PATCHING DUNGAREES
From Mrs. J. E. p, Washington. J
For Mrs. A. c.: Most material
can be purchased by the yard or
quarter yard. but If you do not
wish to do that you might try do
ing as ! do, using the straps from
the dungarees themselves. Sus-
penders can replace the straps
and the straps when ripped open
make a good bit of material. If
it is not wide enough simply sew
two pieces together. Also, if the
dungarees are the bib style the
bib can be used for patching and
the band sewed up again.

RUBBER PLANT.

From Mrs. E. w., Washington.)
I was amazed to receive 46 re-
plies to my offer of 5-foot rub
ber plant, and would like to ac-
knowledge them through RICH. as
it would be impossible to answer
them indirectly. It was difficult
to choose but I gave the plant to
the person I thought would get
the most enjoyment from it. This
plant was less than a foot tall
when purchased in a 10-cent
store about four years ago for 50
cents. II a person has patience.
she can raise rubber plants with
little effort. Use ordinary soil
with a little Vigoro for repotting
and water when, the soil is thor
oughly aired out. In the winter
time. the plant rests and should
be watered only once a month.
The main thing to watch Is over
watering as it rots the roots.

DIAPER COMMENT.

fFrom Mrs. J. H., WashingtonJ
There are number of firms in
the District as we'll as in other cities
that sell war surplus materials,
consisting Of everything imagina-
bic from paint brushes to mems
under shirts. Here is the $64
question. What did the Army do
with all the thousands of baby
diapers they bought up? I have
never seen or heard OF diapers
being offered for sale at any sur
plus sales. During the war. we
American mothers had to search
the city looking for diapers which
we never found.
MY last baby, a little girl, was
born in 1945. I had my troubles
going from store to store, making
special trips downtown to be told,
sorry. but they are all gone. We
had q few dozen this morning"
This would be about 9:45, the
stores having opened at $3.50.
When finally completed my
layette, the diapers consisted of
one dozen ,birds-eye, left from my
first baby. q half dozen fiannelette
diapers, given me by friend, and
q dozen of the new-fashion gauze
diapers that I paid $3.50 for, and
q dozen flour sacks that I saw at
a sale. Now flour sacks are not
the best material for diapers, yet
I found them far superior to the
sauze diapers.
I would like to pass word OF
advice to mothers who are buying
clothes for their first baby and
have rather a limited budget. Do
not buy gauze diapers regardless
Of what the stores say about them.
They are most expensive to start
with, and then they will not wear.
The dozen that I bought are now
nothing but rags. whereas the
original birds-eye diapers are still
In fair condition after having
been used on two babies and I
am planning to use them for my
next.
The one and only good word
that I can say for gauze diapers
Is the fact that they will dry
very quickly AS far as their
value as a diaper, they afford very
little protection for your clothes
while holding a baby. I never
cared for rubber pants for my
babies, but found that If my
little girl was wearing a gauze
diaper. you took quite chance of
having your clothes ruined. My
old birds-eye diapers, which were
large size go inches by 80 inches)
to start with. were. far more alb
sorbent than the gauze regardless
Of what the clerks in the stores
had to say about them.
My question again, what did the
Army do with all the diapers it
bought up?

JARS FOR CANNING;
CLEANING STUFFED TOYS.

(From Mrs. P. c. ", Wdshinotou.)
Using mayonnaise jars for can
ming. The canning section Of my
cookbook says it is perfectly all
right to use coffee and inayonnaise
jars provided you buy the regular
canning tops to fit. There must
be absolutely no hicks. crack or
sharp edges on the jars or they
won't seal properly.
Cleaning stuffed toys: After two
of my neighbors washed 26 of the
little charmees in two. cycles of an
automatic washer, with not one
casualty, I would surely give up
all ideas of any other way.
Now for requests: With the sea-
son for Jerusalem artichokes COM
ing up, does any one have a recipe
for picking them? Have seen
them only once in Georgia. served
with cocktails.
Also have readers got any rec
.ipes for frozen dough? There Is a
local bakery which sells them by
that name. They are breakfast
sweet rolls and like none other.

Democrats are therefore substantially sat-
isfied with the federalistic character Of the
present constitution, even though they
deplore as strongly as the Social Demo-
Gratis Germany's present disunion, foreign
occupation and alien controls
From present indications, both these
major parties will be strongly represented
in the coming parliament. The uncertain
quantities are the minor parties, some Of
which represent extremist views to right
and left, ranging from thinly disguised
-Nazis to the Communists. 1t should
also be remembered that majority of the
qualified voters are not affiliated with any
party and exhibit a profound lethargy
toward politics. Out of these diverse fac
tors the election result will be determined.

A CoIored American

The statement made by Jackie Robinson
before the House Committee on Un-
American Activities has won acclaim as
an effective reply to the Paul Robson con-
tention that Negroes would not fight for
this country in a war with Russia. 1t was
important, no doubt, to have some such
refutation from q prominent Negro spread
upon the record. But 1t seems to The Star
that the observations of the Brooklyn
Dodgers second baseman were much more
Jackie Robinson.
He made it perfectly clear that his own
brilliant success in major league baseball
has left him with no illusions as to the
handicaps imposed by discrimination
against Negroes and other minority groups.
And he was entirely candid in announcing
his own determination to work for an end
to all racial discrimination. At the same
time, however, he spoke as man who
realizes that true equality is an individual
matter, rather than question of groups
or classes.
He began by saying, and without being
stuffy about it, that he had decided to
appear before the committee against the
dQVICc VI SOIIlc VI 1lS lIIcIlOS UcCduSc 1c
felt that he had q responsibility to do So
That responsibility was to explain the point
of view of the Negro as he sees it, and to
urge the need for better understanding by
white people of the Negro viewpoint.
He conceded that there are Negro Com
munists, and that in event of war they
probably would act like any other Com
munists. But he made the point that
radicalism is also an individual matter,
and that though the Communists may try
to capitalize on the grievances Of the Negro,
this does not mean that the Negro Is more
susceptible to communism than ANY other
group.
In his Judgment, start has been made
| toward equality of opportunity for the
Negro and he thinks progress will continue
to be made. He will do what he can to
assist that progress. but meanwhile hs

Thinks washington Should Do n Well
In Musical Progress ~ Denver
To the Editor Of The Star:
It seems strange to me that the people
Of the District let great opportunities pass
by, particularly in the case OF the National
Symphony Orchestra's board of directors
letting the Nations Capital down by not
accepting DR.. Serge Koussevitzkys Offer
DR.. Koussevitzky is among the great con-
ductors of our time. but his plan or ideal
was more important. The directors were
given the opportunity of making the District
the musical center of our country but they
couldn't see beyond monetary values.
1t seems logical that the Nations Capital
should be the center of cultural activities, as
we'll as governmental agencies, museums and
memorials to our great past. the home of
the President during his term OF Office and
the highest legal tribunal.
In contrast. since the war. Denver. Colo

German Election Campaign

Although crowded OF the front pages
Of our press by the impact OF more ORA
matte foreign news, the election campaign
now In full swing throughout West Ger
many is highly important, not only IN It's
outcome but perhaps even more In the
manner 1t is waged. This will be the f1rst
free election in Germany since Hltler's
coming to power sixteen years ago. The
world is watching to see how Germans will
handle the installment OF political re-
sponsibility vouchsafed them by the west
ern Powers who occupy West Germany
and possess ultimate authority.
This basic fact is, indeed, one OF the
prime determinants of the campaign itself.
The West Germans, though enabled to 60
to the polls and make their unfettered
choice of candidates to a federal parlla-
ment, know that this legislative organ OF
the new Federal Republic of Germany"
has restricted competence in a state that
is not sovereign Furthermore, they are
painfully aware that this regime Is, In
sense, the symbol of that profound cleft
in their nationhood which will not be
healed until West Germany and the Rus
sian zone in the east again possess political
and economic unity. To be sure, few Ger
mans can hope that this election can do
anything immediate to remedy those
fundamental ills, which are not "practical
politics" and thus not concrete campaign
issues. Nevertheless, they will be included
In the campaign oratory, because all candi-
dates must treat them sympathetically IT
they are to gain the favor OF the voters
As the Germans slowly emerge from the
paralysis of utter defeat and collapse, their
aspirations for regained national unity and
an end to foreign occupation and controls
wax ever stronger. This is inevitable. It
remains to be seen whether those aspira-
tions will be kept within the bounds of
practical realism. 1t likewise remains to
be seen how wisely the Western Powers will
regard and handle the resurgence of Ger
man nationalism and its demands.
So far as immediate issues are con-
cerned, they are embodied in the platforms
OF the two leading political parties. These
are the Social Democrats and a coalition
best described as Christian Democrats.
The differences between them are very real.
The Social Democrats are moderate Social
lists closely akin to the British Labor Party.
In order to insure the carrying out OF their
program of naturalization of industry and
thoroughgoing social welfare, they need
a centralized government far exceeding
that provided for in the present Federal
Constitution The Christian Democrats, on
the other hand, are against both economic
specialization and political centralization
They combine 'Iaissez-faire" liberalism In
the economic field with what we would cal
Estates rights"-the federalist tradition
which survived even under the Hohenzol'
lern Empire and went into growing eclipse
under both the Weimar Republic and thu
HitleNan Third Reich" The Christian
