WeIl-Designed Table Is Regarded as Rarity
By GIodys Miller

The maker of some of our best
furniture said recently, ANY de-
slener would come into his own
II he could design a flexible yet
comfortable dining table" He
could have added. land a chair
to go with it."
1t has always been a problem
to design good tables and chairs.
When rooms were large and space
was not at premium the problem
was not so difficult. Today every
inch Of space must be used not
once. but several times a day and
in many different ways.
The table should be small and
compact for the time it isn't in
use. It should be easy to enlarge
so that six or eight may be seated
with comfort. The leg interfer-
ence should be reduced to a min
ilnum.
AS dining tables are now also
used for bridge, canasta and all
types Of games, the height must
also be considered. Twenty-nine
inches rather than 80 makes it
more comfortable. Also chairs
with back and seats upholstered
are a boon if these games become
long, competitive sessions.
Although our modern kitchens
have more room for storage than
older kitchens. women still prefer
to keep their finer pieces of china,
glass, linen and silver isolated.
The buffet with china storage
placed above serves this demand
perfectly.
One dining room group in par
tlcular that will be available this
spring has a buffet with cabinets
for china that bears studying.
There are three sections of Eng
lish tray drawers behind cleverly
devised cabinet folding doors. In
the center, shelf that pulls out
and converts the cabinet into a
desk or provides space for a serv-

Democrats Refuse
Two Big Donations
Despite Cash Needs

The Democrats need campaign
money but National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell has turned
down two large proffered contri-
buttons. one in excess Of $100, 600
because he didn't like the source.
Mr.. Mitchell discussed the fund
matter as he left the White House
late yesterday but would not &c
into details nor give q clue to the
identity Of the potential donors.
The money was offered under
unacceptable circumstances" he
said. and he was fearful strings
would have been attached. He
stressed the offer did not come
from gambling interests.
He said the contributions no,
only would have been improper. in
his opinion, but would have VIC.
lated the law limiting individual
gifts to 5000.
In one instance. a specific sum
in excess Of 100000 was men,
toned. according to the chairman
In the other, he said, there was
no figure, but it could be assumed
to be substantial"
Mr.. Mitchell said ruefully that
he had not learned the secret" OF
getting big money easily for polit.
ical purposes. and commented that
the latest published figures show
the Republicans are collecting
about S. for every So raised BY
the Democrats.
He would :s1ot discuss the Nixon
case. He said he had talked about
the campaign to President Tru-
man.

Nixon Made Mistake
On Debt in Whittier

MISSOULA, Mont, Sept. "a
(CDM-Senator Nixon's conflict.
ing statements regarding the
amount he owes on a home at
Whittier. Calf, were explained
today, as "the mistake of a man
speaking from his heart-not his
notes."
The G. o. P. vice presidential
candidate owes $4,000 on his
$4,000 California home, a press
aide reported.
At one point In his radio-tele-
vision speech last night. the Sen
!ator had mistakenly stated he
lowed only $4,000.
Senator Nixon first reported his
debtednesS as follows:

and on which we owe $4,000.

Political reaction to Senator
Nixon's defense of his $4,000 po-
htical fund last night followed
strict party lines.
Gen. Eisenhower indicated to q
cleveland audience, which earlier
had heard Senator Nixon's dra-
matte plea. that he favored keep
ing his young running mate. The
crowd broke into thunderous ap-
plause as he said:
Il have seen many brave men
in tough situations. have never
seen any come through in better
fashion than Senator Nixon did
tonight" r7'
Gov. Stevenson, the Democratic
nominee. who earlier had urged
the American public to withhold
criticizing Nixon until the facts
were known, withheld his own
comment in Baltimore.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, Of
South Carolina said Senator Nixon
did not answer the questions
that people want to know" No
matter what happens, he said,
the party has been hurt. IF
Nixon resigns 1t would upset the
ticket, if he doesn't it Weakens

Senator Nixon's Los Angeles talk

Notwithstanding Senator Nix
on's request that his hearers last
night let the Republican National
Committee know what they
thought of him, the headquarters
was taken by surprise by the sud-
den response.
Only three telephone operators
were on duty there last night.
The supervisor was watching the
telecast OF Senator Nixon on a
floor above the switchboard room
lat the headquarters. Before she
could get down to the room the
switchboard was swamped.
Something like 1000 calls never
got through. according to word
from New York. Most of those
were re-routed to Republican or
|ganization Offices in that city with
a promise that the messages would
be forwarded here later.
Same Response Elsewhere.
The same sort of response was
reported in many other parts of
the country. Newspapers in most
cities were deluged with requests
for the address Of the Republican
National Committee in Washing
ton-a detail which Senator Nixon
apparently forgot to provide.
Western Union officials said that
large numbers of kilograms from
all parts Of the country were sent
direct to Gen. Eisenhower and
Senator Nixon.
Many Of the messages went to
State or city Republican organ
izations. The Dallas, Tex, q. O. p.
Office said it got TOO calls in an
hour. Minneapolis headquarters
received more than 5000 tele-
grams within o few hours after
the speech. ~
