New Wood Panel
In Mosaic Pattern
Suitable for Walls
By D. M. Derwin

If you have been wanting to
finish your attic and have been
stymied by cost, your opportu-
nifty is in proven, all-purpose
wood panel now available. The
home craftsman can get enough
paneling to do the walls of an
average size attic, 10x12 feet, for
approximately $100 and have
enough trim waste to do other
jobs around the house.
This panel in natural mo-
Saiclike pattern is a three-ply
all wood board with a core of
wood chips and is faced on either
side with layer of wood flakes.
1t is formed into a panel under
heat and pressure.
The panel is an ideal material
for home improvements. Di-
menSionally stable and nom
Warping, it is easy to work.
Standard panels are 4 by 8
feet, though other sizes are
available in the 34-inch thick
ness. Smaller sizes are well
adapted to the needs of the home
craftsman because they generally
cut with less waste and are lower
in price.
Of special interest to the do
it-yourself" craftsman, doing an
attic, with an eye to time and
effort, is a prefabricated ward
robe door package of the same
material. This door comes COM
plete with all hardware and
.jambS, ready to install. When it
comes to finishing, the panels
may be easily waxed. lacquered,
tinted, stained or painted.

Outlay Of 81 Billion
For Guided Missiles
Planned Next Year
Rx fhs As,ocintad Pros,


United States defense leaders.
convinced that Soviet Russia is
making spectacular progress on
guided missiles. will spend more
than 81 billion in this field dur
ing the next year.
This Became known yesterday
with the release Of testimony by
defense experts asking approval
Of the multi-billion dollar mill
tary program for the fiscal year
starting JnIy-1.
Guided missiles are the most
promising of many new weapons
expected to be used in any future
warfare and all three services,
Army, Navy and Air Force, are
developing them.
Col. j. L. Zoeckler, Air. Force
witness, discussed Russian efforts
on guided missiles at, a closed
door session of the .Senate APP
preparations subcommittee and
parts Of his testimony were
cleared for publication yesterday.
Reds Have Experts.
He recalled that. Communist
Russia captured many top Ger
man scientists. Including guided
missile experts; saying ~ Il,
s"Since the Soviets tell heir to
considerable German talent in
this field, and have demonstrated
an ability to solve: other critical
problems, we would be foolhardy
not to give them credit for fav-
ing an equal surprise capabil-
ity."
He also told Senators that
guided missiles have 'two simple
purposes:
First to carry bombs to enemy
targets, and second, to knock
down enemy aircraft"
"The Air Force has two prin-
cipal types" he continued, "pi-
lotless aircraft types, which are
essentially high performance
aircraft. and guided aircraft
rockets, which give great promise
Of improving our existing air
craft armament"
New Funds Needed.
Col. zoeckler said the All
Force needed $405 million in
new funds for these automatic
new weapons.
Rear Admiral T. S. Combs of
the Navy's Bureau of Aero
nautics testified that the Navy
would spend Sis million devel-
oping and producing its special
guided missiles. Other Navy
leaders said guided missiles will
become standard equipment fol
the fleet uring the year, especi-
ally for aircraft carriers which
must ward off attacks by high
speed enemy aircraft.
Army Spokesmen kept secret
the amount they will spend on
guided missiles during the year
but 1t is known that it will run
into hundreds Of millions. The
Army is providing large cities
and industrial areas with Nike,
the special guided missile unit:
able to seek out and destroy air.
craft that travel faster than
sound.
Cost Of special installation fol
i guided missiles, training of crews
and other related activities viii
push the cost well above 81
billion.

Georgetown Citizens Ask
Police Fund Restoration

The Progressive Citizens Asso-
citation Of Georgetown last night
asked Congress and the District
Commissioners to restore the
$702.000 cut from police depart
ment appropriations in the cur
rent budget.
The money should be re-
stored, the resolution states,
"either as an emergency fund
Immediately or as a permanent
fund as soon as possible"
The action was taken, men,
bers said, because of the recent
increase in local crime and
emergency measures taken by
the police to combat it. The
resolution particularly deplores
the fact that Police Chief Rob-
ert v. Murray must work men
overtime without pay.
In other business the group
voted to send a letter of con-
gratulations to the Georgetown
Branch of the Boys Club of
Washington. The boys won the
national football championship
in the Pop Warner Santa Claus
Bowl at Lakeland, Fla, last
Thursday.
The meeting, conducted by
Stephen P. Dorsey. president,
was held in the Christ Church

IS persons in an airplane crash

ber /, 1949, is scheduled for trial

sepgers killed brought suits for

The suit scheduled for trial
was brought by representatives
of the estates of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph F. Miller, who lived at
5112 Grove avenue, Chevy Chase,
Md, both of whom were killed
in the crash. Mr.. Miller, who
was SIS, was an attorney. The
suit asks for $500,000 damages
for the death Of each.
The suit names as defendants,
Eastern Air Lines, Capt. Rios
and the Federal Government.
The Federal Government was

planned.
Counsel for the representatives

named chief attorney.
All Of the suits combined seek

million, Attorney Bress said.
