Central Press Washington Writer LV / ASHTN’CTON'—At first glance, one would think that leaderW 4iip of either party group in the Senate would be a political asset to the incumbent. However, the opposite has ofttimea

proved to be the case.

A few years back. Sen. William Knowiand of California gained a national reputation in his role as Senate Republican leader. His opposite number, Sen. Scott W. Lucas of Illinois W'as the much-

quoted Democratic leader.

Knowiand dropped into political oblivion when his long-range plan to seek the presidency via the California governor’s chair was short circuited. Lucas was defeated in his bid for re-election to the Senate. Of course, the late Alb*n Barkley disproved the rule. He served, as Senate Democrati* leader for many years during the Roosevelt and Truman eras and was far and away the most popular and well-known figure in his

native State of Kentucky.

The present Senate majority leader is Mike Mansfield of Montana. And his Republican foes out there are trying to find a strong per-

son to run against him when he is scheduled to seek re-election

next year.

• PARTY STUFF—74-year-old Sen Stephen M. Young of Ohio complains that if a legislator accepted all the social invitations he receives, he’d have no time for work. Yoimg points out that: 1— There are more than 100 embassies in Washington, each of them giving about two receptions a year. 2— There are 262 national associations headquartered here, each of which has at least one annual affair, plus innumerable conferences, gatherings and requests for meetings with the elected men on Capitol Hill. 3— There’s a new practice of corraling legislators by inviting them to group breakfasts, which usually start about 8;30 a.m., or earlier, and run on into mid-morning. Young’s solution is to reject more than three-quarters of the Invitations he receives, in order to keep current with his work, spend some time with his family, and look at an occasional television western. The Ohio senator plans to seek re-election next year. Apparently the drawbacks of official Washington life aren’t great enough to persuade Young to give it all up and retire to the bucolic pleasures of beautiful Ohio. • • • • • AH. WILDERNESS—There’s a bright young girl in a Hillsboro, 111., Junior High School who has gotten a good school mark, and probably is headed for many more. She wrote a letter to Sen. Jenry Jackson, of Washington, expressing her love for the wilderness, but complaining of crowded conditions in national preserves and urging that Congress establish more of them. Jackson is the author of a bill to do this very thing that has already passed the Senate. The girl, in a P.S. explained that if the senator answered her letter she’d get a good mark in school, but not if he d*dn’t answer. Replied Jackson: *T am a candidate for reelection in Washington state next year. If you A-Plu* For can persuade friends out there that supporting wilderness is commendable, I might get their Student, Votes.” Senator? Jackson went on to declare that the yoimg lady should get an A-plus for her letter, and she probably did. Jackson merits an A-plus for his ability to make political capital in Washington state out of a letter from a non-voting, non-coa-etiutent from Illinois.

Buy 1 louse With High Resale Value Experienced home buyers think about selling a new house even before they buy it. I his makes good sense since the average home owner moves approximately every ten years. _ prime factors in assuring good resale value are quality building materials. Other points include floor plan, number of bedrooms, location, schools, and improveaicnts made by the owners. A. M. Watkins, in his boolc, “Building or Buying tho HighQuality House at Lowest Co.-U’' points out that the use of quality materials adds only five to seven per cent to total construction costs. When added to the mortgage payments on an average $20,000 house, the increased cost is only about $7 a month, he estimates. X L Label Important A roof of UL-labeled asphalt shingles is one quality item to look for in a new house. Other asphalt shingles may look the came, but only those approved by the Underwriters’ Laboratories have been tested by UL technicians for fire resistance and performance. The FIIA requires that asphalt shingles have the L’L* label. Wood doors and windows are another mark of quality. Because wood is an effective insulating material, wood windows help keep heating costs down while adding to comfort. They also are attractive and easy to decorate. Doors and windows of durable ponderosa pine are available in many stock styles and sizes at local building supply dealers. Insulation Adds Value Thorough insulation, another factor that contributes to the value of a house, is one of the most practical investments a home owner can make. Any extra expense for insulating a house to meet standards recommended by the National Mineral Wool Insulation Association, rather than minimum standards, is quickly returned in lower heating and cooling bills and in greater ysar* round comfort. Another feature that attract! buyers to a house is a modern^ all-electric kitchen. A well* planned kitchen is a strong resale factor when it is equipped With an automatically controlled electric range, a large-capaeitj electric refrigerator-freezer that needs no defrosting, and a built 111 dUClUC dilliVAiblT.

truck drivers or hairdressers? newlyweds or grandparents? city folks or farmers? Who buys more Savings Bonds ?

As statistical-minded as we are today, the Treasury Department can’t answer that question. The Treasury docs know that U. 5. Savings Bonds are owned by tens of millions of families. So it might be safe to assume that people in every walk of life belong to this “savings club.” This is a happy fact for the United States, and for the free peoples of the earth. For Savings Bond dollars are playing an important role today in the making of history. This ?-16 billion reserve in the government’s hands is working vigorously to-

day to neip our country in the major struggle to defend freedom. At the same time, Savings Bonds help build your personal purchasing power by paying good interest and providing a method of saving that’s unconditionally safe and readily cashable. And the higher your purchasing power, the better it speaks for our system. It all adds up to one of the best ways you can save money and at the same time help your country. Start buying Bonds next payday—through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work, or from any bank—and see if you don’t feel pretty good about it.
