Senate Cloakroon1
BY J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Having pledged to continue
working for reductions in Federal
spending and for subsequent tax
cuts am continually faced with
the problem of deciding exactly
what constitutes true economy"
Perhaps the following remarks
will give some indication of the
perpleXities and complications that
can arise.
Federal Appropriations
According to custom. the House
of Representatives originates and
acts first on all appropriation bills.
These appropriations measures
fall into two categories-those
which are introduced for the fol-
lowing fiscal year. and those which
are deficiency appropriations for
the current fiscal year.
1t is not infrequent that various
Federal departments and agencies
come to the Congress for deficiency
allotments when they find that
their operations have cost more
than had been anticipated. Such
was the case when the Post Office
Department recently asked for an
extra SAT million to cover its ex-
penses until the end of the fiscal
year on June 80.
Chain of Effects
Instead of getting additional
funds Immediately, Postmaster
General Summerfield was forced to
wait for several weeks.
In the meantime he ordered a
curtailment of postal operations.
This action affected numerous
employees and businesses, of course,
and resulted in a chain of incon-
veniences and losses.
Let me give you an example.
Unpaid Bills
According to law, postal en-
ployes can be reimbursed up to
500 for the cost of their uniforms.
One of our Baltimore firms has
been making some of these uni
forms, but when the Post Office
funds ran short there was no money
to pay for them.
Consequently. the firm had to go
to a bank to borrow money-at
regular interest rates-to tide it
over until the uniform vouchers
could be hOnored
You can see therefore, that there
can be scores of secondary effects
from every act connected with an
appropriations measure, and that
is the reason it is SO difficult TO

CARD OF THANKS

We take this means of expressing
our sincere thanks and appreci-
alton to all our relatives and
friends for their kindness and
sympathy, during the recent be-
reavement of our beloved husband,

determine which so-called "econo-
my" measures might actually cause
extensive harm.
Thus far this session, progress
has been rather slow on quite a
few of the major bills
Only half of the appropriation
bills have been acted on in the
House, and it is probable that
when these u measures reach the
Senate, there will be at least a
week of debate on each. That
amounts to three months In addi-
ton, there are the school construc-
ton bill, the civil rights bill, the
immigration bill and many others.
AS l see it, the Congress will be
in session until the end of August
or later unless its pace is soon
stepped up.

The difference between govern
ment and family spending is one Of
degree. Credit purchases to the
contrary, the average family cannot,
and should not, spend more than
it earns. To all, the consequences
of excessive debt and improvident
expenditures are frightening But
the guardians Of the public treas
ury have cast aside this basic doe
trine of thrift and prudence.
Without funds available, no
clear thinking person would con
slider membership in a special pur-
pose organization Yet, the United
States is a member of a host of in
ternational agencies, and the eX-
pense of this participation in
creases year by year. In the last
fiscal year, this so-called cooper
alive effort cost the American tax
payers $33,859,285. For fiscal 1858,
S37, 475,552 have been requested
J for these purposes-S29 SOB 1897 is
required for dues" in the United
Nations organization.
Likewise, family living within
its income should not purchase
luXuries which it cannot afford at
the moment However, the Federal
bureaucrats want 1928. 100000 for
air-conditioning public buildings.
The army has asked for 100000 TO
| finance Sunday morning recreation
for civilian employees at private
rifle clubs, and $4,000 for travel
for the National Board for the
/ Promotion of Rifle Practice The
Department of Defense wants to
purchase 6,719 new vehicles at a
cost of S14.386. 800 and would spend
an additional S6,598 600 for the
rental of automobiles. The Foreign
Agricultural Service seeks to
double its travel allowance. 1881,
600 is requested for relocation of
the greenhouses of the Botanical
Garden
These facts, and many others
selected at random from a 1.249
page publication entitled The
Budget Of the United States Gov
eminent for the Fiscal Year Ending

conclusion that there is little
general intention on the part OF

, orderly retrenchment in govern

Gates Of free spending and deficit
financing will glibly try TO justify

COAL :. Full of MarveIs

Coal enters into the life of the
individual and the nation in a
thousand and one ways we rare
ly think of.
Take your car, or your wash
ing machine, or anything else
made of steel. For every ton of
steel produced, a ton of coal is
burned.
Take the U. S. Navy'S new at
tack carrier, Ranger. Two mil
lion pounds of aluminium went
into this potent fighting ship
and nearly 1000 tons of coal
were used in that aluminuln's
production.
Take the synthetic dyes used
in manufacturing your clothes
and any number of other items.
They are coal derivatives.
Take medicine. Medical science
is continually searching for new
iseaSe-fighting organisms in
side coal. So far the search has
produced 35 bacterial cultures,
three moldS and four actinomy-
cetes, the latter being the soil
bacterial family out of which
come some of tOday'S newest
wonder drugs.
A list such as this could be
extended for many pages, and
could be amazingly varied and
diverse. A hunk of coal doesn't
look like much-but it contains
all manner of marvels, existing
and potential.

BEAUTY at HOME
BY Lynn Carter

@. Is any kind Of night cream
necessary on my very oily type
of skin?
A. I think not. If your skin
feels a little taut, that is fine
at least you know it's not sag
ging and that it is clean. The
only place a little cream should
be used is on the area around
your eyeS-to avoid acquiring
any fine lines.
@. Is there any good astrin-
gent I can use to help absorb
dandruff in my scalp, when the
hair is excessively oily?
A. Witch hazel is good for this,
and has a drying effect, too. Ap-
ply, then follow with a scalp
massage and shampoo.
@. Please suggest a treatment
which will soften and bleach
my skin, as well as help to refine
my pores?
A. Apply a mixture OF two
thirds warm olive oil and one
third lemon juice, rubbing well
into the skin. Rub this into the
skin with the outer skin of the
lemon, using an upward and
outward movement. This brings
a healthy glow to the skin, and
any drying effects Of the lemon
will be offset by the olive oil.

Flowers and cleaning-two things
we can count on with the coming of
Spring! Spring cleaning used to be
pretty much confined to the home, but
I've noticed lately that the family car
is also getting its share of spring
cleaning! Not just the outside either,
but the upholstery, rug, chrome. ETC..
too.
A thorough vacuuming certainly
dislodges dust and dirt, but to give
the upholstery an almost new look
try a moderate application Of a vol
atile type cleaner using a mini.
mum amount of pressure on the cloth.
Of course, lukewarm water and neu-
trail soap is the best cleaner for leath-
er upholstery. Polishing the chrome is
another aid for slicking-up the inter-
ior.
incidentally, if you run into an OBJ
stinate cleaning problem, you'll find
your car dealer very obliging with
some helpful hints. We had trouble,
for example. trying to remove chew.
ing gum from the car rug, and our
Buick dealer passed on the suggestion
of moistening the gum with carbon
tetrachloride and working the gum oG
with a dull knife while still moist. It
worked beautifully!

top rail. The areas where the
cross tapes are woven into the
large tapes should point down.
Tie q cord to the top rail and
hang it up for convenience. Slide
the Stats into place and have the
ends even. Pay particular at
ltention to the cross connecting
tapes. They must be placed al
ternately on the right and left Of
the slots In the Stats.
Double the new cord and run
the open end up through the
pulley at the end Of the top rails.
then thread each end down
through the holes In the top
rail and through the slots in
each slat and the holes in the
bottom rail. The large sides Of
the holes In the bottom rail must
be down. Tie a knot in each end
and stun this up into this large
hole. You can now tack the
tapes to the bottom rail to cover
the holes.
While the blind is hanging
level, slide the buckle over the
doubled end Of the cord and
replace the blind in the window.
Faulty Plumbing

Just bought a new home and ex-
pected to get away from this
terrible condition but here I am

should this be?" Mrs. ]. M. asks.
Answer.-There could be a
stoppage in the drain line but
since it is a new house, ! sus-
pect that the plumber goofed.
The drain line may be installed
so that the water does not fall
away rapidly enough and backs
up into the tub. Before doing
anything drastic, have the drain
checked for an obstruction. If
there is none, you can then have
the drains pulled out and in
stalled properly or you can have

1.-THE Venetian blinds in my
home have had several years Of
service and are in need Of q
general overhaul. Could you ad-
wise an amateur how to 60 about
putting them in good condi-
tion?" Mrs. K. D. B. writes.
Answer-Perhaps I am q bit
envious Of people who can start
4 repair job and keep grinding
away att until it is completed
Something much more impor-
ltant, like a report that the trout
are biting like mad, always inter-
rupts my best intentions, and
that is why ! never cared much
for the job of reconditionine
Venetian blinds.
It is one task that permits nc
procrastination or the neighbors
viii know all. So, to minimize
the time that you must dwell in
. fish bowl. get all Of the ma
terial together before you start
The cords should always be
replaced when blinds are re-
conditioned but the tapes can
be salvaged If they are not
broken. Stained white tapes can
be laundered and bleached. Col
ored tapes can be dyed to be
restored to original freshness.
Wood slat blinds usually need
repainting. A good quality four
hour enamel is best for this,
Metal Stats usually require only
washing but the same enamel
can be used on these too, II
necessary. You should have q
2-inch brush and several sheets
Of sandpaper where painting Il
called for. A few pieces Of No. q
and 90 waterproof garnet paper
u best. You VIII also need some
sort Of q support from which
you can hang the blind fol
reassembly.
Start by taking the blind dowr
nom the window and pull the
tacks which hold the tapes Il
the top and bottom rails. Cut
the old cord that runs through
slots in the Stats and remove al
the stats from the tape. Il
painting is required, thoroughly
rub down the Stats and rails with
the garnet paper. This paper
should be used wet as it cuts
faster and lasts longer that way
Allow the surface to dry
thoroughly and wipe OF the dust
Some people prefer to string
the Stats on a taut wire or cur
tain rod for painting but oul
preference is to lay them close
together on the workbench where
we can paint one side Of all Stat,
ct once. When this side is dry
turn the Stats and paint the
other side. The work seems Il
60 faster but care must be taker
not to allow the paint to run
around the edges.
While the paint is drying, you
can launder the tapes. II yot
dye them. use fabric dye and
follow directions on the package
Now comes the job Of reas-
sembling. Tack the tapes to thu
