 Here are a few examples of how German big business is cutting it's country's own throat hy aiding the Communists:
 Up to May 10, 1850, all exports of German machinery were con- trolled by the Allied High Commis- sion. On that date, however, the orders were relaxed and the Bonn government was given export con- trol Significantly, during the first 21 days after May 10, more ball bearings and more rubber com- pounds weqe ehsent t8 tie RusAaf satellites than had been smuggled out in previous five months. Also huge quantities of carbon black precious nickel, lead, crude iron and pig iron were exported--much of it going to Communist Hungary
 These shipments continued ln June, totaling twice as much as in May-even though May had set a record and even though the Ger man government had previously agreed to ban these shipments.
 Finally, high commissioner Me Cloy caught one barefaced ship ment of American army trucks t( Communist Hungary. Nine thous' and surplus trucks had been ac' quired by Truck and Spare Motor Vehicles Ltd. for $314 each. I'm! was a legitimate sale by Steg, tht agency which sells American arm! surplus. But Truck and Spare Motol Vehicles Ltd. turned around ane sold 356 army trucks to Hungary making the sale with an official ok from the German government, des' bite the fact that this was agalns the regulations surrounding the salt of U s. property.
 Fortunately, alert American troop on the German border got suspl cious and stopped the truck ship ment. It never reached Hungary

PIasferIike Coating
Used Over WaIIboard
Gives Smooth Surface
By Roger c. Whitman

Question: The walls and ceilings
in my house are of gypsum wall
board and are papered. Is there
any way to level the joinings of
the wallboard in the ceiling so
that it can be painted? If that
can't be done is there a way to
apply plaster to the present CELL
ing?
Answer: There is a plaster-like
coating that is intended for appli-
cation over old. defective plaster
walls as well as over wallboard.
Ask for it at a well-stocked hard
ware and paint store. The ceiling
paper will first have to be re-
moved. The new coating can be
applied so that the ceiling will
have a smooth surface.
Urges Concrete Posts.
Question: am building a new
house which required several g.
by-6-inch posts to support the
rear porch It was impossible to
obtain clear crackless lumber for
this purpose, so we picked out
the best available. Each post has
cracks running the full length of
the post, but not over an inch in
depth. May contractor tells me
that caulking compound inserted
in these cracks with a pressure
gun will fill them satisfactorily.
What is your opinion on this
matter?
Answer: If the problem were
mine would return the posts and
use concrete posts instead. If you
have already started with the
posts you should take precautions
against insects as well as filling
the cracks according to the con-
tractors plans. The underground
parts need a treatment with creo-
sote or else with a chemical wood
preservative, and an overall
treatment with the preservative
would be good. Creosote some
times is smelly, and might be OBJ
jectionable when used on the up
per parts of the postS)
2 Goats Advised.
Question: I would like to know
what to do for my rain troughs.
They are copper. and I painted
them with aluminium paint, fol-
lowing with white paint. Now the
copper has come through, and
after a rain you can see the copper
color running on the other white
paint. It looks bad. How can I
make these rain troughs white?
Answer: One coat of aluminium
paint and one of white paint were
not enough to resist the elements
for any length of time. Clean the
surfaces by brushing with a stiff
brush. then apply two coats of
a top quality house paint. The
inside of the cutters should be
given two thin coats of asphalt
roof coating.
