ing a limitation in the bill next
year to force correction"
Committee members say that
up-grading of Federal positions
is done for select groups of en-
ployes who are the friends or
political cronies of officials in
charge. They declare that, even
though the employe performs the
same work. his job classification
is rewritten to make his duties
appear more important and
therefore justify a raise.
Regarding the firing of lower
salaried employees in reduction
in-force program, committee
members say they have had
many complaints from rank-and-
file employees that the better
paid employees seldom are af-
fected in reduction lin force pro-
grams.
DREAM JUNKET-The House
Appropriations Committee was
incensed at the Office of Educa-
tion for planning to send 40 of
its employees to a convention in
Atlantic City.
This was just too much for
the committee, which declared
that the HEW's various bureaus
did entirely too much travelling
to attend meetings and conven-
tions. The committee imposed
$25, 900 limitation on the amount
of money that the department
could use for travelling purposes.
PERSONNEL PICTURE AL
though the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
took a sizable cut in its budget
requests, most of the reductions
were for grants and projects,
rather than for personnel funds.
There will be some reductions
in the number of jobs in the de-
partment, but officials feel that |
most of the cuts can be taken
care of by attrition-not filling
many of the vacancies that occur
during the year.

Ex-Czech Editor Calls

BY The Associoted Press

CLEVELAND. May 16.-The
former editor of one of Czecho-
slovakia's largest newspapers
warned today that the release
Of newspaperman William Oatis
probably was a propaganda
move by the Russians.
Frank Klatil, once a member
of the Czechoslovakian Parlia-
ment. said the "heart-breaking
letter of Mrs. Oats was not the
reason for the pardoning of
newspaperman Bill Oats.
THE letter did not appeal to
the heart and soul of Moscow's
Gov. Antonin zapotocky. The re-
lease would never have come
without an order from the
Kremlin."
Mr.. Klatil said the release was
intended to encourage Western
nations to relax their defenses.

Eisenhower Visits

President Eisenhower today paid
his first official visit to the
United States naval base here.
ducked away for a round of golf.
and then worked late on a major
speech about taxes and defense
he plans to give the Nation Tues
day night.
The speech-writing was sched-

he returned to Annapolis on the
final cruise of the Williamsburg
as a presidential yacht.
The yacht is scheduled to go

But today Gen. Eisenhower
and his party made the most of
the yacht as place to work and
play. Joining the President in
his speech-writing work were two
aides, Gabriel Hauge and c. D.
Jackson. who specialize in eco
nomics and psychological war
fare.
These subjects will be covered
in Gen. EisenhoWer's speech over
national radio networks between
10:30 and II pm, EDT Tuesday.
On Monday, Gen. Eisenhower
will sign the controversial tide
lands bill giving coastal States
title to the submerged oil lands
inside the historic boundaries.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty did not know
whether Gen. Eisenhower would
make show of the occasion by
inviting Congressman and State
representatives to attend the
signing ceremonies.
It would be hard to match
today's show. White-uniformed
crews stood at the rails of pen
nant- flying ships at the naval
base as the Williamsburg ar
rived at 2::35 pm. after a 23-
hour run from yorktown, Va,

yesterday.

HOwDY FOLKS,

HOwDY FOLKS,
How are you doing with your
summer fallow? Got any stubble
left on top?
So what .. you leave lot of
trash and your neighbors think
you're doing poor job. Let them
think so. Your soil will stay within
its legal description while some poor
guy over in the next county or state
has to pay taxes on your neighbors'
soil. Some of those windy days this
spring showed the difference. Mulch
also helps control water erosion.
1t really isn't too difficult to do
the right kind, of job of stubble
mulching. There are many differ
ent kinds of machines that fill the
bill. You probably have several of
them already. Machines used most
are of the following types: Sweep
and blade type implements, disc
type implements and rod-weeders.
There are about four points to re-
member on machines in addition to
keeping the stubble on top:
l. Clearance-It's hard on your
temper to clear a clogged machine.
2. Don't get too wide a machine
if the ground is uneven. It's better
to hook several units together for
uniform operation.
3. Weed killing ability-some ma
chimes stir the soil more than others.
4. Strength-sweeps and blades
must be set properly and machine
that gets out of shape isn't salts
factory.
With this type of operation it is
usually more difficult to kill weeds,
so, whenever possible, do the tillage
operations when weather and soil
moisture conditions are favorable
for killing weeds.
Of course, your drill is a good hay
rake if you leave too much stubble
on top. Size up your stubble crop
and plan your tillage operations to
leave the maximum stubble crop
on the surface that your drill will
seed through. If your drill requires
a noldboard pillow, get different
drill.
Experimental results show no diff
ference in yields using stubble
mulch fallow as compared to mold
board and other methods as long as
you do good job.
Did you know that above every
acre of land there is $1,000 tons OF
nitrogen, yet crop requiring hard
ly more than SO pounds can starve
| for the lack of it?
Conservingly yours,
CONSERVATION CHARLEY

An Ohio Farmer Tells Us +. A..

All UttiU FdfIttef 1cflS US he
considers the Pitman bearing on his
power mower to be the hottest bear
ing on the farm. He says that he can
operate all day with but one applica-
ton of LUBRIPLATE Lubricant No.
130-AA without the Pitman heating
up. He has cut as much as 80 acres
of hay on one lubricating job of
LUBRIPLATE whereas it was neces-
sary to grease every half hour with
conventional grease.
He further tells us that for other
farm machinery LUBRIPLATE Lubri-
cants are big money saver in the
grease itself. One pump with the
hand gun through Jerk fitting daily
and the creamy white LUBRIPLATE
comes out on both sides of the bear
ings. He estimates he has saved three
quarters of the volume in grease
since using LUBRIPLATE. This is in
addition to saving in time from less
frequent fabrication and fewer stops
for repairs, and parts requirements.
LUBRPLATE Lubricants are not
new. They have been used by indus
try for years to do lubricating jobs
where conventional oils and greases
have failed. They are dual purpose
lubricants :. they provide superior
fabrication while machinery is in use
and protect it against rust during
the seasons it is laid-up. Start today
with LUBRIPLATE No. 130-AA.
