to VarniSh the kitchen floor? If there
is ever a time when everything and
everybody conspire to Illustrate you,
that is the time Why, even the teach
erS and the weatherman are against
you!
For months you've been wanting to
varniSh the kitchen floor. Finally, you
have your four-hour varnish, your
brushes and other equipment. The floor
is cleaned and prepared. The children
are safely off to school, dad is outside
working.
You get the varniSh on the floor. You
open the windows. Now for a little
wedding OUT in the garden, then a ses-
sion with the mending basket. Today
there won't be any cooking to do, as,
naturally you can't get over to the
cookStove. But you have prepared a
cold lunch on the dining room table.
so now for a carefree day.
That's what you think. What invari-
ably happens is that the weatherman
sends along the best dust storm of the
season, followed by the wettest, biggest
rain in years. Teacher declares a holi-
day. Isn't that always the way?
The kids, with pals, converge on the
kitchen (isn't the kitchen the warmest,
contest, most home-like room in the
houSe?). The bad weather draws father
into the house also. Naturally he can't
z afford to waste his valuable time, so
he sharpens saws, works on generators,
or something. Where? In the kitchen,
of course. Isn't that the work room?
On seeing everybody head for the
kitchen, you have, of course, placed
apple box boards and oak leaves from
the dining room table so as to form
paths from door to door to sink to
stove.
Out from storage comes the old yarn
about the wife who laid out her hus-
band with an oak leaf But other than
that. the family pay no attention to
the apple boards and oak leaves. The
cat gets stuck in the varnish, and has
to be helped out. The dog acts injured
when his feet adhere to varnish, and
goes into the dining room.
Carefully the family avoid stepping
on the boards, until finally some one
stubs his toe and goes down in defeat.
leaving not only footprints but also
hand and knee prints. Long gone are
your visions of cleaning varnish like
that shown in ads.
Father, who seems to have been
waiting for this moment, now DEGREES
that life and limb are more valuable
than fresh varnish. A broken leg is
expensive, but you can always put on
another coat of varnish tomorrow. Off
come the boards.
Father wouldn't be quite so carefree
about that varnish if he had plotted
and planned for months to put it on.
You wonder how other women manage
to get varnish on their kitchen floors.
Vanishing: That is the least part Of
it. What's hard is protecting it till il
gets dry. You'd think they could stay
out of the kitchen four hours.
You think that only a few experiences
compare with vanishing the floor. One
is painting floors, in which case foot
prints from all members of the family

Family Misidentified
In Chasanow Case

Mrs. Miriam A. Solomon told
The Star today that she and her
husband, Morris j. Solomon,
who live at 2-E Westway street,
Greenbelt. Md, are being mis-
takenly identified with the
Abraham Chasanow case.
Papers filed in the case of
Mr.. Chasanow; who was fired
by the Navy early this month
as a security risk, mention
Linda and Morris Solomon as
associates of Mr.. Chasanow. Mr..
Chasanow SAID it was definitely
established at the original hear
ing of the charges against him
that the Solomon couples are
not the same.
Mrs. Miriam Solomon said
she and her husband moved to
Greenbelt in 1850, and at that
time Linda and Morris Solomon
lived there at another address.
She said they had been con-
fused with the other Solomons
before. in connection with mail
deliveries.
Mr.. Chasanow is being given
a hearing Monday on his COM
plaint that he was fired without
reason after a security hearing
board cleared him of all charges
filed by the Navy.

Senator's See Failure
At Geneva as Spur
To Far East 'NA!0'
BY Jack Bell
Associated Press Staf Writer

Senators Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin and Ferguson. Repub-
lican, Michigan. said today any
failure of the Geneva conference
to bring agreements on Korea
and Indo-C China may hasten
American efforts to build an anti
Communist military alliance in
the Pacific.
Senator Wiley, who heads the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and Senator Ferguson,
chairman of the G.. o. p. Policy
Committee. said in separate in
terviews they see little prospect
of either uniting Korea or bring
ing peace to Indo-C China at the
Geneva meeting.
But each said he expects Sec
retary of State Dulles to press
United States allies for commit
ments to a new Pacific coalition
pledged to united action"
When he left here for Geneva
last night, Mr.. Dulles said recent
reckless assaults" by the Reds
IN Indo-China are mot a good
prelude
He was reported to have en-
phaSlzed to congressional leaders
OF both parties at a conference
yesterday that one of his chief
hopes is to effect a Far Eastern
alliance to offset the threat of
all-out Chinese Communist par
tlcipation in the Indo-China war.
Senator Ferguson said he
doubts that much will be ac-
complished in attempts to agree
with Russia and Red China at
Geneva.
IF this conference fails to
bring an agreement, I don't see
I.hoW our friends of the free
world can help but see the need
for a Pacific alliance" he said.
Senator Wiley said that while
he is somewhat more optimistic,
he also feels that failure at
Geneva would stimulate action
toward formation of~a "NATO
of the Pacific"

legislation to permit employees to
save as much as 60 days of
annual leave from year to year
and UP to 80 days for overseas
employees and those who saved
excess amounts of leave during
World War II.
Mr.. Rees' bill differs from the
Broyhill measure in that the
employees could be paid a maxi
mum of only 80 days in lump
sum cash payments on leaving
the Government, with the other
80 days to be used for vacation
purposes. The Broyhill bill would
allow the so days leave accumu-
lation to be used at the employees

Collins Urges OAR
To Back NAT0 as Pari
OF Nation S Defense

Gen. j. Lawton Collins ap-
pealed to the Daughters of the
American Revolution last night
for greater understanding and
support of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Gen. Collins, United States
representative on the Military
Committee and Standing Group
of NATO. spoke at the second
night session of the 63d Conti-
mental Congress in Constitution
Hall.
The NATO program, he
stressed, is an integral part of
plans for the defense of the
United States. and not merely
for the defense of Europe.
In these days of rising air
power" he told the Daughters,
''it is plain common. sense to
build our military protection of
the United States as far away as
1t is possible to do So"
Troops Defend U. S., He Says.
He reiterated that this coun-
try's troops and air groups in
Europe are not there merely to
defend Europe, but primarily to
protect the United States.
Gen. Collins called the Com
munist bloc the only source of
the military threat to this coun-
try's security and pointed out
that east of the Iron Curtain
are the worlds largest armies
ITS Soviet divisions, of which
one-third are either mechanical
or armored. and 10 additional
satellite divisions-equipped with
more than 10000 tanks.
Soviet air power" he con-
tinued, ''is estimated at some
10000 operational aircraft, in
Guiding many jet types"
This country's concept of de-
fe11se is not one of matching
division for division, ship for
ship, or plane for plane, he
said.
1t rests first on the creation
of a defensive shield designed
to prevent the overrunning of
Europe and to nullify direct
attack on the United States.
Secondly" he continued, 'it
rests on the creation of counter
offensive forces, mostly air, with
the requisite bases possessing the
capacity for devastating counter
blows if the Communists should
ever launch an attack"
Fulton Lewis. jr., radio COM
mentator, shared the speakers
platform with Gen. Collins.

Thirty New Vessels
Proposed in Nays
Construction BUDGET

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Feb.
13.-Thirty new Naval vessels
are proposed in the Nays bill
lion-dollar 1954-55 construction
budget pending before Congress,
Representative E. j. Robson,
tr., Democrat, of Virginia, said
today.
The sum also includes. he
added, money for the conversion
of IA other vessels.
Mr.. Robson obtained a break
down on the Nays 1954-55 con-
struction plans from the House
subcommittee on appropriations
handling the Nays budget.
President Eisenhower, in present.
ing his budget recommendations
to Congress last month, men
toned that a fourth ForreStal-
class carrier would be sought in
the new fiscal program.
But Mr.. Robson reported he
also had learned the program
calls for conversion or modern
tzation of two big aircraft car
riers. No class of vessel was
listed and probably will not be
disclosed until hearings begin on
the budget in two or three weeks.
At the Pentagon, an official
said virtually all the 80 war;
ships to be built are small. He
said a number of destroyers and
destroyer escorts are included in
the list.
Of the 81 billion total, $3.50
million has been earmarked for
''repricing of old programs-that
is. is to take care of increased
labor and material costs since
the contracts were let"
Some 5000 million also has
been earmarked for the 10000
ton Forrestal-claSs carrier.
