Hybrid Tobacco?
Not Likely Soy
N. G. Scientists

Win hybrids some day give
tobacco growers the same
boost in yields that they have
given corn growers?
1t appears unlikely" re-
ports two North Carolina State
College seneticists who have
been studying tobacco hybrids
for the past II years.
The geneticists, DIR. T. j.
Mann and DR.. -. f. MatZinger.
found that tobacco hybrids are
relatively easy To- develop. Blu,
once developed, they offer
practically no yield OF quality
advantage over present COM
mercial varieties.
Occasionally, one of our to-
bacco hybrids would out yield
its best parent by l To 8 per
cent" DR.. Mann explained.
"Most Of the time, the yield
/ was the same"
BY comparison, corn hy-
birds out yield the best OPEN
pollinated varieties by as much
as 25 per cent.
Altogether, DrS. Mann and
MatZinger estimate that they
have tested over 200 tobacco
I hybridS-ab about al that il is
possible To- develop from pres
cnt, widely planted, flue-cured
varieties.

For example. hybrid tobac-

The House had rejected two

Among other things, the bill
would divert $50 million Of the

INTERPRETIVE REPORT.

Sunday decisively rejected
Peronism, it did not give any
one presidential candidate the
81 per cent majority necessary
for election.
Since Argentina has the
same indirection election sys-
TEN used in the United States,
the decision is now thrown into
the national college of elec-
tors. Arturo lila. leader of
the Civic Union Of the Peo-
Piles Radicals, leads with about
rs per cent of the popular
ballot and I'll Of the 476
electoral votes. A total of 239
electoral votes is necessary for
election when the electoral
college meets on July 81.
Coalition Appearing
Indications were building up
today in Argentina that Mr..
lila and his party were NOV
ing toward a new coalition with
an estranged partner, whose
candidate, Oscar Alende, ran
second in the presidential race.
Mr.. Alende is leader of the
Intransigent Radical Party,
which was formerly led by Mr..
Frondizi.
Thees two radical parties
were formerly one until they
split over Mr.. Frondizi's lead
ership in 1856. After Sundays
election, together they COM
mand a clear majority Of the
electors.
The Popular Radical Party
headed by DR.. lila, d 62-year-
old country doctor, led with
1887, 154 votes.
The Intransigent Radical
Party Of Oscar Alende, a 54-
year-old city surgeon, was
second with 1,525,384 votes,

Support from DR.. Alende
could make DR.. lila Argen-

United States officials here
are rubbing their eyes in dis
belief over the happy outcome
of the Argentine elections last
Sunday.
The decisive show Of mod
Grafton not only calls q halt
to almost perpetual tension and
confusion in this major south
ern power of the hemisphere.
1t also gives q much needed
shot in the arm to democratic
processes and the Alliance for
Progress in Latin America.
And it is the kind Of clear
cut victory for United States
diplomacy that has become all
too rare in this hemisphere.
For the past year, the United
States has staked millions of
dollars of credits and aid be-
hind the promise of the Argen-
tine government to hold these
free elections and return the
country to civilian constitu-
tional democracy.
Since March, 1862, Argentina
has been ruled by a weak care
taker government Of President
Jose Guido, who came to power
when irate military leaders
threw out constitutional Presi-
dent Arturo Frondizi. He had
committed the mistake Of al
lowing iieutenants of exiled
dictator Juan Peron, deadly
enemy of the military, to run
in and win 1862 congressional
and provincial elections.
Dominated by Feud
During this year preceding
these new elections, this bitter
feud between the Peronists and
the military, which began when
the military exiled Peron in
1855, dominated the Argentine
political scene. The govern
ment forbade Peronist or
PeroniSt- backed candidates to
run for major office. The Per-
onists responded by ordering
their mass following to vote
blank ballots in protest.
So the major contest was
not really over who would be
elected new President of Ar
gentina. 1t was whether
enough people would cast valid
ballots so as to give a true
popular mandate to whatever
government emerged from the
elections.
The Peronists have suffered
a dramatic setback. Compared
to the one-third of the 9.5
million ballots they claimed
before the elections, they re-
ceived only 16 per cent. 1t
is the first time in eight years
that the Argentine electorate
has shown q decisive rejection
Of the progress mystique evoked
! by the old exiled dictator.
Democracy Has Chance
This outcome is a virtual
revolution in Argentine poll
tics. 1t means that conserva-
tive military leaders and their
old-guard supporters in the
oligarchy can mo longer use
the electoral strength of Per-
onism as an excuse to oppose
democratic processes. 1t means
that democratic parties of the
center have q chance to estab-
lish' social peace and launch
a real reconstruction program,
which would take this rich
country out Of the worst de-
preston in its history.
The remaining problem is to
select a president capable Of
carrying out these possibilities
and to organize a new Con-
greSs able to give him strong
legislative support. Although
