Aid for Free Korea

In keeping with one of the assurances
given the Rhee government in exchange for its
agreement not to obStruct the truce, President
Eisenhower has now called upon Congress for
interim legislation to launch program of
rehabilitation and economic support in the free
Republic of Korea. The indications are that
both houses will be quick to approve the
measure because that is the only right thing to
do. After all, there is no question that the
valiant and long-suffering ROK people are
sorely in need of help and that prompt action
must be taken to reconstruct their war-ravaged
country.
What the President has requested is pas
sage of bill authorizing him to make kind
OF bookkeeping transfer permitting him to use
for ROK rehabilitation, up to 5000 million of
the funds already appropriated for fighting the
Korean war. In other words, now that there is
truce, he wants to begin peaceful reconstruc-
ton with this portion of the savings in military
expenditures since the money does not have to
be shot away in bloody strife, he is eager to
invest it in the alienation of human misery
His proposal is so obviously sound and neces-
sary-even from the standpoint of our own
long-range security interests-that Congress
has good reason to approve it without delay,
and unanimously.
But this interim legislation, as the Presi-
dent has said, represents only the beginning of
what needs to be DONE AS he sees the ROK
situation, the required program must extend
over several years. and further congressional
action-involving large expenditures-will have
to be taken at the next session. He has summed
up the magnitude of the problem with these
words: "The extent of devastation suffered by
the people and the economy of Korea is stag
gering. Since the outbreak of war in 1885,
l million South Koreans have been killed
More than 25 million have become homeless
refugees. Five million depend in whole or in
part upon relief to stay alive Property destruc-
ton exceeds ST billion"
These figures clearly show why much more
than the interim 5000 million will be required
from the United States and the United Nations
as whole for an adequate rehabilitation pro-
gram, and the President has made clear that he
intends to give vigorous leadership to such a
program ia significant "if'-the ROK gov
ernment continues to cooperate with our
country and the U. N Command. With Soviet
leaders promising similar aid to the North
Korean Communists, he has offered wise
counsel in declaring that we and our allies
must meet this situation in manner that will
prove to the world-not with promises but with
deeds-our will and capacity to do constructive
good in the cause of peace and freedom"

The Tax Dollars We Lose

Senators Dirksen and Case, who seem to
know good thing when they see it, were able
to get an increase in the District appropriation
bill of $65y000 for the hire of additional per-
Sonnel in the tax assessors Office.
They were won over by Finance Officer
James L. Martins simple arithmetic. Mr.
Martin said that for every additional man (at
$4,000 year, put to work auditing tax returns
the District would collect an additional $500
a week. The figure runs even higher in such
categorieS as the local income tax, where 1t
might reach $4,000 week.
There is limit of course. For a point
would be reached where the personnel in
come excessive. But Washington according to
Mr.. Martin, is far short of reaching that limit
There are hundreds of thousands of dollars
available in taxes that are not being collected
because the tax assessors Office is understaffed
Example: Since 1928, there has been no increase
Of the five assistant assessors responsible for
assessment of local real estate. In consequence
they must of necessity neglect large areas of
the city which should be reassessed periodically,
while keeping up with Improvements in other
areas.
1t is incomprehensible why Congress is so
reluctant to appropriate the funds necessary
for adequate and fair tax assessment. AS Mr.
Martin pointed out, the failure to do so means
not only loss in tax revenue but an ineuuitable
spread of the tax burden. He said that before
Congress thinks of imposing new taxes it
should make sure that there is full and equi-
table assessment under existing laws. Uncol-
lected taxes place a burden on those who pay
their full taxes now.

The formula for raising baby squir-
rels, which Mrs F. sent, is as follows:
Three ounces homogenized milk, l
ounce boiled water l teaspoonful raw
egg yolk. drop (use eye dropper)
Navitol or Viosterol, drops Jeculin,
"a teaspoonful calcium gluconate.
If young squirrels are kept in box
or cage of any kind, length of tree
branch is best kept in the bottom Of the
box.
Also, some sort Of wool material, such
as the sleeve Of an old sweater. They
love to cuddle down in this, as sub
stitute for their natural nest.
While one may Sympathize with our
correspondents feelings about raising
young birds, it must be kept in mind
that in the hands of an adult with the
right feeling for bird life the lost baby
bird has a far greater chance Of sur
vival than if left on the ground, eSpe-
cially when the nest cannot be located
Literally thousands of babies are
raised by hand" every year, and large
proportion of them do all right, after
being released. There is, naturally
some danger during the first few days
after release, but there is always dan
ger in nature, and we believe the bal
ance is very much on the side of trying
to do good, even when it fails.
We know of one robin, raised with
six cats. which annually returns to
certain Chevy Chase garden as sort of

terly no fear Of eats, when released, but

The Brave East Germans

Although their puppet Red tyranny has
threatened them with Imprisonment and other
forms of punishment if they dare to 60 after
the free food made available through President
EiSenhowers action, scores of thousands of
hungry East Germans have been crossing into
the Western sectors to seek and accept the
forbidden relief. In doing So they have been
doing more than dramatiZe the miseries i'm
posed upon them by the incompetent and sleazy
Communist regime of Premier" Grotewohl.
In addition-and this is the fact of greater
signifcance-they have been displaying a con-
tinuing spirit of courageous defiance that leaves
no room for doubt about the depth and breadth
of Righteousness in the Soviet zone of occu-
patton
This rebelliouSneSS, which first expressed
itself in the anti-Communist, anti-Kremlin
demonstrations that electrified the world on
June II, has turned out to be anything but
flash in the pan. On the contrary as President
Eisenhower has pointed out in his recent re-
markable letter to Chancellor Adenauer of the
Federal Republic at Bonn, "The continuing
news of disorders in Eastern Germany indicates
a fundamental and lasting determination to
be fully free despite long years of stern Sow
citation" Nothing could better illustrate that
point, at this time, than the spectacularly de-
fant reaction against Red warnings to the
hungry not to take food from the West-dog-
in-the-manger warnings accompanied by the
most ominouS and brutal kind of threats.
Against such background, President Eisen-
hover does not seem to have exaggerated in
predicting to Dr.. Adenauer that the contrast
between Western and Eastern Germany, the
latter with its bankrupt regime and impov
erished economy, will in the long run produce
conditions which should make possible the
liquidation of the present Communist dictator
ship and of the Soviet occupation" Nor does he
seem to have exaggerated in saying that II am
quite certain that future historians, in their
analysis of the causes which will have brought
about the disintegration of the Communist
empire, will single out those brave East Ger
mans who dared to rise against the cannonS
of tyranny with nothing but their bare hands
and their stout hearts"
Anyhow, whatever the future may bring,
hats off to these people who defy Red Army
tanks with sticks and stones. Hats off to them
for thumbing their noses at tyrants who would
deny them the right to have not only liberty
but also bread. Like the West Berliners during
the infamous Soviet starvation blockade, they
have been setting an example that should in
spire men everywhere, the free and the unfree
alike.

Nippinq Crime in the Bud


The Stars fight against crime has
brought about some improvement in
the administration of justice, but Seri-
Gus crimes are still being committed.
Congress has finally decided to do
something for the welfare of the Dis
trict by appropriating funds to hire ad-
ditional policemen who are certainly
needed in this area. However. much
more needs to be done in the training
Of children who show definite trends
toward life Of crime.
A child'S environment, regardless of
racial or economic background, has
lot to do with the development of the
child. One small area has contributed
several persons involved in serious
crimes recently. Some children from
this particular section have been having
trouble with the police before reaching
teen-age. From this point on society
has done a poor job in getting them
back on the right track.
One official at training school has
resigned and made charges that moth
ing constructive has been done to re-
habilitate these children, and what has
been taking place in the District seems
to back up her charges, despite official
denial. There is no question that some
children need special training and de-
spite the efforts of many teachers to
see that some Of their pupils receive
this special training, their efforts have
too often met with failure.

Counsel for Sanitary Commission

On July % at the National Guard
Armory in Silver Spring, the Maryland
Public Service Commission held q hear
ing requested by the Allied Civic Group
to determine the reasonableness Of re-
cent rate increases announced by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission.
Arthur Keefer, who is paid $4,000
a year for part-time services as general
counsel to the Sanitary Commission,
was assisted by William Addison, law
partner Of Gov. McKeldin. Your news
paper reported him as saying he "just
came over to help Keefer."
The propriety of Gov McKeldin's law
partner representing the Sanitary Com
mission at hearing before the Public
Service Commission. both of which the
Governor controls through his appoin-
tive power, is highly questionable. One
wonders what fee, if any. Mr.. Addison
will receive for his services, and how
his presence may affect the outcome
of the case. In my opinion the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commission
should explain why it was necessary
to, avail itself of Mr.. Adelson's counsel.

Edward ]. Mac CIane.

Relative to the fatal shooting Of a
boy by one Of his playmates, who OBJ
tanned loaded pistol from his home,
it occurs to me that the fad or habit
boys have had during recent years of
playing with toy pistols, pretending to
be cowboys or outlaws, may have been
the cause of certain deaths over recent
years by boys who obtained real
revolvers from their homes.
A child seldom has sense enough to
think of the danger his playmates are
in when he Is in possession of a
loaded revolver.

How AntibiOtics Work

We know antibiotics aid poultry
growth, but how?
We know the answer now, says
Bill Tarbell, Kent County. Agricul-
tural Agent.
Antibiotics aid poultry growth
by giving birds partial protection
against harmful bacteria. This is
especially true, and especially help
full in the first few weeks after
Matching.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture tested chicks in old previously
used for poultry quarters and new
quarters, with and without anti
biOtics. Chicks raised in new, clean
quarters and fed a regular diet grew
more efficient than chicks fed an
antibiotic in old quarters. And both
of these groups grew more eff
ficiently than chicks in old quarters
which were not fed antibiotics.
But when chicks were moved from
new to old quarters at four weeks
the antibiotic stopped growth
slumped temporarily. There was nc
such slump when the antibiotiC
was taken from chicks which hat
been kept in old quarters.
Scientists interpreted this tt
mean that the antibiotic helps
build up resistance to harmful bac
terra. Chicks are partially exposed
to bacteria in their environment
and build up a resistance. The anti
biotic fed during the first few week
help the chick, especially in oil
quarters, while it is adjusting to tn
harmful bacteria around it. Mos
poultry producers are unable t
start their chicks in new quarter
every year. The average produce
/ is raising chicks in houses com
parable to the old houses used il
the experiment.

Clean Grain Emphasized
By New Rulings

Stricter enforcement Of Food and
Drug Administration rulings will
make grain buyers more dis
eliminating this year.
That prediction comes from
Donald MacCreary, entomologist Of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. The grain industry
has joined with the j. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture in advocating
higher quality grain and better
grain storage. Shipments Of unclean
grain are subject to seizure and
may be classified as unfit.
The first on the farm step is to
clean up sources of infestation. That
should be done now, before crops
are harvested. Even a few Kernels
left from last year can harbor
enough insects to start a serious
infestation.
MacCreaFy suggests cleaning bins
to remove all bits of grain and dust
from corners and cracks, Then
spray walls and floors with an in
seetiCide. The U. S. Department OF
Agriculture recommends: DOT OF
methOxychlor wettable powder
sprays at 215 percent applied at the
rate of 2 gallons per 1000 square
feet. Or pyrethrum or allethrir
emulsion sprays at O.5 percent con
centration, at gallons per 1,O0(
square feet.
Cleanup should reach all sur
rounding areas. Feed rooms, small
pockets of grain left in machinery
and spilled grain around the build.
ings should be cleaned up and spray
ed
For further protection, check bins
for openings or leaks where
moisture could enter and start rot
Seal all possible entrances for rati
and mice. Clean up old lumber o.
trash plies around the farm whicl
might harbOr rodents.

When soil nitrogen has been re-

by the crop, urea sprays maybe help

Various sprays were studied
between 1949 and 1852 at the Uni
versity Farm and at the research
substation at Georgetown. They
were used on tomatoes, lima beans,
cantalOupes, cucumbers, and pota-
toes. The results of the study are
given in a new leaflet, just publish
ed by the experiment station.

FOliar Nutrition
Sprays--DO They
Help Vegetables

Can vegetable growers increase
yields with foliar nutrient sprays?
No, is the answer from the I'm
versity of Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station. Research in
the department of horticulture in
dicates little or no benefit to veget-
able crops, where applications of
standard fertilizers were used be-
fore planting. Some sprays even
decreased yields on tomatoes and
potatoes.
The results show that vegetables
do not absorb enough plant food
through foliage sprays, to make il
a practical form of applying ferti-
lizer. This is particularly true for
plants requiring large amounts OF
nitrogen and potash, says e. p
Brasher, chairman of the horticul-
ture department.

Spraying Cuts Tomato
Disease Losses

SPRAYING tomatoes with some Of
the new organic compounds is the
best assurance against crop losses
from the common diseases, says
George Vapaa, Associate Kent
County Agent.
He points out that spraying is
a preventive measure, not a cure,
so growers should not wait until
the disease. appears before spray
ing. Fred Fifer, of Wyoming, Bill
Richardson of Lebanon, Parker
and Hughes Of Burrsville, and
Walker Mifflin of Dover, are some
Kent County farmers who regular
ly follow preventive spray pro-
grams. They say (Or quote just
one farmer) that it helps both
quality and yield. And the increase
in yield in bad years more than
makes up for the loss Of yield from
sprayer damage.
George Vapaa advises that
plants be sprayed about 80 days
after the first blossoms appear,
which is about July 1st in Della
ware. Applications should be made
every z to 10 days after, depending
on the weather and the disease
situation. In wet weather more fre-
uuent spraying is necessary.
Chemicals are now available
for spraying tomatoes for early
blight, spetOria leaf spot, gray leaf
spot, late blight, and anthrOcnOse
fruit rot. Sprays are usually more
effective than dusts, because they
stick to the plant better. But if
yields are wet, dusts may be the
only thing that can be applied
effectively.
The Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service recommends any
of the following fungicides: Di-
thane OLA plus zinc sulfate e
: quarts-% lb.); liquid Parzate
plus zinc sulfate g quarts-%
lb.); Dithane Its q lbs.); Par
zate q lbs.); or Manzate g lbs)
The figures after each material are
the amounts to use for each 10(
gallons of water. For dusting, use
any of the following: ParzatC
1871; Dithane ITS (69o); Man
zate (6%o); or a fixed copper (5-7%
