If you are cruising along with
us this week on a mid-winter wa
cation at home" just remember
that fun Is where you find it +.
and so is exercise! Two Of the spe-
cial bonuses of any mid-winter
vacation are the relaxation you
get from fun and the renewed en-
ergy and increased feeling of fit
ness that come from exercise.
So how are you. going TO get
yours? There are whole worlds
of things to do indoors that will
keep your body in trim and ease
up your nervous tension.
Right in your own living room,
cellar, attic or sunporch, you can
set, up a pink-pong table. If you
think this game is a mild, namby-
pamby sport that can't be much
good for what ails you, you have
never seen the movie shots of how
the experts play it. 1t will teach
you to be quick and graceful on
your feet while it Sims your legs
and ankles. You'll have to bring
so much concentration to your
game if you want to be good COM
petition that you'll have to give up
your worries the whole time the
balls in play. You can't ask much
more of any game than that!
The entire field of indoor sports
offers you the same opportunities.
Every one in the family will find a
dart board irresistible. Your little
brother doesn't have to know that
you play for improved posture and
coordination as we'll as for the
dubious pleasure of his company.

GOLDEN WEDDING GIFTS.
Iron, Miss G. G., WaShingtonJ
For Mrs. M. E. F., Chevy Chase:
Who wants suggestions for gifts
for golden wedding celebration?
When my parents celebrated
their golden wedding q few years
ago, only a few very old friends,
relatives and neighbors sent gifts.
Most acceptable were gold-col-
ored flowers in yellow pottery
vases. We received enough to
adorn the whole first floor Of our
home.
Also, glassware edged with
gold band, glass goblets heavy
enough to be used frequently 4,
a glass cheese and cracker dish
edged with.a gold band. Individual
salted nut dishes and individual
salt and peppers of gold over
china. A short browse through
the china and glass department
will yield many suggestions. How
could we exist without the daily
helps from RICH.
(Fron Mrs. v. M, RiuerdaleJ
In reply to a request from
M. E. F. Of Chevy Chase, I once
sent as a golden wedding ami
versary gift. what proved to be
a great success. I gilded a flower
basket with handle, filled it
with golden tulips and decorated
1t with a handsome bow of yellow
satin ribbon and attached a gild-
ed gift card. I do not remember
now how much it cost, but it was

(Fron1 Mrs. J. D., Falls Church,
Removing stain on nylon: One
day I accidently got q pair of
white nylon hose in the chlorox
solution and was amazed how
white they became. So recently,
I soaked a white nylon uniform
that had numerous ink stains
and was quite yellowed. The stains
were removed and it Is much
whittier and apparently has had
no harmful effect on the fabric.
To clean iron skillets: Soak
ing the iron skillets in lye solu-
ton is about the easiest way
have found. If they are badly
coated it may require two or three
days soaking. If you scour them
occasionally while they are soak
ing with a long handled brush
or scratcher 1t will hasten the
cleaning. But they will come out
like new.
Request: Has any one ever sue
cessfully washed a heavy white
satin blouse? The cleaners were
unable to remove stains where
my baby was Ill on my blouse
and cannot wear it as 1t is.
Would surely appreciate any sug-
gestion.

SHOWER HELP?
(Fron1 Mrs. C. H., Silver Spring. }
Now I really do need help and
feel sure RICH can do it. There
are seven young expectant moth
ers in my church circle who are
good friends of mine. We have
always made it policy to give
showers for brides, babies and
people who are leaving our group.
We have given quite a few of
each. It is really problem to
plan a shower that is different.
I never liked to be a copycat
I'm sure I can't give all seven
of these baby showers, but I plan
to give some of them in the next
month or so. VIII some one please
share their ideas for baby show
ers with me? It need not be very
elaborate, but something differ
ent. We have used the stork and
the broken-down carriage ideas

help can get from the RICH

help. Please write to me through

ident will return to private life
after a rest.
There were omens of trouble
even before Mr.. johnson was
sworn in as Defense Secretary be-
fore huge crowd in the Penta-
gon center court on March %,
1949.
The new secretary. who had
been, sitting in with the ailing
James v. Forrestal for several
weeks, let it be known that he
would not tolerate pickering
among the armed services such as
had plagued his predecessor. Uni
fication was to be followed to the
letter and a "few heads will be
knocked together, If necessary" /"
he said on several occasions.
Intervened in Navy Quarrel.
The Navy was in process of con-
structing huge, flush deck super
aircraft carrier of 5000 tons. It
was a project on which the Air
Force, with primary responsible
ity for long-range strategic bomb
ing, had long taken dim view.
It was just another chapter in
the years of wrangling among the
services but, In this case, the new
Defense Secretary stepped in with
such vigor that the very founda-
tions of the naval service rocked.
Mr.. johnson abruptly ordered
that construction Of the $189 mil
lion warship be stopped and the
White House backed him. Navy
Secretary John L, Sullivan re-
signed in angry protest.
AS an aftermath of that action,
the House Armed Services Com
mittee conducted a hearing into
the Air Force B-36 construction
program largely as a result of
Navy charges. The committee
cleared the B-36 but Admiral Louis
E. Denfeld, Chief of Naval Oper-
ations who testified, was ousted
from his post.
But, while Mr.. johnson ap-
peared to favor the Air Force. he
and Mr.. Symington showed signs
of not seeing eye-to-eye on many
matters. When Mr.. Symington
moved on to the Resources Board
Craftsmanship there was uncon-
cealed glee among several of Mr..
Johnson'S encourage.

was dabbling in a foreign policy

take the criticism.
Mr.. johnson said repeatedly
that he has no political am

he moved to West Virginia shortly
after graduating from the Uni
verSity Of Virginia. He Is a sue

and in ClarkSburg.

Legion and was its national com

reStal had been accused OF much
the same thing.
But whereas complaints about
Mr.. Forrestal had never gone
much beyond the cloakroom dis
cussion stage, accusations against
his successor began to come from
members of Congress. Mr.. john
son was repeatedly privately criti-
cal of Mr.. AcheSon.
Mr.. johnson took Office with a
possessive attitude. At the second
of the two news conferences he
has held, he spoke of my chiefs
of staff" instead of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. But with careful
training by Mr.. Early. he i'm
proved In his handling of such
matters and, whereas at first he
literally lectured Congressman, his
latter appearances surprised OBJ
servers. An example was his han
ding of his big economy cut-back
which affected dozens Of congress
sional districts. He called the
members to a big Pentagon meet
ing and explained the necessity
Of such a move and the protests
were mild.
1t should be noted that when
Mr.. johnson was doing his econ
omy work-obviously with the ap-
proval, If not the orders, of the
White House-almost every other
leader was in agreement. Gen
Eisenhower was among those ap-
proving.
Did Fine Job for Democrats.
But congressional critics, ex-
pressing the feelings of their con-
stitutents, claimed a connection
between the cutbacks and the Ko-
rean defeats once American forces
were committed there.
Mr.. johnson denied any such
connection, contending that the
overall combat potential" of the
armed forces was higher when
the Korean war started than at
any time since the World War II
rehabilitation. Apparently. what
he actually meant was that the
overall combat readiness was
greater.
Mr.. JohnSon'S star began to
ascend when the Democratic Ma
tional Committee started to raise
funds for the 1948 presidential
campaign. Mr.. johnson handled
the job so well that the commit
tee ended up with a surplus.
There were other tough prob
lens facing Secretary Johnson
when he received his appointment
some said in payment for the
work he had done for the COM
mittee.
In his early days in the Cabi-
net after heading the Democratic
Finance Committee in 1948, Secre-
tary johnson seemingly was the
fair-haired boy of the admins
tration. He was often in President
Truman's company, and was a
participant in the private get-to-
gethers the President periodically
has with his old Battery D mates.
An honorary member" of the

Under Mr.. Forrestal, a large

put the preparatory work into

after Mr.. Johnson's cohorts at
the recent Chicago convention of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars in
sisted that a resolution demand
ing the defense chiefs custer be
amended to also include Mr.. Ache

Mr.. johnson has Stoutly main
tanned - oftimes bombastically-
that he has trimmed the fat from
the World War II swollen Army,
Navy and Air Force, while his
equally vocal critics have ac-
cused him of using a cleaver on

served to make the criticism even

Geneva, (JTA)-The United
Nations Cancellation Commission
for Palestine this week released
an exchange of correspondence
between itself and the Arab states
and between itself a nd Israel
which led up to its decision to
abandon for the time being at
tempts to bring about direct ne
gotiations on the Palestine issue.
The Commissions failure led it
to call off it's meetings in Geneva
and schedule a new set of talks
in Jerusalem at the beginning of
August. On March 20, 1850, the
Commission made specific pro-
posals for the establishment of
new procedure combining direct
negotiations between Israel and
the Arab states in mixed commit
tees with mediation by members
of the three-nation commission.
The Arabs replied, stating that
their representatives would sit in
on mixed committee sessions if
Israel agreed to deal in advance
with the Palestine Arab refugees.
IsraeTs reply made no requests
for concessions, and agreed in ad-
vance to negotiate peace settle
ment directly with any Arab state
that wished to.
In subsequent replies the Arabs
again indicated that their attitude
had not changed. Transjordan,
however, explained on June 26,
1850, that its refusal to begin di-
rect negotiations was dictated by
its solidarity with the other Arab
states as well as by want of evl-
dence of goodwill on the part of
Israel"
On the basis of these replies
the Commission decided to can
off the meetings here and wait
a while before making new at
tempt at settling the Palestine
war.
