FUTURE DANGERS SEEN
IN FLIERS “RANSOM"
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—(AP)
Responsible officials conceded to
day there are dangers for the fu
ture in the U. S. decision to pay
the $120,000 in fines levied by
Communist Hungary against four
American airmen.
At the same time these authori
tics asserted there were compelling
reasons for the decision and that in
terms of propaganda the result will
not necessarily be entirely adverse
to the United States.
The wayv anpeared clear for re
lease of the four fliers sometime
today. This government, after
poadering the issue for several
days, agreed to pay the fines.
A snckesman for the Hungarian
Legation here told newsmen the
Edapest government had accept
ed the offer. A snckesman, Ma- |
¢ome Zsuzsanpa Szucs, said re- |
l22se of the four men “cannot be
exnccted before Thursday” be
cause of a three-day Christmas |
holiday in Hungary. There were |
&isns they might be freed in Vi- |
erna. |
Hunszary has held the U. S. air- |
men since Nov. 19 as violators of |
her border. A Communist court |
had decreed they each would have |
t> spend three months in jail isl
the fines were not paid. The Hun
garian action was widely do-l
nounced here as international |
blackmail and the {fines were‘
termed a ransom. |
Dangers Cited |
On the negative side -of the U.]
€. decision to pay the fines these |
dangers or disadvantages were!
no‘ed:
1. The Communist leadership
can and undoubtedly will exploit
the U. S. decisicn in Europe and
elsewhere as an evidence of
A merican weakness, and also as
evidence that the airmen were
guilty. The four, Air Force men
on an official mission, were
charged with having deliberately
violated the borders of Hungary
to discharge spies. The U. S.’in
sisted they lost their way on a
flight to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and
that the spy charge was baseless.
2. Aside from propagandizing,
the Kremlin may be led to think
there is a lack of determination
in Washington in handling such
matters and may be encouraged to
run greater risks in the future in
dealing with the U. S. and its eiti
zens.
3. The Hungarian incident may
lead to a series of similar irrita
ting actions involving greater sums
of money and more people—either
members of the armed forces, dip
lomats or private citizens. This
danger is seen as most likely to
materialize if the Communists de
cide they have hit upon a way of
getting money out of the U. S.
Positive Side
On the positive side of the de
cision to pay the $30,000 fine as
sessed against each of the four,
oézia!s said there were these
considerations:
1. Payment appeared to be the
only way open to assure the
prompt release and therefore the
safety of the airmen. Courts be~
hind the Iron Curtain can raise as
well as lower sentences already
imposed. It was feared here that
if the men served the three months
imposed as alternates to paying
the fines they still might not be
set free when those sentences ran
out.
2. The decision can be used by
the U. S. and its friends in Europe
as proof of American patience and
Testraint in dealing with Com
munist provocation. This is con-
Seed Treatments Reduce
Losses From Cereal Diseases
Control es cereal diseases should
increase crop yields and quality of
both grain and forage. Many cereal
diseases are seed-borne and can be
controlled by chemical seed treat
ments. The fungicides now used
are either (1) mercurials, mostly
organic; (2) copper and zinc inor
ganic materials; and (3) non-mer
curial organi¢ compounds.
Fungicides may be applied (1) as
solutions in which the seed is soaked
for a period and then dried; or (2)
as mt rates from %2 to 3 ounces
per el; or (3) in the form of a
thick, soup-like “‘siurry” which
coats the seed with the fungicide;
or (#) in the form of a volatile
concentrate applied by special ma
chines.
Organic mercurials have proved
more effective in cereal seed treat
ment than any other class of fungi
cide, according to R. W. Leukel,
cereal pathologist, U.S.D.A. “Cere
san’’ was the first organic mercurial
to be used widely for cereal seed
treatment, but it was soon replaced
by ‘“New Improved Ceresan,”’
which is in turn now being replaced
by *‘Ceresan M,"" because the latter
is less objectionable and can be ap-
plied as a slurry.
“Panogen,”’ introduced from
Sweden, has been found effective
for seed-borne diseases of barley,
oats, wheat, flax and sorghum. Ap
plied in concentrated liquid form,
usually as a spray in a special ma
chine, the dust hazard is eliminated |
so that no'mnsk is necessary.
Among the other organic mercu
rials, ‘Leytosan’” has been found
less effective than the ‘‘Ceresans,”
and ‘“‘Parson’s Seed Saver Dust”
has been found generally to be in
ferior to standard cereal-seed freat
ments.
A number of organic non-mercu
rials have been found eifective for
treating seed of corn, rice, sorghum,
flax, and vegetables, but in general
are not recommended for wheat,
oats, and barley. Among these are
“Arasan,” ‘‘Arasan 8.F.” ‘Sper
gon,” *“Phygon,”’ and “‘Dow 9B."” |
The seed-borne diseases of small
grains listed by Leukel as amenable
to control by seed treatment are:
for barley—covered smut, black or
talse loose smut, stripe disease,
the seedling-blight stages of an
thracnose, bacterial blight, spot
blotch and scab; for oats—mostly
loose and covered smuts, but treat
ment also reduced losses from seed
wborne bacterial blights and some
other diseases; for wheat—stinking
smut or bunt, and slso seed-borne
flag smut, anthracnose and seed
sidered important because a large
segmnt of population in Western
Europe is reportedly fearful of
rash Washington action which
miht cause war,
3. The decision shows that the
U. S. stands behind members of
the armed forces in such a situa
tion as that created by Hungary.
Authorities believe this is impor=-
tant for the morale of forces serv
ing in positions where they might
fall into Communist hands.
Authorities reported that the
decision to pay the fines was
reached in consultation among the
State Department, Defense De
partment and White House. They
sdid defense officials favored pay
ment, apparently feeling that the
U. S. should act promptly tc get
uniform personnel released at the
earliest possible moment.

Cpl. Moon, colored veteran of
10-and-a-half months service in

the Second Infantry Division,
landed in San Francisco, Calif.,

ling blight.
The most effective fungicides for
barley and oats are ‘‘New Im
proved Ceresan,” ‘‘Ceresan M,”
and “Panogen.’”’ These are equally
effective for bunt in wheat, but this
disease can also be controlled by a
number of other materials such as
copper carbonate, basic copper sul
phate, “*Arasan,’” “‘Spergon,” ‘‘Phy
gon,” sulphur, and ‘‘Anticarie.”
The only diseases of corn that are
prevented by seed treatments are
seed rot and seedling blight. Treat
ed seed, however, frequently pro
duces stronger and more vigorous
plants. The materials now recoms
mended for treating seed corn are
“‘Arasan,’” ‘‘Spergon,” and ‘Phy
gpp." all qf which may be applied
either in dust or slurry form.
Sorghum seed is treated largely
to combat seed-rot and seedling
blight, but the kernel smuts and
transmission of seed-borne anthrac
nose and bacterial leaf diseases are
also prevented by treatment. ‘‘Ara
san’’ and ‘“‘Phygon’ are especially
beneficial, but with varieties like
Leoti with persistent glumes ‘‘Cere
san M"” or ‘‘Panogen’” should be
used, if the kernel smuts are pres
ent.
Equipment for treating seed with
chemical dusts ranges from small
homemade rotating - barrel and
gravity mixers to large commer
cial outfits ranging in capacity from
100 to 500 bushels per hour. The
latter are usually combined with
seed-cleaning equipment so that
both processes can be done in one
continuous operation. The slurry
treaters on the market are of large
capacity and are generally too ex
pensive for the average farm. Their
use is confined largely to seed
houses, elevators and cooperative
treating centers.
Leukel finally cautions all per
sons handling fungicides to bear in
mind that they are poisonous, that
dust or fumes should not be inhaled,
that the fungicides should not tcuch
the skin, and that treated seed
should not be used for feed or food.
Research workers in commercial
laboratories and in Federal and
State experiment stations are con
tinuaily testing new fungicidal ma
terials in an effort to produce bet
ter, safer and more effective fungi
| cides for the control of plant dis
eases. A number of promising ma
terials have been tested during the
| past year, and some of these may
| prove to be superior to fungicides
| now on the market. However, they
| are still in the experimental stage
.| and require additional testing.

much about the Navy's “war,” but, as the picture above proves, the Navy is still very much on the
scene, This is an unidentified U. S. destroyer fighting heavy seas while irying to get close enough

RISING COST
"Consumer Got If In The Neck
In 1951 And 193] No Beffer”
By SAM DAWSON
AP Newsfeatures
NEW YORK — The consumer
took it in the neck in 1951-—the
cost of living rising throughout
the year. And he enters 1952
with the price of many manu
factured items, such as . autos,
still rising.
But the worst may be over, the
experts: tell the consumer, and
1952 should see more stable
prices, plenty of most things to
eat and wear, and full paychecks
for even more people than in 1951,
which was a year of less than
average employment. The experts,
of vcourse, have their fingers
crossed on the two unknown
quantities: war or peace?
How the consumer will react to
still higher prices has a lot of
people worried. If the price of
steel goes up, for example, and
manufactuers of cars, appliances
and other goods made of metal try
to pass the extra cost along to the
consumer, can they sell their
goods?
The consumer took the first
waves of post-Korean price in
creases, and even rushed out to
buy-thereby sending prices still
higher. But by late spring of 1951
he stopped buying much except
necessities. Merchants found
themselves weighed down by
heavy inventories. According to
federal figures on personal income,
the consumer had more money
than ever, but he wasn't spending
as much, and was saving more.
Merchants found that to move
some of their goods they had
to tempt customers with prices
cut back to near pre-Korean
levels. Faced with price resist
lance by consumers, retailers
stopped ordering from their
suppliers. The raw materials from
Iwhich clothing and groceries are
1 .ade dropped in price.
By the end of the year prices in
raw materials were recovering
part of this drop. And retail prices
of many staples were firmer. But
stores were well stocked with
almost every type of goods. -
Food supplies should be plenti
ful in 1952—given average weather
conditions. The government is
is urging farmers to grow even
more in 1952 than they did in
bountiful 1951. Food prices should
be more stable in the coming year.
MEAT, the consumer’s big
bugaboo in 1951, should come to
the buther in larger volume.
Meat prices could ease a little,
but few hope for much relief.
CLOTHING prices will be
held down by competition. Con
sumers learned in 1951 that the
clothing industry could make all
that was needed by both the
military and the civilian popula
tion. Competition will lead cloth
ing makers to offer customers,
more in quality and style. Syn
thetic fibers, and blends of syn
thetic and natural fibers, are
expected to play an even larger
part in outfitting both men and
women. G .
SHOE prices will be lower in
the spring. The industry has
plenty of capacity to supply mili
tary demands and make all the
shoes civilians want. Easing
leather prices are being passed
z;long in price cuts on the spring
ine.
Housing Problem
HOUSING will be a problem in
some communities where defense
plants are mushrooming. But the
building industry, which had its
second biggest year in 1951, will
try hard. to find the scarce metals
needed to build more than the
800,000 homes which the govern
ment thinks will be plenty.
A greater proportion of the new
homes are likely to be in the
lower-priced field than in 1952,
home-financing agencies predict,
Federal crubs on mortagages won't
stop many people from building
homes—curbs on use of scarce
materials may.
RENTS are expected to continue
their siow rise, on a national
basis, reflecting the higher
building costs of newer dwellings.
CARS may go up in price in
1952-partly because of higher
costs of porduction partly be
cause fewer will be made and
the supply may become tight late
in the year. .
The auto industry is divided as
to whether the four million cars
the government has set as a quota
for 1952 will be enough. Some
think that will be about right for
replacement. Others think they
could sell five million if allowed
to make them, The 1952 new
models may be the last for a
time, as the government is frown
ing on model changes that re-

Tires Plentiful
TIRES will be plentiful, and
probably lower-priced lines will
make an appearance, the industry
predicts. The government is drop~
ping its curbs on the output of
tires because synthetic and nat
ural rubber are both in good
supply.
Drivers probably won’t have to
worry about any shortage in gaso
line, although lower octane ratings
are likely as the expanding air
force soaks up most of materials
for making higher octane gas.
Consumers will find aplentiful
supply of household appliances.
Big production since the war has
whittled down much of the de
mand, and the building of fewer
homes in 1952 will cut down
demand for new gadgets still
further. Most in the industry
think that in spite of the curbs
on use of scarce metals they’ll
turn out enough appliances—con
sidering present high inventories
—to meet customer demands at
least until late in the year.
Ample Supplies g
Householders and industrialists
alike should have fairly ample
supplies of fuel and power de
fense production needs, and bad
breaks in the weather, could
cause temporary spot shortages.
But the expanding oil, natural
gas and electric industries be
lieve they can keep abreast of
demand. Coal faclities are ade
quate both for domestic and
foreign needs.

Louisiana White Clover—Dallis Grass—Bermuda Grass Pasture.
White clover is probably more
generally used as a legume for per
manent pastures throughout the
Southeastern States than any other
crop. It is compatible with all pas
ture grasses, grows well in so many
places and has so many good points
that it is really the most important
pasture legume for that area.
No other clover fits so well into a
permanent pasture mixture in the
Southeastern States as white clover.
Although not best suited to light,
droughty soils, it will grow in nearly
all parts of the Southeast and on
many soil types. It-normally grows
there as a perennial, but in the
more southern portion or under
poor growing conditions may be
have as an annual. It spreads either
by seed or by rooting at the nodes
of the runners.
White clover provides grazing
over a longer period than other
clovers under most permanent pas
ture conditions. It mingles freely
with all common pasture grasses
and spreads naturally on soils
adapted to its growth. It begins
growing with the first fall rains and
provides grazing until retarded by
freezing weather. It resumes
growth in early spring, grows well
in partial shade where moisture is
plentiful even in mid-summer tem
peratures. Like other pasture leg
umes white clover is rarely grown
alone when used primarily for
grazing, because of the superiority
of the grass-legume combination
over either grown alone and also
because of the greater likelihood of
bloat in cattle from feeding on pure
clover,
The danger of bloat can be great
ly lessened by keeping the clover
grazed down to a reasonable degree
so that it takes a longer time for
the animal to fill its stomach. It is
generally considered that bloat re
sulis from a too rapid 6l of the
production industries expanding.
Government seers hopes the worst
of the layoffs in civilian indus
tries will be over by midyear. Near
the end of 1951 there were nearly
61% million people working, and
less than two million looking for
work. More people are expected to
be drawn into the labor force in
1952 to man defense plants.
PAYCHECKS will feel the pinch
of the tax collector in 1952 more
than in 1951, reflecting the tax
hike that came late in the year.
But wages in industry seem set
for another round of increases.
The money that consumers have
left over after taxes should be
larger in 1952. Higher wage rates,
more overtime, more jobs, higher
interest rates and fairly satis
factory totals of dividened pay
ments, all will help swell the
total of disposable personal in
come.
But even with more money in
their pockets, consumers will
probably go right on wonder
ing where it all goes to.

orchardgrass, or.any other spring
grass with the clover, will go a long
way in preventing bloat. \
There are three general types of
white clover — large, intermediate,
and small—and there is a wide vari
ation within each. The large and in
termediate are both useful in the
Southeast but the small type is not
desirable for pasture. Ladino clover
is the large type used and is well
adapted to most of “the northern
part of this area, as is also the
Louisiana White which is of the in
termediate type. Within a belt ex.
tending some 100 miles or more
from the Gulf Coast, Ladino clover
does not bloom as freely as it does
farther north, and is not so well
adapted as the Louisiana White.
Both of these strains, however, are
outstanding pasture clovers of the
Southeastern States.
Some of the grasses used in com
bination with white clover are Dal
lisgrass, Bermuda - grass, smooth
bromegrass, ryegrass, Ky. 31 fes
cue, and orchardgrass. One acre of
good clover-grass combination will
furnish grazing for three animals in
April, May and June, and some
grazing during the summer and fall

Department Of Commerce’s Highest
Honor Bestowed On Delos Rentzel
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secre
tary of Commerce Charles Sawyer,
last week awarded,the Department
of Commerce’s highest honor-—a
gold medal for exceptional service
—too Delos W. Rentzel, who re
cently retired as Under Secretary
of Commerce for Transportation.
The medal was awarded “for his
outstanding leadership in, and
contributions to, the field of trans
portation.”
Detailing Mr. Rentzel’s accom
plishments, Secretary Sawyer said
he was prompted to make the
award “because of Mr. Rentzel's
consistent record of contributions
to transportation since he joined
the government in 1948.”
Mr. Rentzel was credited for his
work as Under Secretary when, in
cooperation with the Maritime
Administration and the Defense
Department he helped bring about
a mobilization program for ship
ping and when, in cooperation
with the Defense Depariment, the
Civil Aeronautics Board, and the
Civil Aeronautics Administration,
he helped complete a civil aviation
mobilization plan.
The citation accompanying the
award also listed Mr. Rentzel’s ac
