Continued from page 19)

cOlors to bleach or change. If necessary,
however, it's possible to "age" new
plaster artificially. Dissolve pounds
of zinc sulfate in gallon of water and
apply it to the plaster; allow sufficient
time for the plaster TO dry before prim-
ing and sealing. Some new sealer paints
on the market are reported to be serv-
iceable on ''hot" plaster.
For old walls, be sure that the plaster
or old paint is clean and smooth. Use
fine sandpaper or wide putty knife to
remove loose paint or plaster, or any
other grit and CRIME; be careful not to
scratch the surface.
Fill all cracks and holes with patch
ing plaster. First, cut out the plaster
in the shape of ffV'' to hold the
material. Soak the edges of the opened
crack with water to help the patching
plaster form a bond with the old wall.
Fill the crack to within " inch of the
surface. Then allow the patching plas-
ter to set partially before finishing the
fill and leveling up to the wall surface.
Be sure to remove all loose dust and
grit before painting If the surface is
very dirty, or greasy, it should be
washed.
Paint Pointers
Refer to the directions on the con-
tainer for the amount and kind of thin
ner to use, if any. The directions also
serve as your guide in preparing the
surface and applying the coating.
Stir the paint well before using. Make
certain that any settling has been mixed
thoroughly through the vehicle. Pouring
back and forth from one cOntainer to
another is an effective way to obtain
even mixing and consistency.
Save left-overs! Often only a small
amount of paint is needed for Later

Hemisphere Threat
Seen as Reds Send
Arms 10 Guatemala
U. S. Consultations With
20 Latin American
Nations Held Possible.
BY james E. Roper

A State Department spokes-
man said today that the ship
ment of arms from Soviet
controlled territory to Red
tinged Guatemala could be re-
garded as a threat to the secur-
ity of the Western Hemisphere.
The United States and 20
Latin American nations have
treaty arrangements calling for
consultations in case of such a
threat.
1t was believed that such con-
situations would result, probably
at the instigation of a Central
American country such as
Nicaragua.
The State Department an
nounced last night the discovery
that a ship which loaded arma-
mentS at Stettin in Communist
controlled Poland is now unload
ing at Puerto BarrioS, Guate-
mala.
Latin Americans Informed.
After making the announce
ment, the State Department
hastily informed its Latin Ameri-
can allies of the development.
Messages were sent to all the
Latin American embassies in
Washington, State Department
Spokesman Lincoln White dis
closed today.
He said that under the Rio
de Janiero Treaty. signed by the
United States and Latin Ameri-
can countries, a development
such as the shipment of arms
to Guatemala could be regarded
as a threat to security and thus
trigger the consultations pro-
vided under the Rio treaty.
Mr.. White emphasized he was
not predicting what would occur,
but the obvious American alarm
over the situation, coupled with
strike troubles in Honduras and
discovery of clandestine arms
shipments to Nicaragua made
action probable.
The State Department, in an
nouncing the arms shipment,
said:
Because Of the origin of these
arms, the point of embarkation,
the destination and the quantity
of arms involved. the State De-
partment considers that this is
a development Of gravity"
New Fears Raised.
Secretary of State Dulles has
limited that Guatemalans pro-
voked the prolonged strike in
the banana fields in Honduras.
The arrival of arms in Guate-
mala now raises fears that the
weapons might be destined for
Honduras, where some strike
violence already has developed
No law forbids the govern
ment Of Guatemala from buying
arms wherever it pleases. It is
known, for instance, that Guate-
mala has sought to buy .22-cal-
iber rifles in the United States,
but has been denied permission.
The possible legality of the
Guatemalan arms shipment in
no way lessened State Depart
ment concern.
The news can be expected to
heighten tension along the Qua
temalan- Honduras border. It
was recalled that Guatemala as
signed three consuls to the area,
but Honduras declared them

Senate Group Votes
Restoration Of Public
Housing Program
Decides, 1873, to Revive
1949 Low Torpedoed
By House Lost Year
By j., A. O'Leory

The Senate Banking Commit
tee voted IL to 3 today to breathe
new life into the low-cost public
housing program, which the
House has voted to kill after
this year.
AS it began rewriting the
Housing Act Of 1854, the COM
mittee also decided unanimously
to add whatever amendments
are necessary to prevent a re-
currence of the "windfall" profits
builders reaped from FHA-in-
sured housing projects. The
"windfalls" were among the ir-
regularities revealed by recent
Investigations.
Three Republicans - Senators
Bricker of Ohio. Bennett Of
Utah and Capehart of Indiana
voted against restoring the pub
lie housing program.
The rest of the committee
five Republicans and all seven
Democrats-voted to re-enact
the 1949 law under which max
imum of 100000 public housing
units could be started over a
period of years.
Discretion of President.
The number to be started each
year would still be left to the
discretion of the President.
President Eisenhower has been
recommending $4,000 units an
nually. But the House wrote into
the Independent Offices Act last
year a provision under which no
more public housing units can
be started.
The Senate, which begins de-
bate today on the Independent
Offices Act for the next IL
months, has not restored the
authority eliminated by the
House. At the present time, the
Government is under contract for
about 10000 units which Senate
officials say may be. started dur
ing the next IL months, even
without any further action by
Congress. But unless the action
taken by the Banking Commit
tee this morning becomes law,

If the war in Indo-C China is
"internationalized," such fric-
ton between French and Amer
lean military leaders could be
one of the most troublesome
problems to work out. Even to-
day it is serious.
Reasons of u. s.
The United States opposed the
idea of making a stand at Dien
Bien Phu for these reasons:
l. AS early as last November,
the Wet Mimi were known to
have the artillery-105-miIlime-
ter guns and anti-aircraft from
Red Climate pound the de-
tenders hard.
2. The terrain was practically
untenable."
3. The road which the Wet
Mini used to bring supplies and
ammunition from Red China was
known to have been under con-
struction since last September.
4. An invasion of Laos could
not be prevented by holding Diem
Bien Phu (the Communists
proved this when they by-passed
it in their feint at Luang Pra-
bang).
5. Dien Bien Phu was difficult
and costly to supply. Large
quantities of United States ma
terrell were dropped on the
fortress. Planes brought in
1000 tons of barbed wire alone.
In addition, American tanks,
heavy artillery and mortarS were
lost when the Franco-Viet-
namese defenders were Sub
merged.")
The principal advantage of
going into Dien Bien Phu was
in supplying and encouraging
Thai tribes guerilla units which
were haraSsing the Wet Mimi in
Northwestern Wet Nam. But
this advantage was not worth
the risks involved, in the United
States view.
