Nehru Charges Dutch
Challenge Asia With
|Action in Indonesia
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, Jan. 90
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
of India today labeled the Dutch
action in policies in Indonesia
"a challenge to newly awakened
Asia"
Opening the Donation Asian con-
ference on Indonesia, he told the
delegates and observers their imme-
diate objective should be restora-
ton of conditions existing before
the Dutch attack on the Indo-
nesian Republic.
Then, he declared, the republic
would be able to negotiate with the
Dutch as a free government.
He said the next step should be
elimination of colonialism," add
ing that Asia will no longer brook
any interference with her freedom
Three Aims Seen for Farley.
Mr.. Nehru said the conference,
representing half the circumfer-
ence of the globe and the greater
part of its population" was viewed
by the Indian government as hav-
ing three aims:
/. To restore peace in 1ndonesia
and early establishment Of Indo-
nesian independence.
2. To decide on a recommendation
of action to the United Nations Sc
curity Council in the event either
party to the dispute failed to carry
out the Councils instructions.
3. To devise machinery by which
members of the conference could
implement their decisions.
The Indian leader said that if the
Dutch program is not checked,
years of bitter strife and a wide
spread conflict will result.
Mr.. Nehru stressed several times
in his address the intention to aim
the conference toward elimination
of colonialism. He said India be-
lieved colonialism to be "the mega
ton of democracy and seed of con-
fiict."
He urged, however, that the con-
| ference fix its attention on the
Indonesian issue and not permit
itself to be distracted by other
world issues demanding the atten-
tion of governments represented
here.
This was interpreted as plea
not to introduce such subjects as
the Wet Nam French conflict or the
Middle East fighting, as has been
limited some delegates planned to
do.
The first conference session, open
to the public, was held in the wal
nut-paneled chamber OF the Indian
Assembly Building.
Dutch Ambassador A. T. Lamping
attended the session with other
members of the diplomatic corps
and was seated next to American
Ambassador 10y Henderson.
The Indonesian Republic was rep
resented by DR.. D. Soemitro and DR..
Soedarsono, Republican representa-
tive in New Delhi.
The New Zealand and Ethiopian
Representatives were the only ones
not present at the opening session.
Represented were India, Afghan
istan, Burma, Australia, Iran, Cey-
lon, Pakistan, the Philippines, Egypt,
Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq,
Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, China, Ne
pal and Siam.
Conference meetings following the
opening session will be closed and
held at Hyderabad House, the New
Delhi palace Of the NiEam of Hy-
derabad.

Some provision should be made for
ventilation and for taking out the
vegetables as needed.
In buying grass seed for the new
lawn or for reseeding the old one
it is highly desirable to note the
label or analysis statement print
ed on the package. Too many
packaged mixtures contain timo-
thy and perennial ryegrass, which
are not desirable lawn grasses.
Many of the packaged mixtures do
not contain desirable proportions
of adapted grasses such as Ken
lucky bluegrass, Alta fescue and
creeping red fescue. DR.. Fred
Grau, the grass specialist at Belts
vile, recommends a mixture con-
tanning at least SO per cent Ken
lucky bluegrass, some Alta fescue
and one Of the Colonial bent
grasses.
1llahee red feScue Is good, but
is not likely to be found in a
packaged mixture. Annual rye
grass is hardly to be desired in a
lawn grass mixture, but when
planted alone provides an excel
lent temporary winter turf.
Avoid mixtures containing
seeds of low termination, or con-
tanning excessive inert material

vides that the package be cor

In making concrete slabs for
the stepping-stone walk the first
step after determining the loca-
ton and pattern is to decide upon
shape and size of slabs. Many
walks have been built using 12x18
and 9x12 inch blocks. A 12x18
inch slab 4 inches thick weighs
about IS pounds. Forms for max
ing the slabs should be made from
heavy boards and 2x4s to hold the
weight without bulging.
One sack of cement is sufficient
for cubic feet of concrete. Two
cubic feet of sand and 3 cubic
feet of gravel or crushed stone
are the other ingredients. This is
a 1928 mixture and is stronger
than the 1-2-4 mixture commonly
used in sidewalks. Avoid dirty

It is not too late to pot up an

Select healthy, young. bushy

Just before a killing frost pull

Many gardeners desiring STEP
ping stone paths in their gardens
have considered making them OF
concrete. Only few have car
ried this idea through to final
construction.
Perhaps this is because they
have had unfavorable experiences
with them or it may be- that the
job seemed too big.
Concrete stepping stones may
be made with rather simple tools
and much of the work can be
done indoors during the winter.
In other words the necessary slabs
may be made at odd times when
other garden chores are at min
imum.
Most concrete stepping stones
are made in rectangular shape
and the walk pattern Is some SIM
pie arrangement of the slabs.
However, irregular patterns are
not difficult.
One or more wooden forms may
be made and the desired irregular
shape obtained by filling in with
plastic clay.
Several interesting patterns have
been achieved by cutting in the
sod with a stout butcher knife and
after the sod is lifted and the
dirt removed to a depth of or 8
inches, the sides are Smoothed
ready to receive the concrete mix
ture. This same procedure may
be used for rectangular slabs
where the surface of the lawn is
fairly level.
Formality Treatment.
A formal garden usually re-
quires geometrical arrangement
of the slabs in the walk.
A path through a shady infor-
NAL garden might well be- of ir-
regular shaped stones colored inI
subdued tones OF green or brown.
Soft colors tend to subdue the
harshness of concrete and might
well be more widely employed.
Much OF the effectiveness of q
stepping stone walk depends upon
the suitable arrangement of the
stones and in having them Of
adequate size for easy walking.
Good arrangement Is needed to
make the walk attractive and in
harmony with the surroundings.
The walk should not be so wide
as to dominate the garden. The
width should depend largely upon
the traffic which it is made to
carry. A path foot wide is ade-
quate for infrequently used areas.
The maximum width will seldom
be more than feet. If the traffic
requires a greater width a con-
crete walk is probably needed.
To be practicable the stepping !
stones should be substantial-firm
to step and so laid that they re-
main level. The first prerequisite
Is sufficient size and depth. Four
inches should be the guide as to
thickness. Even small slabs Of this
thickness will have sufficient
mass-weight that they do not tilt
easily. Furthermore a 4-inch slab
has sufficient strenth so that it
will not crack except under a very
heavy load.
Watch Drainage Problem.
The laying of a stepping stone
walk Of any material should be
carefully planned and executed
If it Is to remain in good condition
for a considerable period. Poorly |
drained soils may necessitate the |
laying of a tile drain below the |
walk to carry away excess mois-
ture and to prevent heaving dur |
ing periods of freezing and
thawing. In well drained soils a
2 to 4 inch layer of packed sand
should provide adequate drainage.
To determine the need for
drainage. dig a hole and f1ll with
water. If 1t does not drain away
within q few hours the soil is
