Dr.. Grosvenor Flies
Over North Pole 10
Fulfill Old Ambition

DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor, presi-
dent Of the National Geographic
Society, finally has seen the
North Pole.
The 77-year-old scientist said
he realized his lifelong dream
thanks to the United States Air
Force. He revealed that he flew
over the North Pole May 20 in
an Air Force plane.
In his long career with the
society, DR.. Grosvenor has seen
most every other part of the
earth. But he had not been able
to make it to the North Pole
before.
"The facilities of the Air
Force made the journey possible
for me and at considerably more
speed and comfort than my
predecessors" he commented.

Rosenbergs Request
New Execution STAY,
Make Last-DifchP Plea
BY the Assoeioted Press

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
convicted atom spies, today asked
Chief Justice Vinson to grant
them a new stay of execution.
The Supreme Court yesterday
refused for the third time to re-
view their case. The husband
and wife are in the death house
Of New York'S Sing Sing Prison.
Two attorneys for the Rosen-
bergs filed a petition today ask
ing stay of execution pending
the tribunals final action on a
request for reconsideration of
yesterdays denial.
The stay petition charged that
the indictment of William Perl,
an authority of aerodynamics, two
and half years ago was timed
by the Government so as to
prejudice the Rosenbergs at their
trial.
The indictment charged Perl
committed perjury when he de-
MED knowing the Rosenbergs.
Perl was convicted of perjury in
Federal court in New York last
week.
Government attorneys have
made aff1davits intended to prove
the Perl indictment was not
timed to prejudice the Rosen-
bergs' trial. Referring to these
aff1davits, the request for a new
stay of execution stated:
"The Government in it's fran
tic attempt to conceal its mis-
conduct compounded it by in
Producing false affdavits, which
obviously could only have misled
the courts and deprived the petit
tioners (the Rosenbergs) of the
proper consideration of their ap-
plication" for a Supreme Court
review.

House Boosts Labor,
Health Funds, Beats
Hospital Increase
By Robert K. Welsh

The House today added SIS
million to a $1.9 billion appro-
priation bill for the Labor and
Welfare Departments, but de-
feated, by only six votes, an
attempt to tack on another $25
million for hospital construc-
ton.
The bill, as passed 395 to 2 and
sent to the Senate. would give
a total of 81, $50. .706.461 for both
departments for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
The SIS million boost was the
biggest made by the House in
any appropriation bill it has
passed thus far this year.
A proposal to increase the hos
pital construction item from $50
million to $75 million lost on a
roll-call vote, 203 to 1877. This
proposed amendment was pushed
by Democratic leaders who
voiced confidence earlier that it
would pick up sufficient Republi-
can support to assure adoption.
The roll-call vote showed, how
ever, that several Democrats
voted against a $25 million in
crease.
ID. C. Area to Benefit.
The District, as we'll as Mary
land and Virginia, is covered in
the $50 million which the Fed
eral Government would distrib-
ute among States on a matching
basis for hospital construction.
The District would receive
about 100000 whether the over
all total was $50 million or $75
million. Virginia, however, might
have received $2,219,346 and
Maryland, $954,211 if the addi-
tional $25 million had been ap-
proved. Under the $50 million
allotment. Virginia stands to re-
ceive $1,464.362 and Maryland.
$629,588.
Before voting down the school
construction amendment urged
by Representative Fogarty. DEM
ocrat, of Rhode Island, the House
voted 236 to 1856 in support of
his amendment increasing from
$60.5 million to $66.5 million the
item for Federal school aid to
communities affected by Gov
ernment defense establishments.
Eight Increases Voted.
The House also approved eight
other increases in particular
items. All increases. including
the Sc million additional for
school aid, were tentatively ap-
proved yesterday or Friday in
test votes.
The additions totaling $15,-
124,891 include $2.4 million in
payments to States for voca-
tional rehabilitation, $2.6 million
for the Office of Education's vo-
cational training program, $2.5
million TOR further endowment
of land-grant colleges. $295, 900
for Howard University. 1854, 900
for Freedmen's Hospital. 500, 900
for the Labor Department APP
premiership Bureau, $60. 900 for
the Labor Departments Women's
Bureau and $4,000 for the Of
flee of Vocational Education,
besides the Sc million additional
for school aid.
Debating Appropriations.
AS the bill goes to the Senate,
it would appropriate $255,18 900
for the Labor Department, ST.
712, 248,461 for the new Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare and $13,274,0O0 for affi-
lated minor agencies.
After passing this bill the House
plunged Immediately into general
debate on a $415, ,991 800 appro-
priation bill for Army civil func-
tions such as flood control, har-

Morse Loses Battle
On Committee Seats,
Is Put on D. E. Unit
By J. A. QIeuY

Senator Morse. Independent,
of oregon. today finds himself a
member Of the District Of Co
lumbia and Public Works Com
mittees, after losing his fight
to get back on the Armed Serv-
ices and Labor committees.
The Oregonian lost his choice
committee places in January as
a result of having bolted the
Republican ticket to support
Adlai E. Stevenson for President.
For four months. Senator
Morse has continued the fight
for a new proposal. which would
have enabled the Senate to re-
store him to his old committees
without depriving the Republi-
cans of a clear majority on those
committees. He sought to do
this by resolution which would
nave given the Republicans one
additional place each on Armed
Services and Labor in addition
to reappointing Senator Morse
as an Independent.
Beaten by 56-19 Vote.
His resolution failed on q roll
call, 56 to 19, yesterday when
Democratic and Republican lead
ers joined in opposing 1t. Only
Is Democrats and 2 Republicans
voted with Senator Morse. The
Republicans were his colleague.
Senator Gordon of oregon. and
Senator Tobey of New Hamp-
shire.
Committee assignments for
the Oregon Independent had
been held in allegiance since
January. After yesterdays vote,
Acting Majority Leader Know
land Of California moved that
Senator Morse be assigned to the
District and Public Works Com
mittees, and the Oregonian Of
fered no objection.
Senator Morse insiste
throughout the long battle that
seniority in the Senate is not |
limited to party membership,
but is based on service in the
Senate. He argued that it was
A violation of long standing prec-
edent to take him off his old
committees. even though his new
status as an Independent might
have moved him to the bottom
of those committees.
Defended by Douglas.
Minority Leader johnson of
Texas opposed the Morse reSolu-
tion on the ground that it would
have increased the Republican
margin on two major committees
without giving the Democrats
any more places.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, of
Illinois rallied to the defense OF
Senator Morse. and chided the
Democratic leadership for help
ing the Republicans to keep him
of his old committees.
why should we be more Sc
we're on a man who bolted his
party to support our candidate
when we will not discipline our
own members who fail to sup
port their party ticket?". asked
Senator Douglas. <,es
Senator Douglas compared the
fight of Senator Morse from the
Republican Party to the North
Korean soldiers who surrendered
to the U.N. forces and don't want
to be sent home.
Senator Morse is, in a sense,
a prisoner of war;" said Senator
Douglas. why should we drive
him at the point of a bayonet
back into the Republican Party?
Why should We become the Ges-
tapo of the Republican Party?"

seemed very sure of himself. I
asked him to sit down and tell
me what brought him to see me.
He then said that he had a
deal that he wanted to discuss
with me, just as if 1 were in my
Office discussing Oil problems. I
asked him who he was. and he
said that it did not matter what
his name was as long as he was
there. Then he said: This will
no doubt prove my identity and
he took from a pocket a photo
graph and handed it to me.
The picture was recent one
of Mr.. Georgescu's sons.
"On the back Of it there was

boys, stating, as far as l can rec
ollect: Dear daddy, please do all
you can to help U.s. signed Costa

"At that moment the telephone
in the other room was ringing
and my wife called me to the
telephone. In a minute, when I
returned, I found that he had

in his pocket again. I wanted to
disguise my emotion and did not
ask him to let me see the pic
ture again.
But I said: Now that you are
prepared to make a deal with
me, want to know exactly who
you are and I request that you
identify yourself"
Produces Identification Card.
The man produced his diplo-
matte identification card, made
out in the name of Cristache
Zambeti. 1t was signed by for
mer Secretary of State Acheson,
dated November S, 1851. The
title underneath was First Secre-

"Costapeter," combining the first
names of the two boys, had been
part of the corne-on.
"He said he had recently come
from Romania," Mr.. Georgescu
resumed in his statement, land

then he added:
"Mr. Georgescu, If you want

Time Is Here to Move Them Out of Doors
And Divide or Trim Them as Needed
BY w. H. Younomon

they need not be coaxed to eat it.
If children or animals are
likely to harm the plants a small
picket fence (wire or wood) may
be placed as protection.
If the plants need pruning to
make them compact and bushy.
this will be the last step in get
ing them settled. Most kinds
tend to get leggy indoors and
need to be pinched or cut back.
Even the poinsettia which has
been resting in the basement
should be cut back to stubs 4 or
S inches in length. Begonias.
geraniums. coleus. ivy. and a
host Of others can Withstand a
severe trimming at this season.
Pandanus, aspidistra, marica,
and similar plants seldom benefit
from this treatment. The di-
vision mentioned above is gen.
orally adequate for them.
Mix Liquid Fertilizer.
During the summer the plants
will need to be fertilized once or
twice so that by September they
will be well filled with new
growth and in good condition for
the winter indoors. A liquid fer
tilizer is probably the most easily
applied. A starter solution serves
nicely although d homemade
one, using the 5-10-5 mixture. is
easily made. Dissolve A cup Of
it in / gallon of water and apply
a cupful to each pot.
Insects may be a problem. Ger
tainly the gardener will want to
make certain that the plants are
free of insect pests before they
are taken indoors. It's so much
easier to clean up an insect in
festation out Of doors. Sprays
with nicotine sulphate, lindane,
or similar product, will in most
cases take care of all common
pests. The spider mites are likely
to move in on them if they are
in a confined space. Where
they are abundant it may be
necessary to spray them with a
good miticide. Malathon is one,
but there are several others.
Select one that is effective
against all races of the red spider
mite.
In early September the plants
should be lifted, the pots cleaned,
the plants sprayed with the hose
to remove dust and dirt and the
trek indoors started. If there is
a porch or other intermediate
point that can be used as the
first leg Of the move it will help
to accustom the plants to the
drier growing conditions. A
weeks rest at such an inter-
mediate place Is ideal.
After reaching their winter
quarters. the plants should be
Syringed almost daily until they
have recovered from the move.
Heavy watering is seldom as
beneficial as a Swinging of the
foliage.

First Hay Cutting
Good for EnsiIoqe

There are several good reasons
to ensile the first cutting of hay,
believes r. G.. Connolly, dairy
husbandman at VPI.
!. You overcome many of the
weather hazards associated with
hay-making at a season when
the odds are in favor of frequent
showers.
2. The first crop of hay usually
is stemmy, coarse and weedy,
better adapted for silage than
for hay.
3. You can remove the first
hay crop earlier, when its digesti-
bility is highest, to make way
for higher yields and better
quality in the second cutting.
4. Ensiling the first crop of
hay is insurance against a feed
shortage when pastures are low.
S. When you ensile the first
crop you probably will make bet
ter use of time. labor and equip
ment than if you take a chance
on the weather in making hay
under the usual field-curing con-
ditionS.

Use a protein supplement when
hogg1ng-od corn and soybeans
planted together. Research at
the Holland branch of VPI Agri-
cultural Experiment Station
shows that gain and efficiency
can be greatly stepped up by
feeding pigs one-half pound per
day OF a good protein supplement
containing around 80 per cent
protein when the animals are on
corn and beans.
