Change Hit By
Walter White

WASHINGTON. - The resto
ration to the House Rules Com
mittee Of sweeping powers o.
life-or-death over pending iegis-
lation was bitterly denounced
here today by Walter White
executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
This restoration of dicta-
torial power over all legislation
in the Congress TO the hands
Of a dozen men is one OF the
greatest setbacks 10 democ-
racy." the NAAcP executive
secretary said.
III means that those of Us who
are fighting for the enactment
of federal civil rights and social
welfare legislation viii have an
even more bitter struggle on our
hands.
In the first action in the new
House Of Representatives. Re-
publicanS and Southern Demo.
Gratis teamed up to kill the 81
day rule. which curbed the power
of the Rules Committee by pro-
viding that bills bottled up by
that group for twenty-one days
could be called to the floor Of
the House for action
Now. as was the case before
the 2l-day rule was put into eff
feet at the beginning of the 8lst
Congress two years ago, a bill
not released for action by the
Rules Committee can be called
to the floor only by a petition
signed by a majority-2l8 mem
bers-of the House.

By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: Our contractor did a
poor job on our cement floor. In
some spots the concrete is so weak
that by shutting with toes or heels
you slowly loosen the stones and
make the surface rougher than be-
fore. The builder tells me that he
will be over to examine it, but that
was weeks ago. and have yet to
see him. What can I do with the
hoor to make it presentable? There
are about five of these soft con-
crete cement spots, all located in
the rear half of the basement.
Answer: Either the concrete was
poorly mixed with an insufficient
quantity OF cement, or it was
frozen before it had a chance to
set and harden. The only thing
that you can do. is to have the
affected concrete removed and new
concrete put down. It might be
possible that only the surface was
affected. and by wire brushing the
SOFT material you may find denser
substance below. This could then
be filled in with a cement mortar
Paint Removal.
Question: What will remove
paint from woodwork that has
grooves in it? We find it difficult
TO remove paint from the flutings.
Answer: Any type of paint re-
mover can be used to soften the
paint. To remove it from flutings
use coarse steel wool, working it
down deeply into the grooves. :,
Another method is to use a wire
brush having fine flexible wire
briStleS.
Wallpaper Grease Spots.
Question: How can I remove
grease spots from so-called wash
able" wallpaper?
Answer: Make a paste of DOW
oered whiting or FulIer's earth.
mixed to paste consistency with
q noninf1ammable spot remover
such as carbon tetrachloride. AppIy
this paste to the spot one-quarter
inch thick and allow to dry. When
dry, brush off with a soft brush. /
Repeat if necessary.
Black Marks on Floor.
Question: The wheels of my bed
frames leave black marks all over
the floor, even though I have had /

them for over two years. I'd sure
like some information on how to
overcome this.
Answer: This type mark is
pretty difficult to handle. Ball
bearing casters with composition
wheels generally help. They roll
easily and there is much less fric-
ton of the wheel against the floor.
1t will also help to clean the
wheels with wax.

Enraged Lion Kills
Tot at Campo Circus

The -year-old granddaughter
of an animal trainer was clawet
fatally on Tuesday night by an en-.
ragged lion, at Mena, Ark. The liol
was one OF the animals in the Campo
Brothers Circus, the same one that
performed in Oakland on July 18th
this past summer.
The child was Maria de la Luez
who was attacked by the animal when
she entered its cage, apparently
through an unlocked door. The child
was travelling with her grandmother
Mrs. Louisa de Campo, an animal
trainer for the Circus.
The child was treated at the scene
and then ordered removed to hos
pital where she died about 20
minutes later. She was clawed at least
twice by the lion-once on the left
cheek and once at the base of her
skull Those investigating said Maria
apparently had been on familiar terms
with the animals.
The Campo circus was still in the
news this morning. A circus truck had
overturned on a slippery highway and
two leopards, two black bears, one
polar bear and six monkeys had es-
capped to the mountain area of western
Arkansas. One leopard was shot and
killed but the others were still at
large The lion which clawed the lit
tie girl was accounted for in another
cage.
1t will be remembered that one of
the circus polar bears died while the
show was at Oakland this summer.

Truman Signs Bill To
Raise Postal Rates

A bill to abolish the penny post
card and to raise postal rates $117,-
100000 year was signed Tuesday bv
President Truman.
Beginning next January post
cards will cost two cents.
The new law does not change the
three-cent rate for ordinary first
class letters or affect existing air
mail rates.
30 Per Cent Increase
A 10 percent boost in second class
mailing charges for newspapers and
magazines, effective April l. was in
Guided in the boost. The rate will
jump another 10 percent April /, 1858,
and 10 percent April /, 1854, for d
total increase Of 80 percent
There will be an increase from one
cent each to y cents for bulk mail
ing of third class mail, largely cir
culars and advertising, after June
80. The increase in second and third
class mail will not apply to non-profit
religious, educational, scientific, phil
anthl opic, agricultural, labor am vet
Grams organizations.
Special delivery stamps will rise
from 10 to 20 cents beginning Janu-
airy l. Charges for most other special
services will be increased.
The new rates will hardly make a
nick in the postoffice deficit which
has been estimated at $500 million
annually. There is an anticipated 1882
million hike in postal pay annually
$50 million more year in increased
