Eggs and poultry furnish

Eggs and poultry furnish
foods rich in protein, an es-

4 The grade Of eggs produced

meat depend upon three fac

which they are raised.
Most local chicken flocks
are comprised Of mixtures of
pure-bred and native stock. II
quality eggs and meat are de-
sired, local poultry raisers
must improve their breeds Of
fowl.
Fowls thrive best when fur

green feed should be constant

Scratch (chicken) feed, sorg-

that their water supply be
always available.
The chicken house should
be roomy and well ventilated.
Housing space depends on the
breed and number of fowls
raised. For the lighter breeds,
such as the Leghorn and our
native breeds, there should be
8 to 1-172 square feet Of floor
space per bird. For heavier
breeds such as the Rhode Is
land Reds, New Hampshire
Reds, Plymouth Rocks or
crosses of these birds, there
should be 4 to 4-1I2 square
feet Of floor space per bird.
Each hen should have 10 to II
inches Of roosting space, on
roosts built 12-14 inches from
the floor; and there should be
one IL" x ~ x IA" for each
five laying hens. In ST. Croix
since the average number of
birds per flock is 25, a house
to accommodate this number
S h uld be approximately
II x 8 feet.
To maintain a healthy flock
proper sanitation measures
should be practiced. 7 h e
ground Of the house should be
kept clean a nd dry. The
house, roost & feeding equip

birds that appear to be sick

Escaped German POW Surrenders to FBI After Golfers Prints His Picture

NEW YORK, tR An escaped German prisoner of war, hunted by the FBI for seven years and now a successful interior decor ator, gave himself up last night because of a picture and a girl.
 Husky blonde Harry Girth, 27, said he had lived in constant fear of being caught.
 T didn't want to go back to Germany" he said. "Their way of life is so different. I wanted no part of it.'
 Since he escaped from the Fort Dix, N.J., POW camp in 1946, Girth had built up an interior decorating business at Atlantic City, N.J., was buying a $500 shore home, and was engaged to an American girl.
 It was his acquaintance with the girl, Judy Florentine, of At lantic City, and the appearance of his picture in the current issue of Golfers magazine as one of five fugitive German POWs in the United States that led to his surrender.
 The girls mother spotted the picture of Girth and notified her son George in New York. He contacted his prospective brother in-law, advised him to surrender and Girth agreed.

US. Ready to Meet Anyone Halfway
 To Win True Peace

NEW YORK, R - President Eisenhower declared last night America stands always ready to meet anyone halfway" in win ming a truly peaceful, moral world but this peace must respect the rights of all men.
 This means ''everybody, not only our friends" he said.
 For example, in Korea, he added, United States policy is dedicated to protecting rights of all people there, including those "only lately fighting in the ranks of our eenmies, people that have become our prisoners"
 The President, here on a rapid temp, four hour visit during which he addressed two Republi- can dinners, said Korean prison CTS are entitled to the right of political asylum
 ITO force these people to go back to a life of terror and per secution is something that would violate every moral standard by which America lives," he de- clared. Tt cannot be done"
 Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, also addressing the $1OO- a-plate Republican affair, said the United Nations Command is mot prepared indefinitely to continue truce talks with the Communists in Korea"
 We earnestly desire and seek an honorable peace in Korea. But we shall not allow our enemies there to use peace talk as strata gem for gaining military advan- tages in their war of aggression" he said.
 Because of the size of the Re- publican gathering, it had to be split into two hotel bathrooms 1,2O0 at the Astor and $500 at the Waldorf-Astoria. The affair grossed the party $35O,OO0.
 In parallel talks to both groups, Eisenhower sketched the aims of government foreign policy, and said Tt cannot merely be a suc- cession of reactions to somone else's actions"
 He declared mo foreign policy really deserves the name if it merely reflects actions from someone else's initiative" - ob- viously an allusion to the fluctu- ations of Soviet policy.

Legal Murder Trial
Impossible Now, 10th
Counsel Tells Court

The lawyer for a former Air
Force military policeman told
the United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday it was impossible
for the Government legally to
try his client for numbering a
Korean civilian.
The unusual assertion was
made during a Government ap-
peal to set aside a writ of habeas
corpus issued by Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff in the case of
Robert w. 10th. %. of Pitts
burgh. Pa.
Young 10th, now a steel mill
worker, is charged with killing
Bong S. Xii. on September 27,
1852. near an airf1eld in Tague,
Korea. He is free on 81 900 bail
pending the outcome of the
present case.
The steel mill hand was hon
orably discharged on March 8,
Of this year and returned to his
home. On May 13, he was ar
rested at Pittsburgh and flown
to Korea to stand trial. He
sought the writ of haneas corpus
on grounds the Air Force had no
right to arrest him and remove
him from the country without a
hearing.
Stating his position emphat-
ically, Attorney John j. Nc
Grath. of Pittsburgh, asserted a
provision of the recently enacted
Code Of Military Justice was in
valid. The section referred to
deals with the power Of the mill
tary to try civilians for crimes
committed while in the service.
10th was q civilian when
arrested" Mr.. McGrath argued.
"As a civilian he was entitled to
the full protection Of the Con-
stitution. That is our whole
argument"
Judge e. Barrett Prettyman
interrupted to ask Mr.. McGrath,
if 10th couldn't be tried by the
military in Korea, Where would
you try him?"
"You can't legally try him, "
Mr.. McGrath asserted. II agree
Congress should do something
about situations like this" the
lawyer continued. 1.-THE hole
should be plugged. but don't
plug it by taking away his
(Toth's) constitutional rights as
a citizen"
