were still in their final session,
said details would be made pub
lie later tonight.
The action came after new
debate on methods of easing the
complexities of life in divided
Germany and after Russia re-
fused to make any concession on
Austria's continued occupation.
Earlier American authorities
said the Big Four had ap-
preached agreement on the
Geneva parley, awaiting only
Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
TOYS concurrence in a clause
spelling out that the meeting
itself would not constitute
United States recognition Of the
Peiping government.
Major Dividend of Farley.
The Geneva meeting would
be the one major dividend from
the otherwise fruitless Berlin
conference. 1
In the first hour and a half Of
the last session the Big Four
heard two new proposals from
Austria for an independence
treaty, listened to a fiat veto
from Russia's v. M. Molotov and
buried the issue finally.
Austrian Foreign Minister Leo
pold Figl tried to meet Moscow's
demands for indefinite occupa-
ton even after an independence
treaty is signed with Cd a sug-
gestion that the troops stay there
until June 80, 1855 and (2) bar
ring that. the occupation dlplo-
matte missions retain certain
control authority. To both Mr..
Molotov said no.
Nearing Adjournment.
Then the Big Four, nearing
the adjournment gong, moved
to the German and European Sc
curity question for its last airing.
The proposed Geneva confer
ence would embrace about 20
nations-16. including America,
Britain and France, which
fought on the United Nations
side in Korea-South Korea,
Russia, Red China and North
Korea
Today-last of the Berlin
talks-Mr. Dulles and Foreign
Ministers Eden. Bidault and
Molotov held their sixth secret
session on sponsoring the new
conference. They met for an
hour and Is minutes. Then
they broke up to reassemble
later in the open meeting.
Disarmament Effort Seen.
It was considered probable
that the Big -Four would issue
a statement favoring disarm-
ament efforts in line with a
resolution adopted by the United
Nations last fall, which called
on all nations to work for arms
cutbacks.
Western diplomats said the
convening of a conference on
Korea could lead Immediately
to a conference on ending the
1ndo-China war. They said this
was true because the Western
powers had relaxed their condi-
tion that progress in making a
Korean settlement would be nee
essary before any negotiation
could take place in Indo- China.
The Big Four and Red China
would participate in both the
Korean and Indo-Chinese talks,
since all five are considered "in-
tereSted parties" in both. North
and South Korea would not take
part on 1ndo-China. They would
be replaced by the anti-Com-
munist governments of the three
associated states of Indo-C China.
1t was considered probable, too,
that the powers would treat
1ndo-China guerrilla leader Ho
Chi Minis Communist organ
lzation as an interested party
and include him.

between plants in the row made
little difference. 1t was the over
all space available to the plant
that counted most.
Recently developed spray pro-
grams have led to a re-study Of
the best spacing of tomatoes, the
researchers explain. Provision
must now be made for sufficient
space between rows to move spray
ing equipment without iniuring the
plants.
Results of tomato placing ex-
periments show that the plants can
be set in rows four, five or six
feet apart without reducing yields,
providing the plants are set cor
respondingly closer in the wider
rows" reports Brasher.
Most local growers are now set
ting their tomatoes in rows five
feet apart with the plants three
feet apart in the row for large
vined varieties, and two feet apart
for the small-vined types. Some
large-vined plants are set in six
foot rows two and half feet
apart in the row. The choice of
planting distance depends upon the
row spacing which best fits the
spraying equipment available to
the grower, Brasher concludes.

Small-vined or dwarf type toma-

of the injured, and completion of
the mission.
The Civil Air Patrol was organi-
Zed in 1941 by a group Of civilian
pilots who could not qualify for
the Armed Services, yet they
wanted to help out in some manner.
In 1916 the Civil Air Patrol was
designated as the auxiliary of the
Air Force by the provisions of Pub
lie Law 557. The primary purpose
of the CAP provides an Organiza-
ton which encourages and aids
American citizens in the contribu-
tion of their efforts, services, and
resources in the development of
aviation and i'm the maintenance
of air supremacy. Also the CAP
provides aviation education and
training especially to it's senior
and cadet members; it encourages
and fosters civil aviation in local
communities and provides an or
ganization of private citizens with
adequate facilities to assist in
meeting local and national emer-
gencies. During the first six months
of 1858 more than 1870 of ALI
search and rescue missions flown
were by Civil Air Patrol. Also they
fly blood lift missions and other
emergencies.
The Milford Squadron meets the
second and fourth Tuesday eve
nings at 1880 p. m. at the Milford
Airpark and is commanded by
Captain Michael GrOverman.

pressure hose, which contains 200
feet of hose attached to a triggered
gun-like nozzle. Each boy had a
chance to try this, which privilege
was nearly fought over. Then a fire
line was made with another fire
lighting tool, the rake, a special

A project which Troop 100 will
undertake is to aid the Forest Serv-
ice in clearing land downstate for

in Glendale Swamp on Route 113.
This will entail a days work by
each boy under the Forest Service
supervision. This was one of the

leader training meeting on Thurs
day, March 25, at Viola Community
Hall. Robert l.. Stevens, Exten-
sion HOrticulturist, was the teach
er. He pointed out the different
types of flower arrangements, and
the lines which make pleasing ar
rangements.
Here are some of the most i'm
pOrtant rules to follow: Use flow
ers with stems cut at different
length. Do not allow flower stems
to cross each other. Use buds and
light cOlOTs at the top and the
large open flowers and dark cOlOrs
at the center and bottom Of the
arrangement. Seletc a simple con-
tainer in neutral color; be sure
that the cOntainer has a wide base.

on the streets of the town for be-
ing drunk. Early on the morning
of September q, the Wells woman
was seen lying in the weeds in the
yard in the rear of the house. Po-
lice were notified and she was TAX
en- to Milford Memorial Hospital
where she died later that day. An
autopsy performed by DR.. OtalIar
POllack showed that the woman
died as a result of shock from cx-
cessive intercTanial hemmorhages
caused by blows on the head and
also revealed extensive hemmOr-
hayes in the stomach and intes-
tines, and bodily bruises. MumfOrd
was arrested and following ar
raignment before Magistrate King
was committed to SUSSEX Prison
on September 2S to await trial.
Indicted in October he was ar
raigned before Judge Daniel L.
Hermann, on October 5 and
pleaded guilty. The COurr, how
ever, refused to take the guilty
plea due to the serious nature of
the indictment. Frederick P. Whit
ney was appointed by the Court
to defend MumfOrd. The case has
been continued since that time.
In Court, Mumford pleaded "Not
guilty to the charge of End degree
murder, but guilty of manslaugh-
ter" The plea was accepted for
the State by Deputy Attorney Cen
eral John J. McNeilley
Mr.. Whitney, counsel for Num-
ford, asked the consideration of the
Court in sentencing Mumford cite
ing his war record-six years of
service, in the u. S. Army with 81
months overseas in Europe during
World War II and since that time
has been an employee of ]. G.
| Townsend and Son, Inc, in George
town, being a steady and valuable
worker. He also pointed out that
! MumfOrd aided in caring for his
aged mother. Mr.. Whitney brought
out the fact that the Wells wo-
man was the mother of several
children by the husband from
whom she had lived apart for sew
eral years. Also emphasized was
the fact that the defendant claim
ed he had attempted to make the
woman go in the house. since she
was on the street making a dis
turbance. When she refused to go
in the house he struck her a num-
! Der of times and then left the
premises. According to the best
evidence Obtainable the Wells wO-
man made her way in the house
and was not seen again until the
next morning after having lain in
the yard all night thinly clad and
in a pouring rain for most of the
time.
Judge Carey told MumfOrd he
was taking into consideration all
the facts presented but "The fact
remains you did take a human life
and while / am inclined to be as
lenient as possible, / must impose
a substantial sentence. You are
hereby sentenced to pay costs OF
prosecution and to be imprisoned
in Sussex County Prison for q
period of ten years. beginning on
September %, 1853. and endina
SeDtember q, 1863"
MumfOrd had no previous Grim.
inal record, except for arrests foI
drunkenness. During the time he
has been imprisoned he had been
given a thorough psychiatric ex.
animation.
