When Pruning Pruning is not something done only to small plants. Any plant that grows out of normal proportion should be brought back into line by pruning, and this applies likewise to seedings. If the plants in the seed flats have to wait a bit longer than anticipated, or if they get leggy because of insufficient light, just nip out the growing point at the top. Thsi will prevent further immediate upward growth and encourage the formation of a bushy, well-proportioned plant

Explosion Os Gas Truck Is Averted A large explosion in downtown Decatur was averted Monday afternoon when a gasoline truck experienced difficulties at the intersection of Monroe and Second streets. The truck was carrying 72,000 gallons of high octane gasoline, and the driver had lost control of the large vehicle on U. S. 224, east of Decatur a short time earlier. The truck went into the ditch along the road, but was pulled out by Ernie Baumann’s wrecker and continued on toward its destination which was Geneva. The ten-wheel tanker, reported to be one of the largest sized such trucks on the highway, was damaged in the mishap, however. As the truck neared the Monroe and Second street intersection, a "tongue” broke, which could have caused the fifth Wheel to' collapse. If the wheel had collapsed, the I trailer would have more than likely fallen, and could have, easily set off an explosion. Baumann and and the truck driver, however, averted the disaster by using a chain in place of the tongue, and the truck continued on to Geneva,

Seek Halt To Laos Fighting

VIENTIANE, Laos (UPD—lnternational inspectors took steps today to stop the fighting between neutralist and pro-Communist forces which threatens to engulf Laos in a new civil war. 1 Members of the International Control Commission (ICC) conferred with Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma on the worsening situation. It was believed they discussed the dispatch of ICC teams to the Plain of Jars to enforce a cease-fire. A member of the commission said ICC officials would be dispatched Wednesday to the central region where neutralist forces of Gen. Kong Le were reported under heavy attack by troops of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao. Souvanna tried to soft-pedal the fighting in comments to newsmen but he postponed a scheduled visit to the plain of Jars because of the apparent danger. The neutralist premier, informed sources said, deferred a personal inspection of the combat region pending assurance of his safety from Kong Le. The renewed fighting threatened the existence of Souvanna’s coalition government made up of right-wing, neutralist and proCommunist factions. The government was formed under the 1962 Geneva accords which ended the Laotian civil war, but it has been unable to stabilize itself. The country has received large amounts of economic assistance from the United States.

Though unofficial reports told of vicious fighting, the administrative capital here had no direct communication from Kong Le since Sunday night.

Congress GOP Leaders Lashed By McCormack WASHINGTON (UP 17 — Democratic congressional leaders charged after a meeting with President Kennedy today that Republican* appeared to be "willing to risk a recession to win an election." Speaker John W. McCormack lashed out at the GOP congressional leadership in reporting that Kennedy was “very much concerned” at the House Appropriations Committee’s rejection last week of the administration’s request for SSOQ , million for jobcreating public works projectsMcCormack .noted .that all Republican members of the committee voted to depy the funds. They were joined by several conservative Democrats in the 22-19 vote. McCormack said the committee vote "clearly evidences the blind opposition of the great majority of toe Republican party to both houses of Congress/’ The speaker said the committee action “raises the question whether the Republican leadership is willing .to risk a recession to win an election." McCormack added: "They make speeches against unemployment — and they vote down programs to help employment. They forget about the deficit when they recommend cutting corporation taxes for the rich—but they forget about the unemployed when they cut out public works for our towns and cities.” Hospital Admitted Gerry Wheeler, Decatur. Dismissed Miss Ruth Witte, Decatur; Master Stephen Miler; Paul Moore, Decatur.
