the 26,314-ton liner America.
built in 1910, with a new super
liner.
He said he is sure the new
vessel will be equivalent In size
to the United States, but the
final decision as to the propul-
sion will be up to the COM
pany."

it is considering atomic propul-

BELZONI, Miss, May 23 (A'1.
The National Association for

a Negro civil rights leader died
under mysterious circumstances.
Roy Wilkins. NAACP execu-
tive secretary, promised the
court battle at a mass meeting
yesterday of some 400 Negroes.
called to protest the handling
of the Rev. George Lees death.
Mr.. wilkins, from New York,
charged that an atmosphere of
racial hatred" stirred up by the
pro-segregation citizens coun-
ellis brought about this slay-
ing"
Mr.. Lee was found fatally in
jured when his car crashed into
q house. The FBI laboratory
said specks of metal around his
face resembled buckshot.
Negro leaders believe he was
killed for urging other Negroes
to register to vote In Humphreys
County. where Negroes outnum-
ber whites.
Sheriff Ike Shelton called
Lees death lone of the most
puzZling" he has ever handled.
He agreed Lee was shot, but
thought it might be the work
of another Negro because the
minister was a ladies man."
The New York chapter of the
NAACP has pledged $500 to help
the national organization inves-
tigate and publicize the unsolved
death.
Mr.. Wilkins indicated the court
battle might not come in the

time Board is contracting for a
"roll-on. roll-off ship. the first
of its kind, that will permit

SAN FRANCISCO - Pursuing
it's planned merchandising pro-
gram to serve rural areas in Cali
fornia and other parts of the
Union, Associated Stores, Inc,
mail order discount house recently
organized by Filipinos and Amer
leans, has placed on the market
natural soil conditioner and
amendment trade-named Agricol.
Agricol, material consisting of
soluble minerals mined in Nevada,
has been proved highly effective in
laboratory experiments and field
tests in influencing plant growth,
increasing crop quality and re-
building worn out soils.
Agricol has been highly recon-
mended for soil and water conser-
walton programs, particularly in
California, where water has al
ways been a farming problem and
where unfavorable soil conditions
have well-nigh rendered the cult
walton of large acreages for cash
crops an improbable business.
Agricol as a conditioner has the
capacity of flocculating hard clay
soil and increasing its water pene-
tration. 1t firms up loose, sandy
soil and increases its moisture and
water holding capacity. AS a soil
amendment, Agricol mineralizes
and adds to the soil certain min
erals in soluble form that have
been exhausted because of re-
peated crops.
Filipino farmers in the Stock
ton area have bought carload of
Agricol for immediate use on their
farms and have to date expressed
satisfaction over the beneficial eff
fects of the material on their soil
and crops.
Agricol, however, is not sold as
fertilizer: neither is it claimed
to take the place of fertilizer. Its
most beneficial use is long-range.
Scientists who have studied soils
and crops positively believe that
materials like Agricol will in the

long run rebound to longer fertil-
ity of the soil when used properly
and consistently.
Agricol has also proved useful
in conditioning gardens and is GER
tainly beneficial to Towering
plants. Agricol as a matter of
fact, is highly recommended for
all types of soils and crops. Elk
tensive experiments and field tests
have also proven that it has no
harmful effects on soils and plants
and that it will not burn" in any
excessive application.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of Agricol is the price and
the economy of application. For
most types of soils the recon-
mended use is one ton per acre and
the growers cost per ton is con-
siderably less than other products.
