Use OF Limestone
Increases On Farms

Annual use of limestone to in
crease agricultural production in
Maryland has increased by nearly
quarter million tons within the
past 20 years, according to records
reported by the Committee for Con-
servation Now.
The tonnage Of limestone applied
in 1898, the earliest year for which
accurate records are available, was
59,721 tons. Around 100000 tons
were used in 1852 and are expected
to be applied again in 1858.
Lining has contributed to the
tremendous increase in farm pro-
ductivity in recent years because
it neutralizcs acidity in the soil,
supplies calcium and magnesium
to crops, makes phosphorus more
available to crops, improves struc-
turc of heavy soils and increases
activity of nitrogen-fiXing bacteria,
the Committee said.

Plans For Permanent Peace
Expected From Present Talks

one of the problems of the political
conference.
What authorities here are uncer-
tain about is the implication Of
that "etc." Under tbs heading the
Reds may seek to bring up Sc
ries of issues with which they
would hope to confuse and divide
the Allies. And the Eisenhower adj
ministration, hoping to get peace
throughout the Far East rather
than in Korea alone, may feel it
has no alternative other than to
broaden the conference.
A conference restricted to Korea,
for example, could not be expected
to embrace efforts by the u. S.
and its allies to end the war in
Indochina and get the Reds to call
off their guerrillas in Malaga.
On the other hand, conference
widened to include such matters
would also be open to questions
the Communists presumably would
like to raise, among them the
status Of Red China.

Airline Pilot Is
College Student

EAST ORANGE, N. J. R-Burt
B. Budlong, a junior at Upsala
College here is an airline pilot-a
flight captain for Allegheny Air
lines.
Budlong is 80. He spent time with
both the Navy and Army Air serv-
ices during World War II, and then
put in a year flying in Alaska and
three years for TranS-World Air
lines.
He joined Allegheny in 1919 and
entered Upsala in June, 1851. He's
studying business administration
and hopes to be graduated in Jhne,
1854.
The most important thing to him
is maintaining his status as an
honor student. That way, he gets
twice as many class cuts per Sc
mester as less industrious, nom
honor students.
So far, he has had no trougIe In.
keeping within the allowed number
of class cuts, although he averages
about three flights a week for the
Newark block of Allegheny's
routes.
Budlong says he hopes to 90 on
to law school because he knows
that airline flying-like baseball
playing puts something of a prem
ium on youth. and he can't expect
II to 60 on forever.

BY JOHN M. HIcHToWER

WASHINGTON IN = Plans To
make a permanent peace for war
wrecked Korea and perhaps nego-
tate with the Communists on other
critical Far Eastern issues are be-
ginning to shape up here as truce
prospects brighten.
One idea receiving official con-
sideration, it was understood to-
day, is that any long-term peace
arrangements should provide for a
north-south dividing line.
Under provisions already worked
out, an armistice would become
effective along this present line.
However, some authorities here
believe this would not make a
workable division of the country
over a long period.
The battle line is generally al
ready north of Parallel 38, which
divided North and South Korea be-
fore the Red attack. The Commu-
nists presumably would object to
any northward shift.
The belief is that the South Ko-
rean government would accept a
border at the Korean waist since
this would give it control over ap-
proximately IS per cent of the
country. Such an arrangement
would reduce the North Korean
position to minimum, just short
Of extinction. It would, however,
leave buffer zone between South
Korea and major Red Chinese
and Soviet interests in Manchuria
and Siberia. Hence there is some
feeling that the Red governments
Of China and Russia-if not North
Korea-might be willing to move
the permanent peace line north.
No one here has any idea what
kind Of compensation they might
bargain for.
This and a host Of other ques-
tions are becoming of considerable
importance because of the S0viet'
peace offensive and the steps taken
BY the Reds toward agreeing on
an acceptable truce in Korea.
Among the provisions Of an ar
mistice worked out prior to the
deadlock over prisoner Of war re-
patriation was one stating that
the military negotiators should rec
0mmend TO the countries con-
cerned political conference to
settle "the questions Of the with
drawal Of all foreign forces from
Korea. the peaceful settlement Of
the Korean question, etc.
President Eisenhower said in
talk yesterday that American
troops would have 10 remain in the
region Of Korea for a long time.
This could include Japan, how
ever, and would not necessarily
mean indefinite manning Of a
truce line.

United Nations and Chinese forces

Queen Esther's Brethren
In Israel

Queen Esther, heroine of
Purim, would doubtless find Is
rael a very interesting place to
visit if she were to return today
Some forty thousand of her Per-
sian Jewish brethren are now
living there, constituting one of
the latest groups of immigrants
to arrive in the country. The bulk
of the Persian immigrants have
come to Israel during the last
three years. They are still COM
ing-by every form of transporta-
ton. During spring and summer,
they usually travel by caravans of
trucks. During the winter, aerial
transport is used. Every week,

about a hundred of these dark
skinned sisters and brothers of
Esther and Mordecai arrive from
Iran (the modern name for Per-
sia) at LYDIA airport.
In some ways, Queen Esther
would find her brethren very
much changed. But she would
still find them pursuing the old
Oriental craft of rug weaving, for
which Persia had been a synonym
through the ages. Modern ma
chimes and mass production of
rugs in Israel have of course
tended to curtail the demand for
the more expensive hand-woven
rugs.

Red Cross Increases
Blood Quota in Area
By About 5000 Pints

An increase of some 5000 pints
Of blood for the coming fiscal
year. beginning Wednesday, was
announced yesterday as the quo
ia for the Red Cross Washing
ton Regional Blood Program.
c. Carney Smith, program
chairman, said the new quota
will be 10000 pints. OF this
$1,000 pints will go to civilian
hospitals in the Washington
region and the balance will be
taken by the Defense Depart
ment.
Quotas Won't Change.
Collection quotas for the
Washington Regional Center will
be unaffected by changes in the
national blood program an
nounced at the recent American
Red Cross convention here, Mr..
Smith added.
"Inasmuch as this center was
established as a civilian blood
program and adapted its opera
tions to the needs of the Defense
Department at the outbreak of
the Korean War, we still have
the same responsibility to sup
ply blood to the civilian hospitals
in the tri-State area, as well as
defense needs" Mr.. Smith ex-
planned.
Bulk From District.
During the current fiscal year,
about so per cent of the $4,000
total collections were made in
the district, the rest coming from
the IS participating chapters in
Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia, officials said.

WHITE TOP, sometimes called
Perennial Peppergrass, is not too bad
in Montana as yet but because of it's
drouth resistance and ability to
adapt itself to a wide set of condi-
tons it is a real threat to crop and
range production.
White Top is one of the most diff
ficult plants to kill because of its ex-
tensive underground root stocks,
sometimes going down 80 feet or
more. With such root system it can
store tremendous amount of plant
food. In some places, it is so ag-
gressive that it will kill out alfalfa.
The above picture will help iden-
tify this weed. 1t has snowy white
blossom with tiny flowers. 1t starts
early in the spring, blooming in May.
The leaves are more of grey-green
than regular green color.
Control-Cultivation at least every
2 weeks or as soon as plants are
about 2 to inches high for at least
two or three years for old stands.
Chemical Control-Two to four
pounds per acre of 2,4-D at the bud
or pre-bloom stage in the spring.
Fall spraying might work when it
comes up.

Then he turned to the batting
orders. Compared to the Cubs
of '29 Ehmke, now a 58-year-old

thinks the Yankees "are just

"As a group they can't come

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. s.
Howard Ehmke, whose 24-year-
old World Series strikeout record
was bettered by Carl Erskine of
the Dodgers yesterday, thinks he
pitched to the tougher batting
order.
Ehmke set the record in 1929
when he struck out 13 in winning
the first game of the World Series
for the Athletics against the
Cubs at Wrigley Park. The AS
won the game, 81, behind their
surprise starter.
Yesterday Erskine struck out
IA Yankees in making the come
back of the Series after being
whacked for four runs in the
first inning of the opener.
The 58-year-old Ehmke took
stock of the situation and said
he guessed records are made to
