Rusk and GromYko
Confer About Luos
Cdn'tAgree
On Geneva
Procedure

GENEVA, May i3 (AP).-
United States Secretary Of
State Dean Rusk said today a
meeting back in Laos may be
settling some of the questions
the Great Powers have failed
thus far to settle.
A 14-nation conference on
Laos future failed to start on
schedule yesterday, Stymied by
the fact that the Soviets and
the West could not agree on
how Laos was to be represented.
Mr.. Rusk and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko failed
to settle the issue in a face to
face meeting today.
Mr.. Rusk, in a curb-side in
terview, appeared surprised
that some of the rival Laotian
politicians expected here now
are planning to meet before
that in Communicated Lao
tian territory. They are seeking
to form a single Laotian gov
ernment.
"They may be settling some
Of the questions we are talking
about here" Mr.. Rusk COM
mented.
He said the situation may be-
come clearer after the Laotians
meet tomorrow.
Leaders Confer
Mr.. Rusk and other leaders
Of East and West held a series
of conferences all through the
day in an attempt to save a
conference that has run into
an impaSse before it starts.
The issue of Laotian repre-
sentation kept the conference
from starting on schedule yes
terday. In his first try at per-
sonal diplomacy with the Rus
slams, Mr.. Rusk conferred with
Mr.. Gromyko in a Soviet hill
side mansion to try to end the
dispute.
Mr.. Rusk told newsmen after
his meeting that the United
States would not accept the
Soviet demand for full and
equal status for the Commu-
nist-led Pathet Lao at the con-
ference table.
This represents an injection
of a new idea by the Soviet
Union," Mr.. Rusk said. "ThiS
was not the basis on which We
were invited to the conference"
Encouraged by Others

were together at the tree
shaded Soviet mission for 10
minutes. The American de-

To End Chaos
Kusuvubu Seeks
Recovering in
Next Few Weeks

LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo
May Is (AP).-President Joseph
Kasavubu today called Parlia-
ment back into session to help
resolve the political chaos that
has split the nation since its
founding. 1t is expected to
meet in a few weeks.
After nearly 10 months of
confusion. misery and all kinds
of privation," the President said
in an address, leach of us will
have taken note of the need for
stable social order based on the
principles of public morality
and legality"
The call for Parliament to
meet represented an attempt
to bring Katanga back under
control of the central govern
ment, now that Katanga Presi-
dent Noise Tshombe has been
arrested on treason charges.
He has proclaimed his province
an independent nation.
1t remains to be seen whether
Katanga's deputies will desert
Mr.. Tshombe and attend the
parliamentary session.
U. N. Protection Asked
Mr.. Kasavubu asked for
United Nations protection for
the parliamentarians and their
families. and for U. N. travel
facilities to bring the members
to Leopoldville.
He called the first session to
open Immediately after the con-
clusion Of the present political
conference in Coquilhatville,
probably this month.
THE moment is very grave, "
Mr.. Kasavubu said in a formal
address in Coquilhatvil
Everyone has the duty to COL
laborate in the work of re-
construction. I hope the con-
vocation Of Parliament will
bring not merely a return to
legality but a full new lease of
life for our population"
BY recalling Parliament Mr..
KaSavubu effectively challenged
the rebellious Lumumbist re-
gime in Stanleyville to come to
terms with the central govern
ment.
Rebel leader Antoine Gizenga
has always insisted that only
Iparliment could designate a
legal government.
TshOmbe Facing Trial
Mr.. Gizenga took over the
leadership among followers of
ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba,
slain during captivity early this
year, and set up a rump regime
in Stanleyville to continue the
fight for a rigid central govern
|ment.
Mr.. Lumumba was killed while
in the jurisdiction of President

who declared his province a
separate state right after Con-
golese independence last sum-

The revised price schedule,

FNMA's secondary market
operations.
Money Eoses
The agency, in such opera
lions buys mortgages from
the original lender with the
aim Of making more mort
gage money available. Since
its price must. by law, follow
the open secondary mortgage
market, the rise in price indi-
Gates that more investment
money is seeking mortgages
and that mortgage money is
becoming less tight"
The new prices, which
represent about one-half of
one per cent increase accord
ing to FNMA President j.
Stanley Baughm an, will
range from 100 to 99.5 for
five and three-quarter per
cent mortgages: 99.5 to 97.5
for five and one-half per

95.5 for five and one-quarter

prices vary within the ranges
on a basis of the area of the

Home Buyers Today
Know What They Want
By ANDY LANG
AP Newsfeotures Writer

A prospective customer on
a used-car lot sometimes will
give a tire an authoritative
kick. Presumably, this is a
testing method that will re-
veal the number of miles of
service still in the tire. But
the used car dealer can be
fairly certain the tire-kicker
knows very little about auto
mobiles. The test is useless.
In much the same way,
years ago, home buyers would
attempt to hide their lack Of
knowledge by conducting
little tests intended to un-
cover poor quality but actu-
ally Of no value.
Buyers Experienced
Home buyers these days are
far wiser. For one thing,
many of them are buying a
home for a second or third
time. Experience has taught
them what is important in a
house and what isn't. For
another. they have become
educated to the Importance

CIogged Shower Heads
Are Easily Cleaned
BY ROGER G. WHITMAN
Contributing Writer

Question. The shower head
in one of our shower stalls
now gives only a dribble of
water instead of the spray
it used to supply. Does this
mean it is clogged? How can
it be cleaned?
Answer. The shower head
is probably clogged with sedi-
ment, To remove the sedi-
ment and clean the head, de-
tach the head and clean out
the holes with a darning
needle or thin, stiff wire;
then clean the back with
steel wool.
'0utIet Boxes
Question. We recently
built a ranch home and
thought we had taken all pre-
cautions to insure maximum
insulation against heat and
cold; walls have 212 inch bat
ting insulation and ceiling 3
inches of bait plus 4 inches of
blown-in insulation. We no.
tice all outlet boxes have
heavy drafts of cold air from
them; on both inside walls as
well as outside ones. What
is the reason and can any
remedial action be taken?
Answer. The drafts are
due to neglect to pack
around the box inside the
wall when the insulation was
installed, and wiring in
stalled. I recommend having
the builder called to correct
the oversight, or the dealer
who installed insulation.
The switch plates and
boxes in the walls must be
removed (after electric cur
rent is turned Off and small
pieces of insulation or any
thick padding (heavy felt
from an old hat) worked
around to surround the box
on all sides when reinserted
into its cavity.

The cardboards which come

when you're painting walls.
Hold the cardboards against

Similarly, protect the walls
when you enamel the trim.
Be sure that there's no paint
on the -underside when you
move the cardboard to a new

Literature Helped

From experience, the build
ers have learned which ques-
tions are asked most often
by prospective buyers. On
the matter of electricity, for
instance, there has been
much written and advertised
about circuits with insuffi-
cient power for modern con-
veniences. Buyers want to
know, therefor, whether the
circuits will handle all ap-
pliances without the neces-
sity of electrical additions at
a later date. This was a
question virtually no one
asked 10 or Is years ago.
Other frequent questions
concern the waterproofing
Of the foundation, the dis
tance between studs, the
type Of sh ea thing used
and the plum bing and
heating units. There is coYf@
siderable interest in sound
transmission between rooms.
Siding and roof shingles also
get attention. How often
must the exterior be
repainted with that par
ticular kind of siding? and
are the shingles of the type
that will stay in place under
high wind conditions?
Home buyers these days
know what they want.

Builders have discovered
that home shoppers ask

blisters? How can I repair
the ones that haven't dis

times caused by working too
quickly and applying the
paper to the wall before the
paste has been properly alb
sorbed. To repair the re-

the cabinet and gets covered
with moisture.
First I thought it was a
leak, but I noticed the pipes
are wet all over. The pre-
viouS owners 1--WE bought
this house last Summer)
wrapped moisture proof tape
around the pipes, but 1t
doesn't help. We have no
basement. We have lived in
many houses and never had
this trouble before. What
can I do?
Answer: The moisture and
dripping water is probably
caused by the very humid
kitchen air coming In con-
tact with the cold water
pipes and condensation re-
sulting. Better ventilation
and air circulation, for the
kitchen as we'll as the cabi-
net interior, should be pro-
vided. The doors of the
cabinet should be left open
as much as possible. In
serting small vents in the
upper part of the doors II
possible, should help.
Cover the water pipes with
insulating tape, instead Of
the moisture-proof tape; it
is available at most hard
ware stores, or plumbing
supplies dealers. Installing q
kitchen exhaust fan to draw
off the moist air due to
cooking vapors also will
help; and keeping the win
dows open as much as pos
sible on dry, clear days.
