sation from the judicial branch
of the Government. Whether or
not he would accept appoint
ment as a special prosecutor is
not known at this writing. But
he is familiar enough with the
problem from his 1924 expert
ence and is one of the best
known and respected names in
the American bar.
Other names have been sug-
gested from the Democratic
side, though it is conceded that
the object is not to get men V no
have been active politically but
merely to give assurance to
everybody that the inquiry is bi-
partisan. The President has been
told that the prestige of j. Ed
gar Hoover in the country Is so
high that the mere fact of his
appointment to make a compre-
hensive inquiry is enough to give
assurance to the American peo-
pie that Mr.. Truman is doing
everything within his power to
get at the bottom of the charges
of corruption and the circum-
stances surrounding the forced
designations of officials In the
Treasury Department and the
Justice Department.
1t is political axiom that II
the administration in power acts
with sufficient vigor and pros
ecutes the guilty, the people will
tend to applaud the action and
hence the political effects of
the scandals themselves may be
mitigated. Whether this will or
will not happen in this instance
remains to be seen, but that's
the purpose behind the effort
to set up a non-politica1 and
objective prosecution with the
full backing of the President to
let the chips fall where they
may.

at the earliest possible moment.
Moreover, in view of certain diff
ficulties regarding production
of weapons. it is considered es-
sential that the German facto-
ries be allowed to assume the
manufacture of military equip
ment. The difficulties encoun-
tered on this score are even
greater than those concerning
the creation of new military
units.
The French and the Benelux
countries are worried that any
large concessions to Germany
might create a Frankenstein
monster which would destroy
them. The Germans are willing
to cooperate, not as subordi-
mates, however, but as full part
ners enjoying full sovereignty.
Gen. Eisenhower is said to
feel that the opposition to CIV
ing Germany equality, which
stems principally from Paris,
might be compared with a SINH
lar situation which existed at
the Geneva arms limitation con-
ference in 1882, when Berlin
asked for military equality, in
theory at least. Frances opposi-
tion at that time helped Hitler
come to power. If Prime Minis
ter Konrad Adenauer were to
accept only a partial sover-
eighty for Western Germany he
could be overthrown and nobody
can predict what might happen
then. These problems are seri-
ously menacing the structure Of
the NATO, on which the Ameri-
can people have spent many bill
lions. And Gen. Eisenhower ad-
mitS it will require careful ham
ding to prevent its collapse.

Lowell MeHett:

Looks as II the incredible T.
Lamar Caudle Is finally getting
q break. Some even more In
credible characters have got
into the act. The North Caro-
lima boy who has kept this
town in an uneasy balance
between laughter and tears the
past few weeks has had to
yield part of the spotlight to
some comedians little drier
behind the ears.
There is Mr.. Abraham Teitel-
baum of Chicago. Mr.. Teitel-
baum was attorney for the late
Mr.. Al Capone-or as Mr..
Capone doubtless described him,
his mouthpiece-in the proceed
ings that resulted in Mr..
Capone's release from jail be-
fore he had served his full
term for income tax frauds. 1t
will be remembered that Mr..
Capone never was convicted for
his gangster activities, but for
falling to pay his full income
tax on the financial rewards of
those activities. AS Mr.. Teitel-
baum explains his part in the
legal proceedings. they were
performed without pay, out of
sympathy for Mr.. Capone's
poor old mother.
It happens that Mr.. Teitel-
baum is having some income
tax troubles Of his own, a little
matter of $4,000 in under
payment. as stated by himself,
something more than that as
seen by the Government. A
couple Of weeks ago the papers
in his case were sent to Wash
ington from Chicago for crimi-
nal action. AS Mr.. Capone's
counsel explained it to the
House subcommittee, the whole
thing snacks of a frame-up, al
though he didn't use any such
vulgar language.
Two young fellows, name OF
Nathan and Master, he related,
had been trying for some time
to shake him down for no less
than $500.000. For that sum,
he said. they were prepared to
use their influence with a lot of
influential people in Washing
ton. They named names, or at
least Mr.. Teitelbaum named
names he said they had named.
It made a pretty impressive list
Of men in Government Jobs.
These names are now in the
headlines, thanks to the man

affair. Meantime it cries for

1t cries for action by Truman,

committee.
How much fire there may be
beneath all the smoke there
is no telling, but the smoke
itself should be visible as far
south as Key West. 1t is i'm
portant that the hard-worked
President should get some rest
and important that he have
some freedom to think. But I
believe If I were President I

have no word from Key West
that President Truman is ready
to take drastic action. Few be-
lieve he could bring himself to
oust the cabinet officer in charge
of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
his close friend, John Snyder,
and falling that, they doubt
that any other ranking victims
will be selected. Yet the history
of these affairs in Washington
Is that no matter how stubborn
a President or administration
may be, the dixie finally breaks.
1t may take a little time but
it happens.
1t Is difficult to chart the fu-
ture of the tax hearings. The
subcommittee and counsel pro-
ceed rather prosily. They ap-
pear to lack the drive, the fair,
the finished touch by which
others have made Investigations
famous. That they have worlds
of juicy material to work with
Is obvious; in spite of them the
hearings are engrossing.
The photographers nearly
went crazy until Mr.. Abraham
Teitelbaum of Chicago oblig-
ingly produced the dark haired
vision in sunglasses whom wit
ness Frank Nathan innocently
called Mrs. Teitelbaum all day
though she was sworn In as
Mrs. Shyrl Menkin. Nor has the
subcommittee consented to tele-
vision.

there would be two special
prosecutors who would hold the
title of Special Assistant Attor-
ney General and they would re-
ceive the FBI reports and trans
NIT requests for action to any
grand juries which become part
of the cleanup procedure.
AS it stands today, there
would be no reflection on the
Attorney General If two special
prosecutors were appointed. 1t
is necessary, if they are to have
a free hand, virtually to divorce
them from supervision by the
Attorney General. Technically
they would become part of his
Office but would report to the
President.
1t will be recalled that the
late Harlan F. Stone, who was
Attorney General in the cabinet
of President Coolidge, Repub-
lican, didn't object to the ap-
pointment of special prosecu-
tors-Owen ]. Roberts, Repub-
lican. and former Senator Atlee
Pomerene, Democrat-when a
cleanup OF the Teapot Dome
scandals arising under the Re-
publican Harding administra-
ton was ordered by Mr.. Cool

The name of Mr.. Roberts has
bobbed up again as a prospec-
tive appointee to the two-man
team of prosecutors to be chosen
by President Truman. Mr.. Rob-
ertS resigned from the Supreme
Court of the United States, de-
clining to accept the status of

bring him back to service on the

applause when he said: "Per-
haps the most difficult problem
which now faces the NATO is
to reconcile the defense require
ments Of the North Atlantic
area with the political and eco
nomic capabilities of the coun-
tries concerned"
The question which is said
to be uppermost in Gen. Ell
senhower's mind is whether,
even If Washington agrees to
increase the allowance to the
European allies for economic and
social expenditures. they will
be able in the next IL or 18
months to provide at least 30
battle-ready divisions. Political
men in Paris and London prom
ise that this can be done if
Washington is more liberal
about military funds. Gen.
Eisenhower rs willing to accept
their word, although the past
performances of the same lead
ers are not particularly encour-
aging. His presence in Paris will
make it difficult for them to re-
nege on their word. But this may
not be the case if another man
is given the supreme command
Of the NATO forces.
The second worry, as impor-
tant as financial troubles of the
coalition members, is the ques-
ton Of bringing the Germans
directly and the Spaniards in
directly into the struggle against
a possible Eastern aggression.
Gen. Eisenhower and all his
allied military colleagues are
convinced that there can be no
effective defense of Western Eu-
rope unless a German army at
least 250.000 strong is organized

ServiceabilitY

Serviceability involves three
main points materials used,
construction and color.
Materials. Wool, cotton, rayon,
nylon, jute "a fiber grown in In
dial, fiber Ga special rug material
made from wood pulp of fir or
spruce trees), sisal "a vegetable
fiber grown in tropical countries),
and sea grass, the largest supply
Of which comes from French Indo-
China, are used to make rugs.
Construction. According to the
National Bureau of Standards,
density or thickness of pile is a
major factor in determining the du-
rability of a rug. You can find
the relative density by counting
the number of tufts to the square
inch on the back of a carpet or
rug. Rare Orientals may have
as many as 500 tufts per square
inch. Poor rugs of any weave may
have as low as IS tufts to the
square inch.
All carpets ano rugs, whether
cut pile, loop pile or plain weave.
have warp and welt threads. The
warp threads run lengthwise and
are set or fastened in the loom.
The welt threads, or Filings, run
crosswise through the warp, The
pile yarns or tufts, the threaC
that are stuck up on the rug, are
woven Or intertwined in and help
by the warp and welt threads.
Whether the pile is long or
short, it should be springy to the
touch if the rug OF carpet is made
of wool. Depth of pile varies with
different weaves. Short, dense
pile in certain weaves is more
serviceable than long, sparse pile
in other weaves.
In cut pile rugs, the surface
yarn is of outstanding, straight
ends. Administer, Chenille, Vel
vet and Wiltons are examples of
cut pile weaves. In the loop pile,
of which Brussels and Tapestry
+ examples, the surface yarn is
looped with the ends of the loops
woven into the body of the rug.
The names used as examples are
types of weaves, not brand names.
Color. When buying a rug made
of wool, ask the salesman if the
colors are chrome-fast. Chrome
fast colors are those with a metal

One of the best ways to accom-
plish this is with the following
exercise:
Stand with your feet together
and your hands on your hips.
Slowly squat so that your knees
are wide apart. While in this
position, extend your right leg
forward with the foot held above
the floor. Try to hold this posi-
ton for a few seconds. Then,
bring your foot back to its original
position and rise to standing posi-

extend the left leg forward.
Watch your body line as you
lower yourself. Keep the hips
under, the abdomen in, and the
back straight. This is a real tough
one but worth 10 years off your
