REMOVING old putty when
replacing a broken window
pane is a tough job unless
the putty is softened first.
Soak a piece of string in
kerosene. Place it next to
the putty and light it. Vtork
in a small area at a time so
the putty will not reharden
before it can- be removed.
Don’t use gasoline alone; it
burns too fast. This is a tip
from the idea pool of the
American Builder, trade
publication of home builders.

September 24 weighing 8 pounds

George. Sgt. Pointon is stationed
at Nome Field with T-23 unit.

Refugee Professor
Broadcasts Why
He Quit Poland
WASHINGTON, UP—Dr. Marek
Stanislaw Korowicz Thursday told
a congressional committee — and,
via radio, the people behind the
Iron Curtain—why he quit Po
land’s United Nations delegation
and asked asylum in the United
States.
“I knew it was only in the Uni
ted States that I could serve to the
fullest extent the interest of Po
land,” he said.
The 50-year-old law professor
spoke in French from the witness
chair of the House Un-American
Activities Committee.
His immediate audience was
limited to a translator, committee
members, newsmen, radio - TV
technicians, and representatives of
the National Committee for a Free
Europe, Inc., a private organiza
tion. As a security measure to pro
tect Korowicz, the general public
was barred.
But radio picked up the Pole’s
words and flung them across the
ocean to Europe and to such lis
teners behind the Iron Curtain as
dared to tune in.
Kodowicz, a distinguished look
ing, graying man with black
rimmed glasses, told the commit
tee there are many who do dare.
He said that broadcasts by Radio
Free Europe and the Voice of Am
erica are heard “by millions and
millions of Poles.
Korowicz said that even before
he left Poland he had made up his
mind that he would try to escape
from the Communists when he
reached the United States.
Korowicz was attending the U. N.
JuridicalCommittee meeting when
he deserted the Polish delegation.
He declared that no more than
five or six percent of his country
men are members of the Commu
nist Party, that he had never been
a party member, and that “singu
larly, no one ever invited me to
become a member.”
Although many claims have

SLIM LIKE A RABBIT
STORRS, Conn.,UP)—Here’s some
advice for people who need to
watch their weight: eat rabbit.
The advice comes from Owen
Trask, assistant agricultural ex
tension poultryman at the Univer
sity of Connecticut, who says:
“Rabbit meat is high in protein
and low in fat. It’s economical,
too, since nearly 85 percent of the
dressed weight can be eaten.”
Furthermore, says Trask, rabbit is
a lot like chicken in appearance
and taste.

Britain Joins U.S.
In Their Policy In
Dealing With Reds
UNITED NATIONS, N.'Y., UP—
Britain Thursday welcomed ap
parent moderation of Russian pol
icy since Stalin’s death and called
on the Soviet Union to agree to
step-by-step negotiation of East
West quarrels.
Agreement on individual issues
such as Germany and Korea, Min
ister of State Selwyn Lloyd told
the U.N. General Assembly, would
“maintain some ' momentum be
hind the improvement.”
Negotiations with the Soviet
Union on one issue at a time has
been the policy favored* by the
United States. Lloyd Thursday
paid tribute to Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles for his “tem
perate and statesmanlike” exposi
tion of those views in a speech
here last week.
Prime Minister Churchill called
last May for a top-level confer
ence of leading world powers, pre
sumably including Soviet Premier
Georgi Malenkov, to ease world
tension. The United States op
posed this, and Thursday’s British
statement appeared to put the two
Western allies side by side in the
policy to be followed in dealing
with Moscow.
. Netherlands Foreign Minister
J. M. A. H. Luns also called on
Russia to negotiate directly on
Korea, Germany and Austria and
said such parleys could achieve
more important results than the
current debates in the assembly.
“One matter on which we are
very ready to try to make progress
is Germany.”
To this end, he urged the Krem
lin to accept the invitation ex
tended by the United States, Brit
ain and France for a foreign min
isters’ conference on Germany at
Lugano, Switzerland, Oct. 15. He
insisted, however, that the con
ference deal primarily with set
ting up free elections throughout
East and West Germany — a view
which the Soviet Union has pre
viously rejected.
