In intensive secret negotiations
with labor leaders and war vet

The chance that the strike may

order would be a victory for its
side.
Labor Saving Face
Government spokesman, jubi'

strike order depended on the labor
leaders working out some "face-

A source close to Leon Jouhaux,
secretary general of the labor fed

the strike to be called off at the
last moment because, he believes,
the federation has already gained
what it expected to get by the
strike, and does not wish to dis

Meantime, the premier, moving
forward grimly on two fronts, took
drastic action to crush the strike

HOUSING plan
4 Projects Get OK.
OF President
By EARL GOODWIN

Washington's low cost housing
program actually starts today with
approval by the President Of four
vast housing projects costing ST.
$4,000 and providing low cost up
to-date sanitary homes for ap-
proximately 1850 families. The
plans were sent to President
Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga,
by United States Housing Admin
istrator Nathan Straus yesterday.
The four approved projects are
only a part of the entire pro-
posed 15-million-dollar program.
50 Rent Per Room
Rents are expected to average
around 81 a room monthly plus
extra charges for heat. gas or cleo
tricity.
BY law the tenants must be
selected from families with in
comes not more than five times
the rent charged. The current plan
is to open these new homes to
Washington families with incomes
of less than $1,100 annually. No
mention is made Of it in any of
the official papers which have
been approved today, but it is IN
derstood two of the projects will
be for white and two for colored.
Sites Not Picked
The four sites have not yet
been made public, but are believed
to be divided. Two in crowded
city sections, two in outlying
suburbs, out of all the single-fare
zones. The sites will be made pub
lie possibly today by John Ihlder,
executive secretary, Alley Dwell

F. D. R. MESSAGE
ON JEWS TODAY
BY GEORGE DURNO

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 20
G.N.S0.-The world waited today
to ascertain what move President
Roosevelt plans to make, if any,
to emphasize further the United
States opposition to racial and re-
ligious persecution abroad.
This afternoon the Chief Execu-
tive was holding a press confer
ence, from which viii. develop any
new approach he may have in
mind to his repeated protests
against Nazi Germany's treatment
of minorities.
LITTLE TO SAY
In advance of this press confer
ence (and there were indications
the President might have little to
say) only one factor stood out.
The Washington Administration
apparently does not look upon
Fascist Italy'S gestures against the
Jews and Catholics as seriously as
it does those of Chancellor Hitler's
regime.

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE OF
MISS PUSEY'S MARRIAGE

Mr. and Mrs. Curtis C. Pusey, of
Pocomoke, announce the marriage of
their daughter, Margaret Louise, to
Frank A. Anderson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alexander Anderson, of Sails
bury, Md. The couple were married
by Rev. H. S. Johnson, of Seaford,
Del, Tuesday, June z, at 6 P. M.
Immediately following the cere-
mony the couple were given a party
at the Sussex Hotel Grill. They left
Wednesday morning for brief hon
eymoon at Atlantic City. After June
Is, they will reside at their home on
North Division Street, in Salisbury.
Mr.. Anderson is we'll known in Sal
isbury, where his father is a member
of the firm of Anderson and Bosnian.

fourths of an inch in diameter, appear
ing on the leaf with a white mold on
the bottom side of the leaf. In few
days time under wet conditions this
disease will spread so that the patches
look like fire has gone through them.
If the whole plant turns black and
willis down, growers should dig them
at once, as rain will wash down the
spores into the tubers, causing the
tubers to rot.
This disease cannot be remedied
but can be prevented if a bordeaux
spray or dust preferably dry is ap-
piled at the rate of 4 pounds copper
sulphate, 6 pounds hydrated spray
lime to so gallons of water. Care
should be used to mix the copper sui
plate separately in wooden or earth
enware containers. Do not use metal
containers. After the lime and cop
per sulphate have been dissolved sep
arately, pour them together and stir
we'll.
If you desire to spray for bugs at
the same time, add 2 pounds calcium
arsenate to SO gallons of water. For
best results a three nozzle sprayer
with $50 to $50 pounds pressure
should be used. However, a one bar
rel sprayer will help to some extent.
100000 copper dust can also be
used for busters. Dust should be ap-
piled when the plants are damp with
dew.
Many of the bean fields have also
been blighted due to weather condi-
tons. DR.. R. A. Jehle, Plant Patho-
logist and the County Agent have
checked up on number of fields and
find that this condition is increasing
rapidly. Some of the growers have
had to pillow up their beans. The di-
sease is carried in the seed and will
increase rapidly under cool and damp
weather conditions. The source of
seed should be checked and only seed
being blight free should be used.
There is nothing that can be done to
control the progress of this disease
as it is a virus disease inside the
plant itself.

site diseases of young chickens.
r, T. Grant, County Agent, says
that many treatments have been tried
and advocated for curing coccidiosis,
but the opinion of poultry investiga-
tors is that none of these treatments
is uniformly effective. The best way
to fight this disease is to practice
rigid sanitary measures and thus pre-
vent it's getting a start in the flock.
Daily cleaning and disinfection of the
brooder house and poultry yards are
effective in preventing spread of the
acute type of the disease.
A well-balanced diet which is sup
plemented by a generous amount of
green food is important for building
up the young birds general resistance
to coccidiosis. Feeding mash contain
ing 40 per cent dried skim milk or
buttermilk has been effective in pro-
tecting young chicks from Infection.
The results from the use of milk have
not been entirely consistent, so it can
not be recommended as a cure for this
disease.
The disease is easily recognized
by such symptoms as ruffled feathers,
pallor, rapidly losing weight and
bloody droppings, and is spread by
contamination of the feed, water, and
soil with droppings of fowls which
harbor the parasites. The parasite
may be carried by water, or on shoes,
grain sacks or other objects.
