melancholy Outcome"
A month later the State De-
partment suspended Mr.. Davies
and started new security pro-
ceedings. Hearings, and finally
Mr.. Davies dismissal, followed.
Mr.. Davies commented that this
was a melancholy outcome" but
he said he would not challenge
the decision.
Mr.. Davies asked. however,
that the State Department make
public "the whole record on my
case, including my 1850 recon-
that we seek a pre-
ventive showdown with the
Soviet Union"
The State Department had no
comment on the request for pub
lication of the record. Neither
was there any comment on this
first disclosure that Mr.. Davies
ever recommended a preventive
showdown"-perhaps meaning a
preventive WARMTH the Soviet
Union.
State Department officials were
unable to say what effect the
dismissal would have on Mr..
Davies retirement benefits, but
the New York Times said he
loses those benefits which he
otherwise could have collected
in less than four years.
The decision to fire Mr.. Davies
came almost on the eve of the
opening of Senate debate on
Monday on cenSure charges
against Senator Mccarthy. The
Wisconsin Republican was sure
to count the head of Mr.. Davies
as one Of his trophies in his
four-year battle over alleged
communism in Government.

after personally examining the
voluminous record, agreed.
George F. Kennan, head of the
State Department policy plan
ming staff in the Truman admin
istration and former Ambassador
to Russia, deplored the dismissal
of Mr.. Davies as "a tragic mis-
understanding" Mr.. Kennan,
who is now at the Institute for
Advanced Studies at Princeton,
N. j.. told a reporter by phone:
HE deserved better of the
Government than a long ordeal
of unfortunate. repetitious in

that preoccupied the last years
Of his governmental service. He

sions. I have the greatest re-

Called Ill-Advised.
Mr.. Kennan said the news will
cause great sadness and dis
couragement" among career dip
lomats and he hopes the record
of the case can be made public
"in order that the Judgment of
the public can supplement the
judgment Of the Government,
which I am convinced has been
ill-advised."

Subcommittee Approves Borfieff's Bill to Extend APW Program

Subcommittee approval was given this week to Delegate E. L. Bartlett's bill to extend the life of the Alaska Public Works pro- gram for four years.
 In taking the action, accord ing to the Washington News-Let- ter of this week, the territories subcommittee of the House Interi- or and Insular Affairs Committee, voted to amend the bill so as to bring the original law. approved on August 24, 1949, into confor- mity with actual practice. The termination date of the present law is set at June 30, 1855, and Delegate Bartlett's bill would ex- tend the expiration date until June 30, 1859.
 At the present time there are some 54 unprocessed applications for projects totalling approxi- mately $34 million for which money has not yet been appro- priated. Delegate Bartlett is seek ing the four-year extension of the program since it is readily appar- ent that the full authorized amount of STD million will not be made available through appro- priations by June 30, 1855. Gov ernor Heintzelman appeared be- fore the subcommittee in behalf of Delegate Bartlett's bill.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

We can be glad we are not troubled with one problem on sur pluses that is appearing in the States. That is, what to do with those acres that are diverted from crops under acreage restrictions. Grain farmers in the States are on quota of about 60 percent of for mer acreage. This applies if they wish to participate in the price support program. What to plant on that land coming out of grain is the question. The best use, from conservation standpoint, is to seed it back to grass. The trouble there is that dairy surpluses are large. Cattle feeders also can't afford to feed out beef cattle be- cause of the low price of beef and the high supported price of feed grains. The net result is no market for grass, hay or pasture. The probable solution may be a conservation payment for those acres retired from cultivation.
 We apparently had a potato acreage surplus in Alaska last season. We are fortunate in the Valley though that the excess acreage can go into forage pro- duction. That is one great advan- tage of diversified agriculture. Farmers in the Panama Valley are not so we'll off. With most of them having no stock, it is raise

spuds or quit farming.
 Some diversification in farm crops is a necessity to good con- servation farming. None of us can raise every crop we can grow here, but most of us can diversity some. We can rotate vegetable cash crops with brome, grain and hay. Now is the time of year to start thinking about this springs plantings. An inflexible rotation system almost never works for long, but general plan of rotat- ing soil building grass crops with cash crops is always good busi- ness. It is also good farming. Start rotating.

 Did you ever think you'd be in fight which you could never win. That when you got your op- ponent down for the count of nine you had to let him up to regain his breath and rest. That's the kind of fight Chuck Bergland just returned from in Korea. He was just recently released from the hospital stateside.

 The last week was observed as Boy Scout Week in honor of it's founding A years ago. To mark the closing of the week, the Boy Scouts Council in Anchorage held Rally.

We also were led through a conduct ed tour of radio station KENI. The Anchorage police force was very nice, too. They let us park our cars in a one hour zone across from the school-and they didn't give us ticket. We phon- ed them first-asking permission.

Mrs. Eckwood Solomon. Mrs. Ern-

This lovely occasion was espec-
tally distinctive by the decorations
provided by Leo B. Warren, HING,

Was a most appropriate back
ground for the occasion. Hundreds
of Hibiscus in colors of red and
white predominating were most
attractively arranged in the large
ported ferns behind a little white
picket fence and on either side of
the garden furniture also IN white.
The effect was breath-taking as
it complemented the garden table
which had been placed upon it a
huge bouquet of red and white
carnations.
The bouquet was given to Mrs.
Sackler at the conclusion of the
ceremony. Her words of apprecia-
ton for this honor were brief but
very heart-warming.
