tions with three cases added and
five cancelled

an average of $80.65 per family.
Four new applications were re-
ceived with five cases being added
and a similar number cancelled.
Five blind persons received

that one person had been sent to
the Maryland Training School for
Boys from Garrett county and that
three persons had been discharged,
two from the training school and
one from the Montrose School for
Girls. This left six Garrett county

Clipping Pastures
Is Good Improver

Cows may 5e good harvesters
but they often fall down in the
pasture management end of the
business, as you probably notice.
Joe l.. Newcomer, University of
Maryland Extension agronomist
points out that you can help with
the management end by clipping
pastures.
Clipping is one of the more i'm
portant good management prac-
tees" Newcomer says.
First, clipping takes out old,
tasteless seed heads and lets pas
ture grow new tasty, nourishing
grass at uniform rate. Second, it
checks many annual weeds and pre-
vents some biennials and perennials
such as bull thistle and Canada
thistle from producing seed.
Finally, it maintains a balanced
stand of grasses and legumes and
increases pastures total pro-
ductive ability.
But" Newcomer warns, you
cannot expect all the advantages of
clipping by doing the job only
once The best pasture managers
clip fields three or more times a
year"
BEST time to clip a pasture is
within two days after cattle finish
grazing it and are working on an
other in your rotation. Some farm
crs hook a chain harrow or some
similar rig to the rear of their

Mighty Mo- Begins
Retirement Voyage
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. o.
The battleship Missouri pre-
pared to leave Norfolk today on
a leisurely voyage that will end
in her retirement to the moth
ball fleet.
Both the Navy and civilians
at Norfolk, for eight years the
home port of the 45,000-ton
dreadnaught. planned a rous-
ing sendoff for the historic
vessel on whose decks the Japa-
nese formally surrendered in
1945.
The Missouri will spend three
weeks on the journey to Bremen
ton, Wash.
The decommissioning cere-
monies are not expected to be
carried out until January.
The mothballing of the Mis-
souri, will leave only three of
this country's battleship fleet
still in commission-The Iowa,
the New Jersey and the Wis
consin. At one time, only the
Mighty Mo" was in commits
sion.
On January II, 1850, she ran
aground in Chesapeake Bay off
Fort Monroe and stayed stuck
in the mud for two weeks and a
day before she could be hauled
! free.

Mark Clark and James Van
Fleet showed that Indo-C China
could be saved only by the
efforts of its people themselves.
There was enough manpower
in non-Communist areas to
organize an army of nearly
half a million men-twice the
size Of Ho Chi Minis forces.
Unfortunately the main diff
ficulty in calling this huge
anti-Communist force to arms
was the peoples hatred OF the
French colonial administrators
and the legion of corrupt off,
Gals. In comparison with
these. Ho Chi Mimi and his
Communists were looked on as
real patriots.
We suggested to our French
friends that they leave organi-
cation of the nom Communist
force to us. We offered to send
q contingent Of 5000 officers
and non-coms to Indo-China
to whip into shape a national
force which would be Differed
as far as possible by natives.
This sort of proposition had
worked out very successfully
in Greece and later in Korea.
Both Greece and Korea were
on the verge of falling into
the Reds clutches at the time
we sent in American military
instructors. Greece was saved
by the rapid reorganization Of
her national forces by the Van
Fleet teams. Korea, after hav-
ing suffered serious defeats,
was saved by United Nations
forces which were 80 per cent
American. But in the last
three years, thanks to the ef-
forts OF American military adj
visers. Korea boasts an army of
20 divisions-the best military
force in Asia.

jected our Professionalism

ciple" "a diplomatic word used
very much these days when an
offer is being turned DOWN.
But it demanded that the

commanded by a French gen.
eral and that the instruction
of the Indo-C Chinese armies by
Americans go through French
channels" That would mean

This favoritism and the. failure
to do anything comparable for

again were dramatized in the

the venerable Senator George,
Democrat of Georgia.

reverse OF the spending policies
which for such a long time
have dominated the. thinking

Also, despite the fears abroad
that the Republican Party If
given power would prove it
self to be an "isolationist"
party, the amounts voted for
foreign aid are almost as SUBJ
stantial as in previous years.
Only a handful of votes from
both parties were cast against
the policy of building a bull
wark against Communism
abroad by bolstering the eco
nomic strength of the allied
nations.
To say all this lis not to
ignore the fact that partisan
ship did exist and play an i'm
portant part in the proceed
ings of Congsess. The squabble
over public power versus pri-
vate power cut to some extent
across party lines but it was
largely a fight and filibuster
engineered by the Democratic
Party.
The blame for the failure
of the amendments to the
Taft-Hartley Act is a difficult
one to explain because motives
for the large Democratic vote
cast to kill the amendments
sponsored by the administra-
ton are not easy to expose
to view. Actually the Southern
Democrats who helped to bury
the Eisenhower proposals were
temporary allies of the North

In the last century diplo-

elusive privilege of high Of
ficials who regarded the pub
lie as insuficiently prepared
to pass Judgment on their

Today, with communications
speeding contact between gov

become, with a few excep-
tions. mere striped pants

that the public must receive
only the scantiest of informa-

The American people have
not yet been told the full
meaning Of the surrender of
Indo-C China to the Commun-
lists. Nor have they been
warned Of its eventual impact
on our defense in the Pacific.
Only have we been given to
understand that while the
French were forced to hoist
the white flag. a part of Wet
