Bearded Iris Rich
Snowy Garden Plant

Bearded iris is mainly garden
flower and it's snowy blossoms add
to the attractiveness of any yard.
This floWer-Which is often call
ed the poor mans orchid-has few
rivals in it's variety and richness
of color, explains Harvey F: Tate,
extension horticulture specialist at
the University of Arizona. It's rhy-
zones spread rapidly and :: soon
make a thick bed. .,% "
Iris makes the best progress if
it's planted during the summer
after the Towering, period. Plants
set at this time or as late as. Sep
tember will become well estab-
lished before winter. Late fall
paintings .at. high elevations arel
'likeyS to heave during the winter,
and spring paintings stand less
chance of Towering during the
first season than when planted in
the summer.
Plant rhyzomes at least IL inches
apart to allow for spreading. Every
3 or 4 years the clumps should be
divided. Aat this time, discard those
rhyzomes which show rot or weak
shoots and. save the vigorous ones
for replanting. When dividing and
reseting the clumps cut the tops
back to a length of 6 inches.
Bearded iris thrives in wide
variety of soils but does best in a
medium-heavy loarn. Soil fertility
is important and may be improved
by adding organic matter well in
advance of actual planting. Use old
or we'll rotted manure when plant
ing rhyzomes, not fresh manure
which causes them to rot.
Plant your iris where it will get
plenty of sun for best results. It
doesn't thrive as we'll as it should
in shaded places.

Charm
By LOU LUTOUR

NEW YORK (GlobaD - Table
manners show charm, so let's think
about them a little.
Ever thought of what to do when
you get a little bone in your
mouth while you are eating? All
you have to do is take the bone out
of your mouth with your fingers,
as gracefully as possible. and with
no fuss. Never drop the bone into
your napkin from your mouth.
After you have taken it out with
your fingers, simply place it on
your plate. Just be sure-to put it
bluntly-that you never spit any
thing into your napkin.
To be really charming, know
your table manners "from A to e."

WASHINGTON, LR-It was a symbol and a clashing of cymbals. It was an extravaganza and prayer.
 It was part mardi gras, part Saturday night at the country club, part old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration, part simple appeal for divine blessing.
 It was litle bit of everything
 It was a little bit of everything that is America - a husbandly peck on the cheek for Mamie Eisenhower, cowboys lasso flip ped around her soldier-president, a sassy display of bare-limbed high school cuties, doleful chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" for a man going home to Missouri.

Communists Boast Of "Impregnable" Defense Line Across Korea

SEOUL, R - Allied Sabre jet pilots shot down seven Cornmun- ist MIG jet fighters and damaged three others in battles high over northwest Korea today, the U. S.. Fifth Air Force said.
 US. losses, if any, will be an- nounced in a weekend summary. /. On the ground Allied troops hurled back sharp Communist at tacks on the frozen eastern front while the Peiping radio boasted of an unconquerable defense line across the Korean peninsula.
 The broadcast asserted thous- ands of Red soldiers, working un- derground by lamplight day and night, carved out the tunnel net work which already proved it. self an impregnable defense line never before seen in the history of war"
 The Red claims were reminis- cent of those made by France and Germany just prior to World War II. Nazi troops easily overran and outflanked the French Maginot Line and the German Seigfried Line, a similar barrier, failed to stop the Allied advance into Ger many in 1914

Western Europe Warmly Halls Inauguration Of President Eisenhower

LONDON, R-Western Europe gave warm welcome to Presi- dent Eisenhower today and hailed his inaugural speech as proof of continued American cooperation.
 There were signs, too, that Vest ern Europe will pledge it's support to Eisenhower's anti-Communist policy just as it cooperated with outgoing President Truman.
 Western Europe's press took deep satisfaction in noting that Eisenhower apparently will follow the same general foreign policy lines as his predecessor.
 Quite a few newspapers waved a friendly farewell to Harry Tru- man and said he will go down in history as a courageous, far-sight- ed leader.
 Hollands Catholic Volksrant said Eisenhower's first speech re- flected wisdom and moderation. "Isolationist Senator Taft surely did not guide the Presidents hand," the paper said. Truman himself could have made it."

Mysterious Clusters of Light Sighted
 By American Airmen Over Japan

A U. s. AIR BASE, Northern Japan, R-Mysterious flying ob- jects - rotating clusters of red, white and green lights" - have been sighted over northern Japan by American airmen, the Air Force disclosed tonight
 Intelligence reports placed the sightings close to Russian terri tory in the Kurile Islands and Sakhalin. They added:
 There are too many indica- tions of the presence of some thing :. to be considered an ob- servation of nothing" And they discounted the possibility the sighted objects were mere Ire flections Of light"
 Col Curtis R. Low, commander of the northern division of the Japan Air Defense Force, said the flying clusters were seen by fight CT pilots and ground personnel and were tracked on radar.
 The reports were similar to those describing flying saucers" in the US. One said the lights appeared to hang motionless at times, and at other times dis appeared with blinding speed.
 Col. Donald J. M. Blakeslee, World War II ace and commander of an escort fighter wing, took de- tailed observations on one rotat- ing cluster and tried in vain to intercept it in jet.
 The sighting occurred over the frozen, ice-locked reaches of northern Japan, land tense with continued air harrassment by near-flying Russian fighter planes.
 Russian territory in the Kurile Islands is only AZ miles north east of H0kkaido, Japan's north ernmost island.
 The Russian island of Sakhalin is only 30 miles north of Hok- kaido. The Reds have dozens of air bases on Sakhalin and the Kuriles.

Reds Plan Kilometer- Deep Death Zone" Around West Berlin

BERLIN, LR - Four hundred East German farmers fled last night to West Berlin and told re- fugee officials today the Com munist plan for a death zone" around the city is nearing reality.
 Most of the farmers said they had been warned that they would be forcibly evacuated to the deep interior of the Russian zone and their lands confiscated.
 The group was largely made up of men who have been tilling land near the outskirts of West Berlin on farms which have been in their families for generations.
 The so-called death zone pre- parations started several months ago. Communist police indicated they intended to seal off an area one kilometer five eighths of a mile) deep on the 70-mile West Berlin border. To be caught in this area without specific permis- sion could mean abrupt death from the guns of the Soviet-train- ed border police.

r Day In Washington Yesterday
 IT for Inauguration and 'I' for Ike

was Washington on "I-Day." The ''I" stands for both "In- auguration" and for 'Ike."
 It had its solemn moments. Dwight Eisenhower saw to that. He broke precedent by opening his inaugural address with a pray CT, one he'd composed himself in the silence of the awesome morn ing before his formal elevation to the highest office in the land.
 Then
 The inaugural parade. Blaring bands, whooping Indians, pranc- ing drum majorettes, glittering floats, West Point cadets and An napolis midshipmen marching in machine precision.
 Yes-and elephants, a dog team from Alaska, an atomic cannon, a George Washington, and Abe Lincoln-name it and chances are you could find it in the confetti showered parade that filed up Pennsylvania Avenue with a new Presid0 of the United States at it's head.
 Eisenhower roared with laugh ter when six pretty girls rolled past the reviewing stand in Miss ouri's Gateway to the West" float wearing fur coats.
 Mink coats!" the cry went up from spectators IT recalling the corruption scandals attributed to the administration which d passed into history a few hours before.
 What of the man who headed that administration?
 Harry Truman and Bess started on their way home to Independ- ence, Mo.

Eisenhower Pledges to Strive for Peace
 But Rejects Aggression Appeasenent
By ED CREAGH

WASHINGTON, R IVY Dwight David Eisenhower took office as President Tuesday with a pledge to strive for peace but to reject any appeasement of Communist aggression.
 Right hand uplifted, the 62- year-old citizen soldier repeated the solemn oath of office and then launched his administration with a declaration of s'faith that the future shall belong to the free"
 In a brief inaugural address, Eisenhower named "abhorring war" as one of nine guiding prin- ciples, and promised continued aid to all free nations willing to contribute their fair share to the common defense against Commit mist expansion.
 But he warned solemnly:
 ''We shall never try to placate an agressor by the false and wicked bargain of trading honor for security. For in the final choice a soldiers pack is not so heavy burden as a prisoners chains"
 Cloudy skies gave way to the thin sunlight of winter just as the Texas-born, Kansas-bred Els enhower and President Truman left the White House for the ride

Rioting Convicts Spurn Ultimatums Until Their ''Grines" Are Honored

BELILFONTE, Pa, lP- Shout ing defiance, some 325 rebellious convicts again spurned ultimat- ums today in their barricaded cell block at the Rockview State Pen itentiary and refused to release six guards held as hostages until their ''gripes" are honored.
 It was the third day of their surprise insurrection. Last night 400 of Rockview's prisoners cap itulated to a demand by Gov. John s. Fine who warned that additional jail sentences would be given to every man who contin- ues to defy authority.
 The newest rejection of the states efforts to bring peace to the prison came in a yelling ex- change between Deputy Attorney General Edward Friedman, stand ing on the ground outside the cellblock and the convict leader who peered out barred windows 30 feet above.
 At the same time, the first di- rect word came from the host ages who have been held in the barricaded. cellbIock since the riot broke out. By permission of the convicts, one of the guards came to a window and said:
 Tell our families we are well treated. We are 0kay. No one has forced me to say anything. Come to a decision and give these men a fair hearing"
 Friedman told the prisoners:
 You have chance now for complete hearing of your gripes. Release those guards and throw out those guns"
 How about our demands" one shouted back, referring to the conVlctS' complaints, among other things, about prison food and the states parole system.
 Friedman said he couldn't go into that now.
 If you have no authority to answer questions, you have no authority to make a settlement, one of the convicts replied.
