The opposition to Dulles is partly on the ground that he is one of Wall Street's most prominent lawyers, partly because of the disastrous role Dulles played in selling the Ameri-ca-public on the now defaulted German bonds prior to 1938 when leading American economists were warning that they would be worth-less paper. One high-u- p Republican who re-cently cautioned Dewey about Dulles was Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.), chairman of the powerful senate appropriations committee. Bridges raised a new objection, namely Dulles' recommendation of Alger Hiss, alleged Communist, to be chairman of the Carnegie Peace Foundation. .The directors of the foundation, Bridges recalled, were lukewarm about Hiss but were pressured into the appointment by Dulles. "Yes, he did make a mistake on that one," admitted Dewey. "And he's made too many mis-takes," urged Senator Bridges. "He made a terrible mistake regarding the Nazis. We just can't afford to have a man as secretary of state who makes mistakes. The problem of peace is too delicate." Bridges also reminded Dewey that Dulles might have difficulty in be-ing confirmed by the senate. "We hope to give you a real ma-jority in the senate in November," the New Hampshire senator ex-plained. "But we may be darn lucky to keep what we've got. If so, and if only two or three Re-publicans oppose Dulles, then the Democrats will jump in en masse to fight his confirmation. They'll love it." Dewey countered that Foreign Minister Molotov liked Dulles, and that ironing out our Russian prob-lems was all important." "Hefs the only man in Ameri-ca who can get along with Molo-tov," Dewey told Bridges. "And, I suppose," quipped Bridges, "that Molotov is a good Republican and wants us to win in November." In Praise of Bradley If war should come to beleaguered Berlin, the men at the top of the U. S. army today are among the most competent, human, and civilian-mi-nded that this newsman has seen around the war department in many a year. This appraisal, by the way, comes from a long-tim- e and vigorous critic of the brass hats. Eesponsible for this new deal around the Pentagon building are General Eisenhower and his successor, modest Omar Brad-ley. It is important for the American public to know that when the dare-devil boys of the air forces and the men of the navy gather at joint chiefs of staff meet-ings, there is always present one calm conscience who never forgets the 300,000 G.I.s buried under white crosses from Guadalcanal to Sicily. Take off his uniform and Omar Bradley looks like a college profes-sor. He is quiet, gracious, gener-ous, good natured and basically a very plain person. Everybody who ever worked with Bradley remarks on his simplicity. His mess ser-geant in France had orders never to use Bradley's name to wangle food for headquarters. Once during the historic landing at Normandy, Bradley, then a three-sta- r general, took off his fleece-line- jacket and handed it to a shivering corporal. "Here, son," he said. "It will be easier for me to get another than it will be for you." Spunky Mr. Truman Spunky Harry Truman isn't being discouraged by the Roper poll which concedes him no chance to win. Talking to the District of Columbia Truman-Barkle- y committee the oth-er day, he declared: "We won't lose this campaign for lack of hard work. I intend to make more public appearances and wage the most strenuous campaign any attempted. I m president has ever not only going to make radio appeals to the man in the street-I- 'm going to rub shoulders with him. His chief worry, the P""31 of a confided, was the possibility light vote. "We'll need a heavy vote and it if I nave I'm going out to get the Presi-dent to punch doorbells," said. "H every Demo-cratic precinct committeeman throughout the country operates we'll be all on that theory, right." That even goes for the District of told his D. C.

These roots need oxygen to grow and reach out for water plant nutrients. To breathe deeply, soils must have regular additions of organic matter. Without organic matter soils tighten up. Soil particles are jammed together. The soil becomes a compacted mass. There is little room for either air or water. Roots find it hard to forage in the tight soil. When organic matter is added, it opens the soil for air and water to soak in deeply. As it rots the organic matter builds soil struc-ture. The humus formed from or-ganic matter swells and shrinks with wetting and drying. Com-pounds that form when organic matter decays help to stick these mineral particles together in small groups so that the soil is loose and workable. Organic matter should be added deep in the soil as well as in the plow layer. Middle West Soil Im-provement committee points out that the best way to drive organic matter down deep is through use of d legumes, such as al- - fatfa or sweet clover, regularly in the rotation. The roots of these legumes drill down 18 to 25 inches below the plow layer. Heavy stands of legumes also can be secured by liming according to soil tests, and by making sure soils are well stocked with phos-phate and potash for full produc-tion. When a good top growth is plowed under to go with the roots, these legumes will build the struc-ture tilth soil needs for high yields. , ; "K til?'- w - ORIGINAL WAF . . .

On the theory that knowledge is power, the Aloys Daack family of State Center, Iowa, shifted into high gear and went off to college together. Mother, Dad and Jim Daack enrolled in a body at Carthage college, Carthage, 111., for a family fling at higher education. Mother and son are freshmen, and the father, a navy veteran, is a junior. Moved by an ambition to become a doctor, Aloys is taking a course. Here, the trio is waiting for their German class to begin. FIRST ABDto the AILING HOUSE X by Roger C. Whitman QUESTION: How can I clean the coils of my hot water heater, which we use in connection with our hot water plant? The heater has not been giving good results for some time, and I have been told, that the coils are probably-clogged- ANSWER: Hydrochloric (muri-atic) acid has been used by some plumbers to dissolve the deposit in copper coils, but this is a high-ly corrosive chemical and should not be handled carelessly by an inexperienced person. There may-be a plumber in your neighbor-hood who could do the cleaning for you. A safer method would be to tap the coil carefully with a wooden mallet. Do not strike the coil with hard blows. Then flush out the coil with a garden hose. QUESTION: Is there any way to remove a silver nitrate stain from a white sink? ANSWER: Moisten with iodine, rinse with clear water, then apply a solution of photographic hypo, one tablespoonful in a pint of water. i j . ' ' I I ; ' , ; I ' " v j ' i i j " ' I 6 1 TONSILS . . .

One-Whe- el Power Unit The power unit, designed by Carl-ton M. Edwards, Cornell university, for Lincoln Arc Welding foundation, can be used to drive numerous front mounted garden tools, farm tools, lawn mowers or snow blades. A cultivator tool bar can be attached across the rear of the frame. Cast-er wheels on each end of the tool bar will adjust depth and give three points on the ground for balance. All welding on this unit can be done with a 316-inc- h diameter elec-trode, using approximately 180 am-peres welding current. ' fj'i J - s I mmmmmmmsmmmmm. ? lilllllllllllB PARASITE IN FLIGHT . . .

Blackhead of tur.keys causes heavy losses. Phenothiazine pow-der mixed in the mash at the rate of one ounce daily for 100 birds, has been found effective in preventing losses, because it destroys cecal worms which are carriers of the blackhead organisms. To make lambs tick proof, spray them with DDT. Mix one pound of a 50 per cent wettable DDT pow-der in 25 gallons of water and apply it to the back, belly, sides and around neck and ears. One appli-cation should last for two or three weeks. Two essentials for livestock and poultry in late summer are shade and water. - ' i v f SLUGGER . . .
