farmers often fail to get their

Also that is why the weeds become
unmanagea in a wet season.
Many excellent home gardens are
conducted on silt loans every year
in spite of the difficulties involved.
Indeed, in some places there is no
other soil available But gardening
on silt loan is always more ardu-

For that reason. if a choice can be,
made, it is best to avoid the sits

Insists Mon Drowned Wife

Worcester, Mass, May 10 - 4U P) - A prosecution medical Wit ness was recalled for testimony in superior court today at the murder trial of Jesse A. Campbell, 25-year- old Rome, Ga., war worker accused of the bathtub drowning of his es- tranged wife.
 Dr. William G. Morgan, pathol- ogiSt at St. Vincent hospital, tolc Judge James c. Donnelly and the jury yesterday that Mrs. Irene Campbell, 26, of Leicester was con- scious before she drowned, and that superficial scalp wound could not have resulted from striking a fau- cet, as the defense is expected to maintain.
 The prosecution's contention that Campbell held his wife's head under the water until her death last Jan- uary 26 in a downtown hotel was substantiated by Medical-Examiner John c. Ward who testified that the victim died of asphyxiation while struggling in the water. Her body contained more water than is usual ly found in a victim of accidental drowning, Dr. Ward said.
 In his opening argument, Assist ant DiStrict-Attorney Alfred B. Ce- nedella charged that the defendant the son of Chinese missionaries, de- liberately drowned his wife so he could be free to marry one Ruby J Wyatt of Canton, Ga.

Committee Keeps Up M-W Probe

Washington, May 10. CUP)-The two Congressional committees in- vestigating seizure of Montgomery Ward & Go. said today their in- quiries would not be halted by the governments decision to turn the big Chicago mail order firm back to private management.
 Chairman Robert Ramspeck, D., Ga, of the special seven-man house investigating committee named only two days ago, said the committee would continue its work since "the thing we were directed to investi- gate was the seizure-not the period Of government operation"
 Chairman Pat McCarran, D., Nev.. of the senate judiciary cornmittae, said his group also would ''go right ahead with our inquiry"
 Members of Congress generally applauded the governments deci- sion to return the plant to private management but agreed that the in- vestigations should proceed to de. termine if President Roosevelt ex. ceeded his authority in ordering the original seizure two weeks ago.

MARINES ISSUE
 CALL FOR DOCS
DOberman-P -Pinschers or German Shepherds Pre-
 ferred for Active Duty

Hartford, Conn, May 1o.-Cap- tain Neill J. E. O'Malley, officer fin charge of the U. s. Marine Corps district of Hartford, issued fur ther appeal today for Doberman Pinscher dogs for the Marine Corps.
 The Marine Corps, Captain O'Mol- ley stated, needs ninety war dogs by May 31. Male Doberman- -Pinschers, or a limited number of German shepherds, about 27 inches tall and weighing about 70 pounds. prefer ably from two to four years of age, healthy, aggressive but not vicious, and alert are the only type of dogs desired.
 These "devil-dogs" have been found by the Marine Corps to be a powerful weapon. The fighting dogs have proved their worth, in the front lines of the South Pacific and on sentry duty at many posts. Through their acute senses of hear ing and smell they have given the Marines added powers of observa- tion and have helped to save many Marine lives.
 All dogs trained and used by the Marines are voluntarily offered by their owners for war service Each dog is carefully examined before acceptance, and if the dog meets the requirements of the Marine Corps, it is shipped to Camp Le- jeune to be enrolled in the "War Dog Training Company.
 1nquires may be directed to, Ma rine War Dogs, Headquarters. U. s. Marine Corps. Washington, D. C., or by calling Hartford 7-6976.

OrIemonski
 PossportOK

Washington, May 10 = (UP) - There is a wonderful ogre in the state department who, so far as President Roosevelt is concerned, has the last word on the issuance of passports.
 The wonderful ogre, described jokingly as that by the president, is Mrs. Ruth Bielaski Shipley, chief of the state departments passport division. Her personal approval is needed on all passports issued.
 Mir Roosevelt's description of her was given at his press conference late yesterday. He had admonished reporters that they should read newspapers as he does. Then a re- porter added that since MT. Roose- welt had been reading the papers, had he heard about the trip of fath- CT Stanislaus Orlemanski, Spring field, Mass, to Soviet Russia.
 The answer was yes but in answer to another question he revealed that he had not been informed about the Orlemanski trip in advance. But he added that Mrs. Shipley had and made 1t plain that if she approved Orlemanski's passport that was good enough for him.
 Mrs. Shipley is wonderful ogre, the president continued-n you can get by her you conform.
 The controversy over the Orle- manski trip has subsided for the time being but may be expetced to flare up again upon his return. He left Moscow Saturday for the United States after second visit with Premier Josef Stalin.
 The priest still must face his su- periors when he returns. According to diocesan authorities, he left his parish without obtaining ecclesias- tical permission.

Britain Plans
 Civic Exodus
By ROBERT DowsON United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

(Unlteu Press Stnm COrreSpOnuenGl
 London, May 10 = (U.P.) = Bri- tain was reported today to have completed plans for the possible evacuation of thousands of non- combatants from ports and other bases from which the invasion of Western Europe will be launched.
 The evacuation, to be handled by the same off1t who supervised the mass migratlons during the bat tie of Britain, presumably will be designed to clear the base areas for essential operations and remove the population from possible targets of enemy retaliation.
 Under the completed plan, in- habitants will be given railway fare to temporary new homes and $1 a week subsistence. Women, especial ly expectant mothers, invalids, chil- dren and aged will be included in the evacuation scheme.
 A German military commentator reported Germany and the rest of occupied Europe living in "a state of siege" pending the invasion, with tension increasing daily.
 Lieutenant General Kurt Ditt- mar, in a commentary distributed by the official DNB agency, said Germany had to admit that the Al- lies strength was really imposing"
 "The attack which is impending will be unprecedented in the history of wars,' he said. Every possible technical invention will be used by the enemy. We win have to face an attack which has been carefully planned. The enemy has calculated with evry possibility" However, he said Germany now was "in a permanent state of read- iness."
 Stockholm dispatches said Mar shal Erwin Rommel, Germany's anti-invasion commander, had told his forces to put everything on one card when the Allies invade and try to throw them back into the sea-"
 We will not allow a position such as developed in Italy to oc- cur" Rommel was quoted as say- ing.
 Premier Hubert Pierlot of the Belgian g ! ernment-in-exile said in statement on the fourth anniver- sary of the German invasion of his hameland that Belgium knew "vic- tory is certain and deliverance near"
 She knows that her great ale lies, after having built up the most formidable war machine ever con- structed, are preparing to deal the enemy mortal blow" he said.
 Naval correspondents in London believed that one of Germanys sec- ret weapons to combat the invasion would be pocket U-boat of ex- tremely limited range but a surface speed approaching that of tor pedo boat.
 German storm troopers were understood to be rushed through i brief courses of training to man the vessels, which were designed espe- cially to operate in the North Sea and Channel shadows. They prob- ably would carry crews of eight to 16 men.

 Villages arrest in this little Texas town about 30 miles from the Mexi- can border climaxed a 16- hour search, which had led toward his native Mexico, after photographs estamlished that he was the John Lopez" who sent the trunk by rail- way express.
 He was seized at the home of his mother, Mrs. Tetra Villegas, and according to Deputy Sheriff Gar rett Barnes, he offered no resist ance.
