June Gardening Hints.

Continue to apply dust to rose
bushes after every rainy period.
This must be kept UP until the
fall.
Cultivate the surface soil to
kill weeds.
Insects are liable to become
troublesome now. Watch for them
and apply remedial measures
early.
An added feeding of complete
fertilizer may be given to any
perennials which seem oneed it.
Sheared deciduous hedges
should be trimmedbefore the new
growth hardens sufficiently to
make 1t difficult to cut.
Pinch out the tips of growing
shoots of chrysanthemums until
they are bushy.
Dahlias may be planted up until
about the middle of the month.
Tropical waterlilies may be
planted this month.
Remove flower heads from
1ilacs and rhododendrons for tidi-
ness and to conserve the plants
energies.
Thin the fruits of apples,
peaches, plums, etc., If too thick

Why not try your hand at pro-
pagating shrubs from softwood
cuttings? From the last of May
until August is a suitable time.
Use a vacant coldframe.

Ten Thousand Acres Of wood
land are being cleared each year
In Delware. Bill Taber, the state
forester, gives us this figure and
says the land Is going into crops,
principally soybeans.
Our farm agency people are
taking a critical look at our
forest reserves, which admit
tedly do not return much in
cash to farm owners. But trees
are important as windbreaks
against erosion In dry weather.
Trees also help store ground
water for local uses and provide
recreational areas. These are
benefits to the entire community.
Farmers should be given In
centives to keep such land In
trees perhaps with 10 or 20
year easements to continue their
present use. Bill says easements
are widely used on the West
Coast for this purpose. Why not
here?
Cygon is a brand new insec-

It's a contact killer, a residual

Williams Calls
For Ole Miss
Prof Be Fired

JACKSON (UPI)- Rep. John
Bell Williams, D-Miss., called
upon Mississippi Monday to "fu-
migate" its college Stats to in
sure the teaching Of American
ism not foreign ideologies."
Williams specifically recon-
mended, without mentioning
any Names, the firing Of veter-
an history Prof. James Silver
at the University of Mississippi.
"The time has come to call
the bluff Of anyone who cusses
a state which has fed him for
% years, and get rid Of him."
said Williams.
Silver, a member of the Ole
Miss faculty for % years, told
an Asheville, NC, audience
last week that Mississippi has
an "official orthodoxy almost
identical with pro : slavery
days"
"Accreditation or no accredi-
tation, the time has come to
fumigate our college STATS"
said Williams. "Americanism
must be taught in our schools,
not foreign ideologies."
Williams also charged that
the Kennedy administration is
using the Federal Communica-
tons Commission to impose
censorship on news media.
He described the commissions

Hoffa Is Refused
Probe Request
By High Court

WASHINGTON CUPID - The
Supreme Court refused today to
examine the claim Of Team
sters President James R. Hoffa
that he was indicted on charges
Of jury tampering in Tennessee
by an improperly constituted
grand jury.
The brief order let stand
lower federal court rulings that
this legal issue should not be
brought up at this stage in the
proceedings. 1t cleared the way
for the trial to take place.
A federal grand jury in Nash
vile charged Hoffa and six 9TH
ers with approaching jurors and
their relatives in the fall Of
1862, offering cash and other in
dictments to acquit Hoffa in a
trial then taking place. The
trial, involving Taft-Hartley Act
charges, ended in a hung jury.
The federal court in Nashville
had set Oct. IA for the jury
tampering trial when Hoffa
challenged the grand jury. He
contended that Negroes, Cath
olicS, Jews, manual laborers
or organized labor were improp-
erly excluded from the panel.
He also contended that the
"suggestors" who proposed
names of grand jurors were not
a true cross-section of the COM
munity.
Hoffa said he didn't get a fair
break because the SUCCESSORS
knew the grand jury was espe-
cially established to consider the
case of one who has been the
target Of an unprecedented,
well : publicized campaign by
the present (national) admins
tration."
"A presumption Of prejudice
under these circumstances must
arise" he said.

Foreign Aid Debated

The convoy cleared the Rus

At neither checkpoint did the

MOBILE, Ala. (UPI-A fed
eral judge today denied a
government request that an
Alabama county be restrained
from calling Justice Depart
ment attorneys as witnesses in
an investigation of the use of
a department-rented car to
Negro leader DIR. Martin
Luther King Jr.
MOBILE, Ala. (UPD - The
Justice Department sought a
court order today to block an
Alabama grand jury from sub
poenaing several us officials
in an investigation of free
transportation provided to Ne
gro leader Martin Luther King
Jr. by the government.
The suit asked the federal
court to forbid six Dallas Coun-
ty officials from using the
grand jury to "harrass, frus-
trate and obstruct" federal law
enforcement efforts in the coun-
ty.
In its request for the restrain
ing order, the government
charged that the grand jury
was part of a larger pattern of
attempted intimidation of poten-
tial Negro voters in the coun-
ty.
The suit was filed in us. Dis
trict Court. The grand jury had
subpoenaed seven Justice De-
partment officials and a num-
Der Of Negroes active in voter
registration efforts in the coun-
ty.
The Justice Departments
complaint said the subpoenaes
and the investigation exceeded
the authority Of the grand jury.
It noted that Dallas County
solicitor Mcleod had stated
publicly that the principal pur-
pose of the grand jury was to
let the American people know
about the charges against the
Justice Department.
A department spokesman said
a grand jury has the right to
do this but does not have the
power to investigate any organ
Of the federal government.
The complaint also noted that
William F. Thetford, circuit
solicitor in Montgomery, had
expressed a view similar to
McLeod's earlier. Thetford
wrote that there was no viola
ton Of state law but he was go
ing to take the matter to the
grand jury as a matter of pub
lie interest.

Judge Curran's decision, in
the light of the United States

The Mallory rule provides
that confessions and other
evidence obtained by police
from a defendant cannot be

of his rights.
The Killough decision by the
