ALLIED FORCE HEADQUAR-
QUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA,
June Is (Delayed).-Uncle Sans
head cop" in North Africa is a
square -jawed former West Point
law professor and graduate Of
Georgetown University at Washing
ton, D. c., who believes the military
police today are better breed than
the men who kept the troops in line
in 1917-18, and will come out of this
war with banner reputation.
They are picked more for brains
than for Drawn and they know you
can do more with a man by reason
ing with him than by clubbing him" )"
said Brig. Gen. Joseph v. Dillon,
who, as provost marshal general for
the North African theater has one
Of the largest beats to patrol of
any policeman in history.
In addition to experimenting the
military police in the American
armed forces, Gen. Dillon has two
other important jobs-he is respon-
sible for the care, guarding and
evacuation of 100000 German and
Italian prisoners, and as chief of
criminal investigation he is the main
watchdog of all Government prop
erty.
"At the present time the prisoner
problem Is our biggest problem-but
the bigger that one is, the better we
like it," he said.
Not One Has Escaped.
"The prisoners get the same guam
tity and quality of food as our own
troops" said Gen. Dillon, a stocky,
dynamic man on the shady side of
40, who still keeps himself in trim
as he did back in the days when he
was a boxer at the Military Acad-
emy.
If we didn't feed them as we'll as
our soldiers, the Germans, who are
masters at reprisal, probably would
put our men they have captured on
bread and water diet"
The general Is proud of the fact
that not a single enemy prisoner
has escaped from the thousands
brought under his control.
The discipline of the prisoners
has been very good" he said. I'VE
let them elect or appoint their own
leaders who must be acceptable to
the camp commander, and let these
leaders handle disciplinary prob
lens that arise. We are providing
games like volley ball and other
recreational facilities as rapidly as
we can. Those men are physically
husky and they have to get ex-
erciSe.
I'VE are also setting up libraries
with German and Italian books and
we are arranging songfests fer them,
for they are all fond of music"
Aided by Investigation Aces.
In his task of safeguarding Gov
ernment property from theft Gen.
Dillon is assisted by Army men who
In civilian life held important police
investigative jobs.

to victimize unwary soldiers.
One scheme is for a native to
prevail on thirsty soldiers to ex-
change their American cigarettes,
more highly priced in Africa than
American canned food, for cheap
native wines. The cigarettes are
then sold on the black market.
The military policeman is known
to the public chiefly as the man
who keeps the other troops in order,
but he may be called on to do
everything from front-line fighting
to directing military traffic or stand
ing as sentinel before a house of
prostitution which has been declared
of limits.
Venereal Rate Low.
"The low venereal rate among
our troops in country where social
disease is prevalent is proof that
the problem OF prostitution Is being
well handled" said Gen. Dillon.
One Of the most effective measures
has been the banning OF all Allied
troops from the syphilis ridden ma
tive quarters.
"Verboten" signs at the entrance
to Arab sections Of Tunisian towns
retaken from the Nazis showed that
the German military authorities
also had the same idea.
One of the big objectives of Gen.
Dillon and the men under him is to
remove in the minds of the troops
the stigma attached to the mp"
arm band.
The provost marshal said that
as a result Of his training and
selecting, the military police were
showing a much better attitude
toward the troops and treating them
IN more tolerant. and restrained
way. Then he added with a sigh
They are taking hell of sight
more than they ever did and
can't say that the attitude of the
combat troops toward the M.P.'s ha.
improved as much"

Big Crowd Expected
To See Him Tackle
Ex-Feuther Champ

Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson, former
NBA festherweight champion, is a
slight favorite oves Lew Hanbury,
jr., as they approach tonight's 10
round boxing match at Griffith Sta
dium, with the odds hovering around
rs. But Hanbury is confident to
the point of cockineSs.
Giving him a crack at Wilson after
year of professional battling might
be considered bringing Hanbury
along too fast, especially after Viii
son chilled Danny Petro here, but
Hanbury's handlers, and Washington
ring fans also, don't consider it that
way after watching Lew trim Jackie
Callura. present feather king and
twice conqueror of Wilson. The
match is natural and a crowd that
may go better than 10000 is ex-
pected.
Hanbury Is Aggressive.
Hanbury's plan of campaign will
be the same as against Callura. He
expects to crowd Wilson as long as
the bout lasts. That's the only kind
of fighting Hanbury knows. He
throws lot of short punches and
tries not to give his opponent
seconds rest That system has
proved more than adequate in most
of Hanbury's bouts.
On the other hand the Pittsburgh
Negro is a polished and experienced
boxer. He's fair puncher although
not a particularly dangerous one.
He did chill Petro here after bat
tering Danny to a helpless condi-
ton In nine rounds. He has very
good right that almost is a jab, but
whether he can stick it in Hanbury's
face constantly as he did in Petro's
remains to be seen.
Both in Fine Fettle.
Both are in top shape and offer
no advance excuses Hanbury ex-
poets to weigh 1874 pounds. 4
pounds more than against Callura,
and be that much stronger, while
Wilson figures to be at about l28.

by an eight-rounder between frankie
Wills, Washington welterfeight, and
Manuel Rosa, Baltimore. There are
a couple of skies, between Jimmy
Jeannette, Washington, and Jimmy

LETTERS IMPORTANT

In talking to one of the men
yesterday, I asked if these was
anything he would especially like
to know about in the United States
and he answered, Yes, I wish you
could tell me about my girl. think
about her more than about any
thing else out here" I wish I could
bring this particular kind of news,
but since I can't, I am telling you
girls at home so you won't forget
what your letters mean out here,
and how hungry boys are for news
from you.
I saw a wonderful army hospital
today, which has the light and
cheer one always like to find in any
hospital. We also visited a hos
pital for New Zealand soldiers. A
service club for the Womens' Mill
tary Services was on our itinerary
and found that they also enter
tained many of our men, as well as
their own. We visited the Navy
yard and canning factory, where
some four hundred girls are at
work. Much of their production
now goes to our armed forces and
they confided in me that they were
making corn beef hash with pota-
toes and onions just to please our
taste.

Victory Gardens Are Hard
Work Says l.. Ldnderman

blood of all living plants, especially
garden crops. Gardens must be ire
uuently and easily irrigated. Run
ming water is far superior to sprln-
king. because vegetable roots need
a deep rather than a surface mols-
ture supply.
q. What weapons do you possess?
Assuming that your Victory garden
will be one of the backyard variety,
say 200 to 500 square feet or so in
area, it will have to be done by
hand perhaps. Then you will need
a good efficient spading shovel and,
or, a SPADE, good reliable garden
rake, at least one good serViceable
garden hoe, trowel or two, garden
hose if you have piped water, and
such other minor implements, and
a good efficient wheelbarrow Tor
the use OF one). He is the most wise
gardner who cleans and oils his
wea ions" we'll before the engage
ment begins. Don't work with rough
handles, or rusty, dull tools. Sand
paper them smooth and rub oil on
handles-scour and sharpen blades
we'll before beginning. Oil or grease
applied to blades after use will pre-
vent rust.
5. How about that fertilizer? We
have told you before that barnyard
manure is the best all-around gard
en- fertilizer. But, poultry rabbit,
or sheep manures are also excel
lent. And if it seems too difficult
to get enough of any of these, use
commercial fertilizer mixes. Or even
use some commercial mix to sup
plement manureS as supplementing
applications or as side dressings
after the plants have come up. Use
SO to 100 lbs. of barnyard per 100
square feet, 80 to 40 lbs. of poultry,
rabbit or sheep or 80 lbs. of COM
mercial fertilizer per 100 square feet
If available, six to 10 pounds of
superphosphate per 100 square feet
applied with the manures gives ex-
ira benefit of quick growth since
phosphate stimulates root growth
and development rather than top
growth. Nitrogen and potassium
serve more to grow tops of veget-
able plants.
SUGGESTS ROUTINE
7. What next? Well since it has
been determined what, when, where,
how and why you are going to pro-
ceed, I suggest the following rou-
tine:
W Clear away and burn trash or
debris, grass, etc.
CD Irrigate or wet the plot to be
spaded or worked up. This makes
the dig, dig, dig business easier.
CS) Apply fertilizers at rates sug-
gested over entire surface evenly.
a. Spade up the plot, when dry
enough to be crumbly, not sticky.
Break all Jumps while spading
into fine particles.
90 Rake the plot thoroughly to
a flat level surface to eliminate
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-06

high and low areas, and elimi-
rate clOds and Jumps. Let stand
a few days as flat.
90 Multch before ridging. This
allows the soil to help in the pro-
cess of sOftening up the soil,
working on the fertilizer applied,
etc.
"a Lay out rows and make ridges
by spading trench" and piling
alongside to build up the ridge.
1t is not necessary to spade more
than six inches deep. Measure
out and stake the rows SO they
will be 80 to SO incl:es apart for
row crops. For tomatoes, squash or
cucumbers wider beds are needed.
Beds for these should run East
and West. Other crops grown in
rows may be run North and
south, such as lettuce, carrots,
peas, spinach, etc. Such bed con-
structiOn will place most of the
fertilizer in the ridge where it
is needed.
(S) Irrigate the entire plot as
rough ridges-tO thoroughly wet
the entire mass. This will really
put fertilizer to work, also the
soil bugs, which will make avail
able the nutrients for plant
growth. Also, this will sprOut
seeds, weeds, other unwanted
plants. etc. which compete with
garden seeds. Allow to dry out
to work well before further till
age-DOn't work soil while sticky.
RAKE RIDGES
(9) When suitably dry to work,
rake down ridges to flat tops, to
finish beds, kill sprouted seeds,
etc. Walk in bitches while work
ing ridges. Don't walk on beds
always work from the bitches
Beds must be kept soft and mel
low, soft beds retain moisture
longer than hard packed soil.
tl0) Planting. Now that you have
"sOftened them up" Cleared the
way to shOOt let them have it.
The soft, moist, fertile inviting
soil is now ready for seed, if it
VII CNCi UC. IL HAS I1OIStuTe,
warmth, and fertility-everythin
plants need to grow. About three
inches from each edge of the
bed make little groove i'm the
moist soil with corner of hoe
blade or something similar. Drop
seed in and cover with soft soil
along edges of groove, so made.
DO not cover more than one half
to three-fOurths inch, but press
soil over seed lightly with rake
or hoe as il is covered, to pre-
vent moisture from drying out
too rapidly over seed before ger
mination. In a few days your eff
forts to grow garden viii have
begun to be realized.
