Readers Clearing House
GREETING CARDS.

(MrS. E. D. c., Washington
. SO much interest seems to be
shown by the readers of this
column in the use Of used
Christmas and other greeting
cards that I thought the fol-
lowing from the Christian Sci
e1ce Monitor might be appreci-
ated by them as it was by me.
again we wonder what we
shall ever do with all those
greeting cards which win come
to us. Use them, and let them
add joy to the whole year.
Large ones make covers for
small books and pamphlets.
For a book cover, cut a slit up
the middle of the inner fold; put
the two flaps thus formed in
side the book covers. and secure
the lower edge with a bit Of
Scotch tape.
Cut cards 3x5 inches for your
recipe file. Type the fruit cake
recipe on the back Of a joyous
picture: type the cookie recipe
on the back of a fat Santa. Use
similar cards in your address
file.
Use one for a bookmark, and
cards for covers on all manner
of membership cards, drivers
licenses, etc. They can be
folded easily If slightly warmed
tirst .and the fold can be pressed
In with a barely warm iron.
Leave a stack Of pretty cards
at the telephone, instead Of the
prosaic note pad.
Use small cards for stamp
folders; the pages will separate
denominations. Put four cards
together bookwise and use for a
shopping list. Samples can be
pinned to the pages.
Make a book of three or four
large cards, and use for an en-
broidery floss folder.
Use cards for filing folders for
negatives, for elusive small clip
pings, for the tiny parts Of dress
patterns. and for wee daughters
doll patterns.
Use one for a booklnark, and
make your notes on it's pages.
Write notes on them for the
children's bulletin board The
reminder Of a task is jollier If
Santa delivers the message.
Cut a postcard 3Ax41a inches
there is no law requiring a
postal card to be ugly.
Stick a few lightly along q
door where the children's hands
make smudges. Cut q hole in a
card and stick it around the
kitchen light-switch: little boys
can't always have clean hands.
neither can daddies when carry
ing in wood.
Once you get into the habit OF
reaching for the stack Of used
greeting cards, you will wonder
why you ever thought them a
problem.

VENISoN STEAKS
MRS. E. N. H.. Fatrtar.

Mrs. S. R., Alexandria: Here's
how I fix my venison steaks:
Slice; soak in vinegar 10 min
utes. Drain and dry with paper
towel. Salt and roll the steaks
in flour. Heat fat and fry a
Glove of garlic until light brown.
Remove the garlic and continue
to fry the steak as you would
dry beef steak. My husband ate
venison for the first time a short
time ago but says he liked it
better than beef steak. I've had
venison many times.

Friends moving from Washing

told us rentals are higher than
here-and less accommodating.
Denver is a city Of small homes,
few and small apartment devel-
opments. South Denver, the
area near Denver University, Is
a pleasant community Of nice
small homes and I believe house
prices there will be found lower
than for comparable property
here.
I believe the reader will be
very happy with the move to

Hearing on Story Limit

A hearing will be held at 10 m.
December 16 in the District Build
ing on a proposal to strike from
the zoning code any limitation on
the number of stories in buildings
that come within the maximum
height permitted.
The District Zoning Commission
last week rejected the proposal
to eliminate from the regulations
limitations against the number of
stories allowable in buildings 110
or 130 feet high.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robinson
Engineer Commissioner and chair
man Of the zoning body, said that
two of the commission members
voted in favor of the change
one opposed it and the fourth
abstained.
The fifth member of the group
District Commissioner Renah F.
Camalier, was disqualified from
voting because he had not beer
named to Office when the hearing
was held.
The vote resulted in a lega
question because the zonlng laws
requires a majority vote of the
five Zoning Commission members
and Gen. Robinson said the two
to-one decision is invalid.

Pentagon Is Worried
AT Eisenhower Trip
And Urges Secrecy
By John A. Giles

Top Pentagon officials are
acutely concerned with the secur-
ity of President-elect Eisenhower
during his forthcoming trip to
Korea
Both Secretary of Defense
Lovett and Gen. Bradley. chair
man Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
are said to have expressed their
deep concern in talks with Pres
ident Truman.
But. so far as could be learned,
the new President has not yet
got in touch with the military
establishment about the trip.
When the next Chief Executive
does get in touch with them he
will have his choice of three plans
for the trip.
Plan "a" the only one so far
discussed. calls for complete
secrecy for the trip with no pub
lie announcement prior to or dur
ing it. Mr.. Lovett is said to favor
that plan strongly.
1t is assumed at the Pentagon
that the President-elect will go
through one or two days of brief
ings on the Korean situation and
the military situation in general
following his talks with Mr.. Tru-
man November II. This would
be natural for the new President,
with his military background.
The probability is that the
military will assign an officer to
accompany him, if that is agree
able TO Gen. Eisenhower. The
officer would be of high rank.

Wreck Thworts Clerks Dream,
OF Becoming Narcotics Auent

A 23-year-old clerk in the Fed
eral Bureau of Narcotics is still
unconscious today, IA months
after the automobile accident that
kept him from realizing his great
ambition to be a Federal agent.
Richard r. Wade, 3716 Military
road NV, walked into a known
dope pad on the night of Septem-
Der 8, 1851. He was impersonating
an airman from Boiling Air Force
Base.
He was a fledgling at undercover
work. working up to be full
agent. He wanted to make buy
to add to the Investigations that
preceded the city-wide breakdown
on the Districts illicit narcotics
traffic two months later.
First Big Chance.
He had helped the bureaus
agents out a few times before,
but this was his first big chance.
Just then, two Armed Services
policemen walked in. The place
was a restaurant, suspected of
harboring dope peddlers. They
asked him for his identification
card. Since he wasn't really an
airman, he didn't have one.
Mr.. Wade never was able to
make his buy. The Armed Services
Police whisked him off in their
patrol wagon for investigation. He
couldn't reveal his true identity
in the cafe, because it would ruin
his chances for future buys.
En- route to Armed Services
headquarters, the wagon received
an emergency call to quell a riot.
And then. at Twelfth and M
streets NV, a speeding truck
crashed into the patrol wagon
sideswiped two parked cars and
disappeared. The wagon turned
over and Mr.. Wade was hurled to
the street.
HE slid on his head for so
yards" Federal Narcotics Com
missioner Harry Anslinger said
yesterday. HE hasn't regained
consciousness since"
Accident Investigation Unit Po-
liceman E. j. Couture arrived and
discovered clues that led police to
the abandoned truck two days
later in Temperance court S.W.

BY the Assoeiofed Press


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. H.
Gen. Eisenhower pocketed Ten
nessee's II electoral votes by q
scant majority of less than 5000
votes from nearly 100000 cast in
last Tuesdays election.
With the official count COM
pleted in "a of the States 95
counties and the unofficial vote
included from that one county
the vote stood:
Gen. Eisenhower, 446,078; Gov
Stevenson, 443.481. Gen. Eisen-
hower's majority, 2,597.
The lone county from which
the official canvass has not beer
made is Claiborne, in the pro-
Eisenhower 1st district of East
Tennessee. The delay in the count
there is due to the illness of two
election commissioners.
Claiborne's unofficial vote in the

1921 for Eisenhower, 2,186 fol
Gov. Stevenson. The official count
probably will be the same as the
unofficial one.

Republican Chiefs Say Truman
Crippled Stevenson Campaign

Top Republicans think Presi-
dent Truman's rough-and- tumble
campaign tactics hurt the Demo-
cratic cause.
Wilson Wyatt, campaign man
ager for Gov. Stevenson, differs
but he agrees that some of the
things Mr.. Truman said in at
tacking Gen. Eisenhower seemed
very blunt" and were disturb
ing" to many people.
The varying viewpoints were
expressed in telephone interviews
published in a copyrighted story
in U. S. News and World Report
weekly news magazine.
Senator Taft Of Ohio. Gov
Dewey of New York, Representa-
tive Martin of Massachusetts
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
and Chairman Arthur E. Sum-
merfield of the Republican Ma
tional Committee are the G. o. p
leaders who think that Mr.. Tru-
man lost votes for Gov. Steven
tSon.
Senator Taft said he thought
tMr. Truman gave spirit to the
Democratic campaign" but con-
tended the President "alienated a
lot more (voters) than he ac-
Iquired" " and stirred up antagon-
isms In people who might other
wise have been friendly to Gov
Stevenson.
Taft Says He Could Have Won.
Senator Taft also declared he
thinks he would have won the
election if he had been nominated,
and tnat the Republicans would
have won against any Democratic
candidate.
Mr.. Martin took a different view
Asked if he thought the Repub-

Gen. Eisenhower, he replied:
mo, I'm afraid not. I am in.
clined to think thai Eisenhower is
the only man we could have wor
with this year."
AS for Mr.. Truman's role. in the
campaign, here are some OF the
comments:
Gov. Dewey-"I think he low
cred the level Of the campaign tt
the point where the people were
repelled. They finally discovered
that his tactics were mere mud
singing and vilification. )"
Mr.. Martini think he dis
tinctly hurt Stevenson. / dom
think the people approved of tn,
type of campaign he put on"
Mr.. Summerfleld-"He definite
ly hurt Stevenson"
Senator Lodge-"People were

think they rejected the things h
said about Eisenhower.

backed Gen. Eisenhower, said, h
thinks the outcome of the election

two-party system in the tradi-
tionally Democratic South.
Mr. Wyatt feels that President
Truman definitely made a "plus
contribution" to the Stevenson
campaign with his back-platform
speeches.
Reporters who were with Mr..
Truman throughout his 18,000-
mile drive got the same reports
from Democratic leaders.
Three outstanding examples
were in California, Colorado and
New York.
The Democrats lost the three
