Readers Clearing House
Conducted by BETSY CASWELL
CHILDREN'S BOOKS.


(From Miss P. NJ. F., Washington. J
For Mrs. E. C. H., Arlington
who asked about children's books:
Years ago I used to read and love
the Honey Bunch" series and
always bought them in the book
department of the store on Elev-
enth and F streets.
Whether they are still sold
there, 1 don't know, but you
might inquire. AS for the two series
written by Laura Lee Hope, which
you also mentioned, the only thing
I can suggest is that you try in
vestigating the old secondhand
book stores around Ninth street,
above F street.
They frequently have many
books now out of print, including
most of the children's series.
If all else fails, you might pos
sibly write to the publisher of the
Bunny Brown" books for infor-
nation. You can look in the
"BobbSey Twins" books for the
names of the publishers. and as I
believe they were also written by
Laura Lee Hope and should
therefore have been published by
the same firm.
Some good books which I also
enjoyed very much as a child and
which your child might like, are
the "Oz" books. the "Marjory"
books, and for a 9 or 10 year old,
the Little Colonel series. The
latter just shouldn't be missed;
they are simply wonderful and my
mother says she loved them when
she was a little girl. too!
AS for library books, two excel
lent ones that I recall getting at
the Georgetown branch were: The
Twins" books, each about twins
of a different country, and also
for a slightly older child, the
marvellous English stories by E.
Nesbitt. I only recall one title:

FOAM RUBBER MATTRESSES?
From Mrs. w. N. j., SilUer Spring.
Have any of your readers had
experience with foam rubber mat
tresses? I am contemplating pur-
chasing one, but would appreciate
the comments of any one who may
now own one.
My husband is quite heavy, but
I have heard that foam rubber
mattresses withstand a lot of hard
use. Is there any odor to the rub
Der and are they hot to sleep on?
I certainly enjoy the column
and have found lots of helpful
hints in it.

Fashion Editor,

Fashion cycles are quite exciting
TO those women who watch with
interest the role that fashion plays
not only in their lives but in the
lives of other women and the
fashion scene in general.
Take the great play right now
on the use of artificial flowers to
brighten up outfits. It's been years
and years since flower counters
were as busy as they are today.
The import picture. of course, has
improved, which may also &C
count for some of the popularity.
And then take the revival of
crystal jewelry which we have
been informed occurs every time
q Holy Year is declared. The
actual why" is not stated but it
may have something to do with
the great amounts Of eccleSiaStic
jeWelry one sees at that time.
What crystal jewelry achieves,
however. is not mystery. With
warmer weather approaching, theil
ice-cool look, that is also f1atter-
ing to skin that has been seen and
touched by the sun, is definitely
in their favor.
The saying, Keep something
long enough and it'll come back in
style" is true about crystal beads
today. But today's crystal jewelry
differs from the crystal jewelry of
by-gone eraS in that a lot of it
today is colored, made up in
adjustable neck sizes, and also
differs in that the crystal beads
are often combined with pearls.
Also much of the crystal jewelry
found on jewelry counters now is
not genuine rock crystal. BY
using genuine rock crystal the
price rises almost three times as
much.

Paasikivi Reelected
In Finland, but Reds
Register Strong Gain
BY the Associated Press

HELSINKI. Finland, Jan. 18.-
President Juho Paasikivi, target
of Moscow ire. has won re-elec-
tion, returns from Finland's ma
tional poll showed today, but the
Communists registered a strong
gain.
The Communicated People S
Democrats rolled up a total of
.21.5 per cent of the popular vote
for presidential electors, as
against 19 per cent in the parlia-
mentary elections of 1948. This
placed them second only to the
ruling Social Democrats in in
dividual party strength.
The right-wing Conservatives
also gained sharply, leading OBJ
servers to predict that Premier
Karl-August Fagerholm' govern
ment would be forced to step aside
next March in favor of a coalition.

Congressmen TO Hear
Bradley on H-Bomb,
Most Destructive Yet
BY the Associated Press


Lawmakers concerned about thu
awful possibilities of an "H-bomb'
maybe a thousand times a.
ruinous as an A-bomb-are due tt
get the military's views on it to-
morrow.
Some conservative estimates
rate such a hydrogen bomb as
"only" twice as powerful as the
city-smashing atomic bomb.
Gen. Omar N Bradley, the Ma
tion's top military man, is ex-
pected to testify before the Sen
ate-House Atomic Energy Com
mittee at that time, behind locked
doors.
An undercover quarrel over
what to do about making, or not
making. super-destructive bomb
powered by hydrogen already has
the Capital upset.
The Atomic Committee finds it
self in the middle of the contro-
versy. 1t has asked defense, dip
lomatic and atomic experts to give
their advice. Some experts from
the Atomic Energy Commission
were on it's list for a private ses-
sion this afternoon.
Argument Bitter.
Until now the argument has
gone on in the top-secret levels
Of the administration and Con-
gress. It has now become so bit
ter and the factors involved so
fundamental that some of the
participants are inclined to bring
the row out before the public. The
big. and necessarily long, question
is this:
Should the United States en-
bark on the making of a new
weapon which could kill many
times the $4,000 who died when
relatively old and inferior atomic
bomb was dropped on Hiroshima,
and perhaps destroy everything
living or standing on hundreds
of square miles of land?,
From this stems whole series
of questions:
l. Does Russia's swift progress
in the atomic bomb race justify
the venture of an H-bomb to beat
the Soviets to the draw?
2. Or should Moscow again be
offered chance to agree on in
ternational atomic control before
the American decision to manu-
facture the new bomb is made?
Morality Questioned.
8. Would the bomb, because of
the fantastic deadliness and scope
of destruction. be internationally
moral? Some scientists are re-
ported reluctant to give a hand to
making the new weapon.
4. In wartime, how much of a
drain would the manufacture be
on the Nations material and
manpoWer? How much would it
cost?
S. Can a hydrogen bomb be
made and exploded?
Gen. Bradley, as chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is ex-
pected to give the military's views
on such an instrument.
From a military standpoint, a
primary value of the H-bomb
would be it's intense blast effect.
making dust of everything within
range.
Disadvantages Noted.
A super-bomb still would have
military disadvantages. It's enor-
nous zone of destruction would
make it an unlikely weapon to be
used against enemy troops in the
field. The blast might kill friend
ly forces within the zone. It
could so wreck an area as to make
advance through it impossible.
The same huge zone of blast,
radiation and heat would pose
problems for the aircraft deliver
ing the bomb. The three B-29s
which up to now have dropped
conventional atomic bombs have
succeeded in getting out of the
damage area before the explosion
but each of them felt the shock

Sues Wife For Divorce
Adultery Claimed

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Charging that his wife had OBJ
tanned a fraudulent divorce in the
Circuit Court of Alexandria, Vir-
ginia, Ira Pope Crawley, 403 r.
wing street northwest, filed suit
in the District Court here last
Wednesday for an absolute di-
vorce from Mrs. Antoinette Mae
Crawley Allen, 1913 Sixteenth
street northwest, on the ground
of adultery.
Crawley named Audrey E. AL
len, with whom Mrs. Crawley
went through a marriage cere-
mony last May 6, as co-respon-
dent. He alleges that his wife and
Allen have been living in adultry
ever since the ceremony.
According to Crawley's COM
plant, filed through Attorney
George E. C. Hayes, his wife filed
for divorce suit in Alexandria
last March 10. At the time the
suit was filed, he alleges, he and
she were living together in Wash
ington and neither one was a res
ident of Virginia.
They entered into a property
settlement last April 3, after
which they separated, he states.
The Alexandria court granted
Mrs. Crawley a divorce on May
1 on the ground that Crawley had
deserted on January 20, 1948, and
awarded her custody of their two
children.
Crawley says the decree pro-
vided that neither he nor she
should marry within four
months from it's date. He is in
formed, he asserts, that, under
the name of Antoinette Maureen
Crawley, she went through GER
emony with Allen on May 6.
Crawley says he is advised that
the divorce is invalid and fraudl-
lent, and that the marriage of
his wife is likewise invalid and
that she and Allen actual are
living in adulterous relationship.
The couple was married in AL
exandria May "a, 1943. They have
two children, Iro Pope, Crawley,
Sd, 7, and Renee Anitra Crawley,
8. Crawley alleges that the child
rem are not with their mother but
are in the custody of her mother,
Mrs. Irene Turner.

CITY-COUNTY
UNITY STUDIED

Interest of the County Super
visors in purchasing the city hall
to relieve the County's crowded
conditions has developed into what
might become far-reachaing
study Of the possibility of consol-
idating various city and county
functions and eliminating duplica-
tions. The Supervisors met infor-
mally with the City Council to
ask if they would consider selling
the city hall ito the County based
on an appraisal of valuation. It
was pointed out that the City has
reached it's bonded debt limit and
will not be able ito issue any more
general obligation bonds for this
or other similar purposes until the
assessed valuation, now made by
the County Assessor, is substan-
TALLY increased. The discussion
then turned to possible consolida-
tions to eliminate duplication and
to effect lasting economies in the
future. AS result a nine-member
joint committee will be named to
make a study of the needs of the
City and County and to determine
where Implications can be elm
mated. The Committee will consist
of three county officials, three city
officials and three representatives
of the public.
