The American press and
radio are unintentionally the
best instruments Of propa-
ganda the Soviet Union has
in the world-and the Soviet
government. with deliberate
intent. is the worst enemy
and most persistent sabotenr
Of American news that the
United States faces In the
world.
This absence Of reciprocity
was conspicuously illustrated
by the propaganda confer
ence Of hand-picked repre-
sentatives of Afro-ASian ma
tions opened in Cairo last
week by the Communists. The
American press and radio
spread widely the distortions
uttered there. They were in
many instances given first
page display. Here and there
were some pointed comments
on the editorial pages warn
ing that the conference was
Communist-inspired There
was. of course. some i'm
portant news in the Cairo
conference itself. but the con-
trived nature of the Soviet
domination Of the whole
thing and the behind-the-
scenes activities were not ex-
posed on the same pages that
told Of the Afro-Asian con-
ference. Had any American
or European ofiicial uttered
such q criticism, 1t would
have been widely printed on
the news pages. too.
The Soviet government gets
away with many things like
this. including a strict cen
sorship over what American
correspondents send out of
Moscow. No protest against
this censorship has been
made in a long. long time by
any national organization of
news writer's or editors in
America or elsewhere. So
apparently the Soviet govern
ment feels it can go ahead
with its censorship without
alternating world opinion.

tary Dulles was an easy
target.
In our political system the
Chief Executive is "the
works" The members Of his
cabinet are merely highly
placed secretaries who de-
rive their power from the
President himself. Few be-
come popular. This is par
ticularly true Of the Sec
retaries Of State, who. unless
they are purely negative in
their actions, are the butt of
sarcasm or bitter criticism.
Cordell Hull and Edward
Stettinius did not have q
particularly bad press be-
cause President Roosevelt
was his own Secretary Of
State. Dean Acheson who
had a great influence over
President Truman and ran
our foreign policy-except in
a few instances when Mr..
Truman followed his own in
stincts-was severely criti-
cized by Congress and a small
segment Of the press.
Secretary Dulles has been
trying during the nearly i've
years he has held ofiice TO
live UP to the platforms which
brought the Republican Party
to power. Outwardly he has
about as much influence with
President Eisen h over as
Acheson had with Truman.
But those who have watched
developments from the in
side in recent months have
come to realize that this is
no longer so. The pretorians
in the White House tthe Big
Five advisers to the ailing
President have much more to
say than the once influential
secretary. This was evidenced
last Friday when the differ
ences between Mr.. Dulles and
his subordinate technically
Harold Stassen over disarm-
ament talks with the USSR
were brought to him. Instead
Of cutting the Gordian knot
himself. Mr.. Eisenhower pre-
ferred to refer the matter to
the National Security Coun-
ell.
Behind the disagreement
on how to proceed with new
disarmament talks there is

Theodore Roosevelt advised

Since World War II we have

USE Rad FOR BROAD-LEAF
WEEDS IN CORN

A reminder that 2,4-D can be
used to control most broad-leafed
weeds in corn has been issued by
New Castle County agricultural
agent Ed Schabinger. Weeds that
can be controlled include morning
glory, bindweed, wild potato vine,
and other troublesome broad
leafed weed pests found in the
cornfield.
The recommended rate of ap-
plication is u pound of the anime
form of actual 2,4-D to the acre.
For standard materials, this is
about one pint of 2,4-D liquid per
acre. The amount of water is not
particularly important, Mr.. Scha-
0inger says, but most weed spray
srs. apply between five and ten
gallons of solution per acre.
It is important that the spray
er be caibrated to apply 2,4-D
accurately, the agent warns. Too
little of the material may not
control the weeds, while too much
may damage the corn.
Corn should be at least five
inches high before the 2,4-D spray
is applied. And after it is Is
inches high, drop pipes and di-
rectional nozzles should be used

warn nigh-speed traffic if it is
necessary for you to take your
tractor onto a public road.
5. Watch the power take-off.
There are two rules -disen-
gage the power take-off before
getting of the tractor seat-and
keep the safety shields in place.
6. Avoid getting over-tired. Ex-
ira long hours during planting
and harvest seasons, fatigue, lack
of sleep-these take their toll
each year. Take time out for a
rest if you need it-just as you
would when taking a trip in a
car.

Keep your farm tractor work

eer.
William E. Larson points out
that many of the fatal farm
machinery accidents have involv-
ed ENTHUSIASTICALLY not handled
or operated in safe way. Lar
sen believes this points up the
need for learning and observing
safe operating rules. Here are
some of the more important sug-
gestions he makes:
l. Watch your speed. Too much
speed in the wrong place causes
upsets-the worst killers.
2. Guard against backward up
set. A high hitch, driving up
sharp slopes, crossing bitches,
'dug-in' rear wheels-all can cause
backward tipping.
8. Keep riders off. A tractor is a
one-passenger vehicle and that
passenger is the driver. Children
and tractors don't get along well
together.

tor is not an automobile. Keep

Delaware Sheep Growers Receive
Premium Price for Wool


Premium Price for Wool
Sixty Delaware sheep growers
delivered 1875 pounds of wool
into a pool" held at the Kent
Sussex fairgrounds, and demon
strated once again the values of
selling farm products cooperative
ly on a graded basis. For the
fourth consecutive year, pooling
growers have received a premium
in price ranging from eight to
seventeen cents per pound for
their wool.
The pool was conducted by the
Delaware Sheep and Wool Asso-
citation, non-profit growers or
ganization which also has two
lamb pools, conducts a sheep
show each year at the fair, and
holds regular meetings to learn
about latest management prac-
tees. William Gray of Harring-
ton is the president, Mrs. Vera
Rambo Of Houston, the secretary,
and Mrs. Don Concilio of Dover,
the treasurer.
The price this year was 64c per
pound for the best grades of wool
and about 80 percent of the grad
ed wool brought this price. I'm
graded wool the same week
brought only Acc to SOC per pound
at the farm or at the local auc-
tions.
1T stands to reason that when
group can deliver a large guam
tity of a graded product to one
place, then buyers will be inter-
ested in paying higher prices,
says Don Concilio, who was in
charge of the pool this year.

Farm Accident Toll Gould
Be Reduced

Many of the accidents that kill
$4,000 farm people each year
the average toll for 1950-55-are
caused by unsafe practices and
hazardous conditions that could
be corrected, says county agent,
George Vapaa.
Farm work accidents killed an
average of 5000 farm people each
year from 1850 through 1855, ac-
eording to National Safety Coun-
Gil figures. Farm work mishaps
injured another 321 800 each year.
Fatal accidents in farm homes
took $500 lives and injured 548,-
800. Motor vehicle accidents kill
ed 5000 farm people and hurt an
additional 10000. Off-farm acci-
dents not involving motor We
hicles killed 1,130 members of
farm families and injured 100000
each year from 1950-55.
Over 80 percent of fatal farm
accidents, not counting those in
the home or off the farms, in thieI
5-year period ending in 1858 We're
caused by machinery, drownings,
firearms, falls, animals and in
sects, and burns, in that order.
In the various 5-year age
groups, the highest number of
machinery-caused deaths occurred
TO farm people between 55 and
SO years old. Animal-caused
deaths also were highest among
elder people. On the other hand,
most deaths from drownings and
burns occurred to children under
5 years old. Firearms took their
highest toll among those between
is and 10, while fatal falls were
most frequent among older. peo-
