mates, and they agreed that he is
good guy
The general asked the boys about
their schools and discovered that
Eddie SmallWood goes to Eliot Jun
ior High and Earl Brown and Joe
Shelton to Holy Comforter Parochlal
School. He heard from John Liv-
ingston that he sometimes helps on
a farm and is handy at milking
COWS.
Tells of Life on Farm.
Gen. Eisenhower told the boys he
used to do a bit of milking himself
back in Kansas when he was boy.
Then they talked about the vari-
Gus odd jobs the boys perform to
make pocket money, and they talked
about their plans for school, The
general advised Eddie to continue
his schooling and to go to college
if he can.
Then came the presents.
From behind his big desk, the
general brought forth the bushel
baskets jammed with food-a tur-
key. oranges, canned soup, a quart
of cream, potatoes, celery. cram
berry sauce. onions, apples, nuts,
a fruit cake and so forth.
Next came the captured Nazi
medals. Gen. Eisenhower explained,
the boys said, they were captured by
American troops in Hitler's Berlin
office. Anyway, they were dated
1889 and came complete with a
fancy ribbon.
Earl Brown was showing his

Another boy asked where he got 1t.
Earl said:
General Eisenhower gave it to
me-"
HIM m-m-mm," commented the
skeptical pal.
But he really did," said Earl.
And he had an autographed pic
ture To prove it, with an inscrip-
ton that began with his own name
and continued with best wishes
to fine young American from an
old soldier, Dwight D. Eisenhower. u
Three other events connected
with the boys big day are worth
noting.
Saved Buying Turkey.
When Earl arrived home. his
three sisters and one brother were
there but not his mother. She was
cut shopping. Yes, for turkey.
Earls oldest sister rushed to the
grocery store in time to save his
mother from buying another.
But Joe Shelton couldn't. His
mother, Mrs. Joseph A. Shelton, al
ready had bird in the ice box
She was wondering yesterday if it
would keep for New Year Day.
Joe's reaction was to dash out and
buy a frame for the generals picture
which then got the honor spot on
top Of the family radio in the living
room.
At, the Sinallwood's house. every
body was busy yesterday putting
up the family tree when Eddie nom
chalantly came home with the
presents. There are seven other
children in the family, so the turkey
came in handy.
Eddie showed the picture of Gen.
Eisenhower to his father, Weather
Bureau employe, and his mother. He
explained that he had gone on the
trip to the Pentagon as last
minute substitute for another boy
who didn't show up. When Gen

Experts Claim U. 5. Cities
Can Be Freed OF Raqweed

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 8
-Ragweed, prime bane of 100000
hay fever victims, virtually can be
eliminated from American cities
within a few years time, two New
York City Health Department Off
cials said yesterday.
This would be vast forward
step in relief for hay fever suf-
ferers, because ragweed appears to
be primarily an urban rather than
rural growth.
Ragweed control through the
chemical 2. 4-D, which makes the
plants starve to death, was de-
scribed to . the American Public
Health Association meeting by DR..
Israel Weinstein, health commits
sioner, and Alfred H. Fletcher, d.
rector OF the departments Bureau
Of Sanitary Engineering.
Within a few years, they said,
ragweed virtually will be eliminated
in New York City's 300 square mile
limits by spraying begun two years
ago. And other cities can do the
same. Dozens of other cities and
towns have started such spraying
Spraying is done in time to kill
ragweed before 1t broadcasts pollen

proucers and American publishers
at a dinner here last night, Repre-
sentative Brown, Republican, of
Ohio, chairman of the special House
Newsprint Committee, declared he
thought the Justice Departments
action was extremely ill-advised. :"
He said he would not presume to
tell the Canadians what to do, but
recalled that he recently had had
dispute with the Wage and Hour
Division over operation of his print
ing business in Ohio and declared
he had told the division to "go to
hell"
Action Is Protested.
The Canadians, he added could
draw their own conclusions on his
opinions from that.
Premier George A. Drew of On
tario Province told Mr.. Brown:
Don't be surprised If we carry
out the exact suggestion you have
made"
Mr. Brown said his committee al
ready had protested the Justice De-
partnlent's efforts to force Canadian
companies supplying newsprint to
American publishers to produce their
records in American courts. The
Canadians are resisting the depart
ments action-taken in connection
with antitrust proceedings-on the
grounds that United States courts
lack jurisdiction over records in
Canada.
Mr.. Brown said the departments
action was ito say the least not in
keeping with that magnificent spirit
of international good will which has
been put forward as an example to
the whole world for so many years."
Committee Promised Records.
He declared he would be "ex-
tremely disappointed If any Cana
dian company complied with a sub
poena to produce its records in the
United States"
Mr.. Drew assured Mr. Brown that
all necessary newsprint records
would be available to his committee
any time it wants them.
Last nights banquet highlighted
the opening of a three-day con-
ference between Canadian officials
and producers and Mr.. Browns COM
mittee on the current newsprint
shortage.
The Ontario premier attributed
part of the shortage to a changeover
by some United States mills from
newsprint production to 'the pro-
duction of expensive papers of
various kinds from which very
much higher profit can be made"
