seventy-eight were filed by indi- viduals and twenty-two by the Commission. The latter were is- sued against discriminatory regu- lations, practices or policies which were in conflict with the law in that they excluded or diScrlminated against a racial, religious eor ma tiona1 group in matters involving employment, although not directed against any specific individual"
 Declaring that application of the lay has been successful, the Com of employers, labor unions and other agencies. Prior to the passage of the law, it is stated, many large employers were hesitant to alter employment policies to admit mi nority workers, not because they were personally opposed to such action, but because they were ap- prehensive of the reaction of their employees and customers.
 Many of these same employers, the Commission stated, have begun to hire minority workers, not be- cause of complaints filed against them or due to coercion and per suasion, but because the law gave them an official support.

Using experience in this state as a practical example of how fair employment practices act can work, the Connecticut Inter-racial Com mission. on Wednesday, submitted to Washington legislators a report of the success which has been achieved here during the two years that Connecticut's fair employment policy has been in effect.
 = Pointing out that the local act has the same purpose and the same basic procedure as that set forth in H. R. 4453 now being considered in the House of Representatives Committee on Education and Labor, the Inter-racial Commission said:
 During the two-year period (the Connecticut FEPC legislation was enacted in May, 1947 = two years ago) approximately one hundred and fifteen formal complaints have been filed with or by the Con1n1is- sion alleging unfair employment practices. In addition, nearly as many informal complaints alleging discrimination in employment have also been investigated.

Norwalk Group Resolution Hits Race Prejudice

NORWALK-Complete rejection of any racial discrimination within the American Association of Uni versity Women was advocated by the Executive Board of the Nor walk Branch Thursday afternoon when the groups executive board voted to support an anti-bias amendment to the national consti- tuition.
 The proposed amendment would require admission of all graduates of approved colleges without re- gard to race or color.
 The Norwalk Branch recorded three votes in favor of the amend ment at a state meeting in Water bury Saturday. The amendment was carried by the Connecticut Federation of AAUW Branches and College Clubs. Delegates to the national biennial convention which is to be held in Seattle in June, were instructed to place Connecti- cut in the affirmative list of states favoring the change. Norwalk dele gates included Dorothy K. Browne, Mrs. P. Arthur Rock and Mrs. Wal ter Hall.
 Proposal of the amendment comes about on the heels of a Su- preme Court ruling which upheld the right of the organizations Washington chapter to discriminate against Negro applicants.
 The national organization re- gently was thwarted when it sought to withdraw the charter of the Washington group on these grounds. The court ruling was based on the omission of stipula- tions in the constitution and by laws that members must be accept ed regardless of race Or creed.

tional AVG conference on housing in the nations capito1.
 Visiting Connecticut legislators, the AVG representatives enphas- ;ized the need of housing and re- ceived the assurances of the Con- gressmen that they would support H-R 40O9 which would provide that housing programs be supervised by state rather than local authorities.
 Dixon told the BULLETIN that Representatives Mcclure, Ribicoff and Lodge expressed themselves in favor of the bill and the AVG de- termination to see the measure through. Other Connecticut repre- sentatives were out of town, how ever, talks with their aides satis- fled the vet group delegates that they were working in the inter- est of the program.
 15O Delegates Attend Some one hundred and fifty dele gates from approximately thirty six states attended the delibera- tions which lasted for two days. Most of the meetings were held at the AVG Clubhouse, 1751 New dampSn1re Avenue.
 Included in the activities was a tour of s1um areas.
 With visible distaste in his voice, Dixon observes:
 "Talk of the condition of Wash ington slums hasn't been exagger- ated. We got pretty comprehen- sive picture of what is needed right in the capitol of our nation"
 Also in the Connecticut AVG delegation were Francis Ryan of Waterbury, George Galt, New Ha- ven, a member of the State Hous- ing Commission, and MT. and Mrs. Joe Balm of the University of Connecticut Chapter of AVG.

Summer
FurS
By Morion Rohi

Lttle summer furs have become
q smart fashion and the scarfs.
capelets and jackets that are worn
during late spring and summer
months deserve good care 50. rs
to preserve their beauty. Here Is
some good advice for the wo-
man who wants to keep her little
furs" looking their best as long
as possible.
/. Fur scarfs should be kept
from rubbing other clothes In
the closet. This is done simply by
driving q nail high up in the
closet, covering with ribbon and
then clasping the fur piece to
1t. This will allow skins to hang
free and loose.
2. Capes. stoles and little jack
cts should always be hung on long
necked hangers with plenty Of air
space around them.
3. There should not be any fric-
ton from other furs.
4. Shake and blow out furs Oft
en-.
S. Long straight-haired furs
should be combed with the grain
of the hair. CUse a clean hair
comb
6. Never apply powder to the
face while wearing furs. The
chemicals will often soil the col
lar or mat the fur, leaving 1t
greasy and gritty.
7. When caught in a summer
shower and furs become wet, they
should be hung to dry where cool
air circulates around them. Never
hang them to dry in the sun, and
rnver air them In the sun.

At a recent gathering for press
radio and decorators We were
introduced TO q new type OF fabric
wall covering. Made Of fabric
with six coats Of paint baked on.
you'u find the rare designs. col
orings and texture are quite
outstanding. This newcomer TO
the field OF decoration Is manu-
factured by Standard Coated
Products Division Of Interehem-
ical Corp. They have utilized all
their talents in making q product
that is. so they claim. pern,a-
nently crack-resistant. perma-
nently washable and permanently
decorative. That Is why IT Is so
very suitable that the beauty and
style Of the patterns and colors
should be on a fabric base which
will resist cracks in plaster. aeci-
dental furniture bumps and from
which soil and SCOT can be washed
with the whisk Of a damp cloth.
Mr.. Joseph B. Platt. an in
dustrial and interior designer. Is
the man responsible for the de-
sign and color development In
this new fabric wall covering.
The line is not extensive, but
still there Is great variety. Scale
and color are leading factors
which give the impression Of
there being countless patterns.
We were told that patterns in
bold scale repeat one full design
every 48 inches. The all-over de-
signs such as q leafy. fernlike
fantasy. are examples Of medium
scale.
The names of the different de-
signs help to give one a mental
picture Of the patterns: jungle
Rhythm. Chinese Floral and Chi
nese Water Gate. In the petite
line there Is Fleurette. Paisley
and Chinese Star. Background
interest is stressed in the Dyed
Oak pattern. which is a wood
grain that appears bleached and
dyed In colors ranging from
pastels to deep tones of green, red
and blackish brown. You'll find
the plain colors. called Authority

Chances are that your hus-

answer to what to serve on

Is there anything which will
whiten pure silk material badly
yellowed from age? I have two

Also is there any one who can
give a recipe for cheese cake like

STICKING PIANO KEYS.
(From Mrs. M. r. M, Alexandria,
For Mrs. L. e. c.. Silver Spring:
There are pieces Of felt covering
the hammer that strike the
strings inside your piano and in
humid weather (Which this area
has plenty of these felts swell.
When one swells until 1t. touches
the next one. that key viii stick.
Even If your house is dry. the
felts can absorb moisture from
the air. II you will try the simple
remedy Of hanging a light bulb
on an extension cord down inside
the piano, and leaving it on for a
couple of days you may solve your
difficulty. Occasionally q felt will
swell permanently and then 1t
may be shaved down with a razor
blade until it no longer hits its
neighbor when the key is struck.
Otherwise. II you will hang q
light bulb inside the piano and
turn 1t on for . day or 20 when
ever we have . humid spell. 1t
should keep the felts dry enough.

cording to Company officials.
Although the inspecting team
from Fort Hayes, composed of
Colonel Harris, Major Chambers,
and Sergeant Ryan, found few
minor deficiencies in the econ
pany records and in the Jack of
specialized personnel they were,
on the whole, pleased with the
company organization. After the
Inspection they gave a short talk
on their findings and gave several
suggestions for Improvement.
One of the principal faults was
the lack of highly trained tank
mechanics. Some of the COM
pany's personnel will undoubted-
ly go to a specialists school this
summer. The officers spent more
than a half-hour outside with the
tank crews and as result they
suggested that the crews be Civ
