Fertilizer Plans
Draw Scrutiny
OF Farm Bureau

Members of the Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau are studying the
Bankhead-H bill which would es-
tablish a national fertilizer pro-
gram to save the soil Of the nation
and restore necessary mineral nu-
trients, Alex Meyer, president, said
Thursday.
Under the plan the Tennessee
Valley Authority would be given in
creased power and facilities for the
manufacture of fertilizer and the
department of interior would be
authorized to use phosphate and
potash deposits in the public do
main and elsewhere in furtherance
Of the program, Meyer said.
I'VE understand that two manu-
featuring plants would be built at
once by the department to utilize
western deposits, which, under terms
of the bill, would be turned over to
farmers cooperatives," Meyer ex-
planned. For a period of 10 years
ell production of fertilizer by these
agencies would be available for a
national test demonstration pro-
gram"
There has been some controversy
over the program so the California
Farm Bureau Federation will study
the proposal both from the stand
point of government entering into
competition with private business,
trend which the Farm Bureau in
California has not looked upon with
favor, and the standpoint of its
benefits to the states agricultural
interests, bureau officials point out.
Most people agree that the soil
has been greatly depleted and that
it is necessary for this country to
follow the long established practice
in European countries of returning
to the soil each year vast quantities
of mineral fertilizer" Meyer de-
clared

Truman Sees Need
OF Coal Car
IN Ruhr District

WASHINGTON, June %. lUP)-
President Truman has asked Prime
Minister Winston Churchill to
make Field Marshal Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery coal czar of the
Ruhr, highly placed sources said
These sources said successful
handling of this assignment would
be of as crucial Importance to re-
construction as was Montgomery S
war job to the victory in Europe.
Europe is desperate for coal. C,
j. Potter, Deputy Solid Fuels Ad-
ministrator who has just returned
from the continent, said the pres
ent European deficit was estimated
at about 100000 tens. He said
France, Denmark, Norway, Bel
gium, Holland, Italy, Sweden,
Switzerland, Spain and Portugal
along with North Africa were al
most entirely without coal.
The U. S. and Britain, both big
producing nations, can't help
much. Potter said the U. S. had
a 25,000,000 ton coal deficit and
Britain a deficit of 10000 600 to
100000 tons.
Europe's empty coal bins were
said to have given the Allies the
alternative of seeing widespread
revolution or forcing the Germans
to man their mines, the bulk of
which are centered in the Ruhr
1t was estimated that the Ruflr
mines, now producing at only five
per cent Of capacity, could be put
into large-scale production in a
matter of weeks given manpower,
food, clothing and authority
Montgomery, as commander in
chief Of the British occupied zone
of which the Ruhr is a part, would
be charged with getting about
100000 Germans back into the coal
mines-and seeing that they
worked.

Peru's New Chief
Gives Pledge
OF Press Freedom

LIMA, Peru, June %. UP)-
There will be freedom of the
press here DIR. Jose Luis Busta-
mente, President-elect of Peru,
promised in an interview Thurs
day.
BuStamente said that one of the
first acts of his government after
ne IS inaugurated July 28 will be
TO abolish censorship and other
restrictions on the free spreading
of news
Since election returns indicate
that Bustamente will have an alb
solute majority in both houses of
Congress, the prospects are that
his program will go through. The
latest returns gave him 241. BAT
votes to 108,686 for his opponent
Gen. Eloy G.. Ureta.
Bustamente said his economic
policy would be based on increased
production, balanced budgets and
the encouragement of private cap
ital investment.
The solution of Peru's pressing
economic problems will be given
priority attention, Bustamente
said. He said he would like to see
idle capital put into farming and
stock raising mainly. although
there are some manufacturing in
dustries in need of a vitalizing in
lection of capital
The new president denied that
his government would try to divide
largely privately-owned estates, al
though he said it would try to pre-
vent the creation of such estates
in the future.
