Barnes described the pre-cam-
paign activities of the Farm COun-
Gil as preventive campaigning
anticipating and answering issues
before next years formal Congress
sional campaigns begin.
"The farm issue, in many states,
may well be the determining factor
in the 1854 elections" Barnes said.
With a functioning corps of farm
wise, pOlitically-wise young farm
ers, we obviously will be in posi-
ton to direct an intelligent cam

We are pleased to have available
in this state a man qualified as an

Australia.
Even then, war and danger
couldn't interfere with his ambi-
tiOn to paint, nor did it keep him
out of trouble with the police.
The military police couldn't un-
derstand soldier getting up before
breakfast to sketch, so seeing him
working by the harbour, promptly
snatched his paintings and turned
him over to the provost marshal
as a possible spy. Not only that,
but some of his best stuff was
burned-fOr security reasons, no
less.
On one occasion in interior New
Guinea his cakes of paint came in
handy when a tribe of abOrigines
swarmed around his plane and
were becoming more and more
threatening until Jack opened his
paint box and they spotted the
bright vermiliOn color. One bright
stripe applied to the nose of each
turned them into admiring friends.
In Annapolis, Mr.. Lewis held an
exhibition with two former service
men and again had brush with
the law. This time he was arrested
for blocking traffic while getting
good shots of the historic buildings.
Many of his paintings have been
reproduced in book form by the
painter-authOr and now a new one
is rolling off the presses, contain
ing about 100 sketches of the Eas-
tern and Western Shores of Mary
land and the big bay itself.
The paintings deal with the peo-
pie of this region, the large and
small bays, creeks and rivers, his
tOric scenes and our woods and
shores. There are sketches of oys-
tering, grabbing, fishing and farm
ing tOgether,with old manor houses
and local cOttages-a .cOlOrful rec
ord of life on the Eastern Shore.

The effect of the chemicals can
not accurately be determined at
this time. A heavy growth of emer-
gent plants occurred on the ex-
posed areas and when the pond
was flooded these arose to the sur
face of the water. These emergent
plants will die back and will not
be a problem after this winter.
Initial observations show little eff
feet from the treatment with 2,4,D
and fuel oil. No doubt the action
of the sun was responsible for a
/ great deal of the results obtained.

Danforth Says Federals Snafued His Investigation Of Cecil Wells Murder

ANCHORAGE, R - Former Fairbanks police chief Everett V. Danforth said Wednesday inter ference" by federal authorities hampered his investigation of the Cecil Wells murder case.
 Danforth, who resigned last month in the interests of local harmony, said in an interview with the Anchorage Times the federal authorities 'prematurely summoned witnesses" during his probe of the fatal shooting of the wealthy Fairbanks auto dealer.
 Danforth said he was a "vic- tim of circumstance" in a city and territorial administration he said was "wracked was civic, social and professional petty jealously."
 The former police chief said that with the progress he was making before federal authorities ''interefered'' it would have been a matter of time before he wrap pd up the investigation.
 As it stands now, Danforth said, Elf any investigation is being done at all, it is probably being done in a haphazard manner"

Doubts Voiced That
 Congress Would Approve Contribution of A-Material

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower's proposal for an in ternational sharing of atomic en- ergy knowledge and materials for non-military uses was cheered to- day by many lawmakers as a bold stroke for peace.
 But at the same time doubts were voiced that Congress would give it's approval for any contri- buttons to a United Nations atomic agency unless there was advance agreement on fool-proof interna- tional inspection within partici- pating nations.
 The President himself, in his speech to the LIN. yesterday, said his proposal had the virtue of avoiding the inspection irritations which have stalled previous at tempts to get an atomic agree ment with Russia.
 He called for creation of a new agency to which the U.S., Russia, and other nations would begin now and continue to make joint contributions from their stock piles of atomic materials.
 Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, a mem Der of the Senate-House Atomic Committee, said in an interview he doubts the JUN. is in any po- sition to exercise necessary con- trols over atomic energy informa- ton.
 Sen. Knowland of California said he regards the Presidents speech as a far-reaching proposal. He said Russia's reaction may finally demonstrate whether or not that government is bent on aggression when they have built up their atomic capabilities and stockpiles."

Another Setback
 To Proposed Alcoa Plant At Skagway

OTTAWA, R-Prime Minister St. Laurent delivered another ap- parent setback yesterday to the prospects of the proposed Alumi- mum Co. of America plant at Skagway, Alaska, which would be dependent on water from Can ada.
 In a speech to the House of Commons, which covered several aspects of the far north, he reiter- ated a government stand that Canadian resources in the north ern country, particularly water power, must be retained for Can adian use.
 Members will remember that some time ago there was a sug- geStion that Yukon waters, or much of them, could be diverted for development in Alaska" he declared.
 While we do not want to adopt any dog-in-the-manger attitude about our resources which cannot be used in our own coun- try, think that those which can be used in our country must be reserved for the generations that will follow us ;"
 (There have been reports on the west coast that the prospects of the American company getting water rights for the SkagWay pro- ject might hinge on a decision of Canadian interests on whether in dustrial developments in the re- zion might be feasible).

Barge Load of Cement, Valued at $3O0,00O Sinking In TOngass NarrOWs

SEATTLE, R-A Seattle barge has turned turtle off Ketchikan, the 17th District Coast Guard re- ported Monday, with loss which may run as high as $300,000.
 Weighted down by almost 5000 tons of cement, the big steel LST- type barge Attu Island is sinking slowly beneath waters of Tongass Narrows, the Coast Guard report ed.
 The 328-foot barge, owned by the Portland Tug and Barge Go. has an estimated value of $200,000. The cement, plus six automobiles and other cargo with which she sailed from Seattle last week, have a market value of almost $100,00O.
 The disaster was touched off last Friday, according to Coast Guard information, but reports have trickled slowly down to Seat tie from the north. Officials of the Puget Sound Tug and Barge Co.,, whose tug Hercules was towing the barge, still insist they have only rumors of the event.
