yOW way 10 tnS SIOC1ly.
Always, Mrs. Kovacs made the little visit. to
say the prayer of thanks that she and her
husband, Rudy, were safe IN this country.
Eight months they had been here now.
Today, as she tiptoed softly down the car
peted aisle and settled herself in pew up
front, she heard ladies' voices in one of the
Sunday School rooms to the right. So many
rooms to this church, Mrs. Kovacs thought
proudly. Like chicks around mother hen.
: God would pardon her, surely, if she just sat
moment and listened to the ladies.
One of Mrs. KOvacs' great pleasures was
listening. She - Rudy, too i had learned
English long ago, but since coming to America
they had learned that Americans had way
all their own of speaking their English. If she
and Rudy were to be good citizens they must
learn that way, too. So they listened. In
stores, on the bus. Everywhere.
A wonderful thing. listening. Only last
evening, Rudy had come home from his car
pentering, kissed her, and said, Listen, Maria
:" He paused Importantly. laughter GRIN
king his eyes before he made the large state
ment. 'You have holes in your head!"
Holes? That means something about the
ears, maybe?"
He roared laughter 1T means you're the
poose. You know Gazy!'
Oh, Rudy was learning American English,
all right, working as he did with the men on
the houses. For him, the learning went fast.
But today, before she reached the church, she
had passed two girls. heard one of them say,
Hes cool real COOL" 1t didn't sound like
a flattery. This evening, she'd tell Rudy he
was cool real cool. That would even him
for his holes-in-the-head business.
IF SHE listened carefully now to these
ladies' talking in the Sunday School room, she
might better learn to say things, so that MIR.
Martin, the grocer, would again tell her, Mrs.
Kovacs, your English gets better every day" !"
That evening. when Maria put the stew,
and lettuce salad from their own garden, on
the kitchen table, she was fun of talk. The
church ladies, she told Rudy, were planning

going to sell cakes and pies, aprons. and towels.
Guess-towels. What kind of towels were
those? Rudy said he didn't know. but he'd
ask Henry tomorrow. Anyhow, Maria went
on, the church ladies were going to sell lots of
things. And with the money help the DPS.
Rudy stopped chewing. "Us?"
Maria laughed. "Now. you're the head

remembering the overheard phrase. 1t didn't
sound quite right, but no matter. Must be
the new ones read in the paper. Two new
families, read. Not from our country-I
mean, our used-to-be country. Couldn't be

Eight months. We're Americans.
He thought moment, nodding. ia. Then
his face frightened. Nov you cook with gasr'
That Rudy! Sure, she cooked with gas, but
he hadn't meant the stove. She could tell.
But she wouldn't ask what he did mean.
She'd make the pretense she knew.
She pushed back her plate, looked con-
tentedly around her kitchen. ''In bake the
bread to take to the ladies' bazaar. Two
loaves have my lace apron" She drew a
deep breath. She had so much!
SATURDAY afternoon, the big recreation room
in the basement of the church hummed with
voices. The long tables were covered with
things to sell. There was a table of cakes,
cookies and doughnuts A table displaying
needlework. A table of jellies and candy.
One table truly perplexed Mrs Kovacs
when she arrived and stood hesitantly in the
doorway. The card above the table said
White Elephant, yet there wasn't single
elephant on it. But there were vases, almost
like the new one she had bought for twenty
fve-cent piece at the variety store.
And there were 50 many people! She stood,
holding her covered basket, until she saw
Mrs. Brighton and the woman she'd heard
them call Betty Downing behind the cake
table. Mrs. Brighton and Mrs Downing were
both important church ladies. Maria ap-
preached Mrs. Brighton and, when she stood
in front of the cake table, there was one honi
bic moment when she was afraid she'd for
gotten every English word she knew. Mrs

Wants Evidence
OF Good Faith
From Soviet Union

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower said Thursday he has
no objection to conference OF
top leaders of the major powers,
but that he would first like to
see some evidence of good faith
from the Soviet Union.
And as yet, he declared, he has
seen no evidence of good faith on
the part of the Russians in their
talk of wanting world peace.
Eisenhower news conference
remarks were in reply to a re-
quest for comment on Prime Min
listers Churchill's speech earlier
this week urging high level con-
ference without great delay.
Eisenhower also declared:
Il have met no one in the
United States who does not want
peace"
The president permitted direct
quotation of that remark, made in
reply to a request for comment on
statements by Clement Attlee, for
mer British prime minister.
AS for Churchill's call for con-
ference Of the leaders Of the
major parties, the President noted
that the State Department sug-
gested Wednesday such a confer
ence should await proof Of the
Soviet Unions sincerity in talking
about peace.
The President recently said he
was willing to accept Soviet peace
overtureS at face value
His statement Thursday that
there has been no evidence of
good faith on the part of the Rus
slams seemed to indicate a bit Of
Impotence.
The President said emphatically
however, that he was willing to
take almost any kind of a chance
to promote peace in the world.

President Against The /
Combining Statehood Bills

WASHINGTON, IL President
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence today he believes Hawaiian
statehood should be handled sep.
arately on its own merits.
That was his answer to ques-
ton whether he opposes inclusion
of Alaska in a statehood bill for
Hawaii as proposed by a Senate
committee.
The chief executive said Hawaii
has a large population and World
War II record which clearly en-
titles the territory to the priv
ilege Of statehood He said he
doesn't like to see the issue COM
plicated by anything else.
Eisenhower took his stand on
the point as sharply divided
Senate Interior Committee met to
take another look at the bill.

German Bundesrat Is
First Body to Approve
European Army Treaty

BONN, Germany, Up West
German Chancellor Konrad AIDE
nauer won reluctant approval to-
day from his parliament's upper
house - the Bundesrat -. for the
European army treaty. Germany's
lawmakers thus became the first
legislative body to ratify the
treaty to set up a six-nation, two
million-man West defense force.
The Bundesrat approved the
army treaty and its related Allied
Bonn peace contract by compro-
mise formula under which the
upper chamber approved two les
ser sections of the treaties and
voiced no objections to the two
major sections.

CAIRO. R-Egypt's special rev.
dictionary court has sentenced
former Premier Ibrahim Abdel
Hadi and an Egyptian formerly
employed by the British to hang
on charges Of treason and plotting
with an unidentified foreign power
70 restore ex.King Farouk to the
throne.
Hadi, 57-year-old Saadist Party
leader, was sentenced after a three
day trial. The hearing for the sec
ond defendant, Ahmad Mohamed
Awad, lasted two hours and was
held In secret after the sentencing
Of Hadi yesterday.
Awad, an electrician, formerly
was employed by the British gar
rison which Egypt wants to expel
from the Suez Canal zone.
They were the first of some "a
persons scheduled 10 be arraigned
by the special tribunal on similar
charges.
The court also ordered the con.
fiscation of more than ia million
dollars Of Hadi's assets, most of
his holdings.
There Is no appeal from the sen.
tence but 1t is subject to the APP
proval Of Egypl's revolutionary
council which has held government
power since 1t ousted Farouk IA
months ago.
Although Hadi was charged with
conspiracy with a foreign power
to undermine state security" the
foreign power has never been Off
cially identified in public. During
his trial, key testimony concerning
the alleged plot was heard only
in secret and the courts finding
said only that he had been found
guilty on sir counts. The first was
the conspiracy charge.
Sources, all unofficial, variously
identified the plotting power as
Britain. the Soviet Union or "an
Eastern Mediterranean country re.
lated with NATO." The British
foreign office said in London the

didn't mean Britain.

the tiles. When the heating
system was shut off last summer
the tiles again butted one an
other. Is there anything we
could do to the floor to keep
this from recurring?
Answer: Evidently the heat
from the furnace has dried out
the moisture in the wood, and
also possibly caused the tile to
shrink to some extent. I believe
this condition could be overcome
by placing insulation between
the joints of the cellar ceiling;
then covering the joist spaces
with aluminium foil.
