Whitman Question: My new plastic table* cloth has made the ends of the breakfast table sticky. How can this be removed from a varnished birch finish and not ruin the fin ish? Answer: Try wiping the sticky places very lightly with benzine, being careful not to press hard on the finish. Be careful of fire, and close the door leading to the kitch en. If the table is in the kitchen, do not work there. If the benzine dulls the finish, apply a thin coat of paste wax, let it dry and then polish with a soft cloth. Question: Can anything be done to stop the radio interference caused by our oil furnace? Some say to ground the furnace. Our furnace is on the main floor as we have no basement. Answer: Radio interference from oil burners, motors and other elec trical equipment can be eliminat ed, but this calls for the service of an expert electrician or radio serv iceman. The manufacturer of your oil burner might be able to take care of the nuisance.

The commission was. In every sense, strictly nonpartisan. It con sisted of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, both In and out of the government. It was named by President Truman, the speaker of the house of repre sentatives, and the president of the senate. Each named an equal num ber of both the major political par ties. The then speaker, Joe Martin, named former President Herbert Hoover as a member of the com mission, and, at the suggestion of President Truman, Mr, Hoover was selected as chairman of the group. Partisan politic« had no place or part In the «election of the romml««lon members, nor In It« months of deliberation, «tudy of conditions, nor Its fi nal recommendations. The one —and only—purpose of all members was to untangle the badly-tangled departments, bu reau«, administrations, a n d what have you, that had been a growth of many years. In fewer word«, the purpose was to provide a better administra tion of government, and reduce the cost.
