Canadian, US. Co. Heads Meet In Prenier's Office

VICTORIA, R-The heads of giant Canadian and American en- terprises, competitors for vast British Columbia and Yukon water rights, met in a hush-hush meeting in Premier Bennett's of flee Tuesday.
 They were Thayer Lindsley, president of Ventures, Ltd, Fro bisher Ltd, and Quebec Metallur- gical Industries, Ltd, and Irving w. Wilson, president of Aluminium Company of America.
 The two enterprises both have their eyes on hydro electric poten- tiaI in northern B.C. and in the Yukon.
 The Canadian government last year rejected an AlcOa proposal for a project that would divert the Yukon River above Whitehorse into Taiya Inlet and thence to US. territory near Skagway. The com pany wanted to use the diverted waters to develop about 100000 horsepower for an aluminium prof ect.
 Frobisher Ut, followed with an- other proposal to use the waters of the Yukon watershed for a mammoth ro-electric-metal re- finery project which would ulti- mately cost up to $7OO million dol lars.
 Neither Premier Bennett nor the company heads would com ment on the discussions. Premier Bennett said it was a preliminary meeting.

Force of March l Hydrogen Bomb
 Completely Surprised Scientists

NEW YORK, R Time maga- zine today reported the latest US. thermonuclear explosion went off March 1 with a blast probably 500 times greater than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
 The force of the explosion, Time said, completely surprised atomic scientists working on the project at the US. proving grounds in the Marshall Islands.
 Twenty eight US. observers and 236 island natives, thought to have been evacuation to a safe distance, were showered with radioactive particles, Time reported. Their ex- posture was 10 times greater than the usual safety limit, the maga- zine said, but the Atomic Energy Commission announced there had been no burns.
 Time said calculation of the blast force is still incomplete but was so great that the AEC was forced to reclassify a test on Nov, l, 1852, as a mistake"
 Force of the ''misfire" was "awesome enough" Time added, and gave these details on that test:
 The blast was 25O times as great as the Hiroshima bomb;
 It's fire ball measured 28 miles in diameter;
 The mushroom cloud climbed 9Q,C90 feet into the stratosphere and an observer plane 50 miles away, flying at 3O,OOO feet, had to run away to avoid being caught under the mushrooms lip.
 Time gave no source for it's information on the two explosions.

Southern Senators Start Lengthy
 Attack On Statehood Legislation

WASHINGTON, lY - Southern senators skilled in the art of lengthy debate today continued their attack on statehood for Ha- waii and Alaska.
 Sen. Eastland O-Miss) occupied the Senate floor for nearly four hours yesterday in what he said was the preface to discussion of his theme that Communists dominate the political and econs omic life of the Hawaiian Islands.
 The Mississippi senator an nounced that he plans to speak for ''three or four days"
 Sen. Smathers D-Fla), a leader in the opposition to the combined Hawaii Alaska statehood bill, told a reporter there will be no fill buster in an effort to prevent a Senate vote on the statehood issue
 But Smathers said he does not believe there is a chance for a vote Ion anything" in the Senate this week.
 Smathers said an amendment proposing commonwealth status for Hawaii and Alaska as a sub stitute for statehood probably will be offered in the Senate Thursday
 Sen. Eastland told the Senate: With, the admission of Hawaii, we would become the United States of the Pacific; with the admission of Alaska we would become the Unit ed States of the Pacific and the Arctic Ocean and only the dear Lord himself knows where we will stop"

Eisenhower Will Back Secty. Stevens In Row With Senator cCarthy

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said today he has full confidence Secretary of the Army Stevens is telling the truth in his controversy with Sen. Mccarthy.
 The President told a news con- ference that if he didn't have confidence in Stevens integrity, Stevens wouldn't be holding the job he does.
 Eisenhower said it may turn out Stevens has made some mistakes, but he added that so far as the secretary's integrity and honor are concerned he stands behind Stew ems.
 The question ofawho is telling the truth looms as the central issue for the developing Senate inquiry into the row between Mccarthy and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, on the one hand and Army of ficials on the other.
 All the principals are expected to be called to testify under oath when the inquiry gets under way, probably late next week.
 Mccarthy said today he was willing to let Army lawyers cross examine him.

Defensive Tests Under Way For Thule Air Base

WASHINGTON, tR - The first test of defenses against capture of the huge and strategically vital Thule Air Base and other arctic installations which Russia might seek to seize in a war is under way.
 The Defense Department an nounced Monday that joint Air Force-Army Exercise Chill Wind" involving use of $50 paratroopers of the XVIII Airborne Corps and a score of the giant C-124 troop carrying planes would be conduct ed "this month" at Thule, on the northwest corner of Greenland.
 Actually, it is understood, the operation already has started and will include in addition to defen- sive tests for Thule, several other arctic bases. Among these are SonderStrom, halfway down the Greenland west coast, and install lations elsewhere.
 The Thule test, only 900 miles from the North Pole, is the most northern locale for any American maneuver ever held. Conditions at this time of year in northern Greenland are rigorous. The long arctic night is about to end, but winter weather prevails, with sud- den gales blowing at velocities of more than 100 miles an hour, tenn peratures far below zero and "white outs" caused by wind whipped snow interfering with both troops and plane operations.

Health Dept. Analysis Shows Fox Had Rabies

Chief of Police Glass is in re- ceipt of a telegram from the De- partment of Health stating that the mad fox which was killed in town last month definitely had rabies.
 The fox's body was sent to Anchorage laboratories and then shipped stateside for further an- alysis for possible evidence of infection by rats.
 Chief Glass states that as pre- caution to safeguard the public an intensive campaign will be put in effect immediately to eliminate all loose dogs as several were bitten by the fox and some of these dogs infected other dogs before they died.
 Dog owners are urged to coop crate with the authorities by keep ing their pets tied up for the next several weeks.
 About 15 dogs already have been shot this month and some dogs have been reported to the police as having died from rabies.

Democrats Take Tax Appeal To The Nation

WASHINGTON, R-Democrats took their tax appeal to the nation last night in a radio and television broadcast in reply to an address by President Eisenhower the night before.
 House Democratic leader Sam Rayburn of Texas declared the Republican tax revision program eventually would provide six times as much to the upper 20 per cent income brackets as to the great majority of other taxpayers.
 He told his listeners if they were among the 80 per cent of Americans who, he said, earn less than $5,000 a year, "the Republi- can tax program offers you little or no relief at all.'
 He said the Republican program is a revival of a philosophy that special benefits for the wealthy "may eventually trickle down to the great majority" But actually little or nothing has ever trickled down, he said, lin all the history of Republican tax laws"
 Sen. George D-Ga, who has proposed increasing exemptions from the present $500 to $500 this year and 5000 next year, told the Senate yesterday his proposal might have the effect of halting the present downswing" in the na- tion's economy.

Demos Wrong About COP Tax Plan, Says Ike

WASHINGTON, tR- President Eisenhower said today the Demo crats are wrong about his tax pro- gram.
 He also said he has full con- fidence in the honor and integ-, rity of Secretary of the Army Ste vens and stands behind the secre- tary who is embroiled with Sen. Mccarthy.
 And he said any president who did not act immediately if the country were attacked by an ag- gressor ought to be impeached or even hanged.
 Those items were highlights of a news conference in which the chief executive under questioning from reporters ranged over broad area of domestic and inter national issues.
 On the subject of taxation the President said the contention by Democrats that pending tax re- vision bill would help the rich and not aid the low income fam ilies-is simply an error.
 Eisenhower declared that any president should be worse than impeached - he should be hanged If he didn't take whatever action he felt necessary to protect the United States against an unpro- voked attack. He said such action should be taken within two min utes without waiting for Congress to declare war.
 Those remarks were prompted by Secretary of State Dulles as sertion yesterday that the Presi- dent has advance congressional authority to retaliate against any Soviet attack on London, Paris, for example, in the same manner he would retaliate against an attack on American cities. The discussion was part of the running debate over the military new look" and primary reliance on capacity for massive retaliation" to head off war.
 He declined to comment on the statement by Rep. Cole R-NY, chairman of the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee, that the United States has the hydro gen bomb and can deliver it any where in the world
 The President wore a green tie, marking St. Patrick's Day. He said with a grin that he hoped everybody in the room was wear ing the green emblem.

for the Swift statesmen who sell the meat from
the livestock you produce They are trained
to be aggressive and to seek broader outlets
for meat.
In 1858 you shipped millions of additional
head of livestock, especially cattle, to market.
Meat packers had to sell over two billion
pounds of beef more than they sold in 1862.
A stable job, but every pound 1Oas sold.
Every man on Swift sales force knows that
meat is perishable. 1t must be sold soon. And
it must be sold JUeU so that our customers will
be satisfied and be back for more.
That means Swift must help induce shop
pers to buy more meat and to serve it more
often. First, we prepare the various kinds of
meat for sale so that they reach consumers as
fresh, wholesome, quality products Our sales
men help retailers display the meat attrac-
lively. They constantly give them ideas and
sales tips; put up posters; arrange product
displays in the stores to help sell.
Regular advertising in newspapers and
magazines tells people how good meat is and
how good it is for them. Recipes for new and
better ways of serving meat are developed in
Swift's Martha Logan Test Kitchens. Folks

burning. Some remarkable results are being
obtained. Treatment with 2, AID has killed
heavy stands of Wyethia and other broad
leaved weeds and doubled grass production in
one year. Equally good results have been OBJ
tanned on sagebrush-grass ranges with the
'troto-beater'' or with chemicals. For both
chemical and mechanical methods, best results
are obtained on most species by treating them
while growth is rapid, before the bloom stage.
The only permanent means of weed control
on range lands is by providing competition
from better plants. Otherwise, repeated weed
control treatments become improbable, for
weeds will persist In coming back on bare
ground.
Harm can be done by treatments which kill
desirable plants also. Consult your local extern
sion experiment station workers for recon-
mended practices to control range weeds and
increase your crop of forage and livestock.

way to produce more feed per acre is to get rid
of weeds. There are three main approaches:
I. By improved management that produces
good cover of forage plants, usually perennials.
Often this alone will increase the forage and
reduce weeds to point of little Importance.
2. BY range reseeding. Where the range is very
weedy, range reseeding is often the quickest
way to eliminate the weeds and provide a
good forage cover.
