SLIPPERY EATING — with spectators urging them, Gerhard Heinrich (left) and Jonny

I Love My Doctor.f)
THE STORY: We have found an
apartment, suitable and reason
able for Jokn to use in starting his
medieal practice. But, like a wo
man, I want to “fix it up.” With
out previous experience or knowl
edge, except from magazine arti
cles on home decoration, I started
out myself to paint it. John came
home and found me in a mess of
paint, and helped me finish one
room.
- % *
VI l
The next morning, Wednesday, 1
tackled the bedroom: pale blue. ’
On Thursday morning I was
ready for the foyer. Mr. Schmitt,
whose practical advice I had come
to respect much more than the
lyrieal descriptions of the maga—]
zines had suggested that I paint
the outer paneling first,’so as not’
to soil the wallpaper after it was |
on.
Obediently, I dug up my rose'
pigment and mixed, sitting over
the paint with the same intensity
that Macheth’s three witches used
in stirring their famous brew.
When John arrived, again at 6,
the outer paneling was all doge,
and I greeted him cheerfully with:
“Now we'’re all set to paper the
rest.
John was unimpressed. “I don't
know how to paper a room.”
“Neither do 1,” 1 answered, “but
it tells how here.”
I found a chapter in a book, and
I proceeded to read aloud.
“You mean,” asked John, ‘“that
you expect to read it just like that,
and do it?”
“Of course,” I said. “First we
have to make the paste.”
So we made the paste.
“Does it talk about lumps in the
book?” he asked.
“Nope,” I said after a hurried
perusal, “but Mr. Schmitt did.”
“What did he say,” John spoke
anxiously. 1
“To watch out for them,” I re
plied. “But maybe it doesn’t mat
ter much.” |
Step No. 2 was cutting the paper.
Since we had no table, we cut the
long strips on the floor, which was
uncomfortable, at best, and inac
currate, at worst.
* * *
It was 2 a. m. when we hung the
last strip, and turned with hungry
eyes to survey our kingdom.
True, the paste showed through
quite lumpy from underneath, but
not unbearably so to our preju
diced eyes. True, we had forgot
ten to match the designs on the
different pieces each to each, but
even there we were fortunate in
having chosen a pattern i which
this didn’t seem to be of great
consequence. ‘What difference
would it make, and why should

anyone care if occasionally the la
dy in the print was to be seen
holding a house instead of a bunch
of flowers? And yet something
was undeniably wrong.
“It's the color of the paint!” we
both exclaimed simultaneously.
The rose I had painted in the outer
panels was much too purple a color
for the paper, and the result was
hideous.
“Oh, John,” I nearly wept “and
after all my work today too”
“You’ll have to do it over to
morrow,” he said.
Silently, wearily we washed up
in Freda’s turpentine, and just be
fore switching off the lights prior
to our departure, John delivered
his daily commentary:
“But, darling’ his tired voice
uttered, “is all of this really neces
sary?”
On Friday, I carefully redid the
foyer walls, and although I would
have defied any decorator to ac
curately label the final shade, even
John, when he arrived in the early
evening, had to admit that the
general effect was lovely.
“And now,” I began in that
bright, cheerful “This will hardly
hurt” doctor tone of voice, “you
make the bookshelves, I paint
them white to mateh the wood
work and we’re all through.”
He prepared to start the book
shelves. These, all things consid
ered, went comparatively fast for
here, to quote John, we were deal
ing with an “expert.”
Considering that this was my
first experience with the mascu
line ego, I think T behaved very
well. A man will stubbornly re
fuse' for weeks to participate in
any practical domestic work, but
once the mountain is moved and
action attained, he will boast for
vears about the sacred objects of
his craftsmanship. The -curtain
rod he hung is forever removed
from the realm es all ordinary cur
tain rods; the doorstop he has
painfully made is rightly a master
piece belonging in the Museum of
Modern Art.
With instinctive tact, I oh’d and
ah’d, never even for a moment
complaining when the shelves
turned out to be about eight inches
too high for the convential book
length. Instead, we got some
pasteboard molding from Freda’s
husband, and happily hammered it
in over the top of each shelf, so
that it hung down like a wooden
canopy and thus lowered the un
gainly height.
‘Very distinctive,” John said,
sucking a sore thumb.
“Very,” I agreed. It was like no
other bookshelves I had ever seen.
Everything looked beautiful then.

brush was put away.

What It Means:
Strategy Of
Alaskan Defense
By CLARKE BEACH
WASHINGTON-—Military plan
ners intend to have 24,000 Army
and Air Force troops in Alaska by
June 30, 1952, They believe that
will be ample defense for the ter
ritory. They agree with Gov. Ern~-
est Gruening of Alaska that the
present force of 7,500 men there is
“next to nothing.” But they differ
with some officials who have urged
that very heavy forces be placed
in the territory. Large masses of
fighting men could not be used
there, they say, either by attack
ers or defenders. They could not
be provided in the field with the
vast amount of supplies and equip
ment needed for modern warfare.
There is only cne railroad of
any length, the narrow guage one
from Anchorage to Fairbanks,
single-track most of the way.
Highways are few and inadequate.
None of them, includigg the new
2,000-mile Alaska (formerly Al
can) Highway, that stretches from
central Canada into the heart of
Alaska, has a hard surface. The
long, deep winter freeze in the
Arctic would wreck any surface
but 18-inch reinforced concrete.
The roads are best in winter, when
they are” frozen and the bridges
are intact. Bridges often are
washed awa yin the spring floods
—and 177 bridges cross major riv
ers on the Alaska Highway alone.
; “Tractor Equipment
A limited amount of extra-wide
track tractor equipment can be
moved across country, but it would
confront snow as deep as 50 feet in
some of the passes in winter—and
the tundra becomes muck in
the summer, when the ice melts
above the permafrost. Tank trucks
and other wheeled vehicles could
run only on highways.
The program by mid-1952—as
soon as housing and support facil
ities can be provided—is to garri
son each of the two large interior
airfields near Fairbanks with 2.000
Air Force and Army troops. They
are Ladd and Eilson fields, about
40 miles apart. Heavy stockpiles
of oil, ammunition and other mili«
tary needs will be laid in. Then
the remaining 20,000 men wii! be
stationed near Anchorage, at the
Army’s Fort Richardson base and
the Air Force'’s Elmendorf Field.
In case of attack on the interior
air fields, men from Anchorage
could be flown in. If more help
were needed, reinforcements from
the states could be brought up by
air. It would, theoretically, take
6,000 men to defeat 2,000 holding
strongly fortified positions. To
land 6,000 men in the tundra
around the fields and keep them
supplied with equipment by air,
while undér aerial attack from
}he fields, would be a collossal
eat.
The Alaska strategy centers on
the three big airfields. As long as
they are held firmly Alaska will
be safe, the military thinkers be
lieve. A successful amphibious
landing on the Alaskan coast will
be impossible as long as the U S.
Navy maintains its present world
supremacy, in the opinion of the
Army men.
The strategists acknowledge that
the territory could be seized now

with comparative case. To them,
however, it doesn’t seem so attrac
tive an objective as some officials
have claimed. It could not be
used as the starting point for a
large-scale attack ‘on the interior
of the continent by mass armies,
because of the suppiy difficulty.
The Russians, for example,
couldn’t load their ships at any
closer port than Vladivostok. And
that 3,900-mile communication line
would be far more than the Rus
sian merchant marine or Navy
could maintain at this time.

CINDER TRACK WARNS
PIRATE OUTFIELDERS
PITTSBURGH— (AP) —Pitts
burgh Pirate fans who live near
Forbes Field have got their curi
osity aroused., Jack Fogarty and
his groundkeeping aides are build
ing a graded cinder path on the
outer stretches of the playing field.
The cinder track is not heing
built for foot races. It’s the latest
in “safety first” ideas for ball
parks. It will be a warning to ex
cited ballplayers who forget where
they’re going while galloping to
make a catch. Groundkeeper Fo
garty explains:
“In most places the track will
be approximately 20 feet wide.
When a runner’s spikes hit the
cinders he’ll know it’s time to put
on the brakes.” ;
Pirate officials hope the track
will eliminate the sad spectacle
of valuable ballplayers gazing
skyward and running full tilt into
the concrete walls at the end of
right and center field.
Yankee Stadium officials also
built a cinder track following
Tommy Henrich’s crash into the
right field wall last season.
