Lacked Vitamins
Although everyone knows that
vitamins and minerals are essential
to health, until 1941 about 40 per
cent of all Americans ate a diet
which failed to provide all of these
nutrients they needed. What Amer
can dietaries lacked chiefly were
some Of the B-vitamins and the 1000
mineral iron, and these nutrients
have been added under the wartime
enrichment program.
Moisture Needed
Fertilizers are of no value to the
plant unless the soil contains ample
moisture and air. Fertilizers should
not be applied to dry soil; SO, dur
ing periods Of drouth, artificial
watering should be practiced. On
soils known to be highly acid or de-
fcient in calcium this condition
a be corrected by applying agri-
cultural ground limestone or ny
drafted lime at a rate Of so to 70
pounds per 1000 square feet. The
rate of application of lime should
be based on soil tests. and lime
should be applied only if analysis
shows it is necessary.

Highest Tribunal
Says Bridges
May Stay in U. 5.

WASHINGTON, June l8. (UP)-
The supreme court Monday cam
celled an order calling for the de-
portation of Harry Bridges, west
coast labor leader, to Australia as
a Communist. The decision was S
to g.
The ruling brought to a close
the long series of hearings over
deportation proceedings starte d
against Bridges in 1888.
Bridges, who has remained an
Alien since coming to this country
in 1920, turned to the federal courts
after Attorney General Francis
Biddle on May %. i942, ordered
that he be sent back te his native
land.
UNDESIRABLE Al len
Biddle held that Bridges, head of
the powerful Longshoremen's and
Warehousemens union (CIO), was
an undesirable alien as a member
of the Communist party which
taught overthrow of the u, S. gov
ernment by force and violence
The supreme court reviewed the
entire proceedings upon Bridges
bid for freedom through a writ of
habeas corpus. Bridges appealed
after Federal Judge Martin I.
Welsh in California refused to is
sue the habeas corpus writ and his
refusal was upheld by the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Before the high court, counsel
fer Bridges denied he had ever
been member of the Communist
party or its affiliate, the Marine
Workers Industrial union. The de-
portation order, they charged, was
contrary to the bills of rights of the
federal constitution which guaran-
tees to aliens and citizens alike
the rights CT free speech, thought
and assembly.
GOVERNMENTS CASE
The government claimed con-
gress had provided for the classi-
fication of aliens and that this
function was not up to the courts.
1t contended the evidence was
overwhelming" in support of Bid
dies findings against Bridges.
Justice William o. Douglas de-
livered the majority opinion for
himself and Justices Stanley Reed,

and Frank Murphy

ist groups seem to indicate no more
