ton said.
The items were offered as
brass, but some sharp-eyed bid
ders recogized them as silver
and the bidding leaped from 8
cents to $1.90 to 81 a pound.
Air Force spokesman said the
surplus decorations included all
types of emblems and uniform
accessories. such as airmen's
wings, Silver Stars, out-of -date
air medals. the controversial,
~. S." emblem and identifying
pins for ratings such as engineer
aircraft technician and GROUND

The Air Force said it didn't
know how much was put up fol
sale, but other sources said il
would total about SO tons. AL
sales have been Cancelled under
a law which forbids the Govern.
ment to sell gold and silver al
surplus.

The Mccarthy Investigations
subcommittee meets in closed
session today to consider the
case Of Thomas w. LaVenia,
staff investigator who was de-
MED Defense Department clear
ance for access to classified or
secret material.
Senator Mccarthy demanded
that officials Of Defense and the
Justice Department appear at
the meeting and explain why
clearance was denied. He said
the departments refusal so far
to supply information in the
case "leaves a cloud upon both
the department and Mr.. La
Venia."
Brucker Due to Appear.
A spokesman disclosed that
the Defense Departments gen.
eral counsel, Wilbur NJ. Brucker,
would appear at the session. He
would not say whether the de-
partment had decided to make
any change in its refusal to say
why Mr.. LaVenia was denied
clearance.
Unless Mr.. LaVenia, a former
Secret Service agent, is con-
firmed by majority vote Of the
seven-member subcommittee by
July 81 he will be separated
from the staff payroll. although
without prejudice" That is in
accord with a resolution already
adopted by the subcommittee.
The group promised Mr.. La
Venia hearing. He will get 1t
regardless of whether Defense
and Justice officials show up
today.
1886 Association Cited.
One Of the reasons. repeatedly.
Mr.. LaVenia was denied clear
ance was q passing association
in 1886 while in college with an
organization which Senator Nc
Carthy once described as a
Communications"
The name of the organization
with which Mr.. LaVenia re-
portedly had a passing associa-
ton was given as the American
Law Students Association. An
Official of the American Law
Student Association, an affiliate
of the American Bar Association,
pointed out that his group had
no connection with the organi-
zation Senator Mccarthy once
said was left-wing.
The American Law Student
Association was set up only In
1949 and includes among its
members students in Washing
tons seven law schools. I

whether her husband was ever
connected with the fund.
Still reading from the tram
script, Senator Capehart said it
showed Mr.. Rodman had refused
to answer questions about any
contributions to a Communist
organization.
The Senator made the point
that the committee was inter-
ested in learning whether money
from a Federal Housing ADJ
ministration insured building
mortgage-Treasury funds con-
tributed by the taxpayers-may
have been used for activities
definitely un-American."
Senator Capehart referred to
Mrs. Rodman's refusal to answer
as hiding" behind the fifth
amendment. Mr.. Rodman OBJ
;acted to that word and said
! 5. Rodman, "as I recall it,
used the fifth amendment
which constitutionally allows
her not to testify against her
self"

The witness referred to Sem
ator Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, and his practice OF
calling persons who invoke the
amendment as fifth arnend-

Capehart withdrew the word

Mr.. Rodman testified he has
sold his interest in two of the
Atlantic Gardens units but that
the third is held by the Chesa-
peake Construction Co., of which
he is the principal stakeholder
He said the FILA mortgage COM
mitment ON this unit was ST.

construction was $1.370.986, and
that the profit to the construc-
ton company and the sponsor
amounted to $172, 500.

Rodman said the Chesapeake

Capehart Explains.
Later on, Senator Capehar
said that when he used tn
term "windfall," he was talkin
about the difference between tn
actual costs of a project an
the larger amounts in FILA
guaranteed mortgages.
He pointed out that unde
Section SOB procedure in the &C
for guaranteeing loans on rents
housing the mortgages should nc
have exceeded 80 per cent of tn
evaluation of the property. Blu
he added, since architects an
builders were allowed 5 per cen

to 100 per cent.

There are literally hundreds of
ways to serve apples to the fam
lily, out-of-hand for after school
snacks, fried for a delicious side
dish with the meal, baked for des-
sert, not to mention apple salad,
apple pie, brown Betty, and apple
pan-dowdy. Apples are a good
source of Vitamin c especially
when eaten out-of-hand. They also
furnish other valuable food nu-
trients and minerals, and promote
general good health.
Get your family's share of the
1854 apple crop now, when the
prices are lowest. You can save
money by storing them at home,
and you'll have apples whenever
you want them.

Many girls write letters to this
column complaining that their
parents insist on meeting their
dates before they are permitted to
go out, and most girls seem to
think it is unfair.
But do you know lots of boys
must introduce their girls to their
parents before they date them.
You might not realize it, but that
casual invitation to holiday or
birthday party at his home may be
just to give his Nom and Pop that
look-See.
The famous father of four boys,
Bing Crosby, said in recent ar
ticle that he insists on meeting
every girl his four sons date.
So there you have it. Well
brought-up boys have the anne
problem Only they don't talk a.
bout it. A boy who wants to meet
in secret should certainly arouse
your suspicious.
IF your date seems to dodge the
issue of greeting your parents ask
yourself these questions:
1. Does he try to avoid meeting
your family, perhaps inventing
reasons why it is more practical
for you to meet him elsewhere?
2. If your parents inform you
and him that you must be home
at a particular hour, does he try
to keep you out beyond that time?
3. Are there occasions when you
could be introduced to his parents,
except that he studiously avoids
the meeting?
4. Does he do irresponsible
things such as borrow" his fa-
theirs car without permission?
5. Do your brothers like him?
If not, why not? Do their crit
icismS seem justified?
6. What do other girls who have
dated him say about him? You
shouldn't projudge him. But their
experiences might be worth lis
tening to.
Z. What does he do in his spare
time? Are his recreations whole
some or is he a thrill seeker?
8. If your parents have met him,
what do they think of him?
9. Is he popular with his class
mates?
10. Is he courteous after a gay
evening or does he insist on neck
ing before he takes you home?
Very few parents ever object to
nice boys dating their darling
daughters, if they permit them to
date at ell. 1t seems foolish to try
to keep a date secret or meet a
boy on the sly. A girl who does is
likely to infuriate her parents, be-
cause after all their attitude might
be land rightly sol ''if the boy is
nice what has she got to hide?"

But with all the talk about
Trieste, nothing was said about
one of the greatest accomplish
ments of past two years, the
creation of the Small Business
Administration now making
great strides in breathing new
life into battered hulk of Ameri-
can independent enterprise. /.
Great campaign stress was al
so made that administration has
not hired any communists. The
people are stiIl concerned about
communists, but in 1852 when
they felt that there was lamess
toward communists, they hired
new bunch of boys to handle situ-
alton. Naturally, they expect that
Job to continue. But communities

stances, full understanding Of

Concentration on sideshows,

created many voter doubts, even
fears, post-election study shows.
There was feeling that with re-
Iuctance to campaign on Small
Business Administration benefits
plans are in wind to bow to de-
mands of big financial interests
to abolish SBA. Reluctance to
talk about Stanley Barnes was
taken as sign that perhaps as
was done in previous administra-
