At tShow Test Ability of Judges

It consisted of acorns, peeled
bark, driftWood, laurel, rododen-
dron and huckleberry buds.
Finally Decide
Mrs. Killmaster'S conception of
"a Frog Would a-Wooing Go"
was made up of bits and scraps
of alder. daffodils. chionodoxa,
galax and so forth. Both this
and Mrs. Turner's arrangement
deserved first place, the judges
decreed. but, since only blue
ribbon was allowed, I'VE had to
go out of our way to find flaws"
The same was true with Mrs.
st Claire's flowery interpreta-
ton of 'Lakme," and Mrs. Ely's
Victorian arrangement of a wide
variety of everyday garden variety
flowers. Mrs. st. Claire won the
blue ribbon over Mrs. Ely's ex-
hibit, although the latter was
"exquisitely handled" in the
judges estimation.

So good were the competing
flower arrangements in the
flower show yesterday that even
the judges were in quandry.
Particular battlefields were
the classes whose themes were
Love Song" and "A Night at
the Opera"
Winners of each class ulti-
mately were chosen, of course.
But only after the judging panel
had agreed that two entries in
each class deserved first-place
blue ribbons.
The show today was in its
third day of a week-long stand,
ending Wednesday night. At
tendance continued ahead Of

$4,000 persons saw the displays
yesterday, bringing the two-day
figure to better than $4,000.

0SU Choir Leaves
For Europe Tour

Many months of planning and re-
hearsalS-and years of hoping =
came to a close when Ohio State
University's f a m e d Symphonic
Choir left the campus at 9 am.
June z, bound for a months con-
cert tour of Europe.
Although the Choir is widely
known throughout Ohio and in
neighboring states, it is the first
trip abroad for the 50-voice organ
ization since it was founded Is
years ago by its present director,
Prof. Louis H. Diercks.
Biggest event of the summer
will be the Choir's participation in
the international Musical Eistedd-
fod at Llangollen, Wales. There it
will take part with $50 choruses
from 26 nations in the Welsh COM
petition, which is considered oily
mpics" of the musical world.
Few American choral groups are
invited to participate in the Els
teddfod. The fact that the SYM
phonic Choir this year received its
sixth successive invitation was a
major factor in the development of
plans for the trip.
The tour will be a truly coopera-
tive venture. Financial support has
come from the university, the Ohio
State Development Fund, alumni,
students, parents of Choir men,
bers, and other friends Of the or
ganiZation. Four benefit concerts
and sale Of tags also helped raise
funds.
Accompanying the choral organi-
zation will be four members of the
University Dance Group, under the
direction of Miss Helen P. Alkire
of the women's physical education
faculty. The Choir and the dancers
will demonstrate for European au-
diences the thoral-dance theatre"
which the two groups developed
and which has been widely ac-
claimed.
First leg of the tour will take the
students from Hughes Hall, on the
campus, by bus to Montreal, Can
ada, where they will sail on the S.
S. Seven Seas on June 9. Arrival
at lie Havre, France, is scheduled
$ for June IS.
The groups will perform at the
American Cathedral in Paris; will
sing concerts in Heidelberg, Ham,
burg, and Frankfurt, Germany; an
outdoor concert in London; and
will perform as guests at the Inter
national Student Conference in
Birmingham, England. At the Els
teddfod, July 60, the students will
perform in various competitive
classifications, both as groups and
as individuals, and also will take
part in a non-competitive guest

of infiltration before each irriga-
ton cycle. They'll need a shovel
bucket of water number 10 can,
watch, and ruler to do this.
Overholt suggests farmers re-
move the top and bottom, of the
can to form a cylinder. Force this
cylinder several inches into the
soil Mark the inside of the cyl
inder an inch above the soil and
fill with water to this mark. Allow
the water to soak into the soil. Fill
the cylinder again and record the
time it takes the water to disap-
pear.
The length of time required for
the second application of water to
disappear is about the time requir-
ed for an inch of irrigation water
TO soak into the soil. Water should
never be applied faster than this
rate, Overholt says.
Rate of infiltration of subsoil al
SO should be measured, if crop
roots extend into it. To do this,
remove the topsoil and force the
cylinder into the subsoil. Then fol-

program. In addition to the con-
cert schedule, the tour viii take
the groups to Cologne, Brussels,
the Shakespeare Country" of
England, Amsterdam, Bremerhav-
en-, and other points.
On the return journey, they will
embark July Is at Bremerhaven,
Germany, on the S. S. Castel Eel
ice, arrive at Quebec July 25, and
in Columbus early July 27.
Director Diercks regards the
tour as an unparalleled educational
opportunity for the Choir members
as well as an opportunity to serve
as unofficial cultural ambassa-
dors" to Europe. Twenty-four Ohio
counties are represented in the
membership of the Choir.
Not only have the students re-
hearsed their musical repertoire,
but they also have heard lectures
on u. S. foreign policy, monetary
and tariff matters, standards of
values in other countries and their
history; they've even studied for
eign menus and learned how to
order meals abroad.
Though far from the Buckeye
campus, they'll have with them a
touch of Ohio State - its scarlet
and gray colors. The boys will
wear striped ties in these colors;
the girls will have bright scarlet
berets and gray suits.

Refugee Program
Needs Help From
Ohio's Farmers

Columbus-Gov. Frank ]. I.au-
sche said here that farmers must
take part if America is to fulfill
its promise as haven for refugees
from Communist tyranny. He ex-
planned that many of the refugees
are from the farm and could not
be placed in jobs demanding other
skills.
Govynor Lausche said he be-
heveS Ohio's farmers, once they
know the facts, would come for
ward as sponsors for farm workers
among the refugees. A refugee
must be sponsored by US citizen
and must have assurance of a job
that would not displace an Ameri-
can.
The US Refugee Relief Program
offers a new life in freedom here
in America for 100000 people who
abandoned their homes and prop
erty and risked their lives to flee
Communism and who now exist in
camps.

Federation President H. d. Hecka-

such committees.

Churchill Bars
Any British Aid
For China Isles
Military Forces
Won't Be Needed,
He Tells Luborites
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Prime
Minister Churchill said today
there is no question of Britain
being involved militarily or "in-
deed our being needed in the
defense" of offshore islands held
by the Chinese Nationalists.
Sir Winston coupled this
declaration with an implied
warning to British Laborites
against pressuring the United
States to get Chang Kai-shek's
forces off the islands.
The 80-year-old statesman
made his report in writing to
the House of Commons after he
rejected Laborite suggestions he
invite Red China Premier Chou
En-lai to London to discuss the
Formosa situation or 60 to
Peiping himself.
Makes Written Reply.
This was Sir Winston's written
reply to a Laborite request for
report.
There is a great difference
between the coastal islands Of
China and the island of For
moSa.
"As there is no question of our
being involved militarily or in
deed of our being needed in the
defense of the coastal islands,
we should be careful of what adj
vice we should offer to our
friends and allies upon it. The
decision on whether or when
these particular islands should
be evacuated is not one, the bur-
den of which falls upon her
majesty'S government. And we
must recognize the natural pre-
occupations of other govern
ments who are Immediately af-
fected by the threatened attack
from Communist China.
This is especially true at a
time when the Chinese Commu-
nists keep stridently asserting
that the islands are to be re-
garded as a stepping stone to-
the seizure of Formosa itself,
with all that must mean for the
Chinese Nationalist, under
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek,
who have been given shelter and
protection there by the United
States, and whom the U. S. are
bound by over IA years of COM
radeship in war both against
the Chinese Communists and the
Japanese invaders of China"
Says China Missed Chance.
Sir Winston told the House OF
Commons Red China failed to
take advantage of the excellent
opportunity of making their
views known when they rejected,
it seemed rather scornfully, the
invitation to attend the pro-
ceedings of the Security Coun-
Gil.
I'm the prevailing circum-
Stances the statesman added,
Il doubt if the visits suggested
would be fruitful or even help

BANGKOK, Feb. 23.-Nations
in the Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization have chosen a scene
of Oriental splendor in which to
make their pleas for American
aid.
Delegates to the SEATO con-
ference gathered for their first
session in Thailand's great Ma
tional Assembly Building-a tre-
mendous structure of Italian
marble which this tiny country
built in eight years, ending in
1915.
The rectangular conference
table is directly under a dome
as high as a 10-story building.
Stretching off in the distance is
a nave as long as football field
with five archways decorated
with elephants, bluebirds, pheas-
ants and prancing fauns.
Silver-haired Sir Anthony
Eden, British Foreign Secretary,
told the delegates: "A free and
prosperous people is commu-
nism's most formidable foe.
Every well-founded and happy
home is a fortress against tyr
amy, while poverty and
wretchedness are its breeding
grounds"
His voice did not echo because
it fell against red velvet drapes
trimmed with gold and green.
Other delegates emphasized
the need for economic aid-to
come, of course, mostly from the
United States-as a means of
thwarting Communist subver-
sion. French Delegate Henri
Bonnet, who, unlike the other
delegates, spoke French instead
of English, joined the chorus

litical and economic infiltration
by Communists is a greater
threat to Southeast Asia than
overt aggression.
