Germans Protesting Marlene Dietrich's Slated Appearances Hamburg, Germany - IIIPli Marlene Dietrich, the German actress whose support of the Allied cause in World War II won her the French "Croix at uuerre" and friends al most everywhere outside Ger many, soon will perform in Germany for the first time in 30 years. She is scheduled to appear at least twice-in Berlin April 30 and Hamburg May 7. But already Germans, ac cusing the blonde grandmoth er with the husky voice of being anti-German, are firing off angry letters to her Ham burg manager protesting her return. Said Kurt Collien, Ham burg concert agent who ar ranged Miss Dietrich's come back in the country she left when the Nazis fought for power: "An increasing number of letters come in protesting Miss Dietrich's return. "Her ' appearance in Ger many, no doubt, will stir up a controversy." One of the letters protest ing Miss Dietrich s i-eturn said in part, "She's coming back now to earn hard Ger man marks," the manager said. West Germany's largest Sunday newspaper "Bild Am Sonntag" listed seven points in a two-page article discus sing what it called the fav orable and unfavorable as pects. The newspaper listed as "favorable" that Miss Diet rich, daughter of a Prussian army officer, left Germany purely for her political con victions. It said Miss Dietrich "did not, like others, announce her despisal of the Hitler regime from Hollywood, but donned a uniform and performed be fore Allied troops. She dared to go even into the most for ward front lines and almost was captured in 1944 in Lux emburg." The paper listed as unfav orable Miss Dietrich's record after the war. It said, "While her actions can be under stood during the Hitler re gime and especially during the war, it is Incomprehensi ble why she refused to chance her mind after the war. In. stead of making a difference between Nazis and non-Nazis, M a rl e n e, until recently. oiameo tne entire German people for the atrocities of the Hitler Reich." On the other hand, the pa' per said, miss Dietrich re peatedly showed that her ut terances were not her inner most conviction. German artists, said the paper, particularly actress Hildegarde Neff, received un selfish help from Miss Diet rich in Hollywood. It said, "If her actions are weighed against each other a confusing, but nevertheless human picture of a woman appears. It shows here ... as real German, honest, but po litically confused, radical but sentimental, intelligent, ' but thoughtless."

Health, Vigor of Plants Is Measure for Ability Corvallis - The health and vigor of the plants grown in your yard are a measure of your gardening ability. And the place to start in keeping plants healthy is with the soil, says an Oregon State college landscape architect. Before planting any shrubs or trees or seeding new lawn, the soil should be worked to a depth equal to or greater than the root systems, according to George Fredeen. This means at least 6 inches deep for lawns, 18 inches for shrubs, and 2 feet for trees. Fertility of the soil can, and in most cases should, be im proved by addition of ma nures, straw, compost, saw dust, peat moss, or leaves. These organic materials pro vide food for the soil micro organisms, increase the water holding capacity of the soil, and stumulate plant root de velopment, Fredeen explain ed. The plants, in turn, re spond by good strong, vigor ous growth and with an in creased immunity toward cer tain diseases. Commercial Fertilizers At times, it may be advis able to add some commercial fertilizers to the organic mat ter, the landscape architect noted. These add supplemental food for the plants and are usually good to help break down some organic matter. They also restore certain ele ments to the soil which huve been depleted through the breakdown of organic com pounds into plant food. The three main elements in fertilizers are the key to which elements and how much of each to use, Fredeen said. Ni trogen, in amounts from 1 to 35 per cent, is the chief growth promoter, makes green leaves, and tender grass. It is also the part of fertilizers that burns leaves and lawns alike if im properly handled. Phosphorus is the element used to promote root develop ment and stimulate flowers, fruits, and seed development. Super Phosphate used on flow er beds will bring startling re sults from increased size of blooms. Potassium, the third main element, provides general vig or to the plant. Most plants used in home landscaping thrive in slightly acid soils. The acid pH level in soil reaction is instrumental in growing plants such as rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, Kalmia and heathers. More acid-loving plants are found in regions of heavy rain fall than in drier areas where alkaline-tolerating plants such as junipers and pines thrive. You, can alter the soil pH, Fredeen pointed out, by add- percentajse of nitrogen. To lime, particular delight to ing acid-type fertilizer with a neutralize the soil pH, use I lilacs, roses and some peren moderate to high available wood ashes or agricultural I nials.

There is little doubt that Immunological responses to human tumors do occur, Dr. George E. Moore of Roswell Park Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., told science writers attending a seminar here sponsored by the American Cancer Society. On the subject of cancer im munity, Dr. Moore said ob servations of many different cases of cancer support the view that some humans are capable, for as yet unknown reasons, of resisting their own cancer growths. He cited the following examples: 1. There are a few cases where the tumors stopped growing or even disappeared without benefit of treatment. 2. Many patients have sur vived for a long period de spile Incomplete removal of their malignancy. 3. Numerous tumors have spread to other parts of the body after the original tumor was successfully treated, but they appeared many years later. Scientists suspect that these newly spread tumors gained their foothold only when some natural defense mechanism broke down. 4. Thousands of tumor cells spill into the blood stream and lymphatic system but each of these cells does not result in another new tumor. 5. Antibodies that attack tumors have been found in a small number of Cancer cases. Should Be Possible 6. Very few patients have been able to accept trans plant of their own tumor tis sue to another place on the body, which should normally be possible unless some un known is fighting this switch. Abnormal cells in the hu man may be produced by a wide variety of chemical and physical agents such as X-rays, abnormal nutrition and possible viruses, all of i which can result in cancer. Tumors may range from those that are capable of sur viving only because their cells are much like their neighboring normal cells to those that are radically dif ferent from normal cells. These can grow so rapidly that they are able to survive de spite any natural resistance the body can muster against them. Any vaccine that might be developed in the near future would probably control only the rapidly growing tumors, Dr. Moore predicted. FARM EXPORTS LOWER Washington- ll'PIl -U.
