Time & Method
Harvesting Vans
Us Important

BARNWELL - The time and
method of harvesting sweet po-
tatoes directly affect their keep
ing quality. Hugh A. Bowers,
Clemson extension truck crops
specialist, says growers should
dig their potatoes before a heavy
frost kills the vines and should
make careful plans to see that
the freshly dug potatoes are
properly handled.
He points out that potatoes
should be dug when most of
have reached No. size, during
dry warm weather, and before
the first heavy frost. For maxi
mum yields there should be a
few jumboS Frost generally fol-
lows a rain and leaves the soil
wet. If potatoes are allowed TO
remain in the ground a few days
until the soil becomes dry
enough to dig. they are likely to
be injured. This injury. called

parent at digging time and may
not show up until after the pota-
ltoeS have been put in storage.

temperature in the storage house

The Ugly Face Of Rumor

terrible race roit was touch
ed off by rumor.
1t began as traffic jam
on a Detroit bridge, when two
cars locked bumbers. One
contained a white couple, the
other a Negro couple and
their baby. All four passen-
gers got out to argue and the
people in other cars craned
their necks to see what was
going on. But because it was
a bright glarey day, the driv-
ers of autos facing one direc-
ton saw a different scene
than those facing the other
way. From one line of cars,
according to Picture Week,
it looked like a Negro facing
a white man and woman.
From the second line, it APP
peared as if a white man was
arguing with a Negro attack
ing the white mans wife.
Some said the man was arm
ed with a knife and, a little
later, people were saying that
there was a wave of knife
welding Negroes attacking
whites. From the other di-
rection, the rumors involved
the white man and the Negro
baby. Some passed the wore
| that he had thrown the chile
off the bridge and that the
police had arrived and were
siding with the white man

'Stoy Home, Tito

Secretary Dulles suggestion that
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito may be invited
to visit this country has been received by
one metropolitan newspaper with an edi-
torial, the tenor of which is indicated by
the headline quoted above. Some other
comments have been to the same general
e1ect-that an invitation to Tito would
be betrayal of the United States.
We find it difficult to understand the
reasons for this unrealiStic attitude. It is
possible, of course, that no useful purpose
would be served by visit from the Yugo-
slav dictator. There are things about
his regime that we don't like, and there
probably are some things about our own
system that don't appeal to him. But
this Is contracting world. 1t is neces-
Sary to live in it, and to live with the
other people who are in it. Nothing is
going to be accomplished by ignoring
such people as Marshal Tito or pretend
ing that they don't exist. Our own
officials are knowledgeable enough not
to be bamboozled by visiting Marshal
Tito, and it is possible that some useful
purpose might be served by having him
visit the United States. If Mr.. Dulles
thinks that this is the case, we hope he
will extend the invitation, and that he
will not be frightened of by those who
think that the best way to solve the
problems Of a troubled world is to bury
ones head in the sand.

Only q Palliative

Chairman Monroney Of the Senate
Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation is
right in declaring that the only perma-
nent solution of Washington's airport
problem is a second air terminal in the
Metropolitan Area. He is right, also, in
looking on the proposal for alternate"
use of Friendship Airport as temporary
measure, pending construction Of another
Washington airport.
Senator Monroney, a leader in the
movement to revive the Federal Govern
ment's airport project at Burke, Virginia,
has taken the position that, in the
meantime, Friendship should be used by
the airlines temporarily to relieve the
increasingly dangerous congestion at the
National Airport on Gravelly Point. But
any such interim arrangement would be
only palliative. 1t should not be per-
mitted to divert congressional attention
from the main objective Of another air.

whether they wished to remain inside or

If accepted, the plan would protect
Britain's present strategic interests in the
island. The idea of proportional repre-
sentation in local government, and per-
hapS Of partition later, likewise promises
protection for the Turkish minority. It
is disappointing, but not surprising, that
initial reaction from the Greek govern
ment and from Greek CypriotS has been
unfavorable. At this point they are COM
mitted to unconditional self-determina-
tion-through which they hope to bring
the island into political unity with
Greece. Britain and Turkey have good
reason to resist this The real interests

Formula for Cyprus

Limited self-government and pos
sible partition on basis OF self-determi-
nation. proposed now by Britain as a
solution for the long standing Cyprus
problem, are not wholly new ideas for
resolving this troublesome issue. AS a
package offer, including also the sugges-
ton Of new constitution for the Crown
colony, the plan is a compromise that
appears to offer reasonable justice and
protection for the many conflicting in
terests involved. The formula has been
in preparation for the past several
months by nongovernmental commits
sion headed by Lord Radcliffe.
Under the constitutional plan, a So
member legislature would be established
as the controlling instrumentality in
domestic government. Thirty OF these
members would be elected, with the ma
Jority representing the 100000 Greek
ancestry residents and the minority rep
resenting the 100000 OF Turkish ancestry.
Six would be appointed by the British
governor and an executive branch would
be formed TO carry out legislative actions
Responsibility for defense and foreign
affairs would be left with the British
authorities, at least until such time as
this limited self-rule had proved itself
satisfactory" At that future date there
was a conditional promise that the
islandTs would be allOYsd to choose
