when Yugoslavia's Communists
were expelled for nationalism anc
other deviations from the Moscow
brand of Marxism- m-Lenninisrn.
Both Bulgaria and Albania have
had recent purges among high
Communist leaders who were
charged with heresies similar to
the accusations leveled against
Tito.
The Yugoslav leader spoke yes
terday at Skoplje before an au-
dience estimated at 100000 by
Yugoslav officials. 1t was the first
time in recent months he appeared
in Macedonia. which has been
subjected to propaganda from
anti-Tito factions urging an in

Promises Assistance.
Tito declared the Bulgarian peo-
pie ultimately would ignore SIAN
ders against Yugoslavia and ex-
tend their fraternal hand to us
and we will help them remove
whatever individuals have so far
put obstacles in the path Of the
creation and preservation of
brotherly relations"
He said this statement also ap-
piled to Albania, Yugoslavia's tiny
neighbor to the south.
Traicho Kostov, former Vice
Premier of Bulgaria and former
member of the central committee
of the Bulgarian Communist Par
ty. was expelled from the party

titude toward the Soviet Union.
At about the same time, former
Deputy Premier Koci xoxe of AL
bania was executed after being
convicted Of treason. xoxe had
been reported siding with Tito in
his quarrel with the Cominform.
Referring to two other Com
munist neighbors of Yugoslavia.
Tito said the Cominform cam
paign against him had unleashed
"chauvinistic passions" in Hun
gary and Romania.
Relations "spoiled."
He said leading Communists in
those countries were quite audi
bly, whispering" that something
could be wrenched from Yugo-
slavia because it was capitalist" "
while their countries were so
cialist."
I'VE tried with the greatest
sacrifices" Toto declared, to
create the closest relations with
the peoples of those countries.
But it was in the interests of some
people to spoil those relations"
He said the Yugoslav people
cannot be shaken nor intimidat-
ed from firmly persisting in their
struggle for the freedom. in
tegrity and independence of their
Socialist homeland"
The occasion for Tito's speech
was the fifth anniversary of the
peoples republic of Macedonia, a
federal state within Yugoslavia.
He has gone to considerable
lengths to assure this part of the
country of equal treatment, but

Answer: AL the plaster should

plaster is not suitable for base
ment walls, which almost invari-
ably have some degree Of damp
ness in them. This dampness

One of the very latest ideas
in small house planning Is the
new three-level house.
At first glance the advantages
Of this design may not be ap-
parent to the average individual,
but everyone who has lived in a
small house knows the great ad-
vantage Of the complete separa-
ton Of living areas and sleeping
areas. They are aware OF the
great privacy such a plan pre-
sents. The three-1evel house does
an excellent job In assuring such
privacy.
All builders know that the ex-
cavation usually required In build
ing q house represents large
item in the cost OF construction.
The three-level house requires
but q small percentage Of the
usual excavation, and still permits
the heating plant to be completely
isolated from the ordinary house
levels, and offers good air space
beneath tho other sections OF the
building.

Aid to Houses
By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: My chimney fills up
with a sand-like gravel and causes
carbon monoxide to fill the house.
1t is over 20 years old and built
of cement blocks. 1t does not need
tuck pointing. I am the only one
using this outlet, and burn oil.
I have a good furnace and oil
burner, but several times during
the. heating season / have to get
q serviceman from the Oil burner
company to come and clean out
the base of the chimney. Would
you advise building a new one. or
what would you suggest? 1t is a
nuisance as it is and dangerous
on account Of the oil odor.
Answer: I advise you to get a
good chimney mason on the job
as soon as you can and let him
handle the case. The job calls
for an experienced workman. Il
Is not for an amateur. It Is my
belief that the cement blocks are
disintegrating or possibly only the
mortar joints. The top Of the
chimney will probably have to
be rebuilt; would not suggest
the whole chimney. for that would
indeed be a major operation.
It is perfectly practical to have
q porcelain enameled steel hue
lining inserted in the chimney;

sibility with your chimney mason.

With the design spotlight fo-|
cused on the home all over the
world, is it any wonder that some
thought has been given to thel
child and his place in the home?
, The American Toy Institute,
research division Of the Toy Manu-
facturers Of the U.S.A., Inc, has
as its consultant Joseph Aronson.
Mr.. Aronson is a famous architect
and furniture designer and author
of two excellent books on interior
decorating. More important. he is
q father and understands the play
habits and home requirements OF
his own children and their friends.
Mr.. Aronson has found eight
common faults in children's rooms.
/. Lack Of broad play area other
than the floor.
2. Lack OF toy storage space
easily accessible to the child.
3. Lack of storage space suited
to varied toy shapes.
4. Lack of climbing facilities.
S. Lack Of hardy play surfaces
that are not harmed by paint,
glue and hard knocks.
6. Failure to give children easy
access to their clothing.
Z. Lack Of storage space for
books Of uneven sizes.
8. Lack Of primary colors which
appeal most to the child.
Revolutionary BuiIt-ins.
To remedy these faults. Mr.
Aronson has created some low-cost
designs of built-ins that are re-
volutionary. He recommends only
materials, finishes and fittings
available everywhere and suited
to the skills Of the home workshop
amateur.
He evolved a chest of drawers
for clothing storage built in the
form Of low steps. This provides
additional play space and satisfies
young children's love Of climbing.
1t makes a stage setting for the
dramatic play. Storage drawers
are In easy reach Of young chill
dren. The full-Iength mirror on
top adds interest to the necessary
juvenile routine Of hair brushing
or braiding.
To meet the children's desire
for the largest possible work
bench-play table, q bench 6 feet
long and 2 feet wide slides against
the wall when not in use. This
work area is designed to do double
duty at a toy storage cabinet.
The top is not easily damaged byI
glue, hammers. knives or paint
and may be easily and cheaply
replaced.
Light Blue Ceiling.
In this play room, Mr.. Aronson
suggests that the ceiling be paint
ed q light blue and the floor and
elevated play areas be covered IN
q freckled red linoleum. The
curtains and bedspreads are sap
phire blue. All holdings and
ornaments have been avoided. |
There are no sharp corners. /
The walls are Of wall board to
which pictures and papers may be |
thumbtacked. Blackboards are
hung at the right height for the |
age group using the room.
For sleeping, Mr.. Aronson sug-
gests q wood floor bunk bed with
q latex mattress IN a zippered
sailcloth cover. This rubber mat
tress supplies the resiliency needed
but Is not too soft.
Look at your children's room
and see If you can, with a little
thought make 1t attractive and
workable and a place where they |
won't be In the way OF the adult.
