Army Makes it Tough
For GI's to Get Nylons
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

VIENNA, Austria. Aug. 18. -
The Army made it tough today
for unmarried CTS to get female
finery like nylons from local post
exchanges.
The CTS have been buying such
articles in mass quantities to
make friends and influence Aus
trian girls. Under the new regu-
lations they must get written per-
mission of the commanding officer
and identify the girl.
The, Army said the measure was
to aid the defense program by
releasing shipping and warehouse
facilities. It was also aimed
against black marketing.

JEFFERSON, Md. Aug. 18.-It
is three years ago today that the
magic Of conservation touched the
farm Of Mrs. Nellie Thrasher just
south of here and changed it from
an eroded ruin to Towering
garden.
It was on that day that hun
dreds OF Mrs. Thrasher's neigh
bors, manning tractors. trucks and
.bulldozers, completed in less than
IL hours a job that ordinarily
might take five years.
Fields were laid out in contour
strips, old fences that had inclosed
square pastures were pulled down,
hedges planted, fertilizer and lime
spread, gullies filled and acres Of
improved grasses planted.
A farm pond was gouged out of
a hillside just below the barn a
new dairy barn and silo went UP
and the farm house was painted.
This all happened while thousands
watched and news cameras ground
out the record of farm transfor-
nation so that those absent also
might glimpse the results Of new
idea that is sweeping American
agriculture.
The Thrasher farm renovation
was a gigantic demonstration
planned and staged by a group OF
Frederick County citizens to prove
that conservation farming would
pay in increased production.
Three years-years that included
weather cycles of drought and ex-
cess rains--have proved to all the
great value of conservation farm
ing. For the Thrasher farm, once
unable to produce sufficient feeC
for it's small herd of milk cows. i:
producing SO abundantly that ad-
lditional herd enlargements are be-
ing considered.
Most evident is the change ir
appearance that has taken place
in three years. Those who saw the
farm before the volunteer crew;
did their work saw a badly usec
farm that had given up most o1
its substance to keep a family ir
uncertain existence.
Fields were brown, and pasture:
that stretched up Catoctin Noun
tain at the back of the farm were
honeycombed with deep gullies.
Now those same fields are greer
with rich pasture grasses, alfalft
and growing corn. Even five week
without rain this summer failec
to do the damage here that coulC
be observed on other farms in tn,
area. The Thrasher farm had re.
sponded magniflcently to good hus.
bandry.
Quite naturally, the creates
increases in production were ac'
counted for during the first yea
after the renovation. Where pre-
Iviously the Thrashers had beer
forced to purchase some 36 ton
of hay annually, the farm produced
more than 80 tons, an amour
more than necessary for the herd
Wheat went from a complete
failure the year before to a crol
that yielded 26.4 bushels per acre
oats yielded 40 bushels per acre
barley 20 bushels, and corn yield.
Jumped from a puny 40 bushels
to better than 20 bushels per acre
Furthermore, q farm appraisa
indicated the value of the farm
had jumped from $13,625 before
the Transformation to $26, 400 dur

Leiiers
 From Dean Broad(asi


 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27-tH-- Red China Peiping radio has broadcast letters it said were from Maj. Gen. William Dean, now in a North Korean prison camp. to his wife and daughter in California.
 The broadcast Wednesday was re- corded here by the Associated Press and the letters were relayed to Mrs. Dean in Berkeley. She said they sounded authentic.
 The letters said he was well carl cd for and had become fond of rice, the staple of the Orient. But he expressed longing for "frizzled beef" just like mother makes.
 The letters were filled with re- membranes of anniversaries. He wondered hopefully if he had become grandfather. He has.
 A son, Robert Dean Williams, was born to his daughter nine months ago. That was just five months af- ter the U. s. division commander disappeared on the Korean battle front. The Communists say the gen. eral is in prison camp near Pyong- yang, the North Korean capital.
 T hope that the uncertainty sur- rounding my disappearance was not too much for you and mother" Dean wrote his wife. T am sorry that l have been the cause of so much con- cern."

Tax Liens Are Filed Against $

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-RE An Internal Revenue Bureau spokesman says he knows of no coordinated pattern in the filing of tax liens against persons who have figured in a House inyestiga- tion of tax collection irregularities
 Liens were filed Thursday against Abraham Teitelbaurn. Chicago att torney, and Henry Grunewald, Washington man who refused to answer questions before House subcommittee.
 And it was disclosed that a tax lien was filed Nov. 19 against property believed to be held in Houston, Texas, by Troy White head. Whitehead's name came up in the inquiry as having taken government officials on pleasure trips in his airplane.
 A spokesman for the Revenue Bureau said he didn't know of any concerted effort" which might be indicated by the actions.
 Teitelbaum told the House group early this month he had been threatened by two Florida men with bad tax trouble" unless he paid them $5O0,000. He said the two claimed to be in contact with combination of high Washington officials, all of whom said they knew of no such clique.
 Liens were filed in Chicago against TeiteIbaum, his wife, his law partner and the partners wife. They charge the four owe more than S50o,0O0 in back taxes, penalties and interest.
 The lien against Grunewald and his wife charges he owes $51;157 for 1850 income taxes. It was filed in Miami, Fla, where Grunewald has an expensive home and other property.
 Four liens aggregating Sl,528, ASA were filed at Houston against Whitehead, the machinery com- pany he heads, and his wife. They allege he owes that amount on taxes for the years 1942-46 and for 1850.
