Is Reported Scheduled
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Oct. 22.-Press reports
said today that the Greek Army has
scheduled winter offensive against
the guerrillas to start November Is
when the current amnesty offer
expires, and that more than 100
villages in the Pindus and Hasia
mountains in the north have been
evacuated in preparation for the

Churchill, AttIee Congratulate
Elizabeth on Coming MARRIAGE

sincere cordial congratulations on
this happy event, November 20,
which has been so widely welcomed
by the nation"
Her royal highness has shown in
the public duties which she has
undertaken the same unerring gra-
ciousness and understanding, the
same human simplicity, which has
endeared the royal family to the
fcountry," he continued.
Mr. Churchill seconded Mr.. Atlee's
motion that the address be delivered
to the King. He commented:
There is no doubt that the ap-
preaching marriage gives keen and
widespread pleasure in British
homes and that it stirs most warm
and lively sympathies in the hearts
of the British nation.
"Our constitutional monarchy and
the royal family play vital parts in
the tradition, dignity and romance
of our island life and we congratu-
late the King and Queen upon the
happiness which the betrothal of a
beloved daughter in such auspicious
circumstances has given them"

If the United States ever finds
itself in another war it will have
to go much further than in
World War II "in substituting
war production for civilian pro-
duction," Secretary of Defense
ForreStal told the Senate War
Investigating Committee today.
Called as the first witness in a
set of hearings to review industrial
mobilization in the last war, Mr..
Forrestal frankly called attention
to shortcomings, but praised the
overall results The victory, he
observed, showed the general results
were successful.
The Secretary reminded the COM
mittee that the National Defense
Act of the last session, which
merged the armed services, provides
the framework for proper planning
of future mobilization, through a
munitions board and a national
resources board.

British Press Blasts
Labor Party's Plan 10
Curb House Of Lords
Socialist Paper Is Only
One to Give Lukewurm
Approval Of Proposal
BY the Associoted Pres,

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Labor
governments proposal to trim
the little-remaining authority
of the House of Lords got an al
most unanimous pasting today
from the British press.
Only the Socialist Daily Herald
voiced lukewarm approval for the
measure proposed at the opening of
Parliament yesterday, a proposal
described by the Marques of Sails
bury as shabby apd shoddy po-
litical DEAL and by Winston
Churchill as deliberate act of So
cial aggression" that would divide
the country
An all-out floor fight over the pro-
posal seemed definitely in the cards
and some political circles predicted
a new general election would result.
Measure Termed Stopgap.
Prime Minister Attlee announced
in preliminary debate on the pro-
posal yesterday that the govern
ment's intention was to limit the
power of the hereditary House of
Lords to delay enactment of legis-
lation from two years to one year.
An authoritative source said to-
day the current proposal was STOP
gap measure and large-scale re-
form of the upper chamber would
be sought later.
The cabinets only goal, the source
said, was to insure that time would
be available for enactment of a bill
to nationalize the iron and steel
industry before the labor controlled
Parliament dies in 1850. He said
labor probably would make Lords
reform a key issue in the general
election scheduled for that year.
The Lords have no final power
to defeat legislation, but can refuse
to enact it and thus require the
House of Commons to pass it three
times, two-year process under
present laws.
1T is wholly out of accord with
the decencies of constitutional usage
that suddenly, without cause or
provocation and without discussion,
let alone consent, a single party
should by virtue of it's majority seek
to diminish the remaining powers
of the Upper House for the purely
cynical purpose of easing the passage
of single controversial measure, +"
the Times said.
Move Held Smokescreen.
Its reference was to the govern
ments announced intention of
carrying out its election pledge to
nationalize the iron and steel idus-
try before 1850. A proposal to ma
tionalize the gas industry was pre-
sented to Parliament yesterday, but
iron and steel naturalization was
not mentioned in the message by
the King. Some Laborites believe
the Lords would use their powers to
delay steel and iron naturalization
The Daily Graphic, conservative,
commented: 1T is impossible to
resist the conclusion that this reck-
less tampering with the constitu-
ton is a smokescreen designed to
blot out Socialist blunders.''
BY thus braWling with phan-
TOMS" the liberal News Chronicle
said, ''the Labor ministers may
find themselves arraigned before
the bar of public opinion. In at
tacking imaginary abuses, they may
find themselves called upon to de-
fend their own competence to cope
with national problems which are
real"
The Daily Herald took the line
that the government had a man.

outset, however, Chairman Brew

of Florida, dealt gently and cour-
teously with each other.
Senator Brewster began by dis
claiming any political motive, in
answer to Senator Peppers advance
suggestion that the Republicans
were trying to smear the Roosevelt
administration in search of 1948
campaign material.
To remove any flavor of politics
Senator Brewster said errors in war
time are not the property of any
one party He recalled that in the
recent past there was one small
war-the Spanish-Amer-
ican-and two larger Democratic
wars. He added his belief that the
Democratic record was better than
the Republican on those three wars.

Woman Under Arrest
On Drinking Charges
Dies in District Jail
Fay Promises Young
Probe of Bunch Case
Will Be Expedited

The second death within a
week of a prisoner held for in
toxication occurred here this
morning less than "a hours after
the District Commissioners, po-
lice and health officials agreed
on special medical treatment for
prisoners whose physical condi-
ton might be in doubt.
Meanwhile, United States Attor-
ney George Morris Fay today prom
ised to expedite his investigation
into third case, that of the death
of John Forrest Bunch, in reply to
written request from Commis-
sioner John Russell Young that the
case be presented to the grand Jury
if Mr.. Fay believes the facts justify
such action"
Mr. Fay replied to Mr.. Young
that "the investigation is proceeding
as expeditiously as possible. Your
request will be given due consider
alton as soon as the investigation
is completed"
Was Serving Sentence.
Mrs. Theresa L. King, SO, who gave
police her brothers address in the
2400 block of South Dakota avenue
NE, was found dead about 6 am
in her cell at the District Jail, where
she started serving a 3O-day SEN
tence yesterday for intoxication.
The record showed Mrs. King had
served 10 previous sentences for in
toxication. She was sentenced in
Police Court yesterday to pay $50
fine or serve 80 days. The Jail
physician said death apparently was
due to natural causes. An autopsy
will be held.
Mrs. King was found dead on her
cot by matron, Mrs. Grace Thomp-
son.
Gallinger Starts New System.
Mrs. Kings brother said as far as
he knew his sister never had re-
ceived any treatment for alcoholism
except the usual routine of arrest,
trial and sentence to Jail.
Meanwhile, Gallinger received its
first prisoner overnight under the
new system-Joseph H. Reese, 38, of
no fixed address, who was taken to
the hospital from a cell block in
Municipal Center, where he had
been held on a charge of intoxica-
ton. He was admitted for alcohol
ism. His condition was described
as not serious.
Plans for giving doubtful prisoners
a more thorough examination at the
hospital were announced yesterday.
Prisoners who may be either drunk,
i'll or dazed, or suffering from a
combination of the various ailments,
will be admitted overnight for OBJ
servation, it was said.
The letter from Mr.. Young to Mr..
Fay in the Bunch case said the
commissioners would appreciate it
very much if you would expedite

If you feel the facts justify such
action, the Commissioners hope you

Students Visit
Water Culture
Farm I'm XIV,

Advanced biology students of
the Key West High School visit
ed the local water-culture farm
operated by E. v. Kinsman and
r. B. Pittman. There, Mr.. Kins-
man explained to the interest
ed students the facts about
growing crops in solutions of fer
tilizer.
The fourth crop to be in pro-
duction was already being pick
ed, and most of the students en-
joyed fresh, luscious cucumbers
just off the vine. The vines are
fed three times a day, just like
a person, only the food is pump
ed through the growing beds and
then drained back intora els
tern and used for storing it be-
tween meals.
Special tame bees are used to
assure the vines producing
bumper. crop-the bees don't
sting. and in addition, they make
cucumber. honey which tastes
just like any other honey.
These cucumber vines pro-
duced the first ripe fruit just
little less than z weeks after
being planted. The chemicals are
adjudged at first to give better
sprouting and rapid growth.
Then after chemical tests show
that certain minerals are being
used faster, they are added in
greater amounts. In this way the
plants have exactly the kind of
food they need most. This varies
from time to time. After they
start blooming some additional
foods are given, and when the
fruit forms, more phosphorus
must be given. Then, when the
crop is over, by simply turning
off the juice all plants and
weeds are completely killed, so
blowing and other cultivation
methods are not needed.
The students liked the cucum-
bers so much, they asked for a
list of the. stores in town which
sell the Kinsman jumbo variety.
Already sold on hydroponic
foods by their study, and by the
exceptional quality evident upon
inspection, they were complete
ly convinced by free samples.
