TRILLIONS of the contributed dollars, are going into

Hardier Tomato Is Prospect
This section oi the Rogue Oliver 'valley1 cab Re
duce an exceptionally fine and flavorful tomato for
which there is a ready fresh; and cannery market.
But there are weather- characteristics which have
tended to discourage tomato growing on a commercial
scale, and have deprived the farmers of a substantial
revenue.; a'u -' ' ' ' : ' . - J. , . : . . . T;'
One of the hazards is frost in the spring. In order
to take advantage of as long a growing and bearing
period as possible, farmers are tempted t6 planl; the
vines early. All too often a frostrcomes along to nip
the' tender growth. 'Sy-fA
At the other end of the season another difficulty
is often encountered. September or October rains
crack the fruit, lowering the market quality. v& v t;
"THOSE who would like to ow more tomatoes wi
be interested in the experiments emg Conducted
at the Oregon State College "where researchers ' are
seeking to develop a new tomato variety that will set
fruit early, produce a heavy tonnage and will prove
resistant to cracking as a result of rain. - .
Along with the early developing, long producing
and non-cracking qualities, the horticulturists are try
ing to bring forth a combination which will be less
susceptible to curly top virus, late blight and verticil
lum wilt'- v'M ;':,'--.v-V5V-'
Some, but not all, of the desired virtues have ben
realized, according to a recent O.S.C. report, and
limited amounts of trial seed of at least three selec
tions will be distributed to county agents and branch
experiment stations this spring. Seed sent to agents
will be redistributed to selected growers for plant ob
servation. f i .
TF A FAIR degree of success is attained through the
O.S.C effort this region should prof it greaSy for

Nehru May Be Given
Co-Existence Chance
I nf pisaOwniCpss'y
Br CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru of India may have a
chance to co-exist with Commu
nism in his
own country
pretty soon.
Nehru talks
a lot about
the benefits of
co-existence as
recommended
by the Krem
lin. ; v
But that
means co - ex
istence on - a
Cluilss McCann global scale.
and Nehru is a global thinker.
He does not relish the ' idea
that a Communist government
may be put in power next month
in the new Indian state of
Andhra. '
Nehru went down 'there, " on
the Bay of Bengal, in person last
week end to appeal to the vot
ers to keep hjs Congress Party
in office in the election .for a
state legislature which is to be
held Feb. 11. r:. 4
Issue in Doubt" v '.
. As of now,- -the ; issue is 1 in
doubt. Andhra ' was set up in
1953 as India's 29th state. It
has an area- of: 67,000 square
miles and a population of about
22,000,000. ; . . . - ;V::.;
Its people speak a distinct
language,' the musical Telugu
tongue. : Their history goes back
more than 2200 years to the time
when the kings of Andhra were
powerful. T in modern times
Andhra had been part of Madras
State. ,; ... -yv :
Andhra's birth was dramatic.
In 1950, when India became in
dependent, a years-long dream
of a revived Andhra State grip
ped the people. In 1952 their
leader, Potti Sriramalu, 51, went
on a hunger strike to focus at
tention on ' their demand for
statehood. : :; Sriramalu died of
starvation after 56 days. Wild
rioting broke out among the
grief stricken ' Andhra people.
Sixteen lives were lost."
' Nehru decided to set up a
State of Andhra.. The a?ea was
a fertile field for Communism.
It had just emerged from a ter
rible six-year drought . ..
Support Needed v
: Members of the Madras legis
lature from the area established
the Andhra state legislature. The
Congress Party hait a slight plur
ality ever the Communists in the
140 seat legislature, but depend
ed on the support of other parties
to keep in officer
Nehru himself is an anti-prohibitionist.
But his Congress Party
men in Andhra decided to im
pose - prohibition ; oh the : state.
Andhrans like their liquor. The
Communists ".maneuvered the
government into a vote on the

into power in the election which
resulted from his party's defeat.
He sent S. K. Patel, the Con

tegist, from Bombay to direct the
campaign. . .Then Nehru went
there himself. .

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS .
High drama:
At 3:0 o'clock the other morn
ing, the national assembly of . the
Republic of Panama was called
into special session, to hear a
prominent Panamanian : lawyer
confess that a couple of weeks
ago he murdered the president
of Panama.
He did it, he said, with a ma
chine gun.
And .
He added-
He did it with the full knowl
edge of the man who succeeded
to the presidency after the
killing. ;
yHY did he do it?
Well,- he . confessed, he had
been promised that the new re
gime would make him minister
of justice,' which is the most im
portant job in the Panamanian
cabinet "
GUIZADO, the man who had
succeeded to the presidency
when President Remon was mur
dered, listened to the confession.
He termed it a senseless tale,'
without a word of truth in it
The Panamanian assembly lis
tened to him, disbelieved him,
IMPEACHED him and ordered
his arrest and trial on a charge
of - plbtting the murder of his
predecessar. After that it swore
in the second vice-president Ri
cardo Arias Espinosa, as the new
president of Panama (Guizado
had been first vice-president)
, That makes the third presi
dent of the Republic of Panama
within a period of two weeks.
JiHAT'S BAD government :
When ' the people have bad
government, they have it pretty
rough. If you've ever been . in
Panama, you know that for 'the
common run of Panamanians
life is pretty rugged.
5 History teaches this lesson:
Whether the people have good
government or - bad government
depends pretty largely - on the
people' themselves. :; " : r "
H
ERE'S one from Texas:
In Houston a 22-year-old wom
ancarrying her 16-months-old
baby as well as a gun held up
a liquor store. The robbery .net
ted her $54. but she was arrested
shortly afterward while she was
trying to get her - husband out
of jail with the money. ' :
(Her husband, a partially dis
abled World War H veteran arid
unemployed for some time past,
is working, out a $50 fme.on the
Houston city farm. He got into
trouble for speeding on the city
streets and . driving : without an
operator's license.) - ;
The woman who . landed in
the city jail after her hold-up,
tells reporters: - -
- , "I didn't care what happened
to me. I didn't! think of myself ,
I thought only , of my husband
and baby". , . , -
fNE' can't help feeling sorry
v for the poor girl. ;
. But just feeling sorry for her
won't help her much.
What CAN one do to help in
cases like that? -
