Lodge Opposes U. N.
Priority on Loyalty
By the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. - The
chief United States delegate to
the United Nations. Henry Ca
bot Lodge, jr., took issue last
night with a U. N. boards state
ment that the 10000 employees
of the international organiza-
tion and its agencies should give
their first loyalty to the y. NJ,
not to their own countries.
Asked on television inter-
view about the report Saturday
by the u. MS nine-member In
ternational Civil Service Advis-
ory Board, Mr.. Lodge said he
thought the word loyalty" had
been used by mistake.
II think what they meant was
when you work full time for the
United Nations, you ought to
give them full time" he de-
clared.
obviously the United Nations
is not a world government" he
continued. 1T is not a SOW

work for the United Nations
ought to be good Americans.

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 11.-Hurri-

Storm warnings were raised

Besides the winds, Haiti was
warned against torrential rains,
which posed a threat of floods,
and abnormally high tides.

from its previous west-north-

From there it wuold pass into
the Southeastern Bahamas.
After that we will just have

The sofa land chair are blue,
another chair and the rug are
wine and the television and piano
are mahogany. My problem is
what color would be best for
the draperies and what color to
paint the cornice?
Answer-The same shade of
pink as the ceiling would be a
good color for your living room
draperies. Paint the cornices
gray to match the walls.
Questionable walls of my
bedroom are blue-green. the cur
tains and bedspreads are white,
the scatter rugs, green and the
furniture 18th century mahog-
any. I would like a suggestion
for a slipcover for a loveseat
which will be placed against a
wall near the kitchen door. The
predominating colors in the
kitchen are black, white, red
and gray.
Answer-Since you could use
more color and some pattern in
your bedroom an 18th century
floral pattern on a red back
ground would be a good selection
for the loveseat slipcover.
Question-The floors in my
apartment are in very poor con-
dition. is there anything you can
suggest other than carpeting to
cover them? Carpeting would be
little too expensive for me as
there are two bedrooms, living
room and hall, all adjoining, to
be covered.
Answer-Vinyl plastic floor
covering in black or other dark
color would be a solution to your
problem. With this type floor
covering you could use a few
inexpensive colorful throw rugs.
Question: am decorating my
living room and would like to
have some help. The walls are
light green and the woodwork,
including the fnantel are white.

and what style and finish tables?
Could I use a breakfront secre-
tary in the room, if so where
should I place it? Also, I in
tend to get carpeting later on,
what would be a good color?
Answer-A breakfront secre-
tary placed on the wall opposite
the mantel would give good bal
ance. Since breakfrontS are more
or less associated with the 18th
century style get 18th century
tables in mahogany finish. Make
the sofa dark green, the chairs
chartreuse and gold, and the
lamps maroon and gold. Maroon
would be a good color for the
carpeting.

Portable Pump
Can Be Used 10 Lift
W later From Cellar
By Douglas -Tuomey

Water In the cellar or base
n1ent continues to be the num-
ber one household problem in
this country, and the amount
of money spent by homeowners
every year to correct the con-
dition is staggering.
The odd thing about the prob
lem is that so many people sus-
tain great financial loss from it
and a still greater amount OF
inconvenience without trying to
get right down to a cure. This
particularly applies to those who
cannot afford to have a real
waterproofing job done or who
cannot afford to install a sump
pump.
During a recent epidemic of
flooded cellars we came across
the best and most economical
idea we have seen in a long time.
The gadget consists of a quarter
horsepower motor with a handle
on the top. The shaft is con-
nected up to a small centrifugal
pump.
The pump itself is hardly
bigger than your outspread
hand. There are two connec-
tions on thu pump for connect
ing to standard garden hose.
The suction end of the pump
has a six-foot length of hose
attached to it which can be
dropped into the water, and the
other connection is coupled to
a long length of hose which can
be run out of the cellar window
or any other place you want.
The entire unit weighs about
20 pounds and can be carried
in one hand to any desired
location. The unit will pump
over 800 gallons an hour and
should be able to take care of
almost any condition liable to
occur in the average home.

this door did not change color.
Answer: I suspect that you
have only applied one coat Of
varnish and this does not offer
sufficient protection against the
elements. Remove the present
varnish down to the bare wood
and sandpaper the surface to
bring UP clean wood. Apply two
coats of good quality spar var
nish. Be sure the top and bottom
edges are also well varnished; !;
this is important in order to
prevent moisture penetrating
into the wood and consequent
warping.
Rain Comes In Wall.
Question: We have an at
tached garage and when it
rains water comes through
where the brick and foundation
come together on the outside
wall. How can we seal this outer
wall?
Answer: The leakage evidently
occurs on top of the foundation
wall. You can overcome this by
raking out the present mortar
to a depth of about a half inch
and then fill the joint with a
light colored caulking compound
with a caulking gun.
Awnings During Winter?
Question: Would leaving avn
ings up during the winter be
wise to prevent fading of drapes,
slip covers and carpeting? Or,
would this be an unnecessary
precaution? The exposures are
south and east.
Answer: It is not only an
unnecessary precaution but will
eventually prove to be an expen-
sive one. Awnings left in place
during the winter receive an
exceptional beating by severe
weather and thus fade and wear
out much sooner. The fabrics
and carpets in the house can
be just as well protected by the

Question: Our house Is three
years old. In that time the win
dows have shrunk to such an
extent they now have approxi-
mately one-quarter inch play in
the frames. Although the vim
dows already have a metal
weatherstripping. ! thought /
would place another metal strip
under the present one. What
would you Suggest?.
Answer: If the present wealth
erstrip is of the spring type, an
additional strip might work out
satisfactorily. But think a
more practical method would be
to insert a quarter-inch- thick
strip of wood in the groove to
fill in the space to make up for
the difference in space.
Bullying Plaster.
Question: Our composition
chimney has a joint in our liv-
ing room wall and this joint
is very thin and has been
patched with spackling plaster.
We don't mind the bulge, but
the paint cracks and peels off
this bulge. We have used a
rubber-base paint. How can we
treat this place so the paint will
stay on?
Answer: The bulging plaster
and the peeling paint are caused
by the penetration of moisture
and the only procedure to stop
this condition is to eliminate the
seepage. If this is an outside
chimney there may be an open
joint between the chimney and
the exterior wall. All such
places should be filled with a
caulking compound. If it is an
inside chimney, check the con-
dition Of the hashings on the
roof. After eliminating the leak.

Moisture In Attic. n
Question - We have new
home built Of cinder block and
brick. There are four rooms
downstairs and a bedroom and
hallway in the attic. We put
insulation around the rooms,
louvres were put on each end
of the house. There was SO much
moisture in the attic space that
the ceilings Of the downstairs
rooms were wet. Should we have
insulated the whole roof? Would
a ventilating fan in the kitchen
correct this? Another thing:
During the last two winters the
roof shingJes raised up. What
causes this?
Answer-Evidently there is not
enough ventilation in the attic.
There should be at least one
square foot of louvre opening for
each 800 square feet of horizon
tai attic space. In addition to
this, to obtain thorough circula-
tion of air above the insulation,
small louvres should be inserted
in the caves of the roof.
The excessive presence of
moisture in the attic area is also
the cause Of the raised shingles.
This is due to the swelling and
warpage in order to exhaust all
OF the vapor to the outdoors
instead of increasing the mois-
ture content in the air of the
house. Insulation directly under
the roof would not be advisable.
