BY VIVIAN BROWN

ATTENTION, BRIDES: Your
man will sleep relaxed and arise
refreshed, if you consider his
preferences when furnishing
your bedroom. That's the opin-
ion of the author of a recent
book on home decorations.
1.-The bedroom is a province
too frequently considered the
exclusive domain of the wife, "
the writer says. A powder pink
boudoir swathed in ruff1eS and
lace may be a romantic ideal
glamorized by Hollywood movies
but completely impractical for
day-to-day married life"
1t isn't necessary to turn the
bedroom into an atmosphere Of
library or den. A compromise
may be affected by combining
the tastes of husband and wife
Combine Tastes

shades may even be combined

least one chair or more II space
permits. If there is room for
two, the wife can have the dainty
slipper chair or chaise Tongue
she prefers. But the husband
should not be ignored.
Give Him a Chair
"a deep lounge chair that fits
his frame, with q back high
enough for him to lean his head
upon, is important to the mans
comfort" the decorator says.
1T should be accompanied by a
table equipped with a reading
light, shelf and ashtray large
enough to hold pipe or cigar
cites, without ashes splitting.
1t should come as no surprise
even to the new bride to dis
cover the groom has his share
of vanity. Why then neglect
his need for a mirror of his own?
One of the saddest stories
men confide to each other is
the lack of a closet to call his
own. and one wide enough tc
hold his jackets without crush
ing their shoulders. Too often
he's crowded into a corner BY
the overflow of his wife's ward

or storage. alternately, of sum-
mer clothes and winter blankets.
Takes Ingenuity
There are no hard and fast
rules for furnishing a bedroom
to answer everyone's needs, ex-
cept consideration, compromise
and a lot of creative ingenuity

HATCH ACT STUDY-Sam
Still, an election specialist in
the American Law division of
the Library of Congress. has
been appointed chief counsel
of the House Administration
subcommittee which will make
a complete study Of the Hatch
Act.
The group has been voted
$4,000 by Congress to make
a thorough investigation of the
law restricting the political ac-
tivities of Federal workers. The
group is expected to recommend
to Congress next January what
ever changes it feels are de-
sirable to give Federal employees
a greater degree Of freedom in
political action.
The resolution setting up the
investigation was sponsored by
Representative Landlord, Dem
locrat of Maryland. who is as

Hagerty, presidential press Sec
rotary. refused to open the door
on such goings-on. No such
groups will be received by the
President during his vacation,
Mr.. Hagerty announced. The
President subsequently vetoed
the bills.
Small wonder then that Fed
eral employe leaders are hope
full that the recent appoint
ment of Rocco Siciliano to the
new job of presidential assist
ant on personnel management
will mean the opening of a
new era in the White House
regarding employee relations.
Mr.. Siciliano is highly re-
garded by Government employe
leaders. They feel he has q
good labor-management back
ground and is sympathetic and
friendly to Federal employe
problems and aspirations and
that they will have a strong
friend in the White House.
They also hope that Mr.
Siciliano will convince the
President of the wisdom and
merit of meeting with Federal
employe leaders from time to
time so that he can at least
get their point Of view at first
hand on a variety of things,
including pay.

Despite Mr.. Eisenhower's
pledge. that New York City
speech was the closest that
Federal employees have ever got
ten to him in the ensuing five
years.
Government employee leaders
say that not once in the past
five years, despite many re-
quests to the White House. have
they ever been able to get in
to see Mr.. Eisenhower.
Furthermore. they say they
have not even been able to see
Sherman Adams, the presiden-
tial assistant.

forecasts are getting better
but they are still far from per.
feet" the bureau conceded.
The only safe thing is
to assume that the worst will
happen"
The bureau reported hurri-
canes have taken more than
ZOO lives and caused nearly
50 billion in property damage
counting the flood toll-in
the past four years. An aver
age Of seven tropical storms
have been recorded annually
in or near the United States
during the last 10 years, the
bureau said.
September has been the
worst month for hurricanes,
although the season extends
from June through November,
the bureau continued.
It offered these "bits Of ad-
vice" for use when a hurri-
cane approaches: Listen to the
radio or television: ignore ru-
mors; evacuate low-lying areas;
board or shutter windows: tape
glass areas: store loose objects:
stock extra food and drinking
water: check flashlights. and

Mr.. Reichelderfer recalled
that the Hurricane Audrey dis

The Bureau reported it is

search and by Tightening its

Chief F. w. Reichelderfer said.
Hurricanes hit some areas in
the danger zone only once every
so years. while other sections
can count on a big blow once
in 10 years. he said. But resi-
dents in the storm zone were

on the averages. He observed
that the Southern louisiana

times this year.

Just to prove that all those fabu-
lousy rich operators you hear about
are not concentrated in Texas, Peter
Lind Hayes has story about a prom
inent member Of the breed who halls
from Mobile.
This Mobillionaire was gazing out
over the harbor Of Portofino in Italy
one morning when magnificent
yacht sailed into view. 1t carried a
crew Of 26 and had ample accommo-
dations for 80 passengers. Our hero
rose TO the occasion like the true
Southern gallant he was.
I'm going to buy me that yacht
for my old Nanny" he told the
startled captain. Tell me how much
it is, and then sail it right over to
Mobile in time 10 surprise Nanny
on Christmas morning"
But this is preposterouS, OBJ
iected the captain. 1T is now Decem-
Der 20. We can't possibly sail across
the Atlantic in time!"
"Okay, sonny boy" said the
MobilliOnaire affably. pulling out
his wallet. "FIy il over"
Peter Lind Hayes himself - and
his lovely wife, Mary Healy = were
offered a neat little estate down in
Florida for the bargain-basement
price Of S285,OOO.
"Under ordinary Circumstances,
we wouldn't sell at any price," the
owner explained, ''but we won't be
able to bear II here now. Or cat
died"
On the Riviera, a couple Of
wealthy American expatriates were
told their new villa would not be
complete without an original mural
by Picasso. Impressed by the idea.
they summoned the great Spanish
painter, who named staggering fec,
and got it without argument.
Game the day when the Picasso
mural was to be unveiled. Invited big
shots pressed forward as the obscur-
ing curtain was removed. What met

wheels might best do the job. If
the shop is too small to move in
large pieces of equipment, set up
a work area near the shop en-
trance. A concrete slab will be an
asset here by offering a clean,
fiat place to work and helping
to prevent loss of tools and parts.
Window light is good, but arti-
fetal light will probably be best.
especially when the need for night
work comes. Recommendations
are fluorescent lights with refiec-
tors on the ceiling for general
light, and trouble lights with ex-
tension cords for close work.
The shop heating system need
not be elaborate, Mr.. Vapaa says.
Perhaps a discarded wood-burning
stove or other stove might pro-
vide enough heat. This could be
a way to hurn up wood scraps
that have accumulated all year
A wood-burning stove can be

PLAN FARM EQUIPMENT
PURCHASES

Taking a careful farm equip
ment inventory, as an aid to fig
ure on future buying, may help
farmers cut down on financial
hardship that can be caused by
an unexpected need to replace ex-
pensive machinery.
George Vapaa, county agricul-
tural agent, adds that farmers
should plan machinery replace
ment needs before equipment
wears out, He recommends writ
ing out a long-range replacement
list that includes expected pur-
chase dates.
Things to list are the types and
number of machines presently
needed to run the farm, make,
model, purchase date, and cost
And don't forget to record the
condition of each machine, and
estimate probable future repair
costs.
Include an estimate of the cost
of replacing each machine, based
on current prices, even though
they can change, and the prob
able trade-in allowance. ALSO fig
