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-

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."

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.

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.
Officials of the long lines workers’
i union indicated the members would

cal telephone workers.

can spare them. 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.

Grain cars are moving in adequate

“ We hope to have several thou­

Coughlin, assistant to the chairman
of A.A.R. “ The carriers are in con­

The shooting occurred before the

bor we Washingtonians who met afternoon session had opened, when
about half the senators were on the

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.

We newsmen had our own “ hasta

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

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

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.

Slobolt lettuce, developed by the

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

usable leaves three weeks longer

name because it is slow to "bolt"

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.

The tremendous advance in mech­

tractor production increased more
