Mildrev Thives IN
Damp Carpets

WASHINGTON, D. Should
you detect musty odor in
your home during the warm,
humid summer days, chances
are that mildeW is present in
your rugs or carpeting, warns
the National Institute of Rug
Cleaning.
M d W is a fungus which
grows. under certain conditions
on cellulose and protein ma
terlals. Such conditions are high
temperatures and humidity es-
peclally in closed, poorly light
ed rooms. This growth may be
found in all parts of a rug
from the wool fibers on the
face to the jute in the backing.
The roots of fungus grow down
n $ d e the fiber, splitting it
apart and thereby weakening it
greatly. BY allowing continued
growth, the fiber loses all its
s TT G n G t h and complete de-
terioration OF your carpet re-
suits.
The best remedy for mildew
is to prevent it from happening

be accomplished by keeping the
humidity low and airing out
c | 0 S e d rooms and Easements
frequently. However, if the

quick action On the part of the,

er the James River Division of
the Chesapeak and Ohio Rail
road. from Richmond to Glad

special for this line. which has
been without a passenger sched-
ule since June %. 1856. when the
last train was run with D. T.
Roger. conductor, who was also
conductor on the excursion Sun
day. D. T. Roger has worked
for the C & o RR for SIS years.
The excursion had 1853 passen-
gers who rode in two open cars
and two coaches with deluxe
seats. Stops were made at Scot

Norwood and Gladstone on the
trip west and returning from
Gladstone, stopped at Bremo and
Sabot. Moving pictures were
taken and nearly everyone
aboard had a camera.
The cost of the excursion from
Richmond to Gladstone ard re-
turn for adults was $3.50. In

Shading In
.Carpeting
Explained

WASHINGTON, D. c., = Does
your carpet or rug appear TO
change color in certain areas?
This is a normal occurrence
and is in no way the fault Of
the manufacturer or the clean
er. This condition is called,
shading"
All pile fabrics are subject
to shading. The nap of m o
rugs and carpets does not stand
up straight. Instead it has a
natural slope in one direction.
According to the National
Institute of Rug Cleaning, shad-
ing occurs when this natural
slope is disturbed causing the
pile in a certain area to lie in
a different direction. The light
reflected from the sides of the
tuft $ makes this area look
| brighter to the viewer than the
area where the light is reflect
ed from the ends of the tufts.
Wear. light. use, or soil will
cause all colors to change in
time. but such changes are not
related to shading
Shaded spots usually develop
in areas Of heavy traffic. In
our modern age, shading may
be especially prom ounce d
in front of TV chairs and cof-
fee tables and places where
people turn in walking.
Usually. better quality rugs
and carpets. having deep lush
pile. show the greater amount
of shading.
! Hardtwist on frieze carpets,
loop-pile carpets. and other tex
ture weaves usually show less
h ding than cut-pile on
smooth, velvety surface carpets.
Shading can sometimes be
corrected by professional clean
ing. How completely shading
disappears depends on how Sc
verely the pile has been crush
ed.
Sometimes shading may ap-
pear to be more pronounced

is not apparent. but after the
dirt and soil are removed, this

Paul M. Butler

The death of Paul M. Butler at the
age of 56 removes from the political
scene man we'll described as "a
skilled partisan" That tribute came
from John NJ Bailey, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, the
post formerly held by Mr. Butler.
AS partisan who never lodged
fight, Mr.. Butler inevitably was a
controversial figure - at times even
within his own party. His strong stand
for civil rights lost him the support
of many Southern members of the
party. He also had falling out with
Adlai Stevenson when the latter was
nominated second time for the presi-
dency. With the defeat of Mr.. Ste
venSon, however, Mr.. Butler regained
active control of party affairs and con-
tinued to assert vigorous leadership
during the remainder of his term as
chairman, or until 1860. After his re-
tirement as party head he returned
to the practice of law, but continued
his interest in Democratic politics-an
interest which never subsidized no matter
how frigid might be the political climate
in which he operated.

UIbricht Loves the Wall

walter Ulbricht, Communist leader
of East Germany, has authored an
astoniShingly frank article about life in
his peoples paradise" and why the
Berlin wall is both a necessity and
comfort to that land of darkness.
Writing in Pravda, the journal Of
truth" to all Communists wherever
they may be, Herr Ulbricht has stated
that the westward prevail flight of
East German workers, particularly of
specialists and professional people, has
cost the national economy of his
country" more than 80 billion marks
roughly, about $7.5 billion. This unbear-
able drain, he went on, has been halted
by construction of the barbed wire and
concrete wall across the heart of Berlin.
This justification for the wall is, of
course, somewhat different from the
earlier party-line explanation that it
was erected only to keep Western spies
and Saboteurs out of the Communist
state. For the record, though, Herr
Ulbrecht was not completely forgetful
He mentioned this menace of spies and
SaboteurS, but only incidentally to his
confession that the wall really was built
to keep people in, not to keep people out.
In developing his thesis, Author
Ulbricht left no grounds for possible
belief that he had told the truth un-
Willingly. He did, in fact, elaborate on
it. Many of the older East Germans
among the deserting intellectualS, he
explained, had grown up under "im-
perialist" political influences before the
virtues of communism had been brought
to their. attention. And among the
younger generation of the "intelli-
gentSia" there have been considerable
difficulties" about their education in
communism. Along with these problems,
too, there have been the deliberately
Subversive-and apparently successful
efforts of West German monopoliStS'
to recruit skilled workers from the
Eastern zone.
Among other things, it is not for us,
so far away, to pass judgment on the
ethics of the so-ealled West German
monopolists. 1t is possible that a help
wanted" appeal from either West Berlin
or Western Germany could have had
great attraction to skilled workers
resident in Herr Ulbricht's dreary and
economically depressed state, that older
East Germans who once had known
something of freedom could go in search
of it again, and that younger ones of
spirit and intelligence could rebel
against an education" in mental
slavery. But as for Herr Ulbricht, who
has been described so often in un-
flattering terms, we are impressed by
his venture into journalism and indebted
to him for an informative discussion on
why the wall was built.

Force and Sukorno

IndoneSia's President Sukarno obvi-
ously has no intention of negotiating"
the West New Guinea dispute. He wants
the Dutch to capitulate and hand the
area over to him.
This is the only conclusion to be
drawn from the latest development in
this war Threatening controversy. The
Dutch, through Premier Jan de Quay,
had announced they were willing to be-
gin negotiations on an unconditional
basis. This involved substantial retreat
from their former position that they
would discuss the matter only if the
Sukarno government agreed in advance
to self determination for the islands
primitive Papuan people.
President Sukarno, however, was far
from appeased. His government now
says there will be no negotiations unless
the Dutch consent in advance to hand
ing over the territory; that, lacking this,
1ndoneSia will "liberate" West New
Guinea by force of arms, and that there
will be none of this nonsense about self
determination for the PapuanS.
Clearly, this is demand for abject
surrender, and it is difficult to see how
the Dutch can submit to it. Whether
Indonesia, in event of Dutch refusal, will
resort to war remains to be seen. Mill
tary action certainly would entail risks
for the 'neutralist" regime. But if the
issue is forced and fighting starts, there
can be no doubt that responsibility for
the consequences will rest Suuarely on
the shoulders of Mr.. Sukarno.

WATCHING THE WORLD
De GouIIe Holds '62 Firecrucker?
By CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreign Correspondent Of The St,

remain to be worked out, the
tone of most reports is rela-
lively hopeful. Gen. de
Gaulle's own declaration that
two more French Army divi-
sions soon will be returned
to France from Algeria is be-
ing widely interpreted as in
dicating a formal cease-fire
in the near future.
Problem of Extremists
Agreement on the essen
tials of Algerian independ-
ence. however, is only a part
of the problem of restoring
peace in Algeria. Whatever
may be decided elsewhere, it
remains to be seen whether
any of these decisions can be
imposed on the spot against
the implacable opposition of
the extremists in both camps
who are determined to pur-
sue the war to the bitter end.
In fact, so far as many OBJ
servers are concerned, the
pattern of terrorism and
counter terrorism in Algeria
has reached the point which
makes any peaceful solution
virtually impossible. What
ever chance might once have
existed for a reconciliation
between the two communities
has now vanished in the
mount ting bitterness and
hatred following the toll of
bombings and killings which
reached a total of IL dead
and 81 wounded on New
Years Day.
Between them the Algerian
FIN terrorists, European ul-
traS of the secret army Or
ganization and now various
anti-SAO groups are rapidly
destroying any Semblance of
law and order in Algeria. Po-
lice admit their helpleSsness
in controlling their activities.
While the army, so far at
least, has been kept in a po-
sition of strict neutrality.
In this situation it is hard
to see how any reasonable
solution based on the idea of
an independent Algeria
stands any real chance of
success. The alternative,
which Gen. de Gaulle, him
self, suggested in his New
Years speech, would be re-
groupment of the European
population into one or more
coastal enclaveS and aban-
donment of the rest of the
country to the FIN. But this,
itself, could hardly be more
than a prelude to the final
act of the drama in which
the turn will be called by
desperate men.

Reverse EnqIish

1t is not without significance that
WebSter'S Third New international Die
tionary attributes second meaning
(not related to billiards, which is in
volved in it's first meaning,) to the term
reverse English" This afterthought is
that reverse English is "an apparent
contradiction or inverted application"
The action of one Frederick Phillips,
English of course, might be cited in
support of Webster (Third, not Second)
and with a notable assist in a court,
also English. Mr.. Phillips offered an
applicant, female type, job as stenog-
rapher. Said type, identified as Pauline
Parsons, accepted, but did not show up
for work as scheduled. Mr.. Phillips
sued for one weeks salary, the English
equivalent of $21 as promised Pauline.
The court found for Mr. Phillips. Poor
Pauline!
Mr.. Phillips explanation was not
at all an inverted application of reverse
English. ''If she (Pauline) had shown
up and had told her there was no job,
she could have collected weeks salary
from me" he said. $50 decided to sue"
Pauline's explanation-that she did
what lot of other English girls are
doing, simply took a better offer
apparently did not impress the court
any more than it did Mr.. Phillips. AS
a friend of the court and of Mr. Phillips,
though without any prejudice against
Pauline, W. think the case teaches a
useful lesson about responsibility. 1t
also broadens the direct application of
reverse English.

Familiar Theme

1t would seem hardly natural for
new year to begin in Washington with
out highway feud in the Lincoln
Memorial area. And sure enough, as if
anxious not to disappoint, highway and
Federal park officials have maneuvered
themselves into brand new impaSSe
over the long-planned freeway tunnel
beneath the Lincoln Memorial grounds,
connecting Independence avenue with
the new Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.
Oddly enough, this is one of those
rare instances in which both the District
Highway Department and National Park
Service seem, openly at least, to want
the road project to proceed. Park
officials, in fact, already have prepared
preliminary plans for the tunnel. They
argue, not without reasonableneSs, that
they should build the tunnel, and have
complete authority over its design, in
order to protect the memorial grounds
which they control. Since the job would
be financed entirely with Federal high
way aid funds, however, the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads insists that the
city highway department should retain
final supervision, to assure that the
highway needs also are met fully.
Well, someone obviously has to give.
And, ridiculous though it seems, this is
the kind of inter-agency hassle which
apparently requires officials at the top
level of each department, if not at the
White House itself, to straighten out.
This was required a few years ago to
reach agreement on the Roosevelt
Bridge approaches It was required six
months or so ago to work out the
financing agreement for the tunnel.
These same high-level officials now
should move in again to dictate the
terms under which the job will be
done-and the sooner, the better
