Eock PHOSPHATE
PROVES DISAPPOINTING

Raw rock phosphate applied as
fertilizer to the light colored,
low organic matter soils of north
eastern Ohio has not resulted in
as large increases in crop yields
as those obtained from superpho-
sphate, according to c. E. Evans,
Agronomist at the Ohio Agricult-
ural Experiment Station.
In these tests, the two materials
were compared when applied in
either equivalent rates or equiv
alent money values, and both in
combination with manure and
alon. Raw rock phosphate, for
merly referred to as floats" con-
tains only 33 percent phosphoric
acid as an average, whereas super
phosphate most commonly con-
tains only 20 percent phosphoric
acid, yet superphosphate sells for
about "a dollars per ton and raw
rock phosphate about "a dollars
per ton. However, the phosphoric
acid contained in superphosphate
is almost completely soluble in
dilute ammonium citrate and
readily available to plants, where
as that contained in raw rock
phosphate is insoluble in dilute
ammonium citrate and difficulty
available to most plants.
AS the time level of the soil
has been increased, continues
Evans, performance of rock pho
sphate has been less favorable as
compared to superphosphate in
some experiments. Crop rotations
used in these comparisons were
corn-oats-wheat-clover, corn-oats-
alfalfa, and corn-oats, sweet clo-
yer green manure crop.
Rotations containing two years
of legume grass meadow should
be better able to utilize phosphor-
us from raw rock form than rot
ations containing more grain
crops, particularly if the legume
is alfalfa. However, rotations con-
tanning alfalfa, other legumes,
and grasses prefer soils of high
lime level for maximum yield, a
situation less favorable to the use
of raw rock phosphate.
In some Ohio tests in which
rock phosphate was the only
source of phosphate, some medi-
ocre increases in crop yields were
obtained. Tests in other states
also have shown better results
when rock phosphate has been
supplemented with superphos-
phate. Because of this, current in
vestigations are being undertaken
in Ohio relative to the value Of
rock phosphate when used in conf
bination with superphosphate as
well as when used alone on sew
eral important soils in Ohio.

 The island is vital link on the great circle air route from the states to the Orient.
 The dispatch said the Civil Aer- onautics Administration said it has no funds to keep the Shemya air base open.
 "If we are going to spend IA to 16 billion a year for defense of the country, and can't spend $1,- 500,000 to keep the Shemya base open, something is wrong with our security thinking" Magnuson was quoted.
 He took the problem up with military authorities yesterday.
 The dispatch said Magnuson con- tended Alaska would be in better position to take care of the prob lem itself if it were a state.

With a stroke of his pen, Federal Judge George w. Folta today off cially enlarged Juneau to include the Highlands. and the city's census went up to include some 80 more families.
 A recent special election by both Juneauites and Highlanders indi- cated an overwhelming desire by property-owners in both locations to get together. To make it official, the order of election had to be signed by the federal judge, and that does it.
 Street maintenance begins imme- diately in the new northern suburb, but no taxes will be collected yet, because that season has passed for the nonce.

PEACE TERMS PUT ON LINE
 BY A(HE50N
No Mention Made of Rus- sia But Remarks Di-
 reeted 10 Kremlin
(By the Associated Press)

U. s. Secretary of State Acheson has laid down Americas peace terms for ending the cold war with Russia He predicted in advance they would not be acceptable to the Soviet Union.
 In two west coast speeches, Ache son outlined seven-point program to span major difference between the East and West.
 His speeches, though delivered tc the American people, were really directed at the Kremlin. They must be taken as an answer to recen, kites flown by Russian leaders whc said Communism and capitalism can live peacefully in one world.
 Acheson laid American terms on the line in tough, blunt language. The seven points he offered the Russians, if accepted, would mean Communist surrender without firing a shot. In effect he asked the Con- munistS to stop belng Communists
 Although the leaders of the two most powerful nations in the world are talking to each other by means of political speeches in their home territory there is historical sig nificance in their remarks. The terms for peace are high but there is an indication the bargaining has begun despite the fact an ocean and continent separate the nego- tiators.
 Acheson held out gloomy prospect for those wishing an early end to the costly cold war. But he said the terms he outlined were the only ones on which he could negotiate with out betraying the principles of the American people.

Three Billion Cut Wanted Plus One Billion Cut AL
 ready Made in Bill

WASHINGTON, March 17-LRr- House Republicans aimed lew $3 ,O0O, 100000 cut today at lump sum S3O.3OO.OOO,o0O appropriation bill already tentatively trimmed by $l 100000.
 The bill carries most of Presi- dent Truman's budget recommends tions for federal agencies for the 1851 fiscal year. starting next July l. It is due to be considered by the House Appropriations Committed starting next Monday and is slated for floor debate March 27
 The tentative reduction was re- ported by members of the powerful central" subcommittee of the ap- propriations group. The cut does not affect foreign aid funds, nor does it apply to the so-called permanent and indefinite appropriations and trust funds which cannot be trim med. All together they account for s12.000,000, ,000.
 The committee action would make the federal deficit for the fiscal year 1851 about $4000, 900, ,000-- assuming that Congress sticks to it's apparent determination not to raise taxes this year.
 Another cut of $3,000000,000 in the omnibus measure would lower the anticipated deficit to Sl 000.- 00,000, and that it what COP fiscal leaders are driving for.
 If we are going to get close to balanced budget, this bill ought to be around $26,000 100000" Rep. Taber (R-NY) told newsmen. Taber, top Republican on the appropria- tions group, would not comment on the reported cut of $1,200.000. .000 already tentatively made.

ATTORNEY IS GIVEN
 GALL DOWN
Judge Admonishes De- fense Counsel in Argu-
 ments in Bridges Case

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17--IR Federal Judge George B. Harris sharply admonished defense at torney in the Harry Bridges pei jury trial today not to interrupt the pro- secution's talk to the jury.
 Judge Harris told attorney James MacInnis that prosecutor F. Joseph Donohue was entitled 'in ordinary courtesy" to proceed without inter- ruption, except for crucial objec- tions.
 MacInnis several times yesterday was admonished by the court not to interrupt Donohue.
 Today the defense lawyer broke in when Donohue was attacking Bridges alibi which attempted to show he could not have been at a Communist party central committee meeting at New York City June 27, 1886, as prosecution witnesses had said he was.
 T don't think that latitude in argument allows for misstatement of evidence" MacInnis replied to the courts admonition.
 When our turn comes I hope we won't impose on the court by mis- quoting testimony" MacInnis con- tinued. "If we do, we'll invite cor rection."
 Donohue is expected to conclude his summation to the jury today and then the defense will begin its arguments.

 Lloyd H. Sidener. A. former Pre- sident of Local 7455, Canton, said m an interview that Lewis, while publicly ordering his miners to end the strike, used a system of secret signals down through the anks which ordered them to con- inue the strike. z

DEvALUATI0Np PUTS
 FISH TAX SPREAD
 DOWN, SAYS JUDGE

The $45 difference between fish ing license fees for resident and nonresident fishermen now under dispute in federal court, nowadays is mot as much" as the S24 differ ence of the old law. according to Judge George w. Folta.
 Judge Folta brought this out when arguments in the tax dispute now before him were started by William L. Paul, Jr., attorney for the Alaska Fishermen's Union, who claimed the difference between $50 for non-residents and $5 for resi- dents was too great spread.
 The 18th legislature raised the tax from $25 for outsiders and Sl for Alaskans to the present figures, challenged as "discrimatory" by the union. The Territory is defendant in the case, and is represented hy J. Gerald Williams, attorney general and John Dimond, his assistant
 Paul, following conclusion of testi- mony given by Thomas s. Parke enforcement officer and special deputy for the tax commission, who appeared for the defense, began his summarizing argument by striking at the spread between the fees. He said the old licenses of $5 and $1 were reasonable and the later taxes of $25 and S1 were the same, be- cause they had been okehed ill a court case some years ago.
 Dollar Down
 But now this spread is too much, he said.
 At this point Judge Folta broke is to say:
 But the SPA difference in those days was much more than the S4s difference now. The purchasing power of the dollar has certainly depreciated more than 50 percent.
 Paul quoted from court cases o1 states, making discriminatory tax valid, but said the territory does not own its fish or control them as a state does, because here the fed eral government only controls them
 Cause No Effort"
 Outsiders have no contact with the Territory, he pointed out, and do not require any efforts on the Territory's part. Only contacts are in the Southeast area, where more populous towns are located than in the Bristol Bay district.
 Parke, testifying for the Territory enumerated roughly number of tax evasions called to his attention last season, saying that 31 fisher

WASHINGTON, March 17--tR-- The Navy has asked an appropria- ton of s10,595,OOO to continue its oil exploration in Arctic Alaska during the fiscal year starting July l.
 Commodore William G. Green man, director of the Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves, told a House Appropriations sub- committee that as of December seven test wells had been drilled and another was under way. He said five new tests are to be started this year and next His testimony was made public today.
 Greenman said the Navy's pre- sent plans call for completion o1 the project after the summer oi 1852 if no substantial oil discovery is made by that time.
 Col. Ottman F. Kotick, deputy director of Naval oil Reserves, told the committee that drilling in one of the wells has reached Il 400 feet and there is some evidence. though meager, that it will reach Mis- sissippi limestone formation be- tween 13000 and 14,000 feet down.
 We are anxious to get to the top of that limestone to see whether it is permeable, to see if it has any oil in it because it is petroliferous in the outcrop section" he testified
