DELEGATES FORM BLOC
California Senators Sherio an
Downey CD and Hiram w. john
son (R.) have blocked action on the

guaranteeing Mexico a minimum
flow of water it will force California
farmers to take an unequally small
share during Cry years when the
river is low.

Lea said he planned to appoint
subcommittee of the California

states position.
O'Mahoney said in press state

at the hearings "to make certain
that the waters Of the river can be
used in the United States to ob-

used on practical projects within
the boundaries of the state or of the

Use of Good Potato
Seed Is Recommended

The "eyes" have it when Maryland
potato growers make sure that the
kinds and varieties of seed they plant
are certified, thus helping them to
avoid poor yields and inferior quality.
r. A. Jehle, state plant pathologist at
the University of Maryland, advises
that best results may be expected
from Maryland grown certified seed
If this cannot be obtained, he recon-
mends northern grown certified seed
The use of war approved seed is adj
vised only when certified seed cannot
be obtained, since inspection standards
for the former are not as severe as
for certified seed.
Home grown seed which has met re-
Qurements for certification, but which
has had no bin inspection, is safe to
use if the grower sorts it carefully
before it is planted. All tubers which
show evidences of rot, and blemiSheS,
such as late blight, scab and Rhzoc-
tonia. should be discarded. If scab is
prevalent enough that some scabby
tubers must be planted, those which
have scab spots extending deep into
the flesh should be discarded and the
remainder should be treated with an
organic mercury compound or other
diSinfectant.
When the potatoes are cut for plant
ing, the first cut should be made
through the stem end so the tubers
are split into two pieces, those show
ing flesh or stem end discoloration
extending more than half an inch into
the tuber should be discarded.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 Up

Meanwhile. President Truman
soon will send 10 Congress his
selections for Federal Loan Ad-
ministrator and the Supreme
Court vacancy created by the
retirement of Justice Owen J.
Roberts.
Emil Schram, president Of the
New York Stock Exchange, has
been mentioned In speculation
over the loan post which John
W. Snyder gave up to become
reconversion director. Another
name heard has been that of
Walter j. Cummings, Chicago
banker.
Mr.. Truman has been urged
by some congressional friends
TO appoint Robert p. Patterson,
Undersecretary of War, to the
Supreme Court vacancy. Others
who have been suggested include
u. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Judge John j. Parker, of North
Carolina, and Senator Austin
(R-Vt.).
John J. McCloy, assistant Sec
rotary of War, is among those
talked Of for Stimson's post in
the event of the latter's retire
ment.
The months ahead also may
see the retirement of Admiral
Ernest ]. King. sc year old
Chief OF Naval Operations, thus
opening the way for the promo
ton of someone like Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz or Admiral
William F. Halsey.
There also has been talk of
the retirement of Gen. Henry H.
(Hap) Arnold, commanding
general of the Army Air Forces.
Such move might see the ele-
walton OF either Gen. Carl Spaatz
or 1t. Gen. Ira c. Eaker.

main on the job as long as he
desires to. Some observers be-
lieve Ickes plans to quit late

ST. CLAIR SHORES - The
following statement addressed
to parents of children attending
st. Gertrude's parochial school,
St. Clair Shores, was issued by
the school administration this
week. 1t Is of general interest to
parents of all Catholic parochial
pupils, since a similar educa-
tional system is offered in each
school:
"The administrative office of
the Parochial schools were busy
all summer preparing books and
study units for early use in the
fall. Pre-registration cut down
confusion in September. The
Sisters returned to their con-
vents in mid-August in order to
be ready for prompt start. All
this means important work will
begin Immediately. The student
who misses even a few days in
September will have a doubly
hard time in October.
