Implies He Will Undo
 All in Big 4 Parleys
Charges Allies Of Dominotinq Small Nations

Paris, Oct. 14-(UP)-The Peace Conference completed it's work today under the cloud of a final bitter out burst by V. M. Molotov of Russia, who threatened to nullify all the recommends tions made here without his approval.
 In the last hours of the work on drafts of treaties for five former enemy states, Molotov denounced the Conference results as unsatisfactory" and accused the United States and Great Britain of domineering and dictatorial poli- cieS.
 Only the formal farewells tomOr- row remained to put an end to the Conference. It wound up it's work with angry, inconclusive votes on the Finnish treaty, the crux of the final clash between the East and the West. Molotov's final speech threw c dark shadow over the prospects 0k any early peace for Italy, Romania. Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland. In effect he tossed into the Waste- basket the work of the conference on all issues not previously agreed to.
 Molotox in one of the most bitter W the consistently biting speeches he has made here, attacked "a dominating and a die. tatorial policy" of the western na- tions. The Soviet Union, he hint- ed, will ignore even the two-thirds decisions of the Conference when the Big Four is reviewing its work. Accusing Britain, the United States and France of "welching'' on their previous agreements in the Big Four councils, Molotov charged that they imposed their will on this Conference because they had enough votes to do so. Follows Vandenberg's OutbuEsE The Soviets hared back i'm the closing hours of the Peace Coafer- ence after Sen. Arthur H. vanden- berg, R.-Micho. sharply castigated Russia for attacking U. s. peace making motives. He disclosed that the Americans would vote against giving Russia $500, ,00O, 900 in repar- ations from Finland.
 Vandenberg in turn was provoked to a departure from his prepared speech by criticism from K. V. Kis- selev of White Russia. Kisseley charged that certain circles" in the United States were trying to fo- n1ent discord between Russia and Finland.
 Thus the Conference wens through its last working day-for-
 nal adjournment was scheduled for tomorrow-in the same spirit Of futility and discontent that has characterized much of the delibera- tionS here.
 Molotov, in his last chance to speak on the Finnish peace treaty
 recommendations, devoted most of
 his 35-minute speech to criticizing
 the work of the Conference on al
 issues not previously decided. | We cannot regard as satisfactory
 the results of this Conference on
 many questions on which no silf-
 f1clent preparation was made before
 the Conference, and on which there
 was no desire on the part of the
 dominating portion of the confer
 ence to reach agreement" he said.

vile Experiment Station finds that
we should apply all of u fertilizer
In Georgia they are recommend
ing 500 pounds of a 6-8-8 fertilizer
be placed several inches below the
seed before planting. The reason for
this is that we usually have a dry
spell when the corn is needing mois-
lure and feed most and if fertilizer
used as a side dresser is located in
the top 2 OF 3 inches Of the soil, the
plats can not get it because the
moisture is below this point. The
plant may get some of the benefits
where there is moisture, but as the
dry spell proceeds, the moisture line
sinks believe the area where the fer
tilizer is found and where the roots
have been stimulated, consequently
no fertilizer can be used by the
plant. If all Of the fertilizer is placed
below the surface several inches, 1t
goes to reason that the roots will be
stimulated considerably more in this
area. This being the cas- the roots
are in a position to take up a maxi
mum amount of moisture as well as
the fertilizer plant food.
Fertilizing corn as heavily as de-
scribed above, the plant shhould be
left every ii or IS inches in the drill
If one good ear is produced per
plan on AZ inch rows and 100 ears is
a bushel, it is possible to produce
100 bushels per acre. If the plants
are left three feet apart and one ear
is produced per plant, it is not pos
sible to make more than 40 bushels
per acre.
Now is the best time to plant corn

If it is planted during March in the

The Red Cross tells me that home
town newspapers are still in great
demand by members of our occupa-
ton forces abroad, especially those
who are in hospitals. OF course we
all know that people that far away

l wonder if we always realize that
the local newspaper may do a lot to-
ward keeping down that feeling of
loneliness. When the newsprint
shortage lets up, publishers will be
better able to supply these papers.

Down in Chinatown to the open

we had a rather enjoyable visit to
the new home of the organization.
1t is upstairs at "a Pell Street and
visitors are welcome. Although Sha-
vey Lee, the mayor of Chinatown
and other hosts were polite and well
coming, they did not talk so much
about the purpose of the club ex-
cept this: it will help to keep the
young people of this Oriental sec
ton of New York off the streets, and
thus prevent much juvenile delin-
ouency. A number of the Chinese
kids were present at the opening,
busy with the refreshments and
mostly on the receiving end. They
are handsome children, these Chin
csc, and happy in their life in Am
erica. Each time J. look at them !

these rows as he would for corn or
cotton. These rows will be partly
settled when he plants the Kudzu
crowns the first part of April. Three
hundred pounds of superphosphate
per acre will be applied as side dres-
sing when the superphosphate is
available this summer.
D. c. O'Briant of near Centerville
is using his old terraces for Kudzu
rows. His Kudzu will be side-dressed
with superphosphate and cultivated
in the same manner as the adjacent
row crops of cotton and corn. Mr..
O'Briant will dig his Kudzu crowns
from an old patch of kudzu located
near his home.
Clay Aldy of Durant made a good
job of establishing ten acres of pas
ture recently. His method of estab-
fishing this new pasture, on land
that has been. in row crops for a
number of years, was to distribute a
ton of lime and 600 pounds of super
phosphate per acre. Following this
application of fertilizer he disked
and narrowed the land until an ex-
cellent seed bed was prepared.
Twelve pounds of Dallis grass seed,
and Is pounds of lespedeza seed was
applied, after which a cultipacker
was used to firm the seed bed. With
the controlled grazing and mainten-
ance practices that Mr.. Aldy expects
to follow, an excellent pasture
should result for future years.
Mr.. w. E. Word of Owens Wells
set out one Kudzu crown near a cav
ing creek bank on his farm about
six years ago. 1t is interesting to
note that this kudzo crown has
grown until it has now covered and
stabilized a long section of this bank.
Also, other crowns will be dug from
this area and used on other eroded
areas on his farm and without dam
aging the stand on the creek bank.

One of the landmarks of this city,
the old Murray Hill Hotel on Park
Avenue just south of Grand Central,
is coming down. Soon it will be torn
away and will be replaced with a
modern office building.
This beloved old hostelry is leav-
ing amidst the piteous cries of a lot
of old ladies who live in it, some of
whom have petitioned the OPA
not to let them tear their home for
the last 20 years, down in utter hui
initiation. But it has had little effect
for modern progress must supplant
the old with the new. 1t is a historic
hotel. Presidents, famous authors in
cllving Mark Twain have made it
their home while in New York, and
q lot of us will hate to see the old
fashioned structure 60. 1t is the same
with the passing of people but mex
orable time goes on unchangingly.
The current enlistment drives of
the armed forces are unusually sue
cessful and are hedping the problem
of furnishing men to replace those
who are being discharged. The
Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Ma
rines offer opportunities for a ca
reer which no one can afford to ig-
more. One can stay in awhile and
then get out, stay in an extended
time and retire on substantial pay.

and ravages of destruction remained.
There was Germany, a gigantic noun
tain of debris, a moldering mass of
death, misery and discontent,-y
withal a promise of better things to
come if the workers, Hitlerism's bit
terest enemies, were able to organize
themselves again into free and demo-
cratic unions of their own.
What better choice than Joe keenan,
for the tremendous job of union re-
construction in a defeated country
If anybody could see it through, it
was Joe. And so, keenan, packed again
his grip, said goodbye to the wife and
kids, and went overseas.
Fortunately, foreign labor problems
were not new to him. Long before the
war he had taken a warm interest in
the fate of the totalitarian- ridden
working peoples abroad. In war, he
applied the little remaining time to
similar worthy labor causes, thus ham
mering together the platform on
which some day the new house of
worldwide labor brotherhood is to be
built.
Keenan's job as advisor to Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, American Military
Governor, was to stimulate and CO.
ordinate the reconstruction of labor
unions, help the leaders frightened by
their responsibilities, and in general
see to it that organized labor take
a leading place in the structure of
new Germany. He did the job, and he
did it well. Only after seemingly un-
surmountable difficulties had been sur
mounted, did the head of the army give
him reluctant permission to go home.
To hear him speak of his expert
ences is to visualize in binding flash
the sorrows and hopelessness of the

of the surviving trade union officials.
Gradually we won their confidence and
now they are cooperating with US 100
percent. Today industry is functioning
to limited extent and the unions are
getting back on their feet"
But Joe keenan, did more than help
the workers and their unions in the
American zone get back on their feet.

deeply concerned with the tide of COM

Doubtful of the wisdom of policy
dividing Germany into four alright
zones, he applied himself to the work
of strengthening democracy within
union ranks and roofing out the mag
gots of Nazism and it's sister creed,
Communism. He perhaps more than
anyone else in army ranks realized
that the solution of the German prob

JOSEPH D. KEEDAN

Just few weeks ago, sun-tanned
der general of the United States
Army walked into the American Fed
Grafton of Labor building on Massa-
chusetts Avenue, Washington, D. D.
His was the knowing look of man
thoroughly at home. Joseph keenan,
had returned to American labor. His
assignment to Germany had come to
an end.
If this writer were asked to name
someone combining the qualifications
of union leader with those of an
army officer, diplomat, administrator
and guide to foreign labor, the answer
would be Joe keenan,. For here is the
man whom fate gave the task of re-
building trade union movement
which until 1888 ranked among the
worlds mightiest. 1t was keenan,,
labor advisor to the head of the Amer
ican occupation forces in Germany,
who succeeded in stirring the stunned
workers into new life and giving them
the confidence they SO badly needed
after nearly Ia years of Nazi tyranny.
Who is Joseph keenan,? What set
this man with his jovial grin and
easy-going ways apart for a respon-
sibility which would have stumped
many another good man? There is
little to say about Joe, unless we un-
derstand that his entire life has been
devoted to the cause of organized Ia
Dor and the progress of the working
men and women of America.
Whether as simple member in the
ranks of the Brotherhood of Electri
cal Workers, executive officer OF the
Chicago Federation of Labor, or AFL
spokesman in the federal government,
he has always stood in the forefront
of labors battles. There are, to be
sure, many men who have given their
DeSC TO UHS CduSC VI IlduC
But from where Joe spoke and worked
there flowed directness and determi-
nation, strengthened by the confident
belief of his fellow workers that Joe
would see things through.
1t was this spirit of seeing things
through which led keenan, into the
important position of AFL represent
ative in the Office Of Production Man
agement of prewar days. When the
second world war engulfed the nation,
he was called into the War Produc-
ton Board, first as associate director
and later as vice chairman. AS head
of the WBP labor division he devoted
his organizational talent and driving
force to the struggle of embattled
America, until victor had been won.
Victory had come, but the stencil
