AChiId's
Room
By Pauline Groves

It's easy to get carried away
with huffs and ruffles and too
trick ideas for a child's room.
Why not, instead, consider the
c1ild'S needs and plan the
room accordingly?
Here's an idea that's at
tractive enough to please any
mother, but practical, too, for
easy upkeep. Let the bed dou-
BILE as a sofa by framing it with
shelves. Because it is on cas-
ters, the bed pulls out effort
lessly. and the homemaker has
no trouble making it up each
morning.
The shelves provide storage
for toys and books and make it
simple for the youngster to put
his possessions away, usually
a point of contention between
mother and child. And be-
cause they're simply styled,
they can be used through the
years as the child's interests
change from toys and games to
books, records and radios.
The construction offers no
problem to the man who likes
to make things And possibly
you might have some varia-
tions that would adapt the idea
to your own child's needs. For
example, bedside chests could
be incorporated into the de-
sign, so the drawers would offer
concealed storage and the top
be handy for lamps. Or maybe
you would prefer a row Of mar
row shelves for stacking books
or painting equipment.
Note that all materials used

are simple and sturdy. asphalt
tile on the floor, cotton fabric
for the bedspread. Shelves
wear q natural finish that re-
sists flngermarks. Whatever
your selection Of fabrics and
finishes, remember to keep the
room simple. Both you and
your child will enjoy the room
scheme more that way.

There is no intimation Of de-
fiation in Producer Wallis treat
ment Of his latest Lewis-Martin
saga. He lets it run just a little
short of two hours on the not
unreasonable assumption that
this rewrite of an old Paul
Dickey Charles Goddard farce is
pretty funny stuff.
The reshaped script by a team
of four writer's has got every
thing, plus. 1t offers gags, songs.
dances, dialogue Sculptured to
the talents of the two male stars.
and what appears to be endless
free invention on the part OF the
irrepressible Lewis. The pace at
which these are unreeled is not
always exactly right, but the
infinite Lewis and Martin public
has never been known to bubble
about such a technical point as
tempo.
All it asks is the sight Of the
boys going about their work with
one of the most reckless enthu-
siasms in contemporary laugh
making.
It is something of a new set
ting for the comics that is pro-
vided in Scared Stiff" This is
principally an island off the coast
of Cuba. Here the heroes come
to escape the vengeance Of a
gang whose girl they have too
enthusiastically befriended. Here
also they meet up with Miss
Scott, which is good, and a me-
lange of bats, ZombieS, and other
island flora and fauna, which
is terrifying.
Naturally the one who is
scared stiffeSt by Caribbean
island life is Lewis. Not every
one of his moments of terror is
equally funny, but they provide
the picture with a fairly sus-.
tanned quality Of comedy.
BY accident, possibly, there is
one gag in the Palace farce
which provides high entertain
ment for that minority which re-
fuses to think Martin and Lewis
the funniest pair alive. Indeed
they are given sound ground for
arguing that the real high point
in the picture is that in which
Frank Fontaine, uncredited in
the cast, plays a comedy drunk.
In addition to Miss Scott, and
Dorothy Malone who plays the
amorous gangsterS' girl, Scared
Stiff" re-introduceS another
feminine decoration moviegoers
may have been missing lately.
This is Carmen Miranda whose
demeanor, complexion and &C
cent used to belong in every pic
ture with q Latin flavor. Miss
Miranda has changed little
since she was so prominent dur
ing Hollywood's golden age, as
evidenced in her fiery interpre-
tation of her personal anthem,
Mama 20 Quiero."
The musical score Of Scared

Senators investigating the State

and others described as Com

circulated in overseas libraries.
The Senate's permanent in

lican, of Wisconsin, aired the
charges in a stormy public hear
ing with Browder, former head
of the Communist Party in the
United States, and other wit

Senator Mccarthy said three
books by Browder have been used
in the libraries operated by this

Browder clashed heatedly with
Senator Mccarthy and said he

Allen, as he was addressed by

All told, So aircraft were in the

only the B-36'S. The others pre-

measure radioactivity in the air
and perform other similar tests.
An Air Force spokesman said:

By Froncis P. DouoIos

Radio Corp. of America an
nounced today it is ready to
start color television broadcasts
now and to produce sets which
will receive them.
It urged that the Federal
Communications Commission au-
thorize such steps without hold
ing hearings. 1t said the color
broadcasts would be "compat-

could receive the broadcasts in
black and white.
Executive Testifies.
RCA's announcement was
made by DR.. Elmer w. Engstrom,
vice president in charge of RCA's
laboratories division. He was the
first witness before the House
Commerce Committee as it
opened hearings seeking to de-
termine when color TV would be
available to the public.
President Frank Stanton of

System, is scheduled to be heard
tomorrow.

was approved by the FEC in

DR.. Engstrom said RCA has
spent $40 million developing its
color TV system, S. million in
the last year.
He said field tests for COM
patible television broadcasts have
been completed. The FEC has
ruled that completion of such
tests is a prerequisite to granting
any petition for new color tele-
vision standards. DR.. EngStrom
said also that since 1949 the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. has been
conducting experimental broad
casts from washington and New
York.
