Bobby Thomason, former Vir-
ginia Military Institute star, will
try to join an exclusive group of
National Football League backs

lands Otto Graham. who con-

complice has been Pete Pihos,

Past White House in
Plea for Rosenberqs

Round-the-clock picketing of
the White House was begun at
2 pm. yesterday by followers of
the National Committee to Sc
cure Justice in the Rosenberg
Case.
Approximately 1000 pickets,
many bearing signs urging
clemency for the condemned
m-bomb spies, began parading
between the two White House
entrance gates on Pennsylvania
avenue after hearing brief
prayer. The prayer was recited
by the Rev. Harold S. William
son, colored, pastor of the Church
OF the Rugged Cross, New York
City.
A special police detail was on
hand to see that half of the
sidewalk was kept open for
passersby, a number of whom

About 500 of the pickets ar

Inspector Wallrodt told leaders of
the group they had right to

Friday:
"At the request Of the Holy
See the Apostolic Delegation last
December communicated to the
Department of Justice the fact
that the Holy Father had re-
ceived numerous and urgent ap-
pealS for Intervention with IN
tercession in behalf of Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg which, out OF
motives of charity proper to his
apostolic mission without being
able to enter into the merits OF
the cases, His Holiness felt ap-
propriate to bring to the atten-
ton of the United States civil
authorities.
No record of the December
message appeared in any of the
files on the case.
However, former Attorney
General James P. McGranery
cleared that up yesterday in a
statement that it was delivered
orally to him.
Mr.. McGranery. who inter-
rupted a Florida fishing trip to
explain the matter, said:
"I stated then that I would
consider only the facts relating
to the merits of the cases in con-
nection with recommendations
for executive clemency. The
matter ended there so far as
was concerned. There was no
further word from the delega-
ton"
MIR. McGranery said that the
Vatican. motivated by charity,
had a perfect right to make
known the communications re-
ceived by the Pope in behalf of
the condemned couple.
"Then," he added, ut was up

Eisler Now Reported
To Have Fled Again,
This Time From Reds
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Feb. 14.-Gerhart
Eisler. fugitive from the United
States and now a furtive fallen
idol of the Communist East, was
reported on an assumed" basis
tonight to have sneaked back to
the West.
There was no official confirma-
ton, but the West Berlin news
paper Telegraf published the re-
port that the deposed Soviet zone
propaganda chief had fed from
the Eastern purge against Jews
and others out of favor in many
top places in the Red govern
ment. Allied and West German
officials said they knew of the
report but were unable to con-
firm it Immediately.
The Telegraf said in it's Sum
day edition that it was las
sumed" that EiSler had recently
crossed the Red frontier into
West Berlin and found haven in
private circles he had cultivated
in advance.
Unable to Confirm Report.
United States intelligence
sources said later tonight they
were unable to confirm the re-
port. One officer said a rumor
had been floating around for
several weeks that EiSler had fed
to the west.
Naturally we investigated the
rumor, but never were able to
find Eisler," the officer said.
Eisler lost his job as propa-
ganda chief of the Red East
German government on January
amid strong indications that
he was being purged.- His Office
was dissolved and he was later
assigned to an obscure univer-
Sity teaching post.
The glib propaganda fled the
United States in 1949 and found
a hero'S welcome in East Ger
many. He was free on bail under
sentence of year in Jail and a
$1,000 fine for contempt of Con-
greSs. The United States Su-
preme Court later ruled that he
would still face prison if he ever
returned to the United States.
Recently it became clear that
he had been falling into disfavor
with East German Communist
leaders for some time.
His work was severely criticized
last September by the Taegliche
Rundschau, official Soviet news
paper in Germany; it warned
him to exert greater effort in
combating SANDER" of the Reds
by Western news media.
Eisler also was believed to have
aroused the suspicion and re.
sentiment Of top East German
Communists by the way he ex-
panded his information Office"
into a hydra-headed spy agency
reaching into every community.
Some German circles reason
that If Eisler were not a Jew he
might have retained his position.
The East zone no longer tries
to hide its intentions behind
anti-zioniSt statements, but is
frankly assailing all Jews in an
open anti-Semitic drive.

Ridge Planting
For Wet Soils

Vegetable crops stand dry soil
conditions better than wet.
Roots of plants will not grow in
a wet or water-logged soil. They
must have air for proper de-
velopment.
Planting on ridges is especially
valuable where the soil is not
we'll drained or where the water
has a tendency to remain be-
tween the ridges before it finally
soaks into the soil. A wide ridge
is especially valuable for growing
cucumbers, cantaloupes and
other vine crops. The roots of
these crops are sensitive to wet
soil.
Early spring lettuce, onion sets
and members of the early cab
bage family usually develop
faster when they are planted on
a ridge. This ridge increases
the depth of the soil and corre-
spends to the back furrow
through a field.

"A "walk-in" farm refrigerator.
