For beauty and poise, try this
one: Place one hand In your lap,
palm up the other on the arm
of your chair. Roll that hand over
until it rests on its outside edge

awaiting FILA action. the agency
said.
FHA's investigation was an
nounced in The Star April 8, after
several hundred tenants learned
rents being charged were in ex-
cess Of published FILA ceilings.
Three Justified Grounds.
Thomas c. Barringer, FHA Dis
trict director, said at the time
there was no doubt that a number
of owners were violating FHA's
approved schedules. He said. how
ever. he expected some to have
justification for doing so.
In announcing the rent in
creases today, FILA said they were
justified on three different bases:
/. That certain rents which had
been charged, in violation of
FHA's previously approved sched-
ule. were within the 612 per
cent net return" allowed by the
agency on projects of this type.
2. That other rents which had
been charged, in violation of
FHA's previously-approved sched-
ule, were justified on the basis
that the owner had now submit
ted evidence Of increase in op-
Grating costs over original esti-
mates at time of commitment" |"
8. That still other rents which
had been charged, in violation OF
FHA's previously-ap sched-
ule, were in excess of the amount
FILA would allow but that an in
crease above the previously -ap-
proved level was justified. either
to meet increased costs or to boost
the owners net return to 6l2 per
cent.
New Rent Schedules.
"In these cases." said FILA,
"the new approved rent schedule
is still less than the rents cur
rently being charged; therefore,
the owners have made, or will
make. rent refunds to the ten
ants"

Let the Buyer Beware

a Now that the Department of Justice has won
its victory and the Washington Real Estate Board
Is prohibited by court order from maintaining an
agreed-upon schedule of brokerage commission
fees, it will be interesting to discover, by expert
ence, how the public will benefit.
It may be that some real estate firms and
agents will charge less than the S per cent
commission on deals up to $4,000 that used to
prevail as standard practice, until an agreement
to set such fees was declared unlawful 1t is also
possible that some firms and agents will charge,
as commission, whatever the traffic will bear
One thing is certain: The property owner
who lists property for sale should be careful to
see that the commission he pays is agreed upon
in writing and fully understood as part of the
sales contract. The contract form used to state
that the seller agrees to pay the agent commits
sion as fixed by the schedule adopted by the
Real Estate Board. Such contract forms became
standard in Washington. But now that phrase
has been eliminated It Is against the law. The
amount to be paid as commission is left blank,
to be filled in by negotiation. Be sure to fill it in,
and fill it in only after complete understanding
that from now on the sky may be the limit.

planners" Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,
the board censored the maps, with the comment:
Certain potential targets, while vital to the
defense of the Nation, are not shown on the
maps for security reasons" In spite of these
considerations, the maps have been classified"
to use military terminology. This presumably is
designed to prevent the Russians from learning
about targets which, the board admits, they
already are fdlly informed about.
If vital targets have been deleted from the
maps, all that is left is geographical layout of
each important urban or industrial center, with
circles indicating fringe areas to be included in
civil defense planning. Within these circles
there is to be co-ordinated planning by police,
fire and other emergency services. What military
value such information would be to the Russians
Is yet to be explained. And how 1t is going to
be possible to keep such widely distributed maps
from our potential enemies" who still have free
access to all the target areas affected is q
mystery that also needs clarifying.

The case of the blue parakeet leads to

One of the parakeets is talker, said
to possess vocabulary of 76 words and
such sentences as II love you. do you

Fast flyers, such birds get out when
a door is barely open.

the wing. They are like most creatures
kept indoors. they long more than any
thing else to be outdoors. The great out

animal creation finds it great. It is where
they belong. If we conf1ne animals. for

cannot forget that it is unnatural.
Those who have cage birds take special
precautions, in letting their pets enjoy
the freedom of room or, indeed, the
entire house, but they must do more
than that if they want to make sure
the small ones will not escape. =
They must make check of all out
side openings, and be sure that no one
else in the house leaves an opening. The
only way to achieve this is for each
person to know just where the bird is

Not so long ago, this problem was q

Freedom Crusade

No miracles will be accomplished by the
Crusade for Freedom that has just been launched
here and elsewhere throughout the country. But
the enterprise headed by General Lucius Clay
can contribute Importantly to the effort to
spread truth to the four corners of the world
and keep alive the spirit of liberty in the
hundreds of millions of people who are trapped
now behind the Iron Curtain.
Most of those people, in the secrecy of their
hearts and minds, loathe the thing that oppresses
them-the tyranny of the Red totalitarian
minority that denies them the right to be free
and grinds them down with the instruments of
terror and suppression into a dismal swamp of
police-state regimentation. Here is a kind of
volcano smoldering deep inside with yearnings
and resentments whose potential explosive force
once released-would vaporize the Iron Cur
tain and put quick end to the evil despotism
that poisons the life of all humanity in these
troubled times.
But the oppressed need some hope inspiring
contact with the outside world, and it is in that
respect that the Crusade for Freedom, as
private undertaking with its own radio broad
casts and other efforts, can significantly supple
ment governmental operations of similar kind
In its own fashion, it can help bring on the day
which must surely come-when the enchained

centrate on the wool hat" areas Of
the State. Theoretically. he could con-
fine his activity to an area with pop
ulation even less than the IS per cent in
the 121 small counties. A total Of 103 of
these areas would give 206 unit votes,
enough for victory even though his
opponent held an overwhelming popular
majority.
And carrying the problem further. the
eight largest counties in the State have
a total population of about one million,
but are represented in convention by
only 48 votes. The "a smallest counties
have a combined population of about
100000, yet their total unit vote equals
48-just enough to nullify the effort of
the States largest areas. For every seven
persons who vote against candidate in
the big cities. one vote in these rural
areas can wipe out their effort.
Gov. Lane-who has been an out

How to Win Elections by Losing Them
By Hugh Humphrey

w finally conceded Maryland's Dem
ocratic gubernatorial nomination to
Gov. w. Preston Lane in convention
Monday night, an issue which threatened
to split the State party apparently was
clarified for the politicians. But. to the
average voter. the action still did not
explain fully how candidate In the
Free State could win q primary on q
popular majority, yet fail to become the
party choice for the general election.
There seems to be little doubt that Mr.
Mahoney suffered quite shock when
he discovered that he had polled a popu-
lar majority Of 1880 votes over Gov.
Lane, only to lose. On the other hand,
the Governor himself must have been
taken aback in learning that he had
won denomination through a political
system which had drawn repeated at
tacks from him.
And In this primary-which set q
State precedent in the manner of its
outcome-a great many voters were as
tonished to learn that they share. with
Georgia alone. an oft-criticized electoral
system in party primaries.
In 1916, political attention was
focused on Georgia, where the late Eu-
gene Talmadge. red suspends and all,
defeated Gov. James v. Carmichael for
the Democratic nomination, despite a
14.000-vote minority. Gov. Carmichael
fought the decision into the Supreme
Court. which upheld Mr.. Talmadge and
his States electoral system. However,
Mr.. Talmadge never was inaugurated
for his comeback fourth term since he
died few weeks before he was to have
taken Office.
This type of political operation-win-
ming when most voters want the other
candidate like quite trick, but
the secret isn't legerdemain or mirrors.
It's the so-called unit vote-an electoral
practice originally devised to offset the
domination" Of heavily populated coun-
ties and give the rural areas equal
political power with the cities. While
the Maryland and Georgia systems
have much in common, number of
Georgia's political experts are quick to
admit that the Maryland method does
hit closer to the mark of true repre-
sentation.
In Georgia. the 1910 census showed a
population Of approximately 3.2 million.

unit vote Of 40 was divided to give the
eight largest counties six votes each; the
next 80 counties four votes each: and
the 121 remaining. two each. This dis
tribution resulted in the following
balance"
The 38 largest counties had a COM
bined population of approximately Its
million-55 per cent-but were allotted
only 1853 unit votes about 40 per cent
The remaining 121 counties, with 45
per cent of the population, controlled
so per cent of the political power In

Furnishing the Criminals
ID. b.

Much is being said these days in the
U. N. as to the advisability of the U. N.
armed forces entering~North Korea. How
ever very little if anything is being said
in the U. N. about arresting and punish
ing the war criminals in North Korea
who started this Korean war. Are these
murderous aggressors going to escape
their just punishment-at the end of
a rope?
No one thing the U. N. can do that will
SO affect the future actions of the Krem-
lin gangsters and their satellite puppets
as the prompt and efficient settlement of
this problem.
Once the U. N. makes the world realize
that top-ranking war criminals and ag-
gressors will be surely and justly pun
ished, the desire to conquer and enslave
other nations by the force of arms will
greatly diminish.
It is high time that our delegates to
the U. N. and the American press start
demanding the arrest and proper pun
ishment of the North Korean war ag-
greSSors.
