 Ernest Bevin Britains foreign minister had caught on at once however to the tremendous possibilities
 He listened to Marshalls June speech the radio Then he read the full text He at called in the Brit ish cabinet.
 On June 13, Bevn let off an enthusiastic hurrah about the plan.
 "It is real attempt to create healthy world" he said.
 Next day Georges Bdaut French foreign minister telephoned Bevin from Paris suggesting hudde. The two men met three days later.
 They invited Russia into the talks. Moscow henmed and hawed but finally sent Mootov, complete with ve- toes
 He raised one objection after another and finally went home in huff Bevn and Bidault decided to go ahead without Russia.
 They invited all the nations of Europe except Spain to come in the deal (Span is in the position of an outcast. Not to be trusted or dealt wth).
 On July 27 representatives of sixteen nations accept ed the invitation by sending representatives to Paris

 The nations that refused to come in Russia Fin y and Czechoslovakia.
 The sixteen nations drew up their program, calling it the report of the Committee European Economic Co-Operation-CEEC.
 This report was submitted to Secretary Marshall in Washington Sept 22 and by Marshall to President Tru- 
 It pledged the sixteen nations to:
 Make strong productive efforts both in industry and agriculture
 Stabilize their money and internal finances
 Cooperate with each other at all times.
 Try to figure out way to pay their debts chiefly owed to us, by increasing their exports
 Those were the four main points. Getting more spe- cfc they set down eight definite items of coop erative self help:

Russian Mark LOSING
Value as Result Of
Collapse Of ParIeys
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BERLIN, Sept. %. - Berliners
have lost some of their faith in
Russian issued marks since the lat
est blowup of four-power talks on
the blockade of the former German
capital.
1t became apparent today that the
so-called East marks issued by the
Soviet authorities are steadily drop
ping in value. At no time was the
"Ostmark" considered equal to the
Western "DeAtsche mark" on a
-for-one basis, even by ardent
Communists.
The tangled political situation has
been reflected somewhat in black
market quotations on German cur
rency here during the past week.
While there still seemed hope that
the four occupying nations were
getting somewhere in their conver-
sations about lifting the Soviet-i i'm.
posed blockade of Berlin, the Rus
sian "Ostmark" was being traded at
the rate of between two and three
for one West mark.
AS of last night, the Ostmark was
quoted at 3.9 to one Deutsche mark
This is almost the lowest point the
Soviet mark has reached since mid
summer a short time after the dual
East West currency refroin.

Free State Forestry
j. Z. Paulhamus

With the spring planting season
just around the corner, little in
formation on actual planting methods
may not be out of place. Anyone who
has worked with plants or has
planted other trees may have no
questions; however the following ma
terial is presented for those who are
not familiar with tree planting cpcr-
atious
Where considerable number of
trees are to be planted, the system
used should be such that the maxi
mum amount Of trees may be planted
at minimum cost, while still OBJ
tanning satisfactory results.
In many places a two man crew
has proved to be quite efficient; one
working ahead with planting bar
or a mattock opening the plant
ing holes and the other man follow
ing him up, planting the trees and
closing the holes. In opening the hole,
the bar or mattock may be rocked
back and forth and an opening left
in the ground which will usually stay
open as the ground should be moist
at this time of the year. The tree
should then be held along one side of
the hole and the dirt well firmed
around the roots with the foot.
The trees should be planted at the
original depth or from one quarter to
one half inch deeper than they were
in the nursery The original ground
line is usually rather easily deter
mined on the tree stem. Care should
be taken that the roots are not
doubled up, cramped or turned up
when the dirt is put back into the
opening.
Where sod is present on the field
or area to be planted, it should be
skinned back from the tree to reduce
competition for soil moisture and
light Frost heaving may also be more
prevalent in sod. Where the ground is
suited to it, the sod or other compct-

Danger Signals For

are strongly recommended, $

age or date Of last physical eXamin-
alton.
"Sevcn danger signs that may indi-
cate the presence Of cancer should be
known to everybody. They are:
1. Any sore that does not heal par
ticularly about the tongue, mouth or
lips.
2. A painless lump or thlckening
especially in the breast, lip or tongue
3. Irregular bleeding or discharge

/. Progressive change in color or
size Of wart, mole or birthmark.
5. Persisten Indigestion.

7. Any change in normal bowel

1t is important to remember these

mans main group reliance, have all
these men on their black lists as "ene-
mics of labor" Their avowed purpose
is to drive them out of public life. The
selection of one of them as the Tru-
man running mate seems a clear alb
surdity. Yet, by some Administration
"strategists" the names of certain
men on these lists apparently contin-
ne to be seriously considered" 1t
ought to be clear that Mr.. Truman
cannot have it both ways. Certainly
he cannot get the labor-b boss support
because of his veto of the bill and
then, by making one of them his run
ming mate, gain the support of those
who thought that veto a great mis-
take. At once the bosses would begin
to below that they had been be
trayed"-and they would have reason
to.

ported Mr.. Truman for second place
in 1914 he insisted he first be cleared

voted for or approved the Taft-Hart-

without complete qualification. Mr.
Truman could not get any first-grade
man to do that. OF course, the only
running mate who makes sense this
time is one who either voted against
or was known definitely to disapprove
the Taft-Hartley bill. Under the cir

association composed of extreme New
Dealers, largely without influence or
| following), is likely to affect the stu
alton SO far as the General is con-
cened. Their purpose is too trans
parent.
This sort of attack from this kind
of politician should do Mr.. Truman
more good than harm. 1t differs from
the real revolt in the South in that
there is neither conviction nor princi-
pie behind it but only a peculiarly
sordid and selfish species Of big-city
politics 1t will not change the basic
fact that, though defeat is threatened.
Mr.. Truman will make a better Demo-
cratic showing than any other avail
able man. If he should be scared out
by raucous publicity n d cheap
threats, in the language of the pre-
cinct boys, it would, indeed, be kitty,
Bar the Door" Not much heed is Civ
en- to this idea by the Administration
"strategists," but from some a lament
is heard that the concededly dim
chances of Democratic success make
it more difficult to fill the second
place on the ticket Perhaps, they are
right about this; but it does not mat
ter whether they are or not.
For the whole discussion of the vice
presidential nominee is based on two
totally unsound assumptions. The
first is that it is essential to balance"
the ticket geographically. That is to
say the vice presidential candidate
must not come from the same section
of the country as the head of the
ticket. The second is that the essenti
al quality for the vice presidential
candidate is ability to carry his own.
Neither theory is worth anything at
all
The plain fact is that it makes little
difference who has the second place.
Of course, it would be disadvantage
Gus to name a grossly unfit man.
After all, seven Vice Presidents have
succeeded to the presidency through
the death of the President and at
least surface qualifications to meet
that contingency are required. Also,
it would seem absurd to nominate for
second place a man whose record and
views were not in accord with those
Of the head of the ticket on the main
issues of the campaign. That would
tend to make the ticket ridiculous.
For example, it would be silly to
nominate with Mr. Truman, whom
the organized labor bosses support
because he vetoed the Taft-Hartley
bill, man who either voted for that
bill or believes Mr.. Truman made
mistake in vetoing it. Five members
Of the Truman Cabinet hold that be-
lief and a clear majority Of Demo
cratic members Of Congress not only
voted for the bill but voted to over
ride the Truman veto Without them,
of course, it could never have become
law.
