One Injured as Cars

One person was injured slight
ly yesterday in a chain-reaction
accident involving four tractor
trailers and several autos at New
York and Florida avenues NE.
A truck driven by Royce M.
Sanders, %. Orange. Fla, went
out of control about z pm. when
its brakes failed, police said,
slammed into the side of an
other truck, struck the two other
trucks and then overturned on
an auto.
All of the vehicles were head
ed southwest on New York ave-
nue.. police said. The collisions
pushed the vehicles forward
causing autos to collide at the
intersection.

BY 1910 he had been .ap-

The President was informed
that in spite of all the efforts
made by Soviet spies. no serious
disclosures were made to the
NKVD until the summer cf 1914,
when scientist engaged IN con-

nation for the Soviet consulate
in San Francisco which had been
operating clandestine radio IN

This was about a year before
the first atomic bomb was ex-
ploded at Almagordo, N. Mex.
on July 16, 1945. The scientist
involved was discharged Ter talk

raised on whether he had PASSED

Virginia May Ban Hunting
In Dry Southwest Area
By the Assoeiuied Press

Virginia State Forester George
w. Dean today formally re-
quested that hunting be banned
in an area south and west of
the New River, west of the Blue
Ridge Mountains because of fire
danger.
The ban, if ordered by the
State Commission of Game and
Inland Fisheries, would close
about As million acres to nunt-
ing. About IA Southwest Vlr-
ginia counties would be involved.
Beverly w. StraS, jr., chair
man of the commission, con-
ferred today with I. T. Quinn, ex-
ecutive director. He said he
would call an emergency meeting
of the commission or obtain
member reaction by telephone if
it seemed necessary to put the
ban in effect.
The hunting season west of
the Blue Ridge is scheduled to
open Monday.

were named and their activities

stated.
A fascinating section of the
information given the President
was that dealing with the effort
which was being made here dur
ing the war to free the slayer
of Trotsky in Mexico City.
Trotsky's killer. thought to be
an agent of the NKVD. was SEN
fenced to 20 years in prison in
1910. Activity began in 1912

with dozen or more persons in
this country involved. and with
the activity apparently directed
by Soviet consular official. The
effort failed, but did show the
NKVD apparently tries to take
care of its own. Behind it all
was the ubiquitous Zubulin. an
apnnt of obvious talent.

At the time his name was

of the FB1. He later was to
become more prominent.

Cannot Specify
Revenue Needs

1t is possible, and likely
probable, that some further in
crease of revenues will be nee
essary to handle operating ex-
penses when all of the new IA
cilities are built, but it is i'm
possible at this time to fore
cast them with complete ac-
curacy. The growth of the
city, the development of reve-
nues and other things in the
course of 10 years depend upon
many factors. But this seems
a reasonable approach to meet
the city's very definite needs.
I think the chances Of en-
acting the program are good.
The support of the Bureau Of
the Budget is altogether i'm
portant, and ! think we are
in much better position than
if we had tried to proceed last
year before the Budget Bureau
had had an opportunity to go
into the matter fully and indi-
cate an administration posi-
tion.
AS ! have said earlier. we
will be happy to sit in joint
hearings with the House Com
mittee. if that is their desire.
Naturally, since the proposals
are for revenue, House action
will have to come first after
the hearings.

I am pleased with the pub
lie works program as now pro-
posed by the Commissioners
and the Bureau of the Budget
and will do all I can to get it
enacted.
It meets the three principal
suggestions / made last spring.
1t stretches out the program to
10 years and cuts the total
from $3.50 million to around
$500 million. It recognizes the
interest cost on the Federal
loan. 1t divides the capital
cost on a true $3.50 basis, with
District and Federal taxpayers
each contributing an addi-
tional SO million a year.
While actually only so per
cent greater than the capital
outlay of the last 10 years,
anything less would make it
impossible for the District
Government to provide ade-
quate school. welfare. health.

Finance Proqrom

The public works financing
program now in the final
stages of preparation repre-

study of the Addison Commit
tee, the Reilly Committee, the
Citizens Advisory Council and
the Commissioners themselves.
Literally hundreds of public
spirited men and women have
given freely of their time and
talents in reviewing the city's
capital needs and studying
ways to meet them.
The Congress. too, has, for
a number Of years, been aware
of the growing backlog of vital
projects. Our appropriations
and legislative committees
have been seriously concerned
with the steady rise in city
costs. Earlier this year, the
report of the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee on which /
and two other members of the
Legislative Committee sit ex

a review of the Districts rs
cal position. The hearings Of
the public works proposals will
provide the opportunity for
that review.

would you suggest for draw
draperies, bedspread and lamp
shades?
Answer - I suggest eggShell
leather for the upholstery on the
antique walnut chair in your
bedroom; for the draperies, a
floral pattern in rose, wine and
eggshell on an aqua background;
for the bedspread, rose; for the
lamp shades, eggshell.
fQuestiOn-The walls and wood
work in my living room are
painted pale green and the wood
work is stained dark oak. My
problem is that the stained wood
work on the windows looks very
shabby and I am going to have
to paint it. Could paint the
window woodwork and the base
board the same color as the walls
and leave the door frames in the
stained finish?
Answer - If you leave the
stained finish on the door frames
it will make them so obvious that
it will spoil the appearance of
the entire room. suggest paint
ing all the woodwork including
the door frames the same color
and finish as the walls.

help with a color scheme for my
kitchen. The cabinets are birch
with yellow counter tops. What
colors would you suggest for the
walls, foorcovering and curtains?
Also I am planning to buy a

would you suggest for that?

maroon, blue, ivory and black
