RUG PATTERN?

mrs. E.S.M., CheUerly)
In the February issue of
Good Housekeeping, on page
81, there was a picture of an
early American bedroom, and
on the floor was a hooked rug
OF the United States Seal. I
wrote to the magazine and
they were unable to tell me
where to get a similar pat
tern. They did say, however,
that it was evidently the own
er's design. Perhaps some of
you hooked rug enthusiasts
have seen such a pattern. Can
anyone help me?

DOG ON BoAT9
Mrs C. K B. ALern116

iMTS. Z. n. D., AtSIUHUTtu/
We are moving to Japan
and probably will go by boat.
We would like to take our
dog. I would be most CRATE
full to hear from some one
who has travelled by boat with
a dog. I understand he has
to have q cage, but does he
have any runway or place to
60 for q walk? Is any special
food required? Also, is it very
hot or cold where they are
kept? I would love to know
from some one who has had
this experience if they would
do it again.

BOSTON.
MrS. D. c., Falls Church,

'"1fo 0s SsS 3 UttO NftUf CII
Last fall I had two very good
friends move to Boston. I was
there from 1946-1948. so I
will pass on what information
I can, hoping it will help you.
All apartments are all hard
to find, garden apartment de-
velopments are very limited.
Rents are higher than here in
Virginia! A one bedroom
apartment rents for $4,000 and
that does not include stove or
refrigerator. One couple I know
found a duplex house to be the
answer. There is a development
Of duplex houses out in Hing
ham, but they are poorly con-
structed. For example, the
basement has no electric out
let in which to plug washing
machine, etc. It is cheaper
to rent or buy a house than
to rent an apartment. There
are more houses than apart
ments available.
I hope you like Boston. I
loved it. The winters are more
severe than in Washington
but the summers are just as
hot.
Here's a tip: Ammonia in hot
water really cuts grease. Use
1t for washing blinds, windows,
brushes and combs. (For q
brush, use warm water.)
Now a query. My angle cake
tin has two gadgets on the
sides that slip up and down
to make 1t easier to remove
the cake. An excellent idea,
but they do not fit tight
enough. Consequently. I lose
aboue half the cake batter
before it is baked sufficiently
not to run out. Has anyone
any suggestions?
One more tip: Those small
pieces left from a cake of soap
should not be thrown out. I
never could bear to throw them
out. My two and a half year
old daughter is now using them
up. I give one to her when
she washes hands," which She
does for an hour at a time. She
loves them.

 The Senate Internal Security subcommittee, reporting Satur- day, recommended that 'evi- dence of Soviet use of interna- tional agencies as cover for espionage on American soil'' be sent to Secretary of State Dulles as a basis for a possible protest to Russia.
 Reviewing an investigation for possible Communists among Am ericans on the JUN. staff, the nine member subcommittee re- ported, ''there are strong indica- tions that this fifth column" also includes citizens of other non- Communist countries"

Champion Hunter To Retire After Capture Of 7512-Inch Rattlesnake

OKEENE, Okla, R - T h e champion hunter of the 18th An nual Rattlesnake Roundup said today he was ready to retire after capturing the biggest rattler in the history of the event.
 ''This might be a good time to quit" said Russell Strayhorn, a rugged, bronzed outdoorsman who collars the deadly diamondbacks in their own dens.
 At least my wife thinks so'
 Strayhorn, 48, said the monster Texas diamond-back he shared with his partner yesterday was the longest he had ever seen 7512 inches of buzzing, deadly reptile. And he estimates he has caught 2,OOO of them alive in his 19-year career.
 It topped the catch of 1,576 hauled squirming from their rocky havens on Salt Creek Can yon west of here in the safari sponsored by the Rattlesnake Roundup, billed as the worlds most unusual sporting event. The hunt attracted an estimated 10000 spCrtsmen from 26 states.

Chief Of Dope Ring Dies Without Divulging Names Of Men Who Shot Him

CHICAGO, R- Anthony Pape, true to gangland tradition, died last night without divulging who gunned down him and his bro- ther two days earlier.
 Pape, 40-year-old reputed chief of 10-million dollar-a-year dope ring, succumbed to eight gun shot wounds in the head, back and arms.
 He died without naming the as sailants who apparently were in the back seat of the automobile in which Pape and his post office clerk brother, James, 36, were fatally shot.
 Police Saturday said they be- lieved Anthony Pape was slain to prevent him from making a deal to tell federal authorities about a counterfeiting ring in exchange for clemency on narcotics charges he faced.
 But Asst. U. s. AttH James Piragine said there never was any indication that the elder Pape was prepared to "squea1."
 James Pape apparently was an innocent victim who was slain only because he was with his brother at the time.

French Launch Counter
 Attack For Dien Bien Phu

HANOI, Indochina, R-French Union troops, charging with fixed bayonets, launched a strong coun- terattack today against thousands of Vietminh rebels trying to smash through to the heart of Dien Bien Phu from the east and southeast.
 The immediate objective of the rampaging Vietminh assault ap- peared again to be a 1,200-foot- high hill overlooking the French fortress and only five-eighths of a mile from it's center. The French seized the strtegic height from the rebels in surprise offensive Sat urday and have held it against four big counterattacks.

Atty. Gen. Opposes Plan To Outlaw
 Communist Party

WASHINGTON, R-Atty. Gen. Brownell today strongly opposed legislative proposals to outlaw the Communist party in this country. He said such action would hinder rather than help the drive against Communism.
 The attorney general told a House Judiciary subcommittee that any law making it a crime, of itself, to join the party, would send the movement entirely un- derground and increase the all ready difficult investigatory job of the FyBI."
 In addition, he asserted that such law would raise constitu- tional questions which would cer- tainly be tested at great length in the courts, thus interfering with the numerous actions now being taken to curb Communism by bringing the organization and it's members into the full light of publicity.
 In lieu of outlawing the party, the attorney general offered the subcommittee 10 suggestions of his own for tightening the laws relating to subversion. Some of these he had proposed as long ago as last year. He detailed all of them in a telecast last Friday night designed to reassure the country that although Commun- ists are in our midst, much has been done and is being done to nullify their movement.

Barrow Missionary Sights Downed Airmen On Arctic Ice FlOe

FAIRBANKS, R - A flying missionary sighted three missing men and their grounded plane on the frozen Arctic Ocean and ra- dioed the word that led to their rescue by another airman, it was learned Saturday.
 The missing Air Force Beaver plane with three men aboard was located by the Rev. William Wartes, Presbyterian missionary at Barrow, who flies his own plane out of Alaska's northern most community.
 The plane had been missing since Friday on a flight from Barrow to Umiat, in the naval oil reserve.
 After the flying missionary sighted them, pilot George Thiele of Wien Alaska Airlines, landed, picked them up and flew them to Barrow.
 The men said they had walked 10 miles in deep snow after their plane was forced down 12 miles off shore when the wings iced up.
 It was the second rescue off the Arctic ice pack for Pilot Thiele. He made a hazardous landing on ice floes several months ago to rescue Jules Thebe- deau.

Anchorage Volunteer Fireman Confesses To Setting Costly Blazes

ANCHORAGE, H-An Anchor age volunteer fireman who sue cumbed to "an urge" was charged Saturday with setting the $125,00O fire at the Anchorage High School auditorium.
 Edwin Meier, 20, also admitted setting a dozen or so other fires, including a $150,OOO blaze at the National Guard Armory.
 Meier, taken into custody Fri day night after a home fire in a sparsely settled area south of the city, broke down under police questioning and said in a signed statement:
 T knew when I set those fires that it was wrong. But all of a sudden an urge comes over me and I get all tensed up."
 Federal authorities indicated they may take action against Meier, who was released on $5,0OO bond, for the armory fire.

ROnania Releases Sons of Ceorgescu

FRANKFURT, Germany, R - Communist Romania today re- leased the two sons of Valeriu C. Georgescu, a Romania-born Am erican who had refused to be blacknailed into spying to win their release.
 Misty eyed, the father and sons were reunited in West Germany.
 It was the first time Georgescu had seen the boys since 1947 - when he and his wife left Bucha- rest on a two-month visit to the United States.
 "As representative of Ameri- can capital Che was president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey in Romania) they wouldn't let me come back" he said, land refused to let our sons join us."
 The boys are Constantin, now 19, and Peter IS, who smiled as they talked with their father Mrs Georgescu remained in New York.
 The State Department said last May 26 that Chistache Zambeti, legation first secretary of the Ro- manian delegation, tried to sub vert Georgescue into spying for the Communists.
 "The price for this collabora- tion," the State Department said, twas to be the welfare" of the two sons.
 But Georgescue refused, after Zambeti's visit, Georgescu report ed the incident to the State De- partment, which forced the recall of the Romanian diplomat. Zam- beti left, complaining he had been framed.

Wife of Sitka
 Minister Chosen '54 Alaska Mother

JUNEAU - Susan Evans Smith Chapman, the wife of the Rev. Henry Chapman of Sitka, has been chosen as Alaska Mother of 1854, it was announced today by Acting Governor Waino E. Hend- rickson. Mrs. Chapman, who for many years was resident of Anvik on the lower Yukon River, was one of ten Alaska mothers nominated for the honor this year according to Mrs. Elmer Sellin of Anchorage, chairman of the Am erican Mothers Committee of the Golden Rule Foundation. Mrs. Sellin and a special committee set up by her made the selection.
 As Alaska Mother of 1854, Mrs. Chapman will now vie with moth CTS chosen by all the states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Dis trict of Columbia for the honor of being selected as the American National Mother of the Year.
 The Rev. Henry Chapman was born at Anvik where his father the Rev. John w. Chapman es- tablished Christ Church Episco- pal Mission. Mrs. Chapman was born at Scotland Neck, NC. and attended St. Mary's Junior Col lege at Raleigh, NC. and Deacon ness House at Philadelphia. She was married to the Rev. Chapman in 1928 and from then until 1948 they lived at Anvik where he was in charge of the mission. For the past six years the Chapmans have lived at Sitka.
 The Chapmans have three dau- ghters, May Seely, A, Laura Clark, 21, and Anne Hamblin, Is.
 The Acting Governor has pro- claimed the week of April 1925 Alaska Mothers Week during which Mrs. Chapman and the other nine nominees for Alaska mother will be especially hon. ored throughout the territory.
 The nominee from Nome was Mrs. w. B. Mccarthy.

Washington Post Suggests Governors Partition Plan Lets Administration
 Off The Hook Respecting Possible Veto

JUNEAU - Governor B. Frank Heintzleman advised his office to- day that the following editorial appeared yesterday in the Wash ington Post and Times Herald, a leading supporter of statehood for Alaska:
 If the suggested partitioning of Alaska will make statehood for the populous area more accept able to the House and to the ad- minlStration, the compromise needs to be seriously considered. No doubt many A1askans will be strongly opposed to any division of their territory; and unquestion- ably a partition into populated and sparsely settled areas would create a vast number of admins trative problems. The question needs to be debated, however, in terms of the m jor objective which is to surmount the road block to statehood for both Ha- Waii and Alaska.
 Evidently the suggestion was put forward by Gov. Heintzleman as a means of taking the admin istration off the hook respecting a possible veto of the combined Hawaii-Alaska bill. President Eli senhower said Wednesday that if the Alaska measure were to ex- clude the outer reaches along the Boring Sea and Arctic Ocean he would look at it with a different viewpoint. This may be worth while hint for action in the House.
 'This newspaper has not sym pathized with the contention that statehood for the entire territory would hamper military defense. The defense interest in Alaska is great; but whatever was done, the powers of the federal govern ment would remain paramount. Actually, a stable state govern ment which would spur develop ment of the region might be a help to military organization. It would be easy to set up more military districts.
 "Nonetheless, what might be done now by way of compromise on statehood could be amended later to take in more or all of the 586,000 square mile territory. It would be desirable, however, to avoid the sort of boundary dis pute that developed in Hawaii over the Leeward Islands and Palmyra (the latter finally having been excluded from the statehood bilD. In other words, it would be wise to avoid an attempt to write fixed boundaries into the state hood bill. Possibly a congressional commission could be designated to study and fix the boundaries of the new state subject to leg islative approval. Whatever the drawbacks to the proposal to limit statehood to the more homogen- eous part of Alaska, in terms of practical politics it might be what is needed to get over the hurdle'' y
