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.

Body Found to
Be Capable of
Fighting Tumors
Louisville, 'Ky., (Science
Service) - The body appears
capable of producing some re
sistance to tumors, but the
exact manner in which this
is done eludes scientists, an
authority said here today.
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.
