LOW COST SOIL FUMIGATION Best way to be sure soil is free from nematodes before planting to
bacco is to fumigate the soil. Here’s a machine designed and built by Lillington Agriculture students to
do the job. Equipment's permanently mounted on a cultivator, can be attached to any make of tractor.
Liquid insecticide, inserted deep in soil, kills parasites which cause root knot. Howard Morrison, first

who will be secretary of the in
terior. came away well satisfied with
the first major meeting of GOP

TEAM READY
“The team will be all ready to
go,” he said.
Another future cabinet member,
who asked to remain anonymous,
said:
“We walked in and while we were
rating our oysters on the half
hell. the President-elect stood up
and outlined for us the real topics
or problems, if you want to call
them that, ahead of our adminis
tration,’’ he said. “Then he threw
the meeting open for discussion and
rach man took his turn.”

Einstein Appeals
For Rosenbergs j i
PRINCETON, N. J., (IP) Dr.
Albert Einstein has appealed to 1
President Truman to commute the 1
death sentences of convicted 1
atomic spies Julius and Ethel 1
Rosenberg.
In a one-paragraph letter to the 1
President, Einstein said yesterday:
“My conscience compels me to
urge you to commute the death ’
sentences of Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg. This appeal to you is
prompted by the same reasons
which were set forth so convinc
ingly by my distinguished col
league, Harold C. Urey; in his let
ter Jan. 5, 1963, to the New York
Times.” ;' t V,
In his letter, Urey criticized
“grossly unequal” punishment
given the husband-and-wlfe spy
team in view of lighter sentences
handed other members of the ring.
Urey also attacked the govern
ment’s evidence against the Rosen
bergs.
The Rosenbergs have appealed
to Mr. Truman to save them with
executive clemency. Pending ac
tion by the President, they were
granted a stay of execution but
remain in the death house at New
York's Sing Sing prison.

Church, spoke to the Men’s Fellowship Club of St. Steph

outlined causes leading to the reformation, at a meetipg
of the club last night.
The Protestant reformation, he,

by a small group of dissenters but
something that, had been maturing
over a long period of time. Many

At the time of the reformation,
he stated, the power of the Pope
was absolute, not only tn spiritual
matters but over the whole Empire
as well. As an ace in the whole

As mi example, he cited the case

Rep. John Umstead said that'his
younger brother had the $25,000,-

legislators in his inaugural address
to submit to the people a bond is

He listed these projects and

A school for the Negro feeble
