WASHINGTON LETTER
!" .... Firm, But Friendly

In his Philadelphia speech to
| the American Bar Association,
President Eisenhower emphasized
that the Geneva summit" confer
ence NAKED no capitulation to
Communist Establishments nor any
consideration of peace at any price
"Eagerness to avoid war-if we
think no deeper than this single
desire-canproduce outright or inn
plicit agreement that injustices and
wrongs of the present shall be
perpetuated into the future" de-
clared the President. 1--WE must not
participate in any such false agree
ment."
Such conduct, he said, would
make us partners" of the oppres-
sors and would assure future con-
fiict"
"The division CT Germany can
not be supported said the Presi-
| dent, by any argument based ON
boundaries or language or racial
origin.
"The domination of captive coun-
| tries can not longer be justified
by any claim that this is needed
for purposes of security.
IAN information political ma
chine, operating within the borders
of sovereign nations for their po-
litical and theological subversion,
cannot be explained away as a
cultural movement"
The Presidents revelation that
Americas Spirit of Geneva" wore
armor beneath her filmy draperies
of peace, followed a meeting of
the National Security Council which
lendorsed the viewpoint later ex-
pressed by the Chief Executive
when he told the lawyers: 1--WE
must be firm but friendly
Even as the President spoke, Liv-
ingston T. Merchant, Assistant
Secretary of State for Europe, was
, preparing to carry the word tC
. Paris, Bonn and London by way
of tightening up Western attitudes
| and unity on advance of the October
/ meeting of the foreign ministers

says Robert T. Morrill,, NAPC presi-
dent, planned modernization has
been almost completely neglected
in favor of new housing" Putting
responsibility for remodeling en-
tirsly on the shoulders of the dis
couraged owner of a discouraged
old house is, he thinks, like ask
ing someone to buy parts OF an
automobile in several different
places and then worry about putt
ing them together into complete
car"
The further Government restric-
tions recently placed on long
term home mortgages will keep
many people from building or buy
ing new homes. And IL the pack
age" remodeling plan enables them
to make new homes from old, they
are likely to be way ahead-in dol
lar home value, in living comfort
and in pride of ownership.
Certainly, if the great plumbing
contractor $4,000 of them belong
to the 72-year-old NAPC) can help
check our growing slum areas, the
Nation will owe him large debt
of gratitude.
And if his package remodeling
can inoculate towns and cities a.
gainst the arteriosclerosis that
causes slums, we shall have over
come one of the most costly civic
desire-can produce outright or i'm
perhaps more costly still to the
human spirit.

]. Ounce OF Prevention


The slums of most any town
usually start in an older section,
and among the handsomest, best
built homes to be found. 1t is a
sad fact that houses, like people,
begin to disintegrate with their
arteries. Unlike people, house ar
teries can be rebuilt. The nations
plumbing contractors think they
can help prevent tomorrow's slums
today by renewing outmoded home
arteries-the plumbing and heat
ing lines and equipment.
There is nothing new about this
theory, but the National Associ-
alton of Plumbing Contractors has
come up with a different and pro-
missing plan of attack. The solu-
ton they propose is a complete
home-modernizing package" One
contractor would be responsible for
planning and coordinating the en-
tire Job, even though it might in
volve masons. carpenters, electri-
clans and plasterers as well as
plumbing and heating men. He
would also guarantee the work and
arrange the financing. And the
logical person to do this, the Asso-
citation believes, is the plumbing
contractor since rs Der cent OF
remodeling involves plumbing and
heating and since he is the first
man on the job and the last to leave.

DENVER - Super-sensitive fing-
ers of blind Libby Solomon, "a, en-
able her to do top-flight job of
checking and reconditioning hypo-
dermic needles at Denver General
Hospital.
Every morning when Mrs. Solo
mon reports for work she has a
24-hour supply of aeedles-nearly
1.000-to inspect.
Her highly developed sense of
touch-shes been blind since she
was 3-permits her to feel out
minute defects in the needles. AT
ter each use, a hypodermic needle
goes through a sharpening-ste
ing progress.
The fragile needles are highly
tempered tubes of steel which pick
up rough spots in many ways. The
points are blunted sometimes in
puncturing the skin. Often they
are dulled in cleaning pans.
Mrs. Solomon examines each of
the needles three bevels with her
fingers. Rough spots are smoothed
with a quick rub across an oil
stone. Then Mrs. Solomon sorts
the needles by size and places them
in tubes. Formerly she used a
gauge atop the sharpening stone
to sort the needles but she doesn't
use it any more because of her own
proficiency.

FTc Drops Complaint
Against Philip Morris
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

A Federal Trade Commission
examiner has decided that a false
advertising complaint against the
makers Of Philip Morris cigar
cites should be dismissed because
the advertisements are no longer
used.
The ads claimed Philip Morrises
were less irritating to the throat
than other leading brands.
The FTC yesterday announced
the decision by its examiner, Earl
]. Kolb. He said he did not be-
lieve it would be in the public
interest to proceed further in
asmuch as the formula allegedly
supporting the advertising claims
had been discontinued as well as
the advertising itself.
The complaint was issued by
the commission in August, 1912.
It resulted in q cease and de-
sist" order by the commission
in December, 1852. Philip
Morris & Co. Ltd, Inc, appealed
to the United States Court OF
Appeals, which set aside the
order and sent the case back
to the commission for recon-
sideration.
