Atom Group NearUnitv
 McMohon Offers
 To Revise Bill

Washington, March 12--(UP)- The Senate Atomic Energy Commit tee seemed near an agreement to- day on compromise which, would give the armed services a major role in the control of atomic pow CT development. |.
 The issue, which has been fought behind closed committee doors for the past week, apparently was forc- ed by an amendment offered by Senator Arthur H. Vendenberg, R.. Mich.
 Vandenberg's amendment would set up military board to review all decisions of the Atomic Energy Commission which touch on nation al defense.
 Although the board could not actually veto commission decisions, 1t could delay their execution until the President had made a final ruling in the matter.
 Chairman Brien McMahon, D., Conn, who has been plugging for an all-civilian commission, im- mediately offered to revise his bill to set up a military civilian board to advise the Civilian Control Com mission.
 The board would have equal civ- ilian and military representation. In cases of disagreement between the board and the commission, a Presidential order would be request ed.
 Meanwhile the House planned to vote on 6 bill authorizing the Navy to use major combat ships in the forthcoming atomic bomb tests in the Pacific.

 Balanced National
 Budget Advocated

Boston, March 12. = (UP) - A balanced national budget through sharp reduction in Federal expendi- lures would be the best method of preventing imitation and g cheap money policy, the First National Bank of Boston said today in its monthly news letter.
 "Following IS consecutive years of deficits, the balancing of the budget and the reduction in the debt from surplus funds thus made possible would do more than any other sim gle faOtor to curb infiaiton and to restore public faith in Federal fiscal policies and in the future of private enterprise the bank said.
 Concerning cheap money, the bank said this policy appears plausible, but when subjected to analysis it is found to be fallaciouS in that 1t penalizes the thrifty, undermines security, and imperils our entire economic system"
 'The cheap money policy is an at- tack upon savings, which are the bedrock of our capitalistic system, the bank said. This policy has ac- counted for @ 63 percent decrease in real income in the past l6 years, the bank added.
 The policy '1s in reality a con- flscation of income and is pauperiz- ing an increased proportion of oul population. This in turn leads to a growing pressure for more and more old-age benefits and other forms of Federal aid"
 The real capitalists of the coun- try, the bank said, "are to be found on Main Street and on the farm as well as on Wall Street."

These duties consist of raking, grading trimming, rolling fairwayS,. feeding" trees, and preparing soih combining to give Mother Nature a face- lifting in the area of the city's recreational centers.,

 While Gay was alleged in search of a doctor police arrived on the scene and took the injured youth to the hospital where he was treat ed for a concusSion and slight bruis- es and abrasions. Gay was later apprehended near his home in Wa- terville by Motor Patrolman Mat thew Guarini.
 Upon his arrest he was charged with evading responsibility. At headquarters 1t was learned that tie youth used illegal markers on the vehicle which was involved in the accident. In Court this morning Gay asserted through his attorney that he returned to the scene of the accident and discovered that no one was there. He said that he then drove around and debated with himself if he should report the mat ter to police. He said that he was hesitant to do so because of the fact that he would get into trouble because of the illegal markers. In court this morning 1t was dis- closed that Gay, released from the Army only two days before the ac- cident, had not had time to secure new markers for the vehicle which he had only purchased. He said that his brother had markers for another car. and these were the ones that had been used on the station wagon

means of combating the yet in- curable Dutch Elm blight ami ott CT plant and tree diseases.
 At present a crew is engaged in drilling holes with compressors into the root areas of the trees and inserting special formulae designed to strengthen the trees.
 we do not expect that this method will prevent the Dutch I'm blight that has already doomed some of our century old trees," M-. Curtin said, ".but it may prevent a spread to healthier trees and give them a chance to combat a further spread of the blight"
 we undertake this process about every three years, although it is only two years ago we treated the Green trees, Since we discovered the prevalence of the blight on some of the trees there we feel it necessary to repeat year earlier"
 Trimming of dead twigs on the trees is also being undertaken ls another means of preventing Vhe spread of the disease. Dead twigs, which are normal to all trees, invite the Dutch Elm disease, MT. Curtin pointed out.
 Dutch Elm Blight
 As reported here previously, many elm trees on the Green have been adjudged doomed by tree experts be- cause of the inroads of the Dutch Elm blight for which no cure or actual preventative has yet been found. One of the trees was chop ped down last week by the park de- pertinent.
 Tree experts contend that "feed- ing" tree can do no harm and can do some good" MT. Curtin pointed out.
 well fed trees, like humans, naturally have more resistance. In many instances they are unable to acquire sufficient food from the ground area about the tree"
 Tt Is noticeable in many instan- ceS that areas around the trees are bare, proof that the trees are des- ,perately seeking strength. By in- serting the special formulae into the root area the tree draws its strength from that area and not from the surface, thus giving the grass @ chance to develop"
 "It's the survival of the fitteSt, the superintendent emphasized.
 In all the local parks, the grading raking of leaves, trimming of trees and reclamation of the soil is now underway. Bushes and plants are being uncovered from beneath the piles of mulch placed around them in the fall to keep out the ice and heavy snow. Lawn areas are being rolled and winter heaves-tht buckling of the earth upward from the frost--are being rolled flat. Abundant Plants
 The local greenhouses are ript withs plants and flowers ready fol transplanting to the outdoors tc beautify the local parks by givine a helping hand to nature. It Is vel too early to transplant but early May is not too far away and the park department authorities are prepared.
 we have to move fast to keer up with nature" MT. Curtin said "She sheds her winter ratments pretty fast. The baseball and goli season, the warm evenings when the citizens seek the cool of the parks want things ready when 1t Is time for them.
 we expect we will be on schedule If, the, weathernan gives us break" he said philosophically.

Churches Criticize Churchill PropoaaL

Hartford, Conn, March 12-(UP) The International Relations Com mittee of the Connecticut Council of Churches today criticized former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's proposal of an Anglo American alliance as @ threat to the United Nations Organization.
 The Rev. PaySon Miller, chairman of the committee, said that "the committee feels that the hope of peace is bound up with American British-Soviet friendship and CO., operation and that the call for an nglo-American alliance, seemingly directed against Russia, is really Q call for the restoration of 8 balance of power which llndermines the United Nations Organization. It cannot be too strongly stated that to wreck American-B British Soviet friendship is to wreck the peace"
 The committee proposed that churches statewide observe the third Sunday in May-anniversary of the first Hague conference-to promote "a continuing and growing mutual understanding between our country and Russia"
