Pointing Over Grease

QuestiOn-Flat white paint
was used on the kitchen
walls. This is not practical
because grease-Spatter marks
over the stove will not wash
off. Before repainting over
the stove with a gloss enamel,
what should l do to prepare
the wall so that the grease
marks already there won't
come through the new paint?
AnSwer-Apply a thick
paste of powdered chalk or
whiting or other absorbing
powder and a nonflammable,
liquid spot remover to the
grease marks; be sure the
kitchen is we'll ventilated.
When the paste is dry, brush
off and replace with fresh
paste. continuing until no
more grease is drawn off.
Then apply a coat of alum
mum paint or white shellac
(thinned half-and-half with
denatured alcohol; or use
Spray-on aerosol shellac) to
seal in any remaining grease.
Be sure all wall surfaces
are absolutely clean and free
of any trace of CRIME. wax,
grease, etc, by wiping down
with turpentine and fine steel
wool. Then apply a good
quality enamel undercoater
and the gloss enamel.

Spot on Nylon
Question: recently dis
covered a spot on my nylon
carpeting which seems to be
ink from a ballpoint pen.
The carpeting has a foam
rubber cushion back. What
do you suggest for removing
the ink spot?
Answer-The best method
would be to have a profess
Sional rug cleaner remove the
spot; ballpoint ink is some
times very stubborn, eSpe-
cially if it has affected the
nylon fibers. Try sponging
the spot with a nonflam-
mable liquid spot remover,
being sure the room is we'll
ventilated. and trying to keep
the liquid from penetrating
to the rubber back which
may be damaged by the dry
cleaner. Then dry the carpet
and gently brush up the pile.
I suggest writing to the
Cleaning, Inc, Bethesda IA,
Md. for a copy of a free
leaflet on Cleaning Floor

Question - My son has
bought a house with knotty
pine paneling in the kitchen.
1t looks dirty. What can be
Evening star., 1961-05-20

done to it to make it clean
and bright?
AnSwer-Use a creamy,
cleanup wax, made by a
nationally known manufac-
turer; this removes grease
and surface soil, leaving a
protective coating.
BIisterins Plaster
Question - The chimney
from our furnace runs
through one of the bedrooms.
The plaster wall on this side
Of the room is very trouble
some: BliSters develop and
fall off. ReplaStering doesn't
help and there are no leaks
in the roof or around the
chimney. Can you suggest
any other cause and remedy?
Answer-The condition of
the plaster indicates the
presence of moisture causing
the plaster to disintegrate.
There may be leakage
through the brickwork, even
if chimney Hastings are ade-
quate. If there is no air
space between the brick and
the inside plaster wall, con-
denSation may be occurring.
To correct this, the wall
should be furred out and
gypsum wallboard applied. or
lath and plaster over the
furring. The condition of all
the mortar joints in the
chimney should be checked
and all cracked and defective
mortar replaced. An asphalt
roofing cement applied over
all chimney flashings would
be an added precaution.

Nigerions ExpeI
French Envoy to
Protest Attest

LAGOS. Nigeria. Jan. 6 (AP) L.
Nigeria has given the French
Ambassador and his staff until
tomorrow night to get out Of
the country in protest against
Frances recent third atomic
blast 900 miles away.
The newly independent West
African nation also barred
French ships and planes from
Nigerian ports and airflelds
and threatened "sterner meas
ures" unless the French stop
atomic testing in the Sahara.
Expulsion of the diplomatic
staff fell short of a break in
diplomatic relations. although
the two countries presumably
will have such relations now
only through the embassies of
other countries.
There was no immediate
reaction from Paris. The
French government has re-
jected all previous objections
to her nuclear tests, contend
ing that they are not a threat
to neighboring areas.
Nigeria has no diplomatic
mission in France but had
planned to open an embassy in
Paris soon.

374 Pints Fail
To End Shortage
At Blood Center

The Washington Red Cross
Regional Blood Center today

Because Of the emergency.
the center. at 2025 E street

g am. to 5 pm. tomorrow and
Sunday. when it is ordinarily
closed.
A spokesman said the 374
pints received yesterday at the
center and by bloodmobile is
not SUFFICIENT to fill the nor
NAL one-day requirement OF
425 pints.
"A group Of Canine Corps po-
'licemen planned to visit the
center with their dogs today
to give blood. The crisis, pre-
cipitated by holiday demands
and the snow, is the worst in
years. At one point the supply
at the center dropped to 10
pints, forcing the center to turn
down requests from area hos
pitals.
The center would like to
have 1000 pints on hand for

MIR. Bennett insisted, how
ever, that he had no first-hand
knowledge that others were ac-
cepting them. 1--WE don't write
about them, we don't talk about
them-we're not proud Of these
transactions" he testified.
Garrison c. Tyler, q super
visory ship maintenance and
operations specialist for MSTS,
and William s. Mackie, assist
ant port engineer for MSTS
and the man who supervises its
inspectors, both denied receiv-
ing any payoffs or accepting
any gifts.
Tax Reports Cited
Senator Mcclellan said the
books and income tax reports of
many contractors show "a lot
Of liquor and gifts to you peo-
pie we're going into this
conflict of statements"
In launching the hearings,
Senator Mcclellan told his sub
committee that payoffs for
inadequate inspection could en-
danger the lives o. passengers
and crews of MSTS ships on
trips between military bases
around the world.
Mr.. Bennett first rejected,
then accepted, the word pay
of" as a correct description Of
money he had accepted, but
made clear he really considered
it as "favors." Showing little
emotion, he spun a story of
payments of $25 to $500 at a
crack from contractors in the
1951-58 period. He said the
money and gifts amounted to
81 500 a year.
some OF II, ne said, seemed
like a gift from Santa Claus
because he wasn't even sure
why he was getting the money.
Accepting such favors is so
widespread a practice, Mr..
Bennett insisted, it amounts to
common protocol"
Mr.. Bennett said he received
only $500 of a promised $1,000
payment from Jack Kane,
head of the now defunct Kane
Shipyard Corp, with an ex-
planation that the other $500
had gone to Mr.. Tyler. Mr..
Bennett was vague about the
dates Of these events.
Mr.. Tyler testified he had
never received money from Mr..
Kane. who since has died.

Horrified Judqe
Gives Long Term
In Fatal Beutino

James H. Simpson 81, today
was sentenced to serve from IA
years to life in prison for TAX
ing part in the fatal beating of
a man here in December, 1859.
District Court Judge Joseph
r. jackson handed down the
sentence after commenting that
the record in the case was one
Of the most horrifying" that
he had encountered in 80
years as a judge.
Simpson. of the 5000 block
Of Hayes street NE. was con-
victed Of second-degree mur-
der in November along with
two other defendants, Eugene
E. Turberville. "a, of the 400
block of N street S.W., and
Bernard T. Williams, %, of the
5000 block of Blaine street NE.
Turberville and Williams also
were given jail terms of IA
years to life when they were
sentenced last month.
All three were convicted of
beating 55-year-old Ollie Bow
man Of Alexandria, to death
on a vacant lot in the 400 block
Of M street S.W.
The jury also found them
guilty of charges of assault
with intent to rape a 49-year-
old woman.
Jail sentences given by the
judge on these latter charges
were ordered to run concur
rently with the sentence for
the second-degree murder. All
three men originally had been
charged with first-degree mur-
der.
The 14-year term is the min
imum in which the trio can
become eligible for parole.

here, although Mr.. Castro has
said 10,000-guard the 24-mile
fence around the base "a hours
a day. Cactus and brush have
been bulldozed from the faces
Of hillsides next to the fence
to cut down concealing cover
for anyone trying to sneak in.
A Naval emergency ground
defense force. composed Of
base operating personnel, is
charged with the internal Sc
curity job in emergency. In
daylight and dark they go
through regular war games.
This doesn't begin to count
the help that will come from
outside. "Gltmo" has no heavy
artillery but the fleet is Just
over the horizon" and that's
where the big guns will come
from.
The important thing is that
Guantanamo doesn't have to
contact anybody higher up for
the "big decision" policy. Now
it is shaped SO that when "con-
ditions A, B and c" are met,
as one officer put it. "the but
ton is pushed" Guantanamo
then launches its defense pro-
gram and the support from
outside arrives within hours.

izations marked q further
worsening of relations between
the government and the church.
Sources said militiamen seized
seven students in q search Of
the Catholic University Asso-
citation and picked up two
teaching brothers at La Sale
Convent. All were taken to mill
tary intelligence headquarters.
One Of the teachers, Brother
Alfaro, is a French national.
Machine guns were mounted
on the roofs Of strategically To-
Gated buildings in Havana.
Militiamen armed the towers
Of the Church of San Francisco
in East Havana and Belen
Catholic College in suburban
Marianao, closed for the holi-
days. Catholic sources said
priests were not bothered but
worshipers were refused entry.
The Catholic biweekly mag
azine La Quincena has of11ces
within San Francisco Church.
STAFF workers said they could
not do their jobs because Of the
militia occupation.
Archbishop Enrique Perez
Serantes Of Santiago fiew to
Havana, repeatedly to confer
with the church hierarchy on
issuance Of a new pastoral let
ter critical Of the Castro regime.
A dispatch from Santiago said
the printing plants in Cuba's
second largest city had refused
to print the pastoral letter for
fear Of government reprisals.
Previous pastoral letters have
denounced the growing influence
Of the Communists in Cuba and
brought bitter denunciations
from Mr.. Castro and the gov
ernment-controlled press.
