GI Who Lost Leg
In Korea Wins Fight
For Citizenship
By Howard [. Dutkin

domingo Car0Ona, 25-year-Old
native of the Philippines, won
American citizenship today. He
go it the hard way-the way he
won the Silver Star for bravery
in Korea and lost a leg in the
doing.
Naturalization authorities had
interpreted the residence law in
such a way as to deney the 45th
Division infantryman citizenship.
Nor could the smoke and flame
and heroism of the Korean bat
tleground obscure that legalistic
Interpretation.
So Pfc. Cardona sat rigid and
detected at the naturalization
ceremonies today in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia. His hands nervously
clenchced his aluminium crutches.
Name after name of the lucky
ones who had been approved for
citizenship were tolled of. There
were 100 in all-but not Pfc.
Cardona's.
Attorney Tells Court.
Then, the ceremony over, At
torney Jack Wasserman. serving
without fee, addressed the court.
He described the residence law
as requiring residence for q sim
gle period of at least one year
in this country or its territories
at the time of entering the armed
forces before a soldier may take
advantage Of a 90-day naturali-
zation provision.
He told how Pfc. Cardona had
lived two years in Guam from
1850 to 1852 as a civilian en-
ploye of the Army. But. he ad-
mitted. the soldier had left Guam
for three months to visit the
Philippines shortly before his
induction.
Mr.. Wasserman said immigra-
ton authorities had interpreted
the law to mean that the soldier
must have maintained contin-
uous residence for a year before
induction.
Judge. Matthew F. MCGUIRE.
with a sideIong glance at the SOL
dier's decorations and empty left
trouser leg. remarked:
IF I take the literal Of the
section, then he does not con-
form. But if ! take the broad
meaning of the statute as q whole
and then take into consideration
the fact that he has performed
the highest duty Of citizenship
he served in the armed forces
and lost a leg-to apply the law
as the immigration Service would
have me apply it this particular
case would be to strain at a gnat
and swallow q camel and I'm not
going to swallow a camel. Ill
admit him." p
Friend Came to Rescue.
The soldiers face lit up and he
grasped the hand Of Mr.. Wasser-
man and then that of his buddy,
Corpl. John Hewlett.
It was Corpl. Hewlett who first
came to the rescue of Pfc. Car
dona in the citizenship dilemma.
Corpl. Hewlett told reporters
how he had met Pfc. Cardona
at Walter Reed where both men
were entering surgery together.
The corporal said he realized
Pfc. Cardona's difficulties in
fighting the case handicapped as
he was. with only one leg and
both ear drums shattered.
So the corporal communicated
with the Office of Representative
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
crat. of New York. Wheels were
set in motion and the House
immigration Committee sug-
gested Mr.. Wasserman be called
in.
Pfc. Cardona received his
wounds while acting as the
point" of a patrol action last
January 16.

Shedding Accident
Kills Boy; Five Die
ShoveIing Snow

A 13-year -old boy died at Dis
trict General Hospital early to-
Gay in the first Shedding fatality
Of the winter. He was the latest
of six persons in the Washington
area whose deaths were attrib-
uted to snow-inspired activities.
The other five deaths were all
blamed on the overexertion of
shoveling snow.
1t. Albert Nicholson of the
Accident Investigation Unit said
as far as he recalls the Shedding
death was the first in 10 years.
Dead in the Shedding tragedy
was Marvin G. Goodman, COL
ored, of the 1900 block of Savan-
nah place Sc, who struck a car
while coasting down Eighteenth
street Sc. with a group of friends
Yesterday afternoon.
Police listed the driver of the
car as S/Sergt. Daily U. Cumber,
colored, 30, of the 1000 block of
Savannah street Sc, who is sta
toned at Boiling Air Force Base. |
Says He Decided to Stop.
Sergt. Cumber told police that
as he was driving up Eighteenth
street Sc. near the intersection
with Trenton place. he saw the
boys coasting toward him and
decided to stop as a safety pre-
caution. He said the other boys
swerved their sledS to avoid hit |
ting him but the Goodman boy |
rammed into the front of his |
stopped car.
The boy was taken to District |
General Hospital in critical con- |
dition with a broken right leg.
broken left hip and fractured |
skull. He died at $50 am. to-
day. His death was listed as the
NTH traffic fatality of the year.
compared with three at this time
last year.
Police said Eighteenth street
was not blocked off for Shedding.
Deaths From Exertion.
The following deaths were at
tributed by physicians to over
from snow shoveling:
Francis c. Sumner, So, COL
ored, of 11l6 Fairmont street
NV. head of the psychology de-
partment at Howard University,
who collapsed and fell down his
snow-covered front steps while
Shoveling snow. DR.. CHRISTOPHER
j. Murphy. the Districts acting
coroner. said the death was
caused by overexertion rather
than by injuries from the fall.
Herbert H. Howard, 68, of
65l4 Seventh place NV, a rail-
way mail clerk with more than
40 years service, who was found
dead in the hallway of his home
early yesterday by his wife,
Edna. after both had been
shoveling snow about midnight.
DR.. Murphy said the victim died
of a heart attack induced by his
exertion.
George w. Robbins. about 70,
q retired Government account
ant. who collapsed and died yes
terday afternoon just after he
began shoveling snow from the
sidewalk in front of his home at
SOB N street S.W. His physician.
Dr.. Henry G. Hadley. attributed
the death to a heart attack,
William o. Grimes, 72, of 1920
Fifty-ninth avenue, Hillside. Md,

NN--SNN@NN-N
Montana and other western ranch and
farm people, 1 have become impressed
with what | believe to be fact about
the uses of our agricultural soils. This
is that only in comparatively recent
years has soil science come of age"
in understanding soil chemistry and
physics and in knowing how to apply
this information in practical soil man.
agement.
AS a background for this ''thumbnail
sketch which l am going to try to do
of soils and their management, l am
going to outline the main soil regions
and soil types of the United States. In
doing this, I want to emphasize that
these general concepts may be bit
over-simplified, that I'm trying to give
an overall view, not details.
Five Soil Types
Soil science has come to recognize
that there are several principal group
ings of similar soil types, worldwide.
Most of these great soil groups occur
within the continental United States.
In the us. we have, as our main soil
groups:
1. In the east-north-central parts of
the US, the soils formed under tenn
perate zone deciduouS rain forest.
Q In the west-central parts of the
US, the prairie soils, formed under
tall grass cover and by a moderate
rainfall.
8. In the western great plains, the
brown soils, formed by semi-arid to
arid climate, under a cover of the mid
grasses and the short grasses.
4. The grayish desert soils of the in
termountain plateaus of the western
US, formed in an arid climate and
under a short grass and desert shrub
vegetative cover.
5. The oxidized and leached red soils
of the humid and sub-trOpical parts OF
the southeast.
/
are among the better of our agricul
tural soils, though they tend to be acio
in their PHI reaction. This occurs be
cause the tree vegetation that was i'm
portant in the formation Of these soil:
feeds upon the acids more than upo1
the bases, and because heavy rainfall
has leached much of the soluble bases
down into the subsoil An understand
ing of this soil characteristic and of it
nature. has led to corrective actor
through the present widespread appi
cation of lime to the soils of this re
gion.
Prairie Soils Best
The soils of the second group, tn
prairie soils, are the best of our ayr
cultural soils. They have an ample tor
soil, good mineral and organic fertility
good structure, and usually, good te1
ture. They have as rule a good ba
ance between acidity and alkalinit!
In the words of the soil scientist, thes
soils are neutral in their PHI reaction
However, nearly 100 years of agricu
tural crop usage of most of these sol
has taken enough of the calcium ar
phosphorus from them to make the
deficient in these very essential ell
ments of mineral fertility. Neglect

understood, and it is now economically
feasible to restore most of these soils
to their original natural productivity,
or better

feasible to restore most of these soils
to their original natural productivity,
or better.
Western Plains Soils
In their original and natural cOndi-
tion the brown soils of the western
great plains regions were high in min
eral fertility, and low in their nitrogen
fertility This is true because the soils
of an arid climate do not have their
soluble mineral fertility leached out
of the topsoil by heavy rainfall, and
because nitrogen fertility forms slowly
under the more limited vegetative pro-
duction and life processes of arid
climates. The brown soils are as a
rule productive agricultural soils, other
than for their limited nitrogen supply.
They have as rule a good supply of
available phosphorus, a good balance
between acidity and alkalinity, with a
tendency toward the latter, and an ade-
quate supply of the trace" mineral
elements.
AS our western dryland agriculture
uses up the limited nitrogen of these
soils, it will become necessary to find
ways to replenish the nitrogen. One
way to do this would be to return the
land from wheat to grasses and le-
gumes, in a long-run rotation, but this
is not very practical in our present
western dryland farm economy. We do
appear, however, to be developing some
economically practical methods for
chemically replacing the nitrogen in
the western dry-farm lands.
Some of the desert soils have an ex-
cessive amount of certain topsoil min
erals, due to the fact that the arid
climate hasn't leached them out of the
topsoil, other than to concentrate them
in the lower part of the topsoil in the
'lime zone" that usually occurs in
such soils. This gives rise to the salin-
ity and alkalinity problems of some
irrigated areas where the subsoil drain
age of the irrigation water is made
quate.
Irrigated Land
For most of the western irrigated
areas, the natural nitrogen lack OF the
soil can in time be greatly helped
through the farming practices that
help the organic processes form soil
nitrogen. However, it is now often good
economics to augment this with chem
ically applied nitrogen, rather than
depend entirely upon natures biology
Where the soils of an irrigated area
have lack of phosphorus or Of one
of the other elements of mineral fer
tility, the only corrective measure i!
to add the right amounts to the sol

commercial sources. Many of the crop
