Jake never cheated at check

particularly good at that tricky
thirteenth move in the Old Four
teenth."
Pops gray hair became snow
white and he complained Of the
bitter cold. but he no longer spoke
Of going Outside. He did ask few
questions about the States. when
a detachment OF Air Force engi-
neers arrived to make a survey
for military base north Of Fort
Yukon. Listening to them talk.
Pop shook his head sadly.
Guess I'll never make it," he
said.
A year passed. And near the
end Of another dismal Arctic night,
a stranger muShed in from the
north with dog sled loaded with
furs. He strobe into the exchange,
shaking the snow from his fur
coat. He resembled Jake McGoW-
an, but when he drew the fur back
from the lower part of his face.

was clean Shaven, and there was

than Jake's had been. 1t looked
as though 1t might have been
crushed by terrific blow.
Heard there was a checker
player here" he announced jovi-
ally. so I mushed in for a few
games"
In short time he and Pop were
bent over the checker board be-
hind the big stove. They played
Pops favorite game, The Old
Fourteenth.
Halfway through the game. Pop
said. Excuse me til / get a
drink of water"
When he returned from the wa
ter jar in the corner. he held an
old forty-tive in his right hano.
"Okay, Jake he said. You've
changed your features, but you
amt changed your game. You're
the only feller I ever knowed who
played that tricky thirteenth move
in the Old Fourteenth. Don't move.

Methods Of Controlling
Bermuda Grass Cited

Bermuda grass needs light to
survive.
That's the conclusion of w. G..
WeStmoreland. extension weed
specialist, and G. c. Klingman,
professor of agronomy. at State
College, who have prepared fold
er listing and explaining control
methods of Bermuda grass.
They explain that since it has
been discovered that the pest can
not stand competition for lights,
crops that produce a dense shade
during the entire summer growing
season are effective in curbing
Bermuda grass. Small grain or
crimson clover followed by a fast
growing shade producing crop
such as soybeans is recommended.
To be most effective, summer
shade-producing crops should be
grown for two to three years.
Continuous uprooting by cul-
tivation. particularly during cold
or dry weather will lead to some
control or the pest. MulcheS are
not generally effective.
Sodium TEA and Sodium Chlor-
ate are chemicals which offer a
means of controlling Bermuda
Grass when properly used. "Kar-
mex" w offers possibility of
controlling Bermuda grass in land
that is not to be used for agricul-
tural purposes.
Directions for applying chemi-
calls for Bermuda grass control are
contained in Extension Folder No.

The folders may be obtained at

From the day when ne first
mushed into Fort Yukon during a
bowling snowstorm, Jake McGow-
an had challenged the checker
playing supremacy of - Pop Full
bright, manager of the Lone Wolf
Trading Exchange. AS the long
winter night settled DIVA on the
Arctic Circle and the luminous
Streamers of the Aurora Borealis
flashed vividly across the northern
sky, their checker tournament be-
came a subject Of keen sporting
interest to the loafers hunched
around the big stove. But neither
Jake nor Pop would engage in the
betting.
Betting spoils the fun Pop
would say, and Jake would nod
in good natured agreement.
Occasionally as they played, Pop
would confide broken bits of his
dream to the tall. dark MCGOWAN.
When it opened up in the Spring,
Pop was planning to go Outside.
He had a cache of furs and a bag
of gold dust. which would more
than pay his passage to Seattle
and from there to his old home in
the OzarkS.
When Pop talked Of going Out
side, he relaxed in his playing,
and Jake began beating him more
frequently.
IT'S that DANCED thirteenth
move in the Old Fourteenth game
that gets me-" Pop explained.
But the Old Fourteenth is still
my favorite.'
Then one dark morning when
the Aurora Borealis wavered mys-
teriously in the sky, MCGOWAN
vanished His dogs and sled were
missing, and so were Pops fur
cache and gold dust. A fresh snow
covered his trail.
It took considerable urging and
nagging by the boys to get Pop
to report his loss to the police.
Old Pop took it pretty hard. He
brooded and for a time gave up
his major interest in life-checker
playing. What hurt him even more
than the loss of his treasure and
his broken dream of going Outside
was the disappointment in human
nature. When he mentioned Jake.

1856 election, for it will be re-
membered the criticism levelled
at President Truman for not con-
sulting Congress before committing
U. S. forces in the Korean war
probably cost the Democrats the
1852 election. Republicans have
called it Truman's war, and have
declared the former President
overstepped his constitutional au-
thority when he so committed our
troops to the Korean war without
advise or consent of official Con-
gressional action.
However in his message to the
Congress accompanying the Reso-
luton of approval. President Ell
SenhoWer took some of the sting
out OF this criticism of President
Truman when he pointed to the
prompt action of President Tru-
man as necessary, and reiterated
the Truman statement that the
Seventh feet was ordered to pro-
tect FormoSa.
There is no doubt but that the
resolution adopted by the Congress
is all-inclusive and will permit
the President on his own decision,
to commit the Air Force. the Navy
and the Army to the defense OF
Formosa and to even attack the
China mainland under the clause
which reads, "Unhappily the dan
ger of armed attack directed
against this area compels us to
take into account closely related
localities and actions, which, un-
der current conditions, might de-
termine the failure or the success
of such an attack. The authority
that may be accorded by the Con-
gress would be used in situations
which are recognizable of, or def
mite preliminaries to an attack
against the main positions of For
mosa and the PeScadores.'

: royalty on all oil produced and the
, geological survey estimates there
are about II or more billion bar
!, rels Of oil there, which at pre-
vailing prices would mean royal
ties for the federal government Of
about S. billions more.
This money now will go into the
general fund of the federal treas
ury. 1t could be used for balanc-
ing the budget, but it will not like
ly be so used since there are men,
: bers of Congress who are watch
ing this development jealousy.
1t will be remembered that dur
ing the last session of the Con-
gress, Senator John Sparkman of
Alabama spearheaded a drive to
use the tidelands oil money for
educ ational purposes. The "Oil
For Education bill passed the
Senate. but it was stymied in the
House.
Now Senator Sparkman is ex-
pected to press again for passage
of this bill as a substitute for the
Eisenhower School program bill,
which is expected to be along the
lines of his road construction
measure, namely set up federal
agency and issue government
guaranteed bonds for construction
of schools. And as this huge oil
windfall builds up in the federal
Treasury there is sure to be other
attempts to raid the treasury for
other measures, probably for such
plans as health insurance or other
nationwide projects.

DRECEDENT-s shaking events of
tremendous historical signifi-
cance which will be felt in the
capitals of the world as well as
here in Washington and this ma
ton, resulting from the fast-break-
ing Congressional action on Presi-
dent EiSenhower's request for APP
proval OF his resolution setting out
the intent of the United States in
connection with Formosa and For
mosa strait
First - Probably never before
has such unity been evidenced on
a major foreign policy decision as
between a congress of one pOliti-
cal party and the President of
another, when within a week
the precedent breaking resolution
sailed through both House and
Senate with only three opposing
votes in each house.
Second - The adoption of the re-
solution has ended the period of
bluff on the part of our country
toward Red China and cut the
Gordian knot which has stymied
our Asian policy.
Third - The President now has
safely tucked away a pre-dated
declaration of war which he may
use as he sees fit against Red
China, and which the Congress in
an unparalleled expression Of faith
left up to the Presidents personal
decision to use and,
Fourth, from a political stand
point the President forestalled any
criticism which could come from
the Democrats yet he should de-
eide in his own mind the necessity
of committing United States troops
either to the defense of off-Shore
Chinese Islands now held by the
Chinese nationalists, or even an
attack upon the mainland of China.

was reserved for the Federal Gov

The State of Louisiana, how
ever. has brought suit to claim
lands extending 27 miles out. The
point is however, that the division
of the lands is becoming more of {
bonanza for the Federal govern

since the exploring Companies are
finding most of the oil in the Fed
