Truman Ponders Plan
To Lecture Youngsters
On Politics in Future
North Am.rIeon New.pep.r AIIiane.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 81
When President Truman leaves
the White House-and he is moi
saying Just when that will be-
he has an idea he would like tc
do something to further the edu.
cation and interest of children
in political affairs and the
mechanics Of government and the
art Of running for Office and serv-
ing the public. when and if elected
Mr.. Truman disclosed his
thoughts along that line to 9
friend on his holiday visit here.
The President said that wher
he leaves Office he would like tt
prepare series of lectures suitable
for youngsters detailing the busi.
ness OF politics from precinct te
President.
Went Entire Route.
He could draw largely from
personal experiences for the lec-
lures, for the Missourian has gone
the entire route in politics, which
has given him a rich fund OF
knowledge.
A precinct-to-Pres series
could give intimate accounts OF
local campaigns for the jackson
County court. on which Mr.. Tru-
man served before entering ma
tional politics. It could tell OF
two hard-fought and narrowly
victorious campaigns for the
United States Senate from Mis-
souri,; Of a national campaign for
the vice presidency as a running
mate of the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt, of an elevation to the
White House because of the death
of President Roosevelt. and, final
ly, of tough national campaign
for election to the White House
in his own right In which he
emerged surprising victor in
1948.
Seeks to Stir Interest.
Mr.. Truman long has urged a
greater public interest in politics
and Government as one sure way
of building a greater reservoir of
persons interested in the public
service Of Government. A series
Of lectures such as he envisions
would be designed to stimulate the
interest of the younger genera
ton. and, perhaps. encourage
them to point their education to
entering Government service.
1t also would be designed to
demonstrate how politics works,
and how the Government func-
tions through votes of the people,
so there would not be so much
misunderstanding at election time,
and puzzling at the ways of the
Government.

Some home chores that con-
Stantly plague us. such as polish
ing floors, woodwork, window sillS.
Venetian blinds, furniture and
1inoleum, have been made as easy
as one could desire through de-
velopment Of a new. transparent
plastic coating. This coating is
neither q paint nor a varnish. It
protects and seals almost any sur
face.
This coating is easy to apply,
simply being wiped on the surface
to be protected. It wipes away
dullness as easily as one wipes off
dust.
Designed primarily for renewing
old and dull surfaces on which a
wax or Oil polish will not restore
the finish. this resinous plastic
type ref1nish leaves a washable,
glass-like surface that dries to
beautiful lustre in about two hours
The manufacturer recommends
it for its protective qualities on
leather goods such as suitcases,
and on boats, toys, fishing tackle
and golf clubs.
The finish impaired to the
treated surface resists tempera-
ture changes, acids. hot greases or
water. alcohol, fruit Juices, dirt
and soap stains. Dirt and similar
substances can be wiped off with
just a wet cloth.
AL wax and old polish has to be
removed before applying this plas-
tic coating so that the finished
area will be smooth and unblem-
ished by streaks.
Any good wax remover can be
used and it should be followed by
wiping with turpentine or mineral
spirits. Badly SCARED or worn sur
faces, II lightly sanded, will be i'm
proved In appearance after coat
ing. However, this resinous plas-
tic coating can not be used on
either asphalt or rubber tile, nor
should 1t be used on new furniture,
musical instruments or automo-
biles.

not meet the actual need.
This total, 1t explained, would
merely maintain present housing
standards.
The councils report estimated
that between 100000 and 100000
new families would be formed
this year, and that new housing
accommodations will be needed
for a big proportion of the ex-
|pected large net migration" of
workers to meet labor require
ments in. defense areas.
Housing construction in 1852
must Of necessity fall considerably
short Of the annual rate which
would meet long-term needs" the
council said.
ITO replace structures which are
below standards of health and
decency. and to house the grow
ing population, an average of
nearly is million new non-farm
units a year would be required
throughout the 1885,"
Minimum of $4,000. -
The council contended in its
report that a large number of these
units should be publicly financed,
low-rent housing for low-income
families.
For 1852. the council said it be-
lieves "at least $4,000" public hous-
ing units should be built.
"An inadequate supply Of new
housing is part of the price we
must pay for national defense, ="
the council said. But the eco
nomic and social costs Of the hous-
ing deflcity can be aggravated or
mitigated, depending upon the
policies adopted.
For Areas I'm Need.
"Since addition to the housing
supply during the next two years,
at least. must be held down to
between one-ha1f and two-thirds
Of the actual need, it is essential
that the bulk Of the supply be
channeled into areas where it is
needed most. and that within these
areas and elsewhere there be con-
centration upon reasonably-p priced
housing, coupled with severe limi-
tation Of luxury housing.
I'm all housing construction
there should be strenuous efforts
to limit the utilization of critical
materials, such as copper, in view
of the fact that adequate housing
can be provided with available
substitutes"
The council said the proportion
of low-cost housing to the total
new housing supply should be
appreciably raised above recent
performance" in the interests OF
"a mobile and contented labor
supply in a defense emergency"

Double Duty Exhaust Fan.
A new double-duty electric fan
just introduced is a 16-inch COM
bination window ventilator and
portable fan. This combination
fan can be used as a window ex-
haust fan or snapped out of its
panel for use independently as a
portable fan. The manufacturer
says the unit can exhaust up to
l ,260 cubic feet of air in a min
ute, enough to deliver a new sup
ply of fresh air every two minutes
to two 10-by-13-foot rooms.
Installation of this model fan
for exhaust purposes requires
only four wood screws set in the
window frame. The fan is placed
on the inner side of the window
frame, so it does not interfere
with the normal opening and clos
ing Of the window sash.
The steel panel of the fan is ad-
Unstable for window widths from
"a to 36l2 inches. When snapped
out of its panel and used inde-
pendently, 1t can circulate 1880
cubic feet of air a minute. It is
finished in beige and chrome.
