Break In Deadlock Over Prisoner Exchange May Be In Offing

MUNSAN, (P)- The Commun- ists Wednesday obtained a two- day extension of recess in secret armistice talks shortly after the Peiping Red radio broadcast an announcement that could lead to a break in the deadlock over pri- soners.
 The broadcast said Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai announced Communist China adhered-with certain reservations-to the Gen eva Convention of Aug. 12, 1949, dealing with war prisoners.
 The broadcast seemed to sug- geSt that the Communists might agree to transfer of Red war pri- soners who refuse to go home, to a mutually agreeable third pro- tective power or a substitute or ganizat ton such as the all-Swiss International Committee of the Red Cross.
 The belief persisted here that the Reds were studying possible new United Nations statement or proposal that may have cropped up during the current secret ses- sions which began July 4. Red delegates have called other re- ceSses for such purpose.

PITTSBURGH, (P-The 17O- member wage-policy committee of the CIO United Steeworkers meets in Pittsburgh Monday to decide on the unions future course in the 45-day-old stale mated strike that has idled a million and a half American wage earnerS.
 USW president Philip Murray called the policy committee meet ing after a brief negotiating ses- sion with the industry ended in a deadlock Tuesday.
 Murray and Joseph M. Larkin, vice-president of Bethlehem Steel Corp, issued a joint statement saying both sides agree they can find no common meeting ground on the controversial union shop issue. There was no indication when another meeting Would be held.
 Some observers said the next move in the crippling strike is likely to come from the White House. Presidential assistant John R. Steelman spent long time on the telephone talking to both union and industry to set up yes terday'S session.

Sailing of Old Vic Marks Resumption Of Alaska Service

SEATTLE, (P)-Alaska Steam ship Go. service to Alaska was resumed last night.
 The Victoria left Seattle for Seward with about 1,600 tons of general cargo.
 The passenger-cargo ship Den ali was due to sail this afternoon for Ketchikan, Sitka, Kodiak, Se- ward and Cordova.
 Following settlement of the Sailors Union of the Pacific strike, the possibility of difficulties with the Masters, Mates and Pilots was ironed out satisfactorily.
 A union spokeman said the MMP union voted to continue work under an agreement that runs out July 27.
 Capt. Charles F. May of San Francisco, president of the union, said:
 Alaska Steam has assured us in writing that they still are rep resented by the Pacific Maritime Association. CThe Alaska Line broke away from the PIMA, how ever, to reach an individual agree ment in the Sailors dispute).
 "Our union has a wage agree ment with PIMA. So, of course, we are living up to that agreement. When it expires July 27, don't know what will happen. We may extend it, we may open wage negotiations or take some other action.
 At any rate, there is no threat of any strike by Local 90 at the present time"

Alaska Highway Engineer, Frank Metcalf Braves
 Flames to Rescue DentureS

FAIRBANKS, (Po - Territorial Highway Engineer Frank Metcalf was among the guests who fled from the flaming Pioneer Hotel early Monday and he did it after returning to his room for his false teeth and glasses.
 Metcalf said he could hear the crackle of the flames as he started down the hall from his room. Suddenly he realized he didn't have either of the essential per sonal items. So, flames or no flames, he returned to his room to get them.
 When he finally got to the street he found he had only one shoe on. He lost all his clothing and luggage.
 Highway patrolmen here passed the hat and presented him with emergency clothing.

SPOTS ON WALL?
CONTOUR SHEETS?

mrs. J. M. j.. Siluer Spring.
Mrs. T. L. B.. Washington: We
had a similar condition as you
describe-wet spots on the
walls-in one house we lived in.
The builder Of the house said
it was caused by the bricks. He
said that no matter how care
fully a builder might be in
purchasing his materials. some
inferior bricks would get in.
He said the wet spots were
caused by these bricks. They
were a rather soft type and
contained some ingredients that
absorbed water.
These spots only appeared on
very humid days. He repapered
our house for us and before the
new paper was put on the men
painted these spots with shell
lac. I think there are other
things with which walls could
be painted to prevent the mois-
ture from coming through onto
the paper. I should add, that in
our case, the treatment was
satisfactory. We never had the
wet spots again. I hope this
helps you.
Could I ask for some opinions
or comments on contour sheets?
I bought a pair to use on q
mattress that is very heavy. I
thought it would make bed
making easier. i was unable to
get it on the mattress. Since
! had washed it, I had to keep it
so used it on another bed.
Is it a colossal job to get it
on. Are there any tricks to
doing this job? ! found it hard
to hang on the line. impossible
to press fiat and also impossible
to fold and put away neatly.

ELDERLY PEOPLE;
WOOL PICTURE.
Mrs. J. H.. Alerandrial

mrs. J. H.. alexandria,
The letter regarding the elder
~ brought an entirely new topic
to RCH If ! am not mistaken.
This past spring. I spied q very
elderly lady watching the public
pass near one Of the busiest
sections Of our city.
She had, she stated, been there
several hours. Sitting upon store
steps watching the trafiic and
trying to attract some passer-
by to assist her to o means Of
transportation for the return
home. A kindly lady driver had
brought her downtown and had
not. as partly promised. returned
for her.
AS a cab was halted. I saw
that she did need physical assist
ance in getting to any form Of
transportation. "Why are you
here?" Where are those upon
whom you depend?" "Dearie,"a
came the reply. when you get to
my age, sometimes your real
friends are no longer here"
With the speedy passing Of
time and the realization that I
had "ticked OF" the past five
and 10 years as magic, the re-
mark Of the little old lady put
me to thinking.
Here was a case Of aged loneli-
ness. Coming downtown may
have supplied her a great need.
I regretted. as my busy day
passed. that I had not found out
more about her. Perhaps among
the many little tasks for which
I never find time, there was
something to offer her. That she
had something to offer Of her
experiences Of a long life. I
found myself thinking what 7
would do IN such a case again.
In our informed or unin.
formed way, we do know that
welfare agencies do aid the
aged. But I feel sure none
realizes just what it means to
finally become another aged
person in a lonely and busy
world-until the time arrives.
To fulfill our way Of life to the
utmost. we possibly find that
our necessary energies are
localized into personal and
group activities. i
Yet there is a real need Of
individual awakening to the fact
that the problem Of the aged is
not completely a welfare one.
Perhaps. individually. we might
do lot to brighten the last
days Of a normally aged person.
Mrs. M. H. D., Washington,
Although I have no idea as to
the correct method of restora-
ton Of the embroidered wool
picture. may I suggest how 7
would do it II. no better idea
arrives? Perhaps bleaches would
weaken the wool thread of the
picture Mrs. d. wishes to keep
for many years. As I assume
that she does wish 1t to last.
! would try to copy the stitch
as nearly as possible. BY pur-
chasing from a recognized shop
Of authority the proper threads
in color and size most nearly.
In covering most nearly the
former work and discoloration,
the effect might be one of good
harmonw, since the original Isl
one Of hand touch. I found;
this worked In q lovely hand
crocheted sweater which I had.

Cover. 3 or 4 inches with
water and then stir in two
heaping tablespoons of cooking
soda. Cook until hull will rub
of between fingers and then
wash through several waters
rubbing between hands as you
wash. Corn will be yellow after
last wash water. Put back in
pot. cover well with water and
cook until tender. Corn will
be white then. I have used this
method many times and like it
better than lye and its safer.
