Where do you put away"
things in your house?
: Do you have really useful stor-
age space? Or do You have to dig
| things out from the big deep
closets, or from the bottom of
pantry and closet drawers, and
then go through almost an equal
struggle, slowing them away
again?
How much time and energy do

week, every week, contending with
situations like these?
The sad part about II is that you
could get along so much better,
simply by going to some trouble.
once, to end the whole tiresome
/ battle.
One, or two, rightly-planned
closets or cabinets will solve the
whole. problem for you. You may
need only to improve some storage
space you are using right now.
First of all, what can you get
rid of? How long have you taken
up useful, handy space with ket.
tie or some piece of equipment you
don't use once in three months?
Transfer ii to some out-of-the-way
location. 1t will be far less trouble
to go after it when you need it,
than it is now to push il out of
your way, or to have it on a shelf
now where something a great deal
more useful ought to be kept.
So,--away with all such, to a
coy, hidden nook OF their own.
Now you have left the good,
useful things for which you have
quite steady need. Where should
they be kept? Well, where are
they used? Kitchen ware. quite
naturally, should be stored in the
kitchen. or, If there is not enough
space there for all, keep the rest
as close by as you can. Study what
you have. Put the least frequently
used pieces on upper shelves. Per-
haps you'll find yourself giving
some away!
Where is the best place for
cleaning equipment? Possibly it
should not go in the kitchen at all.
excepting the things you must
have for the kitchen. cleaning
closet or cabinet may well turn
out to be much better located at
some central spot. This would be
great deal more convenient to
all tho rest of the house.
Here you keep your vacuum
, cleaner and it's various, special
! tools and attachments. You store
| some polishes and wakes here, too.
| Soaps are stored in the bathroom
and the kitchen. Silver polish. the
kitchen. Small gardening tools.
I, picnic paraphernalia, where do
they go? Perhaps in a third cab
met, or in a corner of the garage.
In any case, you can see what
this Encouragement means. You
break up your whole accumula-
ton. You store part of it in one
place, part in another. You try to
| place everything where it will be
easiest and handiest to get out and
use. That central spot is especi-
ally recommended for the vacuum
cleaner. Convenience helps to Gre
ate the vacuum cleaning habit,
which is a pleasant habit because
1t saves time. and exertion and
money. How many habits do?

II anything is certain about what
the writers Of the New Testament
thought, it is certain that when they
thought Of Jesus Christ. they sell
dom, if ever thought Of him as a
baby. The little Jesus is a helpless
child, depending on the care Of his
mother. He is sweet and appealing,
and every one loves him But he
only lies there perpetually smiling.
We like babies, but we have our
grown-up affairs to attend to. We
think babies are cute, but we
take no orders from, we do not try
to be like them. We cuddle them
and talk baby-talk to them, but
when we get ready to talk sense.
when we are in any kind of trouble,
when we need some one to tell US
what to do, we never talk to ba bies.

because he would be a human be-

Apparently he is to be given

ried out.
It is perhaps the biggest test
Of his entire career. For it goes
to the man, not the general.
In all Of this the chief conso-

Democrats Find Lift to Spirit

The general is going to New
York first where the politicians
can either go to him or route
their messages. The truth is
that Gen. Macarthur has a
very shrewd idea Of what the
real sources of power are in this
country; he has kept in touch
with many important people in
business, in industry. in pub
fishing and in public opinion
channels. He knows where to
go for help when he wants it
and he has the makings of his
own brain trust already at hand.
He can be expected to be
very, very nice to everybody
and to decide for himself what
it is best for him to do and
when. The list Of his callers
Immediately upon his arrival
in New York will be extremely
interesting; both who is on it
and who isn't.
In dealing with Gen. Mac
Arthur, the political figure, the
President expects to use the
old-fashioned method of giving
him enough rope. Truman
aides stress that no White House
stone will be put in the gen.
erals way personally but that
the fight will be waged on the
issue with everything they've
got.

President Truman keeps on
denying In his speeches that
there is any appeasement of the
Communists intended but the
fact remains that in the State
Department a plan to do what
really amounts to an appease-
ment Of Communist China is
being Matched.
The first public intimation
that appeasement was in the
wind came. strangely enough,
in a White House release of
a message that was sent by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff on March
90 to Gen. Macarthur. The real
purpose in releasing the message
If it wasn't done accidentally
was to show that Gen. Mac
Arthur jumped the gun, so to
speak. when he broadcast di-
rectly his appeal to the Chinese
Communist military commander
to agree to an armistice.
The stories have been widely
disseminated by administration
supporters that Gen. Macarthur
stole the thunder of the Govern
ment back home by making an
appeal to his opposite military
commander similar to that
which the State Department in
tended to make through the
u. N. and that he followed the
wording closely. It has been
asserted, moreover, that the
policy In question was cleared
with the United Nations and that
Gen. Macarthur spilled the
beans.
There is not a scintilla of
truth in either of these allega-
tions. The message of March
20 is bound to become a historic
document not only because 1t
shows there was no United Ma
tions policy or decision by the
American Government but be-
cause it shows that State De-
partment was telling Gen. Mac
Arthur to deploy his troops in
some sort of confusing military
operation whereby he didn't
advance but yet maintained
contact with the enemy while
the diplomats were to talk for a
few weeks.
Here is the text of that mes
sage:

Constantine Brown:
Experts testimony Awaited
Macarthur Qualified as Authority Not Only
On Asia but on European De fense Plans

Gen. MacArthur's testimony
before the Appropriations and
Armed Services Committees of
both Houses of Congress prom
ises to be one of the most en-
tightening and important events
in Congressional history.
In a short time, perhaps be-
fore the end Of this month, the
administration will present to
Congress its recommendations
for the expenditure of $40 bill
lion for the Marshall Plan and
Mutual Defense Assistance Pro-
gram. Only an insignificant
amount is slated for countries
which do not belong to the
North Atlantic Treaty Drgani-
zation.
Britain and France are said to
have the lions share. Negligible
sums are expected to be pro-
posed for Turkey, which today
Is in a financial crisis because
it has spent a larger portion of
its national income than it could
afford for military preparedness.
There is, of course, nothing
for Spain or any other "out-
siderS" which may have mill
tary forces but lack essential
modern war material.
Heretofore committees of the
House and Senate have heard
experts who strictly co-ordi-
mated their military views with
the political and diplomatic
policies Of the administration.
In all the presentations before
these important committees the
accent in defense against the
Soviet threat has been on West
ern Europe.
The Mediterranean has been
mentioned, but only as an
adjunct Of Western European
defense. The Pacific front has
been treated as a stepchild.
Appropriations for the war in
Korea are not included in the
$40 billion package. They are
coptained in the deficiency ap-
preparations bill for the Defense
Department.
Nor are there any provisions
for modernizing the armament
of Nationalist forces in Formosa.
This, 1t is said, would run
counter to our diplomatic aims
In the Asiatic area and might
disturb the peace plans" Of the
United Nations.
After Gen. Macarthur has
been given his official reception
at a joint meeting of the entire
membership of the House and
Senate. he will be asked to ap-
pear before the committees
whose responsibility it is to
probe into this new vast expendi-
ture for foreign countries.
There are strong indications
at present that the presenta-
tions Of the former Supreme

and also q few miles south OF
the 38th Parallel is to be the
arnistice line. This is supposed
to be our victory" line. When
we gain that line, as Gen. Ridg-
way in his political statement
on March IL said, America and
the United Nations will have
gained q victory"
The rest, 1t seems, is to be
left to diplomacy. Thus is the
Korean Republic to be thrown
to the Communist wolves. Thus
also is the u. N. to accept the
38th Parallel line as all that 1t
ever achieved since last June
against the aggressor even
though the U. N. branded Red
China as an aggreSsor and is
supposed to have resolved at
one time to liberate all Korea.
But the new plan presupposes
that no liberation by military
means can be achieved and that
attainment of the barrier at the
3Sth Parallel is the substitute.
The legal basis for the plan is
that, our military objective"
having been attained. the "po-
litical objective" is a matter for
U. N. determination. The idea
OF an independent, united
Korea" is to be left to diplo-
matte negotiations with Red
China presumably over a long
period OF time. Thus 10000
casualties will have been suf-
fered by the American Govern
ment just to maintain the 38th
Parallel and to admit that the
q. N. could not push the ag-
gressor out of Korea but must
let him stay where he started
from last June-ready, perhaps.
TO Jump across the parallel at
any time. The Red Chinese
have said all foreign troops
must be withdrawn and this
presumably means the Com
munist North Koreans of course
Will remain. That's the ap-
peasement plan. It will of
course be denied that this is
appeasement. But this was
what was planned before Gen.
Macarthur was fired. Maybe it
Will not materialize now because
American public opinion may
prevent 1t from being consum-
mated.

In Tokyo. since the end of the
war, he has kept abreast. through
personal contacts, with the
European situation, which he
believes cannot be divorced from
that of Asia.
Gen. Macarthur commanded
a division in World War I. That
in itself would not make him an
expert. But during his five years
as Army Chief of Staffshe kept
his eyes and ears open. More
over. besides being one of the
ablest field commanders he is
also regarded as one of the keen
est strategists we have had in q
long time. All these facts quail
fy him to express definite views
about the Nations global de-

It is undeniable that we now
are engaged in a global conflict
with a shooting war on our
hands in Asia and potential war
in Europe. This factor, a num-
Der of legislators say, has not
been fully developed at hearings
of responsible committees, which
in the last analysis must decide
where and how the taxpayers
money is spent and how large q
military force America will have

While Gen. Macarthur Is un-
likely to be asked to be specific
about the deployment Of forces,
which in any case are not with.

searching questions will be put
to him in connection with our

the country in his best role-the
man Of absolute personal cour-
age. The many investigations
damaging to the administration
are of the front pages and
away from the adrenalin glands
OF the public for awhile; mean
time constructive results can be
had in these areas. Gen. Mac
Arthur will at best tend to di-
vide the Republican Party and
is bound correspondingly to help
the Democrats close ranks.
Democrats also believe firmly
that they have the best of the
war issue on their side and that
sustained, sober examination of
their course will in the end help
them. They are particularly

The Macarthur affair has re-
prieved the Democrats tempor-
arily from their own defeatism.
It communicated a quality of
excitement to the annual Jeffer-
son-Jackson Day dinner which
transformed it into a passable
political show. The party lead
ers got big hands and the only
ovation exceeding that of Presi-
dent Truman was accorded to
Secretary of State Acheson.
Mr.. Acheson was compelled
to rise and bow twice; with i'm

able to keep any trace of irony
from his smile.
