HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
(From Mrs. G. A. M,
Falls Church.)

, How much I enjoy this section
of The Star. however, let me offer
one word of warning. In the
little household hint it was cor
rectly brought out that only a
rubber scraper should be used in
an electric mixer. 1t is still i'm
portant to keep the scraper away
from the beaters. I just bought a
whole new set because my rubber
scraper got caught and ran
through the beaters.
For the lady who wanted to
know what to do to clean her
shower curtain: I have been using
one plastic curtain for three years
and 1t is as good as new. Soft,
pliable and colorful. No soap
scum. I just put it in my auto
matte washer. I believe any
washer would do the same. Don't
run it through the wringer. Use
a detergent. I use the popular
one in the orange box that begins
with T and ends with E. I get
better results If I have some cloth
in at the same time, as this helps
to rub off any scum after it is
loosened. But don't put much
other than the curtain in at
the time.

LLAMA RUGS;
LEATHER TABLE.
From Mrs. r. H. j., Vienna1

From Mrs. r. H. j., Vienna.l
For Mrs. J. P. S., Washington:
To line llama rugs. stitch cotton
batting as if quilting to heavy
unbleached muslin and hand sew
this to the edges of the rugs.
A llama rug is fragile at it's best
so do not give it too much wear.
The pieces of fur on my rugs
kept tearing apart, so after about
two years I threw them out.
For Mrs. J. F. NJ, Washington:
I use good floor plastic wax
on my Peruvian leather table and
on all wood surfaces too. Nothing
of mine has ever been marred by
sweating glasses or spilled liquids
OF any kind. The leather shop on
Connecticut avenue might pos
sibly know how you could remove
the existing water stains from
your leather table. Word of
warning. if your table is deeply
fooled as mine is. do not use
saddle soap on it. The soap cakes
in the fooled grooves and dries
into an unsightly white.

Dramatic Story Involved In Morse
Heavy Water Use In New Discovery

All of the three samples of
heavy water used in the recent
development of tritium, basic in
gredient of the hydrogen bomb,
came from Norway. The discov-
cry, announced last week by the
Research Institute of Temple Uni
versity, Philadelphia, was made by
two American scientists, DIR. A.
GroOse and DIR. w. K. Libby.
Explaining the method by which
the new element was segregated,
N. Y. Times science reporter Will

of the ships also have radar. Now,
three SandefjOrd whaling COM
panies have decided to install
two-way intercOmmunicatiO sys-
TENS aboard several of their YES
sells. II successful, the three COM
panies will equip all their whaling
ships with twO-way radio.
The new installations will be es-
pecially helpful during the actual
whale hunt, which depends for it's
success on team work and quick
execution Of orders. TWo-way
radios will be placed at the har-
pooner's post in the stem, in the
look-out's barrel atop the mast,
on the captains bridge, and in the
machine room. Orders from the
all-important harpooner will go di-
rectly to the machine room, and
not via the bridge, as in the past,
thus reducing misunderstanding
to a minimum. The harpooner
can now concentrate all his atten-
tion On the elusive whale, speaking
quietly into the microphone, with

Automatic Loading For Narvik Ships

After wartime destruction the
North Norway port of Narvik is
once more shipping millions of tons
of Swedish ore from Kiruna to all
parts of the world. Last year be-
tween eight and nine million tons
were shipped.
Since the shipment of ore start
ed in Narvik SO years ago, the ore
has been transported from Kiruna
in railway trucks to the crushing
plant in Narvik then reloaded to
the railway trucks which tipped
the ore into the ships holds from
the dock. However, this method
has not been satisfactory because
ships could only lie at the dock at
high tide. Now a great jetty has
been built stretching 1000 feet
out to sea, where the water is deep
enough to take ships up to $4,000
tons even at low tide, and the ore
is carried from the crushing plant
to the ships on two transport belts.
Each of the belts can carry 1000
tons of ore an hour, but the work.

ing average is 1900 tons. This
means that at least two 25,O00-ton
vessels can be loaded daily. Weigh
ing of the ore is done automatical-

save much labor, but it is planned
to use the former loading docks
as well if the demand for ore
makes this necessary.

PRODUCTION TO BEGIN AT JUNEAU LUMBER GO.
 PLANT BY APRIL 15

The Juneau Lumber Company mill will be ready to begin produce ton of 3O,OOO to 10000 board feet of lumber per shift by April l5, it was announced today.
 The plant will begin operation with the 60 by 200-foot building ull- finished, according to J. R. Murphy, one of the organizers of the com- pany which purchased the Juneau Spruce Corporation properties Jan uary 27.
 Already most of the equipment has been set up, he said; and slight damage done by high winds to the partially completed main building will not slow up the process ot bringing the new all-electric plant into operation.
 A road will be driven through the charred remains of the Juneau Spruce Corporation mill which burned August, l949, Murphy de- clared. The new plant is being built south of the charred mill, and the road will connect it with the retail yard at the other end of the prop erty.
 The mill will employ 25 men per shift, Murphy said.

NEW AID PROGRAM

Truman Sends Message to Congress on Unem-
 pIoyment Comp.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 6-IR-- President Truman sent to Congress today a message recommending ex- tension of unemployment compen- sation payments to an additional S,O00,00o persons and raising bene- fits by approximately 20 percent.
 MT. Truman sent the message to Washington by courier in the hope 1t can be transmitted to the House before it recesses this afternoon.
 The message calls for legislation spelling out recommendations he made in his State of the Union" budget and economic messages to Congress in January.
 White House officials said the President pleads in the message foc enactment of legislation at this ses- sion since federal law must be sup plemented by state enactments and many legislatures are meeting in 1851.
 The text was not made public here, but Presidential aides told re- porters the five-point program sug- yested would up average payments by 20 percent and extend coverage to employers of from one to seven persons. In many states the laws now apply to employers of eight or more.
 One white House aide said that if the Presidents recommendations had been in effect in 1949, the job less would have received $850, ,000, ,000 more in benefit payments during unemployment periods than they did under current laws.

JAP PLANE FLEW
 OVER SEATTLE IN
 'R, SAYS WRITER

TOKYO, April 6-'R-An Ameri- can Naval historian says that a sub-launched Japanese plane flew over Seattle six months after Pearl Harbor.
 The belated disclosure was made by Samuel Eliot Morrison, assigned to write a 14-volume history of the naval rhases of World War II.
 This submarines plane flew right over Seattle-I think the date was May 28, 1942," Morrison said. It saw little or nothing in the way of unusual activity. It sought to learn if the fleet was to move through Seattle to the Aleutians for strike at Midway"
 Morrison said planes launched by similar undersea craft reconnoiter- ed over Hawaii as long as two years after the start of the war.
 He said Jap subs were fre- quent visitors to the Oregon, Wash ington and California coast dur ing the early days of the war but that in August, 1942, with the US. capture of Guadalcanal, Japanese Army leaders insisted on the re- turn of the subs to supply island OutpOStS.
