What To Unfr 6 eeze Is The Question

Continued from Page One, fixed margin ,ot profit, might. be ordered by the end of the week.
 The plan Di Sale said he is considering woald limit nro&t margins all along tue line 4lQm manufactures to retailer. The Fri day price order fixed ceilings at the highest level between Dec. 19 and Jan. g. Wages were sealed at Jan, 25 levels.
 Tn the middle of the struggle for an orderly retreat from the tenn porary wage-price freeze, wage stabilization board chairman cy- rus S. Ching called on the public to ''have patience"
 50 much more progress can be made," he said, if the nine wage experts could be left alone. How ever, the first wave of mail after the Friday order wasn't mountain ous. Most of it was from police men, firemen, school teachers and others who wondered whe- ther their wages were to be stabil- ized.
 The answer was to be forthcom- ing in one of the earliest. state ments of the board. Wages and salaries of the 100000 federal, state and city employees are fix ed by legislation and ordinances, and therefore they were left out of the general stabilization pro- gram in World War II.
 Some members of the wage board favored an immediate in terim formula which would apply to all workers in the future, clear ing the way for completion of ne- gotiations in hundreds of indus tries, now at a standstiH because of the order. That should come first, the labor members argued.

2l Die I'm Rest Home Fire

HOQUAIM, Wash. PeA dis astrous rest home fire claimed its 21st victim early today and the hospital reported another was mean death.
 Nils Vengerbreton, one of the 30 old age pensioners who were resi- dents of the rest home, died of burns received when flash fire roared through the rambling frame structure shortly before lunch time yesterday.
 AS the holocaust roared from basement to second floor with sickening speed, the aged scream ed for help. One pensioner, Henry Haywood, 70, said he was lying down upstairs when he looked un- der the door, which opened on stairway. Sddenly he saw flames and smoke.
 "I ran down the hall and warn ed the others" he said. Then I put on my shirt, pants and socks, but by that time the smoke and heat was so bad I went out the back window on a narrow ledge"
 He held on to the gutter for short while before firemen "shov- ed a ladder under me and helped me down."
 Then, of his aged unfortunate friends he left behind, he said:
 "I'm sure they couldn't get out as most of them couldn't walk"

OF Civil Rights Congress
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-A $1,764
Federal tax lien against the Civi
Rights Congress, bail angel" fol

$736,000 in bonds posted for the
Red defendants.
The tax lien was filed yesterday
by the collector of internal reve.
nue. for alleged non-payment o:
taxes for the last two quarters o.
1850 and the second quarter o.
1851.
Included in the lien was S1,67s

withholding and social security
taxes. The balance was for in
terest and a penalty.
A memorandum filed with the
lien put in escrow $4,000 in

leaders. This amount does not
include the $4,000 forfeited by
the CRC when four convicted Reds
jumped bail in July.

the bonds for Communists accused
of conspiracy to advocate the vio-
lent overthrow of the United
States Government.
Although seven of the convict
ed Reds turned themselves in to

Mythical Quake Tests
Army's sAbiIity 10 Keep
Communicat Open

The Military District of Wash
ington yesterday tested its ability
to keep communications open
while the Nations Capital reeled
under devastating series of
imaginary earthquakes.
Several hundred officers and
enlisted men were engaged in ex-
ecuting command program based
on these assumptions:
/. The earthquake shook Wash
ington at noon, collapsing many
of the buildings and bridges and
resulting high water made several
highways near the rivers impass-
able.
2. Most of the power in the Cap
ital was off because the quake de-
stroyed the Nichols avenue SUBJ
station, made the Benning road
generating plant imperative and
high water flooded the furnaces
of the Buzzard Point plant. Only
the Alexandria plant was oper-
ating.
Main Bridges Down.
3. Bridges were down all over
the city. Both the Massachusetts
and Connecticut avenue bridges
across Rock Creek Park collapsed
Memorial Bridge remained stand
ing. but was unsafe for traffic
The new Fourteenth Street Bridge
collapsed, blocking the river chan
mel, while the old span remained
in operation. Of the Anacostia
bridges only those at Eleventh
and South Capitol streets were in
/ tact.
4. Reports of civil disturbances
in the Capital were received. The
Jail was rendered unsafe. There
was panic in Potomac Park where
people were attempting to cross
the remaining Fourteenth STREE
Bridge into Virginia.
S. Half of the buildings in the
Federal Triangle collapsed. Many
Government employees were
trapped, killed or injured. Fires
were raging out of control in this
area.
The White House and Capitol
suffered only minor damage.
Avenues Open.
6. Pennsylvania and Constitu.
ton avenues were open but cross
streets were closed.
In the war room" of Military
District Of Washington headquar-
ters at Gravelly Point, Maj. Gen
Thomas w. Herren and Col. w. c.
Roberts dealt with the supposed
catastrophe as a communications
problem only. Without help of
telephones and telegraph, they
were getting messages to officers
of the command telling the things
they should do if the catastrophe
were a real one. Only radio,
courier, planes. jeeps and motor
cycles were used to send messages.

Most Freight Rates
Due 10 Rise Auq. 28
BY the Associated Pres,

Higher railroad freight rates on
everything but grain and grain
products probably will go into
effect August %.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission three days ago authorized
boost in most rail freight rates
OF 8 per cent east of the Mis-
slssippi and north of the Potomac
and 6 per cent elsewhere.
The 1CC made the 6 per cent
rise effective nationally on grain
and grain products. The commits
sion stipulated the public should
have Is days prior notice.
This was amended yesterday to
require 80 days notice for the
new grain schedules.
The Association of American
Railroads said it was told the
higher tariffs would be ready for
public display August 13. That
would make the effective dates
September II for grains and grain
products and August % for other
shipments.
The 1CC said the increases were
designed to meet mounting over
all railway operating costs.
The Office of Price Sterilization
yesterday filed a protest against
an 1CC ruling permitting Eastern
railroads to increase round-trip
passenger fares. OPS asked the
commission to suspend the in
crease until full public hearings
could be held. OPS said the boost
appeared arbitrary" and may be
Iinflationary"
The railroads recently published
new tariff schedules which Off
clals said would reduce the present
10 per cent discount on round
trip tickets to about S per cent.

Redecoruting of Old Homes Becomes Need and Fashion
By Gladys Miller
Secretary. New York Chapter,
Amsricon Institute Of Decorators

Renovating old buildings will
become new fashion-as well as
need-now that restrictions have
been placed on new building.
Take heart-if you, too, find
yourself forced to use ingenuity,
originality, and (don't forget)
knowledge to make over quarters
so that they will be more livable.
Though it may take time, COM
promise and some money, you
probably will have, when you fin
ish, a place with style and char
acter.
All problems are character
building, and decorating preblems
are no exception.
Not long ago, we saw just such
an apartment done by a young
business woman who suddenly
found herself homeless when the
building in which she lived was
converted into a nurses home.
After many discouraging weeks,
she convinced the owner of an
old brownstone built in the late
nineties that a bedraggled base
ment apartment could serve as her
home.
What the Tenant Did.
The owner agreed to tear down
ugly and useless partitions to con-
vert two cubby-holes into a fair
sized living room: to install all
modern kitchen and bath facili-
ties and to paint. The tenant
agreed to carry on from there.
She faced the prospect of a dreary
view of wooden wall through
four windows of different sizes.
The windows left no wall space
for furniture, and gave the room
a choppy appearance.
Here is what she did: The walls
and woodwork were painted a
bright butter=yellow to give the
Illusion of sunshine. AS there was
practically no good outside light,
she decided to install a good mod
ern system of lighting, and then
build her entire decorating scheme
around it.
While the construction was be-
ing done. she had the necessary
wiring installed, after having con-
suited q home wiring consultant.
The consultant suggested color
draw-draperies to cover the entire
wall broken by the windows and
partially over the end wall where
there was small window.
A 20-inch-deep overall cornice
was built to compensate for a
relatively high ceiling, and the
lighting fixtures were installed six
inches out from the wall to two
2-by-4s attached to the CELL
ing behind the cornice, allow
ing q wide spread OF light
into the room.
Five 40-watt, single-lamp huor-
escent lighting fixtures, each 48
inches in length, were placed end
to-end to provide a continuous
row of light. Each fixture Is con-
nected to the next by ordinary
Blk cable wire, and then to the
wall switch.
Print Used for Draperies.

yellow ground was used for the

green cornice and the leaves in
the print.
The sofa was covered in deep
er value of the yellow on the wall.
The bachelor chest with desk slide
served as dresser and desk.
The table desk lamp was needed
for study and close work.
All rooms need specific as we'll
as general lighting. It is usually
wise to combine 'fuorescent and
incandescent lighting to provide
a pleasing atmosphere.
Removing the partitions Gre
ated an open area for a double
duty room. Painting the walls,
woodwork and ceiling the same
color eliminated many confusing
lines and helped unity the space.
Covering the window wall with
attractively designed draperies hid
the badly balanced, off-size win
dows, giving the room a focal
point OF interest, design, texture,
and color.
Modern lighting completed the
renovation and no one would be-
lieve that the apartment was in a
basement with little outside light
and no vista.

one statement the Secretary made
is not clear to me. He said the
President would cooperate. Does
that mean the release to any sena-

of all the papers in relation to
this subject in the hands Of the

very vital point.

Senator Sparkman- On
May II Gen. Macarthur was
quoted through his spokesman as
follows:
Gen. MacArthur's spokesman
said today that until January 13'
that is the day the President
sent his letter to Gen. Macarthur
this year, Macarthur believed
Washington officials wanted our
forces evacuated from Korea and
made a scapegoat for some politi-
cal advantage.
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney
MacArthur's aide, said a January
13 message from President Tru-
man was the Governments first
clear statement to Macarthur tc
hold in Korea"
Do you know Of any facts that
would warrant any such state
ment as that?
Secretary AcheSon - No, sir;
there are no facts to my knowl-
edge; and I would go consider
able way in saying that no such
facts exist.
Senator Sparkman-Nobody here
you know of wanted Korea evac-
uated and the Eighth Army made
a Scapegoat2
Secretary Acheson-Not in the

Secretary Explains
Role in MESSAGE

(Senator Cain took over the ex-
animation with an attack on Sen
ator Morse's defense of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in relation to the
message to Gen. Macarthur
Senator Cain Mr.. Secre-
tary, with reference to one of my
questions to you; on yesterday you
testified that you would find it
necessary to refer to your notes
to see whether you, yourself, par
lticipated in the formulation of the
l29 December message sent by the
jos to Gen. Macarthur.
Have you been able, sir, to de-
termine your own part in the max
ing Of that message?
Secretary Acheson-Yes, think
I can, sir.
This quetsion came up in the
early part Of December I have
an idea it was on December 8,
I guess it was, and it appears on
page SO of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff narrative here. that Gen.
Macarthur reported that the
situation in Korea must be viewed
on the basis of an entirely new
war. against an entirely new power
of great military strength and
under entirely new conditions.
Furthermore, he reported his COM
mand as facing the entire
Chinese nation in an undeclared
war" This is paragraph four on
page SO. Strategic concepts
suitable for operation against the
North Korean army could no
longer be applied and unless some
positive and immediate action
was taken, hope for success could
not be justified and steady at
triton leading to final destruc-
ton could reasonably be contem-
plated. He further stated that
this situation called for political
decisions and strategic plans ade-
Iquate to meet the realities in
Ivolved."
1t was then that the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff, with the approval
of the President and the Secretary
Iof Defense, replied Immediately
that the preservation of Gen.
MacArthur's forces was now the
primary consideration and that
consolidation into beachheads was
Iconcurred in.
Wanted Full Power of u. N.
Then, paragraph nine, that was
discussed again on the 4th of
December by Gen. Macarthur, who
informed the Chief of Staff as
to his views on the Korean situa-
