81 Mortgages Show
Repayment Record

Veterans who hold CT
home mortgages set an all
time record for keeping their
loan payments up to date
during the three-month PEI
Rod that ended in June.
This was reported by the
national mortgage delin-
quency survey Of the Mort
gage Bankers Association of
America. released this week.
CT mortgages with a 30
day delinquency amounted
to only 1873 per cent of
those outstanding, the sur
vey found. Sixty-day delin-
quencies were only 81 per
cent and 90-day delinquent
cies only .28 per cent.
This, the MBA said. was the
all-time low since the organ
ization began making the
surveys six years ago.
For the comparable period
a year ago. CT delinquencies
of one month were 2.06 per
cent. Of two months were AZ
per cent and Of three months
were "a per cent.
The mortgage loan delin-
quency rate covering all

the second quarter of this
year also set an all-time low.

to the cement walk in front
Of the house and now / have
changed my mind about it
and want to take it of. How
can it be done?" Mrs. j. H. s.
writes.
Answer - Please confine
mind-changing to hats and
dresses. It makes life much
less complicated. If you used
q deck enamel on this walk,
you can remove it by scrub
bling with q solution made
by dissolving three pounds Of
trisodium phosphate in a
gallon of hot water. It may
require an hour Of continuous
scrubbing for the paint to
soften so it can be washed
away. II you used q rubber
base paint. it must be taken
OF with an electric floor
sanding machine, using a
coarse grit open coat paper.
Ceiling Moths
II find countless small,
gray-looking things hanging
from my ceiling. There is
something alive in them when
] mash them. I pick them
on. but more are there the
next day. What are these
things?" Mrs. e. H. writes.
Answer-The things" are
the larvae Of FASCINATING
clothes moths. They are
highly destructive and win
eat anything made Of animal
hair such as wool rugs and
clothing. Corrective measures
consist of mothproofing all
woolens, spraying with in
secticides and vacuum clean
ing areas where the larvae
may hide.
Aluminium Gore
please tell me the correct
way to take care Of aluminium
frames for windows and
doors. Can they be painted
with shellac or varnish?"
Mrs. T. c. H. writes.
Answer: Shellac will not
stand weathering and varnish
will give the metal a yellow
cast. but you can use clear
lacquer. Stores sell this clear
finish in aerosol cans for use
on chrome trim of automo-
biles. There is a catch to it,
though. This finish will last
perhaps a year. Then you
must remove all of it by
washing with lacquer thinner
before you can put on a fresh
coat. We think it is easier to
give the aluminium a good
cleaning once a year with one
Of the aluminium cleaners
now available.
Plumbing Problem
Il had a new toilet installed
In my home and it does not
work properly. / know it
should have an air vent, but
can't find one. Where should
! look?" z. W. asks
Answer - The air vent
should be a four-inch cast
iron pipe that penetrates the
roof not more than three feet
from a point directly above
the toilet. If it Is not there
and you can't get satisfaction
from the plumber. report the
matter to your city building
inspector.
Cellar or crowI Space
what is the difference in
cost for building a home with
q cellar or with a crawl
space?" c. M. H. writes.

Point Problem
what is the procedure for
preparing gypsumboard walls
for painting? Is a primer
necessary" l.. M. H. wants
to know.

In all the hulla-baloo over legislation to reform

lie has largely overlooked important Congression-
al investigation which got underway few weeks
back. This PROBE being conducted by the House
Munitions Lobby Committee is looking into the role
retired military officers play in securing lush
tracts for major corporations who employ them
after they retire.
Admiral Hyman Rickover the fiery little
conformist who constantly plaques Defense Dept
"brass", contends that this form of "influence
is wasting countless millions of tax dollars to the
great benefit of Westinghouse General Motors, and
other corporate giants who annually subsidized
by contracts running into the hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Drew Pearson, just last week. brought out that
since Admiral 'Mike" Carney retired and received
employment from number of military supply
porations, he has augmented his $12,888 annual re-
tirement pay by $4,000. In addition Westinghouse
furnishes him travel expenses and free office space.

With 67S students earning four

and perhaps as many as 200 earn

cation diploma, Montana is not pro-

forces state administrator and

is part and parcel of the negotiated contract
policy of the Pentagon. Of the 23 billion dollars
the Defense Department is spending weapons
this year, 85 per cent will be spent via negotiated
contracts.
Negotiated contracts to you, the taxpayer,
means that you're paying anywhere from double to
10 times as much for military equipment as would
be the case under competitive bidding. Corporations
having friendly relations" with the Defense De-
partmen via of top corporate officials who formerly
occupied the Pentagon, find negotiated contracts
unusually profitable.
Sen. John Sparkman, member of the Senate Small
Business Committee, recently revealed few ex
amples of how profitable, indeed, it is to have an
ex-member of the military "brass'' on 'frst name
basis with their successors. Sparkman's examples
show, according to the Madison, Wis. PROGRESS
SIVE:
When the Navy ordered gear assembly from
Westinghouse, a non-competitive basis it paid
$277.44. On competitive bidding, Glove Gear, a
small company, supplied the same gear for $27.50-
a saving of 900 per cent.
The Navy paid General Electric $82 per unit
for carbon packing. On competitive bidding it got
the same item for SIS.
Bearing sleeves cost $425 when purchased
from Allis-Chalmers on ''negotiated basis II
$189.50 on a competitive bid by the Waukesha
Bearing Company.

are hiking defense military weapons cost by
