Detergent Cleans
Ceiling, Roller Applies
Paint Uniformly
BY D. M. Derwin

Like many an average suburbar =
home-owner, this writer faces the
II months of. the year contem-
plating the various redecoratire
projects that should be done.
And it seems that those that
tend to be more difficult thar
others are put off for a future
time. Unfortunately, last win
ter's future project has a habit
of creeping up so that it must
be done at once and can't be put
off any longer. One of these
projects was the conversion of
a guest room into a nursery.
During the years, the two jobs
he developed strong dislike for,
were washing ceilings and paint
ing them. Last week, on the
hunch that a liquid detergent:
Just recently placed on the mar
ket which excels in cutting dish
washing grease might make wash
ing ceilings easier, he gave it a
try.
Using only a small amount dis
solved in lukewarm water, 1t was
applied to the ceiling with a
well-wrung- -out sponge-an area
of about 18 square feet at time.
This area was left for a couple
of minutes and then rinsed clean
with another sponge dipped il.
luke-Warm water and Wrung al
most dry.
The ceiling cleaned so easily itI
almost seemed too good to be
true. There was no hectic rub
bing or scrubbing, as is encoun-
tered with so many so-called wall
cleaners. The solution is easy
on the hands.
Paint Roller.
One of the primary reasons
that ceiling painting is disliked
by so many is the strain it places
on the painting arm and the neck
of the painter, plus the drippings
that seem to result regardless of
how carefully one paints.
However, the dislike for ceiling
painting was such that this writer
spent several weeks looking for a
tool that promised to make CELL
ing painting as easy as possible
in all ways. Finally he located |
and purchased a precision built |
painting tool or paint roller that
the manufacturer guaranteed
would not drip, would paint two
to three times faster. and which
would leave no lap or brush
marks.
In all his life this writer never
painted ceiling so easily or so
quickly, and all without spilling
one single drop of paint.
The ease with which the ceiling
was painted is really one for the
book. Had the writer had enough
of the various colored paints he
planned to use on all the different
ceilings, it is quite possible that
every ceiling in the house woulo
have been painted that afternoon.

any foreign aid to state depart

But Mccarthy may step aside to
clear the way for a senator to
whom he is indebted for past fav-
ors.
Another outgrowth of Wherry's
death is the need for appointing
a new senate floor leader for the
Republicans. The question threat
ened to bring on a t~ug-of-war be-
tween supporters Of Ohio's senator
Taft and General Dwight D. Eli

But now the post may go to
senator Bridges Of New Hamp-

No such simple solution seems

said, white and shaken.
I backed out of the riot of de-
lirious kids and distract parents,
considerably agitated by the X
perience myself. I was prone to
dismiss it as the latest gimmick
in child psychology. However, l
couldn't get it out Of my mind:
This destruction of one more folk
myth and a whiphand over Junior.
So l called up the store and got
hold Of the vice-president in char
ge of advertising and promotion.
Honestly, I didn't lodge any COM
plant: I just asked if this new
Santa talk was the latest thing in
child guidance, and if Santa's talk
had been written by the stores
copy-writers with the aid Of a
child psychologist.
"Good heavens! 1t sounds in
sane," cried the vice-president, OBJ
vously in great distress. give got
a boy of four I wouldn't have him
hear that for the world. The only
peace we get around the house is
the few weeks before Christmas
when we threaten him with Santa.
Let me investigate and call you
back"
Well, the upshot was that Santa
said he had simply been carried
away by his own gift Of CAB and
all those cute kids looking so pain
fully angelic. Santa contritely
promised he wouldn't do it any
more, the V-P reported, adding
"and he damn we'll better mott"

mony to that alleged ring.
Nathan was identified by Abra-
ham Teitelbaum yesterday as one
linked with five men who allegedly
looked for tax deliquents who
might be soft touches and be will
ing to pay to avoid federal pro-
secution.
Named as members of the ring
by Teitelbaum were T. Lamar eau
die who was fired as assistant At
torney-General, General Service
Administrator Jess Larson, Char
les Oliphant, chief counsel of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and
Joseph Nunan and George J..
Schoenemann, former Commits
sioners of the Bureau.
All five have vehemently denied
the charge.
Teitelbaum, a former lawyer for
Al Capone, identified Nathan, a
Neutrality-suspicious., as one
of two men who told him that
$500, O00could fix his tax troubles.
The other alleged Intermediary was
Bert K. Nastor of Hollywood,
Fla. Teitelbaum's story was back
ed up by Mrs. Shyrl Menkin OF
Miami and Chicago.
Today it is Nathan's turn. He is
a friend of Caudle and is expect.
ed to deny all before the special
House subcommittee investigating
tax frauds.
Also in Washington, an old feuc
which pits Senator Mccarthy

Enthroned in the window, be-
hind the shiny plate glass, was as
handsome a Santa as one is apt
to meet in a month of Christmas
es, with beaming red face and
snowy beard like a silver water
fall.
In his hand, Santa clasped a mi

above our heads, he showered down
his blessings.
