Farrell Still Faces
Many Problems After
Putting Down Revolt
BY the Associated Press.

/ By the Associated Press.
MONTEVIEDO, Uruguay. Mar. 2.
Acting President Edelmiro Farrell
OF Argentina turned his attention
today to a host of domestic and
international problems which ap-
parently were only slightly eased by
his victory yesterday in quelling a
minor revolt.
While Gen. Farrell, abetted by
Acting War Minister Col. Juan
Peron and local troops, easily met

Authority which was presented
when 1t. Col. Tomas Duco attempt
led coup to restire Gen. Pedro
Ramirez to the presidency, he still

Of whether to head toward restora-
ton of constitutional government or
yield to the pressure of rabid ma
tionalists.
| What action, If any, Farrell takes
on such questions as the drastic
press regulations now In force, re-
creation Of political parties and
calling elections may serve to indi-
cate his future policies. He also

lister.
Britain to Back U. s. Policy.
Although Farrell's government has
insisted it is only a continuation of
the Ramirez regime, 1t is bound to
take into account the skeptical at
titude made evident in Washington
and other American capitals.
Great Britain's assurance that 1t
would concur in whatever policy
Washington adopts could not help
but give even the most extreme ma
tionalist pause in view Of Britain's

Annie Litz, 10, Of Capitol Heights,
Md, after being prosecuted by As
sistant United States Attorney
Grace B. Stiles.
Information showed Toliver's
drivers permit had been, revoked
because Of his physical condition.
In turn, In denying the new trial,
Justice Eicher held that the de-
fendant knew Of the physical con-
dition and therefore should not
have been driving. Mrs. Lite was
struck when the automobile oper-
ated by Toliver ran up on the side

North Capitol street. He Is yet to

economic Importance as Argen.
ttnas best customer.
Possibly weighting the scales In
favor Of a more liberal spolicy was
the Argentine Navy's apparent de-
cision to lend its support to the
Farrell administration. The Navy,
while generally aloof from politics in
Argentina, is considered a moderat-
ing influence opposed to extremist
trends.
Also the fact that Ramirez failed
to exploit Duco's ill-fated action
might be reckoned as point in
favor of stability existing in the
present regime. On the other hand
Ramirez has held off on any state
ment supplementing his original
delegation of executive power to
Farrell.

Duco,s Fate Unknown.

Duco's fate still was a subject for
speculation today. Some rumors
circulated that he had been exc

he was lodged In the naval hospital.
Meanwhile, a family quarrel with
neighboring Uruguay arose last
night over the manner in which
Montevideo radios and newspapers
treated news Of the Duco attempts.

Mud Is Eliminated
By New Chemical
Product Is Developed Bq Hercules
Powder Company

Imagine an automobile racing
down a dirt road in rainstorm,
splashing through puddles-and
raising clouds of dust!
In other words. imagine the elm
ination of mud, which is exactly
what is accomplished by a new
chemical compound, existence of
which was revealed for the first
time last week by the Hercules
Powder Company.
The product, a resin compound,
actually waterprOofs the soil, the
company said. and it has been
proved in tests on roads, air field
strips and other projects here and
abroad.
The location of airstrips and
other military projects waterproof
ed by the method was not revealed,
but the company said "resin-sta-
bilized" roads have been construct
ed near FELTON, in Delaware, and in
Florida. Georgia. Mississippi, Ohio
and South Carolina.
Army engineers have used the
product in both northern and south
ern states, and part of the work
abroad has been done in Panama
and French Guinea.
A waterproof surface is obtained
by mixing the resin compound with
the top few inches of soil. Water
will then drain off or exaporate.
Capillary rise of moisture from be-
low also is prevented.

Pea And Asparagus
Crop Seen Larger
Production In Delaware Is
Expected To Be Greater
Than In 1943

Production of asparagus and
green peas in Delaware is figured
to increase this year while the
acreage of strawberries is expected
to decline slightly. according to
the first truck crop report of the
season by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics at College
Park. Md.
Acreage of asparagus in Della
ware this year is estimated at LOO
acres as compared with, 1,6O0 har-
vested last year and 1850 acres,
the 1O-year (1933-42) average.
The average yield per acre of
Strawberries this year is indicated
to be II per cent higher than in
1943. Delaware strawberry acre
age > for harvest is estimated at
1.200 acres or 300 acres less than
that in 1943 and compares with
1850 acres across the 10-year
(1933-42) average.
Delaware acreage of green peas
for processing is estimated at 4,100
acres or 200 acres more than 5000
acres harvested in 1943.
