FIBERGLAS CURTAINS.

mrs. M. B. B., BetheSdGD
Recently I read in RICH that
while fiberglas curtains were
beautiful and never needed
ironing they did not wear
well. I Immediately planned
to reply, because this has not
been my experience. Then I
got busy and almost forgot
about writing until today, but
after what just happened at
our house I'm going to take
time out and write right now.
I've just finished washing
six pairs of rufled f1berglas
curtains. 1t took less than an
hour. They are now back at
the windows. I didn't have to
iron them and they look as
pretty and perfect as they did
the day I bought them, which
was over a year ago. They
were so easy to wash. The
dirt runs right off. OF course,
you do have to wash them
gently by hand and be careful
about Snags from rings, etc,
just as you are when launder-
ing fine stockings or lingerie.
And while my f1berglas cur
tains show no sign of wear I
certainly don't expect them to
stand the same abuse that we
give the denim draperies in
the children's playroom. When
we get new curtains for our
room this fall, they are going
to be fiberglas. The fact that
they never have to be ironed
saves hours of work, and it
also saves the curtains because
many curtain mishaps occur
when they are on the ironing
board.

QUERIES?

(MrS. M. E., WdShingtonD
I have a set of wicker furni-
ture which is badly in need
of repair as the threads" are
ravelling. Is there some place
which does this kind of work.
or somewhere I can find out
how to do it myself?
Some time ago a reader
asked about mending the plas-
tic material on chairs which
had split. I have been watch
ing for an answer but have
failed to see one. I do hope
some one has a solution.
Have any of you readers had
any experience with the re-
frigerator defrosters which re-
tail for around SO. Are they
really satisfactory? Now that
summer is here, defrosting is a
semiweekly chore at my hous
and an inexpensive, workable
automatic defroster would be
Q lifesaver.
I do enjoy the RICH and have
found innumerable hints which
have helped make housekeep-
ing less irksome. Thanks for
the kindness of readers who
take the time to write and give
others the benefit of their
knowledge and experience!

vote was split three ways, and
the victor got about SO per
cent of the total. Is this re-
turn to the rule of a political
machine trend?
5. The Republican organiza-
ton of Cook County-in and
around Chicago - won seven
out of 13 judicial contests in
an upset where Democratic
rule usually prevails. This was
an unexpected show of
strength for the Republicans.
Is this a trend?
6. A Democrat was elected
to Congress in the sixth dis
trict of New Jersey in a Spe-
cial election wherein the Re-
publican nominee was not IN
dorsed by his Republican
predecessor and the leading
Republican newspaper in the
area refused to indorSe the
Republican candidate. The
party was split over rule by
a Republican boss. The sup
porters of the New Deal Re-
publican who had held the Of
flee switched in large num-
bers to the Democratic candi-
date, who pledged himself to
support his predecessors poll
cieS and won by a narrow mar
gin. Is this a trend?
7. A Republican Mayor was
defeated by a Democrat by
a close vote in Columbus,
Ohio, on charges that he had
been extravagant, hut all Re-
publican councilmen were
elected. Is this a trend?
8. A Republican who was
elected Mayor of Little Rock,
Ark, two years ago, thus over
turning an unbroken Demo-
cratic record of so years, was
reelected by an even bigger
majority this time. Is this a
trend?
9. The Republicans won Is

mayors over previous elections

the fact that the partys can
didate made much less of a
showing than is customary in
that State. Just one thing
was responsible for this: The
TACT that the State Democratic
organization, tightly controlled
by Senator Harry Byrd, had
betrayed the party'S liberal
candidate for the presidency
one year ago. throwing the
States electoral votes to Eli
senhoWer. A large percentage
OF the Republican candidates
remarkably large vote was
cast by disgusted Democrats.
They didn't obtain their re-
venge, but they gave the State
machine the worst scare it had
had in SO years.

likely to lapse before the con-
gressional elections next fall,

tional chairman, thinks it
will when the Republican

it will be isn't at all clear at

Hope for Paris Approval Of EDO
French Fear Of Losing Prestige in Central Europe,
With Strong Germony and Spoin4 Spurs Action
Constantine Brown

MADRID. Spain, (By Air
Mail-For. the first time in
nearly two years there is some
hope that the European de-
fenSe pact may be ratified by
the French Chamber, possibly
before the end of this year.
Spanish and foreign diplo-
mats in Madrid believe that
we may soon witness a sober
ing up on the part of French
parliamentarians. They attrib-
ute the possibility to two fac
tors.
/. Spain has now been
brought indirectly into the
European defense system.
2. The clear warnings to
France from Washington,
London and Bonn that Ger
many will start rearming next
year.
Heretofore, the representa-
tives of the IL political groups
in the French Parliament were
convinced that the present de-
fense system in Europe would
collapse without Frances par
ticipation.
There is no question that
because of its central geo.
graphical position, France is
an important cog in the de-
fense machinery. This was
even more true at the time
when our policies excluded
the participe ton of Italy and
Germany in the European
collective defense because of
the stern opposition of our
French allies.
During the last four years
we have hesitated to inject
into the Western coalition any
country which did not have
the approval of France.
Spain and Germany were so
bitterly opposed by French
public opinion that we hesi-
tated to enlist the support of
these two countries with their
enormous defensive military
potential
Evening star., 1953-11-05

Under milo pressure from
Washington the government
headed by former Premier An
tome Pinay did suggest bring
ing German forces into the
NATO as a part of the Euro
pean army. But these plans
were frustrated by a ram
bunctious 'Eational Assembly
which was determined to keep
Germany out OF the concert
OF European powers.
The policy OF appea3ing
France at any price was ended
early this year. The agree
ment with Spain gives us vital
bases in Southwestern Europe
and also a potential military
strength of some 100000 well
trained but unequipped Span
ish soldiers.
There are also clear indica-
tions that the rearmament of
Germany will begin before
next spring whether the
French parliamentarians like
it or not.
Under these conditions, it
is probable that the sabotage
of the European defense by
the French National Assembly
will come to an end.
The French politicians who
are quick to understand reali-
ties know that Frances role in
the Western coalition will be
drastically reduced once Ger
many and Spain are placed in
a position to raise armed forces
which are bound to exceed by
far those of France herself.
This realistic consideration is
likely to induce the splinter
parties in the National AS
Sembly to support the govern
ment in ratifying the EDO,

would be useless and detri-
mental to- Frances prestige in

There was a pattern in
Tuesdays elections but it was
local-not national.
The American people voted
as they always have before -
against corruption and candi-
dacieS tainted with a party
record of improper conduct or
maladministration and against
extravaganza in the handling
of public funds. They even
voted against those who made
"McCarthyisn" the issue in
the heart of New York City.
But the wishful thinkers will
see national trends. Maybe
the Democrats will gain in the
1854 elections, but there isn't
the slightest evidence on the
basis of Tuesdays elections to
warrant any such inference.
For example, here are the
most important election de-
velopments and some questions
they raise:
!. New DealiSm was defeated
in Virginia when tens of
thousands of Democrats who
supported Stevenson last year
voted the Republican ticket
for Governor this time in an
effort to defeat Senator Byrd's
candidate for Governor. Is
Byrd's victory and the repudi-
alton of New Deal policies a
national trend?
2. The Republican organiza-
tion in Philadelphia - driven
from power two years ago for
the first time in 10 years, as
a liberal" Democrat was
elected Mayor-came back this
week by defeating Mayor
Clark, one of the outstanding
supporters of Gov. Stevenson
in 1852. Is this a trend?
8. A Republican candidate
for Governor in New Jersey
who accepted the support of
the former Democratic ma
chine boss and who wrote a
letter asking a parole for a
labor leader convicted of ex-
tortion was defeated. The Re-
publican Party retained con-
troll of the Legislature. Scan

ments. and charges of hot

fers. have made the headlines
for months. Is this a trend?

corrupt political organiza-
tions in America, elected a

eral young Congressman, Cliff
ford Case, who had the seat
they have now lost.
Representative Case got the
word that he could not expect
support for Governor or Sen
ator so he accepted an excel
lent offer to head a Ford Foun-
dation project. Not only did
his party nominate a more
conservative candidate for
Governor, Paul Troast, but it
handed the House nomination
to a conservative as we'll.
The district which last year
gave Mr.. Case majority of
$4,000 elected a young Demo-
crat, Harrison Williams, jr., by
1000 votes. 1t also contributed
heavily to Mr.. Troast'S defeat.
On the basis of his congress
sional record, Mr.. Case could
have waged a clean-govern-
ment campaign thoroughly in
keeping with the Presidents.
Mr.. Troast's major handicap
was the letter he wrote inter-
ced1ng for the labor racketeer,
Joe Fay.
The Wisconsin upset which
first notified Republicans they
were in trouble is almost an
exact parallel. The late Rep

They were necessarily fought

demonstrate a trend that fore
casts the overthrow of the Re-
publican Congress next year.
The same trend, although
less discernible, can be found
in the New York mayoral elec-
ton. There, it is revealed in
the name of the successful
Democratic candidate, Robert
F. Wagner, jr. Not especially
strong IN his own right. Wag-

Conservative Repu blicans
swiftly seized upon their par

and elsewhere as a pretext for
forcing their own program
upon the reluctant President.
The President dismissed re-

the ballots were all counted,
the right-wingers were rushing
to the microphones to tell what
a beating the administration

1t is notice to the White
