Paint will accomplish wonders
as will wallpaper-in achiev-
ing a new, fresh, clean look. And
the furniture which the home
lobbyist makes becomes a def
mite part of the home when the
final finish is applied. However,
in all instances, the final finish
will only be as good as the prep
aration of the surface of the
wall, Dashboard, ceiling, door,
desk or table.
Many individuals recognize
the value of sanding a surface
in preparation for applying
paint or wallpaper, in order to
obtain smooth surface. But
too often sanding is delegated
to just piece of sapdpaper or
a bit of sandpapet wrapped
around a small piece of board.
Now on the market at an ex-
ceptionally low price is hand
sander that is properly designed
to fit the hand and sturdy
enough to withstand rough ham
ding. In addition to making the
sanding job easier, it also makes
possible the abandonment of un-
even, awkward wood blocks and
other sanding makeShifts.
Made Of plastic construction,

paper from shifting. The unit

itself has a 3-inch width. which
means that standard Sandpaper
cuts out 3 widths to the sheet
and there is no need to pur-
chase pre-cut sandpaper.
The front of this hand sander
features a curved front edge for
sanding hollowS while the broad
3x6-inch level sanding base pre-
vents rocking. For more efficient
sanding the plastic base is sep
arated from the sandpaper by
a specially constructed rubber
pad which cushions the sanding
action. Both of the rear edges
are sharp edges well adapted to
sanding corners. The top and
bottom of the unit separate for
easy cleaning, while a positive,
screw action knob holds the
sandpaper tight. so that it can't
slip.
Sink Strainer.
Women who go about their
kitchen chores in fear that a ring
or other valued piece of jewelry
will be washed down the drain
and irretrievably lost can now
breathe more easily. Now being
marketed is a sink strainer which
is a "strainer within a strainer,"
in that it permits the sink to do
it's basic job of holding water and
at the same time sets up an effec-
tive barrier against the loss of
small items.

Military Seeks
NewSiteS For
Command Posts
BY ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON W ~ The mill.
tary, with an eye on the hydrogen
bomb, is taking another look a,
plans for alternate emergency com.
mand posts If the capital faces air
attack.
Questions have been raised, II
was learned today, over the wis.
dom of concentrating the military
high command at a single location,
such as the man-made cavern in
western Maryland.
While that underground installa.
ton would be used for its original
purpose of a central emergency
communications center, 1t might
not become the temporary head.
quarters for the entire Joint Chiefs
Of Staff and military commands Of
the three major services - an al.
ternate Pentagon.
Instead, consideration has veered
lately toward a dispersal Of the
headquarters of the several armed
forces TO separate points outside
the capital area. Initial thinking
was toward use Of established mil.
itary centers, such as Fl. Belvoir,
Va, about Is miles south Of the
District of Columbia; Ft. Meade,
Nd, about 20 miles east; and Nor.
folk, Va, $50 air miles to the south.
But a re-evaluation Of the poten-
tialities of the hydrogen bomb,
made after the giant test explosion
at the Marshall Islands proving
ground last spring, apparently has
brought new ideas about the blast
destruction. Estimates Of the zone
Of major damage from H-bomb
blast effect alone run as much as
$50 miles from the point Of detona-
ton.
While the underground installa-
ton at Fl. Ritchie, about 10 miles
northwest of Washington in Freder-
lex County, Md. presumably
would escape the blast of a bomb
exploded over the capital, 1t could
be vulnerable TO one dropped with
the purpose Of "cratering out" the
subterranean installation.
A civilian defense test made last
summer repeatedly indicated the
need for greater dispersal than pre-
viously planned not only of mill
tary command posts but Of civilian
government agencies.
The Atomic Energy Commission
began planning months ago to
move its headquarters out of Wash
ington. Officials say no definite
site has been selected yet. The Fed
eral Civil Defense Administration
already is moving far away from
Washington to Battle Greek,
Mich.
