To the U. S. Senate
Honorable Sirs:
The Senate Investigations Subcommittee
attracted the attention of vast number of
Americans who watched the hearings on the
Army Nc Carthy charges on television, heard
them on radio and read about them in news
papers,
We heard Chairman Mundt repeatedly as
sert that the Subcommittee, and eventually
the entire Senate, must be governed in its
decision on these charges by the sworn testi-
mony taken during eight long weeks of hear
ings.
AS a citizen jury, we observed and heard
witnesses testifying under oath present flatly
contradictory evidence as to facts. Obviously
some witnesses in these hearings committed
perjury.
We respectfully urge that perjured evil
dence in these hearings be dealt with by the
United States Senate in the same manner as
the Senate would deal with perjured testi-
mony by an ordinary citizen.
Certainly, there are ample records of the
vigorous prosecution and the swift and sure
justice melted out to ordinary citizens when
they have lied under OATH
One side or the other has not been telling
the truth in these hearings. In the closing ses-
sions attempts were made to pass off flatly

Tokyo Drive Opens
10 0ust Yoshida as
Party Merger Fails
BY The Assoeioted Press

TOKYO. Nov. 29.-An attempt
to merge Japan's conservative
parties collapsed today and pre-
sumably touched of the long
heralded campaign to topple
Premier Shigeru Yoshida's gov
eminent.
This could come tomorrow
when the Diet tparliament)
meets.
The merger plan. proposed by
leaders of Yoshida's Liberal
Party, was rejected by the newly
formed Democratic Party, organ

Democratic Party leaders said
the Liberals ''regrettably failed to

The Liberals, under pressure
from their big business support
ers to avert q n-confidence
vote and the uncertainty of a
new Diet election which prob
ably would follow it. promptly
went into a huddle over new
concessions that would patch up
the conservative Diet.
Their rejected merger plan
had called for Premier Yoshida
to quit the Liberal Party presi-
dency and had limited he would
give up the premiership which
he has held six years..
When the Democrats objected
to the vaguenesS on the retire.

the Socialists to overturn the

the two factions control approxi-

Mr.. Hatoyama, however. is
said to be as reluctant as the
Liberals to plunge Japan into a

if the Liberals ever make it clear
they are ready to dump the To-

Special Type Drill
SimpIifies Job Of
Boring through Tile
By Douglas Tuomey

Even the most experienced
home mechanic will confess. If
he wants to be truthful, that
he has cracked or ruined many
a tile in his day in an effort to
bore holes in them.
Actually, I know Of no meaner
job than that of trying to bore
holes for a new towel rack or
other bathroom fixture when the
wall is Sheathed in glaSs-like tile.
Practically every plumber, or
other skilled mechanic. who has
to perform this Job once in a
while has had his own particular
formula for a successful boring.
But the formulas did not always
work out.
Tile drilling or boring is quite
simple now because there is on
the market a drill, or bit" as
they are called, which will en-
able any one to drill through tile
without breaking it. The secret
lies in the special head, made of
new metal composition. which
starts the point without the
operator having to exert a lot
of pressure. After a hole is
through. 1t can he reamed to
larger size with standard metal
bits or drills.
It should be said here that
any work around materials as
brittle and easily cracked as tile
should be done slowly, and with
a minimum Of pressure against
1t. Tile does not always have a
solid backing of cement or NOR
tar. particularly old tilework,
and this is the cause of most
of the breakage.
There are many places where
drilling is required through con-
crete. cement block or other
types of masonry. This special
drill will 60 through any of them
with equal ease. It is recon-
mended that they not be used
in a high-speed electric drill. but
rather with a hand drill which
enables you to get the feel of
the material.

Homes Begun in U. 5.
Top Million Mark
Fifth Straight Year

For the fifth straight year,
more than a million housing
units were placed under construc-
ton in 1858.
The Labor Departments Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics reports
this week that 1,102 400 new per-
.manent non-farm dwelling units
were started last year. This was
the third best housing year on
record, comparing with 1877, 900
units started in 1852, and 1885,
600 in the all-time peak of 1850.
The Bureau said the 1866, 900
units Of privately-owned housing
last year about equalled the same
number as of 1852. But more
privately-owned one mil
homes were begun during the
first nine months of 1853 than in
any comparable period except in
1850.
Seasonally adjusted, the an
nual rate of private starts last
year exceeded IL million units
during five months Of the year
(including December), and was
above a million for all months
except August, when work stop
pages adversely affected activity
in some sections.
New public housing in 1858,
by contrast, dropped by 80 per
cent from 1852 to $500 units,
the lowest volume in five years.
With the good showing in pri-
vately owned one-family units,
there also was a Is per cent rise
from 1852 to 1853 in the number
Of new units in privately-owned
multi-family apartment build
ings begun during the first nine
months. However, there was a
small decline in two or more
family structures.
The total volume of rental-type
housing CUNTS in two or more
family structures) was down 8
per cent because of the sharp
decline in public low-rent units
started during January-Septem-
er of 1853.

New Fabric Spray
Restores Life 10
Faded Rugs, Chairs
By D. M. Derwin

Many home owners and home
makers have found in the past
that q sofa faded or streaked by
the sun had to be recovered to
bring back its original beauty.
And worn, discolored rugs also
meant big replacement cost or
an expensive dye job, that might
or might not turn out right.
With the invention Of a new
product now on the market,
newness and fresh color can be
sprayed back into the faded
sofa. the worn or discolored rug
or the old and tired-looking up
holstery, at only q tiny fraction
of what one would have to pay
for new materials and skilled
labor.
Packed in a 12-ounce bomb
type self-spraying dispenser for
home application by amateurs.
this new fabric spray re-creates
fabric beauty and charm.
The spray Is neither a tint,
paint nor dye. It is q plastic
resin base. mineral pigment
spray which actually bathes
fabrics in q deeply penetrating
color-mist. According to the
manufacturer 1t does not clog
pores nor blot out fabric pat
terms and tones. It creates
fresh new color and beauty
without changing the natural
fabric texture.
The spray can be used on
cloth-covered chairs, rugs, gar
den furniture. draperies. car
interiors, awnings of all types
including canvas, convertible
car tops. sofas. wallboards.
matchstick draperies. aircraft
interiors, rubber mats, suede
purses, shoes, most leatherette
finishes as well as patio tile. It
is not recommended for genuine
leather, vinyl (slick surface)
leatherette. cloth garments or
any surface that has not been
thoroughly cleaned to remove
dust, dirt and excessive surface
oils.
Before applying this fabric
spray. vacuum the fabric to be
renewed thoroughly. To insure
best appearance. proper drying
and adhesion, remove stains and
surface oils with a good Soapless
cleaner. Cover the adjacent fab
RIGS or woodwork, then shake
the pressurized self-spraying
dispenser vigorously for at least
10 seconds after clicking noise
begins. Apply the fabric spray
out of the sun but allow the
sprayed unit to dry in the sun
and in an area where there Is
good ventilation. Hold the spray
nozzle about 8 inches from the
surface and spray one coat in q
continuous pattern with q steady
motion so that the spray is ap-
pIleo evenly.
The manufacturer supplies de-
tailed spraying instructions for
soft-textured fabrics. nap or
pile. canvas. smooth surface
fabrics. convertible tops and
hard surfaces such as leather
cite, rubber fibre mats. etc.
Choice of colors is available,
including silver or desert gray,
red. maroon. rust. dusty rose.

erald green. royal or wedgwood
