many states where shift in five
per cent Of the vote can swing
the election. Since Taft-Hartley
repeal is not likely to come up
in this session of Congress. il is
possible that FEPC might be the
very issue around which this
shift takes place.
In ITS attempt TO force a vote
on FEPC. the Civil Rights Mobil-
ization performed valuable
service TO those labor and liberal
organizations interested in de-
feating their enemies.
The AFL and CIO who
strongly backed the mobilizs-
ton have achieved political
unity nearly everywhere. and
in 1850 both intend TO make
FEPc a major issue.

2-Cet TO work on time.
3-Cive full days work.

MATURE
THOUGHTS
BY RUTH n. WALKER

Be consistent, What you say
you will do. carry into action
That is. unless your expressed
intention was wrong. Then say.
what said would do is no
longer possible. Bullheadedly stick
10 your first stand regardless OF
consequences. and you can wind
up with a ring in your nose.
Also, not TO change your stand,
and act differently. smacks OF
cowsrdice and hypocrisy
II your stand taken was right.
10 stand firm. is like bracing
your feet against a stone wall
which prevented you from get
ting involved. Then relax in
your firm knowledge that you
cannot be moved, and when
you see Santa Claus. without
his reindeers. doing tumble
off a cliff. thar was not your
particular Santa Claus.
Keep on saying. NO" while
getting committed deeper and
deeper by not knowing how to
act with decision. is pure folly
Yet, to keep out of the way OF
temptation is better than being
rude. After having said No once,
and then once again to make II
emphatic, let the matter lie.
Many times. the not being able
to say NO" and then to stick to
il, is TO be weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting And
il you have been tried out only
in the hope that you would
waken. and you do not remain
self-contained, who is to be able
10 say exactly which one OF you
was after the other one?
II deep in your heart you
know that il Is right you should
say YES" then there is little
need Of persuafion. Also. II
weakening has become a habit.
there Is LITTLE need Of persua-
sion. and such laxiiy OF pur-
pose breeds contempt.
When you have learned how
10 say mo, and stick 10 il, the
steadfastness Of your character,
and the belief that you can be
relied upon, have become assured
by the facts.

How They Voted

Here is how your Congressman voted for a
proposed change in the House procedures which
would return to the House Rules Committee the
pictorial power it once held over all Legislation.
The crucial vote was won by the. Adminstra-

Committee was originally shorn OF its veto over
all bills by the first session of the 8lst Congress
The present liberal rule permits COMMITTEE

Smaller Homes Mean
Couples Must Limit
Mortgage Debt
By D. M. Derwin

In today's real estate market.
many young couples find that of
necessity they must limit them
selves on the amount of mort
gage they wish to shoulder.
Accordingly, they end up buy
ing a house smaller in size than
they originally planned.
Once established in the new
home, the housewife will find
many additional advantages in the
smaller home that she hadn't
realized. Both the husband and
wife will find that if they are
meticulous housekeepers, inside
and outside. they have plenty to
do.
Occasionally, however, the
little lady will feel the smaller
living room limits her natural in
terror decorating urge.
The use of paint in place of
wall paper generally results il,

more spacious Furniture ar
rangement has its effect also. but

100000 Design Contest
Launched by Home Builders

A 100000 home-design con-
test for the Nations architects is
about to be launched by the Ma
tional Association Of Home Build
ers and Architectural Forum, it
was learned today.
Six nationally known building
material firms are contributing for
the best use Of their products.
The top prize winner may earn
as much as SIS, 900 for his design
of an ideal American home.
A panel of three nationally
known architects and two build
ers will serve as judges. They are
now in the process of being Sc
lected.
National and regional winners
will be announced at the home
builders annual convention in
Chicago next January %.
The sponsors are seeking a de-
sign of a three bedroom home of
contemporary design. It must
have 1000 square feet of floor
space and be designed so as to
meet the requirement of the Fed

DR.. Collins, who is as enthusi-

Elmer Cappelmann, Arlington

Slowly but surely the colonial
style of architecture for Wash
ington area business establish
mentS is gaining favor as out
lying business communities take
the leadership.
The idea is not new, although
Its broader acceptance is.
Such architects as Horace w.
Peaslee, for instance, would like
to see the colonial or Georgian
style adopted by Georgetown
businessmen along M street.
"It would round out the pres
ervation of Georgetown" Mr..
Peaslee commented in discus
sion of his favorite subject Of
restoration of old Georgetown.
The movement in the resi-
Dental section of Georgetown
is well advanced, with hardly a
week passing that some old
home is not restored or re-
modelled.
From practical business
standpoint, merchants along M
street would benefit. according
to Mr.. Peaslee's views. Expert
ences of several businessmen
who have built new or remodeled
their places in colonial style
show that business has i'm
proved.
Take the attractive little drug
store at 316 H street NE. Dr..
Thomas F. Collins, Washington
physician and owner of the
100-year-old property, decided
a little over three years ago
that the rundown frame struc-
eture was just the thing for
remodeling into a drugstore.
Armed with some old prints
DR.. Collins turned his problem
over to the architectural firm
of Schreier, Patterson & Wor-
land. They produced a minor
miracle of remodeling and, in
the process, won an award last
spring sponsored by the Wash
ington chapter of the American
Institute of Architects and the
Boards of Trade of Silver Spring,
