major new threat to its security. In Syria th* dispute was between President Shukri El-Kuwatly, considered moderately proWestern, and Lt Col. Abdel Hamid Serraj, Syria’s 31 - year -old mystery ’’strongman" who is,proSoviet and anti-American. In Jordan the dispute was between pro-Western King Hussein and Premier Suleiman Nabulsi who is staunchly pro Egyptian and who called only Thursday for Jordan to develop its ties with the Soviet Union. Israel also has expressed fear that Saudi Arabian troops which moved into Jordan with Syrian troops at time of the Sinai Desert campaign would partition Jordan and take over the port of Aqaba just across the top of the gulf from the Israeli port of Eilat. A new warning came from Syria Thursday night that the Gulf of Aqaba was "Arab territorial waters" and that no ships could pass through without Egyptian and Saudi Arabian permission, Syrian Foreign Minister Salah Bitar told newsmen in Damascus

that Secretary of State John Fodter DuUes” support for Israel's right of free passage was "an encouragement to Israel for aggression." Delay Canal Plan The new situation in Syria and Jordan almost outweighed the current diplomatic maneuvering over Egypt’s plans for running the Suez Canal. Egypt delayed publication of its "final memorandum" scheduled for Thursday night hnd began a hasty round of talks with U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare. Diplomatic sources in Cairo expressed belief the delay may indicate Egypt was willing to make some changes in its plan, but Egyptians said there would be no change in the decision to bar Israeli ships. Egypt also appeared to be.sending up trial balloons for a Geneva conference between Egypt and the major canal users on its future. Several Cairo newspapers carried dispatches from Geneva saying such a conference was in the works and that the United States wanted to make Egypt’s canal plan into a binding convention that would replace the Convention of 1888 promising free passage of the Canal. Israel Feels Let Down Egypt considered its position strengthened by the increasing number of ships using the canal. The British tanker President Brand Was reported by Egyptian sources to have applied for permission to transit the canal Saturday on Egypt's terms. The canal developments brought dismay in Jeru sael wmeroefi-fheß dismay in Jerusalem where officials felt they had been let down by the United States and by U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. Foreign Ministry officials said Hammarskjold’s news conference statement in New York Thursday showed he was still prepared to underwrite all of the commitments undertaken by President Gamal Abdel Nasser. They also ’expressed disappointment at the position of President Eisenhower and said he had retreated from his March 21 television speech in which he explicitly endorsed Israel’s right to passage

0 ,— * County Agent's Column • o Care of Waterways An extension agricultural engineer at Purdue University has come up with some timely suggestions for farmers to follow in the care ' of grass waterways. ’ Don Sisson says if waterways—- • a vital phase of excess water dis- • posal—are to continue to do a good ’ job, they’ll need some maintenance this spring. Sisson says broken tile in water- • ways should be repaired. If the 1 tile is old, broken and inefficient, ’ it should be replaced. The new ‘ tile should be placed at one side ” of and at a depth of at least three feet below the bottom of the waterway. The engineer explains that tile may be needed to drain wa- ■ terways that remain wet. When wet, waterways may be damaged ‘ if crossed by equipment. Nitrogen fertilizer or manure should be applied to the waterway in April. The area should be mowed or controlled grazing practiced to encourage a dense grass cover. ' ..“Dop't, . sMffw grazing on waterways when the ground is soft. Use caution if hogs are permitted to (graze at all,” Sisson, advises; "Be on the lookout for small gully. If any are found, repair them immediately by tamping in

rills or breaks that may start a grfcss sod from a fence row. "Remove limbs and other debris that has collected In waterways. And don't use waterways as roadways,” Sisson adds. Plows should be tripped and discs straightened when crossing waterways. It is best to plow at right angles rather than parallel to waterways. Waterways should be left at least 20 feet wide. A good rule of thumb is to leave the waterway 10 feet wide plus an additional foot for each acre of drainage area. Sisson says the grass waterway is the most critical part of the wa-
