Wallace Demands Four More Years Of New Deal Tells lowa Democrats Roosevelt Policies Must Be Continued By the Associated Press, DES MOINES, Iowa, May 11— Becretary of Agriculture Wallace de- clared here today that if the Presi- dent should make himself unavail- able for a third term, “the man who makes the race must stand for the Roosevelt New Deal.” Mr. Wallace in a prepared keynote address for his home State’s Demo- cratic convention asserted that Mr. Roosevelt has “proved himself to be a real friend of agriculture, labor and business.” Praises Roosevelt Foreign Policies. Referring to the spreading Euro- pean conflict, he added that “with the emergency as it is today, we should ‘hate to face the thought of glving up the services of such an outstanding leader who, we know, can lead us to victory. “No ‘man has available for the service of the Nation such a unique combination of qualities-as Franklin D. Roosevelt. No man so completely understands the twists and turns and tricks of European politics. No man is so familiar with the needs and methods of national defense. No man is more anxious to:keep this country out of war.” Raps G. O. P. Farm Proposals. Mr. Wallace condemned farm pro- posals made by the Republican party’s candidates, saying: “In the current campaign Taft, Dewey and Gannett have already shown how deep is their interest in winning the Iowa farmer and how {rimeuf. is their ignorance concerning Referring to Thomas E. Dewey’s farm address at Marshalltown, Iowa, a week ago today, Mr. Wallace said that while the New York district attorney “seems to favor the differ- ent parts of the farmers’ program, he is really making their program the object of a most vicious attack. He is following the example of most of his Republican rivals for the presidential nomination.” Prince Georges Area Shows Building Spurt Special Dispatch to The Star.

PARIS, May 11—Emmanuel Ce-| lestin Cardinal Suhard, hitherto Archbishop of Rheims, was named Archbishop of Paris today to suc- ceed Jean Cardinal Verdier, who died April 9. As Archbishop of Rheims, Cardi- nal Suhard distinguished himself for his pastoral letters. He was born at Brains-sur-Les- Marches May 4, 1874, the son of a family of farmers. He has studied both in France and in Rome and was ordained a priest in 1899, 78 Used Homes Sold The sale of 78 used homes since January 1 has been reported by Leo M. Bernstein & Co.

Marriage License BEDROOM IN SUMMER ATTIRE—Everything’s washable in this fresh summer treatment of an early American room. Very new is the colored ground of the spread, against which the white embroidered flowers and spaced candlewicking stand out cleanly. In the accompany home clinic, Ml.ss‘ Margaret Nowell explains the advantages of this type of room. The Home Clinic With Little Work, House Can Be Decorated to Reflect Coolness By MARGARET NOWELL. The things you can do yourself are most important in making your house cool for summer.. The light, colorful, washable fabrics that make your summer dresses are equally interesting as a background for you, in summer clothes for your house. Slip covers, ruffied bedspreads, sprigged muslin curtains at the windows are all part of the summer scene and yours for & song, when you ‘can‘ do it yourself. This summer the smart woman will it harmoniously into the color scheme she has chosen in fabrics to decorate her home. Curtains and bedspreads in her boudoir will blend with her negliges just as the gay chintz in the summer living room will repeat the soft pastel shades of her linen sport dresses or her cool summer slacks. The trend today of silks, satins, cretonnes, chintz and other materials homemakers find so useful for successful interior decora- tion is toward the favorite and fash- ionable hues dressmakers are using for this season’s gowns. The dusty rose, champagne, rose beige, powder green, sleeping blue, turquoise, coral and other pastel shades so fashionable now for dresses and hats are equally as lovely for the walls of your home, with floor covered in deep browns, or deep tones of these same colors for con- trast. Stripes—the season’s favor- ite for sport clothes—may be re- peated in glazed chintz for slip- covers, summer draperies and the like. If you find it necessary to hold to the dignified interior in spite of the warm weather you will find the ele- gance of Chinese Chippendale design and the dignity of regency in light- weight, soft-colored textiles that are equally as appropriate with antique furniture of the formal periods as damask and satin, though far more pleasing to live with this time of year. A sewing machine is as much a necessity of & modern house as an electric iron. Not only can you pur- chase a useful efficient machine but you may take a course in sewing that in several weeks will give you that professional touch that costs so much when you buy it, and besides saving you money will cgive your home the individual personal touch that cannot be purchased. If you d:x have & machine and are one of persons who has no interest in “sewing a fine seam” then you will be interested in the “summer washables” that you may purchase for your house to cool it off. You will find soft summer rugs of cotton, dressing table skirts and draperies to match; beds; to match, if you wish, or to blend into the color scheme. All of these planned ensembles are pre-shrunk, ‘washable and fast color and will give your house that “lettuce” look that no amount of heat and laundering will be able to wilt. These are among the things that you may do yourself to make your house your own and a background for yourself this summer—that light touch that turns summer into fun instead of an endurance contest.
