Fall Is Time For
Lawn Care

The best time to apply fertilizer
TO lawns is about September first,
says Claude Phillips, agrOnomist ut
the University of Delaware in a new
folder on lawn care.
And now is the best time for re-
seeding lawns, tOO," says Phillips.
Lawns receiving the proper care
with the right amount of lime ana
fertilizer ordinarily do not need re-
seeding. In the case of lawns that
have been neglected for many years
it may be necessary.

the Nays teeth On edge. Senator Warren
Magnuson of Washington, speaking at a
press conference IN San Francisco On March
II, predicted that the Navy would soon
have an atomic powered submarine, that a
small working model was already in the
water and that the eventual atomic subma-
riae would be capable Of almost any speed, :
easily 50 to 60 knots"

he said, was already in operation at the
Nayy's test basin near Washington. D. c.
The Senator had some of the facts quite
wrong, but altogether he was close enough
to the truth 80 that the Navy brass hit the
ceiling when report of the speech got to the
capital next day
Under the law, congressman cannot
be punished for their indiscretions and
IL would be poor policy to have such a
threat over their heads. Many of thems
of course, are completely trustworthy, but
it is too much to expect all of them to keep
rules Of their own making. There is no pun
ishment save spanking by public opinion,
but adverse public opinion has punished
only one indiscreet member of Congress in
recent memory.
That was Senator big Ed" Johnson of
Colorado. In television show on Novem-
Der /, l949 Tin which he assailed scientists
asloose-tongued). Johnson boldly announced
that we had developed bomb with six
times the effectiveness of the Nagasaki
bomb. that we were making progress on
super bomb" with thousand times the
effectiveness of the Nagasaki bomb. Next
day the feathers really hit the fan because
Johnson happened to be member of the
: Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic
Energy. which the Mcmahon Act says shall
be fully informed" of the work of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
President Truman was extremely upset
and important newspapers castigated the
Senator. The committees chairman, Sena-

himself, made strong case to show that

others had said and written these things
before Johnson spoke. That was true. but
since Johnson spoke with the authority of
committee member, his remarks were equal
to official confirmation of the H-bomb. And.
of course, his announcement also served to
open the foodgates holding back great
deal of H-bomb information circulating
in non-official quarters
If one discounts the johnson case, as
Chairman Mcmahon does, the fve-year
secrecy record of the joint Atomic Energy
Committee under Senators Mcmahon and
Hickenlooper has been perfect, and this
committee should serve as a model for 9TH
ers. Indeed, the committee is deliberately
trying to set an example. and its members
take great pride in their ability to keep their
mouths shut. No notes are taken from the
hearing room; even congressional "doodles"
are destroyed; there is system of specially
investigated guards and special safes.
When member takes out any documents
- never any Top Secret documents = he
must sign receipt and return them at
certain time. But in the final analysis it is
psychological matter The information is
awesome in itself, and both Hickenlooper
and Mcmahon have done their best to
put the fear of God" into the members at
every opportunity.
They Woxh in she Dark
MCMAHON is 80 stern about security that
he even refused to answer my inquiry as to
whether or not the committee members
themselves know how many atomic bombs
we have. But the fact is that they do not
know, nor do they know the rate of bomb
production. Under the Mcmahon Act they
are entitled to know, but they decided that
they did not wish to have that information.
This has produced serious dilemma. They
must legislate on atomic matters, must
judge the progress of the atomic program,
yet they have to do it in the dark = without
knowing the two most basic facts.
This is a preposterous situation, yet, con-
sidering the congressional record on secrecy,
can anyone believe that without this self
imposed rule of ignorance, the two basic
facts would not be known to the whole world?

Meat Strike Threat
Postponed 6 Weeks
ByCI0 Union Pact
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 24.-Threat of
q nationwide meat strike was
lifted for at least six weeks today.
This will enable the unions to
make a new effort to put through
government-vetoed pay increase
proposal.
The l20,000-member CIO-Uni-
ted Packinghouse Workers union
decided to go along with AFL
and independent meat handlers in
relaying the threatened industry
wide strike until May 7. The
walkout could have started Mon
day.
The agreement between the
packers and unions leaves the
wage question in the hands of
Government sterilization officials
for another six weeks.
Temporary Pact Signed.
The last threat of an immediate
strike vanished when the CLIO
group signed temporary agree
ment with Swift g. Co. and Arm
our & Co., the Nations two largest
packers.
The AFL meat cutters and an
independent union signed a SINH
lar agreement yesterday. The
AFL represents about 1000
meat handlers and the indie
pendent union. the National
Brotherhood OF clearinghouse
workers, 10000.
The unions said the. same
agreement would be extended to
other packing companies.
Ralph Helstein, UPW president.
advised the companies that "un-
less approval of the increase by
the Wage Sterilization Board is
coming by May 7 we will reopen
the entire contract.
Wage Reopening Provided.
The contract. containing q
wage reopening clause, runs un-
til August, 1852.
The strike threat stemmed
from refusal of Eric Johnston.
sterilization director, to approve a
II cents hourly wage raise the
unions negotiated with the packers
last month. The unions won a.
similar wage increase in August.
Johnston said only 3 cents of
the proposed increase could be
allowed in view of the Govern
ment'S formula limiting wage in
creases to 10 per cent above the
January Is, 1850, levels.
The wage agreement provided
that Government approval was
required by March Is to make it
effective.
This approval deadline is moved
up to May 7 in the temporary
agreements.
Union officials are expected Ell
Their to ask Mr.. Johnston to re-
consider his decision or to take
their case before the Wage Sta
bilization Board, if it is re-
established by then.
Labor representatives with
drew from the wage board in pro-
test against the governments

The wage scale of meat hand
lers ranges from SIPS to $2.10 an
hour. However, the CLIO con-
tends the average is $3.50 and
