case was set for today, to pos
Sibly fix a trial date, but that
he could not proceed unless the
defendant was present.
The judge indicated an early
trial is likely.
Hardy Lott, one Of three at

told the court that, if the case
had been called today, the de-

for trial Tuesday.

Il understand you all have been

Beckwith, AZ, Of Greenwood,

pail, where he has been held
since July.
Hendrick previously had or
dered him committed to the
state hospital for mental exam

o. H. Barnett, in whose juris-
diction the state hospital is To-
Gated, blocked the mental exam

Since 1858, opponents have

The two, John F. Reilly, head
of the security office, and Ell
mer D. Hill, chief of its divi-

cial, Otto F. Otepka. Atepka
was fired for giving certain in
formation to a Senate investiga-
tor.
Sen. Thomas j. Dodd, D.
Conn, charged last week that
Reilly and Hill, in effect, had

they were involved in an at
tempt to "bug" Otepka'S tele-
phone. The two men were
placed in administrative
leave by the State Department
following Sen. Dod's charges
last week.

men today that REILLY and Hill
"have rendered their designa-
tons and the department has

gardener might attempt two or
three tomato plants--if pro-

they may succeed in spite Of
the fact that the blooms do not

Late April and early may is

weather should be warm enough
for peppers, squash, lima beans,
and cucumbers. Eggplant, pole

Plants for Starting
The home garden begins in

and other frost-hardy crops
can be put into the ground.
Many will want to skip the
garden peas since they return

cupied and If it should turn
hot at the time Of maturity
the quality will be ruined-it's
a risky crop at best. Cabbage
takes considerable space and
may give way to broccoli which
produces over a fairly long
season. Onions, which are avail
able as sets or plants produce
much better than from seed.
The crops produced from sets
will store much better than
those grown from plants, which
are usually Of the sweet Span
ish type. However, the plants
produce the early crop-set
them 2 or 3 inches apart and
pull every other one when large

onions"
A week or so later will be
time enough to make the first
sowings of Swiss chard, beets,
carrots, lettuce. etc.--crops that
will grow at low temperatures.
The Swiss chard will produce
throughout the season, hence
only q few plants will be
needed-space them a foot
apart. The beets, lettuce and
carrots need ample spacing in

Growing a vegetable garden,

In addition, the garden is
the best place for our young
sters to learn how to plant,
cultivate and grow things.
Sooner or later they will have
q home of their own and will
want to grow things. Now Is the
time to teach them how.
Growing vegetables should
not be q major activity, It
should be one that is well with
In the strength and time Of the
gardener. Very few gardens can
be fruitful If they are not we'll

that the gardener not attempt
more than he can easily care
for. Also, 1t Is far too easy to
think in terms Of major scale
activities. For example, q dozen
well-tended tomato vines should
produce far more fruit than a
family Of three or four can
use, so why plant IS or more?
Five feet Of radishes will pro-
duce more than this same sized
family will eat before they be-
come hot and pithy.
Beans. lettuce, carrots and
many other garden crops should
be planted so as TO produce
only that which the family can
