With the Heaths being chiefly interested in bulb
production, the Spring blooms bonus crop Dur
ing the years. they have built up demand in certain
cities for their novelty blooms
Most people" MIR. Heath says, want the yellow
dafodils They associate the yellows with the spring
flowers and isn't easy to sell quantities of the nov
city varieties
I'VE do big gift-box business with people who
have learned about flowers and order regularly
each year and with wholesale florist in New York"
Daffodils make an ideal flower for lazy gardeners
They require little care
The Heaths cultivate only the plants they are to
dig each year, and plant sorghum in the fields with
the other flowers When the sorghum grows tall and
the tops of the daodils have dried the fields are cut
with circular mower which forms mulch
The bulbs are dug after the tops dry and are held
in drying sheds until orders filled and shipped in
the Fall Then the Heaths are off to Florida for an
other Winter

each Spring bring growers more than $25OOOO.
George Heath became q daffodil expert, recog.
nzed by authorities everywhere one of the coun-
tys ablest growers. On his small farm near Glouces-
ter Court House, Mr. Heath grows hundreds Of vare-
ties of daffodils and has become of the leading
bulb producers in the East
If you should visit the Heath farm during the
flower season, and If you should wander around to
screened porch overlooking Back Greek, chances are
you'd find vases Of beautiful flowers lined up against
the wall.
These are for MIR. Heaths enjoyment. He loves to
study the new varieties as they come into bloom.
Il like to look at flowers he says. when the daft
fodils stop blooming there is row of iris with many
varieties, and other flowers all through the season.
At the Heath farm you can buy daffods for as
little as Is cents bulb or for much $50 bulb
Actaea for example, costs only cents, and is popu
lar Poetcus daffodil with rededged yellow cup and
white petals The $50 bulb is the Royal Gold ofthe

Once MIR. Heath tried his hand at hybridizing, or
developing new dafodil varieties but that venture
ended in disaster.
Il had hundreds Of seedlings, the result of five
years work When went to Florida that Fall left
instructions with the gardener to dig up all the wild
onions on the place.
HE did, too. But he also dug up all my Seeding
daffodils along with the wild onions.
THAT was the end. Five years work shot was

belonged to Portugal for CEN
turtles. There we're many
ways TO settle the dispute
equitably, but these were dis
regarded by him and an act
of aggression was substituted.
This lost India lots of friends
in the outside world. For Mr..
Nehru had been the leading
champion Of the formula of
settling International dis
putes by mediation and other
peaceful methods.
Now the future of India
herself is at stake. An act
of aggression has been COM
mitted by Red China. India
has already lost a valuable
part of her territory. 1t is
a paradox to read news re-
ports from New Delhi stat
ing that, in spite of what
has happened. Mr.. Nehru
still favors the admission Of
Red China into the United
Nations. Yet it was a similar
act of aggression by Red
China In North Korea in
1850 against U. N. forces
which prompted the passing
of a resolution by the Cen
eral Assembly which con-
demned Red China as an ag-
gressor. This has been the
main reason the United
States has held out firmly
ever since against rewarding
an aggresSor with member
ship in the United Nations.
If there's a more enlight-
ened attitude by India in the
field of international affairs
and if Red China is outlawed
at last in New Delhi be-
cause Of the latest acts of
aggression, then the way is
opened for a mutually help
full relationship between the,
United States and India. It
may prove costly in money to
this country, but it is a mill
tary maneuver of vast i'm
portance to the United
States. 1t could be the means
Of saving many American
boys from another Korean
type war in Asia.

American Help Against Red Chinese
Expected to Have For-Reochinq Effect

should be taken to heart by
other so-called "neutrals" of
the world. 1t is that, when
the chips are down. little
help Of substance can be ex-
pected from the Soviet
Union. For a long time now
Mr.. Nehru has played ball
with Moscow. Perhaps much
of this can be blamed on
Krishna Menon, who seems
to have swallowed the Com
munist line for many years.
He finally was forced out of
the position of minister of
defense and then out of the
cabinet altogether by the
realists inside India who
couldn't tolerate his double
dealing.
With krlShna Menon out
of the picture, the patriotic
leaders of India might influ-
ence Mr.. Nehru to become a
full-fledged partner of the
West, particularly the United
States. India over the next
Is years will need economic
help for her huge population,
but she can make no pro-
gress in a sociological or in
dustrial way unless her mill
tary position is secure. If the
United States is able to &C
complish this for her, the
future of midas relation
ships with this country will
be on a firm basis.
The Indian government it.
self, however, is not with
out fault. Its dispute with
PakiStan over the Kashmir
territory is illogical and I'M
justified. The people of
Kashmir are Moslems and, If
it were left to a vote, they
would go to Pakistan. India
has refused to negotiate. This
is a mistake.
Likewise. Mr.. Nehru made
a blunder in the way he
handled the Goa question.
Here was a province that had

The United States is get
ting ready to help India in
her war with Red China.
Military supplies and perhaps
technical advisers will be
sent to aid Indian military
forces. Great Britain is do
ing the same.
This is a development of
far-reaching Importance in
Americas relations with the
Far East.
For 1t means that at last
the United States and the
West will have a leverage as
against Red China and cause
the Communists to hesitate
before attacking Formosa or
the people of any other area
in the Western Pacific now
allied with this country.
1t is. therefore, to the
military advantage of the
United States to assist India.
Also, midas request for as
sistance from America is, in
effect, the beginning of mill
tary alliance.
Conceivably, If India be-
comes a real military power
and is definitely aligned
against Red China, the day
may come when the Chinese
in Tibet will feel encouraged
to take the risks of a revolt
against the Communist re-
gime in Peiping.
Certainly, the whole South
east Asia situation will be
affected favorably for the
United States if there is a
definite military tie-up be-
tween America and India.
This becomes a potential
force in diplomacy and can
achieve a kind of balance Of
power which could postpone
indefinitely. If not avert, a
big war between Red China
and the West.
1t is important, too, to note
that Pandit Nehru seems to
have learned a lesson which

Smith also noticed his silken
shirts and expensive neckties.
On the evening of September
IL Vassall walked out of the
back door of the Admiralty into
the waiting arms of Supt.
Smith and Chief Inspector Fer
guson Smith.
He was taken to the Yard
and the detectives went to his
flat in Dolphin Square, where
they opened the door of 807,
Hood House and walked into
a room of secrets.
In a secret compartment In
a table were two cameras and
l40 photographs of II top
secret Admiralty documents.
The decision to arrest Vassall
had been taken, because the
spy was planning to flee the
coop. Special branch officers at
London airport had warned
Scotland Yard that Vassall was
planning to leave the country
to fly to Rome on Septem-
Der Is.
Galbraith Meeting Suspected
This travel plan, later, gave
rise to speculation that he had
intended to meet his former
superior, Thomas Galbraith,
who had in the meantime been
given cabinet rank as Secre-
tary of State for Scotland.
Galbraith, who resigned his
cabinet post when his name
became linked with VasSall's,
was alleged to have planned
helping VaSsall in pulling a
Pontecorvo"-an allusion to
British atom spy Bruno Pom
tecorvo, who also escaped to
the Iron Curtain via Italy.
Disclosure of these allega-
tons by Prime Minister Mac
milan in Parliament led to the
establishment of the high
tribunal which is now probing
the Vassall affair anew. Vas
sail, meanwhile. is serving 10
years in prison. For the mo-
ment, he is still at Brixton
Jail, London, but will be trans
ferred to the famed prison of
Pentonville later.

lose through hasty action. So
good was he, in fact, that the
Portland ring was only asked
to supply details which were
inaccessible to the Admiralty
clerk. Vassall was told to sus-
pend his activity.
Vassall's spy master, Incl
dentally. was the same man
who supervised the Portland
ring: Burly, thick-set Mai.
Nikolai Korovin, fourth coun-
sellor at the Soviet Embassy
in London, living in an apart
ment at Pelham Court, Kens-
ington.
Not until January this year
was Vassal told to start up
again. 1t was March before
British agents in the Soviet
capital reported that the flow
of secret navy documents had
resumed.
At the Admiralty, British in
telligence agents mingled with
the staff. And Scotland's "spe-
cial branch" also efficient in
its record against enemy spies,
entered the case.
List of 80 Suspects
Detective Supt. George Smith,
the same man who had broken
the Portland ring, was assigned
to the case.
The number of suspects at
one time was 30. Then by a
process of elimination the field
was narrowed. But Vassall, I'M
aware of the investigation,
went on stealing.
Supt. Smith started "shad-
owing" VaSSall himself.
He saw him leave the back
door of the Admiralty and go
to his apartment in Dolphin
Square, a block of luxury flats
on the Thames embankment.
Next, Vassall was trailed
from the flat to the exclusive
Bath Club membership: S78
a year,, in Brook street in
Mayfair.
Is Suits in Is Days
Another day, the superin-
tendent saw Vassall go to
Jaeger's, a Fashionable mems
store, in Regent street to pay
cash for a $135 suit.
None of this tailed with
what should be the life of a
$28-a-week clerk.
In is days Vassall wore is
different handmade suits.

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-The
beginning Of the end for John
Vassall's strange double life of
vice and espionage under the
guise Of a respected civil serv-
ant dates back almost two
years, when agents of MIS-,
Britain's famed counterintel-
hgence service, cracked another
spy case, on January Z, 1861.
On that day, while Vassall
was entertaining his friends
and family at a cocktail party
in his luxury flat at Dolphin
Square, London, intelligence
agents moved in to arrest five
members Of a spy ring led by
George Blake, British Foreign
Office employee, who had been
spying for Moscow for nine
years.
Among those arrested with
Blake were Gordon Lonsdale,
Harry Houghton, Ethel Gee,
and two Americans, Peter Kro-
ger and his wife, Helen. Hough-
ton and Gee were employed at
England's super-secret Port
land naval base.
MicrOfilm Found
When Kroger's home in
Cranley drive, RuiSlip, Middle
sex. was searched, investigators
found tiny strips of microfilm
hidden inside dummy orna-
ments. During the next few
weeks, the films were checked
against the original secret
documents, to find the depart
ments which had been raided
by the spies.
But one strip of film could
not be traced back to either
Houghton or Gee, of the Port
land base. 1t came from a de-
partment inside the British
Admiralty.
And military intelligence
knew that yet another spy ring
was operating in the navy's
vulnerable nerve center, the
Admiralty (where Vassall was
a clerk.
British counteragentS in
Moscow were told to watch and
wait for the next batch Of
secrets to arrive. They knew 1t
would be several months be-
fore the Russians decided to
start up again through their
man in the Admiralty, whoever
he was.
Russians Bide Time
Therefore, in London, British
intelligence could only wait
it was necessary to find the
origin of the information with
out alerting the spy's
suspicious.
The Russians bided their
time. Vassall, a homosexual
who had been blackmailed into
spying for the Russians while
a clerk in Britain's Moscow
Embassy, was too valuable to

200 Hear AID
Agency Head at
Consumer Forum

Consumers should stop being
suspicious of new products! In
stead they should be eager to
try them; buy them; and tell
their neighbors about them-if
the products satisfy.
This was the message of Mrs.
Jean w. Rindlaub, vice presi-
dent of Batten, Barton, Ours
tine and Osborn, Inc, New York
advertising firm, to 200 persons
attending the second Delaware
Consumer Forum in George
town, Thursday, April 5.
In her address, ''How to
Make Yourself Felt in the Mar
ket Place." Mrs. Rindland said
consumers have a responsibility
to let the manufacturer know
that they like a product, just as
they should let him know if
they dislike it.
"The best way to indicate
your satisfaction is to buy the
product...and keep buying it,.
and tell all your friends to buy
it," she said.
Mrs. Rindland, who is an
authority on advertising direct
ed to women, gave a number
of examples of excellent pro-
ducts that failed or were with
drawn because of too slow Gus
toner response. She urged a
positive, inquisitive approach to
shopping, with each successive
purchase representing a vote OF
confidence in the product and
its manufacturer.
A second speaker, Norman E,
Gottlieb, vice president and
counsel with the National Bet
ter Business Bureau, Inc, New
York, discussed the regulation
of advertising. He described the
role of government and volun-
tary agencies in protecting con-
