Milwaukee Braves play the st.
Louis Cardinals.
AS he always does. the Demo-
cratic nominee departed from
his text to inject lines which
brought down the house.
In his first paragraph he had
referred to the "gladiatorial
combats" in ancient Rome. Then
he recalled that someone had
compared them to presidential
contests, and observed:
But I think they are more
like bull fights, and the question
is which party is the bull"
Jibes G. o. p. achievements"
Mr.. Stevenson's st. Louis
speech was a mixture of foreign
and domestic problems.
He said the achievements to
which President Eisenhower
points with pride consist mostly
"of not repeating what the
Democrats have done"
Mr.. Stevenson said the specif-
ically Republican ideas included
tax reductions which favor the
well-to-do: the partnership ap-

Are you kidding?" Mr.. Goldwyn asked him with
puzzled look. Them enunciang very slowly he said 1T

Mr.. Goldwyn had to ask "Are you kdding?" again

should be identifed-"as head of MGM?'
Mr. Goldwyn personally explained that he had been
independent producer for 38 years.
The reporter remarked alphabetically that I'VE live in

City, Kans., MIR. Stevenson noted
a statement Vice President Nixon
was quoted as having made We'd
nesday night. that the United
States invited the Communists
to attack South Korea.
Mr.. Stevenson said he hoped
Mr.. Nixon did not say that. but
If he was quoted correctly, che
evidently has found the high
road too difficult to travel
Mr.. Stevenson also asked his
Kansas audience if anything
could be more shameless" than
to imply, as he said the Repub-
licans have done, that peace is
a partisan matter. He inquired
again what the Republicans
would have done in 1917, in 194l,
or when South Korea was at
tackled. if they had been in
power.
Would they have let the
Communists overrun Korea?" he
inquired.
He answered his own question
by saying "of course they would
not" because they later voted
to support the resistance to the
attack.

NURSERY Enterprise
BELIEVED POSSIBLE IN ALASKA

Alaska may offer unique op-
portunities for future nursery en-
terprises, says NJ. F. Babb, senior
horticulturist of the Alaska Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
Over 5000 seeding of market
able age were harvested this year
from nursery beds at the Station.
They represented 20 general and
SIS species Of ornamental trees
and shrubs, standard and crab
apple stocks, cherries, and such
small fruits as raspberries, cur
rants, gooseberTies, and straw
berries. It was the third harvest
made by the Experiment Station
and eliminated six years of nur-
sery work.
THAT Alaska's climate is suit
able for nursery enterprises is
not surprising" said DR.. Babb.
Highly successful nurseries in
Canada and other far northern
locations have long been prime
sources of winter-hardy stocks of
horticultural materials. Many of
these enterprises are in far less
favorable environments than CEN
trail and southeastern Alaska.
Alaska has a unique advantage
which may lead to an export nur-
sery market in the centennial
United States, Believes DR.. Babb.
