Soil Conservation
In Virginia Paying
Off in Better Crops
BY the Assoeioted Press

The soil conservation district pro-
gram in Virginia. little less than
10 years old-is paying of in better
crops.
There was a time, Soil Conserva-
ton Service officials said, when the
program was advanced largely on a
patriotic appeal to the farmer to
help save his States and Nations
asset of soil. Now there is added
the pocketbook appeal-a farmer
practicing soil conservation not only
saves the good earth but gets more
money for his work.
A Virginia district, included in a
recent Nation wide survey, illus
trated to a marked degree this
higher yield and higher gross income
per acre, officials said.
The survey showed gross income
of $45.33 an acre from the farms with
83 per cent of conservation applied
as compared with $27 an acre from
farms with 81 per cent of conserva-
ton.
Considerably higher yields were
shown also for the more advanced
conservation areas in this district of
Bedford. Franklin, Henry, Pittsyl-
vania and Roanoke Counties.
The service reported a crop yield
index of 114.3 to TOT in favor of the
more advanced conservation farms.
Most recent Virginia figures, based
on Farmers estimates, show an in
crease of 58.4 per cent in the average
annual production of all major crops
as a result of conservation practices
for a period of two years or more.
Yields were shown by this sample
survey to have increased 626 per
cent an acre for corn; 40.7 per cent
for wheat; 28.7 per cent for barley;
1873 per cent for oats; 47.6 per cent
for rye, and 1923 per cent for tobacco.
The survey included 100 farms and
a total of 35,021 acres.
Ofhcials express confidence the
program in Virginia will maintain
a steady progress this fiscal year
despite a cut in funds by Congress

Arob Sees War as Result
OF Palestine Partition

LONDON, Aug. 80 Cp9.-Musa Bey
Alami, director general of Arab In
formation Offices throughout the
world, said today that partition of
Palestine by the United Nations
would plunge the Middle East into
a state of war"
Commenting at a news confer
ence on the report being drafted at
Geneva by the United Nations Spe-
cial Committee on Palestine, the
Arab information chief termed
utterly unacceptable" the two solu-
tions reported under discussion by
UNSCOP: partition or federation.
Both plans, he said, were "riddled
with inconsistencies" He asserted
the Arabs insist on the formation of
an independent state of Palestine
with restriction on Jewish immigra-
tion.
Musa Bey said the majority of
UNSCOP apparently favored parti-
tion, which he called "an almost 100
per cent pro-Zionist solution" He
said Arabs would resist partition
with all the means in their power"
and predicted Middle Eastern strife
would lead to a general outbreak
of violent conflict"

To End Authority o
lndonesian Regime
By the Associated Press

BATAVIA, Java, Aug. SU.-lT
Hubertus J. van Nook, acting gov
ernor- general of the Netherlands
East Indies, advocated today that
the Dutch put an end to the au-
thority" of the Indonesian Republi-
can government.
DR.. van Nook made his statement
on the eve of his departure for
Holland to report on the Indonesian
situation. Sources close to him indi-
Gated he planned to resign if the
Dutch drive on Jogjakarta, the Re-
publican capital, halted by the

feet August S, is not resumed.
The acting governor-general criti-
cized the loose grounds contrary
to international law" on which the
Indonesian case was presented to
U. N.
He said that before ending Re
publican authority, international
interest" made it necessary to con-
suit The Hague.
Charges Lack Of Good Faith.
He declared that the Netherlands
would mot remain passive forever"
to continuing resistance by the Re-
public, and accused the Indonesians
of not showing good faith"
DR.. van Nook said the Dutch did
not object to an international in
vestigation of the Indonesian situa-
ton but still felt 1t was an internal
affair.
A Dutch army communique,
charging that Indonesian attacks on
Netherlands posts and patrols were
steadily increasing. asserted today
that the Republicans had taken no
effective measures to end hostilitieS
under the cease-flre.
Indonesian resistance to Dutch
clearing actions" in the Soekaboemi
area of West Java was reported.
This is part of the territory over
which the Dutch said yesterday
they had assumed full response
bility.
Three Dutch were reported killed,
II wounded, and five missing in
clashes with the Republicans yes
terday. The Dutch said they took
80 prisoners on Java and Sumatra.
Attempt To Fire Pipeline.
The communioue said Indonesians
tried. to fire the oil pipeline and
pumping station at the Talang Akar
oil field, near Palembang, in South
east Sumatra, but were driven off.
Ten bridges were destroyed by Re-
publican troops and saboteurs, the
announcement said.
The Indonesians reported Dutch
naval forces were active of the
northeast coast of Sumatra and
North Central Java in possible at
tempt to cut the escape routes OF
Republican leaders to friendly near
by countries.
A broadcast communique from
Jogjakarta said four Dutch motor
boats took part in unsuccessful
landings at Bireuen and Lhokseu-
NAVE, on the shores of Achin Prov
ince, in Northwest Sumatra.
The Indonesians claimed II new
cease-fire violations by the Dutch.

Compromise Offered
u. n. Palestine Unit
On Partition Border
By the Associated Prexx

GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 3d.
Delegates of the United Nations
Special Committee on Palestine said
tonight that Paul Mohn, a Swedish
alternate delegate, had proposed a
compromise on boundaries for the
proposed partitioning of Palestine
between Arabs and Jews which is
likely to be approved by the COM
mittee majority tomorrow.
Representatives of seven of the II
countries on the committee-Can-
ada, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala,
Peru, Sweden, Uruguay and the
Netherlands-have agreed to recon-
mend to the U. N. General Assembly
that the Holy Land be partitioned.
A minority of three members,
India, Iran and Yugoslavia, will
recommend federated Palestine
with serniautonomous Arab and
Jewish areas. Australia has an
nounced it will support neither
plan.
Report to Be Signed.
The partition group had been un-
able to agree on the line to split
Jewish and Arab territories before
Mr.. Mohn offered his compromise
proposal providing that the Jewish
state should comprise the coastal
strip of Central Palestine, including
Haifa, Jaffa and Tel Aviv, Eastern
Galilee and most of Negrev and
should have common frontier with
Egypt.
The Arab state would include all
the remainder of Palestine except
Jerusalem, which would be under
an international trusteeship.
DR.. Victor Hoo, assistant U. N.
secretary general, said the commit
tees report to the General Assembly
would be signed tomorrow.
Summaries to Be Released.
Official summaries of the commit
tees recommendations will be pub
lished simultaneously in Geneva
and at U. N. headquarters at Lake
Success. N. Y, Immediately after the
report Is signed, DR.. Hoo said.
The committees recommendations
thus will be ready exactly according
to the time table laid down in its
terms of reference three months
ago.
Some of the recommendations
were unanimous, such as the termi-
nation of the British mandate and
the necessity for granting inde-
pendence to Palestine. Other i'm
portant points, such as rejection OF
the claim that Palestine could alb
sorb an unlimited number of the
worlds Jewish refugees, were
adopted by a large majority, the
informed sources said.

By the Associated Press

SNOW HILL, Md, Aug. 30
Judge Edmund H. johnson of Mary
lands First Judicial Circuit has
ruled boardwalk vendors at Ocean
City do not have to collect the new
2 per cent sales tax on foodstuffs.
He made decision that Rule of
the retail sales tax division of Con-
troller James Lacy's Office is "dis-
criminatory" and unreasonable"
Rule 9 provides the entire board
walk is to be considered the prem
ises" of a vendor doing business
there. The sales tax law eXempts
foodstuffs bought for consumption
off the premises.
SIS Fine Suspended.
The point came before Judge

jamin Shoemaker, operator of a
frozen custard concession at Ocean
City for Kohr Bros. of York, Pa.
He had been convicted by Mag
istrate James Robbins at Ocean City

$25 fine was suspended and he was
required to pay only $3.50 in costs.
Judge johnson ordered the costs
remitted
Judge johnson said in part:

many blocks, along which are 10
Gated numerous and various types
of business. From legal stand
point, it is a street as much as any
other street in the town.

word premises to embrace city
street would be such a distortion as
to be unreasonable"
Harry H. Cropper, Salisbury attor-
ney who appeared for Mr.. Shoe
maker, had contended that the ven-
dor had no seating arrangements so
customers might consume his prod
uct on the premises and therefore
did not have to collect the sales tax.

To Have Ordered Trial
OF Wounded Pre|ate
By the Associated Press

arriving from Yugoslav-occupied
territory said today that Msgr.
Jakob Ukmar, Vatican prelate
wounded at Lanische last Sun
day, would be tried by a peoples
court" September S at Pisino on
charges of melting a riot.
The Rev. Father Milo Bulesich
was killed and Msgr. Ukmar
wounded in disorder during
confirmation service at Lanische,
near Pisino.
Allied authorities said today they
had received reports that another
Catholic priest, not identified by
name, was missing in the Allied
occupied zone of Venezia Giulia
after leaving Grozalo three days ago
for Muggio.
Society Ordered Dissolved.
The Communist news agency ATT
said Yugoslav authorities had or
dered the dissolution of the Society
of st. Paul, an organization of
Croatian Catholic clergymen formed
two years ago to deal with Yugo-
slavia on church-state relations.
ATT said the action was taken on
the grounds that the organization
was "a center of propaganda and
was connected with foreign elements
against the people of Yugoslavia."
The travellers reports said the
Rev. Stefano eek, parish priest of
Lanische, and 10 other defendants
in addition to Msgr. Ukmar would
face the court at Pisino.
Msgr. Antonio Santin, bishop of
Trieste and Capodistria, said the
sending of Msgr. Ukmar to Istria
was IAN attempt to cooperate with
Yugoslav authorities" The bishop
added: HE was known, throughout
Italy as great anti-Fascist and
one who had suffered under Fascism.
Held Special Powers.
"He is a Slovene, and he had
special powers from the Vatican.
Most of the pro-Yugoslav news
papers in Trieste have admitted that
Msgr. Ukmar was the proper man
to have gone there.
Priests in 1stria have had spe-
cial instructions from me for the
past two years not to discuss poll
tics, but only religion and church
matters, and to avoid friction.
THE church in Zone B (Yugo-
slav) has not engaged in politics.

account of q most obscene and vul-
gar display inside church, replied
it was private affair in which they

Marshall Plan Group
Reported in Accord
With u, 5. Diplomat,
By tire Associoted Press

PARIS, Aug. 80. - Sir Oliver
Franks, chairman of the lena
tion conference drawing a pro-
gram for application of the
Marshall Plan for European eco
nomic recovery, indicated in a
statement tonight that complete
agreement had been reached in
discussions between high-rank-
ing American diplomats and the
conference executive committee.
The discussions, in which Under
. secretary of State William Clayton,
Ambassador to Britain Lewis Doug
las, Ambassador to France jefferson
Caffery and State Department rep
resentatives George F. Kennan and
Charles Bonesteel participated, last
ed three hours and IS minutes.
2 Will Return to u. S.
Mr.. Kennan, head of the State
Department Policy Commission, and
Mr.. Bonesteel, special secretary to
Acting Secretary of State Robert A.
Lovett, will return to the United
States tonight or tomorrow.
I'VE have received the work of
the conference and exchanged views
on the present stage of the work,
discussing one or two points arising
from it," Sir Oliver said, adding
that the meeting was informal and
all points were generally agreed.
American sources said the purpose
OF the conSultation-the first open
move by the State Department to
aid drafting of the proposal to be
submitted to the United States for
aid under the Marshall plan-was
to learn at first hand the develop
ment of the conferences work and
to offer friendly help while leaving
the initiative in European hands.
Need for Realism Stressed.
1t was understood that the Amer
lean diplomats chief purpose was to
advise the European delegates that
their proposals must be based on
realistic and careful programs for
long-term rehabilitation, and that
otherwise they would be unlikely to
find favor in the United States
Congress.
One source said the United States
representatives wanted to be as
sured the conference would provide
that every resource available to the
European nations asking aid would
be comparatively employed to the
fullest extent, that food, raw mate
rials, industrial facilities and man
power would be shared among them
fully.
France May Ask Aid Now.
Meanwhile, it was learned authori-
tatively that France may ask the
United States for help before the
Marshall Plan is presented to Con-
greSs because of its severe dollar
shortage.
Faced with the necessity of sus-
pending importation of gasoline,
cotton, lumber, paper, machine tools
and other goods, 80 per cent of
which have been coming from the
United States, French government
tai authorities are considering ask
ing Washington for immediate aid.
oilly 9lS3,UUO,OUU is dVdlldple LOT
imports into France during the /
next six months.
Backing For Cuts Asked.
Frenchmen face a winter with less
bread than they had during the
German occupation, little meat be-
cause of the fodder shortage and
only one-third the coal needed to
carry them through the next six
months.
The cabinet asked all France
today to support a stringent reduc-
ton of rations of food. clothing and
fuel, and Premier Paul Ramadier
said he would explain the present
economic plight of the country in
radio address next week
