free world" Some observers here
said the festival had given the
Communists such a jolt that Ea St
Berlin would not be chosen fCl
such role again. 1t was too easy
for the kids to get a look at the
other side of the curtain.
Communist youths leaving then
big parade heard instructions
from East German Communist
boss Walter Ulbricht to sabotage
Western defenses by "all manner
of strikes in West Germany. He
told them there would be ulti-
mate ruin for West Germany il

Organizers of the Communists

placements for the departing boys

There were at least a million

fgure exaggerated.

Breaking ranks, they literally
dropped out of line and fell asleep
on the ground. Some of the
marchers were only 6 years old.
Football Disrupts Fete.
Football-especially as played
and won by the Russians with the
aid of their own referee-dis-
rupted the peace of the festival.
East Berlin's Communist press
severely scolded German sports
fans for being beastly to the Rus
slams and loudly booing Mos
cows Dynamo team and the ref
cree Dynamo brough along.
The Muscovites, brought here as
the star sports attraction Of the
youth festival, have played two
matches against East German all
star elevens, winning the first So
and the second 20. 1t was at the
second game, played Friday night,
that the booing took place.
The Communists tried to hush
up the scandal, but the little
Christian. Democratic newspaper
Neue zeit. which sometimes sneaks
in some anti-Soviet facts even
though it is printed in the Soviet
sector. revealed the discord.
1t seems that some German fans
thought their team should have

IL the Russian referee had called
even half the fouls committed by
Dynamo.
Neue Zeit said the Germans
held the Muscovites to scoreless
draw in the first half, but in the
second half the Moscow referee
went to work like one of the
Dynamo family" The newspaper
said the fans loosed a chorus of
boos that turned into an angry

Virginia Working
On StubbIe Mulch
TiIIuqe Methods

What about stubble mulch till
age for Virginia farmers?
Although there are still some
problems to be worked out. agri-
cultural engineers at Virginia
Experiment Station think stubble
mulch tillage may put Virginia
several steps ahead on the road
Ito complete conservation"
It has been established that the
practice will reduce soil losses
from rs to 80 per cent above the
reduction made by the currently
used conservation practices such
as contour tillage and strip CROP
ping.
Researchers at the experiment
station have been working since
1914 to develop tillage practices
applicable to Virginia.
One of the researchers. Talcott
w. Edminster. will be given the
William A. Jump Award for his
leadership In soil and water con-
lservation activities in Virginia.
Mr.. Edminster heads the Agricul-
Iture Department-Soil Conserva-
tion Service iesearch work In the
Old Dominion.
The award will be presented at
special ceremonies Tuesday on the
Monument Grounds. Agriculture
Secretary Brannan will make the
presentation.
Much of their effort has been
directed at adapting machinery to
do the job.
For instance, what the research
ers call a "double-cut" plow now is
in use. and has enabled them to
cut down on perennial regrowth
and heavy weed competition
which in earlier days of the re-
search were serious problems.
. The plow has been adjusted to
cut and invert a furrow slice 3
inches thick with the top mold
board, and to thoroughly mix and
work up the soil to an additional
depth of 4 inches. This gives q

roots to the weathering and killing
action Of the sun and air.
This is done as early as possible
in the season-usually in early
March. Then just before corn
planting time, the loose organic
mulch is pulled to the surface and
the seedbed is smoothed by use
of a spring tooth harrow. The
spring tooth narrowing carries to
the surface q large percent Of
the dead plant residue-an anchor
for soil and water. It also serves
as a cover to protect the land
from destructive raindrop erosion.
Although there was no serious
dificulty in planting
through the surface mulch-there
seemed to be rather poor germina-
tion on the test areas. The solu-
ton. the researchers say, may lie
in modifying the planter to pro-
vide q more firm compact seed bed
with closer contact between seed
and soil.
Multiple Use Drill.
For planting small grains the
researchers have another machine
E-multiple-use drill-which leaves
most Of the preceding crop residue
on the surface as a mulch. 1t
has the added advantage of being
able. in one trip over the land
to do a complete job of prepar-
ing the seedbed. planting grain
and applying fertilizer.
Its development was prompted
by need for better small grain till
age practices to improve protec-
|tion against soil and water losses:
and for a means of seeding sup
elemental winter pastures with
out destroying existing land cover.
Compared to disking and seed
ing with conventional grain
drill, satisfactory yields have been
obtained when the small grains
are seeded in corn stubble. How.
ieVer, at present a reduction lr

There appears to be a difference
in opinion on how the money
should be distributed.
american ECA officials say the
money must be used to benefit

Filipino political leaders would
like to use it to further their own
pet projects.
President Elpidio Quirino has
his own list. An ECA spokesman
said final approval has not been
given any project yet. although
various studies have been made.
One of Mr.. Quirino's proposals
concerns a hydro-electric plant
at the Maria Cristina Falls on
Mindanao Island. ECA sources
said they were not convinced that
1t would be economically practical
Mr.. Quirino also has asked fol
slum clearance in Baguio. This
caused some raising of eyebrows

ing the war, Baguio is one of the
most prosperous regions of the
islands. In addition to being a golo

as the counterpart-pesos to be
put up by the Philippine govern
