Question - I've tried
several places to get Javelle
water, but no one seems to
have it to sell; some say it's
just bleach water. I want to
remove discoloration on my
tub. Where can I obtain it?
Answer-Yes, Javelle water
is chlorine bleach: ID is some
times sold under its own
name. usually under a trade
name; supermarkets, hard
ware, paint dealers have it.

our inside windows. We have
storm windows; hot water ra-
diator heat. Do we need q
dehumidifier?

chimney leak, Hastings leak,
too much laundry moisture,
moisture from hot showers

mended: Two parts cement,
six parts sand, one part fire
clay. The dry ingredients are
mixed together first; then add
water for a stiff, workable
mixture. Joints should be be-
tween l/16 to ~ inch.

A three-alarm fire destroyed
DempSey'S Boathouse at 5000 K

wind, the flames leaped as high
as the nearby Key Bridge. AT
least two firemen were treated
for smoke inhalation and a fire
lieutenant went to a hospital
with burns.
The two-story frame build
ing on the Potomac River was
abandoned late last summer
and was scheduled for demoli-

Firemen struggled to keep the
flames from spreading to the

adjoining property.
The movement of traffic was
impeded. Police blocked off
cars at Wiscontin avenue and

move west of K.
At least four autos parked
on the street were damaged.

The first alarm was sounded
at LOT pm. and the second

With the construction of the

declared unsafe for use.

DR.. Killian served as chair
man of the board from early
1856 until 1858 when he was

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
May 3.-The firing of a manned
space capsule is off until Friday
at the earliest, and may not be
attempted again until as late
as Sunday.
This was announced today by
Walter Williams. flight director
for the National Aeronautics
and Space Administrations
Project Mercury.
Mr.. Williams, who ordered
postponement of the initial
launching attempt yesterday
morning, said weather was the
sole cause of the delay. He dis
counted reports that mechanical
difficulties had actually forced
the postponement, and that
weather was used as a con-
venient and convincing excuse.
Circuit Not Working
One of four electronic cir
cults carrying information from
the capsule to the ground was
out of commission, Mr.. Will
liams admitted. However, he
and other NASA officials said
the circuits function was dupli-
Gated by other instruments, and
that there never had been any
intention to scrub" the mis-
sion on that account.

VIENTIANE, Laos, May 3
(AP). - The pro-Communist
Pathet Lao command ordered
its troops to cease fire today
but rebels attacked Pha Lane,
a key town on the road to Cen
trail Wet Nam at the thin waist
of Laos.
Informants here said the as
sault in battalion size began
this morning and was still 60
ing on near midday.
Pha Lane is about 60 miles
east of the southern govern
ment stronghold of Savanna
khet, on the west border. The
highway east lead to an area
of South Wet Nam just south
of the border with North Wet
Nam.
The attack followed a NOR
tar barrage last night on Hin
Heup. government frontline
command center on the Nam
Lik River about so miles north
of Vientiane.
Talks in Disputed Area
Despite the attacks, there
was some belief that bad COM
munications were to blame and
did not destroy the chance for
an overall cease fire.
Cease-fire talks were held
Monday and Tuesday in the
disputed area just north of the
Nam Lik River.
A de facto cease fire had
been observed in that area since
late Monday and government
and rebel officers worked out
a wider agreement of this key
area.
The reported plan was to
proceed on a step-by-Step basis
along various fronts.
Western military eXpertS
warned before hand that there
might be incidents and fight
ing after any cease fire.
Some units might not get
their orders in time, they said.
Guerrilla units have been cut
off behind enemy lines. Some
units might act independently
or engage in bandit mauraud-
ing, it was said.
Rebels Call on BOun Gum
The Pathet Lao rebel radio
broadcast a general ceaSe-fire
order effective at 8 am. (9 pm.

ment Of Prince Boun Gum to
