NBc Opposes confining
Color Tv 10 UHF Bands
BY the Associated Press

The National Broadcasting Co.
today opposed proposals to con-
fine all color telecasting to the
ultra high frequency channels.
1t said this would stop abruptly
the growth of color" and would
not give economic aid to the
UHF industry.
Joseph v. Heffernan, a vice
president of NBC, presented his
company'S views to a Senate
Interstate Commerce subcom-
mittee studying the status of
UHF.
Previous witnesses had told
the committee the UHF industry
is at an economic disadvantage
as compared to the very high
frequency TV industry. They
explained that generally Wifi
stations have greater coverage
and are favored by national ad-
vertiserS.
UHF witnesses have testified
that all telecasting should be
shifted to the UHF channels
over a transition period of some
years, with color telecasting
being limited to UHF stations
as a first step.

More Study Needed
On Cancer Cause,
Tobacco Men Say
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 23.-Fur-
ther study and experimentation
are necessary, the tobacco indus
try says, to pin down the causes
of cancer and heart disease.
It views as preliminary" an
American Cancer Society report
indicating cigarette smoking cuts
the life span.
The tobacco industry's atti-
tude was made public yesterday
in a statement issued through
DR.. Clarence Cook Little, newly
appointed director for a scien-
tif1c committee set up to study
the effects of tobacco on health.
DR.. Little termed "of vital in
terest" the findings of the
scientists who made the study
for the American Cancer So
ciety but took the position that
more proof is needed.
Said DR.. Little:
1.-The present dramatic Situa-
ton emphasizes the need for
greatly extended, amplified and
diversified basic research on the
relation of various habits of the
different types of human beings
to their health and well-being
throughout their life cycles.
THE origin, nature and de-
velopment of cancer and of
cardio-vaScular diseases are

greatest existing challenge to
creative scientific thought and

Acc Has Authority
Over West Memphis
Project, Cole Says
BY the Associated Press

Representative w. Sterling
Cole, Republican, of New York
said today the Atomic Energy
Commission has authority to
make final decision on whether
to contract for new public power
facilities at West Memphis,
Ark.
President Eisenhower's direc-
tive to Acc to conclude such a
contract promptly has been crit
icized by a number of Demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Cole said in an interview
that the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee, which he
heads, has mo power of veto"
and could do no more than in
dictate disapproval to the Acc.
He has said there has been no
formal. request for committee
action.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
OF Tennessee expressed hope yes
terday that Congress would halt
the Eisenhower ordered plan to
conclude a 25-year Acc con-
tract for power from a proposed
new $107 million 100000 kilo-
watt steam plant to be built by
Middle South Utilities, Inc, and
the Southern IN
Would Use iva Lines.
The electricity would be serv-
iced to customers in the Men,
phiS (TennD area over Tennessee
Valley Authority lines. Acc
would buy the power to repay
iva for electricity now being
furnished by iva to the Aces
gaseous diffusion plant at Pa
ducah, KY.
Administration spokesman say
this additional power will be
needed for the IVA area by 1857
and that the proposed private
contract would be cheaper for
the Government than building
new IVA generating facilities.
Some critics of the plan argue,
on the other land. that the
private power would De InoHe
expensive.
Senator Kefauver said in a
Senate speech the added power is
necessary, but he declared the
administration simply did not
want that additional energy to
come from IVA. Gen.
Eisenhower has termed IVA an
example of creeping socialism, /"
but says he does not want to
liquidate it..
Representative Holifield, DEM
ocrat, of California, who has led
a fight against the proposal
within the Atomic Committee.
said he agrees more power is
needed but objects to the terms
OF the proposed contract. He
said in an interview it would
make Acc power broker" to
"subsidize private industry"
Full SEC Hearings Asked.
Mr.. Holifield disclosed yester-
day he has asked the Securities
and Exchange Commission to
conduct full hearings" contend
ing that the two utility concerns
involved are holding companies
and that the proposed new gen.
Grating plant might run counter
to the law.
Rowland Hughes, director of
the budget, wrote Senator Sal
tonStall, Republican, of MasSa-
chuSetts last week that by 1857
an additional 100000 to 600, 900
kilowatts of power will be needed
for the iva area, plus an ex-
pected boost in Acc require

between 135, 900 and ITS, 900 kilo-

WHY DO CROPS often suffer
from lack of moisture in midsum-
mer, even when rainfall is normal?
Why does level land stay wet longer
m the spring than it used to? Can
anything be done to make soil dry
out faster after heavy rains and at
the same time store moisture for
those hot, dry days in July and
August? What can be done to pre-
vent soil and plant food from wash
ing away? There are answers to
these questions; great deal can
be done to improve poor soil condi-
tons.
Nearly everyone recognizes the
importance of fertilizers in growing
good crops. Soils should be tested
to see how much fertilizer the crops
will need. When these needs have
been filled, then water and air be-
come limiting factors affecting crop
growth and yields on many soils. If
it were possible to conserve the
rain that falls during the summer
months the chances of getting a
bumper crop" would be greatly
increased.
Plants Need Air and Wafer
Soils need a certain amount of
air if plants are to grow. If soils
are saturated with water or have
run together" at the surface, air
cannot get in. AS a result, poison
Gus gases may accumulate, less plant
food may be available, and plant
growth and yields are reduced.
Plants, like people, require air,
water, and food. Reducing the
amounts of any one of these will
cut growth and yield of crops.
If you can make more water enter
the topsoil, number of problems
will be solved. In the first place,
the more water that enters the soil
Tie less SIlSIe Is W IuI1 OIL. LESS
runoff means less erosion of soil
and less loss of plant food by ero-
sion. Secondly, if most of the rain
that falls in July and August soaks
into the soil, there will be more
water available for plant growth
during this critical period. Thirdly
since air and water movement In
soils are closely related to each
other, any condition that causes
more water to move into the topsoi
will also insure better air circula
ton.
Tilth Affects Air. Wafer Movement
The physical condition of the sol
that has most to do with air anC
water movement in the soil is callec
"soil filth" A soil in good till
breaks up easily into crumbs, O
granules, about the size of whea
grains or soybeans. These crumb
are porous. They are made up @

CONS esVation Service
tiny bits of soil linked together
something like popcorn in pop
corn ball. They hold this structure
even when soaked. Because of the
pores in the crumbs themselves, and
because the size of the crumbs keeps
them from fitting together as tightly
as smaller bits of soil, there is. space
for air and water. In other words,
to have good soil filth is to have
proper air-water relationships in the
soil.
Respect for good soil filth is moth
ing new. Agriculturists centuries
ago said that good soil filth was
essential if the highest yields of
crops were to be grown.
Cultivation Has Changed Soil Tilth
Soil filth has changed lot during
the years that the land has been
farmed. You can appreciate this
change better if you compare virgin
soils with soils found under today's
farming conditions.
There are few areas of virgin soil
left-that is, soil that has never
been disturbed. The soils that come
nearest to being like the soils the
pioneers found lie along old undis-
turbed fence rows, in road banks
: that have never been plowed, or in
woods that have not been severely
grazed or burned.
Dig up some undisturbed soil.
Then, dig some soil from cult
waited field adjoining the spot where
you dug up the undisturbed soil.
Take this sample from the pillow
layer of the cultivated field. Be
sure to get it from the same kind of
soil as that in the fence row or
woods, but take it few rods away.
Compare these two samples of
soil for color, organic matter, filth,
weight and compaction. The soil
from the fence row, for example, is
porus and full of grass roots. 1t is
high in organic matter Cor humus),
very crumbly, and easily broken
apart. BY comparison, the soil taken
from the cultivated field is harder,
heavier, and lighter in color. It is
not uncommon for cultivated soils
to have lost from 20 to SO per cent
of their original organic matter and
to be 10 to 80 per cent heavier than
they were originally.
After making this comparison,
examine soils that have been farmed
under good soil management. More
will be said about good management
later.
