Radio Asks Climbers
If Rescue Party Is
Needed for Hillary
By the Assecioted Press

NEW DELHI, India. May 20.
-All-I India Radio today beamed
messages to the Himalayas ask
ing whether a rescue expedition
was needed for Sir Edmund Hill
larry.
Sir Edmund, one of the pair
who conquered Everest just a
year ago today, is reported i'll
with pneumonia on the slopes of
Mount Baruntse, another rugged
Himalayan peak.
On Weather Circuit.
The messages were added, by
rebuest of the British High Com
mission here, to the regular daily
weather report to which noun
tain climbing expeditions in the
Himalaya area listen regularly.
There is concern over the re-
port of the sickness of the 43-
year-old climber. No information
has been received since the nine
day-cld message brought by run
ner from a nearby California
expedition saying Sir Edmund
had pneumonia at the danger
ously high altitude of 22,500 feet
Tin Washington, the British
Information Service said late
press reports state Sir Edmund
had been carried down 5000
feet on a stretcher to a level
of about $4,000 feet. There,
the reports said, it was under
stood penicillin, oxygen and
medical aid are available from
an American expedition in the
area as we'll as from New Zea-
landerS.
Two doctors, the press re-
port said, were understood to
be on hand to look after Sir
Edmund. They are L. Bruce
Meyer, member of a California
expedition, and Surgeon
Charles Evans, a New Zea-
lander. They were believed
to have oxygen, penicillin and
other drugs)
Letter From Hillary.
The latest direct word from
Sir Edmund himself was con-
tanned in a letter of May 8 to
the British Ambassador in Kat
mandu, capital of Nepal. The
letter told of plans to evacuate
James McFarlane of the ex-
pedition, who is suffering from
frostbite, to the Jogbani rail-
head for disqualification.
This letter mentioned rib in
juries Sir Edmund suffered par
ticipating in the rescue of Mr.
McFarlane from a deep crevasse
on Barun glacier. but added that

Smathers Urges U. 5.
Action on Guatemala
BY the Assoeiosed Press

Senator Smathers, Democrat,
Of Florida says the shipment of
Communist arms to Guatemala
is Russian intervention in Latin
America and emphasizes a chal-
lenge this Nation has no choice
but to meet"
I'VE face the ugly and in
furiating fact that we now find
Russian intervention in this
hemisphere on an alarming scale,
in violation of the Monroe Doc
trine. Senator Smathers told the
Senate yesterday.
"The diabolical scheme Of the
enemy has become apparent. and
challenges not only us in the
United States but all members
of the great Organization Of
American States"
Senator Smathers spoke out
as the Swedish freighter that
carried 1000 tons of Red arms
to Guatemala from Poland
changed course and put in at
Key West, Fla. to enable State
Department officials to question
her captain and crew.
Seantor Smathers said the
pattern of Intervention" in
Guatemala is the same as Soviet
agents used in bringing West
European nations under Mos
cows domination.
Offering what he described as
inside details of the arms ship
ments, Senator Smathers said
it was listed partly as optical
equipment-"enough to provide
about two pair of specs for every
Guatemalan"-and routed first
from Poland to Dakar, North
Africa, and then to several South
American ports before it reached
Guatemala at night.

how these zones should be estab-
nShed.
Mr.. Eden proposed earlier this
week that senior officers of the
two opposing sides in the war be
called to Geneva to draw cease
fire lines.
Mr.. Gromyko said yesterday
Russia would accept this pro-
poSal-provided it was changed
to leave a clear implication that
the officers would draw cease
fire lines for all three Associated
States.
Mr.. Gromyko also suggested
that the officers meet in Indo-
China rather than Geneva. The
West had assumed there was
agreement on Geneva as the site
of the military discussions. A
representative of the French high
command is already en- route
here from Saigon to take part
in the talks.
Mr.. Gromyko also made it
clear at yesterdays meeting that
Russia would oppose any serious
discussion of international super
vision of a cease-fire until after
the conference had agreed on
location of assembly zones.

Gromyko were new. Others had

stressed and the State Depart
ment later confirmed that any
plans devised by their top SOL
diers will be without commit
ment" by the five governments.
To demonstrate the far-reach-
ing Importance of the meeting,
all governments agreed to send
their military chiefs Of staff or
representatives of these top Of
flcerS.

Purposes Listed.
The purposes in scheduling
the high level meeting at this
time appeared to be:
/. To confront the Communist
world with advance notice that
unless it agrees to an acceptable
1ndo-China cease-f1re it might
have to count on intervention in
the Indo-China war by the
United States and other anti
Communist governments.
2. To devise specific battle
plans to carry out such inter-
vention, providing the govern
ments decide to take this step
later.
3. To lay the groundwork for
military steps to bolster Thailand
and possibly other neighbors of
Indo-C China, even if al accept
able truce is agreed upon at
Geneva which would end the
seven-year- -old ndo-China con-
f1ict.
Intervention Denied.
The State Department, in its
brief announcement, sought to
dispel any notion that the June
talks would be a white mans
meeting" to plan intervention in
Asia.
Press Officer Lincoln White
emphasized that the conference
will supplement concurrent
talks" the United States is now
conducting with the Philippines
and Thailand as we'll as military
conversations at Geneva with
representatives of the three
Indo-China states of Wet Nam
Laos and Cambodia.
Pentagon officials said Admiral
Carney. who is reported to be q
firm advocate of military action
to shore up Indo-China. would
sit in for Admiral Radford only
because Admiral Radford would
be busy with other important
duties.

Soils and Crops

IRRIGATION ROTATION studies con-
Quoted since 1912 at the Huntley Elk
pertinent Station have proved at least
three things: The value of growing
alfalfa in rotation with other crops, the
value of barnyard manure in a crop
ping program and the value of COM
mercial fertilizers in the cropping pro-
gram.
A comparison of four rotations with
respect to alfalfa yields is given in the
schedule on this page.
From the standpoint of maximum
hay production, experience as well as
the data given for rotation Number 8,
clearly indicates continuous alfalfa is
not wise practice In fact, alfalfa hay
yields usually begin to decline after
3 or years of production Grasses
and some weedy vegetation move in as
the alfalfa thins out.
Rotation Gid has been outstanding
from production standpoint, not only
for alfalfa but for beets, oats and
potatoes.
Growing Recommended
In areas where three cuttings of hay
are normally obtained, maximum bene-
fit is obtained by Growing" the al
falfa to depth of inches after re-
moyal of the second hay crop. This is
fallowed by narrowing and, later on in
the fall, blowing to a depth of to 8
inches.
When alfalfa is plowed down after
the removal of the third cutting of hay,
very little decomposition of roots and
crowns takes place until warmer wealth
er occurs late the following spring.
This period, when organic materials
are decompoSing, comedies with the
termination or early growth of beets,
grains or other crop, Immediately fol
lowing.
The soil organisms or bugs re-
SponSible for the decomposition of or.
ganic matter, such as alfalfa roots
crowns, stems and leaves, require large
amounts of available nitrogen. AS nitro
gen is released in the decomposition
process, organisms will utilize it at the
expense of a growing crop until sucf
time that the decomposition process i!
on the decline.
Nitrogen Deficiency
When the foliage of growing plants
has light green or yellowish appear
ance and are thought to be stunted o.
dwarfed, following the blowing down o
alfalfa. nitrogen is very likely to be
limiting factor. In the event that bot
nitrogen and phosphorus are limiting
plant growth, sugar beetS, for example
are very susceptible to soil organism
which often cause Seeding disease!
In the past, this has been at leas
partially responsible for poor stands an

down alfalfa after the second cutting
of hay is removed. This applies only
to those areas normally receiving three
cuttings of hay.
You will note in Rotation Gid that
potatoes follow the blowing down of al
falfa. Corn or sugar beets, or even
small grains, may be substituted for
potatoes on alfalfa sod. Both corn and
sugar beets have a high nitrogen re-
quirement and would benefit. With
sugar beets having high phosphorus
requirement, too, supplemental appli-
cation of triple superphosphate should
be made prior to final blowing of al
falfa sod.
Later Maturing
In rotation Gid, it is interesting to
note thai the yields of potatoes aver
aged 1873 bushels per acre in 1858 as
compared to a 6-year average of 267.8
bushels per acre. Oats yielded 1927
bushels per acre in 1858 with a 6-year
average of 1887 bushels per acre. Yes,
they were a little later in maturing
about week later than Rotation CO.
The beetS produced 2O.09 tons per acre
in 1858 with 6-year average of 17.42
tons. Certainly, this is long way from
maximum production of beets, but if
you can maintain an average like that,
it's not bad, either
In Rotations 81 and Gid, manure was
applied at rate of II tons per acre
and plowed under the fall previous to
planting of beets. In Gid, a little over
100 pounds of triple superphosphate
$50 lbs. P2O5) was plowed under with
the manure Manure alone seems tt
exert much influence in maintaining
beet yields in planned rotation. Uti
lie it to the best advantage. A Is
pound application of available nitrogen
was used in rotation Gid. 1t could bt

First Hebrew Talking Books
Ever Recorded Presented
to Israeli Blind

Publication of six Hebrew
Talking Books" the first ever
recorded for the Israeli blind, was
announced by Solomon Petchers,
President of the American Com
mittee for the Central Library for
the Blind in Israel. Mr.. Petchers
spoke at the Israeli Consulate, II
East 70 Street, at a ceremony in
which he was joined by Sol Ash,
Vice-President, and Mrs. Shosh-
ana Shochett, Executive Director
of the American Committee, in
presenting the books to Eliezer
Doron, Consul of Israel in New
York. Hailing the achievement,
Mr.. Doron replied he was happy
to accept the records on behalf of
the blind in Israel. 1 know that
this fine gift to the Central Lii
brary for the Blind in Netanya
will be received with joy, and
listened to with great pleasure"
he said.
Explaining that Talking
Books" are long-playing record
ings of full-length books, Mr..
Petchers said the six titles COM
pleted for shipment to the Israeli
blind are designed to meet an
urgently vital need" of the more
than one thousand blind men,
women and children in Israel.
"Since only some twenty percent
of the blind ever master the art
of reading braille, these Talking
Books represent a most signifi-
cant landmark in the history of
the Hebrew speaking blind, and a
contribution to those usually
handicapped Israelis who until
now have been almost totally cut
off from Hebrew Literature, Gull
ture and history" Mr.. Petchers
stated.
