Gen. Gill, the senior United

have been subjected to sharp
criticism, some of it from Con-

dairy from scientific to MILL

Mr.. Bundy. Special As
sistant to the President for
National Security Affairs, did
not specifically mention sci
entific military controversies
such as the recent one over the

role of scientist in Govern
ment in such a way that the

to a topic that somehow steps
across the boundaries of purely
technical problems. Mr.. Bundy
said.
Earlier in his address, Mr.

before the AAAS by Sir Charlie,
Snow in 1860, Mr.. Bundy

predicted.

gled out Mr.. Khrushchev's
charge that West Germany was
preparing the nation for a civil

This accusation is not only
the most grotesque ever made
but shows also a great mis-
conception of the Germa n

He said the West German
government regrets what he
called "the disgraceful, untrue
and insulting language" Of the
letter which Mr.. Khrushchev
sent to Mr.. Adenauer last
Monday.
Mr.. Won Hase said it had not
been decided as yet whether Mr.
Adenauer will send a reply.
A Socialist statement said
Mr.. Khrushchev's letter con-
tanned numerous misconcep-

PARIS, Dec. 20 (AP).-The

he favored a British alliance
with May Germany while he

Insulating Attic
Question: / want to install

way UP under the roof?
Answer: No; the recon-
mended procedure is to put
the insulating material be-
tween the rafters up to the
ceiling height; then it is run
horizontally across to the
opposite rafters and down to
the caves. Insulation between
rafters should be so placed
that there is an air space
between insulation and roof.

crowI Space odor
Question-We have a crawl
space under a wing of our
house. The lowers remain
open all the time, but the
ground remains damp and
we get an unpleasant odor.
How can we eliminate this?
Answer - Sprinkling t h e
ground with chloride of lime
will absorb the smell and
moisture. But I recommend
covering the earth with a
moisture and vaporproof
barrier to prevent ground
moisture from rising. Use
sheets of building paper or
polyethylene plastic, over
tapping at least six inches
and either seal the seams or
weight the overlap with large
stones If the ground is level.
Sink Bock-up
Question: We live in the
downstairs apartment of a
two-story house. Water from
the upstairs kitchen sink usu-
ally backs UP into our kitchen
sink, making a gurgling
sound. What causes this and
how can it be corrected?
Answer: The plumbing
system may be improperly
vented, causing the dis
charge from the upstairs sink
to create suction as it passes
the drain of your sink, de-
stroying the trap seal. This
permits 1t to be drawn UP
into your sink together with
air, creating the gurgling
sound. Or the drain pipe
pitch from your sink may be
incorrect. I recommend hav-
ing a competent plumber
make a personal inspection
and necessary correction.
