u. s. Shakes Off Restrictions on
 Atom Testing
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

AUGUSTA, Ga, R, The United States freed itself today to resume nuclear weapons tests at any time nm but with prior notice to the rest of the world.
 The decisiin was reached at a top level conference of 15 Admin istration officials headed by President Eisenhower.
 It put this country in a position to take tougher stand in nego- tiations with Russia at Geneva over discontinuing nuclear tests.
 What the Administration did was to begin what Presidential statement called period of vol untary suspensions of nuclear weaponus tests," beginning Jan- uary 1.
 During this period, the Presi- dent said, the U. s. will "con- tinue it's active program of wea- pon research, development and laboratory-type experimentation"
 Although we consider our selves free to resume nuclear weapon testing, we shall not re- sume nuclear weapons tests without announcing our intention in advance of any resumption" Eisenhower said.
 At the moment the United States is operating under a mora torium on tests which last until midnight Thursday.
 It has been in effect for A months. The White House said the moratorium was a definite com mitment covering a definite time, as distinct from the new "volun- tary suspension" which carries no deadline.
 Eisenhower accused Russia of clouding the Geneva talks, now in recess until January 12, with ''in- temperate and technically unsup- portable" information He said the Soviets have injured chances of agreeing for halting of nuclear tests, but this country neverthe- less will continue taking part in the discussions.

They should be spaced from 8
to IL inches apart (the dwarf
forms the closest) depending
upon the location.
In time a single plant may
spread to two feet, but for
immediate effect the closer
planting is desirable.
At the end of the second
season every other plant should
be removed to permit the re-
naming plants to attain max
lmum size. A husky. well de-
veloped plant should produce
many spikes to provide the
color effect desired. However
they are good for cutting and

Veronicos, Some New,
Are Reliable PerennioIs
By w. H. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor

The veronicas have long
been considered one Of the de-
pendable perennials for WASH
ington flower gardens. Form
erly, the only varieties available
Dame in various shades Of blue,
but today we have them In
white and several shades Of
pink. Most Of them are fairly
resistant to our hot summers
and dry soils. This makes them
most useful in the perennial
border where summer color is
needed.
While the veronicas are gen.
orally considered to be sun
lovers they do tolerate light
shade, in fact protection from
the midday and afternoon sun
seems to prolong their flower
ing season.
They are not demanding as
to soil, but like most other
flowers reward with stronger
growth and many more flower
spikes the gardener who plants
them in a well-prepared bed.
A generous supply Of compost
or peatmoss should be spaded
into the bed before planting.
An annual application Of plant
food and a moderate mulch
cover keep the veronicas in
good growth and flower for
many years. While they are
easily divided in the spring.
this is not necessary unless adj
ditional plans Of given variety
are needed.
Many New Varieties
The veronicas are available
In a variety of sizes and forms,
from the creeper, v. rupestris
which grow from 8 to 4 inches
tall, to varieties that reach
from 10 to "a inches in height.
AS indicated, there are a
number of new varieties now
available in addition to the
older standard ones.
Blue Spire is expected to be-
replaced by Blue Peter. Both
are early summer boomers and
approximately 10 inches tall.
: Icicle is the new white that
Is a long season bloomer and
grows about is inches tall.
Pavane, a recent introduce
ton, is a clear pink and a sum-
mer bloomer.
Barcarole is a low growing
rose-pink 90 inches) that
flowers from June through
August.
Blue Champion is probably
The talleSt growing variety. two
feet, and is an early summer
bloomer.
v. longifolia subSessilis has
about the same height of
growth as Blue Champion, but
Aowers from midsummer to
early fall. Its strong growth
and freedom of bloom make it
equally desirable to the named
varieties.

Control Luwn Weeds

Spray the lawn to control
weeds. The chickweed is too
tough now for 2,4-D but may
be controlled through the use
of potassium cyanate and 2.4,5-
TIP. In using these materials
observe all precautions to pre-
vent injury to nearby plants.
A coarse spray applied at low
pressure when the air is still
reduces the hazard Of using
weedkillers.

the materials that kill dormant

end. After crabgrass sprouts,
use PIMA.

those who say it was inadvis-
able. The Senator said the

hover trip was necessary.
Says Congress Must Act
Senator Gore said the prob
lens that need correction in
foreign aid can be worked out,
but Congress must insist on
country-by-country evalua-
tions.
He said the Executive Branch
is in a better position to make
these evaluations, and he hopes
it will not be necessary for
Congress to build up its own
staff in order to do the job.
AS examples of things that
need correction, the Senator
said there has heen no audit
of counterpart funds in Wet
Nam and that the Wet Nam
Government has turned down
six American requests for such
an audit.
He said he also learned that

Nam too many automobiles.
Wouldn't Push Birth Control
On the question Of whether
the United States should make
foreign aid funds available to
promote birth control in coun-
tries like India, Senator Gore
said he thought this country
should respond If requested to
do so. But he does not think
this country "ought to try to
sell such a program.
The birth control issue has
become a hot one politically
since potential presidential
candidates began commenting
on a declaration by the Catho-
lie hierarchy against the use of
American foreign aid for that
purpose.
Senator Gore said an Indian
official told him the govern
ment has had little success in
reaching the masses of its peo-
pie with planned parenthood
information. and that the
population is increasing faster
than steps can be taken to
make the food supply adequate.
Commenting on this situa-
ton, Senator Gore said:
After seeing the teeming
thousands of hungry children
in the arms of haggard moth
ers who were pregnant again.
I cannot think of a more merci-
full thing. or anything more
helpful to peace than the effec-
tiveness of such a program (for

ask the President to reconsider
his decision not to make avail
able such reports.
The administration last
month turned down a request
by a Foreign Relations subcom-
mittee headed by Senator
Mansfield. Democrat of Mon
tana. for such a report on Wet
Nam.
Needs Tightening Up
Senator Gore said that in
the countries he visited he
found more good than bad in
the aid program, but that il
needs basic notifications and
a Tightening up of adminiStra-
ton, both in the field and in
Washington"
He came back with three
other conclusions:
l. There is more political
stability throughout this area
(the Middle East and Asia)
than he found three years ago
2. Friendly governments in
these areas have greater mill
tary potential than they had
three years ago.
3. He found an overwhelm-

he would live to celebrate his 89th birthday
on Aug. 5, 1859.
He did, thanks to stout old heart and
the hand of Divine Providence.
An understanding man of great toler-
ance, but never one to be all things to all
men, Rev. Bekavac was the Dean of the
Croatian Catholic Clergy on the North
American Continent
Designated Pastor Emeritus in 1856 of
St. Mary's - where he served continuously
since 1911 - this truly benign man was
born in Obrenovac, Croatia, Aug. 5, 1870
and came to Pittsburgh back in 1900, or at
time when what is now the Croatian Fra
ternal Union had been in existence only six
short years
He was also the oldest Priest in the vast
Diocese of Pittsburgh.
In passing, he leaves his legion of friends
with fond memories of the good one man
can do in this world if he will be but toler-
ant of his fellow men,
Rev. Bosiljko Bekavac was just that
throughout his long career as a Priest.

Summers End

THE END OF the Society's summer
sports program will come Sunday,
Aug. 30, with the staging in Farrell, Pa, of
the 4th Annual CF'U Softball Tournament.
Due to many reasons - the prolonged
steel strike heading the list - only six
teams will battle it out for the right to rule
as the Croatian Fraternal Unions undis-
puted softball champions.
They will represent Youngstown, Ohio,
Lodge 66; Johnstown, Pa, Lodge 5 (2);
Farrell, Pa, Lodge 126; Versailles, Pa,
Lodge 146; and Clairton Pa, Lodge 248
The crown at the moment rests with the
Farrell squad.
In fact, FarrelPs Lodge 126 teams have
captured every single one of the past three
softball classics to set their opponents on
their collective ears.
Champions, however, are not always for
this world. They rise and fall with the pas
sage of time and others come along to rele-
gate them to the proverbial pot.
So, it may well be that Farrell will go
the way of all softball flesh when day is
done Sunday, Aug. 30, and the Society gets
around to crowning it's 1859 rulers in that
field of sports
All of which may or may not be the
case in the long run. We shall see.
