French Reach Safety
After Abandonment
OF Indo-China Post
BY the Associoted Press

SAIGON, o-China. Oct. IA
A French military spokesman said
today rear guards of the French
garrison retreating from it's former
northern stronghold of Thatkhe
are fighting scattered actions COW
ering their withdrawal.
He added that the bulk of the
garrison has reached the COM
parative safety of Nacham, Is
miles southeast of the evacuated
frontier post.
Thatkhe is the third frontier
post given up by the French in
month under pressure from Wet
Mini rebels led by Moscow-trained
Ho Chi Mimi. The French
abandoned Dongkhe, 60 miles
northwest of Langson, in mid
September and pulled out of Gao
bang garrison with heavy losses
last week.
The spokesman estimated that
Wet Mini forces have suffered
considerable casualties in three
hard-fought engagements in Co.
chin China. The battles were al

| His reference to the growth of
bank credit served to. revive spec
ulation that the banks next move
may be to increase the reserve re-
quirements of banks and thus cut
potential lending power by about
$2.5 billion.
At the beginning of September
total consumer credit stood at
almost $21 billion, an all-time
high. This included $13 billion
in installment credit. also new
high; charge accounts totaling
$3.6 billion and $4.3 in single pay
ment loans of commercial banks
and pawnbrokers and service
credit.
Mr.. Nee said that in recent
weeks installment sales have de-
clined and that the Reserve Board
makes a mistake when it bulks
together bank credit and con-
Fsumer installment credit. Bank
credit can be increasing while in

He said the retailers have in
formed the Reserve Board of its
belief that further credit curbs
were not necessary at this time
but the advice has been ignored
He said at least three months
should have been allowed tc
weigh the effects of the September
18 order and that the Reserve
Board had been asked to make
no changes for 100 days.
"The Federal Reserve Board is
moving aleaQ On a pTeCOnCelVeC

consideration to facts as they
actually exist" he said. He added
that the board was showing ar
amazing lack of judgment"
Government economists have
been urging more stringent credit
controls and higher taxes as curbs
on initiation. When Congress re-
turns it is expected to be asked
for excess profits taxes on cor
Iporations and for higher income
taxes on individuals.
These higher taxes are regarded
as necessary not only as imitation
brakes but also to keep the budget
in balance as more and more is
spent for defense.

Dulles Due 10 Reveal
Details ofU. ). Plan
To Curb Aggression
BY the Associafed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 14.-The
United States expects to keep its
hard-won initiative in the United
Nations today by introducing a
new version of its anti-aggres-
sion plan.
Republican Adviser John Foster
Dulles met late into the night with
representatives of the other spon-
soring powers-Britain, France
Canada, Turkey. the Philippines
and Uruguay-in a move to incor-
porate features into the resolution
which will insure its acceptance by
all members except. possibly. the
Soviet bloc.
Details Of the plan will be re-
vealed at noon when Mr.. Dulles
will explain them to newsmen
They will then be circulated to
delegates for study over the week
end and debate will begin in the
60-nation Political Committee
Monday.
Details Kept Secret.
Meanwhile, they are being kept
secret to prevent premature leak
to the Russians.
Informed quarters feel the
Western world has Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
off balance and wants to keep
him that way. In past years, they
say. the Russians have picked
their own ground for East-West
fights. Now that the West has
taken the lead. it is determined to
make Mr.. Vishinsky battle where
the terrain is least advantageous
to him.
The present resolution-whose
basic aim is to get around Rus
sia's Security Council vetof by
giving the General Assembly mill
tary power to resist aggression
Is one indication of revitalized
Western attitude.
Another was the U. N. inter
vention in Korea and adoption by
the world body of Britain's plan
for an independent, unified, dem
ocratic Korea.

Cow Cafeteria in VirQiniu
Research Farm to Determine Effect
Of Grass on Cattle and Reverse

Cattle are acting the part of
guinea pigs at the Northern Vir-
.ginia Pasture Research Station
near Middleburg, Va.
There, Scientists aim to find out
what effect the animals themselves
have on the sod on the stand of
pasture grasses. They also want
to know what effect, INTENTIONALLY
speaking. different grasses have
on cattle.
This is known as the animal
pasture complex" In the past, the
moving machine was used to
simulate graZing-becauSe there
ordinarily was not enough land at
research centers to accommodate
animals. But the researchers were
unable to learn about the feed
value of the herbage; neither could
they chart the behavior of the
herbage under grazing conditions
!. A plant, it is believed, will react
quite differently when it is clipped
and when it is grazed.
The animals and the pastures
are watched closely at Middleburg

preferences noted, and various
management practices compared.
In one experiment, a Cow cafe
terra" has been set up-where the
animals are allowed to take their
choice of six pasture species and
mixtures. The researchers are
finding that the mixture which the

in charge. has a theory that a cow
can get just as tired of steady
diet ofeone pasture species or mix
ture as man can of ham and
eggs for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, days on end.
The animals seem to uphold his
theory. For example, animals
which have been grazing a mix
ture of orchard grass and ladino
clover eat a considerable amount
OF Kentucky 81 feScue in pure
stand-although ordinarily the
pure stand of fescue is the least
tasty of the six. On the other
hand, animals which have been

The ladino clover and orchard

reputation as so-called queen of
the pasture grasses in Virginia. I"
1t generally is first choice at the
cow cafeteria. A mixture of Ken
lucky 81 feScue and ladino clover
is second choice.
Since the station is new few re-
suits from the research projects
are available. But the future of
grassland farming in Virginia is
being mapped there.
Researchers have established
projects on pasture renovation, eff

Life in the Country
Peaches, Even Power Shovets
Get Away From You Sometimes

Things have a habit of getting
away from George Williams, who
lives up in Romney, w. Va. That
is why Senator Kilgore, a fellow
West Virginia Democrat, didn't
get his peaches.
The first thing that got away
from Mr.. Williams, a former West
Virginia State Senator, was a
diesel shovel. Now, you would
think that an item as large as a
power shovel wouldn't be too hard
to keep track of, but this one
vanished overnight.
When the Williams family went
to bed one night, there it was just
as it had been for several months.
The next morning it was gone.
When next heard from, it was up
in New York State, and still is
as far as any one knows.
But about the peaches.
The Williams peach orchards
are famous for miles around
Romney. If there is any peach
crop, you can count on the Sena-
tors orchards coming through
with the best.
1t was like that this year, and
the Senator picked out a basket
of the very finest to send down
to the Senator in Washington.
Each peach was hand-picked
Senator Williams said each was
perfectly formed and had just the
right amount of red color.
The peaches were tucked away
in a corner of the warehouse to
await shipping arrangements. The
Senator. having personally selected
them, wanted to make arrange
