Screens Keep Leaves Out Of Cutters

lift the bottom edges of these
sufficiently to slide one side Of
the hardware cloth under them
and tack it in place. A staple
gun speeds the job but you can
use hammer and small wire
staples to hold the cloth in
place. The important thing is
to do the mailing beneath the
shingles and not through them.
Where roofs are covered with
asbestos shingles or slate. it Is
usually only necessary to push
the cloth up between the shin
giles and the sheathing where
it will be held sufficiently Sc
cure without mailing.
Hardware cloth is heavily gal
vanized and should require no
painting or maintenance.
Preventing Silver Tarnish.
II have several brass objects
which are lacquered and never
require polishing but some silver
requires constant attention.
Could I have this silver lacquered
also?" asks Mrs. L. F.
Answer-You could, but it is
not a good idea. Silver-plated
chandeliers are lacquered to
prevent furnishing but then
these are not subject to close
inspection as would be decorative
pieces such as silver bowls and
candlesticks. Lacquer on silver
is very obvious and not too pleas
ing in appearance.
A better idea to lengthen the
interval between polishings is tc
wax the pieces with one Of the
new silicone furniture wakes
that do not require buffing. Don't
try to substitute the Self-polish-
ing floor wax or you will really
have a mess to clean up.

I had not thought of such a

for this job. We were able to

The second method consists of
cutting down the surface by
rubbing with pumice stone and
water until all the scratches
have been removed. This takes
considerably longer to do than
to tell about 1t. The surface is
then polished by rubbing with a
wet felt pad and a material
called putty powder (oxide of

from the monument works as
stores do not sell it. This, too,
will keep you well occupied for a

BrowneN Challenges Truman
On Effect Of G. .O.P Red Hunt

Attorney General Brownen
has challenged former President
Truman's recent statement that
the Eisenhower administration
has failed to jail any Commu-
niStS.
And he has disclosed that the
Justice Department. at Presi-
dent Eisenhower's direction, is
studying proposals to outlaw the
Communist Party in the United
States.
Interviewed on the National
Broadcasting Co.'S Report from
the White House" last night. Mr..
Brownen gave this breakdown
of the administrations record
on getting rid of Communists:
"Since we came here in jan
uary. 1858. we have convicted II
Communist Party leaders under
the provision of the Smith Act.
We have indicted 40 additional
leaders of the Communist Party
and they are to be tried this
spring.
Caught Fugitives.
I'VE have caught five more Of
the Communist leaders who are
fugitives from justice, brought
them back to court and had
them sentenced to jail. We have
indicted IL additional Commu-
mist Party leaders for making
false statements to the Govern
ment either under the Taft
Hartley Act or some other act.
I'm addition to that" Mr.
Brownell said, I'VE have brought
IL Communist-front organiza-
tions to the bar Of justice before
the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Board and in addition to
that we have caused to be de-
ported from the country an ad-
ditional TIA subversive aliens
=. Of whom 219 have actually
been deported."
Mr.. Brownell said he disagreed
with those in Congress who want
to go beyond President Eisen-
hower'S plan to take citizenship
away from any one convicted OF
conspiring to advocate the over
throw Of the Government"
Praises Presidents Stand.
II think the Presidents ap-
proach is q sound one and that
we should hold up these leaders
in the Communist conspiracy to
the public view," Mr.. Brownell
declared. They are the ones
who are doing the most dam
age and they are the ones who
should be clearly stripped OF
their citizenship"

Bill Would Stiffen
D. {. Penalty for
Robbery With Gun

Chairman Case Of the Senate
District Committee yesterday
introduced a bill to stiffen the
punishment for armed robbery
here as recommended by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
It is a proposed amendment to
the 1882 act relating to the IL
legal possession or use Of pistols
or other firearms, under which
added punishment may be given
aside from that for the specific
crimes committed.
The Commissioners asked for
legislation to add robbery to the
list Of crimes Of violence to
which the act applies. These now
include murder. manslaughter,
abduction. kidnapping. burglary
and larceny
The city heads said the omis-
sion Of robbery was an oversight
that should be corrected. since
the list already includes the rel
atively lesser offense Of larceny
Senator Case also introduced
another bill for the Commits
sioners to authorize them TO deS-
ignate some District employees as
special police officers at District
institutions located outside the
District boundaries.
This measure also would au-
thorize the city heads to make
agreements whit State and local
authorities for the confinement

Civil Service Chief
Gets UItimatum on :
Loyalty Case File
BY the Asseeiosed Press

A House Un-American Activi-
ties subcommittee has given the
Civil Service Commission 80 days
to produce loyalty review records
concerning a former Federal
worker.
Representative Scherer, Re-
publican. of Ohio. head Of the
two-man subcommittee, told
Chairman Philip Young of the
Civil Service Commission yester-
day it was his ::'last chance" to
produce them an implication
that some action might be taken
against Mr.. Young If the records
were not received. The records
were first subpoenaed last Sep
tember Is.
Mr.. Young said the commls-
sion wanted to cooperate with
the committee but asked the 80
days because there still seems
to be some difficulty in deter
mining the extent information
from confidential files can be
supplied :.
Ex-MediatOr Involved.
The case concerns James Nc
Namara of Cincinnati, a Federal
labor mediator who resigned last
September after he was called
before the Communist hunting
committee.
Mr.. Mcnamara testified he at
tended Communist meetings in
the late 1930s in connection with
his work as a union organizer.
And he added he supposed
that meant he was a member of
the Communist Party.
In l949, however, q Civil Serv-
ice Commission loyalty review
board upheld Mediation and
Cancellation Service board find
ing that there was no reason to
doubt Mr.. McNamara's loyalty.
Names Are Wanted.
Mr.. Scherer said the review
board acted in the face of an
Investigators report which re-
f1ected McNamara's connections
with Communist Party activities,
I'VE want to know what hap
pened in the entire Mcnamara
case," Mr.. Scherer told news
men. adding that particularly the
subcommittee wants to know the
names Of the board members
who cleared him.
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat. Of Pennsylvania, the other
member of the subcommittee

Mr.. Brownell said loss of citi-

dent Eisenhower had referred
the question to him within the
last few days. Until the study is
complete. he said. he wouldn' t
express an opinion.
Thousands Face Check.
MIR. Brownell declared that the
Governments program under
which 1900 security risks have
been fred or quit is well under
way. But he said thousands
Of Federal workers are yet to be
screened.
Mr.. Brownell refused to guess
how many of the 1900 were
ousted as disloyal. Actually, he
said, he didn't know.
But in the Justice Department,
he said. "in a majority of those
cases I would say it had nothing
to do with their loyalty" but
rather with drunkenness. sex
perversion and other personal
traits which made them unfit for
Government work.
He said it was important to
understand that some of the
worst cases we have had over
the years Of secrets getting into
the hands of the enemy came
from persons who were not dis
loyal to the Government at all" !"

High StyIed'Se BY Ford

Ford is introducing an entirely
new line-the high-Styled Fairline
series-as the leader of its four
lines of 1855 passenger cars being

Modern styling inspired by
Ford's new Thunderbird personal
car distinguishes the new Fords.

wrap-around windshield and a
new, lower silhouette. The Crown

Ford, which offered the first
V-8 engine in the low price field
in 1882 and has built IA million
V-8s since, introduces for the first
time three new engines:
A high compression Y-blOck
V-8 engine of 272 cubic inch dis

Flying colors will be the rule
with the 1855 Oldsmobile models
now making their appearance.
The special two-tone color styling
first introduced to the industry by
Oldsmobile in 1854 is even more

according to G. R. Jones, Olds-
mobile general sales manager.
"Olsmobile styIists have Great
ed an unusually distinctive appli-
cation of body color in the 1855

painted one color, while the lower
body and rear deck are finished
in another color in the Holiday
and two-door sedan models. The
color treatment is different for
the four-door sedans, with the
hood and upper body back to the
rear door painted one color and
the roof, rear deck and lower
body>in another color.
Fourteen new body colors are

shield, announced R. c. Somer-
vile, Dodge vice, president in
charge of sales.
He pointed out that the cock
pit-like windshield in the flair
styled Dodge provides a wider
field of vision, enabling safe driv-
ing and more enjoyable sight
seeing.
Glass area has been increased
l6 per cent in the newly designed
windshield.
visibility is greatly increased
because the glass is fully wrapped
aroun dat both top and bottom of
the windshield" Somerville said.
This eliminates blind spots in
driving vision and provides top of
window visibility not found in
other types of windshields."
Styling of the windshield fur
Their enhances the Dodge swept
back styling and contributes to
the builtin look of forward mo-
ton.
In addition to its increased
windshield area, the 1855 Dodge
provides the biggest rear window
visibility offered in the automo-
tive industry. The enlarged back
window glass area is designed to
permit easier parking and safer
rear vision.
