All over the country. architects
interior decorators and home
makers are selecting manufac-
tured wood with a pre-decorated
finish for distinctive walls and
ceilings. Made in three basic
shapes of wide panels, planks and
tile forms, this new manufac-
tured wood is made from clean,
new wood separated into individ-
ual f1bres and then formed into
la strong board one-half inch
thick.
This insulating, acoustical, in
terror decorating material is ideal,
whether used in remodeling an
old house or in building a new
one. This one product decorates,
insulates and bushes noise, at one
low cost and with one simple
operation.
The three basic shapes allow
limitless possibilities in design for
both modern and traditional in
teriors. 1t can be applied by it's
own exclusive Clip system. or by
suitable adhesive, or by mailing
over practically any surface. The
ease Of cutting and fitting this
pre-decorated material makes it
ideal for rooms of unusual shape.
With Any Color Scheme.
Designed to go with any color
scheme. it comes pre- finished in a
clean white and In warm, fade
proof colors. For light-giving CELL
ings and crisp-looking rooms a
special treatment is used-a white
that grows whittier with time. Used
on ceiling tiles, planks and panels,
this stay light white reflects 76
per cent of the light received.
The big panels are 4 feet wide,
8 to IL feet in length and fit to-
gether with a distinctive shadow
line joint. Walls and ceilings are
quickly covered and the decorated
room is easy on the budget.
An endless variety of wall and
ceiling patterns are possible with
the plank or tile designs. The
plan, used vertically on walls gives
a Colonial effect, and horizontally

With a fine background and su-

Concrete Paint.
For years people have suffered
disappointment and gone to con-
siderable expense trying to paint
concrete with paint designed for
use on surfaces other than con-
crete. They have found that the
paint didn't do the job because
it contained driers and oils that
won't work on concrete and po-
rous masonry surfaces.
One paint that works excel
lently on concrete was discov-
cred through wartime research.

StrobIe Sane, Must Die
For Staying Girl, 6
BY the Associoied Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-Freo
Strobe is sane and must die fol-
numbering 6-year-old Linda Joyce
Glucoft.
Superior Judge Charles w
Fricke, who ruled him sane yes
terday, will pronounce sentence
next Friday. Under California
law it will have to be death in the
gas chamber because the jury con-
victed him of f1rst-degree mur-
der with no recommendation of
leniency.
Lone uncertainty for the g.
year-old grandfather now is when
he will meet his end. The law
also provides for automatic review
of all death sentences by the State
Supreme Court, which sometimes
takes several months.
Stroble's defense counsel aban-
ooned the attempt to argue his
plea OF insanity as a sixth doctor
submitted a report to the court
nndlng the defendant sane. Pre-
viously. three court-appointed doc
tors and two defense psychiatrists
had ruled Strobe was sane when
he killed little Linda, playmate

In such case, the repeal of the
1916 resolution, which Secretary
of State Acheson now describes
as mistake, may be placed on
the agenda. If so it is sure to
be approved.
MIR. Matthews is said to have
been toying with the idea of be-
coming a diplomatic representa-
Il tive abroad for some time. Close
friends say he wanted at one time
to go to Dublin, but the United
States maintains only legation
in Ireland and there is little like
Ilihood that it will be raised to an
embassy.
Job Soon to Be Open.
Now that the administration
has decided to end its policy of
refusing to send an ambassador to
Madrid-a policy which Sprang
from the Potsdam conference in
1945 and was put into effect in
the United Nations more than a
year later-the job as ambassador
to Spain soon will be open.
There is no lack of candidates
for the position, which not only
is important politically but also
carries a salary of SOS, 900, year
and about $4,000 a year in tax
free allowances.

Ruling TO Bar Penalty
For Berry Will Suit
By the Associated Press

A District Court judge was asked
today to rule that a labor union
cannot penalize a member or
local for going to court to chal-
ienge the parent union.
Henry Fowler, attorney fol-
ousted Local No. l of the AFL's
Printing Pressmen's Union, made
the plea to Judge Matthew F
Mcguire.
The local is seeking an injunc-
ton to force the international
union to revoke its suspension OF
the locals charter. The suspen-
sion took place several months
ago after the local brought a suit
in Tennessee challenging DISPOSE
ton of the estate of the late
George Berry.
Locals Charges Cited.
Mr.. Berry, former Senator from
Tennessee and the Pressmen's
Unions international president
for more than 40 years, was
charged by the local with using
union funds as his own. The
estate is estimated to be worth
$750,O00 or more.

the majority of the members are

health prevents him from accept
ing any such position now, even
if President Truman were to re-
new his offer.
A number of other political
leaders are anxious to obtain the
Madrid assignment, but it is said
in quarters close to Mr.. Matthews
that if he really wants the job
and the White House can be sure
he will be confirmed by the Sen
ate, he has better chance than
his competitors.
Knew Little About Navy.
The Navy Secretary has found
the job of being top sailor" more
glamorous than agreeable. The
fact that he knew little about
naval affairs when he took his
present position is not without
precedent. Few Navy secretaries
ever knew much about their job
when they first assumed that posi-
ton. In the past they have al
ways been satisfied to let the ad-
mirals run the show and to con-
fine their own responsibilities to
acting as "go-betWeen' for the
White House and Congress.
The merger of the armed forces
changed that situation radically
since the armed service secretaries
ceased to be members of the cabi-
net and are subordinate to the De-
fense Secretary. Under these con-
ditions the individual heads of the
three armed services have by
necessity assumed a greater role
in the formulation of the policies
of their branches.
Mr.. Matthews got into hot water
last fall. The abrupt dismissal of
his top service man, Admiral Louis
Denfeld, created a seething con-
dition throughout the Naval SER
vice and at the same time made
him the target of attacks in both
houses of Congress.
Although Mr.. Matthews may
not have been solely responsible
for the manner in which Admiral
Denfeld was dismissed, he has
borne almost alone the brunt Of
the attack for that action. The
job of Navy Secretary has becom.
distasteful to him. The warm.

There are States in which some
teachers are paid less than $40
