lime Important
To Garden Soils

While we are between crops, in
a sense, we should be thinking Of
ways to improve our garden soils.
Much needed organic matter
may be added through the use of
stable manures or summer and fall
green crops to be turned under.
These materials will make heavy
soils easier 10 work and will give
sandy soils better water holding
capacity and along with that, there
$ the added fertility.
But what | wish TO talk about is
soil acidity and the use Of lime.
Many gardeners do not understand
the proper use of lime because
they do not know the needs OF TIE
individual crops. Also. they do
not know how acid their soil is.
1t is foolish to add lime to soil if
YOU do not know that il needs lime
or that the crops to be grown re-
quire more lime.
Lime reduces soil acidity. Most
vegetable crops will thrive in
slightly acid (ph to CD soils
but there are a number of them
that will not thrive at all in very
acid (ph AS to so sui,s-thcsc
are asparagus, spinach. onions. Gel
cry, lettuce, beets, muskmelons.
cauliflower bronccoli. parsnips.
okra and satisfy. Crops such as
beans, cucumberS, watermelons.
corn, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes
and tomatoes are quite tolerant of
very acid soils-in face. it is de-
sirable for watermelons. Ii is also
desirable to grow Irish potatoes
on quite acid soils in order to pre-
vent the development of potato
scab, a serious disease which is
made worse by lining the soil.
The soil testing laboratory OF
the N. c. Department of Agricul-
ture, Raleigh, will test your soil
free of charge and tell you how
much lime TO use. That leaves no
excuse for not knowing the correct

acidity Of your soil. Take sample:
by slicing the soil with a spade or
trowel to a depth of four to six
inches. This will give you soil
from the top as well as lower
down. Thoroughly mix and send
about one pint to the laboratory.
II your garden is large take sam
pies from more than one location.
1t is possible that your county
agent has equipment for making
simple soil tests.

To Head off Slump
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July IT,
w. P. Kennedy of Cleveland.
President of the 215, 900 member
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, called today for broad
Government action to head off
a threatened business depres-
sion"
Mr.. Kennedy was a speaker at
the international convention of
the brotherhood's auxiliary.
II don't need to tell many of
you that despite the recent rosy
statements of conditions and
Forecasts, the economic picture
is not what it ought to be, nor
what it can be in a Nation SO
eingularly blessed as ours, Mr.,
Kennedy declared.
: Best answer those in power
seem to have to the challenge
said Mr.. Kennedy, lis that every
thing is all right and that there
is nothing to worry about. He
said $4,000 railroad trainmen
are either totally without work
or are working greatly reduced
schedules, and "are having a
desperate struggle to feed. clothe
and take care of their families. -
Mr.. Kennedy called for lower
interest rates on homes, crop
support and farm housing loans
and broad public works pro-
gram for schools, hospitals
health facilities. roads, power
dams, irrigation. flood control
sradar defense systems and civil
defense facilities.

we didn't have class for &C.
year-old parachutists. but that
I could use his help in rounding
UP some younger men. DR.. Rhee
did give us considerable help in
recruiting young Koreans who
were dropped into China and
who were again of assistance
during the Korean fighting"
Patient for 40 Years.
DR.. Rhee's impatience with
delay so far as Korea's indie
pendence was concerned often
was evidenced when he did get
audiences with American off,
Gals. Col. Goodfellow recalls that
at one such conference a young
officer told DR.. Rhee that he
must ''be patient" BE patient!"
exploded DR.. Rhee. I've been
patient for 40 years!"
DR.. Harris, Col. Goodfellow
and other old friends of DR.. Rhee
look upon his scheduled cordial
reception here as an honor long
deferred.
As always in matters concern
ing DR.. Rhee, however, there are
discordant notes. One came from
Yongjeung Kim, president of the
Korean Affairs Institute, who
knew DR.. Rhee during his years
here. Mr.. Kim commented caus-
tically that sit would be greatly
to the interest of the United
States on this occasion to make
him (Dr. Rhee) understand he
should practice some measure of
democracy in South Korea"
Diverse opinions of DR.. Rhee
undoubtedly will continue as
long as he is a public figure. But
he has one characteristic that
even his critics must admit-a
staunch anti-communism of long
standing.
During a conference with a
high United States official in
Korea in 1916 when the official
told DR.. Rhee that he must COM
promise with the Communists
and form coalition govern
ment, the angry Korean broke
up the meeting with the angry
retort:

Compensation Is Sci
For Oil Firm in Iran
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN. Iran, July IT.
Finance Minister Ali Amin told
newsmen today the Anglo-Ir Ira
MAN Oil Co. will receive 73 mil
lion pounds t$204.4 million) COM
pensation for the Abadan Re-
finery and installations which
were nationalized by Iran in
1851.
The refinery and other assets
in Iran have been generally rated
as worth about 81 billion. The
question of compensation has
been one of the biggest stun
bling blocks to q settlement of
the oil question.
Mr.. AInini said Iran will pay
one eighth Of the total compen-.
sation, and the remainder will
be paid by eight oil companies
dominated by American and
British capital. which have
formed a consortium to operate
the long-idled property.
The consortium, which In
cludes AIOC, will have 10 years
in which to pay its share.
Mr.. Amini said the production
at the giant refinery for the
first year had been fixed at 1875
million tons. To induce the
consortium to boost the output
to the maximum. he added, Iran
has agreed to slash the price of
crude oil by 5 per cent after the
first year.

associate Of those days, Dr.. Rhee
was avoided, ignored or put of
with vague promises. When he
mailed his credentials to the
State Department shortly after
Pearl Harbor.~ for example, he
was asked to come and take them
away again.
Was Regarded as 'Pest."
Such treatment did not deter
the persistent little Korean, nor
did he mind being called a 'pest. :"
He had been a pest" to various
people since 1897 when he led
a demonstration which won him
life sentence. and six months
Of torture. Freed by an amnesty
in 1904, he came to the United
States and earned degrees at
George Washington University,
Harvard and Princeton.
DR.. Rhee returned in 1910 to
his homeland. then occupied by
Japan, but his stay there was
short. His anti-Japanese activ-
tiles forced him to flee in 1912.
In 1919, DR.. Rhee was elected
president Of a Korean Provisional
Government. which he directed
from Shanghai. From then on,
he spent much of his time seek
ing United States recognition for
that government, declaring that
America is the hope of Korea. :"
But recognition never came for
the provisional government.
When DR.. Rhee returned to
Korea in 1945. he went with
Army approval as a private citi-
zen who could help unravel the
political tangle there. And when
the Republic of Korea was finally
established in 1948, he became its
first president.
Predicted Communist Invasion.
DR.. Rhee's plans for Korea
were interrupted abruptly 4 in
June, 1850, when the Connrnu-
nists began to move south across
the line Of partition as he pre-
dicted they would. He resumed
his role as a thorn in the side
of United States officials with a
vengeance when the shooting
stopped, denouncing the armis-
tice agreement, threatening re-

peatedly to renew the war and
freeing $1,000 anti Communist
North Korean prisoners of war.
Probably DR.. Rhee's closest per-
sonal friend in Washington was
the Rev. Frederick Brown Har-
ris, pastor of Foundry Metho-
dist Church. DR.. Harris recalls
that he and Mrs. Harris were
DR.. Rhee'S only companions at
a 10th birthday dinner in 1945
and that 'fmy study was the last
place to which he came in 1945
before he left for Korea" un-
der the sponsorship of the United
States Army. DR.. Rhee said, DR..
Harris explains, "that the study
meant so much to he he wanted
it to be the place from which he
left to return home"
DR.. Harris said that some of
DR.. Rhee's friends became dis
couraged at times over his fail
ure to get the attention of the
State Department and the White
House, but the silver-haired lit
tie Korean never lost faith;
he believed in his cause with a
flaming devotion"
Slandered and Smeared.
DR.. Harris considers DR.. Rhee
lone of the great men of our
generation" He says:
"Syngman Rhee has been
slandered and smeared, but there
is not q drop of dictatorial blood
in his veins. People don't real
ize what conditions were like in
his country or that democracy
couldn't be introduced there &C
cording to the American pat
tern. DR.. Rhee is a true be-
lever in democracy"
DR.. Rhee's spirit and love OF
direct action are revealed by the
recollections of Col. M. Preston
Goodfellow, publisher and war;
time assistant to Gen. William
Donovan when he was head OF
the Office of Strategic Services
Col. Goodfellow relates that
DR.. Rhee came to him in 1912
and demanded that he be trained
as a parachutist and be dropped
into Korea to organize anti
japanese forces. The colonel
recalls:

Clio, ALL Men Aid
Guatemala Unions
Deserted by Reds
BY the Assoeioted Press

GUATEMALA, July 1.-Two
emissaries of organized labor in
the United States joined forces
here today to help Guatemala s
unions get back on their feet.
Communist power in labor was
bulwark of ousted President
Jacobo Arbenz Guzman's regime.
Daniel Benedict, CLIO repre-
sentative. and Seraf1no Romu-
adj of the AFL arrived here
independently but promptly de-
cided to cooperate in moving
into the vacuum left by run
away Communist union officials,
most of whom have taken asylum
in embassies or fled into the
jungles.
Mr.. Benedict and Mr.. Romu-
aldo met today with Ruben
Villatoro, young president of the
small Association of Free Work
ers. and Arnoldo Often, head
of the Railwaymen's Union, at
present the strongest union in
Guatemala with an estimated
10000 members.
Informed sources said the two
American union representatives
were in touch with Col. Carlos
Castillo Armas. president of the
junta now ruling Guatemala.
Col. Castillo Armas repeatedly
plans to issue a decree with
drawing government recognition
from all labor groups as pres
emily organzed--a move strongly
opposed by Guatemalan labor
and also by the AFL and CLIO
spokesman.
Mr.. Romualdi and Mr.. Bene-
dict were believed preparing to
ask Col. Castillo Armas formally
early next, week to withhold the
decree indefinitely, relying in
stead on a committee composed
primarily of on-Communist
Guatemalan labor leaders to
oversee selection of new officials
in the country's unions.

backs and deaf ears.

OF soldiers and military bands.
He will spend a night at the
White House and address Con-
gress. He will be hailed as the
symbol Of South Korea's resist
ance to communism.
It was just a decade ago, how
ever. that DR.. Rhee's pleas for
recognition Of his Korean gov
ernment-in-exile, his proposals
for a fifth column against Jap
anese occupation forces in Korea
and his warnings that a parti-
tioning Of his country would
bring a Communist onslaught
were being spurned by the ON
Gals Of the Government now
welcoming him.
80 Years in Exile.
From long before World War II
until 1945. when he made a tri-
umphant return to Korea after
80 years in exile, DR.. Rhee was a
familiar figure at the State De-
partment, at the Capitol and at
the White House.
Wherever he went, he begged
American help in freeing his
people from the japanese yoke
His outspoken warnings proved
accurate with uncomfortable
frequency. He warned, for ex-
ample. that the japanese were
not to be trusted-a warning that
was soon justified by Pearl Har-
Dor. At the 1945 United Nations
meeting in San Francisco, he
created a furore by declaring that
the Yalta agreements included
the splitting of his country. This
was denied. but the partitioning
soon became a fact.
