uniform color is what sells an
apple he said, teven if the taste
is not perfect"
Delaware can compete strongly
on the Delicious market, because
of it's geographic position, Dr.
Fisher declared. State growers pas
lower freight to market than other
states such as Washington, now
the leading grower, of Delicious
apples.
The Delaware horticulturist is
attempting to improve the Delicious
variety with bud sports" attached
to dwarf apple trees. He explained
that bud sport is a branch or an
entire tres that on occasion de-
yelops frui. unlike other trees of
the same variety in the same orch
ard.
These sports, often called muta-
tiOns, can be desirable or undesir-
able. He reported that 25 new good
sports are now being studied IN the
United States with more being add
ed constantly. All of these are more
recent than the strains Richared,
Shotwell, and Starking that have
been so popular in recent years.
DR.. Fisher is working with six
of the new sports-Royal Red, Red
King, Hi-Early, Sarli-Red, Hired
and StarkrimsOn. He feels the six
ARE most promising of all.
The reason DR.. Fisher is work
ing with dwarf apple trees is to
get information as quickly as pos
sible that can serve as guide to
state growers. He expects some
fruit in 1859. The researcher ex-
planned that paintings of standard
trees would not bear fruit until
1862. Dwarf stock bears faster than
standard trees.
DR.. Fisher has budded the new
experimental strains onto the
dwarf trees, using a budding knife
to make an incision in the bark of
the trees planted last year. Then
he removed the buds from twigs
of the new strains, inserted them
in the incisions and wrapped the
wounds with special rubber bands.
Next spring, all growth, except
from the new buds, will be cut off.

Drop Reported In

Last February, growers reported
intentions to buy nine percent few
er chicks than the year before
Lloyd says. Actually, the growers
bought 19 percent fewer flock re-
placement chicks during the nrst
six months of this year, compared
to 1856.
During these same months, egg
prices averaged % percent below
last year. and feed prices were one
percent higher.
Numbers of chicks raised in every
section of the country have de-
creased, the agent says. Drops re-
ported by the crop reporting ser
vice ranged from 23 percent IN the
east-north-central states to an
eight percent drop in south Allan
tic states. These figures, however
do not apply to broiler chicks.

The SeIf-Mode Type

The exceptional figure in the Holly
wood star gallery is the one who escapes
the machine-made label. Such a one
was Humphrey Bogart. Over period of
more than 20 years, Mr.. Bogart scorned
the publicity process at which the film
studios are so Sticky perfect.
He preferred, he made it emphatically
and sometimes profanely clear, to be that
most admirable of Americans, the rugged
individualist. This attitude began when
Mr. Bogart in the late 3Os took to Holly
wood an admirably indifferent face at a
time when the fashion was the sculptured
leading man.
What he had to sell was on the inside
a solid craftsman In the profession of
acting, solid personality in the man
called Humphrey Bogart. 1t is an inter-
esting commentary on Mr.. Bogart's career
that he could play so compulsively an
endless array Of corrupt characters while
remaining incorruptibly himself In a

Take Over Hungary?

Several thousand Hungar-
ian nationals have already
been admitted to this country,
while a large number still in
Europe are reported as rioting
over the delay in transporting
them across the sea.
1t might be a good idea to
let down all immigration bars
to the people of Hungary, per-
hitting as many as desire to
become American citizens. In
return for this favor that bit
OF real estate known as Hun
gary. strategically situated in
a corner Of Europe where wars
are fomented every century,
could be transferred to the
complete control of the United
States Of America. If the
United States must be en-
broiled in the affairs of Europe,
Africa and Asia. and continue
to feed, house, clothe and pro-
tect the suffering populations,
a base for the maintenance of
troops in the heart of a
troubled area would seem to be
the best assurance in dis
couraging any overainbitious
foreign power which seeks to
gain territory and enslave the
people of weaker nations.

NucIeor Magic

Another striking measure of the mag
ical nature of nuclear engines is the fact
that the Nautilus, the worlds first atomic
submarine, has travelled more than $4,000
miles in the past two years on single
charge of fashionable fuel-the same load
of fuel that it had on board when it
became an operating reality on January
II, 1855.
Judging from some past calculations
of the Atomic Energy Commission,
diesel-powered submarine of comparable
size would have needed in the neighbour
hood of million gallons of oil to travel
in excess of $4,000 miles, or enough oil
to fill about 200 tank cars. BY way of
comparison, the atom-driven Nautilus.
whose revolutionary performance has ex-
ceeded the Nays highest expectations,
has cruised as far as it has with an
incredibly small load Of uranium fuel,
which is only now going to be replenished
for the first time.
This is something that speaks for
itself as an explanation Of why our coun-
try is building or planning to build II
additional nuclear vessels, including sub
marines and an aircraft carrier. Here,
too, is further eloquent evidence of the
atoms immense potentialities in terms
Of industrial power and other uses for
the good Of all mankind.

GomuIko's Worry

Wladyslaw Gomulka, the independ-
ence-minded chief of the Communist
Party in Poland, is openly and under
standably worried about the possible out
come of next Sundays parliamentary
elections in that country. What he
fears is that the vote, rejecting the peo-
pies great economic distress and their
overwhelming anti-Soviet sentiment, may
heavily damage the prestige of his regime.
This fear is based on solid reasoning.
Although Mr.. Gomulka himself appar-
emily continues to be popular hero
because of his past resistance to the
Kremlin, the predominantly Catholic
Poles loathe communism per Sc. And on
Sunday, although they will be able to
vote only for single lists of candidates,
they will have a chance to express their
feelings. They will have such chance
because now, for the first time since the
end of the war, the lists will give them
at least little freedom of choice: They
will be at liberty to cross out the names
of some prominent Communists and give
their support to certain nom Communists
who have been permitted to run.
Or perhaps, instead of voting at
all, great numbers OF Poles will simply
abstain and thus demonstrate their con-
tempt for Communist. rule-a develop
ment that would be a shocking departure
from the customary Red election ''victo-
rieS" that show almost 100 per cent of
the electorate backing the party candi-
dates There is no likelihood, of course,
that the Warsaw regime will be over
thrown on Sunday, but large-Scale abb
Stentions and widespread crossing-out
of names on the single-list tickets may
well do serious damage to its standing
and make it harder for Mr.. Gomulka to
walk his tightrope between domestic and
Soviet pressures.
So it is not surprising that Mr.. Co.
mulka has been displaying nervousness
and issuing appeals to the Polish Com
munists to get out the vote and pressure
it into supporting all the preferred Red
candidates. By indirection, moreover, he
has suggested that Poland itself may suf-
fer If his regime is diScredited by rela-
lively small turnout of the electorate or
too many dissenting ballots. Maybe he
is right in that sense. The Poles, in any
case, have reason to feel uneasy about
the durability of the slight degree Of in
dependence that the Kremlin is supposed
to have granted them in recent weeks.

Hungarian Aid

Our acknowledgment and
thanks are overdue for the ar
ticle you published in Deem
Der about our group, and we
can only ask your indulgence
ON the grounds that since the
date of its publication this
committee has had its hands
full tending to the needs and
resettlement of thousands of
Hungarian refugees who have
passed and are still passing
through it's hands.
We are very proud of the
response that the American
public has made to our appeals
for help with which to carry
out this work. The need for
such help continues. especially
in view Of the fact that the
President of the United States
has increased the quota Of
Hungarian exiles who are to
be brought to this country and
who will, therefore, need as
sistance in finding homes and
opportunities for work.
