Good Lawns Require Gentle Slopes
BY Douglas Tuomey

Many homeowners with a slop-
Ing grade around the house fail
to note that new earth takes quite
some time to settle down and be-
come firm.
AS a result. they plant grass
seed on a too-steep grade and
then wonder why the lawn is
spotty, the grass thin and the
lawn surface furrowed with small
ruts which increase in depth with
each heavy rain.
Such a lawn will never be salts.
factory, in spite of the best seed
ing and the greatest amount of
care, simply because it was i'm
properly graded.
Revealing Illustrations.
The three illustrations shown
here indicate the correct man
ner OF grading a lawn, the in
correct way and the answer to
the extreme condition which may
confront the homeowner.
The so per cent grade shown in
the first illustration can never
become finn, well-bedded lawn.
1t is also very difficult to cut.
The lawn shown in the second
illustration is well graded, will
not wash out or furrow and IS
easy to cut.
The extreme condition indi-
Gated in the third illustration
shows how a midway retaining
wall solves the problem of high
elevation between street and
house.
Just as Easy.
Some of the homes being built
today are what are called mini
mum houses. In other words,
only the finished frame and ex-
terror is done by the builder, and
the finishing off of the interior
the painting and the landScap-
ing is left to be done by the owner
after he moves in.

PRICES
New High Predicted

The Senate-House Economic Com
mittee, which keeps an eye on eco
nornic trends for congress, has
passed out a memorandum for its
members that, if true, will be a
shock to the average American. The
memorandum states that the outlook
today is for prices to rise in the
next six to IL months to a new all
time peak.
The increase, the memorandum
predicted, might be something like
/ to 8 per cent. resulting from a
continuing rise in rents and serv-
ices, a recover in clothing prices,
and a slight upturn in consumer
durable goods.
AS far as the family food budget,
the memorandum said, food prices
during the period are expected to be
generally stable on the average
unless there are substantial
changes in present crop prospects. /"
The staff review said most eco
nomists confirm our expectations of
continued stability or a moderate
rise in production, employment,
income, and prices for the remain
der of 1852 and the first half of
1853"

KOREA
Face Saving Device

l. INV SofhtS 1SStSS
Maj. Gen. william K. Harrison,
senior U. N. representative at the
Korean peace talks, presented face
saving device on the prisoner ex-
change question to the Red repre-
sentatives that holds little promise
of success.
General Harrison's proposal was
that the U. N. and the Communists
should exchange new prisoner lists.
This, in effect, would enable the
U. N. to reclassify additional cap
tives who do not want to be re-
patriated so that technically they
no longer would be prisoners in
custody.
The Communists would consider
it great loss of face if the U. N.
did not return the 100000 of the
10000 prisoners now held who say
they do not want to return to Com
munist territory. 1t would make
them look bad in the eyes of the
world and, therefore, have insisted
that all prisoners be returned re-
CARELESS of their wishes.
Under this plan, the U. N. would
classify about 10000 prisoners as in
custody" and would return them
for the 10000 U. N. prisoners which
the Reds hold. Presumably. the re-
manning 100000 would be retained
by the U. N. since they do not
want to be repatriated. These
prisoners, however. will eventually
become a big problem to the U. N.
because it must finally make some
disposition of them.
However, the question still re-
mains as to whether or not the Com
munists really want peace. If they
do, they might accept the face saw
ing device. 1t is the first encourag-
ing news from the peace talks since
they became deadlocked over the
prisoner exchange issue last April.
Meanwhile. the Allies continue
their air war against Communist
targets in North Korea in an effort
to prevent further buildup Of Red
military strength. This strength is
reported to be the greatest since the
Korean conflict began, The Reds
are reported to have Approximately
million men under arms in Ko.

DRAFT
10000 Quote Set

The Army has announced a draft
call for 10000 men in September and
estimated that $4,000 men will be
needed for each of the last three
months of this year.
The action was seen as move to
replace about 100000 soldiers who
will complete their service terms in
the coming IL months.
The Army entered the fiscal year
with an overall strength of 1855, 900
and plans to finish the year a re-
duction of 5000. Twenty active COM
bats are now maintained, including
eight National Guard divisions. Six
of these divisions, including two
National Guard divisions, are serv-
ing in Korea. Two regular Army di-
visions are in Japan.
In Europe there are five divisions,
two of them originally supplied by
the National Guard, and smaller
combat units whose combined
strength equals an additional di-
vision. Seven Army divisions, four
OF them from the National Guard,
are stationed in the United States.
The buildup of us. armed
strength will be concentrated On
planes, guns, and ships during the
next few months rather than on
manpower.

QUEEN
US. Holds Sea Record

For the first time since 1851
when the S. S. Pacific steamed from
New York to Liverpool in nine days,
10 hours, and Is minutes, an Amer
lean merchant vessel has captured
the Atlantic speed record. The new
luxury liner S. S. United States
captured the record by crossing the
Atlantic in three days, 10 hours, and
40 minutes. This cut 10 hours and 2
minutes off the record set in Au-
gust, 1888, by Britain's Queen Mary.
The black and white beauty, now
queen of the seas, made the cross
ing with full load of LOO passen-
gers at an average speed of $3.50
knots (about 40 miles an hour.
The ship is. undoubtedly, the fast.
est large vessel in the world. Top
speed has been kept a secret since
the ship was designed for quick
conversion into a troop carrier in
the event Of war. i
It is unlikely that there is q
warship in the world which can
match the new queen Of the sea in
sustained speed. ,

CONGRESS
S2nd Session Is History

The 32nd congress, which will not
go down in history as the nations
greatest legislative body, finally
adjourned and the small band of
senators and congressman who had
STAYED around until the final hour
took off for the political wars.
Adjournment came after the
senate and house reached an
agreement on two big money bills,
one providing $11,739, 776,339 for
atomic-energy expansion, foreign
aid. and military construction, the
other providing $584,061 800 for
river, harbor and flood-control
projects:
The foreign aid figure was slight
ly below what the administration
had requested to shore up the free
worlds defense. but the atomic
energy appropriation hit his re-
quest just about on the nose.
Here is the record of the 82nd
congress:
Approved a $7.3 billion mutual
security program last year, $1.2
billion less than the administration
had asked, and another Sc billion
this year, $1.9 billion less than
asked; expanded the armed forces
and gave them $46.6 billion this
year whereas the administration
had asked for $51.4 billion; raised
taxes $5.7 billion; extended econo-
mic controls with weakening pro-
visions opposed by the adninistra-
ton; OVERRIDE the Presidents veto
to enact the McCarran immigration
bill; increased social security old
age benefits and armed forces pay.
The senate ratified the peace
treaties with Japan and West Ger
many. s-s.... ..,.--@z....sr.., s..s,sssssras.a
The congress refused to launch a
universal military training pro-
gram; approve the st. Lawrence
seaway or statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii. It did not even discuss fair
deal programs such as civil rights,
the Brannan farm plan, national
health insurance. and repeal Of the
Taft-Hartley act.

The cotton crop, still in the fields,
is expected to add up to between
is million and 16 million bales. Only
twice in the last IA years has the
country produced as much as Is
million bales Of cotton.
This years sorn crop, with good
weather from here on, could reach
3.5 billion bushels, the second larg-
est on record. Recent private esti-
mates have placed the crop around
80 billion bushels - but since these
estimates were made, crop condi-
tons have improved.
AS a result of these SURPRISES, the
government may launch upon vast
new price-support operations. The
price support program for wheat
was announced last week.
With this view in mind, .Agricul-
ture department officials are telling
the nation these SURPRISES are de-
sirable in ''these emergency times"
noting that in case of war the sur
pluses would vanish quickly. They
insist that SURPRISES now protect
the country against the danger of
deficits later.
Further, they are pointing out
that to keep up with the population
increase, farm production will have
to be expanded 20 per cent by 1875.
That means any decrease in cur
rent production would cut into the
rate Of long-range expansions need
ed.
Meanwhile, the Department of
Agriculture has reported that the
nations farmers could increase food
and fibre output by about 10 per
cent over 1951's near-record pro-
duction within the next four or five
years.
The projected increase is based
on estimates that farmers could
increase hog output II per cent
over that of 1851. cattle and calves
IA per cent, milk IL per cent and
chickens 30 per cent.
