wished to, I sus-
pect the visits would have lost some
of their magical effect on us.
Grandma's gift for storytelling
was her most admirable trait, from
our point of view. And such stor-
les she told. All true, too, for
Grandma came from good honest
Scotch Irish stock and had a family
history 200 years old. She firmly
believed that the truth shouldn't be
handled lightly and she had no in
tentions of putting a faint on that
family history by t~incturing her
tales just to impress her grandchil-
dren.

JalopY Enthusiast

In later years when my brother
was preparing for college he and
Grandma would go for long rides in
his jalopy, which was topless and
lacked almost everything except
decorations. 1t had neat white dots
around the doors instructing the
prospective joy riders to "open on
dotted lines" Similar witticism en-
tirely covered the rest of the body.
They would go bouncing down the
highway just as fast as the old a
could go, with Grandma's snow
white hair (Which she had had
"bobbed") flying wildly in the wind.
I always had the unpleasant feeling
that some time Grandma would go
flying out into the sagebrush on
some sharp corner.
During the last years of her life
Grandma was an invalid but she
never lost that shining light of hap
piness and hope and faith.
I believe she had the greatest ca
pacity for living life at its fullest Of
anyone I ever knew.

of stove fuel, it has almost
doubled in price in the last few
years. And coal has gone up
quite a lot also. So that is one
reason some are kicking about
