Folks - Housecleaning Season’s Here!
You see a crocus . . . you
sniff the breeze—and Am
bition has you in its grip’
But don’t go, full tilt, at
your Spring housecleaning
Take it easy. Take ad
vantage of materials and
methods that save time and
effort, advises Winifred S
Carter, Director of Procter
& Gamble’s Household In
formation Service. She
says to rub cream into
your hands — around the
nails, especially — before,
you start scrubbing, and
to bind up your hair before
you start dusting. It’s wise
to have an apron bristling
with big pockets, for
brushes, hammer, dust
cloth, etc. Do test the step
ladder for steadiness, and
wear low heels when you
climb. But most of all,
check your supply of clean
ing materials, before the
frenzy seizes you.
Linoleum Sparkles
When Clean.
Have you been thinking the woodwork,
or even the house needs painting and
shuddering at the cost? If so, are you
dead sure it needs -it? Mrs. Carter sug
gests washing a small corner with Spic
and Span. You may find that painting
isn't necessary this year. But whatever
your specific cleaning chores, remember
that doing things the hard way often
isn’t the best way. So take it easy. Sched
ule your duties. Let everybody help. And
first thing you know every nook and
cranny will be spotless and you’ll be
chipper as a robin.

President Believes
Military Will Back
Proposed Budget
WASHINGTON, W)— President
Eisenhower at the news confer
ence in which he replied with a
negative to a question whether he
agreed with Taft’s view, also:
1. Declared he is thoroughly
convinced that the rtfilitary high
command in general believes the
proposed defense budget is the
best answer for this country at
this moment.
(There has been sharp criticism
in Congress of cuts in military
spending.)
2. Said he is opposed to admit
ting Red China to the U.N.
3. Said international trade is a
great influence in the hands off
diplomats, and certain kinds of
East-West trade, in his opinion,
should continue.
The President said this country
would be foolish to refuse to trade
at all with people we do not hap
pen to* like at the moment.
4 Said his mail shows no sign
of a growth of isolationism in the
U.S. On the contrary, he added,
the great mass of the people ob
viously believe there is no safety
in one country’s going it alone.

Semyenov Named
E. Germany Chief
BERLIN, UP — Russia took its
control over East Germany out of
the hands of the military Thurs
day. It could mean withdrawal of
troops, eventually.
The announcemnt said the So
viet control commission is abol
ished, Gen. Vassily I. Chuikov
will handle only troops hence
forth, and Vladimir Semyenov re
turns to Berlin as “Supreme Com
missar” for the Soviet Union.
Semyenov thus become civilian
boss of affairs of 18 million East
Germans. He served here before
as political adviser to Chuikov.
The selection o'f Semyenov to
be top man in East Germany is in
some respects an imitation of the
Western powers who have chosen
“ambassadors” to West Germany.
The Russian action was regard
ed in Allied and German quarters
here as matching that of the West.
It could mean that Moscow is
convinced the European treaties
will be ratified by all, including
reluctant France, and therefore
it must be ready to recognize the
Russian zone of Germany as an
autonomous state, too.
FRIDAY
SEOUL, UP—The Chinese Reds
sent 4,500 troops smashing into
western outposts near Panmun
jom Thursday night after 6,500
Communists seized five hills in
central Korea.
In one of the biggest attacks of
the year the Reds struck behind
thunderous artillery fire in the
west, hitting outposts Vegas, Car
son, Elko, East Berlin, Berlin and
the Hook.
The Hook and Vegas, two of the
most bitterly fought-over hills in
the west, took the brunt of the
Chinese attack and apparently
held firm.
The chief P.ed threat against
the main positions were repulsed
in fierce hand-to-hand fighting.
