RUG?
PLASTIC BAG.


I am interested in purchasing 8
rug and have recently read about
the new room-size rugs made o1
cotton. These are not shag rugs
but are a low pile, hard twist
firm cotton with a pebbly texture
AS I am not familiar whit thi
type of rug and do not know any
one who has one, I would very
much appreciate hearing from
some one who could give me in
formation on them.
Are they satisfactory as to dura-
bility and appearance, are they
hard to keep clean, and do they
shed much lint. in comparison
with wool rugs?
With regard to the plastic bag
to Danish sprinkling clothes. my
personal experience with this has
been that it worthless for this
purpose. I tried different methods
of use, adding a small amount OF
water with each few garments
placed in the bag. also tried add
ing about a cupful after placing
all clothes in the bag. Always
after waiting even "a hours the
results were the same. some soak.
ing wet and some dry spots.
So I gave up in despair and
went back to sprinkling and roll
ing up for a thorough. even job
I think the real secret is that the
garment must be rolled, snugly
in order for the moisture tt
spread evenly, and this is not &C.
complished when the clothes are
just placed in the bag loosely.
However. I find the bag is won.
derful for placing sprinkled. rolled
clothes in before ironing. They
don't dry out at all, and you car

part of our food? A gardent plant
would be ideal, but all of us can't
have that. However. some vege-
tables can be raised In porch or
window boxes. Some can even be
raised in pots in sunny windows.
A little study of a seed cata-
logue will give you an idea OF
which are the easiest to raise and
are the most prolific. Several Of
the greens are quite Easy to raise
and can be picked for months.
such as mustard greens, Swiss
chard and sorrell. Radishes and
parsley can be planted together
because the radishes mature be-
fore the parsley comes up. Carrots
and peppers can be grown in pots.
Besides being good to eat they
are decorative.
Vegetables can also be grown in
what used to be flower beds.
Mushrooms can be grown in fiat
boxes In a dark corner Of tl<
basement. Once they are started
all they need is watering. Large
seed companies sell mushroom
spawn. Directions come with it,
With the modern broiler batteries,
broilers can be raised in the ga
rage or even by window In the
basement. They take up very little
space.
Honey beehives are another
thing you wouldn't ordinarily
think of in the city. I know of
persons here who have several on
top of their garages. They could
be kept on any fiat roof.
You can get complete beginners

forting to know we aren't entirely
dependent on our transportation
system for foods.
Have any Of you suggestions for
keeping apples fresh? I am always
allowing some salesman to sell me
a whole bushel. Half of them usu-
ally spoil or get wrinkled before
I can use them up. I keep them
in the basement.
Also have any OF you ever tried
to raise mushrooms in a box un-
der the kitchen sink? Can 1t be
done?
I was considering putting plas-

I am asking. at this time, for

sure that I cut that one out, too,
but where or where did that one
get to. If that friend will be kind
enough to let me have that one
again, I will do the very same
thing, write it down in my recipe

My mother made the incest

LETTER 70 EDITOR

| There is a time-worn saying
IN the law fraternity: When
! the facts are on your side
pound the jury; when the law
. is en- your side pound the
| judge; when you don't have
either-pound the table, 1t
{ would seem that Mr.. Deveau
has now resorted to pounoing
the table.
! On September 20, 1851, Mr..
Deveau intimated that his
hands were clean, but that
memcers of the city govern
ment had tainted hands. He
specifically averred to the
cannery situation at the City
Dock.
On October 6, 1851, as a
private citizen, and with no
axes to grind or benefit to be
gained, set out nine seperate
points in a letter to the Editor
concerning those complaints
of Mr.. Deveau.
On October Is, 1851, Mr..
Deveau chose to answer my
last letter. He took exception
to only one of the nine points
loutlined, and so in effect he
concurs and agrees with the
remaining eight points. Those
eight points, now admittedly
true, in themselves prove that
we are lucky to have the clean
and wholesome city govern
ment we do have.
! Concerning the ninth point:
Mr.. Deveau writes that it is,
! 1.-THE height of ridiculous
mess. :" to state that the city
lspent So, 500 to provide moor
!age for Mr.. Deveau's cannery.
To use AL Smiths old slogan,
Lets look at the record" In
+; March, 1949, according to the
,audited books of the City of
Kodiak, the City had a place
dredged on the shore side of

Idate the Islands Seafoods

lmoorage facilities for Islands

but the City attempted to give
the best site possible to Is
lands Seafoods, a new in
dustry. And at the present
time, the Islands Seafoods
Company has the finest loca-
ton available to it on the en-.
tire float.

vant-especially those who
work so hard for us, with nc

In this case Mr.. Deveau's

one) should be taken to the

Washington Report
BY United States Senator
Herbert X. O'COnOr

One of the matters of utmost i'm
portance to national security at the
present time is the ferreting out of
disloyal persons, both citizens and
aliens, in our midst. The record of
Communist infiltration and ultimate
seizure of various governments now
under Communist domination reveals
all too clearly the necessity for pre-
cautionary measures in this field.
Closely allied to such efforts are
activities which it has been my priv
ilege to direct, as Chairman of a
Senate Subcommittee, looking to the
exclusion of undesirable aliens who
come to this country to engage in
activities which would endanger the
public safety.
Two facts of special significance,
developed from the hearings held in
New York and Washington, demand
attention-and correction.
One fact is that some 1916 visas
have been issued in less than four
years to aliens from Iron Curtain
countries and that, of those so adj
mitted, adverse security information
has since been obtained on IS of the
aliens. OF these, AZ were connected
with consuates and embassies, and
81 were affiliates of an international
organization.
In addition, the State Department
recently requested the admission into
the United States, temporarily, of 81
Communist aliens coming to the
United Nations who were subject to
exclusion under the immigration law.
Another fact that disturbed the
members of the Subcommittee was
that no action had ever been taken by
the United States to restrict or con-
troll travel throughout the country by
aliens coming to the United Nations,
despite the fact that in the agree
ment on the U. N. Headquarters Site
there was provision for such an ar
rangement.
AS result the Subcommittee is
recommending:
/. That vigorous program of en-
forcement be instituted to exclude I'M
desirable and dangerous aliens from
this country, and to deport aliens al
ready here, irrespective of their dip
lomatic or other status, who are a
danger to the nation and,
2. That the State Department be
called upon to negotiate an agree
ment with the United Nations, to fix
the boundaries of the u. N. Head
quarters area so as to permit control
by the United States of travel by
aliens into other parts of the country.
AS constructive evidence for the
need of such action by our govern
ment the Subcommittee cited the case
of Polish alien, President of a Polish
Steamship Line, who, in previous
hearings over which | presided, was
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1951-08-16

shown to have conducted subversiv,
propaganda by radio and who, al
though forced to leave the country a
that time, was readmitted a veal
later
Certainly when American officials
newspaper men and others are
thoroughly restricted in their travels
in Communist countries, where they
would have no reason to engage il
subversive activities, it is unwise, in.
deed, to continue to permit persons
we know are coming here for subver.
sve activities to enter and roam
around the country without super.
vision.
Such policy is an open invitation
to our enemies to engage in subver-
sive activities and every effort must
be pursued to prevent continuance OF
present conditions.
Oats Case Holds Spotlight
Action by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee is being urged from
many sides on a Resolution | recently
introduced to direct positive action
by the government looking to the re-
lease by Czechoslovakian authorities
of William N. Oats, AP correspond
ent now in Jail for alleged spying.
Newspapers, press associations
publishers groups and the public
generally are insistent that the United
States take a firm stand on this case
and let the Communist Governments
know in no uncertain terms that
America will not accept a continuance
of such outrages against its citizens
The six-point program suggested
for action by this country and with
regard to which a great deal of pub
lie support has developed is as fol
lows:
1. Shut off trade with Czechoslo-
vakia.
g. Get rid of all foreign Communist
journalists assigned to the United
States.
3. Sever diplomatic relations with
Czechoslovakia.
4. Spare no effort to arraign the
Communists at the bar of world public
opinion.
5. Bargain for Oats on our terms.
6. Finally, let's keep up our re-
armament program.
