inconvenience caused by the neces-
sity of lifting tillage implements
when crossing the waterway. As
more operators convert to hydraulic
controls for stubblemulch tools,
waterways should increase.
Two good sources of information
on grassed waterways are USDA
Agriculture Leaflet No. 257, and the
Technical Standards for your Soil
Conservation District. The county
agent and your local SCS technician
each have both sources.
Contour Farming
Contour farming in strips is well
adapted to many long uniform
slopes. In such places, it greatly
reduces erosion and, in many cases,
increases yields. The purpose is to
keep the water spread thin and
moving slowly, not allowing it to
concentrate and speed up. These
facts have been pretty well estab-
lished by experiments and numer-
Gus field trials by farmers. The
advantages and different methods
of contour farming are we'll de-
scribed in USDA Farmers Bulletin
1881. TIL actual layout of field Of
contour strips requires engineering
experience and equipment not avail
able on most farms. This service
is available from the Soil Conserva-
ton Service.
Three groups mentioned misuse
of land as conservation problem
and asked for complete inventories
of soil and water resources of the
county. This is a completely sound
and logical approach to the proper
use of the resources. Montana State
College and the Soil Conservation
Service are both making soil sur
veys as fast as available funds will
allow. So far, about 20 per cent OF
the land in farms has been inven-
toried.

waterways, and contour strips.
Considerable investigation with
tillage tools, methods and their re-
suits on erosion and yields has been
done at Froid in Roosevelt county,
and at the Northern Montana
Branch Station at Havre. Nine
methods of fallow were compared
as to erosion, yield and moisture
content of the soil. Most of the
methods compared were designed
to leave stubble on the surface. The

Don't Soak Chicken

BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O,-Soaking

ing it steals away some of the

advised housewives.
Cold water or any water ap-
parently takes out some of the
chemicals that create flavor,
Eldon L. Pippen of the Western
Regional Research Laboratory.
Albany, Calf, told the Ameri-
can Chemical Society.
He suggested using as little
water as possible to clean a
chicken, or letting a frozen
chicken thaw out by itself rather
than by running water over It.
Flavor loss from water was
measured by panels of human
tasters. Mr.. Pippen said the
tests were made on previously
frozen birds and that ice water
might not have such an effect
on freshly slaughtered chickens.

She is like thousands of other
Americans who had a husband
or a son or a father among the

On British Ship Made
Without Warning

HONG KONG, Sept. 10.-A
Navy source said tonight a small
Chinese Communist warship
which attacked a Royal Navy
launch yesterday killing six,
opened fire without warning in
international waters outside
Hong Kong.
The source, asking to remain
anonymous, said men on the
launch reported the Red war;
ship. a corvette. scored IL hits
on the launch. At least five other
British Seamen were wounded.
In London the Foreign Office
called for full report. A spokes-
man said. "We want a clear pic
ture of the incident" He de-
clined to say whether Britain is
planning a formal protest to Red
China.

The Admiralty announced that
Vice Admiral Sir Charles Lambe,
commander in chief of Britain's
Far East station, flew from Sim
gapore to Hong Kong early today
for an urgent on-the-spot in

The survivors related that the
lightly armed launch spotted the
Red corvette and began to turn.
Then the corvette opened fire
without warning.
They said the very first shot
hit the bridge, Wounding the
skipper and killing another off,
GER. The latter presumably was
E. Frank Cover, a reserve cap
tain, the only victim so far
identified.
The second shot killed a sailor
who was running to man a 40
millimeter gun in the bow. Ten
other shells hit the launch be-
fore the corvette pulled away, the
source said.
British Destroyer Summoned.
The crippled launch then sig
nailed a nearby marine police
boat. this account said. The po-
lice boat towed the launch to a
British anchorage and then sum-

The Red corvette had quit the
scene by that time and the Con-

The navy man said three of

The Reds had overrun part of

was down with his troops shc1.-

Maj. Mcdaniel led a foray to
recapture howitzers overrun by
the Reds. He did, leading his men
through a gauntlet of enemy fire
And then he was captured only
five days after he entered the
fight. He never knew he won the
Silver Star for his bravery and
a promotion to the rank of lieu

About three months later, we
heard the story of Maj. Nc

massacre at railroad tunnel
near the little town of Sunchon
in North Korea.

massacre knew him only as "the

Of them said, "the major risked
his own neck to get better treat
ment for us. He always gave us
part of his food and shared his
cigarettes and he took care of
us as best he could"
Maj. Mcdaniel was forced to
march from Seoul to Pyongyang
with a prisoner group. When
ever a. prisoner died on this
death nnarch-died of illness or a
Red bullet in the head-the ma
jor insisted on a Christian bur-
ial. He refused to go on until he
had said a prayer over the grave.
In each grave he left a bottle
containing the name and serial
number of the dead man.

1t was in October, 1850, that
the Reds put Maj. Mcdaniel and
other prisoners on a train which
was to carry them from Pyong-
yaEg to Manchuria. United
States bombers attacked the
train and it stopped in a tunnel
to wait for the shield of dark
ness. And there the Communist
guards decided to kill their pris-
oners.
At dusk the guards told Mai.
Mcdaniel to come with them
that they were going to get food
for the prisoners. The major left
the train with his captors.
Then the guards took the
other Americans from the train
in three groups. AS the boys
sat in the fields with their rice
bowls in their hands. waiting to
be fed. The guards opened fire.

For three years Mrs. Nc

Nixon Tells bao Dai
AT Dinner That Reds
Must Be Defeated
BY the Associated Press

DALAT, Indo- China, Nov. q
United States Vice President
Richard Nixon told Vietnamese
Chief of State Bao Dai and his
cabinet ministers last night that
to remain free 'it is first neces-
sary to defeat the representatives
of Communist imperialism on
your soil" with the help of for
eign allies.
Mr.. Nixon made this statement
during a formal dinner given
him by the former emperor at
the imperial capital, here. in the
mountainous tiger and elephant
country, 200 miles northwest OF
Saigon.
Mr.. Nixon and a few others
made round-trip flight to see
the Met Nam leader on whom
the West is depending to rally
his people to fight against COM
munism.
Opposes French Removal.
ut is easy, in the name of ma
tionalism or independence, to
advocate that all troops of the
Republic of France be immedi-
ately removed" Mr.. Nixon said
Those who advocate it must
know that if such a course was
adopted, it will mean not in
dependence or freedom but COM
plete domination by a foreign
power.
IF your country is to be in
dependent and free it is first
necessary to defeat the repre-
sentatives of Communist i'm
perialism on your soil. To do
that it is necessary to have allies
to work with you and accomplish
that defeat"
The Vice Presidents remarks
are evidently part of a cautious
campaign during his visit, to
present the American view that
the defeat of communism is es-
sential to Indo-China in an ef-
fort to counteract the Paris pro-
poSalS for a negotiated truce.
BaO Dai Voices Thanks.
Bao Dai, in brief formal re-
marks. said Wet Nam loves
eyerstanding thankfulness to the
great powers which are backing
our strife, shedding their blood
as we'll as taxing themselves
with burdensome sacrifices"
Later, in conversation, Bao
Dai told Mr.. Nixon he believed
Ho Chi Mimi, Moscow trained
rebel leader, and Red China s
Mao TIE Tung have agreed that
Ho is to conquer Southeast Asia
and Mao the rest" Ho is leader
of the nationalist Wet Mimi
guerrilla force fighting the
French in Indo-China.
Mr.. Nixon returned to Saigon
this morning to visit Vietnamese
army training centerS.
Throughout his tour of the Fa1
East thus far, Southeast Asian
leaders have told Mr.. Nixon they
don't expect any new Red mill
