Wilson Admits Flaws
In Weapons Program,
Offers No Remedy
Bv Fonc;s P. Douolos

4N100AAA&SG1NASAA SSSSA
Wilson said yesterday that the
military organization for design
ing and procuring weapons could
prof1tably be overhauled.
But he indicated it would be
difficult to make a change while
the boys with the hammer and
sickle are breathing down our
necks."
His statements were made at a
hearing before the Joint Com
mittee on the Economic Report.
Other highlights Of his testimony
were:
/. Resumption of the price rise
since September. as indicated by
the Consumers Price Index, gives
warning that infiationary pres
sures still are very real. ''Tne
crucial test Of our determination
to curb imitation -. is Just ahead"
he said.
3 Years for Buildup.
2. He forecast three more years
for the defense buildup, with the
peak Of spending for the program
surmounted by the end Of 1854.
3. Efforts are being made to
ease the shock Of shortages to the
civilian economy, but the shortages
will last through this year and.
to a lesser degree. through 1858.
In the case Of some materials,
particularly copper. he did not
foresee any substantial relief be-
fore 1854. 'and very likely not
fully then"
The question of military pro-
curement was brought up by
Representative Patman. Democrat,
Of Texas, who said to Mr.. Wilson
he saw no reason why the military
should not turn over procure
ment to YOU"
Must Keep System.
Mr.. Wilson said the question Of
relieving the military Of the
deadly procurement and produc-
ton" problems had been discussed.
But, he said Of the present sys-
tenn. We've got it and we've got
to live with it," He said it could
not be turned over to a civilian
organization within two or three
years.
He pointed out that Congress
had set up the Munitions Board
to improve the system. He said
he could think of a number of
changes in the system of design,
research, development and pro-
curement which could be made.
Price Stabilizer Michael v. Di-
Sale issued a statement last night
marking the first anniversary of
the general price freeze and say
ing:
1T is gratifying to realize that
after a full year of operating un-
der our price control system the
cost of living has been held to a
very moderate increase"
He also referred the the Con-
sumer's Price Index. In a report
on Friday it was shown this index
had pused it's way up to q new rec
ord between mid November and
mid-December.
Price Rise Lower.
Mr.. Disable pointed out the rise
since last February Is was only
2.9 per cent compared to 10 per
cent rise in 1850. But he to warned
Of heavier infationary pressures.
ut is also significant" he said,
"that the latest increase in the
cost of living index is attributed
to rising food costs and to higher
prices for miscellaneous goods and
services, such as medical costs,
hair cuts and beauty-shop serv-
ices.
Under the law OPS cannot pre-
vent increases in the price of foods
which are selling below parity at
the farm level. and most foods are
still below this. In addition, pro-
fessional services are exempt from
control. and the right to control
prices Of barber shops and beauty
parlors was taken from the agency
by the Congress last summer"

How You Can Make Your Rooms Alert, Attractive
By Glodys Miller

The director Of one Of the larger
western decorating studios lunched
with me recently. I asked her
what decorating problem her
many decorators met most often.
Unhesitantly she answered,
How can those between the ages
Of 40 and so who own good ira
ditional furniture make their
rooms seem alive. alert and at
ltractive?" .
Few realize that good decora-
ton stems from q definite philos-
ophy for the way a family wants
to live and some understanding
that interior decoration is not
Just how to do. but incorporates
all Of the elements Of good design
and art.
Furniture and furnishings must
be properly proportioned and in
scale to the room. The pieces
must be arranged to give personal
comfort.
The colors and patterns must
be well distributed and properly
balanced. There must be some
family relationship between the
newly selected furnishings and
those long lived with. BY this
I mean, it is not easy to mix
overly ornamented, formal styles
with simple clean-cut ones, al
though some contrast is possible. |

| New Silver Cleaner
And Screen Enamel
Placed on Market
By D. M. Derwin

It's almost universal, this love
Of silver-old and new, sterling
and plate.
And just as universal is the tre-
Amendous dislike that is attached
to cleaning and polishing all sill
yer. That dislike. however, need
no longer exist, thanks to a silver
cleaner now on the market.
This silver cleaner removes tar
nish quickly. Simply dip your
silverware into the solution, rinse
it in water and then dry it. The
tarnish disappears. For large
pieces. apply it with a cloth or
brush, rinse and dry.
Most silver will clean In an in
slant dip. Badly tarnished pieces
should be allowed to remain in the
solution for one to two seconds,
then rinsde in the usual way. In
extreme cases. this process should
be repeated a few times. Ornate
pieces are also easy to clean.
In addition to cleaning silver, 1t
works well on copper cooking
utensils, costume jewelry. lamps,
ash trays, door knockers. andirons
in fact any article made of sill
yer, gold, brass or copper. 1t
should not be used on pearls. coral
or other porous materials.
| Screen Enamel.
A screen enamel that gives
weather and rustproof protection
to all types of screens without
clogging the wire mesh, has re-
Gently been marketed. Available
lin copper-tone and in color, this
enamel is also styled to decorate
screen wood frames, indoors or
out.
Designed to prevent rust on
galvanized and steel screens, 1t
also is applicable for copper and
bronze screens which generally do
not rust but oxidize and streak
sashes, sills and sidewalks. This
new screen enamel prevents such
oxidization and staining.
The enamel makes screen paint
ing easier. It is simple to apply
with brush or roller. It dries
evenly and smoothly, with a fine
lustre in just a few hours. One
quart can coat more than 10 or

Before painting, screens and

Question: During driving
rainstorm we get leak in the
kitchen bay. It is caused by. rain
seeping through tiny cracks be-
tween the cement mortar and the
stone wall above the bay. What
can I use to seal up these small
cracks?
Answer: If they are very
small, it might be possible to seal
them by wiping the joints with a
mixture of portland cement and
water. Tt should have the con-
|sistency of a thick cream. Before
applying this mixture, wet down
the joints thoroughly with clear
water.

that it has worms or .termites in

Answer: II there are holes in
the surface of the wood, spray
each hole with kerosene or a
chemical wood preservative and
then brush all of the pieces of
lumber with a chemical wood pre-
servative. If this lumber is to be

Question: What is the easiest
way to remove wax crayon marks
from our. cement sidewalk?
Answer: Scrape off the thickest
part Of the crayon with knife
blade and then cover the re-
mander of the discoloration with
a mixture of powdered whiting or
lfuller's earth and benzine or gaso-
line. Cover this with a piece of

It's possible to paint a small
house entirely from ladders. but
it is much easier to work from a

ladders. The foot of a straight
ladder should be one quarter as
far from the wall as the ladder

JUST IN CASE you may forget
exactly how to measure hay in the

unless the contracting parties mu-
tually agree otherwise.

ment law:

otherwise agreed to between the
contracting parties, the following
shall constitute the legal measure
ment for hay in stack in the State
of Montana: 422 cubic feet shall
constitute a ton of clean, native
blueioint hay, after 80 days and up
to three months settlement in stack;
when the same shall have been in
the stack three months or over, 342
cubic feet shall be considered ton.
Five hundred twelve cubic feet
shall constitute a ton of alfalfa or
rough sloughgrass, after the same
shall have been in the stack 80 days
or more and up to one year. Four
hundred and fifty cubic feet con-
stitute ton of clean timothy and
clover, after the same shall have
been in the stack 80 days or more
and up to one year.
AS to all other kinds of hay, 512
cubic feet shall constitute ton
after the same shall have been in
the stack so days or more and uI

ment, to-wit: The width and length
of the stack shall be measured, anc
the distance from the ground agains
one side of the stack to the GROUND
against the other side of the stack
directly over and opposite, shall b,
taken linear feet and inches an,
then the width shall be substracte,
from the measurement over tn
stack, as above indicated, the re
suit divided by two, and the resu1
50 obtained multiplied by the widtl
and the result thus obtained multi
piled by the length, which will Civ
the number Of cubic feet containe
in the stack, and the tonnage sha
