Repair Rugs at Home
Saws Extension Specialist

Rugs can often be mended right
at home says Miss Louise R. Whit
comb, home management specialist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. One of the easier
rug repair jobs is rebinding the
edges.
Rugs need repairing when old
binding becomes worn or when
"serged" edges begin to fray. A
serged edge is machine made and
resembles buttonhole finish. Bind
ing is also necessary when rug
is cut down to get rid of bare spots
or to make smaller rugs.
Tools needed for the binding job
include strong, sharp shears, a
sharp knife or a protected razor
blade. Big darning or embroidery

NEW BARRIER
AT RACEWAY
Now Being Used at Harness
Meet at Kent and
Sussex Raceway
WING SPREAD IS FEET

Fans are in for a rare treat when
Dale Fetrow, starting judge at the
current harness meet at the Kent
and Sussex Raceway, introduces
mis- new starting barrier. From all
reports, this is the most modern
piece of equipment of its kind. Gus
tom built at cost of S35, 900, it is
mounted on a special Cadillac
chassis and designed by one of the
country's best known engineers.
This barrier has every conceiv-
able safety device and was design
ed with the drivers and horses who
follow it in mind.
The wings are made of four-inch
in diameter chrom-molybdenum
steel with a total wing spread of
rs feet. The gates are operated hy-
draulically and have a 14,500-
pound thrust that folds the arms
in three seconds. 1t is so construct
ed that if for any reason the n.y.
draulic system should fail, mech
Ianical device automatically takes
over the operation.
The chassis has a 175-inch wheel
base and is powered by Cadillac
Supercharged motor with special
gear ratios in the rear end and ny
dramatic transmission.
The tires are of special racing
type tread with lifeguard tubes.
The unit has its own watering sys-
tenn for dust control and cinder
tanks for use on muddy tracks.
The public address system is in
stalled so that the starter talks to
the drivers without the sound
blasting in the ears of the horses.
The arms are so strong that they
will take a thousand pound thrust
at the extreme outside ends and
they can be controlled to stop or
start at any position in their 90
degree radius. 1t is painted enamel
white and finished and trimmed
with red leather.
If you are interested in modern
design and want to see the latest
in starting equipment, attend the
races Friday, May 12, and for the
balance of Harrington's 20-night
meet.

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear said recently that pass
age of an increased postal rate
bill would probably eliminate the
necessity for reduced mail deliv-
cries. Commenting on a letter he
received from Wilmington resi-
dent protesting the cut-back in
mail service, Senator Frear said
that the Post Office Department
must operate within it's budget al

already extensive deficit.
On other Congressional matters,
Senator Frear announced that he
would vote for the pending Foreign
Aid Bill, but expressed the hope
that substantial reduction can be
made in the amount of money
which is authorized under the legis-
lation. Senator Frear also announc-

Spain under the Export-Import
Bank, but said he did not feel that
Spain should receive the same ben.

do the Western democracies who
were our allies during the war.

In vetoing the bill to give the
widow permanent residence, the Pre-
sident wrote
while favor the elimination OF
racial restrictions upon immigration,
the aliens case is similar to that of
many other aliens who desire to en-
ter this country for permanent re-

cause of the restrictions imposed I'M

Her case does not present any impel-

Two weeks ago, the President
signed a private bill admitting a
japanese widow to permanent resi-
dence. In her case, however, all oil

Action on Walter Bill
Senator Lucas Requests Opportunity
To Study Naturalization Measure

WASHINGTON. d. C. Aug 10
(ADC) - A technical parliamentary
maneuver is temporarily preventing
the Walter Resolution from going to
the President for his signature.
Although the resolution as report
ed out of a joint House-Senate con-
ference committee was passed by
both Houses last Tuesday. a Subse-
quent motion by Senate Majority
Leader Lucas is blocking the mea-
sure from leaving the Senate. ac-
cording to Mike Masaoka, national
JACL Discrimination Commit
tee legislative director
This is what has happened to the
measure which would eliminate race
in naturalization ana. for the first
time in history, make all legal immi-
grants eligible for naturalization.
The conference committee Tuesday
completed action on compromise
report on differing versions of the
measure as passed by both Houses.
The report the committee issued re-
stored the original provisions of the
resolution, namely granting all legal
immigrants, regardless of race or
when they entered the United States,
the right to apply for naturalization.
In addition, the committee report
contained four major security pro-
visions dealing with aliens by re-
defining the position of subver-
sives, especially Communists, seek
ing naturalization. It also requires
the Attorney General to issue new
subversive lists at least once each
year.
Sen Pat McCarran, Cd, New
asked unanimous consent in the Sen
ate for consideration of the report.
The Senate promptly approved it.

received unanimous approval.
Towards the close Of the day, Sen.
Lucas. who had been absent from the
senate chambers earlier, moved that
he Senate reconsider the vote by
which the Senate earlier today ag-
reed to the conference report"
He said he was not present when
he conference report was submitted,

10 examine it,"
In Senatorial parlanee, the motion
was entered but not acted upon.
This means in effect simply.
While the Senate has passed the
resolution there still is before IL
motion to reconsider that action.
Until this motion is either with
drawn or voted upon. no further
action can he taken. Thus, the nat

Congress but cannot go to the
President until the Senate dispOses
of Senator Lucas motion to re-
consider.
Sen. Lucas told the Senate last
Tuesday he was not necessarily go
ing to object to the conference re-
port but I should like to have an
opportunity to study it because the
report is contrary to the measure I
introduced" This later phrase pro-
badly was in reference to the fact
Sen. Lucas first asked the Senate
to take action on the Walter Reso-
luton after the measure originally
passed the House last year,
In the report Sen. Lucas con-
tinued apparently three or four
pages of additional language have
been added, making the form of the
joint resolution entirely different
by the Senate.

An C-sponsored measure, 1t was
introduced by Sen. Pat McCarran

Mike Masaoka, national JACI

was happy that Congress has ap-
proved the bill. 1 know II will mean
a great deal to many GIs and vet

Immediately affected by the bill
will be some 700 Japanese wives and
minor children of American citizens,
still in Japan.
Walter M. Besterman, clerk of the
House Subcommittee on immigration
and Naturalization, said the bill
covers existing marriages and those
which may take place up to six
months after the President signs
the measure. He said it does not
cover fiancees, proxy marriages or
step children.

JAPAN EXTENDS
FARMING LAND
DISPOSAL DATE

AS previously published in the
newspapers. the Japanese govern
ment had decided to extend until
November 20 of this year the dead
line for the cancellation of govern
mental purchase and resale Of land
owned by japanese residents abroad
and by those of dual citizenship
whose citizenship status we're not
clear-cut".
However, a memorandum was Is
sued by the Supreme Commander for
the Allied Forces, dated July %,
authorizing the Japanese govern
ment to dispose of lands In cases
where the owner is registered in
Japan as a Japanese national and
has failed to submit adequate proof
that he does not possess Japanese
nationality.
Thus the japanese government has
decided to purchase and resell land
of those failing to submit proper
requests along with proof regarding
their citizenship status by November
20.
No further extensions will be gran
ted after November 20, and proofs
submitted after that date will not be
recognized. 1t is thereby urged that
requests for restraining the govern
ment from purchase and resale of
their lands be submitted without
fail to the Minister of Agriculture
and Forestry by November 20.
