Icharge of the station when Mrs
Shoap was brought in Friday

man who had been seen with her
earlier that night.
1t. Sines said Mrs. Shoap was
lying beside some, bushes near
Kenilworth avenue in Kenilworth
when police arrested her on a
drunk charge. She was found
dead in her cell about four hours
later.

Johnson S Briefing
On Japan Started by
Top Macarthur Aides
BY The Associated Press

TOKYO, Sunday, June 18.-
Defense Secretary johnson quick
ly got down to cases today
with Gen. MacArthur's top Of
f1cers on the United States defense
position in Red-menaced Asia.
Detailed briefings on the mill
tary and political situation opened
at $50 am. Mr.. johnson flew
in last night with Gen. Omar
N. Bradley, chairman of the
United States Joint Chiefs Of
Staff.
Two briefings are scheduled to-
day, Mr.. johnson said. One pre-
sumably will deal with the mill
tary picture, the other with the
japanese occupation. Vital ques-
tions are an early peace treaty
for Japan and continued Ameri-
can use of military bases here.
Macarthur Not at Briefing.
! The occupation commanders
staff officers are expected to stress
the need for maintaining present
forces in Asiatic positionS-or in
creasing them. Doubtless they will
consider Soviet Russian military
concentrations in Asia which out
number American forces in Japan
about 10 to l.
Gen. Macarthur did not attend
the three-hour morning briefing
but he will be host for the John
n-Bradley party at luncheon.
What goes on in the meetings
here will be closely guarded, of
course. Mr.. Johnson's schedule
still remains classified (secret)
and appropriate officers would not
say this morning whether brief
ingS had begun. It was common
knowledge. however, among GIL.
sedan drivers, stenographers and
others indirectly involved.
Mr.. johnson told reporters at
the airport the conservations with
Gen. Macarthur and other officials
this week would deal with "the
entire garnut of things"
He said he and Gen. Bradley
were visiting the Pacific to see
how 'it enters into the defense of
America and the peace of the
world"
Macarthur Meets Visitors.
Information obtained here will
be evalued at Washington by the
Defense Department and sub
mitted to President Truman. Mr.
johnson indicated any recon-
mendations probably would be
ready before August.
Mr.. johnson said he would hold
as many conferences with Gen.
Macarthur las necessary" to learn
the japanese situation. He also
will confer with Army, Navy ano
Air officers and visit installations
Gen. Macarthur is expected tt
urge an early peace treaty on the
theory the occupation is wearing
out its usefulness. But he also il
expected to insist that the United
States keep bases here for the de-
lenses of the United States anc
Japan against the Communist
threat in the Orient.
Mr.. johnson said his surve,
here was not tied in with thu
visit of John Foster Dulles, State
Department adviser. Mr.. Dulles
now in South Korea, is due bacl

European Socialist
ParIey Supports Aims
OF Schuman Pool Plan
BY The Asseeiosed Press

LONDON, June ia confer
ence Of European Socialist parties
today unanimously approved the
aims Of the Schuman Plan to pool
Europe's coal and steel. but at
tached seven conditions TO their
support.
Presiding at the conference was
Hugh Dalton, British Laborite
minister who sponsored a British
Labor Party document this week
rejecting any supernatural au-
thority to manage the pool.
Other Socialist parties repre-.
sented at the conference were
from France, Italy, Belgium, Hol-
land, Western Germany, Austria
Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The conference resolution was
adopted just three days before
France, Italy, Belgium, Holland
and Luxembourg begin negotia-
tions in Paris-without Britain
on putting the plan into effect
The plan was proposed May 8 by
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman.
Laborite Statement Criticized.
The British Labor Party state
ment had drawn criticism from
French Socialists because it said
the integration of Europe could
not be carried out except on q
basis Of national planning. Critics
said this implied that Europe
must be socialized first.
Prime Minister Attlee, in a sub
sequent statement which he said
represented his Labor govern
ment's policy, declared Britain
was willing to cooperate with
countries with differing economic
eystems.
One of the conditions adopted
by the conference. appeared to
support the view of the Labor
Party manifesto. Point 5 said "in-
dividual governments must accept
the responsibility for implement
ing within their own countries de-
cisions made under any new in
ternational arrangement"
The resolution said "the confer
ence welcomes the, Schuman pro-
posal as bold example of Euro
pean initiative. 1t is in agree
ment with the general purposes
as expressed in the French COM
munique of May 9. The confer
ence notes with strong approval
that the Schuman proposal set as
the first aim of a European coal
and steel organization, expansion
to raise standards of. living
throughout Europe"
Other 6 Conditions Listed.
1t then set forth these other six
conditions:
l. Labor standards within Eu-
ropes basic industries must be
progressively raised.
2. To guarantee that labor
standards will be set by the more
progressive countries requires par
ticipation of trade unions both at
the national and international
level.
3. In order to assure expansion
of demand there must be recogni-
tion of the need for new invest
ment both in Europe and the
under-developed regions overseas.
4. Within a general program of
expansion and full employment
production of European coal and
steel must be organized efficiently.
S. If international planning in
wolves national sacrifices, the bur-
den should be shared by all the
countries participating.
6. The conference agreed that
any form of international organi-
zation must safeguard the essen
tial principles of democratic con-
troll and democratic procedure.

Farm and Ranch Experiences
Fitting Show Stock
Farm and Ranch Experiences
By JACK WRIGHT, StiIlwater County

IN THE LATE sos I had an idea
born from frequent requests from
Hereford breeders to feed and fit
choice calves that they were sure
were outstanding.
quit good job and worked on
the idea. I found that I didn't have
enough capital to set up plant that
would take care of enough cattle to
be profitable.
However, kept humping against
the old idea of feeding and fitting
cattle from numerous herds. 1t
seemed the logical solution to many
breeders fitting problems. It seemed
logical that a large concentration
of top cattle from numerous herds,
under the same conditions, would
attract lot of attention. 1t seemed
logical, too, that this would be- a
place for range breeders and pure
bred breeders to come to compare
cattle from different herds and form
their own opinions of the cattle that
would do best for them. These
thoughts got the better of me. I had
to do something about them.
I quit my job again and went to

work on the project. It wasn't an
idea any longer. There were a lot
of angles to cover. 1t was big job
to finance it. A contract had to be
drawn up that would be satisfactory
to both the breeders and myself. A
big barn was planned and built, with
efficiency of the work to be done in
mind. Exercise lots were built that
are concentrated close enough to the
barn to make them ideal.
/ found that there was only one
way to get cattle and that was by
field trips. So visited every breeder
that knew who had shown any in
terest. By the first of December 1
was full-up. So I altered the barn
a little so that I could take on the
rest Of the cattle that were supposed
to come. They came and I've been
full to OVERLOOKING since.

had an idea. I was able to turn the
idea into private project. Then
with the help of my hired men, and
some 20 breeders of Herefords, we
were able to make the project oper-
ate.

Don't Make Light
OF Light Snowfall

PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS do
not make light of a light snowfall,
Supervisor E. H. England of the
Montana highway patrol emphasized
today.
s'The pros, those men who operate
trucks and cars over short or long
distances in all kinds of weather,
appreciate the treachery of snow or
ice in any amount" he warned.
sSuch drivers outwit the elements
by using their brains more than
their brakes. When driving on snow
or ice. they take very seriously the
recommendations of the National
Safety Councils committee on win
ter driving hazards" he stressed.
These recommendations are:
1. Get the ''feel" of the road.
2. Adjust speed to road and
weather conditions.
3. Keep the windshield and win
dows clear.
4. Use tire chains for snow and ice
conditions.
S. Pump the brakes to stop.
6. Follow other vehicles at safe
distance.

Flowing Brush Land
BY c. w. WINKLEY, Lincoln County

BEFORE I START to pillow a piece
of new ground like to have every
piece of wood that will not rot or cut
up with a disk in two years picked
up and hauled off or burned. 1 may
be too particular about this but in
the long run think it is the cheap
est, and know that working a piece
of land that is not fouling up the
mower and causing breakdowns is
worth considerable to me.

Good Recreation
Is Important
BY ELSIE DONDANVILLE
Sanders County

ABOUT FOUR YEARS ago we
started recreation program in the
All clubs. Every month, and some
times oftener, the combined clubs
members and any other youth of
the community who wish to come
get together for an active evening
of recreation.
Please understand these get-to-
gethers are for all children from
or years old to high school age. I
have been unsuccessful in getting
youth of high school age to play, sing
and dance with the younger boys
and girls and can certainly under
stand that. They should have their
own recreation evening.
Now, back to what we do. In the
summer we have softbaH games
played on the school diamond. We
sometimes have a bonfire, sing songs
we all know land they really sing)
and toast marshmallows. Usually we
meet in the Lonepine community
hall lno charge). The meeting be-
gins with singing. There are several
girls who can play for us. We use
action songs, rounds, All songs, in
fact, all kinds. Then when everyone
is there, games or mixers begin.
I try to have a balanced evening
of about 2 or 21z hours. A quiet
game follows an active one. Smaller
children love singing games and
simple folk dances. The past year
the whole group has become inter
ested in square-dancing. have an
inexpensive portable monograph
and records. Then we always have
music for square-dancing.
BY the way, parents do not come.
They bring their children and come
and get them promptly at the time
we have decided to adjourn The
parents are very cooperative.
I believe good recreation is i'm
portant and necessary. It is neces-
sary for health. social living, citizen
ship, personality growth and cul-
tural enrichment. We have no jul
venile delinquency in Lonepine.

TO bury the sod SO 1t win rot and
also to do some leveling.
I found that by having two men
follow the pillow with grub hoes they
could pick up all roots and rocks
turned up and flatten down the
sods that stood on edge. Under the
conditions had they were busy all
the time. / also had them stand up
a root by any stump or root or rock
that the pillow didn't take out and was
too heavy for them to move. Then
when the piece was plowed went
back with the dozer and dug them
out.
By doing it that way I am sure
that can work the field with any
kind of equipment and with mini
mum of breakdowns.
Piow Hitch
I hitch the pillow so both treads of
the tractor are on the unplowed
land and find that can plow land
so wet that the water stands in the
furrow after the plow.
1 plowed a field of bench land for
neighbor and kept accurate account
of the time on it. 1t took hours per
acre. The ground was dry, and UNI
der ideal conditions it could have
been done in little less time. Most
of the fields were irregular in shape
and necessitated considerable turn
ing which also takes additional time
The satisfaction of piece of
stump or brush land well cleared
and well plowed is to me worth
almost as much as the financial gain
hope to receive from it.

After my first breakdown bought
a duck-bill cutter and find that it
will stop the tractor if anything too
solid is encountered. However, it
pulls harder. think it makes about
one gear difference.
My tractor is track type rated
at 80 h. p. on the draw bar, and if
the ground is dry it is a full load.
First Flowing Important
I think the first blowing of piece
of new ground is probably the most
important single operation that will
ever be done on it, and for that rea-
son I like to pillow it or 9 inches
deep on an average-the humps will
be II or IA inches and the low spots

creases bacterial activity and fur
nishes nitrogen and other nutrients.
Nearly all of our irrigated soils will
respond TO liberal applications of or
ganic matter. Much larger quanti-
ties of nitrogen fertilizer can also be
used to advantage for cultivated and
grassland crops.
Phosphorus Deficiency
Phosphorus is one of the mineral
elements often deficient in the soils
of agricultural areas. Because of con-
tinuous cropping practices and GER
tain soil conditions readily available
phosphorus is deficient in many
Montana soils, both irrigated and
non-irrigated. Where the deficiencies
have been determined it is neces-
sary to apply commercial fertilizers
containing phosphorus to maintain
satisfactory crop yields.
Phosphate fertilizers are used ex-
tensively for such crops as sugar
beets and potatoes and should be
used more extensively on leguminous
crops such as alfalfa and the clovers.
At present most of the commercial
fertilizer is being used for irrigated
soils. However, there are non-irri-
gated soils that respond to either
nitrogen or phosphorus and in some
cases both elements.
There are limited areas in Mon
tana where lime and sulphur may
improve crop yields and quality. This
problem is being investigated.
DrYland Soil Fertility
The soil fertility situation in the
dry farming areas tplains section)
of Montana still looks fairly bright
when viewed from the standpoint of
wheat yields after good fallow. How
ever, B. T. Shaw of the Agricultural
Research administration, Washing
ton, D. c., states that no farming
system in use will maintain soil fer
tility in the great plains area.
He points out that soils con-
tinuouslY cropped 70 wheat have
lost Is percent of their organic
matter. 10 small grains and fall
low SIS percent. and 10 row crops
so percent. Ffe states further
that up until about 10 years ago.
this loss of organic matter had
little effect on yields, since there
was still sufficient fertility TO
balance the available soil nois-
ture supply. Moisture is still the
critical factor in the plains area.
but coil fertility is now limiting
yields of most crops in years of
above average rainfall and of
some crops like grass seed in all
wears.
