of England-said it looked like. one hell of a battle going on down there"
 Radio reports reaching London said the British steamer Elizabete won the race for the $2,500,000 ship and her $2,Ooo,ooO food cargo, but indicated the prize was snatched away by a boarding party from the American Ranger.
 Both the Ranger and the Farmer are owned by the United States Lines. The American Farmer was abandoned last week after it col lided with another American freighter.
 Under international law, the American Farmer, as an abandoned derelict, and her cargo would be- long to the captain and crew of the ship which brings her into port. Usually the captain and shipoWners share 50 percent of the award, with the other 50 percent divided among the crew according to rank.
 (In New York, a spokesman
 for the United States Lines, said
 1t knew of no fight for possess
 sion of the salvage prize. The
 spokesman said when Capt. Os-
 car Johnson of the Ranger
 radioed for instructions before
 sending boarding party to the
 Farmer, he was told to use his
 best judgment" The Ranger
 informed the company at 6:30
 P. M., yesterday that its board
 ing crew was taking the Farmer
 to port under it's own power)
 Messages from the American Ranger indicated the Elizabete towline was cast of because the British ship was heading for Car diff. Engineers from the Ranger wanted to make for another port. There was no indication whether the British steamer had left sal- wage crew aboard the damaged Ves- sel.
 Capt. E. Millers of the Elizabete was described as bearded 65-year- old sea dog,' by Leighton Irwin director of the Hudson Shipping Company, Ltd, owners of the Eliz- bete, who added "Millers won't let his prize go once he had her" .
 The U. s. destroyer Perry was re- portedly "refereeing" the dispute but there was no official confrma- tion of the report. Navy headquar- ters said the Perry merely reported she was at the scene and gave nc information about the salvage op- erationS. ....
 Some observers believed the cast was almost certain to reach tht Admiralty Court, regardless of tht amount involved. The American Farmer was carrying a cargo o. buckwheat flour, evaporated milk dried eggs and lard, in addition tt a consignment of United State naval mail for personnel in the Flu ropean area.
 Her crew of 50 and six passenger! all were saved when the ship wa abandoned last Wednesday, ant were transferred to the Liberty Shil Benjamin Goodhue. Salvage ship began racing to the scene after al R.A.F. pilot reported the Farme still af1oat with her decks awash The collision tore large hole il her port bow.

Printers Union Bans Communists

Any member adhering to Com munistic or any other un-Arnerican ideologies will be barred from the offices of the Waterbury Typograph- ical Union No. 329, members decided yesterday at Moose Hall.
 Communism would like to set it. self up as the friend of labor when in reality it would make labor the slave of an all-powerful totalitar- ian system, members of the union declared during a discussion of the motion.
 The union also passed a motion to participate in Labor Day cere- monies in conjunction with other bodies of organized labor. If nc steps for such ceremonies have been initiated, the union will start on preliminary plans.
 The members attending the meet ing made plans to hold the annual outing at Wiggin's Grove, Thomas ton Avenue, on Sunday, Aug. 25 Lester Warner presided at the meet I ing

Athens, Tenn. 1 Pair Starts
 

Athens, Tenn, Aug. 5 - (UP) - McMinn County's new G.I. non- partisan administration, born of bullets bombs and bloodshed, will be certified today.
 Stormy Athens, scene of a wild political revolt last week, was calm today as two members of the three man county election committee met at 10 A. M. to canvass last weeks vote.
 Tennessee Gov. Jim McCord an- nounced last night the resignation of machine party Sheriff Pat Mans field. Mansfield, deposed by force and violence in which g men were injured still remained at an undis- closed place.
 G.I. Recommended Mansfield recommended that the G.I. candidate, sheriff elect Knox Henry, be named to serve until the new administration officially takes over on Sept. 1.
 c. A. Anderson, member of the three-man citizens committee, chosen by a town-hall meeting to govern Athens during the interim, revealed also that the county court would meet today. It presumably will name a sheriff to take over un- til the new officers are seated. It was expected that Henry would be nominated
 Mansfield, chairman of the com mittee will not be present, but George Woods, secretary of the committee and a supporter of the Paul Cantrell faction swept out of office by the fiery political coup, re- turned to town last night.
 Protection Promised
 Under promise of protection, he was met at the county line and es- corted into Athens for the official vote canvass.
 Shortly after partisan ticket sup porters had stormed the county jail here, captured some 25 machine
 election deputies and reclaimed the
 ballot boxes which they had con-
 fscated, Woods declared that he
 would certify the complete G.I.
 ticket into office. Today he presum-
 ably will make that pledge good. Woods reportedly will resign fol-
 lowing the vote counting. It also was reasoned that Mansfield would re- sign his committee chairmanship . This resignation, however, was not
 included in his message to the goV- : ernor yesterday.
 The two members will be replaced by the state board of election com- missioners after their spots have been declared vacant.
 Otto Kennedy, the third member of the committee and Republican l supporter of the GI. ticket, vii complete the tWo-thirds of the con- mittee necessary to officially certify the ballot.
 , Athens Mayor Paul Walker, who had beeR Vacationing, returned tt , town over the weekend, conferred
 with members of the citizens com-
 mittee but made no statement.

 "'Sure II met Murray. I met him like I met thousands of other people. Where-I don't know. May be at crap game, but I have no way of remembering now. As a matter of fact, I never even knew what he did.
 "T remember that when l met Carson, Schultz was fugitive, therefore I'm sure Carson never knew him. Carson and l were nothing more than casual acquain- tances.
 "'All want to do is sell ice cream. Do you know anybody who wants to buy ice cream?"
 Not very convincing -. It hap pens rat I got the connection d1- rectly from Flegenheimer's widow, whom I found by phone in Vest ern village, living with her children under assumed names She told me:
 "Garsson represented Ar hur !, though they seldom met Dick Davis transacted their business, as go- between Carson was trying to get my husband out of his in come tax jam (that was when Ar thur was fugitive; ! was with him Carson also worked to get Federal license for Arthur's Yenkers brewery, which was put out of business for bootlegging . After Arthur was killed, Davis even denied to me that he knew who owned it."
 Note that Davis says he CAN'T REMEMBER where he met Cars son-but DOES REMEMBER it was while Schultz was fugitive . j. Strange quirk of memory, that Ice cream favored with horse radish!

Lilies of the Valley Can Be Grown

/ or manure the season OF bloom
may be retarded bit the first sea-
son.
The 'pips" should be placed
about an inch below the surface
of the ground and from 3 to 6
inches apart. Before planting. how
ever, the bed should be well en-
riched with compost or well-rotted
manure to depth Of 10 to Is
inches. Use OF large quantities of
this material Is essential In keep
ing the soil moist and cool, condi-
tions favorable for good growth.
Old beds should be lifted and soil
reworked at intervals of three to
five years. Otherwise the soil be-
comes impoverished from the rapid
spread of strong growing plants.
The plants divide naturally and so
only need to be pulled apart before
resetting.
How TO Force Bloom.
The lily of the valley may be
forced for indoor bloom at almost
any season Of the year. However,
for this purpose the florists buy
cold storage "pips." From the gar
den the "pips" should be exposed to
cold before they can be forced
However, 1t is practical to lift and
pot a few 'pips" before freezing
weather arrives. The pots should
be left out of doors to freeze, other
wise they will not force.
For forcing, 10 or II of the "pips''
are placed in 6-inch pot tbulh
PAM or bowl and then sand, peat
moss or spaghnum is packed around
them. Soil is not necessary. II the

New Plant Spray
Found Effective
On Snap Beans

A new plant spray designed to
prevent damage to beans by mildew,
the Mexican bean BEETLE has beer
developed by an Agriculture De-
partment ofiicial at the Diamond
Springs, Va, truck experiment sta
ton, it was revealed last week
The new dust, containing DDT,
rotenone and sulphur, is combined
to give the same results with one
spraying which formerly required
three, says L. w. Brannon, OF the
Bureau Of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine. He predicts the dust
will save growers thousands of dol
lars lost annually, due to disease
and pests.
AZ station exhibit showed beans
damaged by worms, which produced
only IS bushels to the acre and
had "a per cent wormy pods. Snap
beans treated with the dust, how
ever, produced 164 bushels per acre
and only 0.3 per cent were wormy.
Mr.. Brannon advocated an appli-
cation of 80 to IS pounds Of dust
per acre two weeks before beans
bloom and two weeks after blooms
appear. Pending further data on
DDT effects, he recommended that
the dust not be used after pods
appear.

Conservation Plan
Would Provide
Game Refuge, Too

A program to construct more than
1000 small farm fish ponds and
game refugees In Maryland got ull-
der way last week with the stocking
OF the first pond on William G. Han
sons Mount Prospect Farm near
Trayilah, In Montgomery County.
Constructed through corporation
Of the soil conservation service, the
Maryland Game and Inland Fish
Commission and the Montgomery
County Board Of Education, the
pond is expected to provide from
250 to 500 pounds Of nsh each year.
In addition to providing fish and
recreational facilities, the area
around the pond will be seeded to
provide cover for wild life.
On hand to see the 500 Dream and
