Warren Battles
For Health Bill

there is a tremendously important
issue involved and will do something
about it he added.
A group of senators announced
they would present resolution next
week asking for two-year study by
legislative interim committee of
health insurance plans. The effect
would be to avoid consideration of
the subject at this session.
A similar resolution is ready for
presentation in the assembly with
the backing of nine members of the
public health committee. The COM
mittee refused earlier in the week
to recommend either the governors
bill or one by the CIO.
Motions to withdraw the bills
from the committee are scheduled
to be made also early in the week.
Albert C. Wollenberg. (R0. San
Francisco, author of the governors
bill was confident his withdrawal
motion would carry and the oppoSi-
ton was just as confident it would
not.
Assemblymen id tifie d with
neither side of the dispute were in
clined to give the edge to the op-
ponentS of the health bills.
TAX MEASURES
Warren put in new plug FOR his
tax reduction measures also sched-
uled to come up next week. Assem-
blyman Walter j. Fourt, R..O. Ven-
tura, author of the assembly tax bill
will attempt to have a s57,000.0 900
local works subsidy rider eliminated.
Warren said he did not think the
subsidy and tax questions should be
mixed.
A straight sl0o, 1000 COO subsidy bill
will be ready for debate in the SEN
ate at any time during the week.
The assembly livestock and dairy
committee tabled four bills to per-
NIT oleomargarine manufacturers to
color their product for the wars
duration only.
The bills were sponsored by as
semblymen Edward Gaffney, CD,
San Francisco; John Evans, CD,
Los Angeles, and Alferd w. Robert
son. Cd, Santa Barbara.
Lou Harrington. representing the
California Restaurant Owners As
sociation, told the committee there
was large demand for colored oleo-
margarine among patrons of eating
establishments who "eat with their
eyes and just want to fool their pal
ates while war shortages exist"

l9-mile dash east from their Weser
river bridgehead at Hameln.
The Yanks captured Schulenberg,
10 miles south-soutEeast of Han
over and l40 miles west of Berlin,
and plunged ahead toward BrunS-
wick, 30-odd miles away.
The fall of Schulenberg, on the
Leine river, outflanked the defenses
of Hanover, already menaced by
American and British fcrces swing
ing in on the city from the SOUTH
west and west.
simultaneously, British o n d
Army tanks stabbed north along
both sides of the Weser in a virtu-
ally unopposed march on Bremen.
Tie Britons early Saturday were
reported u miles south CT the port
and may already have reached its
outskirts on the west bank of the
river.
MOP UP GERMANS
Infantrymen of the American
Ninth Army were rapidly mopping
up by-passed German units between
their armored spearheads. They
cleaned out all organized opposition
along the west bank of the Weser
around the Hameln bridgehead and
stabbed south into the moi thern
flank of the Ruhr trap.
The Ninth army captured 1880
prisoners, and 1000 or more were
taken by the Third army, plus un-
disclosed thousands rounded up by
the five other Allied armies ripping
through the German defenses.
That ran the German losses for
the fist six days of April alcne to
10000 or more prisoners, a rate
that headquarters observers believed
might collapse the Wehrmachts or
ganized resistance in the west be-
fore the first of May.
DUTCH POCKET CLOSED
German resistance already was
breaking up into little more than
guel lila warfare at many points on
the Bremen Hanover line and in
Holland, where the Canadian First
army virtually closed the last escape
road for an estimated $4,000 Ger
manc pocketed along the Dutch
coast.
While Patton's far-flung tank
columns slowed down momentarily
to regroup and bring up fresh sup
plies for tie drive on Berlin, two
strcng bands Of Nazi elite guards
broke loose or a wild gun spree far
behind his advanced spearheads.
The Germans taid Patton was
ferrying in tanks by air to the Sixth
armored at Langensalza, but there
was no confirmation cf rumors that
armored reinforcements were being
dropped by air tc a Third Army
force in the Eisleben area, 80 miles
southwest of Berlin.
A Radio Luxembourg report that
Patton's men had reached positions
40 miles west of the CZechoSlovak
border alfo was withcut confirma-
ton early today. Latest reports
placed the Americans 81 miles from
Czechoslovakia at Stuctzerbach, "a
miles south-Southwest of Erfurt.

manure. Peatmoss, sometimes
used for bedding, gives a manure
that rots slowly. Hen manure,
usually sold dry. is greatly inn
proved in value If mixed with
several times its weight of peat
moss.
Chicken manure, because OF
its richer nitrogen content,
should not be applied as heavily
as horse or COW manure. A good
half-inch of poultry manure, or a
couple of inches of barnyard ma
nure are normal applications.
When using chicken manure,
add one-half pound of super
phosphate per bushel of mixed
litter and chicken manure, and
one pound per bushel of straight
Groupings. In fact, the use OF
superphosphate is advised, be-
cause most soils are highly de-
ficient in this plant nutrient.
Superphosphate should be APP
piled either in complete ferti-
lizer, such as the standard 4-12-4
mixture, or by itself at the rate
of three TO five pounds per 100
square feet of garden area. To
be of real value it must be
worked into the soil.
Owing TO its loose physical
character, horse manure is often
mixed with cow manure with
distinct advantage to each. Cow
manure is slower acting than
horse manure, and is especially
valuable in making liquid ma
rure.
The average composition OF
the three most commonly used
manures is:
Nitro Phos- Pot
gen phorus ash
Horse .7Oeo .25% SIS Go
Cow ....... $50 $50 l %
chicken, Ory 10 l'oO|o Nv %
Horse manure is the leading
source, and the most valuable,
as it is quickest to decompose
While many experts advise using
Only a well-rotted manure, feel
that much of its value as a plant
food is lost when it is piled up
either on the form or in your
yard. My advice is to work II
we'll into the soil just as soon as
you can. Manure spread on the
top of the ground, especially
when the ground is frozen, has
little value left in it after a few
rains or after weeks Of exposure
