"LANIER PLACE.

l
Dear Sir:
This summer visited major por-
ton of the Eastern half Of the country,
and never have seen so many flies in
public places, restaurants, diners,
dairies rest rooms and hotels. The
cause is, as science has admitted. due
to the failure of DDT to prove effective
against the newer species of insects.
But the public seemingly ignores
this failure or refuses to consider the
fashioned but effective way of being
rid of these pests People, and women
especially, are Mortified at the idea of
sticky fly paper. And so, to the detri-
ment of public health, esthetics re-
mains triumphant.
Sincerely. D. S."
The fly is a perennial problem.
1t has been since the days when the
poet William Blake invited the insect
to sip from the edge of his cup.
In the centuries following, the fly
was transformed from just pest and
nuisance into a menace.
It's ubiquity gave it a unique oppor-
tunity to put unseen filth on clean
food
1t flew from the garbage can and
manure pile to the cleaneSt damask
and silver: it buzzed around babyS
innocent head. and lightly brushed his
cheek
1t was only in comparatively recent
years, as time goes, that screens at
windows became almost universal.

A False Comparison

Although it is difficult to understand Just
what the point may be, a number of people
are contending that Secretary of State Dulles
was just as blind to the charges against Alger
Hiss as Harry S. Truman was to the charges
against Harry Dexter White.
Even if this were valid comparison, which
1t is not, it would merely prove that Mr.. Dulles
was no more alert than Mr. Truman. And
while that might reflect unfavorably on Mr..
Dulles, it certainly would not improve the posi-
ton of Mr.. Truman.
The comparison however is not valid. The
FBI sent reports to the President concerning
White. If he did not see them, that is the
fault of his own staff organization. No reports
on Hiss were sent to Mr.. Dulles and his blind
ness" occurred long before the incriminating
testimony of Whitaker Chambers and the
revelation of the pumpkin papers (Mr. Tru-
man, incidentally, continued to call the House
committees investigation of Hiss red herring
after the pumpkin papers had been produced)
The big difference between the two situa-
tionS, however, was this: Mr.. Dulles in letter
written in 1946-about two years before the
pumpkin papers turned up-Said he had heard
of accusations involving the loyalty of Hiss.
But, he added, he didn't believe them Mr..
Truman said that when he sent Whites
nomination to the Senate on January %, 1946.
he did not know of the charges against him.
He did not learn of them until February or
6-too late to stop the Senate from confirming
White. When he finally did learn of the
charges, instead of disbelieving them, he took
the steps to watch and try to trap White which
he has described.
The two situations are not comparable.

Appeal for Shooting Victim

I have read articles in The Star
commencing police for their splendid
detective work in the case of Elsie
Lemke. All well and good, and
know every one in the area is glad
to have the assurance of greater
efficiency in our law enforcement body.
However, when I arrived in the
Senate Office Building found an ap-
peal on my desk for blood donors who
have "a" or "B" type to go to the Red
Cross to help Miss Lemke who des-
perately needs transfusions If the
immediate need is made known, am
sure there will be some response that
will help the victim of this tragedy who
is still critically i'll and in need of help.

DC. Chasing NickeIs but Losing Dollars?

100000 dwellings have been built in
the last 13 years, with the population
jumping more than million in that
period.
The outSize proportions Of this rapid
growth have confronted municipalities
and the State with mammoth civic
problems. The way they are handling
them offers lesson to the Washington
area.
Thomas l.. Phillips, president of the
Washington Real Estate Board, said
here, for example, he believed Washing
ton officials could study this area with
profit.
"There is ne more significant example
in America of the profound effect Of
the automobile upon cities than Los
Angeles" he said.
This is literally a city on wheels.
Look around you on the streets and you
are struck by the fact that it is, at the
same time, city of almost no pedes-
trianS.
1.-THE automobile has taken people
off their feet and has almost eliminated
public transportation in Los Angeles.
This area has many lessons for us in
Washington"
He said he was impressed BY the
city's freedom from street parking and
by the relatively great amount of down.
town offstreet parking.
MY feeling is that in Washington
we've got to find additional offstreet
parking space and get cars off the
streets. Streets should be devoted to
the movement of traffic and not to the
storing of automobiles. Washington,
it seems to many of us, is busy chasing
nickels and losing dollars, through use
of parking meters"
The Washington Real Estate Board
president said more and more attention
is being focused on the problems that
cities face, such as rehabilitation,
traffic, parking and the need to pro-
tect the downtown area of metropolitan
regions, such as Washington.
1.-TWO of the big problems we have
in Washington in common with many
other cities are how to find ways to
move traffic in and out of the down.
town area quickly. and how to get cars
off the streets during the day.
when we've accomplished this, we
will have taken two of the major steps
needed to safeguard our city and make
it operate more efficiently for the bene-
fit of every one."

Postseuson Benefit Come

This is purely a suggestion.
With football being the popular sport
that it is. why not have postseason
football game, preferably on the first
Saturday after the regular season while
the teams are still in form, between
the two top college teams of the
Nation, with all proceeds going to one
or more worthy causes. such as the
Muscular Dystrophy Association and
the March of Dimes? I believe this
would benefit all concerned, including
the losing team, which would have
donated its services to worthy cause.
And without a doubt the game would
be a sellout.

kind of thing happens often. I live in
El Cajon, east of San Diego, and drive
40 miles a day just going to and from
work. And distances are greater
around L. A. than around San Diego"
A private car out here is must.
Without an automobile, life is incon-

people.

On PuroIino Hiss

I have reference to a frontLpage
story in The Star, November II, on
Hiss and his chance for parole"
Here we go again!
Let the man pay. The price seems
little enough when you figure out what
price other men have had to pay for
much less. The boys in Korea, for
example.
don't think we should go soft with
people like Hiss. If we are to go soft,
let's do it for stupid people who make
blind mistakes. But unfortunately it's
the stupid people who pay through
the nose.
A parole for Hiss is a clear sign
to others that you can do it and
get off light" This isn't what we want.

Bod Day for Mr.. Trumun'

You did fine job in your editorial
on November 18. bad Day for Mr..
Truman"
But somebody on The Star ought to
be taken out into the woodshed and
thoroughly spanked for permitting
Doris Fleeson space to print, Harry
Dexter White had some very odd
connections"
That's exactly how Harry Herring
Truman acted and talked It's a Won
turkey as well as the gravy.
r. E. Wenzel.
It seems evident at this point in the
White controversy that Harry Trumans
refusal to dismiss the man when con-
fronted with the FBI report on him
was the result of thorough considera-
ton of possible political reverberations.
This theory is the more plausible
since it is the same one the former
President attributed to Attorney Cen
eral Brownell's disclosures. Mr.. Tru-
man has always been quick to accuse
others of the very things of which he
himself is guilty. In order of i'm
portance to him, the ex-President was
first a politician and only secondly the
President of the United States.
This incident will, however, serve
no real purpose except to further
strengthen the belief that it is shame
Harry Truman ever rose to the worlds
most important position.

When is Harry Truman going back on

is so devilishly entertaining.

cause it really was not ex-

hoping however you thought
about it and asked your
self if you weren't. feeding
your family as we'll as you

To help you plan your
meals according to that
guide l suggest that you
keep the following in mind.
1. Consider the whole day
when you are planning meals
and make plans for two or
more following days at that
same time. Check the food
inventory every day.
2. Take an inventory of
your food supply and left
overs so that you can plan
your menus to coincide with
your gocery list.
3. Change your menus
with the seasons of the
year. Use mostly the foods
In season in your particular
locality to cut down on ex-
penses.
a. Plan to serve foods that
are in tune with the ages of
your family. Consider the
digestive system of baby on
up to grandpaw. Also think
If their various health con-
ditlons and the activity they
engage in every day.
With all these things in
mind ask yourself again.
Are you feeding your family

should? Unless you happen
to be endowed with a spe-
cIal gift you aren't doing

YOUR HOME AND MINE
BY ELOlsE ANDERSON MITCHELL

Greetings once again la
dies. Last week / wrote an
article concerning Fall
Cleaning which was really
applicable to any seasonal
cleaning. However, when l
wrote it / was not aware
of the fact that I did not
know all the answers to
"house cleaning" until we
moved into our resent home.
l am now sitting in the
one and only available chair
in the living room to recu-
perate from the fact that
not only is the living room
cluttered with boxes, pa
pers, trunks, clothes, etc.,
but so is the dining room,
kitchen and the bedrooms.
There seems to be so much
to do that 1 truly don't know
where to start.
How did you go about set
ting up housekeeping when
you moved? Did you have the
house, yard and basement
G e n er a ly cl ane d so
you could move things in?
Then did you have broken
windows mended while at
the same time the kitchen
utilities installed, the fire
place flue opened and the
furnace checked. Did you
spray all your cabinets for
insects before you had them
painted. Then did you put
away clothes,~ linen, dishes
in the clean freshly painted
closets or cabinets? Did you
paint the walls in reach room
next or didn't you have
them painted? Did you then
wash the windows, put up
curtains and wax the floors?
l can see the house now.
Every box emptied and
thrown away. Trunk and
suit cases put away and the
furniture moved into place.
The rugs put down, the
pictures hung, nic-knacks
placed just SO. Everything
shining and smelling clean.
Is that the way you did
it? 1t sounds simple. / am
doing it that way even
though I've just gotten to
the painting of the first
cabinet. / feel confident now
and a little energy seems to
be seeping back into my
tired body. So with my pre-
sent state of confidence and
energy l ask you one more
question. How long did it
take you afterwards to sur
vive the "Big Move"
1t is the desire of every
good homemaker to make
her family happy and es-
pecially at meal time. How
ever with the high cost of
foods, meal planning for
pleasure becomes a task.
