Senators Attack Plan
To Abolish Defense
Economy Agency
BY the Associoted Press

Two Southern Democratic Sem
ators today urged President
Eisenhower to change his mind
about wiping out a defense
agency they said saves billions
of dollars for taxpayers.
Senators Long of Louisiana
and Stennis of Mississippi pro-
tested the proposed abolition of
the Office Of Director of In
stallations, set up by Congress
eight months ago.
Senator Long, in a statement
that questioned whether Gen.
Eisenhower even understood
what this Office was doing, said
in statement:
Il entertain the hope that the
President will fully inform him.
self and reconsider this ill-ad-
viSed action"
Stennis Urges Study.
Senator Stennis. who got Con-
gress to set up the special watch
dog agency, said in an inter-
view:
Il think the President should
personally examine the facts and
consider amending the plan"
Both lawmakers had reference
to the Presidents plan to re-
organize the Defense Depart
ment. The plan was sent to
Congress Thursday and, by law,
goes into effect so days from
then unless either the Senate or
House rejects it by a clear ma
jority.
Congress must accept or reject
such plans as a whole. although
amendments may be made in
separate legislation later with
Senate and House approval and
the Presidents signature.
Called Birdie" on Waste.
Senator Long, who has been
feuding with what he calls the
high brass in the Pentagon,"
said the new watchdog office had
saved the taxpayers billions of
dollars by putting "a bride on
the most outrageous type of
military waste and extrava-
gance."
Senator Long said Congress
set up the agency while Gen.
Eisenhower was running for
President and so "it is unlikely
that President Eisenhower would
have known about the efficiency
and unpublicized accomplish
mentS."
"The military brass fought to
prevent this Office being estab-
lished and has since sought to
abolish it because it has been
effecting savings of vast millions
of dollars every day of the year."
Senator Long said.
He credited Frank Creedon,
who heads the Office, with reject
ing a request for SIS billion for
military construction by the
Army, Navy and Air Force be-
cause they still had unspent bill
lions.
"The abolition of this office,
with its mere 20-odd employees,
will restore to the brass the COM
plete control of military con-
struction which is denied them
under the present arrangement
Senator Long said.
Secretary to Fix Policy.
H. Struve Hensel, general
counsel of the Committee on
Department of Defense Organ
ization, which helped draft the
reorganization plan, told news
men yesterday it would be up to
the Secretary of Defense to set
policy about the roles of the three
armed forces.
Mr.. Hensel added that, of
course, the President would
supersede the Defense Secretary
in such matters.
The committees full report,
which was the basis for the rec
concentrations sent to Congress,
was made public last night. 1t
contained this terse comment:
1.-THE Secretary of Defense must
be able to clarity the roles and
missions of the services"
The reorganization committee
was headed by Nelson Rookie
feller.

Why Grow Old?
Better Not
.JeWelry
BY Josephine Lowmon

1t is amazing how folks can
have the best intentions and the
finest basic qualities and then
ruin it all by the face the public
sees. Often this face" is the
product of timidity or self-con-
sciousnesS or the fear of being
hurt. Let us name our outward
appearance an accessory" be-
cause it often betrays our basic
style and quality.
The same thing is true OF
clothes. You can wear the finest
models in the finest materials
and lines and then junk it all
up with inappropriate acces-
sorieS.
We see women all the time
who wear too much jeWelry
whether real or costume. They
sometimes have bracelets and
pins and a choker and earrings
and Sequins on at the same
time. A handsome bracelet and
necklace and earrings can be
worn at the same time if they
and your costume are not too
ornate.
Your accessories can make or
break your chic. I have noticed
that many women who are past
early youth seem to have ten
dency to use accessories which
are too much and too many. Per-
haps this is a perfectly natural
attempt to make up for the
birthdays. Anyway it is some
thing we should watch.
Remember, too, that your fig
ure must play part in the ac-
cessorieS you choose for the most
pleasing effect. A petite woman
should not wear big earrings OF
very heavy beads; a tall gal can
get away with them. The short
woman should not carry a large
bag although she should not GO
to the other extreme and carry
a tiny one.

|WCTU Leader Hits Sale
.Of Alcohol to Servicennen

The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union of the District
was to close it's 10th annual con-
vention today at the First Con-
gregational Church, with install
lation of officers and adoption
of a program aimed at sale of
liquor on military installations
and beer advertising on tele-
vision.
| Delegates yesterday were
urged to appeal to President
Eisenhower concerning the new
armed services regulations con-
tinuing sale of beer to enlisted
men and permitting sale of
liquor in officers and non-com
clubs and package liquor stores
on bases.
Miss Elizabeth A. Smart, di-
rector of legislation for the
National WCTU, charged that
the new regulations violate the
existing law of 1901" which
prohibits sale of intoxicants
upon any premises used for
military purposes by the United
States"
Miss Smart said that the Sec
retary of Defense was given
power to clean up taverns in
the vicinity of military camps
by the amendment that gave
him power to make these regu-
lations, but it was apparent
from them "that he does not
intend to do So"
The responsibility therefore
falls on the President, she de-
clared, "since his administration
will be held responsible fol
them (the regulations), espe-
cially since they are in violation
of existing laws"
The delegates also were tolo
yesterday not to count on legis-
lation ''to save America from
alcoholism.
Addressing the afternoon ses-
sion, Henry F. Brown, director
of the Narcotics Control Service
of Washington, declared: Leg
islation will not bring Utopia
We must not expect our Con-
gressmen to do it. We must
educate the children and youth
of the Nation as we would edu-
cate them to be careful in cross
ing the street or playing with
fire."
Mr.. Brown claimed that edu-

spent by the liquor distillers and
brewers to advertise their prod
ucts over radio and in maga-
zines and newspapers.
sand now they are even in
vading the privacy of our homes
with television, enticing our
young people to try beer" he
added.
Mr.. Brown said there are all
ready 10 million confirmed So
cial drinkers" in the United
States, and that one out of nine
become alcoholics.
American parents must ac-
celerate the education of their
children. he added. to halt the
trend of alcoholism.
The afternoon program in
cluded a talk by Mrs. Frederic
N. Newburgh. on her observa-
tions of WCTU work in Japan
last spring.
Mrs. Guy F. Glossbrenner was
nominated. without opposition,
for reelection as president OF
the District WCTU.
Others nominated for Office,
also unopposed, are Mrs. George
A. Cook, first vice president;
Mrs. Floy I. Reehling, second
vice president: Mrs. E.. A. Ben

Why Not Let
Bygones Be
|Bygones?
By MurieI Nissen

OEAtb M4SO N4OOGNs lnree
years ago, when was IS and
Paul Is. we ran away to be mar
ried. Because of our ages, we
couldn't be married. but decided
to tell every one we were, any,
way, and lived together. When
I was about to become a mother,
tried to get Paul to marry me,
but he wouldn't. Finally I
pressed charges against him, and
we were all set for the ceremony
when his mother stepped in and
said she'd have the marriage an
nulled If we went through with
it. My baby was born in April,
last year. and we were finally
married just a year later. Now
Paul wants to take the baby to
see his folks, and they are al
ways asking me to bring her
down to see them. However, I'm
still bitter over what his mother
did. Am I wrong in my resent
ment? D. r.
ANSWER: For q couple Of
youngsters you two certainly have
had your share Of mistakes, and
at this point you should be
thankful that at last you are on
the road to a happy life together.
Why further complicate your
lives by refusing the olive branch
Paul's mother is extending?
Look ahead a few years. try to
visualize your own children at
Is or 16. Would you like to see
them involved in the sort Of mess
you and Paul made for your
selves? Can you, then wholly
blame your mother-in-law for
her attitude? Trying to keep her
son from marrying after he had
become a father was wrong, but
her error of judgment was GER
tainly no worse than yours. Why
not let bygones be bygones and
see what you can do to establish
and maintain a good family rela-
tionship with your people and
Paul's. You'll have enough ex-
planning to do to your daughter
when she grows up: don't add
the complication Of a strained
in-law relationship to 1t.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: All my
life I've been plagued by seN-
consciousness. I never have the
fun at dances, parties, etc, that
the other kids have. Can you
offer any help?
KITTY
ANSWER: The best cure for
your trouble is to think Of the
other person rather than your
self. When you're going to an
affair. brush up on a few things
that you think will interest your
friends. Keep tabs on their school
activities, then be ready to show
interest land don't fake the in
terest). Ask questions, If you
can't think of anything original
to say. Only by forcing yourself
to face people. to converse with
them, and to show an interest in
them, can you overcome that old
bugaboo-timidity.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: Our
17-year-old daughter has her
own car, and her boy friend
doesn't have one. Therefore, he
feels she should pick him up at
a designated place whenever
they have a date. When return
ing home he takes her to the car.
then let's her drive back alone.
MRS. S.
ANSWER: Cars are apparently
killing chivalry. / can easily see
where this arrangement is con-
venient for the boy friend, and
convenience" is probably all
your daughter means to him.
A considerate young man. truly
in love, would put his lady'S
welfare before his own. After
all, something might go wrong
with her car, and a gallant
escort would prove much more
useful than a guy patiently wait
| ing to be picked up.

The Gainsboro Branch
Library Vacation Reading
Club" will climax it's acti-
vities with a visit to the
"Children's Zoo" located
atop Mill Mountain Thurs
day. The Vacation Reading
Club has become an estab-
lished project at the library
through the years, and con-
tinues to remain a popular
favorite among the juvenile
readers.
Approximately 100 chill
dren have enjoyed a delight

colorful cardboard drawings
representative of the %

The theme "All America
Star Cities" Vacation Read
ing Club, an original idea
of the librarian, was inspir-
ed by the general pride ex-
hibited by our citizenry in
the nomination of Roanoke
as one of the top II All
American Award cities for
1862.
Each member of the
Reading Club received a star
with his name imprinted.
The number of books read
by each member is credited

GUS "All American Cities
according to their geograph-
ical location.
Another new and special
feature enjoyed by the chill
dren this summer was a
Vacation Reading Glass;
under the direction of Mrs.
Matte Morris, designed to
help the pre-school and ele-
mentary school pupils with
their reading problems. A
large group of enthusiastic
children attended this class
weekly to enjoy the varied
and interesting books espec-
tally selected for them. The
library provided a surprise
each week for the group in
attendance, and as the eli
