I don't want to damage the ANSWER: Get special decal remover blotting paper, available at most stores where decals are sold. Follow label directions. Var- nish must be removed first (use prepared paint remover). An elec- tric sander is quickest of all. ALUMINUM PAINTING QUESTION: We have one layer of wallpaper on our plaster walls. | We want to paint the outside walls with aluminum paint as a moisture barrier. If put over wall- paper, will it be effective? ANSWER: Wallpaper should be removed beiore applying the aluminum paint. Otherwise the moisture will probably affect the can be used. If it is roof shingles which are to be colored, a pre- servative is advisable, If you wish a dark color, the following can be made: 4 gallons of raw linseed oil, 2 gallons of coal-tar creosote oil, and 1 gallon of japan drier. This gives a medium brown col- or, which can be tinted with color ground in oil, mixed with linseed oil to the consistency of paint; 2 gallons for the foregoing quan- tity of stain, If the color you re- quire is a lighter one, linseed ofl added to your paint can be used, but will not be as lasting. this point, A friend suggested digging entire area deeper to al- low standing room and then cov- ing with concrete. Is this feasible and preferable to dirt floor? ANSWER: Main problem is be- ing sure dampness and moisture is prevented from entering house through floor. A dirt floor under a house requires a moisture and vaporproof covering.

Referring to some of McKen- nan's statements he said that he cannot be accused '"'of looking at the communists through rose col- ored glasses", no matter what else his critics say about him." He sald that McKennan's plan comes to grips with current real- itles more than a policy of mili- tary containment "which seems to be our sole policy in Europe ay". In quoting McKennan he sald that we overrate the likelihood of a Soviet effort to invade West- ern Europe; 'on an exaggera- tion of the value of satellite arm-| jes as possible instruments of a Soviet offensive policy' and the failure of the west to take into the bulge is worse than ever.

STAINED PATIO QUESTION: We have a ce- ment patio, 20 x 30, During the rainy season, matted leaves and drippings from the tree discolor- the cement, We have used cleaners without success. Can you give us any help? ANSWER: Try scrubbing the patio with a strong solution of trisodium phosphate or washing soda, using 2 pounds to the gal- long of water. Then flush well with clear water. If stains per-| sist, make paste of dry portland cement and noninflammable cleaning fluid and apply thick] layer over stains. Cover with sheet of metal, glass or canvas, to retard evaporation. As paste becomes dry replace with fresh. BASEMENTLESS HOUSE QUESTION: We recently mov- ed into a basementless house. The crawl space is reached by lifting a square cut into utility room floor, then lowering a ladder and crouching until furnace is reach- ed. Furnace is on a concrete foundation and one can stand at account that the Soviets already possess an intercontinental ballis- tic missile which will be opera- tional in the summer of 1958; and "on serious under estimation of advantage gained" for the Western security by a withdrawal from Europe by Soviet forces. With regard to Acheson's criti- cism that a withdrawal by NATO ground forces would place de- fence of Western Europe solely on threat of nuclear retaliation, |he said that even the U.S. State {Department admits that Russia could defeat America in a con- ventional war comparing "our' 28 divisions stationed in Europe and the 150 Soviet divisions. Dulles' advocation of missile bases in Europe, he said, would make any withdrawal by Russia from Europe 'unthinkable once and for all". al problems as a milit one rather than ideologically, he de- clared. "A fortress diplomacy", be termed the nt build wp of military might in Europe and throughout ths world "which bears, a regrettable resemblance to the Maginot line approach of the 1930's". He warned that the Soviet by pass the west political-| ly and economically in the future just as "Hitler by-passed us geo- aphieally in 1940." e greater danger, he said, lies in the west's undivided at- tention to external military af- fairs while ignoring "the corner- stone of our civilization", faith in democracy and the dignity of man. i At no other time in bis- tory have international relations| been more tangled than they are| today, he exclaimed, this plus the fact that both the US and the USSR possess nuclear might] could literally "prejudice the fu- ture of mankind". He said that when suggestions are made to ease world tension that 'we are guilty of a certain inflexibility of mind" by not taking notice of them.
