How Branches
Can Be Made
To Bloom
Nv ISABEL 2TCKER
Garden Eahet, The Detroit Time

THESE BRIGHT days give
Us all a touch of spring fever
and make Us long 10 see green
trees and grass.
II is possible 20 have that
green and even the brighter
colorS of flowers despite the
cold. Many bits Of things may
be brought indoors right now 10
furnish respite from the
blowY month ahead
Depending on what YOU have
or can beg Tor even Stean YOU
might bring in for forcing
branches Of pussy willow for
sythia. Towering ounce. flower
ing almond. lilac tthe common
white or lavcnder), horse chest
-,ut. any cherry or plum, Wild
or tame, or any Of the naples,
How 10 Force Plants
This forcing is of the simplest.
II only you'll start right. Re
suits are poor If the branches
are simply put in water and set
II, sunny window.
The right way to do the job
is 10 stimulate the drenching
spring rains and the following
warm sun, Here's how.
Immediately after bringing
the branches into the house take
very sharp knife and make
one OF more Sits in the cut
ends Of the stems. These Sits
should be upward and may be
several inches long. In this
way a larger surface is opened
for the absorption OF water.
The Next Step
Next, Just following the slit
ting, take the branches into the
bathroom and put them fiat in
the bathtub II am not kiddinG).
Weight them down with stone
or plate or anything handy and
cover them with water that is
barely luke-warm. Leave them
overnight or even six or eight
hours longer and once in
while when passing, add a. bit
more warm water.
BY this time the cells OF the
branches are filled to bursting
with liquid. Remove from the
tub and place in any containef
that is deep (no shallow bowls
yet awhilel. Fill the container
with water again using it luke
warm.
l prefer TO put the branches
in the basement for the first
three or four days and then
move them to sunny window.
II Doesn't Take Long
II doesn't take long for re-
suits 10 appear - before you
know il there will be little tips
of green on the leaf buds and
the flower buds will showing
color.
Once the process of budding
and blooming is well on its way
the branches may be recut (and
AT the same time reslit) and
used in any container to orna-
ment the house.

Strike Hits


Washington, Dec. 20-(UP)-
(UP)-Makeshift editions of the
Washington Post and the Times
Herald-skimpy in size and news
content were delivered to the
White House and other subscribers
today as a typographers' work stop
page threatened publication by the
city's four daily newspapers.
ClimaXing long dispute for a
81 day wage increase. members
of the Columbia Typographical
union No. 101, after rejecting a
publishers offer for 70 cent raise,
voted to remain "in continuous ses-
sion"-a maneuver that had the
effect of preventing them frcap re-
porting to work.
Newspaper affected were the Post,
a morning paper; the Times Herald,
which publishes around the clock;
and the news and Star, both after
noon publications.
The work Stoppage, however, did
nto mean a complete news black
out since many New York and Bal
timore papers circulate in the cap
ital and because of the fact that
both the Post and Times Herald
managed to get out 10 page edi-
tons, about one-third the usual
Monday morning size.

today
Simultaneously, a strong forma-
ton of Flying Fortresses subjected
the Austrian railroad junction OF
Innsbruck, northern key to the vital
Bremen Pass railway to Italy, to
what communique called "heaVy
and accurate bombardment."
Eleven bombers were lost in the
twin raids, but some were believed
safe in Allied territory.
(British-based bombers, complet-
ing the aerial pincers against the
Axis, were believed to have at
tackled targets in western Europe

PIotNipped

AlgierS, Dec. 20--(UP)-Allied
army counter Intelligence agents in
Sicily, following a two-months in
vestigation, have arrested Is men
and one woman to break up a rev.
dictionary plot which had resulted
in sabotage since the Allied occupa-
ton of Sicily.
Army spokesman said IA of the
group, including the woman, had
confessed plotting an armed coup
and cutting wires.
The suspects, none of them more
than 90 years old and all members
of the Fascist Youth Organization,
called themselves 'Fedelissimi del
Fascismo'-"Those Faithful to Fas-
cism." Most of them were well-edu-
Gated.
They possessed a considerable
quantity of Italian army equipment
and small arms, propaganda leaf
let's, copies of radio speeches by
Adolf Hitler and a book called
Sabotage.
Documents discovered revealed
the group took an oath to support
the principles Of Fascism and Mus
Solini.

War GUILTY.
Are Hanged
By Russians
NEA Telephoto.

Kharkov, Dec. 19-UP)- Amid
cheers, from some $4,000 Russian
men, women, and children, three
German army officers and one Rus
hian traitor convicted in the first
war criminal trial of World War II
were hanged today in the Market
Square of this war blasted city.
At 11:15 a. m, four trucks moved
away from the galloWs, leaving the
condemned men dangling at the end
of the nooses to which there were
sentenced for participatir in the
mass butchery of thousands of Rus
sian prisoners and civilians.
A vengeful crowd pressed against
a Gordon Of Red Army officers as
the doomed men--a Gestapo cap
tain, a storm troop commander, a
police corporal and Russian
chauffeur for the Nazis--Were driv-
en- into the square in closed trucks.
Youngsters sat on the roofs of
nearby buildings and others watch
ed from the windows of burned
buildings nearby as guards made
the four stand on stools mounted on
the trucks, tied their hands behind
their backs and fitted the nooseS.
The Russians, wearing the uni
forms of their rank and overseas
caps and decorations, appeared
more composed. They were Capt.
William Langheld, 50, of the Ges-
tapo, Hans Ritz, storm troops COM
mander, and Police Corporal Rein
hardt RatzlaW, SO.
AS the drivers of the four trucks
started their engines, Maj. Gen, A.
N. Myasnikov, presiding justice and
the military tribunal which convict
ed the men at midnight Saturday,
stood on a platform to their right
and intoned their sentence through
a microphone.
Then the Fords moved forward,

within the next three and a half
months, as anticipated.
Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, COM
mander of the French Army of
Liberation, also will come to Eng
land from Algiers shortly, the Nazi-
controlled Vichy station said. 1t
asserted that Gen. Sir Harold r. L.
G. Alexander, Allied commander in
Italy and deputy Mediterranean
commander, would succeed Eisen-
hover as supreme Mediterranean
commander.
The London Daily Mail said it

supplies has taken precedence over

Revenue Bill
BRING More

Washington, Dec. 20. (UP)-Con-
greSSional tax experts estimated to-
day that the final version of the new
revenue bill approved by the senate
finance committee would yield the
treasury $2,293, 100000 in new taxes
instead of $2,284 100000 as previously
estimated.
The new total, $153O00,00O more
than the bill carried as it left the
House, was announced as the joint
congressional tax staff completed q
final draft of the bill for presenta-
ton to the committee tomorrow or
Wednesday.
The finance committee will APP
prove the final draft and decide
when it will be reported to the full
senate. Senate passage will not come
until Congress returns from its
Christmas recess, which begins to-
morrow and continues until Jan. 10.
The Bias bill carried an amend
ment by Sen. Arthur H. Vanden-
berg, R., Mich, to freeze social Sc
curity taxes at the present instead
of permitting the scheduled Jan. l
doubling of the rate. Delay in final
action on the tax bill will not af-
feet the Social Security freeze since
the finance committee ATTACHED an
amendment to HouS masure hold
ing the rates at their present level
for 60 days afr Jan. /.
The delay, however, does mean
that new excise increase can not go
into effect Jan. and the treasury
thus will suffer loss of revenue
accordingly. These new rates will
become effective on the first day of
tn month following the one in which
the new law is enacted provided
10 days elapse between enactment
and the new month.
