the enemy and which the people administer"
 Is not China governed by one party, the Communist Party, to- day? Who were the writers of this NEG. script fooling-and at whose expense? Who paid for it? Was it beamed to our troops at government expense? Did it make for better cooperation between Nationalist China, with which we were dealing, and our own officials there?
 NOW, I want to be sure that you get the significance of the next paragraph It is the statement of the announcer at the end of "The Pacific Story:
 Announcer: Important in the coming operations on the main land of Asia are the sixty million Chinese Communists. To tell the significance of these people in the complex political situation in the Pacific. the National Broadcasting Company presents message from Agnes Smedley, noted traveller and author of The Battle Hymn of China" who visited and studied the Chinese Communists. Miss Smedley's message:
 Smedley's Talk: Exactly six minutes)
 Do you know who Agnes Smed- ley is? She is the one American who long before the war and through the whole of it was most closely associated with the public relations of the Chinese Commit hist Party. She was their spokes- man. @
 The Pacific Story" ran from July II, 1943, to January 26, 1947. Gome ended with a commentator, such as Owen Lattimore, Henry Luce, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur and others. Some were straight drama. They were written and directed by Arnold Marquis. I don't know who he is. Owen Lattimore was origin ally in charge of the research for the preparation of this material.
 Lattimore was the commentator from the start until the broadcast of October 3, 1943, when different individuals were assigned as com- mentators After November 21, 1946, the use of the commentator was dropped, except, so far as can find in the scripts, January 6, 1946, when Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, President of the University of California, appeared as com mentator.
 am not going to give mere ex- cerpts from these broadcasts, wish ing to use this space for other matters. But I do suggest that it would be sound for Senator Tyd- ing's committee or Senator John sons committee or anyone ln Con- gress who is studious to read through the entire series of 181 breakfasts to see precisely what was being sent to Pacific coun- tries as American propaganda. It is worth noting how cleverly each broadcast is packed with the straight Communist material and it would be interesting to compare the final product with the source material.
 Who arranged for these broad casts? Who was responsible for them? Who paid for them?
 A casual glance will not reveal the truth. This needs thorough, complete, careful study-if we are not to do that sort Of thing again.

for borrowing. The appropriations, however, given by the Legislature
 have not nor can they be reduced. might add, that the appropria-
 tions for welfare appear to be more
 than adequate to meet all expenses
 allowed under the present law You are also informed that all
 refunds to the schools have been made. These payments too were slow, hence an additional reason
 for borrowing.
 You can see, now, I hope, that the reason to borrow was not a selfish reason.
 The Administrators of the Ter
 ritorial Government could have sat
 back and waited for the money to
 come in Git did finally) and let
 everyone in the Territory struggle
 out Of their predicament the best
 they could.
 Your complaint about the taxes sounds as if you don't like taxes. 1 The feeling is mutual and univer- sal among all people. However, the Territorial tax structure isn't bad considering the amount that must be raised to satisfy the wants of all the people Who asked for
 greater old age assistance? Who
 asked for and receives relief in
 times of need for a living, for medicine, fer disqualification, for burial? Who wants their children educated, and do they want their children in fire traps? Who wants to know about business and indus trial possibilities? Who asked for statehood? What do the fishermen want? Who are they that demand proper controls and education of their doctors, dentists, lawyers, food handlers, dairies, protection Of property, roads etc?
 The answer in every case is the people. Now these services are delegated by the people to Gov ernment and as each request IS made and demanded funds are needed to administer this new pro- gram. Hence taxes.
 These taxes were provided 1 through legislation and from es- inmates compiled from the budget requests it was determined that sufficient funds would he derived from the tax laws now on the books to finance all programs. But what happened?
 An injunction against the tax collector to prevent collection of the income tax. Many concerns not connected with the seamen in any way, withheld their payment to the Government pending the outcome of this case. The Gov ernment of course was denied the use of these funds because inoi- viduals decided to take the law into their own hands and withhold ravnent even though they were not a party to the injunction.
 could so en, but to sum It up The public want and need certain things that must be paid by tax ation and any hindrance to tA9 tax collections will of course jeo- -.,lsue ell t,roorarpc
 In the future it would be ap- preciated if you would ask for specific information before jump ing to conclusions. I am certain you would rather give true infer nation to your readers rather than opinions that are subject to arl- biguity and misconception.
 Incidentally, I am not connected with the collectors cffice but am with the office of the Auditor of Alaska.

Closing Attic Vents.
Question:: I've bought a home
which has a large unfinished at
tic. This attic contains two large
air vents at each end of the house
The attic is passable through a
trap door. My question is, would
it be well to close these vents
with boards during the winter
season only?
Answer: In many houses there
is condensation in the attic, as
well as in other parts Of the
house. Vents are put in an attic
to carry of dampness to the out
side of the house. With no venti-
lation the attic might become
very damp and probably smelly" 4"
If there is insulation in the at
tic floor, then by all means keep
the vents open. If you notice a
cold draft coming down from
around the trap door. you could
have it weatherstripped. For an
experiment, you could follow your
idea and cover the vents in such
a way that they could be uncov-
cred again quickly at the first
sign Of condensation on the at
tic roof boards or walls.

dered whiting, hydrated lime, or
other absorbing powder to form a
paste, and spread on the stain in
a thick coat. When it is dry, re-
place with fresh paste or moisten
with the remaining liquid. A week
or more may be required for the
complete removal of the stain.
Removing Scotch Tape.
Question: Please advise me how
to remove Scotch tape from a
painted surface without damage
to the finish.
Answer: The solvent is dena-
tured alcohol, and if you apply

Question: We have house with
poured cement foundation. The
cement is crumbling away from
the rocks within the foundation.
How would you suggest we
remedy this condition to obtain
smooth, permanent, noncrum-
bling surface?
| Answer: The walls should be
cleaned with a wire brush to take
off all loose pieces, whitewaSh, etc.
They should then be roughened
by pounding with a cold chisel
or pointed hammer to provide
a surface to which a fresh NOR
tar can cling.
The walls should be soaked with
clear water and then painted with
a mixture of cement and water
of the consistency of cream. Then
without delay, apply two-quarter
inch coatings of dense cement
mortar: l part portland cement
Ito 3 parts of clean building sand,
combined with an integral water
proofing compound. This mortar
is applied with a trowel.
When this mortar begins to set,
the surface must be scratched to
form a bond for the second and
final coat. This is applied in the
same way. To gain full density,
the coating should be kept damp
for at least four days. Hang wet
burlap over it, or keep it wet
down with a sprayer. This sort of
work is usually done by a mason.
Driveway Stained.
Question: Will you please sug-
gest way of cleaning smooth
concrete driveways or sidewalks
which have been stained with milk
from a dropped bottle, and rust
from drained radiator of an
automobile?
Answer: For the milk stains, I
believe you would get best results
with a preparation that is used
at gas stations for the removal of
oil stains from concrete. Some
of these are very good indeed and
take of old. hardened oil.
But you may be able to clean
up the milk stains by simply
scrubbing with a strong, hot solu-
ton of washing soda or trisodium
phosphate (soapless cleaning pow
der) using three pounds to the
gallon of hot water.
Follow by rinsing thoroughly.
Ammonia in hot water should also
be effective. For the rust stains
dissolve / part sodium citrate in
6 parts of water. and add 6 parts
of commercial glycerin. Mix a
portion of this with enough pow
