How to Care for Resilient Floors

to two or three times a year.
At other times, mopping
should be done with a string
mop wrung out in cold water.
The use Of strong soaps
should always be avoided.
Soap may soften and dissolve
the binder in asphalt tile. A
detergent such as is used for
your laundry, is safer. Wipe
up spilled foods before they
dry and sweep the floor daily
so that sand and grit will
not be ground into the sur
face.
Wax Is Best
Wax affords the best pro-
lection for resilient floors.
This department does not rec
ommend the use of any Of
the so-called plastic prepara-
tions sold for use on these
floors. Three types of wax
are available. Paste wax
forms a hard durable finish
which, in our opinion, is not
equalled by other types. 1t
is more work to apply and it
must be buffed. This extra
work causes other forms of
wax to be more popular. Paste
wax, however, must not be
used on asphalt or rubber
tile.
Liquid wax is paste wax re-
duced with a solvent. The
solvent is an excellent clea-.-
ing agent for stains on floors.
This wax, too, must be
buffed. Like the paste wax.
it must not be used on as

World Airlines Told to Drop Fares
By GERALD L. MILLER

ROME LY - The worlds major airlines were told today they must cut fares to get more business and must face up to the prospect of supersonic airplanes.
 The question of fares and super sonic planes came to the fore at the opening session of the 18th general meeting of the Internation- al Air Transport Assn. QATA), the worldwide organization of sched- uled international airlines. LATA members handle 95 per cent of in ternational passenger traffic.
 Sir William P. Hildred of Bri- tain, Director General of IATA. called for drastic fare cuts.
 But in note of caution, Nicolo Carandini, president of the Italian airline Alitalia and new president of IATA, warned against what he called ''imprudent reductions of fares" Carandini said faulty fare cuts might cause deficits, forcing airlines to seek loans that might cost their independence.
 The Italian air executive also tied the question of fare cuts to the question of supersonic jets, which have been viewed with some misgivings by many industry circles. Airlines should not be frightened by the coming of the faster-than-sound planes, Caran- dini said, but should assure a long life for supersonic planes during moderate and planned period of transition"
 He called for preparation of system of gradual reforms in fare structure to permit a useful CO., existence between supersonic and subSonic air fleets.'

Hurricane Flora
 Won't Die: Double. Punches Cuba

MIAMI. Fla. LF - Hurricane Flora slashed northward back into Cuba today and, for the fourth straiht day, the Communist island reeled under the vicious one-tWo punch of bowling wind and driving rain.
 With more to come, the already StaggerirS economy of Fidel Cas- tro's regime had suffered crush ing blow. The Agrarian Reform Institute said half of the sugar, rice, coffee cotton and cocoa crops may have been destroyed.
 Sugar, the backbone of the Gu ban economy, has been used by Castro to trade with Russia for military and other assistance.
 Forecasters searched their rec ords, wondering when, if ever, a hurricane had hammered so long at single area.
 Flora moved in over eastern Gu ba's Oriente Province Friday and sat there for nearly two days. Then it drifted just off the south coast and for another 48 hours stalled in the Caribbean, while it's winds blasted Cuba from Cama- guey to Santiago.
 Today the hour storm went back on the prowl, striking into Cuba again near Santa CriZ Del Sur. It was whirling very slowly toward the city of Cana guey and there was no telling how long it would stay over Cuba this time.
 The Cuban radio broadcast re- ports of the crop destruction, of collapsing homes and buildings, and of serious floods that forced the evacuation of nearly 35,0OO persons from Santiago De Cuba and Victoria De Las TunaS.
 With more than 400 dead in her wake in the Caribbean, Flora now threatens the Bahama Islands and Florida.

children be admitted i'm
mediately to the all white

School. He further directed
that the county could not
abandon public education
as long as other public
schools remain open in Vir-

Judge Butzner heard the
case on November is, as the
three Negro children asked

Powhatan officials from
using race as a criteria for
keeping egro children
from attending the white
schools.
The three children, Maria
COncetta Morris, Pauline
Estella Evans, and Alcibia
Olene Morris were among
IS Negro children who took
their case to the Federal

Federal Govt
Enters Prince
Edward Case
Brief Contends
County Must
Provide Funds

The Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals has admitted the Fed
eral government to the Prince
Edward County school segrega-
ton case as a friend Of the
court. The Circuit Court, under
Chief Judge Simon E. Sobeloff,
will hear the appeal case start
ing Wednesday, Jan. 9, in Alex
andl'ia.
The case is being appealed
from the court of Judge Oren
R. Lewis Who ruled last August
public schools in Prince Edward
cannot be closed SO long as pub
lie schools elsewhere in Virginia
are being operated. The argu-
ments on Wednesday will deal
with Judge Lewis decision, plus
several other important points
that have been appealed by both
parties. Included in the appeal
will be the question Of whether
school children of Prince Ed
ward cannot receive state and
local tuition grants SO long as
public schools in the county are
closed Judge Lewis has tempo
rarlly granted an Injunction
against the use of state on coun.
ty tuition grants for Prince Ed
ward children.
Another important point. rails
ed by the Negro plaintiffs, con
tends that tuition grants should
not be allowed for attendance at
any school, public or private,
which discrinnnates on account
of race This decision Will affect
the entire state of Virginia as
well as every Southern state.
The Negro lawyers are also
asking that the Circuit Court put
teeth in Judge Lewis decision,
by cutting off state school funds
to all Virginia localities until
Prince Edward public schools
are opened
Government Brief
The brief, filed by the govern
gnent, contends that the Prince
Edward board of supervisors
can be forced by the court to
provide public school funds. The
Justice Department is baSng its
proposition on a case in 1913,
when Virginia asked the ST.
preme Court to compel West
Virginia to levy taxes to satisfy
a Judgment awarded Virginia.
Here are the reasons cited by
the Justice Department for the
entry Of an affirmative order:
IL The county board Of super
Visors has the power to levy
taxes for the support Of public
schools.
"a Such schools may not be
closed while the state maintains
"a, school system elsewhere in
Virginia
90 Part Of the essential opcr-
ating revenue for such schools
comes from taxes levied by local
governing boards
a The county supervisors are
state officers for purposes Of the
Fourteenth Amendment. T h IL S
they, like the state. are under
a positive federal constitutional
mandate to do whatever is
necessary to cease the uncon-
StltuuOnal conduct.
The Justice Department brief
concluded that this, of course,
means that they must reopen
