(U.R) Too many carrots growing close to gether ere as bad as weeds when they fight each other for water, food, r and - light, according to John Schoenemann, vegetable crops specialist at the University of Wisconsin. Carrots up to six times as large as in unthinned rows can be grown by pulling all bue one seedling plant every inch or two along the row. ' ' Proper thinning is also very Important to other small seeded vegetables such as beets, celery, head lettuce, seed onions, par snips, ana raaisnes. Schoenemann says plants should be thinned soon after they come up. Leave two to three inches be tween single beet plants, and space celery plants six inches apart. Head lettuce needs 12-inch spacing, but three to four inches is enough for leaf lettuce. Thin onions to one plant every two to four inches, and leave three to four inches between parsnips.

Dentist May Face Accuser in Murder Of Pretty Patient Minneapolis (U.R) A dramat ic face-to-face showdown loomed today between Dr. A. Arnold Axilrod and. the man who first linked him to the murder of one of his pretty young patients. . . County Atty. George - Scott said he would call as a witness Dr. Glen Petersen,. personal phy sician of the slain Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Moonen, 21. Axilrod, a 50-year-old married dentist, is on trial on charges of strangling her after she threat ened to "tell the world" he made her pregnant. i:. It was Petersen who tipped po lice to the fact that Mrs. Moonen was pregnant last April, al though her soldier husband had been in Korea for nearly a year Dentist Denies Responsibility . He called police April 23 aft er hearing over the radio that Mrs. Moonen's body was found in the fashionable Lake of Isles district and told them Axilrod had denied responsibility for her pregnancy. Detectives then went to Axil rod's office above a nightclub, where he denied romancing the slain woman but admitted she had accused him of causing her condition. Today's expected showdown followed the failure of a defense bid to collapse the stat'es entire case with one fell swoop. Defense attorney Sidney Goff had filed a motiqn to strike from the record the testimony of Dr. Erling Brauti, 29-year-old assist ant autopsy surgeon. Dr. John I. Coe, senior ' pathologist at the autopsy is ill and unable to tes tify. , . Goff, who had subjected Br-au-ti to stinging cross-examination, said the young surgeon admitted he studied pathology1 for only four months and that, in effect, he didn't know what he was talk ing about when he testified Mrs. Moonen was killed by manual strangulation. If the defense motion had suc ceeded, the state's case would have been hopeless because of a lack of testimony on the cause of death. . But Judge Leslie L. Anderson denied the motion, saying "I think Dr. Brauti has indicated sufficient background to regard him as an expert witness." Earlier, Pfc. Mathia Moonen, 25, the slain woman's husband, took the witness stand for the first time and glared with hatred at Axilrod. . Axilrod stared back with calm curiosity, the same expression he has maintained throughout the trial. , Moonen's look changed to tears when he looked at two pictures of his wife's body and testified in a low voice, "That was my wife." Moonen said his wife visited him at Fort Riley, Kan., in April, 1954, before he left for Korea. She moved to Minneapolis that year. The next time he saw her, he said, was at her funeral.
