Aleman Proves A 'Good Neighbor1 Mexican President's V isit Boosts Friendly Relations Parasite Dodder May Be Killed by 2. 4-D By BAVKIIAGE Selection of Clean Seed Also Essential \ t u i A e a ty s l s u d C o o m u n ljK ir . WNU Service, 1816 Eye Street. N. W.. Washington. D. C. WASHINGTON.—Despite the fact that relations between the United States and some of our sister repub lics to the south have degenerated considerably since the inventor of the “ good neighbor" policy died that's not the case with Mexico. You would realize that if you had seen the all-time high in demonstra tions that took place when Pres. Miguel Aleman visited Washington. The first meeting and greeting on Constitution avenue had the inspira tion of local pep c a m p a ig n but there was no out- s i d e stimulant i n j e c t e d into w h a t was a really rip - roar ing response to the lanky and smiling L a t i n when he visited congress on May Day. More than a few of his hear ers could follow him in the Span ish—and every- BAVKHAGE body c o u ld match up his liquid phrases with the translation they held in their laps. The speech was short and snappy. When he was through, senators, representatives and the packed gal leries couldn't stop applauding even after el Presidente had disap peared. Applause burst out again and again for almost everybody as they passed up the aisle. Senator Vandenberg, who usually is asso ciated with foreign relations of an other sort, got a generous share along with the cabinet members and diplomatic corps. From the rostrum of the house of representatives, Aleman said that “ nearly 300 million people living i side by side in this hemisphere are | concerned not only with assistance to ward off foreign aggression, but also with the efforts to overcome .the dangers of poverty and despair in the difficult years of peace." A little bit earlier that day a joint statement had been issued, signed by both President Truman and President Aleman, stating that agreements had been reached for the U. S. to grant credits to Mexico —credits to make the greatest and earliest contribution to the eco nomic development of the land be low the Rio Grande. The two chief executives agreed that their respec tive administrations must exert every effort to raise the standards of living in their countries, increas ing productivity and, consequently, purchasing power. L ittle news was brought out be yond what Aleman had said to con gress or what was in the joint state ment concerning loans for Mexican industrial and agricultural develop ment. But there was one, last question: “ What impressed you most on your visit. Mr. President?" “ Arlington and Mount Ver non," he replied, “ The enduring lessons of George Washington, the great father of your coun try, must be constantly taught and rehearsed in your country." M exico E m barkin g On S ix -Y ea r Plan A t N e w s C on feren ce At last the tall smiling figure, flanked by secret service men, appeared. He sat at a table. The newsmen crowded around him, completely cutting off the cameras. The newswomen’s huge hats completely screened the klieg lights. A controversy of no little heat ensued and no little heat exuded from the high candle-power bulbs and the nor mal radiation of a hundred or so energetic human beings. GRO'PUP Bent« CrOBfc »»Ml Om«H« Oklahoma Senator Shot; Telephone Strike Settled PHONE STRIKE E N D S:t r If o r k e M A c c e p t & i . i f ’ Long distance telephone opera- tors agreed to accept a compro mise pay increase of $4 40 a week, thereby ending the month-old strike that has been tying up the nation's communications. Quick settlements of 28 other disputes followed the ac quiescence of the long lines workers to the new terms. The increase means about 11 cents per hour pay boost, vacation benefits and certain other concessions, such as seniority rights. About 22,000 workers in 42 states are affected. The agreement was announced by Asst. Secy, of Labor John Gibson and Conciliation Director Edgar Warren, after a 7t4 hour night ses sion with representatives of the unions and the American Telegraph and Telephone company. Strikes against local companies of the Bell system were settled on substantial ly the same terms. Besides the wage hikes and other benefits the contract with the long dis tance workers was practically a re newal of old terms, which were ex tended for one year. A clause per mits either the union or the com pany to begin negotiations, after September 1, for reclassification of towns to readjust wage schedules.

In wartime, when she was selling us more than she was buying, she built up a supply of dollars. But now she's buying more from us than she’ s selling to us. By allowing her to buy dollars at the rate of five pesos to the dollar, Mexico’s money w ill be kept stable - otherwise individuals might start bidding up the dollar, which would decrease the value of the peso. What did it add up to? Good sense between good neighbors who want to continue to be good customers. Mexico is farther to the left politically than we are, but it is by no means one hun dred per cent socialist. BOX CARS: Shortage Easing Slowly but steadily the boxcar sit uation is improving, declares John Hayden, Chicago district manager of the American Association of American Railroads. Midwest freight conditions, he said, are the best they have been for a long time. Grain cars are moving in adequate numbers to the Southwestern wheat belt, where cutting of the new crop has begun. “ We hope to have several thou sand empties stored there ready to handle the wheat when it comes from the combines,” said Eugene Coughlin, assistant to the chairman of A.A.R. “ The carriers are in con siderably better condition to handle grain traffic than they were last year.” OKLAHOMA: As for Aleman’s political philoso phy. it was plain what he thought Shooting in Senate about the one - party totalitarian A hometown feud exploded into states when he said before con gunplay on the floor of the Okla gress: homa senate house in Oklahoma “ Civilization wanes when the City.

The shooting occurred before the our to make him the good neigh bor we Washingtonians who met afternoon session had opened, when about half the senators were on the him think he is. Finally the newsmen were pushed back and the cameras set to work. Some of the reporters were pushed clear out of range and I saw one helpless, hapless gentleman wedged tightly between the bar and the backs of three husky Mexican pressmen. The poor fellow’s right hand was pinioned so note-taking was impossible. Only his left arm was free, and that was deep in the middle of a nest of scotch-and- sodas. What else could he do about it? (Salud y pesetos!) The photographing continued. The photographers in front wouldn’t stop. The newsmen cried, “ Enough!” One reporter, reversing the ancient proverb sighed, “ One word is worth a thousand pictures." The phdtcgrapher yielded. “ Do they do this in Mexico?” asked an American reporter, archly. “ They do this in Mexico,” an swered a Mexican reporter, in per fect English, white teeth gleaming.

And so the Truman gesture at Chapuliepec was reciprocated. C onfusion P reva ils We newsmen had our own “ hasta la vista” later that afternoon in Blair-Lee house, a part of the twin residences turned over to visiting dignitaries for a press and radio conference which came near "being chiefly a photographic contest. It was a struggle, unseemly indeed, in that somewhat precieuse setting of antique furniture, pale green walls, wide mirrors and not very large early American rooms. Not large enough anyway for the mob which surged about between the little bar, the battery of cam eras and the doorway into the gar den through which el Presidente was to appear. Dogwood in the gar den looked over the brick wall, somewhat startled at the noisy gathering. By W. J. DRYDEN Field dodder is an annual para sitic vine, growing on lospedeza, al falfa, clover and various members of the dandelion family. It attaches Itself to other plants and sends small growth into their tissue to ab sorb the sap. As preventive is easier than the cure. It Is essential thut only seed free from dodder be planted Spots in fields should be eliminated Tills Circle shows how dodder wraps Itself around alfalfa to absorb the tap. Is possible by the use of 2.4-D weed killer. While the 2.4-D also w ill kill lespedeza and other plants In the sprayed areas, the loss usually w ill prove negligible as the dodder usu ally w ill be confined to small scat tered areas. The labor Involved in cutting out dodder is excessive and it Is almost j impossible to remove all of the para- ; site by this method. Infested fields may be planted to grain or corn for several years. These crops arc not attacked, but care should be taken that the dodder does not continue growing on weeds in the field V.

The move w ill reverse the state department’s 158-year-old tra dition. Heretofore the department has vigorously resisted taking on any functions except formulation of policy. Former Secretary Byrnes wanted administration of Germany left with the war department, but Marshall, himself a veteran of the war depart ment, is w illing to change that. He has not revealed any details of the civil government setup that he has in mind. Obviously a considerable m ilitary force w ill be needed in Ger many for some time, in case of out breaks. Marshall denied that American and British officials had run into difficulties over basic policy in plans for merging the American and B rit ish zones, as reported from Berlin. « t o y s I 1 Helps remove film . . . bring out all the natural lustre o f your smile. 2 A special ingredient in Caloz encourages r«g«/o» m anage . . . winch has a tonic effect on gums . . . helps make them firm and rosy.

Non-heading, long standing Slobolt produces wrinkled, frilled, light green leaves Plants are at moderate size. If the plants are set 10 to 12 inches apart and only basal leaves used, Slobolt lettuce may be harvested over a period of several weeks. Slo bolt makes a good fall crop from midsummer plantings. It produces usable leaves three weeks longer than many well-known commercial leaf lettuce varieties. It receives its name because it is slow to "bolt" seed stems In warm weather. Farm Productivity Increases of output and increased use of fer tilizer and lime for soil enrichment. Approximately twice the amount of fertilizer used 10 years ago is be ing used now, use of lime has in creased threefold and acreage plant ed with hybrid seed corn, for exam ple, has increased from “ less than 5 per cent of the total corn acreage 10 years ago, to more than 65 per cent now.” Since the yield from hybrid seed is about 20 per cent greater than from common strains, “ the effect upon overall output is clearly evident." Further, farm productivity was in creased because production of meat animals, requiring about one-third as much labor per unit of produc tion as dairy products, has gained.

Between 1940 and 1944 tractor production increased more than 25 per cent, mechanical corn pickers more than 35 per cent and grain combines and milking machine installations more than 50 per cent. Increased productivity and low ered costs coming from mechaniza tion “ give hope that the farm er may through increased per capita produc tion, attain the same standard of living as the industrial worker does with the large assortment of tools provided ft)" nim,” the article con cluded. Herds and Flocks For Greater Profit Even up the size of litters. A sow w ill take strange pigs before hers are two days old. Make changes when pigs are ready to suck. Sprinkle the strangers with a weak solution of stock dip. Dock all lambs and castrate all buck lambs at one to three weeks. Combine the two operations—castrate first, then dock.

Dehorn calves when young (under 10 days) with a chemical dehorner that won’t rub ofT on the udder or flanks of the cow. A chemical de horner works best on young calves, and calves are easier to handle when young.

Hydrated lime, re member—not ground limestone. T reat Egg Right to Keep In Cold Storage Treating an egg right means stor Ing it clean, covered and cold, say University of Nebraska specialists. Eggs when clean should be stored in a covered bowl or pan, away from strong-smelling foods. Without a cover, eggs lose moisture and are likely to absorb odors. When kept In a cold place, even for part of a day, they stay good longer. Stored at room temperatures, eggs may lose much quality in three days. I / ou / l J u I luul ßlUf. S avin g a <ßond&.
