Damping-OH

Damping-off is caused by fungus
which lives in the soil and attacks
the Seeding plant as it terminates.
While the disease C u less often
if proper precautionary methods are
followed-careful watering and a
dry NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., the
better way to control it is either
to sterilize the soil and kill the fun
gus in the soil, or else treat the seed
so that it will be protected from the
disease.

Dewey, Greenbaum and Gehrig
have outlined. produced and con-

NAACP SEEKS CLEMENCY
FOR CONVICTED GI

New York August 8th-NAACF
submitted a petition for clemency
to the Secretary of War in behalf
of Lawrence j. Everette, a Negro
serviceman who was sentenced tc
confinement at hard labor for life
for allegedly having committed
rape upon a German woman. He
was tried by general courts-mar-
tial sitting at Saverne, France on
the LIST day of March 1915.
The petition pointed out that
the prosecution witness, namely,
the alleged victim of the attack
and her parents were unworthy of
being believed. This was support
ed by numerous references to con-
Trajectory and incredible state
ments in their testimony. The at
tention of the Secretary was call
ed to a memorandum submitted
by both the defense counsel and
the trial Judge advocate to the
effect that there was reasonable
doubt as the veracity of the COM
plainant's testimony. The petition
further stated that the conviction
was contrary to law which point
was supported by numerous refer
ences to Federal and State cases
and Federal statutes.
The petition stated that the
claim of the alleged victim would
seem to have been pursuant to a
prior plan of action worked out
in concert with her mother. To
allow this verdict and sentence to
stand would be a shocking mis-
carriage Of justice. Much criticism
has been leveled at military ju-
stice especially as applied to Ne
gro servicemen. This results from
the impression that military
courts in trying Negro servicemen
have been unduly severe in SEN
fences glen and have convicted
the meven though the evidence
adduced has not established their
guilt beyond the reasonable doubt
required by law. Such criticism
undoubtedly a appropriately be
made in this case.
The petition then asked that the
Secretary of War grant to Law
renee j. Everett the greatest de-
gree of clemency possible under
the circumstances.

nEARLy CHRIS10nAS FOR US
 Last week's delayed Thanksgiving which the Gronnet Reefer brought to the city was everywhere wore given early Christmas present this week when sunday's radio re- ports flashed the welcome news that the shipping strike was ended.
 With Alaskan ships to be given first prt- ority in loading at Seattle docks, and at least one ship promised before Chrt stmas 1, the territory settles back to enjoy peace ful holiday season after months of troubled times.
 And a peace of larger import comes with the news of the return to work Of John L. Lewis' coal miners.. The thre tened coal strike, worldwide in it's reach, already had curtatled foodshtpmsnts to hungry Europe, and had brought return to war-time ration- ing and b1ackouts in at least northern EUropen country.
 It is the hope of Alaskans, and of Amer1- cans throughout the nation, that the coming of domestic peace in this holiday season of lo46 is the signal for the beginning of an internal teamwork and working together for common good in America.
 It is heartfelt prayer that the ev- ents of the past few days are the signal for and busy season in ls47 - May 1t be the year which will bring us closer to the postwar world of which We have been draam- ing for so long now.
