THE OLD WAY

Think back for moment taking care of your
floors is usually double job, isn't it? First
you have to wash them. And then (after wait
ing and waiting till they're dry you have to
get out the wax spread it on and wait for it
to dry. Time consuming, to say the least.
For years Armstrong has been looking for
way to simplify this Old-fashiOned, step
by-step method. And now they've found it.
FAST NEW METHOD
Armstrong researchers have succeeded in COM
bining floor cleaning and floor polishing into
one operation. They've developed new kind
of liquid that cleans and polishes at the very
same time -. and does both jobs thoroughly.
Aptly enough, this liquid is called Armstrong
One-Step Floor Care
There's never been anything quite like it
before. We think One-Step represents an en-
tirely new concept in caring for linoleum and
vinyl floors and floor coverings, asphalt, cork
and rubber tile.
Consider this. An s. x 1O' kitchen floor that
used to take an hour to do the old way can
now be cleaned and polished with One-Step
in less than half that time. This means you
can easily save hours and hours of work
every month caring for your floors.
HOW oNE-sTEP WORKS
One-Step contains an excellent cleaning agent
blended with special formulation of polishes.
In the scientists own language, 'These in
gradients have been selected so they work
together effectively for the first time. All you
dois spread on 0ne-Step, rub lightly to remove
Evening star., 1962-05-10

excellent cleaning action removes most crime
and dirt easily and, One-Step polishes like
the finest polish (puts down long-wearing,
protective gloss that doesn't Yellow.
We've made sure of that not only bytesting
One-Step in our own labs, but also by having
hundreds Of women test it for months and
months in their own homes.
THE PHILADELPHIA STORY
One Of the most interesting consumer tests of
One-Step was made in Philadelphia over a
year ago. A group of housewives tried the
product, which was then under development.
. The results were most favorable. In fact,
many of the women wanted to go right out
and buy more 0ne-Step, but found it wasn't
in the stores. Since then, we've actually been
getting calls from them asking when One
Step would be ready.
The moral of this is simply that Armstrong
had to be certain Of One-Steps ability to do an
excellent job. After ALL it's likely that we made
your kitchen floor or one of the other floors
in your house. So, naturally, we'd like to keep
you happy with your floors, too.
TRY n SOON
One-Step Floor Care is in the stores where
you do your regular shopping. It's on the
shelves with wakes and cleaning things =.
or look for great big display Of it. The
One-Step cOntainer has label that's ais
cOlorful as rainbow. You can't miss It.
Comes in quarts or economical half gallons.
Get One-Step the very next time you shop.
It will change your ideas about caring for

the dirt, and finish with smooth strokes in one
direction. No bufing, if you please because
One-Step Floor Care dries quickly to hard,
cleaning shine.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE oNE.sTEPs
That really depends on the wear your floors
get But we'd suggest, as rule of thumb, that
it's time for One-Step whenever floors get dirty
or dulled. If you use One-Step for regular
cleaning, your floors will have that lusrous,
freshly polished look much more often.
WHAT HAPPENS TO DIRT7
You may be wondering, at this point, where
the dirt goes when you clean and polish with
One-Step. Into a bucket, that's where. What
happens is this: AS you rub, One-Step loosens
dirt so it clings to your applicator You just
rinse the applicator in water occasionally Z. ;.
instead of rinsing the floor.
eWed like to add some words of reassur-
ance here about the performance of One-Step
Floor Care. Speed and convenience are all
well and good but does it really work?

Oil Men Tell
Details

DALLAS, Aug. 90 (AP).-
Two witnesses told yesterday
how a lease was rigged to make
angled, oil-stealing wells share
their loot with dummy holes.
An oldtime driller and an oil
company president described
the arrangement in testimony
before the Texas House InveSti-
eating Committee. which is
holding hearings on the East
Texas oil field scandal.
More than 500 wells with a
total production worth SO mil
lion a year have been shut
down. They are on leases where
investigators have found 100
wells Slanted to drain oil from
adjoining wells.
Another witness said the
rigged lease belonged in Fart
to aformer State official. He
accused the official of taking
$4,000 in bribes to keep the
situation secret.
Counsel for the committee
said another former State en-
ploye, accused of sharing profits
from Slanted wells, would get
a chance to testify today.
He Is Nelson Decker, Kilgore
district engineer for the Texas
Railroad Commission until he
was fired May IA for refusing
to take a lie detector test.
The commission, which reg
ulates the oil Industry, also dis
charged Kilgore district en-
gineer L. Dwight Murphy, ac-
cused yesterday Of banking
$4,000 in bribes over a four
year period. Texas Rangers
have not been able to find Mr..
Murphy or his wife.
Texas Assistant Attorney
General David McAngus test
flied that a trustee account in
a Houston bank under the
name of Haskell H. Carter, jr.,
Pittsburgh, Pa, paid olt $31, 900
to Mrs. Murphy. He said the
money was deposited to the
credit Of Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy
in the Hull (Tex.O State Bank
Mr.. McAngus said an addition
al $26,500 went to a Robert v
Jobe. He sail Jobe matched
Mr.. Murphy'S description.
Mr.. McAnguS said large
amounts of cash were mailed
to the Murphys, but he did not
detail how the remainder OF
the $4,000 was paid out.
Mr.. Murphy's job was to
make certain that wells were
lrilled properly. His salary was
$4,000 a year.

By'One-Sided'
Seminars Here

Just as President Kennedy
was urging nearly 5000 college
students yesterday to take up
Government careers. Repub-
hcans complained that G. o. P
sponsored students had been
barred from a series Of White
House seminars"
Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller an
nounced the @. o. P is setting
up its own student briefing.
This brought from Presiden-
tial Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger the comment:
Il can't believe the 5000
young people out on that lawn
today were all Democrats-not
unless the tide is running
heavily for the Democrats"
Later. Mr.. Salinger revised
the total at the White House
gathering down to 1887.
Mr.. Miller said in a state
ment that approximately 5000
students have been "interning"
in Government jobs here this
summer and most Of them have
attended seminars conducted
by the administration.
He said the White House
seminars have featured only
Democratic speakers and have
given a one-Sided view of the
Washington scene. The fact
that the G. o. P. committee
could not get an invitation to
them for interns sponsored by
the Republicans. he said, was
added proof that the seminars
have been perverted into
purely political operations"
Mr.. Miller said the Republi-
cans, in an effort partially to
offset partisan indoctrination"
of the students, will stage a
seminar of their own late today
in the House Ways and Means
Committee hearing room.
About $50 students who came
to Washington under Republi-
can sponsorship were to attend
the program. National COM
mittee and congressional cam
paign leaders arranged to ad-
dress the students, who have
been holding temporary staff
Jobs in congressional and ma

SHE'S MRS.. TRAVEL
Laura Waters Developed
roveIitis at an Early Aqe

"Wanda's now in Florida
visiting one of her sisters
who married an American, I"
Mrs. Waters reports. Her
visa has been extended so
she can stay here q little
longer.
Mrs. Waters says she would
rather visit Europe than any
place in the world, possibly
because its culture is so
closely linked with our own
that it makes history come
alive.
But she also has a special
nostalgia for Alaska, where
she spent that memorable
year as a child.
She and Mr.. Waters visit
ed the 49th State this sum-
mer-arriving in Fairbanks
for the first of the Golden
Days" celebration marking
the gold rush of 1898.
To this veteran Of the
gold rush days, who re-
members living for months
in a tent before her family
acquired the luxury Of a log
cabin, it seemed strange to
find motels so modern you
couldn't rou gh it If you
tried"
But If beauty contests and
the like are now the order
of the day on the Last From
tier, Alaska still has much
traditional color to offer the
visitor and she hopes to be
sending more tourists in that
direction in the future.

Wealthiest Travel Agent in

Mrs. Waters was ANNOYED
that her illness prevented her
from attending the 1860 per-
formance of the Passion
Play. It would have been the
fourth time she has seen it
in consecutive presentations
and she wanted to keep the
record intact.
She plans to revisit Ober-
ammergau soon, however,
when she and Mr.. Waters go
to Germany for the Society
Of American Travel Writers
Convention opening Septem-

In q way the upcoming
trip viii be a sentimental
journey for Mrs. Waters
whose honors include q min
iature replica of the Free
dom Bell (presented to Ber-
lin by Americans in 1945) -,
which she received in Ber-
lin in 1854 from DR.. Walter
Schneider, then the Lord
Mayor.
The award was in tribute
to her personal aid program
for the refugees who used to
stream into West Berlin be-
fore the days of the wall.
Travel Aunt
Active in the Soroptimist
Club Of Washington, Mrs.
Waters would collect cloth
ing from all her Soroptimist
friends here and then take
it over to Berlin whenever
she was there on a tour.
Airline personnel learned
to wink at the trunks the
American lady would insist
on bringing into Berlin with
her. THE travel aunt with
the king size luggage" stew
ards would whisper with a
smile and the phrase
was the "open sesame" that
always got the luggage in.
Mrs. w a ters would turn
the clothing over to fellow
Soroptimists in Berlin for
distribution to the relief CEN
ters. It's no wonder that any
trip she makes there now is
always a reunion with old
friends.
The Berlin refugees are not
the only beneficiaries of this
one-woman relief bureau,
however. Last May, for in
stance, Mrs. Waters turned
over her collection of cloth
ing to the Soroptimists Of
Paris to help refugees from
Algeria.
In Italy's Monte Casino,
the monastery town bombed
by Americans during World
War II, Mrs. Waters and her
husband always receive q
royal welcome.
John and I adopted q
family there in 1949-on our
first trip to Europe after the
war;" she explained, land
we've been looking in on

Mrs. Waters promised one
of the little girls that If the
latter learned English she
would bring her to America
and recently she had to
pay off. Wanda Caputo ar
rived last January to live
with the Waters while she
was attending the Ameri-
canization School here.
