Student Government Convention

I
On Monday, May %, as our high
school student government repre-
sentative, I attended the First An
nual Convention of the State Asso-
citation of Student Councils held in
Laurel High School. Registration
started at 1920 am. It was fol-
lowed by a general session at
which the proposed constitution of
the organization was discussed and
adopted. Professor Chase of the
University of Delaware spoke to us
about what student governments
can do and what they should work
for. He explained also what the
student council of the University
had accomplished this past year.
His talk was followed by ques-
tion and answer period. After
lunch in the school cafeteria, we
were entertained by gymnastic
stunts performed by students of
the Laurel High School. The Laur-
ell Senior Band and an ensemble
from the High School Chorus gave
several selections.
The convention was then divided
into discussion groups with such
topics as: What Student Councils
do; Financing of Student Councils;
PRO and Con of the Merit System;
and What is Contained in Good
Handbook.
Following the discussions there
was a banquet held in Laurel Fire
House as climax to very full day.

SOLVE CLOSET PROBLEM

Suggestions for Finding Extra
Space for Building Closets
Where to find closet space in ar
older house is usually a problem
Miss Louise Whitcomb, extension
home management specialist at the
University of Delaware, believes
She has some suggestions for fnd-
ing extra spaces for building
closets.
A good closet for work clothes
could be located at one end of the
back porch. If a bedroom borders
ON the porch, a closet might be
built on the porch and a door cut
through the house wall.
If space under the stairs can be
reached from the side, two closets
may be built, a low one with hooks
easily reached for the children's
coats and wraps and a larger and
higher one for the grown-folk's
wraps.
The stair we'll in some houses
cuts off just the space that would
make an upstairs bedroom closet.
BY placing the bottom of the closet
12 to 18 inches above the room
floor, the space above it can still
be used for garments without in
terring with headroom on the
stairs.
A room that is cut off by slop-
ing roof can have a closet running
back under the overhang. With a
little ingenuity the space can be
used at advantage.
often some unused space at the
end of an upper hall can be cut off
easily for a closet. Sometimes a
hall which cannot be curtailed in
this way is broad enough to have
a shallow wardrobe built length
wise in it. Any closet should be
a little wider than garment hang
er so that a lengthwise rod can be
put in and hangers used with it.
When two adjoining bedrooms
have a sufficiently long partition
between them and one is large
enough to spare about feet along
this partition, another wall can be
built parallel to the original parti-
ton and the intervening space div
ided into two long, shallow closets,
one for each room.
Corner closets are another prac-
tical suggestion for a bedroom. If |
these can be made almost square |
except for a diagonal door across
the corner that projects, they will
take shelves at right angles and
4 garment rod under one shelf.
Closet space may sometimes be
'ound when small bedroom is re-
for a bathroom. A room
10, for example, is at least 8
feet longer than is necessary for
FULL bathroom equipment. This ex-
ira length can be partitioned off to
make a closet.

and Storage Spaces, is available

SYMINCTON SAYS RUSSIA BELIEVES hot
WAR" WITH AMERICANS IS INEVITABLE
WASHINGTON. April 19-(41

s WASHINGTON, April l9.-(A'l.
Air Secretary W. Stuart Sym
Sngton sees the present tension
between the United States and
Soviet Russia because Russia
thinks a hot war is inevitable. He
says the Soviets could deliver an
atomic bomb attack on any part
of the United States. And, he
adds, against such blow the US
now has no defense.
On Monday Syrnington leaves
the Air Force to become ChairA
man of the National Security Re-
sources Board. He says his new
job will be to help develop a
strong defense.
In Washington, officials are
considering the possibility that
there may be new clashes be-
tween Soviet and American planes
in Northern Europe.
They are concerned over the
reasons why the Russians app
parently shot down an. unarmed
US Naval plane in the Baltic
sea. They are wondering if this
means the Soviets are prepared
to try to keep our planes out of
The area entirely. And wonder
ing, also, whether in the event of
a new Soviet blockade of Berlin
the Russians would this time try
TO shoot down planes of a new
8airlift.
The general feeling in Wash
ington is that the Soviet will re-
ject the State Departments note,
which went to Moscow yesterday.
The note demands that the Russ
ians take steps to see that their
pilots make no further attacks
on our planes. And the note says
the United States expects an
apology, and payment, for the
destruction of a US Navy patrol
plane and its crew of ten.
If as expected, Russia rejects
the American note, then there
are several possibilities for new
us moves.

Climb to 100000

The Korean war is now in its
third month. In this time the war
has taken a toll Of more than 100,-
600 killed, wounded or missing on
both sides.
It is a rough estimate, obser-
vers reported, with nothing Off
cial from North Korean sources,
and United States losses are not
up to date.
The estimate was broken down as
follows:
North Korean losses - frontline,
$4,000; killed and wounded by STRAIT
ing and bombing front, 10000;
losses among guerrillas and in sea
actions, 10000; civilians killed or
wounded by long-range bombing at
tacks as announced by North Kor-
can radio at Pyongyang, 1852.
UN losses - American casualties
(unofficials and estimated by sew
eral sources which were not named),
more than 500; South Korean battle
losses, more than 10000; South Kor-
can civilians, but no possible
estimate.

SOVIETS:
A New Trend

A new trend Of thought has eff
fused from the Korean war. It is
based on the assumption that the
struggle now has entered the criti-
cal stage and the battle lines are
fairly well stabilized, and, that the
men in the Kremlin now must know
beyond question that North Korean
forces are doomed to defeat.
The new thought is simply this:
The Communists have decided what
their next major move is to be and
are getting set to make it.
Western diplomats believe tn e
Soviets and their satellites have
three courses open to them at this
point.
First, they may occupy North
Korea in an effort to prevent the
U. S. U. N. forces from crossing
tn e 38th parallel and moving In
close to Manchuria and the Russian
port of Vladivostok.
Second, being confronted with the
prospect of a North Korean de-
feat, they may make an effort to
settle the fighting in some manner
acceptable both to Russia and the
west.
Third, they m ay send armed
forces into the fight on the side of
the North Koreans in open defiance
of the U.N.
Many United States officials be-
lieve the first of the three courses
is the most likely one to be en-
ployed by the Soviets. These Off
cials believe that Russia is still
anxious to avoid moves which might
lead to a general war.
