McKay's record at the Interior Department isn't exactlv going un noticed in Democratic strategy cir cles where Morse's campaign is being plotted. Relax while you can it's going to be a noisy autumn. Fluorescent Lighting Gains In Home Usage Present-day fashions in interior decoration and design owe much of their eye-appeal to fluorescent lighting. The influence of fluores cent lighting on home fashions is found from the living vroom to the kitchen and is doubly dramatic when carefully combined with tra ditional incandescent home lighting.- ' J Colorful draperies, and wall areas remain a center of interest at night by concealing fluorescent1 tubes behind window valances andl cornices "or in coves. A well-de-! signed fireplace gains attention! from a fluorescent installation un-. dcr the mantel. A similar treat-1 ment in book-cases, wall shelves and cabinets highlights book-bindings, cherished accessories and-Sunday-best china and glassware. New colors and new shapes now i highlight the fluorescent lamps for home decor. Both fluorescent and incan descent types of light source make a ueiinue coniriDuuon to nome lighting; today a pleasing combi nation of the two is found in most living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms and only kitchens, bath rooms and utility rooms, for the most part, have gone 100 per cent fluorescent. Neuberger Tries Pelton Blockade In Amendment WASHINGTON ilfi - A new attempt to halt construction of the controversial Pelton. Dam on the Deschutes River in Central Ore gon was begun Monday by Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore). He introduced an amendment in the Senate which he said would block construction of Pelton Dam by Portland General Electric Co. and a Snake River dam under construction by Idaho Power Co. Neuberger's amendment was to a bill by Sen. Barrett (R-Wyo) to reauire federal .agencies to ob serve stale water laws. The bill is before the Senate Interior Com mittee. Neuberger's proposal would suspend Federal Power Commission licenses for dam con struction where licensees have failed to comply with state law. It would apply. Neuberger said to any project where construction has not reaenca a state oi com pletion which effects the impound in? or diversion of the river water. It would be effective until the licensee is determined by the FPC to have obeyed the state law Neuberger said his amendment was aimed at the FPC license granted Portland General Electric for construction of Pelton. Oregon stale agencies did not license the dam and Ally. Robert Y. Thornton has said in1 opinions that state law has been violated. The dispute led to litigation which eventually went before the U.S. Supreme Court. The court up held the authority of the power commission to issue tne license. Neuberger said his amendment also would apply to the Hells Canyon case, in which Idaho Power has received a federal license to build dams on the Snake River. Construction has begun on one of them. The dams would be between Oregon and Idaho, and Oregon agencies have not authorized them. DoufE McKav must have had hunch he might be leaving his cabinet post in a hurry, for last summer he took the precaution of having his portrait painted for posterity long before it could be used. Bv custom, the nnrtraitu nf pah. met officers are hung in the re ception areas of their offices but not until after the cnhinAt mem ber has left his post. So every day wnen Aicnay came to work he was greeted by the oil paintings of his Democratic nredecessors. Oscar Chapman, Julius Krug and Harold icxes. Last vear McKav sat for his Dor- trait, which was done by a New York artist, Charles Fox, When he suddenly quit his job to run for the Senate in Oregon this spring, his secretarial staff only needed to get it out and hang it in the gallery. Now as Fred Seaton goes to work as the new secretary, he is greet ed by McKay first, then the Dem ocratic lineup of Chapman, Krug and Ickes.

The congressmen were receiving protests by the basketload. as though the question were for them to decide. For some weeks, Rep.

Edith Green had a double interest in the outcome of the Cal ifornia election this past week, for she was not onlv rooting for Adlai Stevenson but was packing a lady Democrat much like herself for county commissioner in San Mateo County.

In Certain Jobs - WASHINGTON Iffl The Su preme Court ruled 6-3 Monday the Eisenhower administration's feder al employe security, program does not apply to persons holding non sensitive and non-policyinaking jobs. Justice Harlan wrote the ma jority decision for himself, Chief Justice Warren and Justices Black, Frankfurter, Douglas and Burton. Justice Clark wrote a sharp dis senting opinion, joined by Justices Reed and Minton. Harlan said the term "national security" as used in a 1950 con gressional act giving heads of cer tain departments dismissal pow ers over civilian employes' "re lates only to those activities which are directly concerned with the nation's safety, as distinguished from the general welfare." Clark's dissenting opinion said "the court would require not only a finding that a particular per son is subversive but also that he occupies a sensitive job." "Obviously," Clark protested, "this might leave the government honeycombed with subversive em ployes. Ruling Answers Challenge The security program was chal lenged by Kendrick M. Cole, a former inspector in the New York district of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. He was fired on security grounds in January, 1954. Harlan said in Cole s case no determination- actually had been made that his job was affected with the national security as that term was used n the 1950 act. Harlan said Cole's dismissal there fore was not authorized Lower federal courts here up held the firing. The government said the charges against Cole "do not imply any knowing acts of dis loyalty on his part." He was fired after refusing to offer any explanation regarding associations carried on in his pri vate life and because he told his superiors he would "continue to associate with any persons or groups of persons" he saw fit to choose.

Good Cere Of Plumbing System Is Economy Factor In Home Examination of the plumbing sys tem in your home may mean a considerable savings in water and fuel bills during the .cold weather ahead. Leaky faucets and shower heads as well as improperly working toilets can be more expensive than the cost of their repair. Besides wasting water and fuel, leaks can damage the fixtures, The Plumbing Fixture manuiac turers' Association says that steadily dripping water can cause rust spots and mineral stains on high-gloss enameled fixtures. Ordinarily, water drips are caused by worn washers which are inexpensive to replace and easy to repair. Toilets with constantly run ning water may be more difficult to fix but far more wasteful. Immediate repair or replace ment of such plumbing equipment may save you money and head aches. Also, water drips and poorly operating toilets may forecast more serious plumbing problems. Prompt attention to plumbing needs will make a more comfort able and more efficient bathroom. r&cn V f xA cv. f i- NtA Ttliphole SPURS DEMOCRATIC HOPES Adlai Stevenson is all smiles as he gives a victory wave to supporters at his headquarters in Los Angeles.
