The tragic reason why the crew.

preset flight path and spiralec
down to bring death to three per-
sons In a Morningside (Md.) home
yesterday may never be known.
I Turbulence could have caused
it. An automatic pilot, which flies
the plane through gyroscope con.
troll and corrects any instability
in fight, might have prevented it
The Inflated bomber was moi

Under good conditions. a plane
properly trimmed" by adjustable
tabs on wings and rudder, may fly
straight and level for miles with
out the pilots touch, but it seldom
will recover once its stability is in
Iterfered with.
In this case, the aircraft could
have become unstable after the
pilot bailed out because of the
decrease in weight.
The story of what happened to
the Andrews Air Force Base bomb
er before 1t was abandoned by Its
crew was told by its pilot, Capt
Paul v. Chapman, veteran OF
1900 flying hours. some of them
over wartime Europe.
Cites T0wer,S nacsS;on.
Capt. Chapman theorized that
turbulence could have caused the
plane to leave its course, but also
mentioned possibility that ths
left engine may have run out OF
fuel. The increased drag caused
by dead engine and by the low
cred wheel could have induced the
slow turns.
"The decision to jump was my
decision" he said today, "but the
decision as to where to jump was
the towers"
The pilot said the bail-out loca-
ton order surprised him so that he
asked for repeat and received it.
I'm very distressed about the
whole thing" he declared.
First indication of trouble came
shortly after the take-of, Capt
Chapman said, when the plane
failed to pick up speed after the
landing gear lever was operated to
lift the wheels.
Put Through Violent Maneuvers.
4 Normally, when the gear is lifted
'tdrag is reduced and the aircraft
will increase speed.
1 Capt. Chapman said a visual
check showed all three wheels
were only one-quarter up and
after notifying the Andrews
tower, he took the bomber to
$1,000 feet and put it through vio-
lent maneuvers in an effort to

Ition.

procedure and quite often is ac-

The tuberous-rooted begonia
makes a spectacular showing in
the pictures of West Coast gar
dens and 1t can make just as
colorful a showing in local gar
dens If given a chance. Many
yards have shaded hooks where
Ia few of the tubers may be
planted. Places where they will
catch the eye of the passersDy
However. at this season, it is bet
ter to buy the started tubers so
as to have a long season of bloom.
The tuberous rooted begonias
thrive best in moist shade where
protected from the wind they may
flower from early summer until
frost. There are several types to
select from. Most gardeners seem
to like the "crispa" but the camel
liza type is very satisfactory.
Many gardeners who have
planted a new strawberry bed will
fail to heed the standard recon-
Imendation to remove the blossoms
the first season. This recon-
Imendation Is based on the fact
that husky plants are more de-
sirable than a few scattered fruits
Good culture, clean cultivation or
mulch with one or two feelings
should produce large plants by
fall. The best incentive to these
cultural practices Is q statement
by a strawberry specialist that
next springs fruit crop is de-
pendant upon the number and
size of the leaves of the plant in
September.

The tomato is one Of the mos
popular vegetables grown. The
yields for the space involved car
be tremendous if proper care i;
given to good plants.
The principle factors favorine
the production of tomatoes are
l. Use strong. stocky, disease
free plants.
2. Have available plenty Of Or
ganic matter.
3. Set the plants deep and
spaced properly in a fertile soil
4. Use a starter solution at
transplanting time.
5. Fertilize adequately.
s. Cultivate the plants often
and then mulch near July 4.
I. Spray with a fixed copper
for disease control.
Strong. stocky plants can usually
be purchased commercially and
should be set into the garde !
from May 10 to May 20 in this
area. A good plant is one six to
eight weeks old from seed. six tc
nine inches tall and dark green
in color with a well-developed
root system.
. Organic Matter Important.
Organic matter in the form oi
rotted manure or compost is need
ed by tomatoes. This should be
incorporated into the soil several
weeks before planting. Organic
matter increases the water-hold-
ing capacity of the soil and helps
prevent drying out during hot
summer weather.
Tomato plants will usually set
more fruit in a rather rich soil
than in fairly rich or poor soil
When a plant is set deeply into
the soil it will develop a greater
root system and therefore will be
able to stand more dry weather
Set your tomatoes in 4 or 5-foo;
rows. II staked the plants may be
set as close as "a inches apart ir
the row. Generally tomatoes are
planted 3 feet apart in the row
Using a starter solution makes
available elements needed by the
plant for growth. There is q
tremendous demand for phos.
phoruS at this stage and otter
where it is not supplied a def1ci-
ency of this element occurs.
About five pounds of 5-10-5 fer.
tilizer should be applied to each
100 square feet of garden space
This amount of fertilizer should be
applied in the 18-inch circle where
the plant is to be set and worked
in deeply. About 20 pounds pei
1000 square feet should have been
plowed or spaded under with the

cover crop or manure several weeks
previously.
Frequent shallow cultivation is
important. In addition to the usu-
al advantages OF cultivation II
may assist in preventing blossom
end rot by providing more uniform
growing condition. Cultivation will
conserve moisture. keep down grass
and weeds, and permit air to enter
the soil. A cultivation should be
given after each rain or at least
every two weeks.
Mulching the tomatoes with
straw or grass clippings as sub
stitute for cultivation, In small
paintings, is becoming more COM

lows after about civilizations

Annuals often carry an abund-
ance of color into the fall garden
but for one reason or another they
seldom produce the desired effects
For this reason most gardeners
prefer to plan for the brilliant yel-
lows. reds and oranges that are
normally associated with desired
colorful effects in the perennial
and shrub borders.
This work is normally planned
and carried out in the spring
That is just another application OF
the old, old rule Of "in spring pre-
pare for fall; in fall prepare for
spring" Bold color masses are
needed in the fall to offset the
brown of dying foliage and falling
leaves. Brilliant tones in the bor-
der may create an illusion OF
warmth against the chill that
steals upon us. Washington gar
dens can have much that is bright
and CHEEKY late into the fall by a
careful selection Of plant ma
terial.
Most commonly associated with
fall gardens are the hardy chrys-
anthemums, but of course. we must
select a considerable range OF va
rieties. for individually their f1ow-
ering season is not long. Some
hardy varieties do not normally
bloom until the end of October;
others flower in late September but
they should not be chosen if the
desired picture is to be setup for
November. Admittedly the chrys-
anthemum picture is available in
a wide variety Of colors and types
of growth. Furthermore, it is prac-
ticable to grow the plants in the
vegetable garden until Towering

Iwell-enriched compost will serve
satisfactorily.
The season for the parking of
house plants out of doors is here,
but the weather is a bit too cool
and it will pay to delay this move
until it is warmer. Most of the
plants should be left in the pots
so that in the fall when they are
to be returned to their winter
Stations they will not be shocked
by repotting. If the plants need
repotting, now is the season for
doing it. Replenishing the soil
and shifting to larger pots is some
what Of shock to the plants,
but, if done now, they will have
fully recovered by September.
Most plants should be placed
in light shade and conveniently
located for more or less regular
care. If they are leggy after their
winters sojourn, indoors now is
q good time to cut them back
(most kinds to stimulate branch
ing compact growth.
Many tulip paintings were in

Edwards Wins Review
Case On Murder Churue

COLUMBUS, June 6 (INS) =
James C. Edwards, Canton, con-
victed of the murder of Mis-.
Helen Teubanoc during a robbery
at her home last July, won a re-
view of his case by the State SUI
preme Court today solely on con-
stitutional grounds.
In an unusual double barrelIed
decision, the high court ~overruled
his motion for leave to appeal,
but granted him an appeal as of
right.
This means that the high count
will review the action Of the APP
pellate court, which had refused
him the right to appeal, on the
ground that his motion was filed
more than 80 days after his con-
viction. This right generally is
considered discretionary on the
part Of Appellate courts.
Edwards was convicted by a
jury last Oct. % Of beating Miss
Keubanoc to death with a chisle
and then ransacking ner home.

his possession was identified as

For what purpose does a man ask to be elected to a po- sition which pays nothing fin ancially. but entails a great deal of work and subjects the office holder to the usual pub lie criticism?
 The only answer, and my answer, is that that person is willing and anxious to work for the benefit of his commun- i5y and his neighbors. That is my aim.
 My desire is always to bet ter our circumstances and our surroundings - to always str.ve for a better place to live.
 In this complex age of gov ernment intervention in our affairs, it is very necessary to have someone close to all governmental and quasi-gov- ernmental boards who has an understanding of the intrica- cies of the law and of the workings of our government. Because of my specialized training and experience l feel that I can be an aid to the board, an aid with qualifca- tions no one else offers.
 To effectively act on a school board one should be fa- miliar with schools and educa- tion. I offer a BA degree and an LIB degree as indicia of my familiarity with education.
 I am willing to work for the board. I feel 1 have the quail ficotions to serve. 1 offer quail ifications needed by the board and I have the facilities in my onice to handle school work.

 There is an excellent proba- bility that we may get the Gymnasium and Auditorium unit before next year along with the grade school, after which we will immediately go after the high school.
