prosecution to Congressional wit
ncsses i'm order to permit them to
testify about subvclsion
National defense was another
paramount problem. Congress -
with the responsibility Of providing
funds for defense undertook to
provide more nearly what the
Armed Forces could realistically
accept. For instance, it was found
that great deal of money could
be saved by ordering new and more
powerful weapons. and correcting
errors that had been made in
scheduling deliveries Of equipment
So fast that the schedules could
not be met
Putting the economy in order was
third great task undertaken by
the S3rd Congress. Careful budg-
citing helped save us SO billion
cash from the expenditures planned
for last year by the outgoing Ad-
ministration. It's expected that an
other 81 billion will be saved this
year. And the highway-aid bill
passed this year should spell long
range Improvements in the econo-
my.
A part Of this economic picture
was the matter Of individual well
fare. A new farm law written in
hopes it could lead us out Of The
muddle which piled up huge sur
pluses in government hands while
farm income declined. We passed
new housing act liberalizing re-
strictions ON government-backed
loans The addition Of millions of
more persons to the social security
and unemployment compensation
programs should have a long-run
benefit.
On my calendar: Sunday I'll at
tend the Frostburg Fire Depart
ment's crab feast at Y.M.I. Park.
Wednesday I'll be at the Pang-
born Company's ANNUAL open house
in Hagerstown.

Along The Potomac
With Your Congressman
Dewitt S. HYDE

The record Of the S3rd Congress
will get a good talking in the
coming months, 50 | thought it
proper to make a little summary
of it as we adjourn. (When you get
to trying to write it all down, it's
surprising what a tremendous
amount Of ground Congress has
covered.
Our work has been set in an att
mosphere of unusual cooperation
between the White House and Con
gress. Representatives or leaders
in both establishments have always
discussed the shaping and outlook
Of legislation before it has been
presented to the sessions Of this
Congress. That the final laws have
been highly acceptable to the
President is shown by his low rec
ord of vetoes.
National security was a COM
handing problem when the S3rd
Congress convened. TO meet it. we
tackled a variety Of bills-many of
them difficult to write within the
framework of our Constitution and
traditional civil liberties. Among
other things, however, we have
taken the legal rights and priv 4
leges away from the Communist
Party, and we have provided for
the granting of immunity from

unlikely to push for admission elsewhere But the prob
lem in counties would be something else with scattered
Negro population.
mat there will be a considerable trend among par
ens able to afford it to transfer their children private
schools not affected by the decision cannot be denied
But the vast majority of families will have continue
to depend public schools if their children are to be
educated properly
Because this is prelude to ending all segregation
no matter in what form practced, the decision marks
the end of era in the South.
A wholly unwecome feature from the Negroes angle
is pointed out by Dr. A. L. James, only Negro member
of the Roanoke City School Board Heretofore Negro
teachers had to compete only among themselves Now
they will be forced to compete with white teachers and
at considerable disadvantage
Local school boards however, necessarily will have
to await action of the General Assembly and State Board
of Education in dealing with any phase of the matter
The best advice offer to both white and
colored citizens is to take it easy Nothing is to be
gained by display of anger iconceved aggressive
action.
The problem is will have to live with and
solve by and Christian forebearance.-

For Problem Soil
For Problem Soil
Synthetic Soil Conditioners
Tests Prove Home Gardens Get Big Boost
From New Products-Fertiiizing Still Needed
ByR {. Wester and H. T. Hopkins
BY R. (. Wester and H. T. Hopkins
Agricultural Research Service

Many home gardeners run into
problem soil" that's tight and
heavy. 1t looks good at planting
time-but one pounding rain
cakes such soil and packs it
down. Seedlings have a hard
time getting through. More rain,
together with trampling of the
soil, makes the situation worse
as the season moves along.
What's the trouble? Such
problem soils are loaded with fine
silt or clay, or both. And there's
shortage of humus-from decay
ing organic matter-which binds
tiny soil particles into larger
crumbs, or aggregates.
