Christmas gift to friend or rel
ative who does her own sewing,
why not give her something that
will make her sewing experiences
more pleasant?
Some inexpensive gifts which
will be appreciated are notions
such as colorful braid, tape, pin
cushions, or a seam gauge. Fab
ric and matching thread is a nice
way to give dress or skirt, or
curtains--or what have you.
"A gift should reflect the per-
sonality of the one who receives
it, says Miss Ruth Pearce, Ex-
tension clothing specialist at the
University of Delaware.
Selecting gifts of this type
shows that you recognize the in
terests of the person who sews, I"
she adds. 90

MOSCOW, Sept. Russian
Arctic explorers camped on an
ice foe near the North Pole are
growing their own lettuce and
radishes in seedboxes filled with
soil from the Soviet Union, the
Communist Youth League organ
Komsomol Pravda reported to-
day.
In a front-page dispatch date
lined North Pole Station Three, u
Komsomol Pravda described the
polar expedition as scientific in
purpose. The Soviet press de-
scribes United States Arctic ex-
plorations as inspired by military
ends.
The presence Of two groups of
Russians on ice foes near the
North Pole was disclosed only in
recent weeks. but they have
been there since spring.
The dispatch said two different
seedboxes were used in the hor-
ticultural experiment. one COW
cred with black paper to attract
the rays of the sun. In this one,
it said, sprouts of lettume and
radish plants appeared three
days earlier than in the uncov-
cred box. The first small radishes
were reported ready for har-
vest after two months.

Pool Bars Negroes;
Manager Held Guilty
/. BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A.
The manager Of one of Phila-
delphia's largest privately owned
swimming pools was found guilty
of contempt of court today for
refusing to admit Negroes to the
pool.
A bench warrant was issued
for Martin j. Cunningham, man
ager of the Boulevard Pool in
northeast Philadelphia.
The decision of Common Pleas
Court No. 2 was announced by
President Judge Edwin o. Lewis.
Today's decision was the re-
suit of a suit filed last year by
the American Civil Liberties
Union, the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, and the Commission on
Human Relations. an agency Of
the Philadelphia city govern
ment.
State and local laws forbid
discrimination against persons
because of race. color or creed.
Management of the pool con-
tended that only members of an
affiliated club were admitted to
the pool, and that to open the
membership-and therefore use
OF the pool-to Negroes would
result in such a loss of business
that the pool would be forced to
suspend operation.

Adenauer Promises
Germany viii Limit
Arms Voluntarily
BY The A.soeiased Press

BONN. Germany. Sept. A.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to-
night pledged that, even after
obtaining full sovereignty, West
Germany would voluntarily limit
her armed forces.
In q broadcast over all West
German radio networks, the 10
year-old chancellor said:
The Federal republic will be
ready to impose on itself, even
when in possession OF full sover-
eighty, those restrictions on its
armament which the continual
ton Of the European policy re-
quires."
At the same time Mr.. Adenauer
rejected the idea of an early con-
ference Of the United States,
Britain, France and Russia over
Germany.
The question of Germany and
European security will have to
be solved by such a Big -Four con-
ference one day, he said. but the
socialist opposition demand for
an early meeting els in no way
compatible with German inter-
ests."
Unity Policy Unchanged.
He was discussing conse-
quenceS Of the French Parlia-
ment's vote last Monday killing
the six-nation European Defense
Community treaty. under which
West German troops would have
been enrolled in a unified army.
He recalled that the Bonn gov
eminent this week demanded
that the allies give West Ger
many full sovereignty and the
right to make, without discrimi-
nation, a contribution to West
ern defense.
But he emphasized that did
not mean a change in his gov
ernment's policy Of promoting
European unity.
1.-THE federal republic will al
ways be ready to integrate her
national armed forces in a Eu-
ropean army, just as are Bel
GUM, the Netherlands, Luxem-
bourg, Italy and we hope -
France" he said.
Tries to Heal Breach.
Mr.. Adenauer made a consid-
cradle effort to heal the breach
between France and West Ger
many over the collapse of EDO.
He said his governments deci-
sion to negotiate with the United
States and Britain had been
criticized by the German Social
list opposition as an attempt to
snub or isolate France.
THAT is, of course, nonsense"
he said. mo responsible German
politician would think of isola-
ton or brushing off of France.

Davis Strongly Advocates
Local Electric Power Sway
McKoy's Top Aide
Would Halt Spread
Of Federal Control
By l. Edgar Primo

The new Undersecretary Of
Interior, Clarence A. Davis, is an
outspoken Mid-westerner who
believes administration ofIicials
should proclaim more boldly the
new Eisenhower power policy
that an areas electric energy
supply Is a local responsibility.
And the 61-year-old Nebraska
lawyer who this past week sue
ceeded Ralph A. Tudor as the
No. man under Secretary
Mckay. is a man to follow his
own advice.
In an interview in his old
oflce-he had been department
solicitor since February, 1853
Mr.. Davis said he saw no reason
to burden the country with addi-
tional taxation for the building
of new Federal hydroelectric
plants when States, cities and
private utilities are ready, willing
and able to do it.
Fright now, at the Federal
Power Commission. there are APP
plications for licenses to produce
some 3 to 4. million more
kilowatts q year." he asserted.
This would mean a total in
vestment Of about SIS billion.
About two-thirds Of 1t is repre-
sented by local or State govern
ments; the rest by private
corporations.
IF these applicants can do the
job-as they maintain they can
then it is in the best interests
Of the country to let them do
it,"
Declaring that he was not
Pumping for private utilities, the
Undersecretary said his chief
concern was in hating the
spread Of Federal domination
in the power business. It makes
no difference to him, he indi-
Gated, whether State or local
governments or private enter
prise assume the task Of sup
plying electric power in any
given area.
Mr.. Davis is an opponent. in
principle, Of valley schemes"
such as the years-old proposal
for the Missouri Valley, because
they mean overall Federal
management of an entire area"
The Undersecretary called the
administration policy a return
to the historic American way
Of development of the natural
resources of the country by the
initiative and industry of its
citizens and not under the domi-
mating hand of a Federal bu-
reaucracy."
To attack this policy as q
"giveaway" is false and demo-
gogic," he said. It can only be
the slogan, he added, of "those
persons who believe that all of
the natural resources Of the
country should remain perpetu-
ally under Federal ownership
and management"
