Governor Denies He
Wanted to Prevent
Filing of Petitions

you call the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone company"
@. How can we obtain any infor-
nation there? Did your men attempt
to cut the wires and meet opposition
by telephone men? Did the COVER
nor call the telephone people and ask
them to shut off connections to the
secretary's office?
A. I don't know.
Q. Shall I call Frank Waldo Cman-
ager of Northwestern BelD? Can't
you give me lead? Just what in
formation can I get there?
A. (Silence).
Here the interview ended
Admits Talk About Wires
A telephone call to Waldo's resi-
dence revealed that the manager was
out of the city but another official
Of the telephone company, admitted
that his firm Thursday had CONVEX
sation with some parties In regard
to cutting of wires leading to the Sec
rotary of states office.
He declined to comment further
on the details saying "the company
does not care to become involved In
this situation.
Later The Tribune learned def
nitely that the Northwestern Bell
Telephone company had been ordered
to disconnect service to the secretary
Of states office; that 1t refused to
do SO, and that nothing further was
done about the matter.
Earlier, Major Harold Sorenson, as
sistant to the adjutant general, told
the Tribune that instructions to the
guards were to prevent any packages
documents or papers from being de-
livered to the secretary of states Of
flee.
Governor LANCER told the Associat-
ed Press that guardsmen were sta
toned at the offices of the secretary
of state, state treasurer, district court
judge, and his own office as a pre-
caution against bodily harm after he
had received anonymous threatening
letters.
1.-THE guards were used to protect
life and property, and an intimiatior
that they were used to prevent filing
of referendum petitions is ridiculous
Il have ordered the guardsmen tx
also watch the homes Of the person!
threatened because I felt 1t my duty
to protect them"
The governor said he was "fulll
aware" that the petitions could bt
filed up to midnight and pointed *
the withdrawal Of the Nationa
Guardsmen from the state offices a
5 p. m. Thursday. II am also awar'
that the petitions could be sen
through the mails II they bore TO-
days postmark and accepted by TIN
secretary of state" he said.
People Entitled to It
1T the people want to refer an,
law passed by the legislature that |
their privilege and they are entitle,
to it. Since the law gives the peopl
the right to refer legislative acts,
am in favor of seeing that petition
properly filed go on the ballot SO tn
people may vote on it,"
Botl1~ John G. Spare, Nationa
Guard sergeant, and Major Sorensol
denied that Spare walked off tn
scene at the entrance to the secre
tary Of states office after the guards
men stopped a special delivery mai
carrier, as reported late Thursday.
Spare said he was on uaison dut.
and had no connection with tn,
| guard detail.
Sorenson verified this statement
saying he was in charge of the de
tail, not Spare. Brocopp also was OF
the scene.

Mrs. Roosevelt Talks
To Graduating Class

Washington, June 2.-R)-To a
graduating class Thursday night Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt told q story
about man who lived for many years
across Lafayette Square from the
white house: The noted Henry Adams.
II was with him one day when a
young man said to Henry Adams he
felt something was going wrong with
the government but nothing could be
done because nobody seemed to care. .
said Mrs. Roosevelt.
"And Adams answered, young man,
don't get excited. I've watched people
come into the white house and I've
watched them 60 from the white
house. Really what they do there
doesn't matter a great DEAL"
Mrs. Roosevelt added that what
Adams was getting at was that the
thing that mattered was the individ-
uals attitude toward the government
since no one individual In the white
house could do much alone.

Rapid growth Of the new spring

offset to initiation talk was q state
ment from q trade authority that in
stead of commodity advances being o:
an inflationary character they had 50

fidence in the bank situation.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat

The Garden
DEPART

Edited by Ferdinand ]. Wiener Of
the Wiener Nursery.
One Of the greatest obstacles to
success in gardening for many is
loose planting. Do not be afraid to
firm the soil. Very small seeds, like
many flowers and some vegetables
often do not terminate at all, or
weakly at best, if merely covered
with loose soil. To press the sur
face over the seeds has the effect
of bringing the moisture up to the
surface from below, which insures
greater chances of termination.
As a plant grows, whether a tiny
Seeding or good sized tree, ma
ture maintains certain balance
between the development of the
top and the root system below. In
transplanting, a large part of the
root system is often sacrificed and
therefore it is advisable to cut or
prune back the top so that the de-
mands made upon the root system
for plant food and moisture will
not be greater than it can supply
until the roots become established
No plants can grow without mois-
ture. Established plants can with
stand a surprising amount Of
drought, but with newly set plants,
this is not the case. An abund-
ance of moisture is necessary, not
merely at the time Of painting, but
for a long period afterward, to en-
able the root system to become
thoroughly established.
Often, especially on hot, dry, or
warm weather, watering is best
done real early in the morning, or
in the evening at sunset, because
the difference in temperature of the
water and soil is not so great. This
difference if great often means
death to a plant.
Small plants or shrubs are bene-
flied, if after setting out, if they
can be shaded somewhat from the
sun, if planted in such a situation
where the heat is intense. Many
plants that are somewhat slow to
start, suffer from the heat and
glare, and this often means poor
beginning for the first summer. OF
course such shrubs that start quick
ly do not need any protection.
