SeIf-RuIe for
Broadcasters
BY CASPAR NAMES
Star STAFF Writer

The president of the National
Association of Broadcasters to-
day declared the broadcasting
industry should have the re-
sponSibility of regulating itself.
The full picture of broad
casting is far larger than the
investigation of quiz scandals
and payola," Harold E. Fell
lows told a meeting of the
National. Religious Broadcast
erS at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
"The industry can regulate
itself far beyond the usual ex-
tent of anybody's business We
have to police ourselves and
we know that. There is M
other place to put the RESPONSE
bility for broadcaSting than
upon the shoulders of the licen-
see and his local community"
Sees Religion Advanced
Mr.. Fellows told the gather
ing, composed of broadcasters
associated with the National
Association of EvangelicalS, ~
think the broadcaster, in the
area Of both radio and tele-
vision, has done more to ad-
vance the cause of religion than
any other single medium
But he pointed out that the
ALLEGATION of public service time
creates a great problem and
pleaded "for a greater mutual
understanding of the fearful

/ bringing good news of the gos-
pei of Jesus Christ. We expect
the souls of people here to
be watered, refreshed and
blessed"
Mr.. Graham, slightly
rumpled by his long flight,
told the President: I'VE bring
the affection and love of mil
lions of American people.
I'VE deeply appreciate the
invitation of Christian leaders
of this country to preach the
| gospel of Christ. We come not
as political leaders. 1t is our
prayer that Africa will become
Christian"
Mr.. Graham was met at the
airport by Vice President Will
liam r. Tolbert and a small
band of missionaries represent
ing various Protestant denomi-
nations in Liberia.
On the 30-mile drive into
the city from the airport and
through the huge Firestone
rubber plantation, Mr.. Tolbert
stopped the party at a small
church and suggested a brief
prayer. The Vice President
prayed and the party sang
Now Thank We All Our God
and recited the 23d Psalm. The
minister of the church the Rev.
DR.. John Little, then prayed
and Mr.. Graham gave the
benediction.
When the party arrived at
Mr.. Tubman's mansion, the
President was sitting in a huge
mirrored reception hall with a
long cigar in his mouth waiting
to address a group of supporters
from his hometown Of Harper
The people had gathered to
honor the President as one of
their townSmen.
Advised by an aide that the
Graham party was waiting the
President hurried to a different
part of the mansion to greet
the evangelist.

problem which faces broad
casting in the fair and proper
ALLEGATION of time for religious
.programming.
"The broadcaster, no matter
how important he considers his
public service responsibilities,
must keep a constant and
watchful eye on the effect any
given program will have on his
overall balance. If a stations
programming is badly balanced
over a period of time, time on
that station will be Of no value
to anyone, including the re-
ligious broadcaster, for there
will be no one listening"
Churches Cautioned
DR.. Oswald C. j. Hoffman,.
speaker on Missouri Synod
"The Lutheran Hour" program,
warned the gathering that "the
churches are in the position of
sponsors of programs and they
must not fall prey to the same
things that other sponsors did.
The programs of the church
must be on the level and the
church must not try to disguise
itself when it goes on television
but must proclaim itself and
its message in a straightfor-
ward manner"
Senators Morton of Kentucky.
Curtis of Nebraska and Schoep-
pei of Kansas, Republicans,
and Talmadge of Georgia and
Marlborough of Texas, Demo-
Gratis, were among those at

Mr.. Whitmon's Solutions to Problems

QueStion-There seems to
be a very slight leak in our
fuel oil tank. I don't notice
any leakage now, but during
the heating season there is a
little oily moisture on the
cellar floor. What do you
suggest?
Answer - Since the oily
moisture occurs during the
heating season, I suspect that
either the oil burner needs
adjustment because Of i'm
proper mixture Of air and oil,
or some parts Of the boiler or
furnace have doors that do
not close tightly, allowing Oil
particles to escape before be-
ing burned. I recommend
having your oil burner serv-
ice man check the installa-
ton and the operating eff
ency.
Basement WoII Paint
Question:. would like to
paint the interior basement
walls with a waterproof
paint. They already have
some type Of paint on them.
Is there some way to tell what
type Of paint was used and
what procedure must be used
to remove it? 1t rubs OF to
the touch.
Answer-If the paint rubs
on to the touch, it is proba-
bly, either calcimine or white
wash. Both coatings can be
removed by washing with hot
water and a sponge or cloth;
adding a little household
ammonia to the water hastens,
the process, but be sure to
follow with ample rinsing
with clear water afterwards.
Tornished Copper
Question - I have some
large square copper knobs on
kitchen cabinets. From the
time I got them, they looked
tarnished and scratched. A
furniture ref1nisher advised
coating with clear lacquer to
protect them, which didn't
help. After three years they
looked so bad I was ready to
discard them. But they cost
81 each, and I have 20. I
removed tbs ..sl.cc1uer ~ and used
a copper polish. They re-
mained nice and shiny for
about a half day, then got
tarnished all over again.
What can I do to keep them
looking like shining copper
for at least a few days?
Answer-Clean and polish

How to Lower
Too-ToI House
BY DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

The owner had just fin
ished painting the founda-
ton green. and the result
was as though the house had
been dropped at least 2
feet. It now seems to hug
the ground and nestle nicely
into the shrubbery around it.
ANY type of foundation
can be painted: be it brick.
cement block, stone or poured
concrete. However, the paint
must be masonry paint, made
to cover these materials.
Outside of the benefit of a
better-looking house, paint
ing the foundation will 90
far toward preventing the alb
Sorption of water and damp
ness, which so often causes
trouble in the average house
basement.
AS a precaution before
painting masonry, the owner
should not be fooled by the
fact that it looks dry. It
usually takes three to four
days of good, clear, dry
weather. before you can be
sure that masonry has dried
out.

crete with roughened surfaces
is obtained by the simple de-
vice Of dra gging weighted
burlap over the surfaces be-
fore the concrete has set.
AS still a further way, of
achieving variety in the sur
face treatment of concrete
pavement, you can introduce
many other materials that
contrast in color and texture.
Bricks, for example, can be
used to provide a bold pat
tern and form textural con-
trast with the smooth con-
crete.

Nothing spoils the appear
snce of an otherwise nice
house as much as the effect
that some giant upheaval had
forced it up out of the earth.
Nine times out of 10 this
effect is caused by too high
an exposure of the founda-
tion walls.
There are several ways of
overcoming this. One is to
grade up the ground as much
as necessary.
Another is to add another
piece of trim around the bot
tom and a third is to paint
the exposed foundation wall
green, so that it blends into
the grass and adds mass to
the shrubbery used in the
foundation planting.
Of all of these; the paint
ing is about the quickest and
least expensive, and the
change it can make in a
house is almost unbelievable.
Only a few months ago we
saw a house which had al
ways looked stark and cold
because Of an excessively high
foundation exposure.

Squares Of concrete to
which small, white quartz
gravel has been added before
the concrete has become
completely hardened can pro-
vide variety. This is then
trowelled in to form an in
teresting. slightly bumpy sur

gravel makes an attractive
color contrast with the ce-
ment. Other contrast in tex
ture is furnished by the bands
of smoothly finished concrete
that separates the individual

Another technique is dia-

by bands of concrete that
have been Score-marked at
close intervals. These sepa-

Concrete Acceptable

concrete as a rather unin-

terraces and garden walks.
The truth is that concrete
can be made to look interest,"
ing. Durability and easy in
stallation recommend its use
in residential landscapes.
The secret of making con-
crete pavement interesting
lies in the use of patterns
and in varieties of textures.
To achieve these requires a

Restoring Chintx
Questionable chintz dra-
peries in our living room

Answer-The glossy finish
can be restored profession
ally; the glaze is achieved by
sizing the material. then roll
ing it between heated CYL
inders.
For glazing at home: Dip
material in a thin, hot clear
starch solution to which a
small amount of paraffin has
been added. using a piece
about two inches square for
each pair of drapes. Or try
