sufficient to illustrate, with clar-
ity, that the ADA consistently
supports big spending programs,
government controls and sug-
gests that the government is the
''cure-all' for all evils.
On the basis of the record, and
reflective analysis, it would seem
altogether evident that the pur-
pose of the ADA is to further
Socialistic theory and to accom-
plish change in our democratic
form of government.

Choose Pattern
To Fit Your Fabric

Know your fabric and choose
a pattern suitable for it. If the
homemaker wants to be success
full in making a garment of one
of the new man-made fiberS or
fabric blends, that's the sugges-
ton of Lavonia Hilbert, EXten-
sion clothing specialist with the
University of Maryland.
It's important to remember
that firmly woven fabrics of man.
made fibers, or those treated with
crease-resistant finishes, resist
stretching, shrinking and sag
cling. These fabrics have little
or no give" This will help the
homemaker, Miss Hilbert says,
when she chooses her pattern.
What should the homemaker
expect of these new fibers? Here
are some tips offered by the spec
ialist which will be helpful when
sewing nylon, orion, dacron or
combination fabrics:
Use well-sharpened shears;
use fine, sharp needles and pins;
pin fabric to paper before cut
ting (sheer fabrics may need !;
cut seam allowance of one inch
or more Off material tends to

ed chalk for marking.
Stitching should be tested on
all fabrics before starting to sew
on the garment. Use a double
thickness of material on the
straight of the goods. Miss Hill.

stitching is satisfactory, the bias
or notwithstanding will be
right. If material Fuckers, she

BY JOHN MARSHALL BUTLER
u. S. Senator from Maryland

Since 1947, the contemporary
political scene has been composed
of the two major parties and a
third organization, known as the
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton, more popularity as the ADA,
Membership in the ADA has in
creased to upwards of $4,000,
with chapters in many cities, and
a Students for Democratic Action
affiliate in a number of schools.
The ADA, an outgrowth of the
Union for Democratic Action, has
assiduously endeavored to influ-
ence and bend public opinion to
the liberal-left-wing viewpoint.
Regularly and vigorously, the
ADA has been engrossed in the
election of left-wing candidates
and the promotion of left-wing is
sues. Frequently and conspicuous
ly, the words liberal and dem
ocracy" are displayed in ADA lit
erature, with the words control
and policing" following close be-
hind. With deceptive fanfare, the
ADA attempts to convince the
American public that it opposes
all forms of totalitarianiSm, in
Guiding Communism, and that it
is non-partisan in flavor. How
ever both the aim and character
of the ADA have always been
shrouded in double talk, but none
theless, the drift is clear.
The dialect of this self-serving
group of American liberals is
indeed curious, if not phony.
Some pundits have seen fit to
describe it as "pinkish political
potpourri." Beneath all of this
misleading admiXture, however,
runs the suspicion, now gaining
momentum, that the aims and
goals of the ADA set themselves
in basic conflict with the hopes
and aspirations of clear thinking,
conscientious citizens who seek
the undiluted preservation of the
American way of life.
For example, the ADA, among

Whenever / nave the opportun-

particular, to look to their own
salary structures in their educa-

a rule, grossly underpaid and

to revamp state and local laws

more attractive as profession.

Summer Test
For Drivers.
Cars Advised

It's time for a summer inVen-
tory of driving equipment" the
keystone Automobile Club advis-
es motorists.
"By driving equipment" says
August G. Detlof, Manager of the
Club in Maryland, 1--WE mean not
only the safety features of the
car but the safety qualifications
of the driver himself.
"ThiS is going to be a busy
summer on American highways
probably the busiest in history
and the roads will be unsafe
for mechanically unfit cars and
physically deficient drivers.
"The wist motorist usually
looks to his mechanical equip
ment, but otter overlooks his own
physical qualifications, such as
sight and hearing. He is likely,
also, to drive when the state of
his general health is below par,
thus materially reducing his eff
ficiency as an operator.
Our advice to motorists is to
make both a mechanical and
physical check-up before enter
ing this busy period of motoring.
Good vision for one thing is of
paramount importance, particu-
larly in night driving. Safety
engineers have long held the
opinion that many accidents ex-
planned on other grounds actual
ly are due to impaired sight.
"In view of the serious traffic
problems which require alertness
on the part of operators, it is vital
to the interests of safety that
drivers correct sight deficiencies,
if possible, or refrain from oper-
ating cars at night"

He also said:

likely" on a House passed meas
ure to restore price supports at
80 per cent of parity on basic
farm commodities. President
Eisenhower will not need any
urging" to veto such legislation
even if it should pass Congress.
2. He would move to modify
any farm program-"I care not
whether it is flexible program
or any other program"-if he
thought it would benefit farmers.
3. Farm income this year will
be very, very near the same

cline is possible, but largely as
the result of a drop in volume

The Secretary said he had no
objection to leaders of labor or

for or against his programs. But

There is some question as to
whether that is a deep interest
