Alexander AccIaims
u. n. Unity in Korea,
Calls Criticism Unjus
By the Associated Press

EDMONTON, Alberta. June 49,
defense minister, Field
Marshal Earl Alexander, says
teamwork among United Nations
forces in Korea is impressive and
any British criticism of the wars
conduct there is absolutely un-
justified"
FLYING in last night from a
weeks visit to Japan and the
Korean front, Lord Alexander told
IneWSmen he was very favorably
Impressed with the whole layout"
in Korea.
Lord Alexander, governor gen.
eral of Canada until he took his
present cabinet post and World
War II Allied commander in Italy,
flew on to Ottawa today for a
three-day stopover en- route to
Washington and London.
Impressed by Teamwork.
The veteran of multination
warfare said the United Nations
effort was "one of the best ex-
amples of teamwork that I've ever
SEEN"
1T struck me more forcefully
than anything else that there, for
the first time, is a United Nations
force fighting a war;" he said
adding, IF We ever have to fight
a third World War-I certainly
hope we don't-this will provide
a sort of dress rehearsal"
Lord Alexander said he felt a
lack of information had aroused
criticism in some British quarters

people suddenly wake up in fright
he explained. He added that he

the British cabinet.
Lord Alexander said it was diff
flcult to anticipate whether the
Communists would launch an
other major offensive, but that
The Red disposition appeared to
be more defensive than offensive.

Russia S Germ War
Charges Are Fraud
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. June
ia full-scale battle over germ
warfare appeared to be shaping
up in the United Nations today
after the United States denounced
RussiaS latest move as a fraud.
The new Soviet proposal was a
request that the U. N. Security
Council appeal to the United
States and several other countries
to ratify the 1925 Geneva protocol
outlaWing archaeological weapons
Soviet Delegate Jacob A. Malik
presented his resolution with a
brief, mildly worded speech, care
fully avoiding any mention of pre-
viouS Communist charges that the
United States had used germ war
fare in Korea.
Both delegates and audience
expecting another blast at the
Americans-listened in amaze
ment as the usually sharp-tongued
Malik made his appeal in soft
tones and conciliatory words.
Campaign of Lies Charged.
Despite Mr.. Malik's avoidance
of the Korean issue, American
Delegate Ernest A. Gross harked
back to the earlier Communist
charges as soon as he got the floor
to reply.
Mr.. Gross said the Communist
charges of germ warfare were
part of a campaign of lies and
that there was no evidence this
campaign had been abandoned.
He continued his attack despite
letforts of Mr.. Malik, as the June
Council president, to rule him
out of order.
Mr.. Malik said the proposal
(which the Soviet government had
presented had no relation wnatso-
ever to the Korean question.
Mr.. Gross charged the Soviet
proposal was a fraudulent effort
to make the world believe Russia
and other parties to the Geneva
treaty had given up germ warfare.
He said there was nothing IN the
treaty prohibiting the production
lot germ weapons or prohibiting
their use against countries which
were not parties to the treaty. He
said the Russians freely admitted
they were prepared to use bac-
THEOLOGICAL weapons if another
country used them against Russia
Real Ban Favored.
The United States. Brazil and
PakiStan are the only Security
Council members which have not
ratified the protocol. President
Truman withdrew the pact from
Senate consideration in 1947.
terming it an obsolete paper
pledge approach"
Mr.. Gross said yesterday that
the United States was in favor of
real prohibition of germ weapons.
but only under adequate safe
guards to make sure there were
no evaSionS or violations.
The Council will resume the
debate tomorrow.

No Immediate Promotion
For Ridgway Planned
By the Associated Press

Both the Army and Gen. Eisen-
hover seem to think four five-sta1
generals are enough for now.
Gen. Eisenhower, himself a
general of the Army, retired, was
reported at Denver to have said
he does not favor raising any more
generals to five-star rank at this
time.
The Defense Department and
the Army were asked by reporter
if it is planned to promote Gen
Matthew B. Ridgway, who sue
ceeded Gen. Eisenhower as su-
preme commander in Europe

The department said Secretary
LoVett has received no such re-

Ridgway. An Army spokesman

Fall Ideal Time
For TronspIonting
Deciduous Trees

Deciduous trees are most sue
cessfully moved in the dormant
season. but the gardener need not
wait for the leaves to fall. .Actu.
ally. trees are pretty well into the
dormant stage q week or two be-
fore the leaves began to fiutter
down.
And now is one of the ideal
times for such transplanting, adj
vises r. j. McWilliams, field
representative of the Davey Tree
Expert Co. Such popular land
scape friends as naples, oaks and
lindens respond well to moving
at this time. But more delicate
types, such as dogwood and mag
nolia, should be SO handled only
in late spring in northern lati-
tudeS, though not In the south.
There Is a big advantage in
transplanting when the landscape
Is in foliage. You can better
visualize your home grounds
planting needs.
Precautionary Steps.
There are several precautionary
steps that should be taken if you
transplant in the fall. Insure
adequate drainage and make sure
the newly planted trees are guyed
and staked against winter storms.
Deep freezing of the soil is no
real danger if an adequate mulch
OF peat moss. leaves or even straw
is laid over the entire root area.
Early fall is also a desirable
period for bringing in attractive
new evergreens. These respond
admirably since they are never
really dormant. In effect, they
become well established before
cold weather. In some instances.
they actually start new root
growth. 1t is believed that fall
planting is often equal, if not
superior, to spring planting.
Even in the northern latitudes
most trees can be moved when
ever they are dormant and soils
workable.

lovely pink varieties. there are
yellow hyacinths. All are once
again available in several sizes
For garden planting second-size
bulb are recommended. as they
will do as well and are much less
Expensive than the mammoth
bulbs, which are intended to be
forced into flower indoors, in pots,
or in "hyacinth glasses" These
hold the bulb suspended above
water in which their roots develop,
the bulb containing sufficient SUBJ
stance to develop its flower with
the aid of the water alone.
Hyacinths tend to be shorter
lived in gardens than do other
hardy bulbs. They bloom early,
and should be planted in the fall
in time to develop roots sufficient
to support their early growth in
the. spring. Hyacinths are not as
easy to keep with you as are daffo-
dis and tulips. They seldom null
tiply, and second-year blooms are
not as large as first.

This Week in the Garden

lin the ground over winter. DUR
ing mild winters they do not
freeze. but every few years we
have penetrating freezes and the
bulbs would be lost.
Yews which have been growing
"a well-mulched soil normally pro-
duce enough fruit to make q
pleasing winter-time show. This
indicates the value Of . mulch to
the yew (Taxus). Interestingly
enough one gardener has found
"a considerable number Of seeding
yews growing in the well-mulched
soil around his yews.
1t is not always desirable to re-
move the tops Of perennials to
tidy up the yard. The tops offer
some protection to the dormant
plants during the winter in that
they shade the soil and help to
keep it frozen. Also, they catch
the fallen leaves from the trees
and hold them. Unfortunately,
unless the leaves are held in
brush they tend to pack. It is
better to place the brush on the
beds after the ground is frozen
and thus not provide q winter
home for mice. The brush pre-
vents the leaves from packing.
Remove the seed heads from
phlox, swamp aster (Boltonia) }
hardy asters and other free seed
'ers to avoid a host Of unwanted
seedlings. Too many plants de-
piete the food and moisture supply
in the bed and many of these
seedlings are not worth keeping.
Now that the vegetable garden
has nearly finished its duty for
the season the plant debris should
be spaded under or moved to the
compost pile. Spade or plow a
section of the garden for early
