Ex-Maine Senator Hints
He May Get Federal Job
By the Associated Press

Owen Brewster, former Re-
publican Senator from Maine,
limited yesterday that President
Eisenhower may be getting ready
to give him a Federal job.
Mr.. Brewster, who was de-
feated in his bid for reelection
to the Senate in the Maine pri-
mary last year, conferred at the
White House with Sherman
Adams. Gen. Eisenhower's top
assistant.
Asked later whether he was
in line for an administration job,
Mr.. Brewster smiled and said:
II presume that is somewhat
in the air now. I had pleasant
talk with Mr.. Adams, who has a
voice in such matters"
There has been speculation
that Mr.. Brewster might be
asked to head the Federal Mari
time Board and the Maritime
Administration. A single chair
man heads both agencies.

He is a noted scientist whose
work involved the first atomic

He began his scientific career
at the University of California
in association with Prof. Ernest

whom he took his doctor of phil

in 1899. There DR.. Abelson made

In September, 1889, DR.. Abel
son joined the Carnegie Institu-
ton as staff member and took
a prominent part in the design
and construction of the CYCLIC
iron at it's Department Of Ter

World War II, he served as a
physicist at the Naval Research
Laboratory. After his return to
the Department of Terrestrial
Magnetism in 1916, he started
a new program of work in bio

munist Party in England.
Lovestone and Gitlow appealed
Stains decision to the COMM
tern, which summoned 10
American Communist leaders to
Moscow, paying their travel ex-
penSeS.
Appeal Was Futile.
The idea of appealing" a
decision by Stain was not yet a
ludicrous one in 1929, although
it developed that it was largely
a window-dressing gesture by
which Stain emphasized his con-
troll to other Russian leaders. At
any rate, it proved to be as futile
a move as it would have been in
the last few years of Stains life.
Both sides, Gitlow testified,
aired their views in a full-dress
Comintern hearing on the Amer
lean dispute.
Stain spoke number of
times to explain his decision and
flung out this warning to the
Lovestone-Gitlow faction, as Git
low noted it down at the time:
1.-THE American Communist
Party will not perish. It will live
and flourish to the dismay of
the enemies of the working class.
Only one small factional group
will perish if it continues to be
stubborn, if it does not submit
to the will of the Comintern. if
it continues to adhere to its
errors"
Vyacheslav M. Molotov, Rus
sia's new foreign minister in the
Malenkov regime which Sue
ceeded Stain, handed down the
1929 decision reached by a spe-
cial Comintern commission. It
upheld Stain and ratified the
election of Gitlow and Lovestone
from the party.

Explained

Continued life and beauty of
wool and other animal fibres de-
pend upon maintaining the nat
ural fibre fabrication. This vital
discovery in the textile industry
affords new protection for rugs,
carpets and upholstery.
The natural lubricants age
away leaving the fibres dry, dull
and brittle like a dried out twig,
readily snapped off" Dry clean
ing, ammonia, strong soaps and
alkali cleaners hasten the loss of
lubricants. Harsh scrubbing
breaks the fibres.
Duracleaning scientifically pro-
tects the fibres by restoring lost
fibre lubricants making them
again resilient and resistant to
wear.
Colorings are refreshed. Matted
pile rises. The brilliant tones in
Oriental rugs are re-enlivened.
Dirt in upholstery comes OUT
Gnstead of being driven deeper
into the fabric as with dry clean
ing and liquid or wet foam clean
ers). Grease, hair oil and many
unsightly stains disappear.
Duracleaning cleans by ABB
SORPTION instead of scrubbing.
A snow-white aerated foam is
created by the electric Foam
ovator. The foam is lightly ap-
piled and instantly removed.
No liquid touches the fabric.
Shrinkage is eliminated. Rugs
sizings are not disturbed.
Frequent cleansing of floor
coverings and upholstery fabrics
is just as vital to health as clean
