| that Negroes have ever taken part
in big way in a senatorial pri-
mary in Florida. Six years ago
the Democratic Party ignored
them-or told them to stay away
from the polls. This year, how
ever, they have been taken into
the party fold-for the primary
elections.
The CIO. strong supporter of
Senator Pepper, has openly
boasted it was putting on a cam
paign to register Negroes so that
they might vote for him-and
charges have been made that large
sums of money were expended to
obtain this new registration. In
deed, it has been charged that
Negroes were paid to register-al-
though this has been vehemently
denied.
This activity among the Ne

called as a key witness in Sen

tee investigation of charges made
by Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin that Communists
had inf1ltrated the State Depart
ment.
He said he did not know and
never had seen Owen baltimore,
who has been described by Sena-
tor Mccarthy as the top Soviet
spy in the country. Browder said
that to the best of his knowledge
Mr.. baltimore had never been a
Communist, but rather he knew
of him as a man of "anti-Com-
munist views of a very definite
character"
Never Understood Custer.
The witness, who told the sub
committee under oath that he
never knew exactly why he was
first removed from the Leadership
and then membership in the Com
munist Party, said not only thai
he did not know of any Com.
munists in the State Department
but he knew of none in any other
branch of the Government.
Browder said that while he was
head Of the party it was not its
policy "to try to convert people
in Government to communism"
I'VE felt that would be foolish
and futile he added.
He was asked by Committee
Counsel Edward P. Morgan wheth.
er he would say so II he knew OF
Communists in the State Depart
ment or any other Government
agency. Mr.. Browder replied that
he would tell the committee if he
knew of any. but he would not
give their names.
Browder Holds to theology.
Browder was asked If he still
was ideologically a Communist
He answered that the term has
become meaningless in the United
States and added that some peo-
pie say the late President Roose-
velt was Communist.
He then said firmly, II have
not changed ideologically in all
of my adult life"
The witness was questioned ex-

played by Communists here ir

5000 BABIES VICTIMS OF
HOME ACCIDENTS
EACH YEAR

Every year more than 5000 in
fants under a year old die from
accidents in the United States
Many of these accidents occur in
the home and might easily have
been prevented.
To save babies from these
common home accidents, Lucille
Pepoon, extension child develop
ment specialist at Ohio State
University, offers these suggest
ions:
Keep the kitchen out-of- bounds
for baby when meals are being
prepared. There are too many
chances for accidents when your
mind is on cooking.
Turn handles of pots and pans
on the stove so toddlers can't
reach them, or adults brush
against them.
Put plugs in any old-fashioned

Madison County
SaIu+ed On WLW

Madison County was saluted on
the first program in a rural-urban
series over WLW Sunday, in
which emcee Roy Battles de-
scribed farms and communities
in the county.
Titled Sunday On The Farm
the half hour program is heard
each Sunday at 1:30 p. m, EST.
The August 6 program was the
first in the series, and Madison
County was the first county
chosen to be described in the
regular county salute to be heard
on the program.
The program features music
by the Swanee River Boys, vo-
calist Ann Ryan, accordianist
Buddy Ross, and folk tunes by the
Pleasant Valley Boys, Rural
Rangers, and Prairie Ramblers on
alternate weeks. Roy Battles,
WLW farm program director, is
emcee of the program.
In paying honor to the southern
central Ohio county, Battles de-
scribed Madison county as a
county of big farms, where farms
average 100 acres apiece, the
biggest being the Orleton farm of
4,SO0 acres the largest in Ohio.
Battles also described Madison
county as having more than its
hogs and corn, and rich black
soil. Battles said, "a fella can
find some mighty fine fishing
spots along Darby and Deer
creeks, or at beautiful Madison
Lakew Scenic spots such as
Temple Mound, and progressive
communities such as London,
Mount Sterling, Lafayette, Plain
City and Midway were described
by Battles on his Sunday visit
to neighbors in Madison County.

Farm Notes

Cut flowers will keep much
longer if an inch of their stems
is cut off each day. They should
also have fresh water daily
Scratches on vanished floors
can be removed by rubbing with
a cloth dampened with linseed oil.
Deep scratches should be sanded.
When packing dresses for
travelling, you can prevent SER
ious wrinkling by covering both
sides of a dress with tissue or
cheesecloth before folding.
When a table has been marked
by a hot dish, the white ring can
usually be removed Put a few
drops of camphorated oil on the
spot let it stand for a few
minutes then polish with a
hot cloth.
A concrete floor should not be
painted until it is at least six
months old. Concrete takes sew
eral months to dry out completely
and paint applied before the
concrete is dry will very likely
peel off.
A few drops of kerosene in
solution of soapy water will re-
move rust from porcelain.
A pinch of salt in starch will
help keep starched clothes from
sticking to the iron.
You can clean soiled white and
pastel felt hats by brushing lightly
with a fine emery board.
