Chickweed. Wild Onion
| Chickweed and wild onion ar,
showing up in many gardens an,
flower beds. The chickweed is ,
bit hard to kill with 2,4-D a
this season. Potassium cyanate
commonly sold under trad.
names with chickweed killer a.
a part of the name, is likely t.
be more effective. Be careful moi
to spray other plants with thi,
weedkiller.
The wild onion may be killed
with AID. or with fuel oil. BIZ
careful that the 2.4-D spray doe.
not drift to nearby desirable
plants. One good way is to wear
rubber gloves and. then over
them a cotton glove. Wet the
cotton glove with either 2.4-D OF
with the fuel oil. Then grasp the
onion tops lightly and that will
give them enough weedkiller to
destroy them.

Representative Kilday. Dem
ocrat Of Texas, today chal-
lenged as mot valid" an ad-
ministration argument that
hundreds more GIs might
wind UP in foreign jails under
a bill he is sponsoring.
Mr.. Kilday's bill would re-
quire that overseas servicemen
accused of offenses while on
duty be tried by court-martial
rather than surrendered to
foreign courts. The countries
in which the men were sta
toned would retain the juris-
diction they now have-but
frequently waive-over off-duty
offenSes.
Either side is now permitted
under the reciprocal status-of-
forces agreements to waive its
primary jurisdiction over serv-
icemen's offenseS.
Assistant Secretary of De-
Tense Mansfield D. Sprague tes-
titled yesterday that if the
United States is barred from
waving jurisdiction it has in
any case. the other countries
likewise might refuse to waive
their trial rights.
Such a refusal, he said, could
subject thousands of addi-
tional servicemen to trials in
foreign courts with the posi-
bility of additional hundreds
being confined to serve SEN
fences in foreign jails."
But Mr.. Kilday contended
that the agreements actually
"only affect the United States
troops" and added, IT don't
believe the other countries
would insist on trying them
for offenses over which they
are now willing to waive juris-
diction.

of Mr.. Krainski's efforts to
make tractors. Poland produces
only one model tractor, the
article said, while any one of
several West German tractor
factories produces q large as
sortment Of types and sizes.
True, Mr.. Krainski admitted
to himself, Poland has only the
"Ursus."
And Poland's I'm m or tai
Ursus" is too big to be useful,
the article continued.
True, said Mr.. Krainski. No
body will buy 1t.
Furthermore. the Ursus is an
Anticipated model. In trying to
sell it to farmers. the article
said. the government brags
about features which have
been old-fashioned for decades
in other countries.
Also true, said Mr.. Krainski.
The Ursus should be retired
with the homage and respect
due to every grandfather" the
newspaper urged.
If only I could, thought Mr..
Krainski.
Poland needs a whole fam
lily" of new modern tractors,
the article went on.
Mr.. Krainski agreed.
And, the article concluded.
the Polish tractor situation is
a mess because design and
production Of tractors is car
ried on oblivious to the needs
of farmers.
There Mr.. Krainski had to
disagree.
Granted. tractor production
was q mess and the farmers
were not getting the machines
they badly needed and political
support Of the peasants and Of
workers, who were calling for
more and cheaper food, was be-
ing jeopardized. But the prob
lem just wasn't as simple as
the newspaper implied.
Mr.. Krainski. having lived
intimately with the Ursus
tractor for 10 years, knew there
was no easy answer to Poland's
tractor problem-or, for that
matter. to any other Of Poland's
deep and numerous difficulties.
Mr.. Krainski does not look
like a man who is saddled with
the Polish tractor problem.
Like many Polish officials he
is young (43 years old. but un-
like others. Mr.. Krainski seems
relaxed and always in a good
humor. Good BLOCKING. with
wavy. grazing hair, Mr.. Krain-
ski, whether you see him in
his office or dining in Warsaw's
more fashionable restaurants,
appears not to have a worry
in the world.
Perhaps his speedy rise in
the Polish bureaucracy has
given him confidence that even
the numbering Ursus tractor
can't wear down.
He is a graduate engineer
who went to the Ursus factory
in 1885 to supervise construc-
ton work. He had risen to
technical manager by l947
when the huge Ursus tractor
was first unveiled to the Polish
farmers.
1T was a 1898 German de-
sign" Mr.. Krainski told this
reporter in the course Of an in
terview. I'VE choose It because
1t was simple TO manufacture
and so strong even the most
backward peasant couldn't
damage 1t. We had received a
few postwar Western models
mostly through UNRRA--and
we found that poor mainte-
nance would put them out Of
order fast.
But you couldn't hurt the
Ursus.
"Of course it was heavy and
It used q lot Of fuel. but its
eturdiness compensated for the
cost Of operation.
Also. We were planning TO

land simply Is not producing
them at q satisfactory rate
either in the few trade schools
that do exist or in other fac
tories. He hopes the new de-
signs viii be simple enough fol-
his peasants to build under SUI
pervision of'the skilled machin-
lists Ursus does have.
He hopes the new basic light
tractor will sell for about 5000
zlotys-a years pay to Mr.
Krainski and more cash than
the average peasant is likely to
see in a lifetime.
Who viii Buy Them?
That brings UP the problem
of who will buy the tractors
Mr.. Krainski points out that
the present Ursus costs 10000
zlotys. To be sure. nobody is
buying it. But Mr.. Krainski
argues the new tractor would
be Is per cent cheaper to run
and would be immensely more
effective.
Actually, selling the tractors
is not Mr.. Krainski's problem.
His ministry simply makes
them and turns them over to q
central government distribut-
ing agency. Presumably Mr.
Krainski. a conscientious man
will produce a tractor the dis
tributor can sell. But other bu-
reaucrats in charge Of produc-
ton have a tendency to produce
what they think is nice and not
worry over whether the bureau

The first bureaucrat has
done his duty by producing SC

any income if the customers
don't buy.
Wants to Sell Also

lem will be solved in the tractor
industry by a merging of man.

Sponsibility. He wants to sell
his own product, and he is con.
vinced that he can make a bet.

Mr.. Krainski is optimistic
about the future. Since last

been shifted to a piecework ba.

he added.
If they did get that pay

preston on the workers per.

the men at Ursus who were
asked what good things hac
been done for them since las
year mentioned a pay boost.
But Mr.. Krainski is not dis.

as far as he has in the govern.

confidence and skill. He be.
lieves he can make the name
