Lettuce Variety for the Salad Bowl >

Association
Lettuce is one crop that . is
grown in every home vegetable
garden, even though it is no larg
er than a ping-pong table. But not
much imagination is used in se
lection of varieties for almost 90
per cent is leaf lettuce. Season
after season, home gardeners
grow these two standard varieties
of leaf lettuce: Early Curled and
Black-Seeded Simpson,
If you are interested in variety
for the salad bowl, try a more
recent lettuce known as Oak
Leaf, illustrated in the accom
panying Garden-Graph. The shape
of its leaves give it its name. It
is proving Jo be more and more
popular because of its ability to
remain tender and free from bit
terness. It also grows freely in
hot weather, when most varieties
go to seed. It keeps producing
until late in the fall.
Bibb lettuce, illustrated, also
is growing in popularity. It is
neither loose leaf or head lettuce,
although it has a tendency to fold
or pinch together in the center.
The leaves are dark green and
roundish in shape. They are rath
er crisp, yet extremely tender.
Bibb lettuce thrives best in cool
weather. Therefore it .should be
planted early in the season for
spring maturity or in August for
autumn use. When it is planted
in late spring, thus maturing in
hot midsummer, it i s quick to
produce seed stems unless pro
tected with a shade frame.
It is a mistake to grow long
rows of lettuce at one time. A
better method is to plant short
strips of different varieties' a few
weeks apar.t. A good salad bowl
mixture consists of Black-Seeded
Simpson, Oak Leaf and Bibb let
uce.

Red Coup In Austria Feared
As Washington Concern Grows
By The Associated Press
A Communist maneuver against
the conservative-dominated gov
ernment of Austria was reported
in Vienna today, adding to the
swift - moving sequence of events
which many western diplomats re
gard as Stalin’s answer to the
Truman Doctrine.
i A high personality in the Aus
trian administration quoted a
leading Austrian Communist as
saying Moscow would refuse to
sign a peace treaty w'ith the pres
ent Austrian government. The
Communist, Ernst Fischer, was
quoted as telling two Austrian
cabinet members that he had def
inite information from Moscow
that repercussions could be ex
pected if “western orientation” in
Austria remained unchanged.
This drew significance from the
Communist coup in Hungary,
which forced Premiar ■ Ferenc
Nagy out of office, and the arrest
in Sofia of the chief of Bulgarian
opposition to the Soviet-supported
Communist regime.
The Hungarian coup, which
President Truman has called an
outrage, still was being studied
in Washington. The administration
was reported determined to seek
full disclosure of Russia’s role in
the establishment of Budapest’s
new Communist regime.
World interest centered- on the
U. S. State Department’s plan to
send a strongly worded note of
protest to the Soviet Union against
the Hungarian stroke, but in Mos
cow, the Soviet press made no
mention either of the prospective
note or of President Truman’s
comments on the events.
So long as., no peace treaty is
signed with Austria and the allied
occupation continues, Rus:;a can
keep troops in Hungary to main
tain communications with her oc
cupation forces in Austria. Reten
tion of such troops conforms with
Stalin Prizes
Awarded Famous
Russian Writers
MOSCOW, June 7 — (JP) — Three
Russians well known abroad—
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Konstantin
Simonov and Serge Prokofieff—
were awarded the coveted Stalin
prizes today for work in 1946.
Vishinsky, deputy foreign mini
ster, received a 200,000-ruble
award for his work, “The Theory
of Judicial Evidence in Soviet
Law,” published last year.
Simonov, journalist, novelist and
playwright, got 100,000 rubles for
his play, “The Russian Question,”
which concerns the American press
and its attitude toward the Soviet
Union.
Prokofieff, composer, was
awarded 100,000 rubles for a new
sonata for violin and ■ piano.
BILBO OPERATED
NEW ORLEANS, June 7—(fP)—
An operation which Mississippi’s
ailing Senator Theodore G. Bilbo
underwent yesterday was described
today officially as a “major opera

terms of the treaty signed by the
allies with Hungary.
Russia' has extended recognition
to the Austrian government, along
with France, Britain and the Unit
ed States. Since recognition was
extended, Austria, under Socialist
President Karl Renner and con
servative Chancellor Leopold Fig)
has firmly opposed Yugoslav
claims to Styria and Carinthia.
Yugoslavia’s claims are backed
b->' Russia.
A chief stumbling block to the
Austrian treaty, however, has
been the argument over definition
of German assets in Austria. The
council of fc.eign ministers at
Moscow failed to agree on that.
Deputies of the council have been
meeting in Vienna in efforts to
pave the way for a treaty draft
at London next November.

mencement exercises in commemo

her admission to the school.
Dr. Herbert L. Spencer, presi
dent of the university, presented

Industry Influx In South
Result Of Enthusiasm
NEW ORLEANS, June 7_ (JP)_
Speakers addressing a southern
planning committee here today cre

labor and tax exemptions, with
spurring the current migration of
industry into Dixie.
Dr. Glenn E. McLaughlin of the
United States department of the
