 Making growing condition to order is a common ri Ch of farmers. Of course, in nearly all inst ances it is inposs ible, but by preparing a hotbed in which to grow seedl ings, this desired condit ion can be made realitv--for the gerrnination period of certain plants, at least. By spending a little t inc and money for a hotbed for such plants as cabbage, lettuce tomatoes, celery and others the growing season will be heightened and an earlier harvest is possible.
 Electr ically heated hotbeds are more con- venient and effici tent than most others. Kits containing a thornostat, soil cable, ard direct ions for installation are avail able at most garden equipment stores. They are not expensive, no. is the use of elect ricity prohibitive in cost as the 5oo-Uatt units only use from II to 9 kilouatt- hours per day.

Mr.. Lewis, however, is barred from

Lewis from insisting on the union
shop provision. The petition for an
injunction was withdrawn.
In his motion for dismissal of Mr..
Denham's charges, Mr.. Lewis said
all the evidence is that the miners
want the union shop provision. He
said they have had it since 1941
and, this year, when the "captives"
were slow in accepting it, the min
ers went on strike for a week.
The Lewis motion also disclosed
that in the negotiations he had
offered to submit signed authorize

|Red Indictments Remind Smith
|Of House Battle to Enact Law

Indictment of u Communist lead
ers on charges Of advocating over
throw Of the Government reminded
Representative Smith, Democrat, Of
Virginia, today of the hard fight he
encountered In ramming through
the responsible legislation eight
years ago.
With the clouds of war lowering
ever nearer, Mr.. Smith introduced
in the House measure to
strengthen the immigration Act of
1917.
After stormy debate, it passed by
about 40 votes but was lost that Ses-
sion in a Senate committee pigeon
hole.
It was only after Hitler invaded
the Lowlands that the Senate took
stock and adopted the legislation in
1910, Mr.. Smith recalled.
No Communist batter, but an ar
dent foe of any with designs on our
kind of government, the Virginian
admitted he was pleased yesterday
that his bill was responsible for in
dictment Of William z. Foster,
chairman of the Communist Party
in this country, and other leaders.
Has Seen Results From Law.
THAT is, it is a good thing, if the
prosecution has enough evidence
that they are conspiring to over
throw the Government, as the in
dictments indicate Mr.. Smith said.
1t is not the first time he has
seen results from the law. 1t was
pressed into immediate use before
the war, when about 100000 for
eign born persons were registered
and fnger-printed.
It was used unsuccessfully in an
attempt to deport Harry Bridges,
West Coast labor leader. Bridges,
in fact, was one of the reasons the
immigration Act was strengthened.
The Government had tried with
out avail to evict Bridges since 1888.
A weakness in the law at that time
gave immunity to any one who
could prove he was not then a Com
munist. One of the features of
the Smith bill made liable for de-
portation person who at any time
had belonged to the party.
Other features of the law came in
for liberal testing during the war
years.
For instance, it forbade any per-
Evening star., 1948-07-22

son to encourage impairment OF the
morale, loyalty or discipline of the
military or naval forces or to adj
wise, counsel, urge or In any manner
encourage characterization, mutiny,
disloyalty or refusal to duty.
Calls for Deportation.
The Smith Act requires the Gov
ernment to deport any alien ad-
vocating overthrow of the Govern
ment and holds him accountable for
such actions up to five years after
entrance into the United States.
After that, violations subject the
offender to a possible $4,000 fine,
10 years imprisonment, or both.
The section catching up with the
Communist Party leaders this week
makes it unlawful for any person
knowingly or willfully to advocate,
abet, advise or teach the duty. ne
cessity, desirability or propriety OF
overthrowing the Government.
It likewise is illegal to print and
distribute printed matter advocating
oyerthrowing the Government and
to organize any group with that in
tention.
Mr.. Smith said today he believes
the act he fathered still is entirely
adequate to cope with the question
of subversive influence.
"The bill goes about as far as it
should" he said, pointing out that
he was not altogether in accord
with any movement to outlaw the
Communist Party. Paradoxically
he voted for the now dormant
Mundt-Nixon bill that would outlaw
party members.
'The test for application of the
law should not be whether the in
dividual is a Communist, Democrat,
Republican or Baptist, but whether
he is advocating overthrowing the
Government by revolutionary meth
ods," Mr.. Smith said.
