Policeman Takes

Interested Son, 3

A policeman's 3 3la-year-old son

today with a new slithering COM
panion, found by his father. The
story goes this way:
Pvt. Adam J. Ekes, 80, OF No.

Elton L. Sieh. were cruising in
a scout car in the 5000 block
of Fulton street NV. when
they received an urgent radio
call:

They found the culprit behind
a screen door at 1919 Fulton-a
brown garter snake just about
a foot long.
~ Recalling the propensity Of his
son., James, for reptiles, Pvt.
Ekes kept the harmless snake
in the scout car all day, and
then took it home to the child
Pvt. Ekes said it will be a
welcome visitor for a few days
but probably will be let loose
over the week end when the Ekes
family goes to the beach.

Two Top Soviet Leaders
In Belgrade to See Tito

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, May
26 (P.-The Soviet Unions two
powerful leaders. Nikita S
Khrushchev and Nikolai A. Bull
ganin, arrived here by plane
from Moscow today for talks
with President Tito.
Mr.. Khrushchev. head Of the
Communist Party in the Soviet
Union, and Premier Bulganin
were met at the airport by
President Tito and a group of top
Yugoslav leaders.
Strict security precautions
were taken at the airport which
had been newly repaired and
decorated for the occasion.
Gowds were kept at a distance
and only is photographers were
permitted to approach the guests.
Mr.. Khrushchev was first to
leave the two planes which
brought the Russian party. He
was met at the door Of the plane
by the Russian Ambassador in
Belgrade, Vasilij A. Valjkov.
Greeted by Tito
At the foot Of the ramp Mr..
Khrushchev and Premier Bull
ganin were greeted by Marshal
Tito. A Yugoslav Army Band
played the Soviet and Yugoslav
anthems.
Workmen have been busy the
past week polishing up the air.
port. The flags adorning Bel
grade were put up for the cele-
bration of Marshal Tito's 63d
birthday yesterday. They re-
mained in place.
There was no advance dis
closure Of the site Of the talks
or where the Russians would be
housed. But it was believed at
least part of the talks would be
held in the handsome white
Gardiiski Dom guards home) 4,
in a park on Belgrade's out
skirts.
It was also believed the Rus
slams would be housed in the old
Royal Palace, now used mainly
for state visitors.
Might Urge Neutrality
Some Western diplomats felt
that Mr.. Khrushchev and
Marshal Bulganin, despite the
harsh words banded between
Belgrade and Moscow in the past
seven years, would make a final
effort to bring Yugoslavia back
into the fold of East European
Communist states.
Failing in this, it was believed
the Russians might try to
persuade Marshal Tito to adopt
q neutral status similar to that
which Austria assumed in ex-
change for her independence
treaty.
But Marshal Tito has re-
peatedly declared Yugoslavai's
independence of East or West
blocs and reserved his right to
resolve his country's future. He
also said that Yugoslavia will not
become a neutral buffer state,
and has declared the talks will

in no way affect his relations
with the West.
Greece and Turkey, Marshal
Tito's partners in the Balkan
pact, have been assured they
need have no fear that Yugoslavia
will agree to anything modifying
the defensive features of their
alliance.
In a birthday speech before
Yugoslav officials last night,
Marshal Tito declared: II will
continue, as I have done up to
now, and with more stubborn
ness, to fulfill the wishes of the
people"
Observers considered the ref
erence to "stubbornness' signif1-
cant on the eve of the Soviet
visit.

President Asks
Airport Funds

A construction fund of $2.6
million to ease the air jam at
Washington National Airport
was included in supplemental
appropriation sent to Congress
today by President Eisenhower.
Projects completed with the
funds would increase the ca
pacity of the airport about Is
per cent, the White House mes
sage declared.
Construction designed to "re-
duce the interval between air
craft landings, to expedite air
craft movement and servicing
on the ground and to improve
passenger baggage and cargo
handling facilities" are contem-
plated, Mr.. Eisenhower's message
said.
TurnOffs Planned
A reliable source reported that
part of the air jam which fire.
quently results in aircraft hav-
ing to circle the field more than
once while waiting for clear
ance to land will be relieved by
construction of high speed
turnoffs."
Present turmoil facilities for
aircraft which touch the ground
are so constructed that the
plane must come to virtually a
full stop before it can be TAXED
off the runway.
Other planes must circle the
field while waiting for the
landed craft to clear the run
way. High speed turnoffs would
cut down the waiting interval.
CAA Awaits Action
A Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration spokesman declined to
comment on details of the sup
Elemental appropriation until
the House Appropriations Com
mittee takes up the matter.
Overcrowding at National Air
port has led to controversy over
possible construction of a sec
ond airport to serve the Metro
politan Area. Plans for such a
field at Burke, Va, have been
stalled and efforts to designate
Baltimore's Friendship Airport
as an alternate have been op-
posed by commercial airlines.

THE BUSINESS OF BUYING M SELLING"

The farmer is as much a businessman as the grocer or
the operator of any commercial industry. However, many
4 farmer can be a very good manager as far as his farm bust
ness organization is concerned, and still not buy and sell we'll.
This is true because he can pay too much TOR what ne buys
and then sell at too low prices. When this IS the case the
farmer is not a good businessman, no matter how good his
general organization and management may be.
There are many ways in which the farmer may fail
when It comes to buying and selling. One is that he fails to
plan his production in order to have a product to sell when
nrices are good. If he has too much to sell when prices are
low and high, he cannot make a good showing IN his re-
cord book. Very often we hear farmers say that It cannot
paw them any real profit to grow this or that. Yet, these
are often the farmers who plan the same type OF producuon
wear after year in exactly the same way, instead OF chang-
inc to meet the market. The farmer who can bring to market
! particular product when that product when that product
IS scarce and still in great demand will not have TO worry
about selling it, or the price he can expect to receive.
Another common error in the commercial phase OF farm
inc is using poor judgement as to prices ne can afford 70
nav for supplies and equipment and for livestock. Plenty OF
farmers here have bought equipment that they DO not fealy
need and that cannot ever pay for itself on their particular
size and kind of farm. And we think that even more farmers
in the Virgin Islands have failed to buy things that would
easily paw for themselves and make a good profit besides.
In order to make profits in any business the operator
must first be aware Of what is in demand. He must then try
to produce enough to supply the market at the right tme'
and still avoid producing a surplus. This doesn't mean thas
YOU have to sell every pound at the years highest price. put
