Take 1t Easy

A word Of advice to the
men in the family concern
ing the selection Of rugs and
curtains is now in order.
Don't let this phase Of ad-
justing to a new home get
you down.
I hadn't really lived-I can
now report-until I was in
troduced to the world of such
furnishings. First, / learned
that a rug is a rug and a car
pet is a carpet.
I found out that rugs come
in wall-to-wall, or cut to At
the room, allowing for a
margin of exposed flooring.
There are pile rugs. twist
rugs. oriental rugs.
They are made out of wool,
cotton, nylon. or a combina-
ton of two Of them. You can
get them in different colors.
running the spectrum from
opera pink to fluorite violet.
Our home has cathedral
type" ceilings. We we're told
that a high-pile rug would
be most appropriate. The
walls of the living room are
stark white. So we selected
a beige-colored high-pile.
Now you may be thinking to
yourself that these two
choices we're easy and you
may be right. But let's wait
a minute.
To the average male, beige
is beige-and that's that. But
not so to the average wife.
Some beiges have a heavy
red cast, some a light brown
cast-and others have other
variations. So If you have a
chocolate brown sofa with
hubby upholstery in the liv-
ing room. the little woman
will probably insist on a beige
with a minimum of red, or
none at all.

So says the little woman.
One other reminder. All
the sentimental items should
go TO the basement-and
from the basement they must
be cast into limbo without
the formality Of last rites.
Moving and settling into a
new house is not all decisions

Postwar Policy on Indonesio Decried
AS Playing Into Hands of Communists

With war raging and
casualties mounting in Al
geria and hostility to the
West ever mounting in the
East, the testimony Of Gen.
Charles A. Willoughby before
the House Committee on I'm
American Activities makes
SOLDERING reading.
Gen. Willoughby was chief
Of Intelligence of the Far
Eastern Command under
Gen. Macarthur and was re-
tired when the hero Of the
Pacific was summarily dis
missed by President Truman

the most remarkable claques

his years Of service. II was
upon this knowledge that the
committee called during a
staf consultation in Deem
Der. to which little public at

about Indonesia. And whether
or not the evidence he pre-
sented affects-or can affect,

Today Democratic Party
leaders. foremost among them

still attacking the Republican
administration for letting
down our allies, Britain and
France, and our "protecto-

made to one Of the most ex-

OF the Netherlands in Indo-

Discomfort Of People Cited as Spur
To KhrushcheV Drive for Summit Talks

Political intelligence evalu-

considering the difficulties
which Western observers en-
counter in Russia-Say that
there is genuine uneasiness
in the Kremlin over the rest

If this evaluation is close

better than any other theory

been a revolution in Russia
by the people themselves in
the sense of the American
revolution against the Brit

the French revolution of 1889
or the revolutionary waves
OF 1848. There have been
rebellions against the Cars
rule in which some sections
Of the intelligentsia partici-
pated. But they were con-
fined principally to murders
OF members of the imperial
family or top hierarchy. The
people Of Russia have never
been aware of freedom as it
was eventually known in the
West since the creation Of
the Muscovite duchy by Rurik

The Kerensky revolution in
1917, followed shortly by the
coup OF Lenin. succeeded in
doing away with the Russian
empire and the ruling class.
But it was not q peoples rev.

merely because the Russian
armies had been utterly de-
feated and the Russian peo-
pie welcomed a change in the
government. But it must be
recalled that communism or
even advanced socialism was
not involved until the Ger
man general staff brought
Lenin and Trotsky from
Switzerland into Russia to
finish the limited remaining
fighting capabilities of that
country.
Kerensky had declared that
Russia would continue to

man general staff which
wanted to finish the war

consequential and can be
overridden. The tariff ques-
ton, for instaAce. is being
linked to the foreign aid
program, Members of Con-
gress who don't want to see
tariffs disturbed are likely
to withhold votes from the
appropriations for foreign
aid as a weapon for COM
promise.
The effort by . well-organ-
lied group In Washington
last week to create q favor
able public opinion for for
eign aid and for the recipro-
cal trade agreements is per-
haps the most spectacular in
q long time. But 1t doesn't
answer the question Of what
happens to the Congressman
or Senator who has Q lot of
unemployed back home and
still votes for aid TO foreign
countries. It doesn't help the
members Of Congress, either,
who must fight against the
importation of cheaper
made products that compete
with industries in certain
districts or States.
The problems are complex
but not insoluble. 1t will cost
money really to protect in
dustries that may be affected
by tariffs. They are, to be
sure. as important as any
casualties in the economic
world ever assisted by Gov
eminent before. 1t will cost
money to help generally the
unemployed at home and,
when that's done, the Con-
greSS may be better disposed
toward the whole foreign aid
project and reciprocal trade
agreements.
The indubitable fact is that
the current recession now is
uppermost in the minds of
the people and is the basic
concern Of all members Of

Who is to take care Of the

against a concrete fact
namely. the possible loss Of

The question of tariff walls
has been before the Ameri-.
can people for many dec
AIDES. A gradual reduction
has been made over the
years, but lately the oppo-
nents have argued not so
much against changes in
tariff rates-for even the
present duties are not high
enough to protect some in
dustries-but in favor of
some kind of quotas actually
to restrict or limit imports
from certain countries. The
Europeans use the quota sys-
tenn. Even American maya
