CAp0NE GANG PAROLES GO BACK 10 JAIL

WASHINGTON, Nov IA Rl - Two former members of the ol. Al Capone gang have lost a Su' preme Court fight to remain out ol prison on paroles granted in l947.
 They are Lcuis Compagna an, Charlie Gioe, one time associates of the late Chicago mobster, wh, had served third of their ten year sentences in the Atlanta Pen itentiary before they were freed Later their paroles were revoke after a Congressional investigation
 The Supreme Court decided the case with a A vote in which Justice Clark took no part. No opinion was written and the votes of the individual judges were not disclosed
 A tie vote upholds the decision oi the lower court, in this case the U. s. Circuit Court in New Orleans.
 Compagna and Gioe were among a group sentenced in New York City fer conspiring to extort more than S1,O00,o0O from the movie in- dustry. They were paroled Aug. 13. 1947 by the U. $. Parole Board.
 The New Orleans Circuit Court, although ruling against Compagna and G!oe, specified that they should be permitted to file new pleading if they wished to do so.
 Thus their return to prison may be considerably delayed.
 Compagna generally spells his name "Campagna' but the appeal papers follow the other spelling throughout.

Of course, it isn't an easy job.
Parents must show considerable
patience day after day. There's no

agreed, however, that the start
should be made during the months

Dear Mr.. Editor:

Please allow me space to .ex-
press myself about a letter which
appeared in the AVIS of Dec. 80,
written by Mr.. Regalado Benitez
tGalo). 1t is true that it is the
right of every individual to look
himself a place to live under the
sun; no one is trying to deny that,
and living in ST. Croix for II yrs.
has nothing to do with Mr.. BENZ
tiz's attitude towards the native
workers at Sion Farm. What Gallo
would like the general public to
believe is one thing, but what the
workers at Sion Farm know from
experience is quite another thing.
MI. Gallo you say that you do
not put natives off their jobs be-
cause you find it not easy to do
so, but you surely find a way of
making it difficult for us in many
ways to get equal opportunities
with the other group, so why
make this appeal to the general

up set can be used until q child is
nine or ten years old.
Early exposure to fine and beau.
tiful things like silverware gives
a child q splendid start in learn
ing an appreciation and respect
for that which is beautiful.
Alittle girl, for example, should
be encouraged by her mother to
help set the table. She can't harm
the silver by dropping it. There
fore, she could-place the knives,
forks and spoons while the mother
is arranging china and glassware.
Whether the little girl realizes it
or not, she'll be receiving a lesson
in etiquette and art appreciation.
Children and parents, too

satisfaction from family dinners
if the youngsters have been taught
good table manners at an early
age.

Farmers Hear Grass
Silage Discussed

Grass silage and its place in the
cropping system was one of the top
les under discussion when Maryland
farmers met in Baltimore last week.
-Four reasons were given for the in
creasing use of grass silagc: CD tall
growing pasture mixtures with or
chard grass and ladino clover are
outyielding blue-grass-White clover
pasture and may be cut early for
silage and later for hay, GU the use
of alfalfa is increasing and many
farmers put the first cutting in the
silo because it is ready to cut before
good curing weather arrives, CD
acreage reduction programs on wheat
and corn are expected to leave idle
land for which the farmer must find
some use, and ca increased use of
grass and legumes for silage makes
it easier to control soil erosion be-
cause the need for cultivated crops
is reduced.
Crop specialists at the University
of Maryland do not expect grass
silage to replace corn as the number
one silage crop. However, they point
out that modern equipment, such as
the forage harvester, makes the pro-
duction of grass silage much easier
Dairy specialists state that some
experiments show that good grass
silage is equal to wcll-eared corn
silagc. Mixtures containing a fair
amount Of legumes are higher in pro-
tein, calcium, PHOSPHORUS and caro-
