64O,OOO-MiIe Goal Sef
For Telegraph Expansion

The Defense Production Admin
1stration has set a goal for expan-
sion Of the Nations telegraph
system by $4,000 miles In the
next 21a years.
The expansion goal was fixed
to guide Government agencies in
granting Federal aid in the form
Of tax benefits, loans and other
measures. DPA said the expan-
sion would represent an invest
ment Of $50 million. It added
that only $40 million of the pro-
gram is eligible for Government
assistance.
Such an expansion would bring
the country'S total telegraph
system to a total Of 81 million
circuit miles.
DPA also set these other expan-
sion goals: Miscellaneous metal
working equipment, $40 million
by January /, 1854, with about
80 per cent of the needed capacity
already qualified for aid: indus
trial storage batteries, mostly for
military use, $14.5 million, with
tax benefit certificates issued for
plant and facilities for virtually
all the expansion; gears and gear
drives. $40 million, Of which about
IS per cent has been arranged
for; other mechanical power
transmissions, 81 million, and
high voltage switch gear. $50
million.

Unfamiliar Harmony al
Club Dedication Here

District Republican faction s
raised their voices today in un-
familiar harmony, assured by
party leaders that unity can bring
victory to the Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket next November.
Amid such professions Of con-
fidence, the COP. launched its
presidential campaign and set
about the task of healing wounds
inflicted in the recent Republican
primary here.
Case Sees Victory.
Representative Case of New
Jersey. who helped dedicate the
Eisenhower Nixon Club headquar-
ters in ceremonies late yesterday.
told $50 members of the party that
victory is within sight out warned
that Republicans must display an
understanding Of the need for
social legislation.
IF we conduct ourselves cor
rectly," said Mr.. Case, I'VE can
win" He explained that Demo-
cratic achievements should not be
underestimated and said the G.
o. P. would have to preserve social
gains. He declared the people will
not be denied their legitimate
needs.
MIR. Case described Gen. Eisen-
hover as the presidential candi-
date best qualified to sustain the
free world against Soviet aggres-
sion. He said also his party should
capitalize on the demands for an
end to corruption and for a.
change in administrations.
Twits Democrats Criticism.
The New Jersey lawmaker twit-
ted Democrats for belittling Gen.
Eisenhower now after having
urged him to become their candi-
date four years ago. He said the
Republican nominee had made an
outstanding contribution in inter-
national diplomacy as well as on
the fields Of battle.
George L. Hart, jr., secretary
OF the Republican Central Com
mittee. presided over the cere-
monies at club headquarters, 1925
I street NV. The chairman, Jo-
seph c. McGarraghy. is recover
ing from an operation.
Mr.. Hart stressed the impor-
tance of party unity, of raising
money for the campaign treasury
and Of helping get out the alb
sentee Republican votes. He them
introduced Col. L. Corrin Strong,
president Of the Eisenhower -NixonI
Club.
Echoing the harmony theme
Col. Strong related that he, Mr..
McGarraghy and Republican Ma
tional Chairman Arthur E. Sum-
merfleld conferred recently and
agreed that sacrifices would have
to be made by all party factions.
In the primary last spring, Col.
Strong led the Eisenhower sup
porters but lost out to the Nc
Garraghy organization. which
backed Senator Taft.
Calls Stevenson Dangerous.
Although Col. Strong described
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
nominee. as a man of integrity,
he said Mr.. Stevenson is "a dan
gerous man" and must be beaten
at the polls.
Lewis T. Brueninger, chairman
OF the clubs finance committee,
spoke briefly. Two cousins of Gen.
Eisenhower were introduced. They
are L. A. Snead and L. T. Snead.

threads break at the same time or
until neither thread breaks. They
may both need to be loosened or
tightened in or below.
2. If the lower thread breaks,
tighten the upper tension by turn,
ing the adjusting nut about one
fourth of a turn to the right. Make
another diagonal seam and test the
stitch again Repeat if necessary,
changing the upper tension by
slight turns until tensions are ball
anced-that is, until both threads
break. Again if the cloth Fuckers
follow directions in 8.
3. If both threads break, no ad-
justment is needed unless the cloth

then adjust the upper tension as in

whole length of the needle should
follow through" the needle hole in
the same position in which the
point entered it.
THREADING-Re to your in
struction book. The thread should
run from the spool to the upper
tension, to the thread take-up, and
then to the needle. Various guides
hold the thread in the correct pO-
sitiOn as it feeds to those three
main pOints-tension take-up and
needle Pass the thread through
the needle from the side with the
long groove to the side with the
short groove.
Place the bObbin in it's case or
shuttle. Pull the thread under the
lower or bObbin tension, according
TO the instruction book. In most
machines the bObbin should rotate
in a cOunterclOckwis direction as
the thread unwinds. If the shuttle
is not threaded correctly, the
thread may catch and break, Oh
loops may form in the stitching
along the top side of the cloth. II
the bobbin is put in the bObbin
case incorrectly, the case may un-
! thread.
STITCH LENGTH CONTROL
Different machines have different
types of control for adjusting the
/ length of the stitch. This cOntro
should be free to move so that il
can regulate the stitch over the en-
/ tire range of stitch lengths pos
( sible on the machine. During
cleaning and Oiling, the screw, lev
er, or slide that adjusts this con
troll may have been set for a yer!
short stitch. If the control is Sc
( for an extremely short stitch, The
! feed dog will not feed the clotl
through the machine. To correc
this, increase the length of stitcl
until the feed dog moves fOrwar'
and backward as well as up ant
down.
TENSIONS - Upper and lowe
tensions must be balanced to pro
duce a perfect stitch. The uppe
tension varies in location on dill
. ferent machines. 1t may be on tn
faceplate, on the face of tn
needle bar housing. on the front c
, tthe needle-bar housing, or on In
upper arm Of the machine head.

This week let's continue clean
ing and adjusting the sewing
machine.
NEEDLE - Sewing machine
needles come in many styles, diff
fering as to needle length and
shape of the shank. Each style of a
given brand has it's own number
Each style can be used in a num-
Der of different machines.
The needle should be of the cor
rect length, sharp and straight. It
needs to be set in the needle-hOld-
ing clamp that the short groove on
{ the needle faces the shuttle point or
hook as it passes the needle. In all
the newer machines the needle
sets up against a stop is in the
needle bar.
To make sure a needle is the
/ right length, watch the shuttle as
ii crosses the needle during stitch
ing The point or hook of the shut
tie should cross the needle so that
the shuttle point enters the loop
of thread at it's broadest point to
form the stitch. Too short or too
long a neeCle or one set too high
or too low causes skipped stitches.
On some machines a needle that is
too loose will break or bend or
cause the upper thread to break.
It's a good idea to scratch two
marks in the paint on the needle
to indicate correct length between
end of shank and eye of needle to
guide you when buying q new
needle.
A dull or blunt needle pulls
threads, causing side Fuckers when
stitching. To sharpen, take the
needle between the thumb anC
middle finger, roll it and at the
same time draw it over a fine
emery stone. Guide with the fore,
finger.
Replace a needle that is bent Of
badly blunted or one with such t;
sharp eye that 1t breaks the thread
A bent needle in the machin,
} may strike the edge of the presse
foot, the edge of the needle hole
D The needle plate, or the edge of tn
shuttle. If this does not break tn
/. needle, it will blunt it. It may ais
rOughen the edge of the presse
foot and the needle hole.
To make a rough test for needl
