explains the "avalanche of untrue
charges” from the Taft camp that
Eisenhower has failed to spell out
his position on vital issues.
2. Taft said in a television inter
view that the atomic bomb—not
President Truman’s foreign policy
—has prevented Russia from at
tacking the free world. He also
charged that Mr. Truman “has so
neglected the Air Force” that this
country may not continue to have
“deterrent” power to prevent World
War 111.
3. Russell said on the same pro
gram that it is easy for Taft and
other critics of administration for
eign policy to have “hindsight”
about the Soviet menace. But he
said neither Taft nor any other
Republican praised their voices
against demobilization of the

Holding Out
I Jackson (IPI A clique of in
mates who touched off the worst
riot ever to hit the world’s biggest
walled prison continued to hold out
for peace today despite a promise
that their demands would be ful
filled.
Holding 10 prison guards hostage
as “bargaining power,” the 173 die- |
hard convicts in Cellblock 15 sought
further assurances against repris
als for their part in uprisings in
which one inmate was killed and
eight others wounded by state po-/
lice bullets.
NEGOTIATES WITH RIOTERS
Warden Julian Frisbie “negotia
ted” with the rioting element by
telephone into the small hours of
the morning as two squads of state
police quelled the latest flare-up at
Southern Michigan Prison.
“I’m going along with you on all
these things . . . I've told you that
and I mean it,” the warden said, al
most pleadingly to Earl Ward, 27-
year-old admitted psychopath act
ing as spokesman for the rioters.
Frisbie referred to 11 prisoner
demands, which he has granted in
hopes of saving the hostages and
restoring peace to the sprawling
pentagon-shaped prison. The hos
tages, most of them held since
rioting begarv*©unday night, faced
almost certain death if police tried
to storm the cellblock fortress.

a balance between too much and
not enough. Once you get the pit
balanced it is easy to maintain the
right amount of moisture.”
The top is covered with a layer
of prepared food made up of pine
cones and organic matter. “Some
people use laying mash for food,"
Duncan said, “but I have found
that the worms grow bigger and are
healthier on a diet of the prepared
food I use.”
25,004 PER PIT
Each of the pits will raise more
than 25,000 worms annually. One
worm , vdll lay an estimated 150)
eggs each year add each 7 egg "will
contain from three to ten embryo
worms. *
~“They never see dirt,” Duncan
commented. When the creatures are
of commercial size they are remov
ed from the pits and packed in
containers of one and two hund
red in peat moss. “They will keep
for months,” Duncan said. “All that
is necessary is to keep them moist.”
The stock from which the worms
in the four pits Duncan now has,
were bought in Alabama shortly af
ter he started his annual business.
The original purchase was all that
was necessary.
The trees surrounding Duncan’s
place swarm with birds attracted
by the prospect, perhaps, of free
lunches. Duncan admits that the
birds do take advantage of their
opportunity to free load but says,
“I can spare them a few worm?.”
Mocking birds often entertain him
until late in the evening.
