ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

(From Mrs. P. M. D., McLeanJ
Mrs. P. O., Bladensburg: MY
husband installed interlocking
plastic tile in our bathroom. It
has been in use for about 2h
years, and has been very satisfac-
tory. We have an electric heater
quite close to it and it hasn't
shown any signs of cracking yet,
although we do try not to run the
heater too long at a time. The in
formation that came with the tile
said it would stand up to quite a
high heat (forget Just how many
degreeS) and also showed picture
OF some one hitting it with
hammer after it was installed. OF
course, a loose tile Zone held in
the hand, etc., would not stand
that. Ceramic tile can be installed
in an old houSe-my mother had
it done about eight years ago
but it takes some extra floor
bracing. Also, it is quite expensive.
Plastic tile cannot be cleaned with
securing powder because of
scratching.
Mrs. r. K. H., Washington: +
have couple of suggestions about
the baby who can't be fed in the
high chair because of wiggling. I
may be all off, but they're worth
trying. Something like that can
really get you down! First oe all,
maybe he's too hungry. Have you
tried giving him some of his milk
first? 1t might take the edge off
his hunger so he'd sit more peace
ably. I've had success with that
several times with my baby.
Another thing is that he may
be teething and something going
in his mouth sets him off. Rub
blng his gums might help even
though he may cry while the rub
blngs going on. Also, you might
try putting a small toy or another
spoon ir his hand. This might
help or it might make things worse
he might hit you with the spoon
instead of his hands. A piece of
sweiback might help if he has
learned what to do with it. You
could spoon in the food between
his munching. I hope some of
these suggestions help.
Mrs. A. F.. NJ, Washington: This
Is in regard to vacuum cleaners.
I do know that the upright clean
ers are considered to be superior
for a lot of rug cleaning and the
tank type for general cleaning, I
have the latter and think it's
much easier to drag around. I
use it for cleaning the bare floors,
venetian blinds and furniture. I
hardly ever use a dust cloth any,
more.
Mrs. L. M. R., Washington:
Possibly your nylon dress won't
cling so much when warmer
weather comes. The static elec-
trlcity Cor whatever) seems to
make such things worse in cold
weather.
Mrs. o, E. K: Chill sauce
doesn't have any grease in it, so
maybe a good suds of detergent
would remove the stain from your
ecru linen tablecloth. Chlorine
bleach shouldn't hurt linen and
probably wouldn't tighten the
ecru. I never have any troubles
getting any kind of tomato stains
out with plain laundering. OF
course, the longer stains stay In,
the more they "set".

IODINE STAIN.

L. R., Washington: To remove
iodine stains, melt a few crystals
OF sodium thiosulphate in small
amount of water. Apply with a
cotton swab. This does not re-
move, but it changes it to a silver
iodine, which is colorless. Try
an old piece of cloth and see

Hiroshima Bomb Pilot tSoysSpies
Tried to Penetrate Secret Base

Asked for further information,
press officers at the Pentagon said
they would look into the matter
and check the security officers
familiar with the case.
Revealed At Preview.
The story came out early today
when Col. TibbetS and top Penta-
gon officials attended the private
showing of new motion picture
based largely on Col. Tibbets' ex-
Iperiences.
Secretary of the Air Force Fin
letter asked Col. Tibbets. after
the film had been shown. whether
it depicted faithfully the security
problems at one of the most care
fully guarded spots in the United
States.
Col. Tibbets said he thought
the movie did just that. and then
ventured the information about
the spy attempt at Wendover.
Wendover, Col. Tibbets told Mr..
Finletter, was a busy bus and rail
stop. The base itself. he said, was
built on a fenced-off desert area
on the border between Nevada and
Utah, a section difficult to screen
completely even with highly
trained military police on hand.
The new movie, above and Be-
yond," was shown to an invited
audience at the small theater in
the headquarters of the Motion
Picture Association of America.
The film was based on Col. Tib-
oets' difficulties - personal and
professional as commander of
the 509th Composite Group set up
specially to develop the B-29 and
its crews as an A-bomb carrier
and to stage the atomic bombings
which just preceded the end Of
the war with Japan in 1945.

Taylor. playing the role of Col.
Tibbets. grapples with the prob
lem of keeping secret the true
purpose of his organization.
Col. Tibbets is stationed at Eglin

DR.. Urey Outraged
BY Death Sentences
In Rosenberg Case
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Ha:*s-
R. Urey. atomic scientist. was
quoted yesterday as amazed and
outraged by what he termed "un-
equal punishment" given the
Rosenberg atom spy team in COM
parison with sentences of other
atomic traitors.
The Nobel Prize winner ex-
pressed his views in letter. one
of 200 filed by the defense in a
plea for clemency for Julius Ros-
enberg and his wife Ethel. They
are scheduled to die next month
probably January Is.
One point in the clemency plea
by the defense is that other atom
traitors have gotten off with pris-
on sentences. The RoSenbergs
were sentenced to death 20 months
ago for conspiring to transmit
A-bomb secrets to Russia.
Cites GreenglaSs Testimony.
DR.. Urey was quoted in his let
ter as saying the Government
case rests on the testimony Of
Mrs. Rosenberg's brother and sis
ter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. David
Greenglass.
Il found the testimony of the
Rosenbergs more believable than
that of the Greenglasses." Dr..
Urey said.
However, accepting the verdict
as correct, I am amazed and
completely outraged by the un-
equal punishment that has been
given.
Il believe the Rosenbergs are
or have been Communists or very
sympathetic to communistic ideas.
1 regard such people as unreliable
generally, but I do not believe in
Furnishing people unless they COM
NIT crimes"
Groups Seek Clemency.
Several groups have sought
clemency for the RoSenbergs since
their appeals from their convic-
tions failed.
In 1850, Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin accused
Dr.. Urey of past affiliation with
numerous Communist front or
ganizations.
The scientist who helped de-
velop the first A-bomb replied
that Senator Mccarthy was an
ignorant politician who "as usual
doesn't know his facts"

cision, Controller General Lindsay
Warren said the General Account
ing Office would have no objec-
tions if any employe welfare or
recreation association entered into
specific arrangements with vending
machine companies for a certain
percentage of the proceeds.
1t was explained that the earlier
decision was concerned only with
barring Government agencies from
entering into deals with vending
machine companies on behalf of
Federal employees. Such contracts
are valid only when the employees
themselves. through their welfare
and recreation associations, enter
into agreement with the vending
companies, it was explained.
However. the Controller Cen
eral made it plain even in his new
decision that he is not satisfied
with the present situation.
He said Congress would be asked
to enact specific legislation to
spell out exactly just what type
of contract employe organizations
may enter into with vending ma
chine companies and to set a
specific percentage of returns the
employees may expect. The pres
ent system operates too loosely,
with no adequate control by
either Congress or the Govern
ment, it was stated.

NEW YEARS HOLIDAY-Quite
a few Government employees have
the impression that this Friday
has been, or will be, made an Off
cial holiday by President Truman,
the same as the day after Christ
mas.
Well. this is just wishful think
ing. The day will be a regular
workday. However, employees who
want to use their annual leave to
get a four-day Holiday will be
permitted to do so wherever pos
sible. New Years Day, of course,
lis an official holiday.
