DENTIST SEVERELY BURNED IN BLAST
The condition of Dr. Eugene E. Bales, dentist, severely burned by a laboratory explosion at his office, 3414 Clifton st., yesterday, was reported as “fair” at St. Vincent's hospital today. While preparing to administer an anesthetic to a patiént, Wayne Offenbauer, 1166 W. 32d st., Dr. Bales went into his laboratory and a moment later a terrific explosion occured. “Some alcohol exploded,” declared Dr. Bales as he ran into the patient’s room, his clothing aflame. Mr. Offenbauer grabbed a rug off the reception room floor and wrapped it around the doctor, putting out the flames, but not until they had seared his back, arms and face. Mr. Offenbauer escaped with only slight burns, Frank Lobraico, nearby druggist, heard the explosion and ran to the Bales office. He said he found Dr. Bales in a semi-¢onscious condition and rushed him to the hospital in his car. :

This year’s beginning victory gardeners who have never sowed anything but grass seed before are leaving the oldtimers in the shade of their own cornstalks and tomato plants. Perhaps the best thing for the oldtimers to do would be to dig a hole and bury al their scientific methods, superstitutions, signs of the moon, corncobs and whatever else they abide by, and. just let their plants grow like the new farmers do.
Visiting three victory gardens yesterday, I happened on to three whose owners had never planted a garden before in their lives. But the gardens they've got this year are making up for lost time. Mr, and Mrs. C. D. Scarlett, 2058 Ruckle st., have a backyard full of about 20 tomato plants, each bearing close to 35 tomatoes.
| 2 F J » ON THE SOUTH side, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd McGuire, 839 Woodlawn ave., have one tomato plant which now has 66 tomatoes (I counted them) and they had alréady picked 13. : And Mrs. Paul Calet, 3535 N. Tacoma ave., has planted everything but. peanuts in her garden, but her prize product is a Siamese twin summer squash. When everyone was encour-
OIL DEALERS URGE 4-POINT PROGRAM
Midwestern gasoline and oil marketers presented a four-point program to representatives of the petroleum © administration - for war yesterday in-the first of a series of meetings to air the problems confronting the smaller dealer, Members of PAW, headed by W. W. Vandeveer, district 2 director, will meet in Chicago today to discuss similar ‘problems. The program advocated by oil meén included abolition of the 72hour week for filling. stations, a wider price margin for dealers and retailers, greater representation on government oil industry committees for indepertdent and smaller marketérs and a raise in the price of crude oil to producers to encourage development of new fields and increase the supply.
Novice Gardeners Learn To Just Let Crops Grow
aged to plant victory gardens early this season, the Scarletts took garden tools in hand and dug up their backyard rose beds and flower gardens. Mr. Scarlett wasn’t quite sold on the corncob tomato plant method of Fremont Power, the Times’ Tomato Editor of last year, so he used his own method of cultivation. He sank a small tin can, open at the top and with: several holes in the bottom, close to each plant. Then instead of watering the plant directly, the water seeped through the can to the roots of the stalk. Result: an aboveaverage crop of tomatoes.
2 =» =
AT THE McGuires the overloaded tomato plant has spread over a, good part of their garden, and the fruit hangs on the sturdy stalks in clusters. We counted 66 tomatoes as well as 25 blossoms which will bring more tomatoes. Mischievous squirrels have eaten their lettuce and
trimmed some of their tomato
vines, but they haven't started on this plant yet. A Texas woman who has to have her squash like we Hoosiers have to have potatoes, Mrs. Calet got two for one in her Siamese twin squash. Each squash is about eight inches. long and they have grown together “back to back. Because of her husband's long working hours, she is the chief gardener ‘in the family both in the backyard patch and in the community plot - at Keystone ave. and 30th st. She showed me her celery, broccoli, cantaloupes, celtus and butter lettuce which is thriving under: her Hand as well as the usual beans, tomatoes and corn.

these steps: Refused classification as a conscientious objector by his Minneapolis, Kas., draft board, and went to F't. Leavenworth to take his final examination in the hope that he would be rejected due to poor eyesight. Classified 1-B, he told army officers that he woyld not report for induction but would turn himself over to civil authorities for arrest end imprisonment. After a huddle, the officers put Billings under guard and a few minutes later read him the oath of induction. A short time later, Billings refused an order to be fingerprinted. This got him into the guardhouse where he has been since awaiting a court-martial for failing to obey an army command. 3
‘Deprived of Rights,’ Says
In. his appeal, he contended that he had been deprived of his ‘“constitutional rights” when the army placed him . under guard as a civilian. If such inductions were possible, Billings said,” congress “could deprive citizens of their most essential rights under the constitution by inducting them into the , and convert this country into a totalitarian. military state in which ° the citizens would be little better than slaves.” The writ was ‘dismissed by the Kansas federal court which ruled that Billings had been lawfully inducted and was “now in the hands of the army.” This decision was afirmed by the 10th circuit court of appeals on April 30, 1943.
