COMMENT: Most obvious
among the missing are the God
frey shows-"Talent Scouts" DOR
the Friends" session. Sid Cae-
sar may not be in the top 10,
but neither is his competition
Burns and Allen or Talent
Scouts. Davy Crockett took per-
sonal care of the Friends"
shooting match.
Shriner's top spot is mute tes-
timony to rival Imogene Coca's
failure as a solo star. Benny's
eminence, too. must reflect wan
ling interest in rival "Mr. Peep
ers." (Wally shouldn't feel bad
he got licked by one Of the
champs.)
Conspicuous by his absence,
too, is Mr.. Television himself
Milton Berle.
Irregularity of the Spectacular
schedules probably kept these
Ionce-a-month shows from max

ceeded in knocking each other

Mother, B, Admits
Killing Two Sons and
Hiding Them a Week
BY the Associated Press

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 23.-
An attractive, % year old
woman today admitted she killed
her two young sons. hid the
bodies a week, dismembered
them and then had them buried.
Mrs. Ann Williams, clerk in
a sand 10-cent store in Subur-
ban Pasadena, told Sheriff c. v.
(Buster) Kern and newspaper
reporters she killed the boys,
Calvin, 9, and Conrad, 8, by
giving them ''big sleeping pills
I bought in Mexico"
She said she kept the bodies
in a Houston apartment nearly
a week before dismembering
them with razor blades.
She gave no reason for her
: actions.
Bodies Are Found.
Mrs. Williams, who had been
missing six days, was arrested
early today, about six hours
after four neatly wrapped pack
ages containing the bodies had
been unearthed near Algoa.
The arrest was made in the
Houston apartment after Sheriff
Kern and deputies traced the
license number of an automobile
Mrs. Williams had used yester-
day in carrying the packages to
the home of friends near Algoa.
Harvey Irby, Houston auto
dealer, said Mrs. Williams had
used an assumed name in pur-
chasing the automobile Monday,
Officers located her at the ad-
dress she gave Mr.. Irby.
No charges have been filed.
Youth Became Suspicious.
Clayton A. johnson, 10, son of
an Algoa garage owner, called
Galveston County officers last
night after digging up the four
packages. He said he earlier had
volunteered to bury the spoiled
venison" for Mrs. Williams, but
became suspicious after learning
she and her two sons had been
missing six days.
Galveston County Pathologist
w. w. Schofield said an autopsy
disclosed the boys suffered skull
fractures. The discrepancy be-
tween her story of poison and
the skull fractures was not i'm
mediately explained.
Mrs. Williams said she is a
native of Hammond, Ind.
Her husband. Hoyt J. Will
liams, 33, was sentenced in jan
uary to a three-year Federal
prison sentence for car theft.
Mrs. Williams said she and her
husband, a welder. have been
married 10 years.

GENEVA. Aug. 17.-An Aneri-
can industrialist complained to-
day that q snafu In declassifying
secret atomic equipment and q
confused international patent
situation could develop into q
free-for all grab ct United States
designs and devices on display al
the atoms-for-peace conference
He said that even Russia ap-
pears free to duplicate and
patent equipment shown here
while American industrialists are
restricted by Atomic Energy
Commission regulation from even
discussing with potential custom
ers classified material openly
being shown to scientists, visitors
and the press.
The industrialist is Seth E
Bransby, European representa-
tive Of the Foster Wheeler Corp.
New York engineering and manu-
featuring company with afiiliates
in London, Paris and Canada
and worldwide patent licensees
The concern has added an atomic
plant design to its specialities
which include power boilers and
refinery and chemical plant de-
sign and construction.
DR.. Charles Marshall, deputy
director Of the Aces division
Of classification, said that while
American secret equipment here
is not officially and publicly de-
classified, it is ''declassiflanle''
under an agreement reached last
October with the United King
dom and Canada. Until de-
classified. the material can't be
patented in foreign countries.
ANY one can proceed on
grounds that all information
divulged here has been declassi-
fed" DR.. Marshall said. Every
thing presented here in the
public domain is usable by any
one who can lay their hands on
It,"
DR.. Marshall did not know
!. whether the American equip
ment had been patented or
whether secret patents were
valid internationally. He said,
however. that all papers rre-
sented here had been reviewed
by the Acc patent division.
Mr.. Bransby said that until
public declassification occurred.
American agencies and Ameri-
can agencies alone were re-
stricted from discussing the
classified American material.
. Other nationalities are not
bound by American classifica-
tions, he added, and all Ameri:
can methods and designs so
boldly displayed to atom hun
CRY nations can thus be dis
cussed, reproduced and patented
internationally by non-Ameri-
cans.
He said, for instance. he can't
provide details to the Italian
government which is currently
interested in having Foster
Wheeler build an atomic power
plant. The public domain thus
receives not only the physical
equipment on display here, in
cluding an awe-inspiring swim
ming pool" reactor. but perhaps
even more important. details Of
even more modern and more
powerful atom m-srnashing and
atom-controlling devices which
are described in bushels of pa
pers. charts and figures. These
devices Of course are important
for war as well as peaceful pur-
poses.

Answer - With the warm

painting the two walls charcoal;
why not paint them light shade

Do You Want to Treat Windows as Pictures? !


That every window In the home
should be q picture" Is one rule
Of today's decorating.
Ordinary single windows may
seem outmoded. but there are
many ways one can give them
new life. Simply adding width
and height to that small ex-
panse Of glass can increase its
importance until it is the very
focal point Of the room.
Matching fabric and wallpaper
offers one way to bring attention
to q window. Begin the treat
ment by adding width with q
Venetian blind; install it not on
the inside, but on the outside
of the windows frame. Choose
the blind in one of the lovely new
colors tailored to match popular
fabrics. Let the Venetian blind
control the window while the
drapery sweeps out over the wall
to add more width.
The latest novelty treatment
uses the same fabric for q gath
cred skirting from window sill
to floor. Give it a finishing touch
Of the same 4-inch ruffie that
compliments the drapery.
Matching wallpaper can then be
used for a third Of the walls
height.
Another way to emphasize q
single window on a fairly small
wall is to extend plywood cor
nice or draw drapery rod en-
tirely from corner to corner of
the wall and let the fabric take
a big bow from ceiling to floor.
Remember when using fabric in
such a lavish manner to choose
a subdued color combination that
has an easy-to-live-with back
ground. Save the smaller, buster
patterns for lesser treatments.
Gaining favor for the single
window is the frame treatment.
Using plywood, make q frame to
extend around the entire window
like a box; have it made 4 inches
deep 80 it stands away from the
window frame and does not in.
terfere with the light and air
control functions of the Vene-
tan blind. This frame can be
painted or covered with wall
paper: and to gain maximum ef-
feet. the Venetian blind should
be chosen in the same color and
should extend from the top Of the
window clear down to the floor.
Questions and Answers.
Question: live in an apart
ment and am unhappy with the
color scheme of the walls. In
the living room they are a smoky
rose-including woodwork and
ceiling. My furniture is maple.
I would like to achieve q warm,
honey atmosphere - the Early
American look. Could you tell
me what colors and fabrics to
use for draperies. slip covers for
a sofa and two chairs and lamp
shades? I had thought of get
ting a large oval braided rug.
Answer-Simple fabrics and
bright colors will do a lot to give
your living room a warm. honey
atmosphere. Get chintz draper
les with an all-over print and
slip cover one of the chairs with
the same fabric. Slip cover the
sofa in turquoise corduroy or
denim and the other chair In
light rose chintz with maroon
trim. BY all means get the large
oval braided rug. 1t will add
warmth and color to the room.
