Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE. DELTA. UTAH FIRST AID to ths AILING HOUSE l. l by Roger C. Whitman Washing Painted Walls QUESTION: How can I wash my painted walls without having the gloss come off? ANSWER: Get one of the com-mercial preparations that is sold in package form and follow the directions for use carefully You can also use a mild solution of trisodium phosphate for the pur-pose. This can be bought at a paint or grocery store under a trade name; a soapless cleaning pow-der. You will find directions for use printed on the label. Do not expect any glossy paint to keep its gloss after many washings. Some of it is apt to wash off after a time. I WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Atomic Energy Commission Tells Plan to 'Breed' A-Bo-mb Material; Building Trades Ask T-- E3 Waiver (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) In Contempt CENSUS: Tell It All Mr. and Mrs. America will be asked practically to "tell it all" when the federal census takers start by next April 1. About every fifth person contacted by the enum-erators wil be asked to give even additional information to that asked in the routine process. Here's what each person will be expected to tell the census taker: Age, relationship to the head of the household, race, sex, marital status, birthplace, citizenship stat-us, employment status and occupa-tion. EVERY FIFTH PERSON, in ad-dition, will be asked: Where he or she lived a year ago. Country of birth of parents, length oi schooling and school at-tendance. For adults in the category, the enumerator will press for data regarding in-come, employment, and status as a veteran. And, if you happen to be No. 30 or any multiple of that number on the list, you will be asked to di-vulge still additional information regarding unemployment, details of your marital status and the number of your children. When the census is completed, the bureau expects to be able to give authoritative information re-garding housing, mortgages, utili-ty bills, rentals and household con-veniences. CONGRESSMEN, as per tradi-tion, will have a big hand in nam-ing district supervisors for the census-- taking. In March, these district supervisors will undertake the job of choosing their crew leaders and enumerators. Those chosen will have to go to training schools and be ready by April 1 to start their search for personal facts. ITEMS: 'Breeder' Planned Those duly impressed by the wonders of science through the years more or less expected the announcement but, no doubt, It came as a surprise to many that the U.S. atomic energy commis-sion was preparing to "breed" the scarce atomic materials that make the explode. HAILED as the biggest step yet taken in the attempt to harness the atom for use in industry, an en-gineering plant for "experimental breeding" of atomic materials actually was on paper. According to Dr. Lawrence Haf-sta-top AEC scientist, atomic ma-terials, no matter how produced, can be used for either bombs or peacetime purposes. This would include the hoped-fo- r generation of useful industrial power. He de-clared that the designers of the "breeder" device are confident it would work. Commissioners and aids also told newsmen that by 1952 the AEC should be building the first model of an atomic engine designed to propel ships. It will also start work next year on a reactor an atomic furance expected to yield "significant amounts" of electronic power and to "breed" or manufacture more atomic materials as it goes along. THIS, AEC AIDS SAID, is dis-tinguished from the experimental "breeder" whose primary purpose would be to produce new atomic materials, with power production only a sideline. Dr. Hafstad said the "breeder" reactor would be built at Arco, Idaho. He added that if it works, it will ease greatly the difficulty of getting more fissionable ma-terial. In "breeding," the scientists put some fissionable material in the furnace with a larger amount of They hope, in the process, to make some of the latter into fissionable material and thus have a net gain. Attorney Vincent Hallinan, defending labor leader Harry Bridges in the latter's trial on perjury - conspiracy charges, was cited for contempt of court during the trial which was pre-sided over by Federal Judge George B. Harris, in San Fian Cisco. LABOR: T--H Waiver Asked A psychological swipe at the y labor law was taken by employer associations and labor unions in the vast U. S. construc-tion industry. Both joined in ask-ing the national labor relations board (for exemptions from y labor law election require-ments. WHATEVER EFFECT the move might have on congressional action on y when members convene in January, there was no denying the action was well timed. With employer associations throw-ing in with labor in requesting the blanket exemption, opponents of y would find added strength. The construction industry's ma-jor management and labor groups contend that strict application of the T-- law to them will wreck g collective-bargainin- g practices and hamper building ac-tivities. Here, too, was a scintillating strategic maneuver, for with hous-ing still short and the problem still far from solved, anything which might be considered as an aid to increased building could ex-pect to get some consideration from congress. UNDER PRESENT T-- LAW, elections such as those mentioned, a vote must be taken before a union can be certified as the proper bargaining agent, and before a union can get a union-sho- p agree-ment one that requires workers after they are hired to become members of the union. It is a complete waiver of both these provisions that management and labor in the construction agen-cy are asking. GOVERNMENT: 'Poorhouse' State? The GOP was kicking around a new label for the type of govern-ment it contends the Truman ad-ministration is gradually bringing about in the U. S. This time it was tye "poorhouse" state, as compared wth "welfare" state as had been charged previously. PRESIDENT TRUMAN had grabbed up the tag "welfare" state and took the line that if that was a proper tag for all the progress and improvements his administration was bringing about, then the Amer-ican people ought to go all out for the "welfare" state. In that he had the support of many of the na-tion's newspapers. GOP National Chairman Guy G. Gabrielson, in answering Mr. Tru-man, accused the President's ad-ministration of leading the U. S. to a "poorhouse" state and to ag-gravation of a serious unemploy-ment problem in this country. Gabrielson charged that recent tariff cuts ordered by the President under the reciprocal trade agree-ments act, renewed by the 81st congress, have resulted in the "ex-porting of jobs of American work-ers in hope of providing jobs for workers abroad." Asserting that Democrats not only are spending money that will have to be repaid in taxes col-lected a hundred years from now, Gabrielson declared: "IF WE CONTINUE, under the present administration we are headed for a poorhouse state, and while the inmates of a poorhouse may have a certain amount oi security, their lot is not particular-ly enviable." The GOP chairman added thai the policies of the present adminis-tration are directed toward "de-stroying the American system oi free enterprise." That's a familiar cry from the GOP, but on the basis of past bal-lot records, it has little weight witfc the majority of U.S. voters. 'KICKBACK': Solon Accused The trial of Rep-J- . Parnell Thomas (R., N.J.) opened with charges that he forced a former secretary and codefend-an- t to aid him in a salary "kick-back" scheme. THE CHARGE against Thomas was made by John R. Fitzpatrick, attorney for Miss Helen Campbell, CHINESE: Trigger-Happ- y The muddled China picture was getting no clearer, and the U.S. again had been put in the middle. INSULTED by China Commu-nists who had imprisoned (but later released) the U.S. consular attache, Angus Ward, Americans fumed anew as Chinese National-ists, supposed friends of the U.S., were charged with firing upon a U.S. vessel, the Sir John Franklin. The incident occurred off Shang-hai. The ship's owners released a radio message from the skipper of the ship who charged that two Nationalist warships had ignored his order to halt for a boarding party and had, instead, raked the vessel with a "constant barrage" of shells, almost at point blank range. The ship's owners demanded that the U.S. act to curb the "trigger-h-appy" Nationalists. The state department said it would protest "energetically" to the Nationalists government. The U.S. agency entered the picture after receiving reports of the in-cident from Walter P. McCon-augh- U.S. consul-gener- at Shanghai, who said no one aboard the vessel was injured. THE INCIDENT was the latest in a series of attacks or other mis-adventures suffered by the com-pany's vessels at the hands of the Nationalists. An unexplained angle of the sit-uation was the question of what a merchant vessel was doing or i,ts rights in ordering a man-of-w-of the Chinese Nationalists to halt for a boarding party. j POPULATION: I U. S. Climbing According to a U.S. department I of agriculture report, the popula-- I tion of the United States will in-- s crease by leaps and bounds in the ! next 26 years. i THE REPORT predicts that the current U.S. population of approxi-- : mately 150 million will rise to a thumping 188.5 million by 1975 an increase of 26.4 per cent. The "high level" assumptions on which the report is based are a I combination of factors including j high fertility, low mortality, an- - nual net immigration to the U.S., and a high degree of internal mi-gration ! that is, moving back and forth within the United States. one-tim- e secretary to the former chairman of the house activities committee. Both Thomas and Miss Campbell were charged with fraud and con-spiracy by which the congressman allegedly padded his office payroll and took salary "kickbacks" from two employees. If convicted, the representative would face up to 32 years in prison and fines up to $40,000. The house of representatives would have to decide whether he could remain in congress. Miss Campbell would face a somewhat lesser penalty. MISS CAMPBELL'S attorney con-ceded that she aided in the "kick-back" scheme, but only under Thomas' orders, and denied she was guilty of conspiracy. Actually, he said, she went to the justice department and voluntarily told "everything the government knows about the case." The government claims the al-leged plan netted Thomas a total of $812. While he is accused of fil-ing false payroll claims totaling nearly $1,700, it is not alleged that he got all the money. it; . O If there is one place in the world where art can be billed in big, bold capital letters, it is the Louvre in Paris, for centuries the cradle of the world's, richest col-lection ot masterpieces. This is the treasure house that is a "must" in the grand tour of any art lover. The tour begins in the long corridor (left) which leads to the entrance ot the art gal-lery of the Louvre. As it now stands, the Louvre is 750 yards long, 182 yards wide and about 85 feet high. Photo below shows the "grand staircase" which leads up to the treasured "Winged Victory."
