How TO Time Spraying
Spores of these fungus infections
are carried by wind and splashing

when spring is wet. For that reason
two to three sprays each 10 days or
two weeks apart are advised for eff

The first spray (use standard
Bordeaux, Puratized or Ferbam) is
most important Not all leaves open

first spray when forsythia is at its

tulips reach full flower. This is a
timely key, whether spring is early.

SupremeCourt
Nomination Of Harlan
Finally Shaken Loose
From Senate Committee

The Supreme Court has been
short one man since last October
8 when Associate Justice Donald II.
Jackson died. It's work has nsces-
sarily slowed down since then, and
it has chosen to postpone entirely
its deliberations on school segrega-
ton.
The President nominated John
Marshall Harlan. judge of the Fed.
eral Court of Appeals in New York.
for the vacancy, but his confirms
ton was held up in the Senate
Judiciary Committee by Senators
who thought he might favor rapid
indignation or favor closer dealings
with foreign countries.
Last week the logjam was broken.
On showdown vote Judge Harlan
was approved by a wide margin,
10 to 4. Voting against him were
two Southern Democrats, James O,
Eastland of Mississippi and Olin d.
Johnston of South Carolina. Repub-
lican Herman Welker of Idaho voted
no because he doubted that Judge
Harlan "adheres to the doctrine that
American sovereignty cannot and
must not be diluted" Republican
William LANCER of North Dakota
voted against Judge Harlan in con-
formity with his policy Of voting
no on appointments until a deserve
ing North Dakotan is honored.
Senate approval of the nomina.
ton Is thought to be sure.

About Quemoy and Matsu Islands.
these points emerged from the
Dulles speech and other comments
BY officials in Washington:
/. Their importance Is principally
psychological
3. Their military value La strictly
o secondary consideration. Formosa
and the Pescadores can be held even
II the Red Chinese take the Off
shore islands.
.. Whether the United States will
help defend Quemoy and Matsu has
not yet been decided. The psyche
logical climate at the moment of
attack probably would be the con-
trolling factor.
4. Meanwhile, President Eisen-
hover insists on maintaining "flexi-
bility" for two reasons: First, varia-
lions of Red military attack could
vary our military response; second,
the United States is still keeping
the way open for ceaSe-fire deal
whereby Red China can have the
islands if she gives up her plans to
take Formosa and the Pescadores.
Sources with access to Peiping
have convinced American policy
makers that the Red Chinese hon
estly believe the United States does
not have the CUTS to face a per-
sistent, gnawing attack. The ex-
pected Communist assault on Que
moy and Matsu may provide Peiping
with enough evidence to change it's
mind.

Taxes
Proposed Slash Seen
As Test for President;
Veto Threat Is Studied

Congressional Democrats who are
threatening the administration with
a tax cut for 'the little fellow" were
in roughly the same position last
week as the Chinese Communists
who are threatening an attack on
Quemoy and Matsu. Both Demo-
Gratis and Communists we're guess
ing that administration tough talk
was Just a lot Of bluff.
There was q vast difference, Of
course. between the war threat in
Asia and partisan politicking on
Capitol Hill. but both shaped up
as possible tests for the President.
The tax situation last week was
this:
Democrats came up with a new
gimmick which would make it
harder for Republicans to oppose
a tax cut. The House had approved
straight $40 tax reduction for
everyone (Which would cost the
Government $2.1 billion a year, and
tied it to a corporate and excise
tax extension (Which would save
SO billion a year,.
But Republicans said it was a po-
litical GESTURE and that 1t would

should equip and supply South
Korea, Indo- China and Free China
for a coordinated attack on the
Chinese mainland sometime before
the end Of 1856"
Secretary Dulles indicated last
week that he was coming around at
least part way to the Generalissimo's
thinking. He said:
Il pointed out at Bangkok that
for military purposes, the Chinese
Communist front should be regarded
as an entirety because if the Chi
nese Communists engage in open,
armed aggression this would proba-
bly, mean that they have decided
on general war in Asia. They would
then have to take into account the
mutual defense treaties of the United
States with the Republic of Korea
and the Republic of China, and the
forces maintained under them. Thus
general war would confront the Chi
nese Communists with tasks at the
south, center and north, tasks which
would strain their inadequate means
OF transportation"
Some Unsettled Points
Was Mr.. Dulles threatening Pei
ping with Chiang's three-front war?
II 30. there were still some unsettled
points. One Of the principal ones
would involve Americas role in sup
porting the Nationalist Chinese and
South Koreans in such ventures.
Would the United States be COM
hitting aggression if she helped
Chang and Rhee in such excur-
sions? The United Nations might
find that real stickler.
But the new strategy does
emphasize the important role
Formosa plays in Americas deter
rent policy. Red China could not
be comfortable moving into South
east Asia in force while hostile
forces-equipped with nuclear fire
power-sit menacingly on her left
flank.
Chang Kai-shek, meanwhile, was
missing no opportunities to help
America get into the fight. A we'll
advertised Finnish tanker carrying
10000 tons of jet plane fuel for the
Reds will be intercepted, he said.
II the Communists persist in max
ing no distinction between the Ma
tionalist navy equipped mostly
with American ships and the
United States feet, that probably
makes no difference to Chang.
Peiping pointedly warned Wash
ington, not Taipei, to keep hands
of the ship.

Europe
ltoly's Senate Posses
Paris Poets; Germany,
France Still in Doubt

Western Europe took one more
step on the way to rearming West
Germany on the anti-Communist
side last week. The Italian Senate
approved the Paris agreements. 139-
81. Friday night. That completed
Italy's parliamentary action on the
treaties. bringing to eight the num-
Der of countries to have done so.
Those whose parliaments have
completed action are Britain, Can
ada, Greece, Iceland, Norway,
Portugal, Turkey and Italy. Three
other countries lower houses have
approved: Belgium, France and
West Germany. Legislatures in Den
mark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands
and the United States have yet
to act.
The two crucial countries. as al
ways, are France and Germany.
Their lower houses approval came
only after protracted wrangling. AS
each day passes, uncertainties over
upper house approval mount in both
countries. The principal threat, as

Moves from Paris, is that either
Senate might attach Gripping
amendments to the Paris accords
That would throw the fight back to
the French and German lower
houses. with unpredictable results.
Premier Edgar Faure already has
started his drive for French Council

Tense committee. The Bundesrat is
expected to act either later this
month or early in April.
President Eisenhower repeated his
assurances to the European powers
that the United States would keep
troops on the continent as long as
necessarily the Paris agreements
are ratified.

further throw OF the unbalanced
budget.
Senate Democrats changed the
proposal. They offered q compli.
Gated bill which would cut individual
income tax revenues BY $126 billion
mostly benefiting lower income
groups), but would also rescind some
Of last years G. o. P. tax cuts for
corporations and stockholders and
also extend the corporate and excise
taxes-all bringing in $6.15 billion
q year-for a net Treasury gain Of
$3.50 billion.
This, they announced. was the
very opposite Of Q Treasury raid.
But the President passed the word
on the Hill late last week that he
would veto. any bill reducing income
taxes and then would promptly re-
iterate his request for sirAple extern.
sion Of corporate and excise taxes.
That, he hopes. would put the Dem.
ocrats on the spot.
The Democratic plan will come -

DR.. Galbraith urged that the
Government do something to shake
the confidence Of spectators. If
potential spectators are uneasy.
they will be cautious, he said; If
they are cautious, they will not have
an unnatural, bullish influence on
the market.
Gosh for Stocks?
He said the Government should
make its intentions to control over
speculation quite clear. For in
stance, it should raise the amount
Of down payment" on stocks from
the present so per cent to an
eventual 100 per cent.
Mr.. Smith disagreed with the
proposal to increase stock margins.
He did suggest. however, that large
scale tipsters be controlled and that
so-called penny" uranium and
Canadian oil stocks be given closer
supervision. But on the whole. he
said, 1T ID difficult to legislats
against frenzy or against fools"
Mr.. Eccles thought the economy's
principal trouble lay in the expan-
sion Of credit. He recommended
that mortgage-lending policies and
control over consumer credit be
stiffened. He also suggested the
capital gains tax be adjusted to
encourage persons to hold stocks
longer.
AS in all major congressional in
vestigations, considerable staff
spadework had been done before
the public hearings opened. And
Senator Fulbright and others al
ready are thinking seriously of rec
ommending steps to raise margins
on stocks, to warn the public that
there is danger in today's stock
market and to curb gambling, par
ticularly in the penny stocks.
1t may be that one of the COM
mittee's detectives was met last
week. The stock market showed
signs Of caution by dropping sew
eral points during the week. Sena-
tor Fulbright, however, insisted his
investigation had had nothing to
do with the drop-and his witnesses
agreed with him.
