Young Democrats Face
Future Confidently,
Directors Are Told
BY the Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY, July O.
Young Democrats are confident o1
the future, their president said to-
day, while their Republican op-
ponents are "pessimistic."
The official, Roy G. Baker, made
the statement in addressing q
banquet of regional directors OF
the National Young Democrats
He said he had heard reports Of
great pessimism among the Young
Republicans who held their ma
tional convention in Salt Lake City
last week.
Mr.. Baker said young Demo
Gratis are not unmindful of such
realities as the possibility of wal
and economic recession but fee.
they can face such challenges.
The Young Democratic leader
from Sherman, Tex, said there
is no need to fear a depression
because of the essentially SOUND
condition of the country and many
things he claimed the Democratic
Party has done to remedy the
causes of depression. He citeo
creation Of the Securities & .Ex-
change Commission, social secur.
ity programs, and the crusade
against business monopoly as ex.
amples of such Democratic &C.
complishments."
Sees Tide Turning.
Mr.. Baker said he finds feal
among the people as to conse-
quences of atomic warfare. He
urged his listeners to think in
stead Of the potentially construc-
tive aspects of the atom.
On the international scene, Mr.
Baker declared Young Democrats
believe the tide is turning in the
world struggle of free men to re-
strain communistic aggression ano
tyranny. through the efforts OF
our Nation to rebuild a democratic
and stable Europe through the
European recovery program"
The banquet concluded a two
day meeting of the regional direc-
tors. Earlier in the day a FIVE
man convention committee Sc
lected Chattanooga, Tenn, as site
for the convention of the Young
Democratic Clubs of America later
this year.
The convention will be held
sometime between November ID
and December 10. excluding the
Thanksgiving holidays. Exact
time will be arranged at conven-
ience of the host city.
Kansas City Second Choice.
Kansas City was named second
choice and Houston, Tex, third.
The second and third choices will
be called on if Chattanooga is un-
able within 10 days to guarantee

The Southern city was selected
as first choice unanimously only
after delegates from Northern
States-particularly Oregon and
Michigan-demanded oral assur-
ance that Negro delegates would
be allowed to sit with their State
delegations at convention func-
tions.
A resolution to this effect was
withdrawn after Mr.. Baker as
serted most attempts to smooth
over the racial issue actually
caused more trouble because OF
misinterpretation on both sides.

House Transformed
10 Distinctive Home
In Simple Manner
By w. Wordsworth Wood

Most of us are slow to think up
items for home improvement, and
it Is only when we see something
unusually attractive in another
house that we imagine how well 1t
would look in our own.
A short time ago we saw a house
which had been transformed from
an ordinary collection of plain
rooms into a very distinctive
dwelling. In this case. the owner
decided to redecorate the interior
in Old World style, and after
few weeks Of diligent woodworking
he transformed the house from q
plain modern affair into a replica
Of q Swiss or Bohemian home.
The job consisted chiefly OF box
ing the windows with a scalloped
crown and edging. then fitting the
doors with q matching trim. The
actual work involved was far SIM
pier than one might think, as all
the woodwork was cut out of plain
Ike inch finishing strip which
could easily be nailed in place with
light brads.
As the windows Of the house
were all of a standard size. he first
cut and scalloped one head piece
and one side piece; then used these
as . pattern to cut out all the
others.
The doors were done in a cor
responding manner by mailing on
top and bottom and two edgings of
the scalloped border trim.
Much Of the success of this type
Of work comes from the paint job.
In the window work, the edging
was painted a dark color on the
inside edge only. while the face
was painted to match the window
frame. resulting in a deeply re-
cessed look. The doors were re-
painted 50 that the new trim was
approximately the same color as
the door frame, but the recessed
center of the door was several
shades darker. This produced the
effect of a heavy, massive door,
and added to the effect the owner
wanted to achieve.

be raised likewise from SO to so
per cent. At the same time, the
bill would forbide the making OF
combination VA-FHA loans and
thus prevent competition for loans
between the two agencies. which
also resulted in 100 per cent Sc
curity to lending institutions on
such loans.
The bills provisions, as amended
by the House, do not include
authorization for transfer of about
10000 permanent war housing
units to subsidized low-rent use,
which Is one feature Of the Sen
ate bill.

ECONOMIC HIGHLTGHTs

The recent shifts of kew men
within the Soviet government have
stirred up an apparently endless
discussion as to whether this NAV
be the prelude to some dramatic
new tangent in Kremlin policy. The
iron curtain is so opaque that no
one can answer that with gertrude
at this distance. However, the ex-
pertS, after mulling over all the
available facts and gueSses, have
generally come to the conclusion
that changes stem from perfectly
logical reasons, which have a rela-
lively small influence on the rela-
tons OF Russia with the West.
The most important change was
the Supplementing of Molotov with
.Vishlnsky as Foreign Minister. The
easy conclusion was that Molotov
was IN disgrace, and would dis
appear from public life, as Litvinoff
did years ago. But Molotov remains
a member of the Politburo. which
is Infinitely more important than
any cabinet post So it can logic
ally be argued that Stain decided
he could be of more value if kept
at home. It wouldn't surprise the
experts if he was made Premier
before long
The key to the whole business
may be found in conditions with

lite states. Things aren't going as
