Proper Frames Are Needed to Set Off Pictures
By GLADYS Miller
(Secretary, New York Chapter, American
Institute of Decorators)

tsecretary, New York Chapter, American
Institute of Decorators)
The art of picture framing is
becoming a fascinating study.
Many artists insist on framing
each picture to be sure that the
first time an outsider sees it he
will view the picture as intended.
Frames also are used to drama
tize, protect and display other
objects besides pictures. Fine old
or decorative new plates may be
set on rich velvet and framed.
Decorative bits of ivory, bronze,
porcelain attractively grouped
against a suitable background,
securely anchored, may also be
framed.
Sometimes these are covered
with glass to protect them and
this also makes housework easier.
Added Emphasis.
Small pictures and pictures with
the emphasis on perspective often
are framed with deep shadow box
frames to give them added en-
phasis. Prints, water colors and
etchings are generally matted and
framed with narrow frames.
Sometimes more than one mat is
used to pick up and intensity a
color in the print.
If you have a picture you love
but find too small for the space
you can use it with a group of
pictures. To achieve a decorative
pattern that is pleasing, lay the
group out on the floor in front
Of the space in which you wish
to hang it. You can quickly see
how the group will appear.
II q wall space needs only one
picture and it is too small, frame
1t within a more important frame
or hang it on a large piece of
plywood the proper size, covered
in an attractively colored felt or
velvet. The choice depends on

the style of your home, whether
it be casual or formal.
If tastes in art are uniformed
or amateur and you are earnestly
trying to learn, frame your pic

productions in the current maya

Mechanical Turn Signals
Changes on Trucks Ordered

The Commissioners have ap-
proved a change in traflc regu-
Ilations requiring mechanical turn
signals on trucks. The require

Iers at a public hearing on April 30.
The change will make the signals
mandatory when the extreme out

Is more than two feet from the

1t was approved on motion of
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue

not vote.
The proposal was indorsed by
Bernard M. Levy, chairman of

Let Mccarthy Cross-Exonnine
Senate Investigating Committee Should Follow
Suggestion Of American Civil Liberties Union

The American Civil Liberties
Union urges that Senator Joseph
Mccarthy be granted the right
to croSs-eXamine witnesses who
testify against him in hearings
on the resolution offered by Sem
ator William Benton calling for
his custer from the Senate.
Mccarthy was denied this right
Or privilege, whichever it may
be-by the subcommittee of the
Senate Rules Committee which
gave Benton a preliminary hear
ing on his case against Nc
Carthy. SENATOR Mccarthy cited
that as his reason for not ap-
pearing before the subcommittee
to reply to the charges, although
invited to do so.
Further public hearings are
likely. The subcommittee
agreed that the Benton charges
warranted an investigation
and members of its staff are
now checking the evidence he
offered. On their report, due
November l, the subcommittee
will decide whether to recon-
mend to the Rules Committee
a full dress hearing.
If that is the recommended
ton, the subcommittee should
give serious consideration to
the proposal of the American
Civil Liberties Union. This Or
ganization represents most
everything in our national life
that Senator Mccarthy does
not. 1t stands for the opposite
of McCarthyism. Year in and
year out it battles for the rights
of the individual citizen under
the law, defending those who
might otherwise be defenseless.
Senator Mccarthy, of course.
is not exactly defenseless. AS
long as he is in the Senate he
will have that forum for his
shameless and irresponsible at
tacks on citizens who are truly
defenseless. Even so, the ACLU
believes he has a full right to
cross-eXamine his accuserS.
That, said Patrick Murphy
Malin, ACLU executive director,

Gillette, subcommittee chair

ported to have told his superiors

kind of thinking was reflected
in statements made during the
investigation of Macarthur
custer that the strategy i'm
posed on him by Washington
to punish the enemy by killing
men in vast numbers was logi-
cal and less likely to start an
other worldwide conf1agration.
The kill strategy" has not
paid the dividends expected by
Washington, however. Gen.
Ridgway, less spectacular COM
mander than Macarthur, but
equally realistic and stubborn,
is said to be on record with
the same military views as his
predecessor-not publicly but
through the usual chain of COM
mand. He, too. has definitely
said that it is impossible to
win on the defensive.

Constantine Brown:

Our defensive position in Ko-
rea has improved since the AL
lied forces succeeded in taking
Heartbreak Ridge. But the
misgivings caused the high
command by the growing con-
centration of the enemy's man
power and flrepower have not
lessened.
According to some reports,
Gen. Matthew Ridgway pointed
out to the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Omar
Bradley. during the latter's visit
to Japan and Korea that our
past strategy of merely con-
tanning the Reds cannot pos
sibly bring a solution in the
present expedition to punish
the aggresSor.
The important but still very
local victory at Heartbreak
Ridge was very costly to the
Allied forces. They suffered
some 5000 casualties-most of
them American soldiers. We
will gain further similar sue
cesSeS provided the Reds do not
launch an avalanche of troops
against us. Then, we can only
hope to resist them without de-
Stroying their fighting poten-
tial. Gen. RidgWay is said to
have insisted that a stalemate,
as we have had since last year,
means a United Nations defeat
and, if the present vague con-
verSations for an armistice
don't progress. nothing but an.
all-out offensive with gloves
of can secure a final decision.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
apparently was inspired by the
reports of Gen. RidgWay's mis-
glvlngS when he suggested last
Wednesday that We should use
small atomic arms to terminate
the Korean conflict if the enemy
is unwilling to sign an armistice
in good faith. There is similar
feeling among the armed forces
in the Far East that we had

and probs bly, not brief. But
they might go far toward re-
vealing McCarthyism for what
it is and that would be net

A greater gain would lie in
the setting of a precedent that

citizens are having their repu-
tatlonS smirched these days by
reckless allegations of witnesses
enjoying the protection of con-
gressional immunity. Many
have been denied the right to
reply in open hearing. None
has been permitted to pin an
accuser down through cross
examination.
A reform in this matter is
overdue. Why not let it begin
with the case of Mccarthy? It
should be done and-come to
