The official, 1t. Col. Charles

LATIN AMERICAN NOTES
BroziI, Chile Hit
Foreign IdeoIogies

RIO DE JANEIRo, July 5
(AP).-Brazil and Chile agreed
yesterday that the ''infiltration
Of ideologies from abroad" is a
great danger to the peace and
solidarity Of the Western Hemi-
sphere.
In a joint note signed by the
foreign ministers of both coun-
tries after a conference in
'Brasilia with President Janio
Quadros, the two nations re-
affirmed their support for self
determination of peoples and
voiced strong opposition to in
tervention in the internal or
foreign affairs Of any Ameri-
can nation. The note did not
mention Cuba.
The note said self -determi-
nation should be exercised
through free elections which is
the only way to maintain a
regime Of liberty, justice and
the respect for human rights"
1T Is considered a great
danger to the peace and soli-
darity of the hemisphere the
infiltration of ideologies from
abroad that may be considered
subversive and are aiming at
the destruction of the inter-
American system" the note
added.
The note said the key prob
lens Of Latin America are eco

Down Under Postmaster

The ante-room Of the post
office in Camperdown, Austria
LA, looks like any here in the
United States, but behind the
mail boxes it's a different story.
For the post office of this
Sydney suburb, like most other
similar buildings in the coun-
try, houses not only facilities
for distributing the mails, but
the towns telephone and tele-
graph services as well.
Sylvester j. Mahar, Camper
downs postmaster, explained
that in Australia the three ma
jor communications services
mails, telephone and telegraph
are all grouped under the
heading of the post office de-

in the same building and all
are under the jurisdiction of the

Mr.. Mahar, who is stopping
here with his family on a
round-the-world tour, explained
the reason for this setup dates
back to AuStralia's frontier days
when the town post office
served as the center of the
community. AS a result, he con-
tinued. the government decided
to combine the three major
communication devices under
one operative.
Mr.. Mahar explained that
with all the other operations
going on under the post office

Eichmonn I okesCredit
For 7 ruck Swap Idea

JERUSALEM, July 5 (AP)
Adolf Eichmann made the
startling claim on the witness
stand today that he-and not
Heinrich Himmler-devised the
plan to trade the lives Of a
million Jews for trucks badly
needed by the Nazi armies in
1914.
The former Gestapo lieuten-
ant colonel said he conceived
the idea in Budapest and
chose Jewish Leader Yoel
Brand to fly to Palestine to
try to get the Jewish agency
to negotiate with the Western
allies.
But Eichmann denied he ever
told Mr.. Brand he would still
the death mills of Auschwitz"
or would start them up again
if the bargain collapsed, as Mr..
Brand testified earlier in Eich-
mann's trial.
II never made such a re-
mark. To still the mills of
death or to start them up was
beyond the realm of my juris-
diction," he declared.
Eichmann today told his own
story of his role in Hungary,
where he is charged with per-
Sonally supervising the de-
portation Of 100000 Jews to
their doom. He is indicted by
Israel as the handspring of the
whole mass slaughter of Euro
pean Jewry in his wartime Job
as chief Of Jewish affairs" in
the Gestapo.
Defense Counsel Robert Ser
vatiuS gave Eichmann full rein
to describe his Hungarian ex-
perience-the chapter of the
determination story that forms
a keystone of Israel's case.
Eichmann responded with fer
vor, his hands shaking In ex-
element. Repeatedly the court
had to admonish him to stop
so the Interpreters could catch
up.
The defendants own view OF
his job in Hungary was in di-
rect contrast to the evidence
submitted by Israel. He did
admit helping" to draw ur
travel charts and timetables
for mass deportations ordered
by Himmler but contended the
main responsibility lay with
Nazi Ambassador Edmund
Veesenmayer and SIS Police
Chief Otto Winklemann.
Aside from that, Eichman
said Che was still an "immigra-
ton" officer, even though emf

He said he had so little to

busy. With an embarrassed
grin, he said his command con-
sisted "only" of Is to 20 per-
sons.
Then he laced into a former
colleague, SIS Col. Kurt Becher.
accusing him Of negotiating
emigration of Jews in ex-
change for money and equip
ment in violation Of all of
Himmler'S directives.
Becher, said Eichmann, had
his own ideas Of what twas good

lated "the police system"

portation while others were

said Eichmann.
II considered myself an ex-
pert. I had enough. Veesen-
mayer blamed delay in evacu-
ating Jews on transport. This
was not my fault. I decided to
take into my own hands the
task of emigration"
Then, said Eichmann, he de-
vised the mass emigration"
plan. He sent aides to the jew
ish community to sound them
out.
Mr.. Brand called on him,
Eichmann testified, and was
told that 100000 or 100000
jews could be saved. Then Eich-
mann raised the figure to /
million.

asked. How many had
emergency supplies of food
in the house? How many had
emergency first aid equip
ment in their carp"
I'VE have to move this out
of the realm of science fic-
ton and horror, and move it
down TO a basic common
sense level where we can cope
with it." she declared.
Children, she observed,
can accept almost anything
if it is explained to them
calmly and nationally, in a
quiet tone of voice"
Not In the Shelter
Thus, when Mrs. Thorn
hill speaks of emergency food
supplies, she is not speaking
of the stocked shelves in the
fallout shelter which have
been publicized before.
I'VE want everybody in the
country to have emergency
food supplies in his house,
whether or not he builds a
shelter" said the DEP spokes
man. Every family ought
to have at least two weeks,
and a months supply of food
and water would be even
better"
This is based on the as
sumption that even families
far enough away from a blast
center to survive without a
fallout shelter still will need
food and water until badly
disrupted transportation ia
cilities can get organized
again. Families emerging
from their shelters also are
likely to need the additional
kitchen supplies before trans
portation is resumed.
1t might be called an "in-
the home stockpiling pro-
gram" which can greatly
minimize the Governments
problem in getting farm-to-
market food channels flow
ing again after a disaster,
it was explained.
You can't plan steak and
mushrooms when your re-
frigerator and freezer and
stove don't work, Mrs.
Thornhill said.
On the other hand, she
pointed out, you don't want
to have canned tuna fish II

planning ought to go into
stocking the emergency shelf.

The housewife has found a
champion at the highest level
of Government.
Civil defense planners in
the new office of Emergency
Planning are giving her no
less role than that Of key
stone Of the Nations sur
Vival.
The woman who will help
work out the new program,
and explain 1t to other
women, is Mrs. Ashton
Thornhill, a tall, willowy,
brown-eyed brunette who was
sworn in last Wednesday as
Director of Women's Activ-
tiles for the DEP.
Self sufficiency of the
family unit" for a consid-
cradle period after disaster
strikes, is the basic ann of
all their plans. says a spokes-
man for the new agency.
This. inevitably, puts on
the housewife most of the
burden for equipping her
home with essential food,
water and medical supplies,
and planning to carry her
family through a consider
able period in a world with
out gas, electricity. running
water, the telephone and
many other modern conven-
fences which they all have
come to take for granted.
She won't even have the
television set to keep the kids
busy while they're cooped up
in the house with her for
two weeks or So" the DEP
official added,
Gas, Too
Every citizen ought to
carry two-to-three day sup
ply of food in his car. and
keep the gasoline tank at
least half full at all times,
the DEP believes.
Mrs. Thornhill adds that
families ought to give their
children clear instructions,
with alternatives, on what
they are supposed to do in
the event of a bombing at
tack.
Should they come home if
they are in school?" for in
stance, she said. And il. they
are alone at home, do they
know to go to the shelter,
if there is one?"
Each family's answer may
differ, but in any case the
whole family ought to know
its own family plan, she said.
Although only 80 years old,
and a quiet-talking South
erner, Mrs. Thornhill appears
to have much of the fear
some energy of the man for
whom she worked until a few
days ago, Vice President Lyn-
don B. Johnson.

Diebock Of Everereens
Requires Attention

Yellow and brown leaves and
needles on evergreenS are pro-
nounced this spring.
Some Of this is normal such
as shedding Of year-old holly
leaves and needle drop of
inside foliage Of other ever
greens. But much of it is not,
according to DR.. Philip j.. Rus
den Of the Bartlett Tree Re-
search Laboratories. 6
Dieback Of outer foliage and
branches is most noticeable on
yew, lex, low-growing juniper,
chamaecyparis. azalea, pine,
even hemlock. Further die
back can be expected on shrubs
where long limbs have been
split or trunks and stems de-
barked by rodents.
This injury is due to a COM
bination of factors: Breakage
by heavy winter SHOWS, reflec-
ton sunburn from snow, win
ter winds and deep cold, and
an abnormal amount of rodent
girdhng.
The damage is spotty. One
shrub may be severely dam

First iris to appear in the

iris that give a splash of color
to the rock garden or the
flower border edging. Like
little carpets of color, they
bloom along with the prim-
roses, daffodils and hyacinths.
Less than a foot high, they
form large clumps from single
plants in two or three years.
Nearly every shade from white
and pastels through the deep

able to suit your color whimS.
AS the dwarfS start to wane,
the intermediate iris arrive on
the scene. OF medium height
and size, this in-between group
prolongs the blooming season
until the tall-bearded iris make
their grand entrance in May
and June.

Answer-There are several
plants which are sometimes
called wild potato-a true
morning glory 1pomea pan
durata) and the perennial
bindweed (Convolvulus arven-
sis). Gardeners sometimes dig
out the large white roots of
the first and eliminate ii
eventually. The second is more
difficult to dig and is best
controlled with 2,4-D or SIM
liar herbicide. Since these are
likely to be injurious to other

with a brush or moistenend

Poison Ivy Problem
Is With Us Again

unfortunately the birds seem
to prefer depositing poison ivy
seed along the fence rows,
under shrubs and in hedges.
Chemicals are of no avail in
such situations. The gardener
should put on gloves, take his
spade and dig out the pest as
far as possible. Then be on
the alert for any reappear-
anceS. There is one possible
exception to this statement for
some situationS-a mixture of
8 parts of 2,4-D and one part
fuel oil may be painted on
the stem near the ground line.
Usually this is very effective.
A Toxic Material
DR.. D. L. Klingman of the
United States Department of
Agriculture stated that poison
ivy might be eradicated from
a planting of vinca minor on
a bank with a solution of IL
parts of water to one of
2,4,5-T brush killer and
this painted on the stems of
the poison ivy. However, this
material is very toxic to dog
wood and other shrubs and
must be used with care. DR..
Klingman believes it best to
use the amino triazole and
paint the leaves of the poison
ivy. In all cases carefully note
the dilutions recommended by
the manufacturers because of
the variation in concentra-
tions in the retail packages
on sale.
Finally, If illustrations of
poison ivy are needed to aid
in Identification send for
