 The Washington conference on Britain's financial plight was re- ported today to be making good progress along the lines of stop gap aid. Some infOrmants said the representative of Britain, Canada and the United States would con- clude their major talks by Monday night.
 Four committees have drawn up major recommendations to help Britain earn more dollars. These center around:
 1. The purchasing of more raw rubber from Britain by the United States to supplant synthetic rub Der
 2. Permission for Britain to spend Marshall Plan money in the purchase of Canadian wheat. The | Economic Cooperation administra- l tion requires that Marshall plan countries purchase U. s. farm pro- ducts in surplus supply.
 3. A smoothing out of U. s. cus- toms regulations. However, there can be no tinkering with the tar ifs without Congressional approv- al.
 1. Expansion of American over seas investments to put more dol lars to work in the world.
 Authorities in China's wavering Yunnan province began purge of communists today. Gov. Lu Han of this southwest province last week declared his independence of the nationalist government. But he is now reported back in the government fold.

 The official Central News agen- cy said peasant uprisings were spreading in North China and com muniSt forces were not strong enough to cope with them.
 At St. Cergue, Switzerland, pr. Brock Chisholm, director general of the World Health Organization said the atom bomb has been rem dered obsolete by germ weapons.

Pullman Porter
Retires; Home Built
With TIPS

NEW ORLEANS, La. - (ANP) -
After 80 consecutive years as a Pull

20, resigned here last week to spend
the remainder of his life in a coy
little home built with the savings

Hill, originally a native of Mobile,
Ala, was described by a former
Louisiana governor as "the world
greatest pullman porter" Through.
out his many years of service he
never received a demerit. In later
years of his age, he was given the
short run between here and Monroe,
La.
Happy was Hill - last week when
he received from the Pullman Co.,
a certificate of service and a person.
al letter from c. r. Harding, presi.
dent of the company, thanking him
for his years of faithful and out
standing service and wishing him
many years of health and happiness.
A gold and platinum button was
likewise presented the honored
guest.
When Louisiana industrialists
learned of the companys plan to re-
tire Hill numerous protests were
forwarded the Pullman office, re-.
questing that he be continued on the
run. But company orders are orders
and Hill was obliged to be relieved
from his long and arduous services
to an apparently grateful travelling
public.
Should he ever tire from being
idle, he'll never want for job, for
already he is flooded with offers
from many of the riding industra-
lists who are eager to have 1.-The
worlds greatest" former Pullman
Porter in their employ.
But from now on says Hill, it's
Mrs. Hill, the chickens and flowers
that will get his attention in the

Knoxville To Send

Nursing School Under
Regional Plan

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - (ANP) =
The city of Knoxville will utilize the
Southern Regional plan for educa-
ton to provide nurse training for
Negro women without sending them
to the citys school at General hos
pital.
Under the regional plan Knox
vile will pay for 20 colored students
to attend the nursing school at Me-
harry Medical college 200 miles
away.
Negroes for the past few years
continually had complained against
the city hospital which refused to
train colored students in the field
of nursing. The current plan is the
result of an agreement between the
hospital authorities on one hand and
the Negro side led by the Rev. w.
T. Crutcher and DR.. j. H. Clark on
the other.

dialogue ensued when she told Mr..
Of that Mr.: Geisler, an attorney
for Mrs. Moreno, had been in
volved in an auto accident last
October:
"Mr. OF asked me, Was he
killed?' I replied, No. he was in
jured.' Then Mr.. Off said. He
made mess of it. Why didn't he
| kill him. Then he said that he
was to pay Is or 20 thousand dol
lars to Jimmy Williams and he
hadn't made a perfect job
Mr.. Giesler was in hospital
for a week after his car smashed
into a tree. The attorney said his
throttle apparently stuck and he
was unable to slow. down for

nothing to Mr.. Off,, She said she
gave the will to Mr.. Off but
charges that it never was filed.

Cattle Grubs
Two years of experimental work
indicates that two treatments well
timed and properly applied will give
good control of grubs. Spraying with
tx pounds of 5 percent rotenone
per 100 gallons of water to which
a package of a detergent has been
added has given best results to date.
Probably one gallon of spray per ami
NAL is the minimum needed for a
good job.
A minimum pressure of 400 pounds
pounds up to 600 pounds if available
is recommended. The cone shaped
spray should be held perpendicular
to the animals back and not over
Is inches away. Surest kills of the
grubs have been obtained by spray
ing ono and then going over the ami
mails backs with a dulled hoe with
corners rounded and then spraying
again.
The time to spray is within a week
after the grubs are ready to drop
out of the animals hide. The second
spraying should be so days later if
late grubs are a problem. Ranchers
should check animals for grub con-
ditions starting in January and con-
tinuing to July in some areas. Com
munity action is necessary if grubs
are to be eliminated in an area.

Deep rooted perennials such as
Canadian thistle, SOW thistle, white

economically by a combination of

2,4-D application, in any case, must

Chemical Meeting Outlines
Farm, Livestock Uses
By JERRY LESTER

2,4-D has not been successful in
cereal grains but may have a place
in corn if conditions are right. Too
little rain after pre-emergence treat
ments results in 2,4-D being left on
the soil surface, while too much
washes the chemical below the weed
seed level so that no control is OBJ
tanned.
IPC shows promise in controlling
certain grass weeds in pre-emergence
treatments, but here again the condi-
tons above apply.
Care must be taken in using 2,4-D
to prevent drift to nearby susceptible
crops, ~shelterbelts or gardens.
Dinitro-type contact herbicides
have been used successfully on peas,
flax, cereal grains and some seed
ling legumes. Temperatures must be
warm, weeds small and no rain for
several hours following application
for good results. 2,4-D will work
under more adverse conditions and
is cheaper.
Tests show no reduction in ger
mination of seed produced by a 2,4-D
treated crop.
Protein content of wheat is not
increased by 2,4-D application.
Test weights may be higher as a
result of weed control.
Weeds must be present in the crop
to make 2,4-D application pay off.
PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL
Recommendations from a report
by James Krall, assistant agronomist,
Central Montana branch station,
Moccasin-
Objective in any perennial weed
control program is to deplete root re-
serves of underground root systems,
These root reserves are lowest two
weeks after emergence and during
budding, so either chemical or tillage
weed control operations should be
more successful at this time.
First 2,4-D application or tillage
operation should be made wher
weeds are in budding stage. Re
peated chemical application or till
age is then needed from 10 to l.
days after each new crop of weet
seedlings comes through the soil.
Shallow rooted p~erennials such a
quack grass and Johnson grass ar
most easily controlled by continu
Jus cutting of the roots and bring
ing them to the surface to dry. TIL
new chemical TEA has given iron
fair to good results, however, o.
shallow rooted perennials. Wee
roots have to pick up TEA directly
