ANSWER TO QUERY.

OLD CHRISTMAS SEAL?
Mrs. A. w. L., Germantown
I think that the poem of
Grace Crowell's, printed in
RICH on May 81, was probably
written after she had seen the
original piece about the ship
disappearing from the shore.
I believe Miss E. A. r. of WASH
ington had the original in
mind. and I found a copy in
my scrapbook. I am grateful
to Miss E. A. r. for requesting
this. for it spurred me to look
up the quotation. Here it is:
shore. A ship at my Side spreads
her white sails to the morning
breeze and starts for the blue
ocean.

her until at length she Is only
ribbon of whita cloud Just where

gone!''
Gone where? Gone from my
sight-that is all. She Is Just
as large in mast and hull and
spar as she was when she left
my side, and Just as able to bear
the load Of living freight-to the
place Of destination.
Her diminished size is IN me,
not in her. and Just at the mo-
ment when some one at my side
says: There! She's goneP there
are other voices ready to take UP
come?'
And that is dying.
AUTHOR UNKNOWN.
A really tough problem for
RICH readers! My husband, in
addition to his regular stamp
collection, has a collection of
Christmas Seals for many
years, but is missing 1910.
Does any one have an old letter
on which is 1910 T'B Christ
mas Seal? That is a real
challenge to readers!
I love the Clearing House.
1t reveals the character of
American people - generous,
willing to serve, and full of ap-
probation for little acts Of
kindness.

TO REMOVE GRASS
STAINS
TO REMOVE PAINT

mrs. E. F. B.. Washington
My experience has been
that washing with soap and
water has q tendency to set
grass stains in q fabric. Rub
bing alcohol applied if possible
while the stain is fresh, usu-
ally dissolves out most Of the
coloration, and then the gar
ment can be laundered. This
works effectively and Is safe
for any material.
Another worthwhile tip is
that any cooking oil. vaseline
or even shortening Is excel
lent for softening fresh paint
on hands or clothing. Follow
by washing in warm soapy
water. This is more effective
and more gentle than turpen-
tine.

Court Delays Tie Up Final Unraveling of Reuther Murder Plot Case

DETROIT, R-The states Wal ter Reuther murder plot case was at virtual dead stop Friday, tied up tight in a series of court de- lays.
 Prosecutor Gerald K. O'Brien wasn't saying what his next move would be. It was reported, how ever, that he and associates were looking for a way to facilitate extradition from Canada of Don aid Ritchie, the reluctant ace wit ness.
 Considering all the possible in ternational legal ramifications, it might be weeks before Ritchie could be brought back over the Detroit neighboring river from Windsor, Ont. His hearing is set for Jan. 21 in Windsor.
 Ritchie is the man who suppos- edIy made S10,OO0 on the attempt to kill Reuther-S5, ,00O which he said was given him by one of the four men he named as conspira- tors and another S5,0OO as q re- ward from Reuther's CIO Auto Union for his story to police Of the alleged plot. The union itself announced it made the $5,OOO re- ward payment.
 Courts here and in Windsor Thursday deferred the cases of two co-defendents, Carl Ronda, 35, and Clarence Jacobs, 48.
 Ritchie says Renda is the man who paid him $5,000 for taking part in the shotgun assault on Reuther April 20, 1948. He ac- cuses Jacobs, his uncle, of being the triggerman.

Gerald Thompson Dies, Death Attributed To
 Unknown Type Poisoning

TACOMA, R- The family of Gerald Thompson, the previous survivor in an Alaska mistaken identity death case involving two young men from Tacoma, received a telegram that he had died last night.
 Thompson originally had been reported dead Monday and Gary Allen Young critically ill at Fair banks. They had been found in a cabin at the edge of town.
 When Mrs. Florence Thompson arrived in the northern city, how ever, she identified the survivor as her son, and remained near him until his death yesterday.
 The cause of the deaths of the two former Tacomans has not been determined definitely, but authorities now are certain the death was due to some unexplain- ed type of poisoning.
 The confusion in the initial identfications was attributed to the swollen and red-faced condi- ton of both.

Doctor On St. Paul Island Injecting 36O Inhabitants With Gamma GlObulin

NEW YORK, R-The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis said a lone doctor on the tiny Pribilof island of St. Paul began Thursday injecting the entire population with gamma globulin to combat a threatening polio epidemic.
 There have been two polio deaths among the 360 persons on the island in the Boring Sea.
 Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, territorial health officer at Juneau, told the Foundation by telephone that a portable iron lung and 5000 cc's of the scarce blood fraction were flown directly to St. Paul from Anchorage Thursday. Later 5000 cc's and other supplies were rush ed from New York to Anchorage to be landed or parachuted onto the island.

Congress 2 Invited
 Vote Themselves $l2,5OO Pay Raise

WASHINGTON, R - Senate and House members were invited today to vote themselves a $12,5O0 a year pay increase.
 A special commission setup to study problems also recommended q $14,500 a year increase for Su- preme Court justices, comparable raises for other federal judges and higher expense allowances for the Vice President and Speaker of the House.
 The committees report to Presi- dent Eisenhower made other re- concentrations:
 l. A government-provided off ficial mansion for Vice President Nixon and his successors in the post.
 2. A further study of pensions for the widows and dependents of the various officials. It said there is no such provision now for sur vivors of justices and other judges and inadequate" provisions for congressional families.
 An early sampling of congress siona1 opinion indicated the Sen ate may well vote for some sort of increase. The outlook in the House is more doubtful. What ever they do about their own pay, the legislators are almost certain to raise judges salaries.
