ETHIOPIANS LIKE TO KISS
CAIRO — (AP)—Ethiopians are
the world’s greatest kissers. This
is the conclusion of an observer
who recently visited Ethiopia.
Men and women, meeting on the
streets, kiss one another three
times on the right and left cheeks.
There is much mouth kissing, too.
Kissing of walls around church
es, and even the pavement and
ground in front of churches, is
widely practiced. Foreign doctors
frown on these common kissing
habits, warning that they can fur
ther spread syphilis, which al
ready is widspread in Ethiopia.
IRAN EXPORTS SAG
TEHRAN —(AP) — Iran’s im
ports were almost double her ex
ports for the year ending March
21. Imports amounted to $219,000
while exports reached $134,000
This adverse balance of trade
was aggravated by the fact that
Iran’s usual oil income virtually
disappeared as a result of nation=-
alization.

TOKYO TOPIC is the rioting of Korean residents, many of whom
have been smuggled into Japan. This is the scene during a three
hour brawl of Koreans and police near a Korean high school in
Tokyo.
Communist-Inspired Koreans Are
Sparks Behind Japanese Riofing
By ELENOR SPALDING
NEA Speacial Correspondent
TOKYO—Thousands of Korean
residents in Japan are serving as
shock troops in a Communist drive
to harass the Japanese police, an
noy the Security Forces, discredit
the United Nations Command, em
barrass the Republic of Korea and
make trouble for the government
of Premier Shigeru Yoshida.
Japanese police have arrested
93 Koreans as a result of the Com
munist riot here on May Day, and
they are lookinging for more.
Koreans sparked the riot on May
31 in which which two persons
were killed. Japenese newspapers
daily carry such headlines as:
“Korean extremists clash with
police.”
“Korean students tussle with
Diet guards.”
“Korean mob attacks tax of
fice.” /
" Behind the headlines is a story
of intrigue, smuggling of dope and
humans, official mismanagement,
snarled diplomacy and interna
tional Communism. ;
At least half of more than 600,-
000 Koreans in Japan are believed

DON'T change piaces in & boat this way! DON'T eat just before swimming!
DON'TS THAT DO SAVE LIVES—Last year 6100 persons lost their lives by falling to observe
simple safety “don’ts,” according to Red Cross water safety experts, Pictured above are five of the
most commonly flouted safety rules. At upper left: oarsman should make sure his hands are iree
before entering boat, should step in center of boat (not on seat), and should have one passenger
seated in bow of boat; at center: pair risk cracked skulls with horseplay at concrete pool's edge; at
lower left, oars pre adrift, everyone is moving at once and standing too high and no one is holding
on to boat's sides; and at lower right: a swimmer, who did not wait for two hours after eating
before entering water, risks severe cramps. ~
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Convention. A total of 604 votes is needed for the nomination.
pro-Communist, Japanese authori
ties say there are only 1000 card
holding Comunists among them,
but that 70 per cent favor North
Korea in the war. A spokesman
for the Republic of Korea insisted
that there are only “a handful”
of Korean Comunists here. Other
South Koreans, however, estimat
ed that 100,000 are actively sup
porting the Communists.
The majority of Korean resi
dents in Japan are workers who
came here before World War II
|’ because they could not earn a liv
ing in Korea. During the war, the
’ Japanese brought thousands more
tq, work in munitions plants.
l Not one in a thousand Koreans
i could obtain Japanese citizenship.
{ When the war ended, they formed
the Korean League, then a non-
Comunist organization. Before
the Kcrean war began. Commu-~
l nists gained control of the League,
and occupation authorities” ord
ered it abolished.
Since then, the Korean Comun
ists have produced two new heads
—_the Korean People’s Front and
the Korean National Defense
l Committee. Both are illegal, and
the Defense Committee is operat-
ing entirely underground, organ
ized for an offensive. Its Molotov
Cocktails have blasted police sta
tions. Dynamite, guns and swords
have turned up in police raids on
its strongholds.
In contrast to Cdmmunist move
sments elsewhere, no single, out-"
standing leader has come to the
fore. Japanese mention Kim Yung
for the People’s Front and Jung
Hong Ku for the Defense Commit
tee. Both have gone underground.
Both are long-time residents of
Japan rather than newcomers
trained by the North Koreans.
Japanese authorities are con
vinced that Chinese Comunists
are masterminding Korean dis
turbances, and that Koreans are
entering Japan through the Brit
ish port of Hong Kong, and from
the Chinese Red port of Tientsin.
But there is little they can
prove. The Sea of Japan is full
of fishing boats. It is easy to land
at night and disappear into the
mountains. The Japanese are
counting on a big, new supply of
Coast Guard ships from the
United States. Meanwhile, they
can not adequately patrol the
coastline.
Each month the Japanese are
arresting from 300 to 500 Kore
ans as illegal entrants. Most of
them are caught down around the
island of Tsushima, half way be
tween Pusan and the Japanese
mainland. About 25 per cent of
them are wives and children of
Koreans legally in Japan. Many
more are plain war refugees.
The spokesman for the Repub
lic of Korean pointed out it was
dificult for him to discuss the
problem in view of the fact that
Japan and the Republic of Korea
are currently negotiating on the
question of repatriation.
In May, Japan repatriated 410
Koreans. The Republic of Korea
refused o accept 125 of them on
the ground that they were legal
residents of Japan. All had been
convicted* of crimes. The Japa
nese contend that they have the
same right the United States ex
ercises to expel undersirable
aliens.
Meanwhile, Korean Commun
ists have responded to threats
of forceful repatriation with more
violent demonstrations. Japanese
cite this as evidence that they are
living better than they ever did
or could in Korea.
Non-Communist South Koreans
simply remark that Communists
know they would face trouble in
South Korea. Hatred of Japanese
authority, inspired during the war,
has induced many a poor Korean
to join Comunist activities, they
say.
There are two major obstacles
to overcoming the communist in
fluence, both Japanese and South
Koreans agree. One is growing
dissatisfaction with the Govern
ment of Syngman Rhee. The other
is the theory that, since United

her by President Vincent Auriol,
of France. The blind and deaf

Musicians In
India Creaie
Own Variafions
Imagine a Beethoven sonata in
which the soloist, after having
stated the opeing musical theme,
were suddenly to embark on his
own variation! Such an action
would certainly be denounced as
a piece of outrageous impudence,
for the Western concert artisy is
an interpreter and not primarily
a creator in the eompositional
sense,
The concert musician of India,
on the other hand, not ¢nly must
be an interpreter, he must be a
creator, and he must be these at
the same time, Such an exacting
role demands as many years, if
not more, of study as this West
ern counterpart puts in.
An old Indian legend illustrat
ing the high and exacting stand
ards to which a 'musician must
submit relates how a certain mus
ician who thought he knew ev
erything there was to know about
music, suddenly was transported
to the abode of the gods. There
he saw numerous men and women
weeping over their broken limbs.
When he inquired how this came
about, they replied that they were
the spirits of the music he had
performed unskillfully and reck
lessly. Carelessness and ignorance
have as little place in Indian mus
ic as in the music of the West.
Indian vocal music is generally
solo, frequently accompanied by
the table a pair of drums beaten
with hands, whereas Indian in
strumental music is generally
played in ensemble with frequent
instrumental solo intervals. The
line of music is purely melodic
with no harmony as understood in
the West. But within this melodic
line is achieved an unusual var
iety and color, for besides the
whole and half tones of the West,
the Indian musician makes use of
quarter ' tones and other subtle
shadings with which to weave his
melodies.
Melodies Called Paga
There melodies are called Ragas.
A Raga, however is no so
much melody or a mode
as it is “an atmosphere, a
a musical coloring . . . associated
with a mood of feeling, a senti
ment.” Each Raga expresses one
definite mood, which may be of
anguish, sorrow, longing, joy, love,
religious devotion -—the whole
gamut of human feeling. In all
there are 72 Ragas and about 400
derivatives used today by the In
dian musician as the basis of his
own improvisations.
vedeme adCC bw-e diertho m m
Those who saw the film “The
River” will remember how the
cpening music established the
haunting, moving sense associated
with the river, This music is from
the Raga called “Mand,” and is
well known among the river-folk
of India.
But, as in all other aspects of
the great social revolution now
taking place in India, America’s
sister Republic in Asia, music is
also undergoing 'a change. The
impact of Western music with its
highly developed theory of har
mony and orchestration, together
with the energies and talents re
leased by India’'s modern renais
sance, is having its effect on In
lian music, although it is too soon
to say to what extent Indian mu
sic will take on the character or
laws of clasical Western harmony.
Meanwhile, the Republic of India
is encouraging’ the maintenance of
the high standards of Indian mu
sic by awarding, beginning with
this year, prizes *to four distin
guished musicians of the country
in vocal and instrumental music.
Secrefary Tobin
Brings Aclion
Against Packer
ATLANTA, Ga, July 4—ln a
Civil action brought in the United
States District court at Macon, by
Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary, U. S.
Department of Labor against the
B-C Packing Company, Inc.,, and
Howell W. Myrick, General Man-~
ager, of Quitman, an injunction
has been asked to restrain the de
fendants from further alleged vio
lations of the Federal Wage and
Hour law.
The government’s complaint al
leges the defendants have, since
September 15, 1950, been violating
the minimum wage, overtime, and
record-keeping provisions of the
Fair Labor Standards Act and
have been shipping in interstate
commerce meats and meat prod
ucts produced in violation of the
act.
The action against the meat
packing company and its manager
is based upon an investigation
made by the Wage and Hour and
Public Contracfs Divisions, U. S.
Department of Labor, and was fil
ed by attorneys representing the
Department of Labor.
Date for hearing on the com
plaint has not yet been set.
The first stable for White
House horses eventually became a
school in 1821 for the poor chil
dren of Washington.
The President of the United
States had to pay for his own
transportation up until the time of
the automobile.

ordinarily he can have one if he
wants to make the necessary ef
fort. The climate in most parts of
the Unted States favors the growth
of some kind of grass, and rainfall
usually is adequate to maintain the
life of a lawn even though it is
sometimes insufficient for limited
periods to promote the best growth.
The farm home owner usually
does not demand the fine-textured
and expensive bentgrass sward of
the golf course but he would like a
uniform, vigorous turf that pre
sents a good appearance under
favorable growing conditioxf and
withstands wear and drought.
Becayse farm lawns do not ordi
nariiy have artificial irigation, spe
cial attention should be given fto
the other factors necessary for a
good lawn such as a good top soil
3 to 4 inches deep containing plenty
of organic matter, adequate drain
age so that proper aeration is ob
tained, a good well-fertilized seed
bed and high quality seed of the
right kinds. Avoid using any of
the ‘‘cheap’” lawn mixtures on the
market. The best seed of adapted
varieties always gives best results.
Liberal fertilization at the time of
sowing and frequently thereaffer
helps materially to make up for
periods of short water supply.
The grasses suitable for thé per
mament farm lawn must be those
well adapted to the climate of the
region. Snecies that reguire spe
cial care to survive shculd not be
used. Kentucky bivesrass and red

Madison Farmer
Raises Bicolor
Plants For Sale
(By RALPH BRANAN)
MADISON COUNTY = Under
the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Act, a tax is placed on all sport
ing goods sold in Georgia, the
- collected being allocated
to the State Wildlife Department
for purchasing bicolor lespedeza
plants. Several farmers in the
Broad River Soil Conservation
District and others throughout the
state have grown bicolor lespe
deza plants in order to meet the
requests for this valuable shrub.
Mack Burden, in the Oak Grove
community of Madison county,
has had great success for the past
two years in growing bicolor les
pedeza plants on his farm. Mr.
Burden says that he cuts his land
at two different times with a
harrow before planting. His first
years planting consisted if 32
acre on which he aplied 100 lbs.
4-8-6 fertilizer. The bicolor seed
were planted with a planter in
rows spaced 30 inches apart and
seeded at a rate recommended by
the State Wildlife Department
and the Broad River Soil Conser- «
vation District.
The plants came up very small
and tender and 3 days were spent”
carefully hoeing and weeding—
many of the weeds having to be
pulled up by hand. After being
plowed one time and the middles
run out one time, the plants re
ceived no more attention.
A home made plow, that cut
to the sides of the plants and
under, made the plants easily
lifted out by hand. Digging and
counting took six days; 185.000
plants being harvested that
brought a return of $370,00.
The second year 3; of an acre
was seeded, 225 lbs, of 4-8-68 fer
tilizer used, and 5 days were
spent in hoeing. Plowing was
done as in the first year, and
ten days were spent in harvest
ing, tieing up 100 plants to a
bundle, and healing out, for de
livery but this time a cash re
turn from $2.50 per thousand
or $700.00 was made.
Mr. Burden, relating this
story under the dense shade of
his oak trees growing in his
}yard said, “Growing these plants
was profitable enough. even
though a considerable amount of
labor was wused.” Pausing and
explaining he continued, “You
should see the amount of plants
that came up over the two sites
formerly devoted to growing
these shrubs. Last year as I passec
around my old patch I saw quail
| running into the patch for (:over."
Mrs. Burden, who also had a
hand in this project pointed out
an area she had planted between
the read and the newly construct
ed highway by their home. She
said, “That is my patch, good for
quail, but they also make good
brush brooms. Quail even come in
the yard, we like it that way for
we love the fauna and flora of
our farm.”
A federal act in 1862 gave land
to each of the states for the es
tablishment of colleges and land
grant colleges were subsequently
established in each state of the
United States. -
It has been asserted that some
groups of people depend so much
on gestures to supplement spe=ch
that they cannot carry on a con
versation in the dark, but the as
sertion has been widley disputec.
Farm Lawn,
An Attractive
Alta or Ky 31, is probably one of
the most suitable types to use where
a close turf is not required. In the
North it can be combined with Ken
tucky bluegrass and in the South
with Bermudagrass. The Zoysias
may be combined with any of the
other adapted grasses in either
region. In the sub-humid areas of
the Great Plains some of the dry
land grasses such as buffalograss,
crested wheatgrass and blue grama
may be used.
The best time to sow grass seed
in most of the Northern and Cen
tral States is in late summer or
fall from August 15 to October: 15,
provided there is adequate mois
ture at time of sowing or soon after
wards. The seedbed shpuld 'be
prepared from 2 to 4 weeks before
the seeding date so that the weads
may be killed by the final raking.
Spring seedings sometimes bring
fair results if rcompleted before
mid-April.
Farm lawns have certain ad
vantages over city lawns. Farm
manure is available and farm ecuin
ment can be used for thorcugh
preparation of scedbed including
weed eradication, drainage and
grading, distributing fertilizer, sow
ing seed, and frequent mowing.
Seed sown on most unfertilized
soils usually fails entirely or pro
duces a peor tfurfl. An applicaiion
of 40 pounds of a 5-10-5 fertilizer to
each 1,000 square feet of lawn: area
gives good results. Cn very .peor
soils use up to cdouble this amount.
Holding in mind a few of tizace
salient points, ‘almost any f{armer
can have n good lawn to beaulily
his homnd ¢arrocundings. 3
