Quarters in GERMANY
BY the Asseeiessd Pres,

A spokesman for the United
States high commissioner for
Germany gets a chance today to
defend a multimillion- dollar
housing project which Congress.
men have dubbed "unreason-
able" and possibly Illegal"
A House Government Opera
lions subcommittee called Glenn
G. Wolf, executive director of
the high commissioners office,
for testimony about the luxury
quarters built in the Bonn-Bad
Godesberg area in Germany.
He indicated yesterday he diff
fers with findings of the General
Accounting Office which raised
official eyebrows over the pro-
ject.
Authority Questioned.
William L. Ellis, chief inves-
tigator for the accounting Office.
said there was some question"
over the authority under which
the State Department approved
the construction last year.
He said the project. housing
$40 Americans, cost $1634 mil
lion; and featured five separate
houses for top officials which
cost an average of $751; 900 each.
Mr.. Ellis said an 8O-cent-per-
cubic-foot cost was "a favorable
figure but the trouble is-too
many feet"
He said itemized lists of fur
nishingS included different types
OF glasses for such beverages
as water, beer, champagne, white
wine, red wine and sweet wine.
Mr.. Ellis also reported there
was some reason to believe the
3O-foot living rooms could have
been smaller.
Can't Convert Marks.
The committee was told the
money for the construction came
from a special account of Ger
man deutschemarks which can
not be converted into dollars for
export. t.
James W. Riddleberger. head
of the German affairs section of
the State Department, followed
Mr.. Ellis to the stand and con-
coded the project was on the lux
uriouS side.
Il do not attempt to justify
the lavish construction" he said.
He added, however, that it could
easily be converted into a United
States embassy or can be sold.

financially, in the long rum" he
said. adding that a profit might
result from rentals.

SALAD HINT.

(MTS. j. L.. l., WdSIWgtOHI
Sometime ago there ap-
peared in RICH the name of a
booklet helpful to contest en-
trants. Would any one having
the name and address of this
book be kind enough to send
it in?
Here's a hint for making
tossed salad" for a large
party. Early in the afternoon
line your refrigerator hydrator
with paper toweling. Put in
a layer of cut salad greens,
cover with another strip of
paper toweling and repeat un-
til all the salad ingredients
are used. Replace hydrator
in refrigerator. Just before
serving, remove toweling, add
seaSonings, place in bowl and
mix lightly with dressing. You
will find this method absorbs
any excess moisture resulting
from washing the green's and
makes a delightfully."- crisp
salad. Best of all, it saves
some of that last-minute fuss
ing in the kitchen.

About this time when business men begin to fes
toon their wndow ard stores with holiday tnse and
papers, magazines radio and TV crammed with messages
beseechng the public buy this and that and everything
imaginable gifts in keeping with the yuetide hears
mutterngs that fhrismas is being too much commercial
ized
With the tremendous year-end stimulus to almost every
facet of the couny economy that grows from the Christ
shopping spree there be little argument that the
birthday of Christ has not been commerciazed And this
easy linking of business and religion in American life
doubtedly offends the sensibiltes of many.
Perhaps the commercial Santa is rather farfetched
symbo of Chrsts way of life and ye for perhaps
it not faretched after ALL Perhaps partly because
has been commecazed the great celebration of Christ
touches many would otherwise reach and lends
for period certain sofenng influence which do not be-
eve would be Objectionable in this goth century TO Christ

by McGrawH gift booklet for the coming season. Peter
Marshall declared:
Lets not give way to cynicism and mutter that
Christmas has become commercialized" 1t will be
unless you let be- Your Christmas is not commercazed
unless you have commercialized it,

The Route IO3 Proposal

The geographic location of town. its proximity and
convenience to public transportation plays important part
in whether it becomes growing hub of
forever hamlet The part that the busy Dixie highway has
played in Buttons growth not overlooked or forgotten by
many of the towns older businessmen
And while the businessmen just eager to be rid of
the nuisance of the steady stream of heavy truck traffic the
average citizen many feel that when Route 25 bypases Bluff
ton much of Main streets color and life will go with it.
Fortunately the highway will not be close to
Bufton that for practical purposes may be Said to pass
through it, Perhaps the town will eventually spread around
the new traffic artery.
But to further keep Buffton focal point in state high
way travel the businessmen association urging the high
way department to continue Route 103 beyond its present
terminus in town to Columbus Grove and Kada where it
would join Route 14 another eastwes route Thus Buton
would be in favorable position being at the ntersec
on of highways running north and south and east and west
In this thinking citizens of Columbus Grove and Kada
have shown eageness cooperate Last week the Co
lumbus Grove village council passed resolution favorng the
proposal While resolutions in themselves will not accomplish
the aims of the business they beneficial in indicating
united support Blufon council is inclined to agree with
the movement it would well that it join with the neigh
boring community and take similar action.
