is doubled. The clover leaf weevil is a greenish white larva about one half inch long. They are found on the leaves or curved around the stem of the legume plants. Aphids are plant lice. The fumes of the BIIC kill these Insects. A spraying is effective for 10 days to two weeks. Many farmers have begun spraying and will continue until June. As a precaution, the field should not l>e pastured for at least three weeks after spraying with BHC. If a farmer wishes to spray*and utilise the field immediately he can use methohyeholor known as muriate. This kills only on direct contact so spraying with rgarlate should be delayed until the middle and latter part of this week to

Five States Appeal For Drought Aid Federal Aid Asked By Five Governors WASHINGTON UP—The White House is expected to move quickly on five governors’ appeal for 15 million dollars to help fight drought and duet storm losses in their stricken states. . The governors of Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma. New Mexico and Kansas made the request Monday at an afternoon meeting at the White House. President Eisenhower called the drought conference. They asked that the money be added "immediately” to this year’s 195-million-dollar agricultural conservation program under which the government helps the farmer finance soil-conserving practices. Presidential press secretary James Haggerty said Mr. Eisenhower asked the agriculture department and the civil defense administration to make an "immediate” study of the request. Haggerty said their reports to the President would probably be made today. The only question seems to be where the 15 million dollars would be obtained. It could come from the President’s emergency fund, which is managed by civil defense chief Vai Peterson, or congress could appropriate the additional funds. Gov. Dan Thornton of Colorado, who acted as spokesman for the group, said the funds would go for “immediate and emergency problems” which must be met in the next six to eight weeks. He said the governors will make recommendations on long range drought problems later, possibly before they leave Washington Thursday or Friday. o catch most of the spittle bugs. Two quarts of marlate emulsion in 10 gallons of water are used to an acre. The field can be pastured immediately. X_._

Says Britain Unwilling To Commit Troops Churchill Assures Commons On Issue Os Indochina War LONDON UP — Prime minister Winston Churchill said today Britain is unwilling to commit any British troops to Indochina before the Geneva conference has considered the Indochina situation. "Her majesty’s government is not prepared to give any commitment about Uliited Kingdom military action in advance of the Geneva conference,” Churchill told an anxious house of commons. The Prime Minister emphasized each word of his statement. He added that no new military or political commitments had been given in weekend talks among foreign secretary Anthony Eden, U. S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles and French foreign minister Georges Bidault. His statement was made in reply to an anxious question by former Laborite primp minister Clement Attlee about the Saturday meeting of the three foreign ministers in Paris. That meeting sent Eden hurrying back to London for a midnight conference with Churchill and a Sunday cabinet meeting. Churchill warned that the “violent tension” raised by the Communist siege of Dien Bien Phu in Indochina should not be permitted to obscure the calm world view of the statesmen negotiating at Geneva on Indochina and Korea. The prime minister conferred for half an hour with French ambassador Rene Massigli immediately before he appeared in Commons. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Ike's Decision Not To Campaign Is On Way Out . Kentucky Swing Is Pointed Indication Os Campaign Change WASHINGTON UP — President •Eisenhower's decision against involvement in local congressional election campaigns is folding under pressure. That the decision would not hold was forecast last year when the President announced it. That it is not holding was sufficiently evident after Mr. Eisenhower’s swing through Kentucky last week. Jt was not mere chance that placed Kentucky’s Republican Sen. John Sherman Cooper at the President’s elbow when he traveled in that state. Cooper, up for reelection this year, has drawn former Vice President Alben W. Barkley as his Democratic opponent. The presidential party with Coopzxas unniikinxinilo i a ivl u ulliftxxil <?r pruiiiiiitrntiy tiispxctytsti, suitivu from closed to open automobiles to parade into the larger towns visited last week. That would be a maneuver dictated by political necessity rather than (Mr, Elsenhower’s preference. The President was giving Cooper what the politicians call a coat-tail ride —' appearing with him in public in an effort to translate some of the assumed presidential prestige into votes for the local party candidate. The Kentucky invitation to the voters to look and applaud contrasted with Mr. Eisenhower's habit in solidly Democratic Georgia where he prefers to golf. There he is whisked from airport to tee by routes least likely to be lined by citizens who are going to vote Democratic, anyway, no matter how loudly they might cheer. It still is a bit early for presidential campaigning. The tempo will pick up after Mr. Eisenhower

goes to Denver where he hopes to remain from late July until.mldSepteniber. One major—political appearance already is scheduled —a speech Aug. 19 on Republican day at the Illinois state fair. Republican strategists count Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) among those they might beat in next November’s t-leetion. Party .managers are planning an active October for Mr. Eisenhower. The campaigning will be on the pattern of his Kentucky journey — appearances, with local candidates but with the presidential speeches tuned to higher things than mere party politics. The President’s campaigning likely will take Him to California. There has been discussion of a Labor Day appearance to boost election chances of California’s Republican Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel. But Gov. Goodwin S. Knight headed a California delegation to the White House today urging a miil-Septem-ber date in connection with a Mare Island celebration in San Francisco Bay. There will be many such nonpolitical opportunities for the president to campaign. Dr. C. W. Mayo ■hnd Paul Grassle Sr., of Rochester, Minn., also were on today’s calling list to invite the President to participate in 'Minnesota centennial observances. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, a Democrat, seeks reelection in Minqesota this year. Such appearances could give a slice nf coat-tail to many a deserving Republican candidate. ’> The Republican party jieeds all the help the President can lend this year. Its back to the wall, the GOP needs to reverse precedent by winning more house and senate seats in this of-year election than it got last time when it put its man in the White House. Republicans lack a sente majority and hold the house by a hair line as the 1954 campaign begins. A bill introduced at/the 1954 session of the Michigan Legislature would grant free camping prviileges in State parks to hay fever victims over 65.

Youth Convicted Os 7 Refusing Induction Wabash Farm Youth To Appeal Sentence INDIANAPOtIS UP — Counsel for Vaughn Peebles said today he would appeal the 21-year-old Wabash county farm youth's convict tion of unlawfully refusing induction into the armed services. Peebles was sentenced to three years by Federal Judge William E. Steckler Monday night after a jury deliberated less than three hours and found him guilty. The defendant said he would take the case to the U.S. circuit court of appeals in Chicago. Peebles claimed he should have received a deferment as a conscientious objector. The Wabash county draft board resigned last year over delays in the induction of Peebles and John' V. Beamer, Jr„ son of a Hoosier congressman. Beamer since has been inducted. The case went to the jury after the "court rejected a defense motion for a directed verdict of acquittal. Defense attorney Floyd W. Burns, Indianapolis, claimed Peebles should be acquitted because he was denied his procedural rights by an appeal board. The Wabash county draft board was “biased,’’ Burns claimed, and passed bias on to the Northern Indiana district appeal board. Burns said the board improperly “decided” Peebles’ appeal before it was considered by the justice department. Peebles had asked for two farm exemptions, and then sought CO status two years after registering for the draft and after passing his physical examination. Steckler overruled the acquittal motion on grounds that if the defendant had been denied any rights, they were not of enough importance to deprive him of due process of law. Assistant U. S. Atty. Stephen Leonard said the Wabash board questioned Peebles’ sincerity. The government presented only ■ two witnesses and the defense none. Burns argued Peebles, a Quaker, was sincere and he added the defendant’s request for exemptions was “what he had a right to do” under'the law. "It takes more courage for one to take such a stand and to face possible . . . prison than to go’’ into the army, Burns said. He said Peebles developed his position as a CO after a new minister came to his church |gst fall.
