Well Shielded

BALBOA, Canal Zone. July
IA up. - Milton Eisenhower
embarked on a tour Of the
Panama Canal today after
hearing Panama's proposals for
economic aid and a plea for
recognition Of her sovereignty
over the vital waterway.
1t was the third day of the
friendly and thus far unevent-
ful fact-finding mission by the
Presidents brother.
Later he goes to Honduras,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Puerto
Rico, FL Salvador and Guate-
mala, in that order. The zig
gag itinerary was planned in
advance and announced only
today to foil any violent leftist
demonstrations Of the type
that greeted Vice President
Nixon on his South American
tour.
II any similar anti-American
sentiment exists in Panama, 1t
did not show itself over the
week end. DR.. Eisenhower was
shielded by strict security
measures and whisked around
Panama City so rapidly that
the inhabitants of the capital
hardly were aware Of his pres
ence. His daily schedule was
not published.

Panama and the United States

The United States controls
the Canal Zone under an
agreement with Panama. The
question Of mineral rights and
Panamanian sovereignty over
the zone recently has become
q hot political issue which Mr.
De La Guardia's opposition has
been quick to exploit.
Mr.. De La Guardia also OUT
lined ways in which the United
States could aid Panama finan-
cially. He pointed out that the
nations population is growing
but it lacks capital with which
to increase production.
The purpose Of the trip by DR..
Eisenhower, president Of Johns

the background for a possible
revision of United States poll
cies toward Latin America.

While some here viewed the
trip as only another goodwin

Eisenhower told newsmen that
the tour would help give the
United States "a continental

Stitch Garments
Before Wearing
For Longer Wear

Just few stitches that reinforce
a new garment often pay dividends
in making it wear longer and keep
its good looks. What's more, they
can save lengthy, difficult mending
jobs later. Check over women's and
children's clothes before wearing,
clothing specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture suggest.
If they need reinforcing, the effic-
lent time to do it is when they are
new. Here are suggestions:
Seams Narrow or loosely stitch
ed seams pull out easily with wear
or washing. Strengthen by ma
chine-stitching a seam about 1I16
inch deeper than the original seam.
Set the machine for ID to Is
stitches per inch. If fabric trays,
another row of stitching near the
cut edge helps hold it. Or you can
do some rapid overcasting by hand.
A zig-zag attachment for the sew
ing machine can help reinforce
edges against fraying or pulling
out.
Underarm seams of raglan or
kimono sleeves get extra strain.
You can reinforce them with tape.
Open the seam, press out flat,
haste 1j4-incE tape on top, and
tack along the seam line with tiny
stitches. The tape fastened on this
way won't show but will keep this
seam from tearing out with wear.
The slimskirts now in style may
pull out at the seam if they are
too narrow for their wearer's
stride. Save these seams by stitch
ing about a inches of tape flat
against the hem on the underside
of the skirt.
Dangling threads: Fasten thread
ends by pulling to the inside and
tying securely. Or run them
through a needle and fasten with
a few overland stitches. This
will save travelling and later re-
stitching.
Packets. Strengthen the ends
of packets with extra stitches, or
even with tape stay sewed on the
end of the underside. Overcast or
stitch down any loose or fraying
edges that might catch in a upper.
1t helps to tack a Upper tape and
seam edges securely to the waist
band because zippers get some pull
at this point.
Pocket corners: Any pocket that
is for use rather than decoration
should benefit by reinforcing at
corners where it is most likely to
