Knowland, of California, the Re publican leader, had renewed his call for a blockade in the face of a pronouncement last night by Secretary of State Dulles Dulles, in a major foreign policy speech in Chicago last night, de clared that the first duty of the United States is to “exhause peace ful means” to protect the rights of Americans imprisoned by Red China, rather than “now resorting to war action, such as a naval and air blockade." Hagerty was asked by newsmen whether Eisenhower agrees with Dulles that a blockade woul.. amount to war action. ‘ Yes," Hagerty replied, adding that the President “approved com pletely” Dulles’ entire speech. Hagerty said Dulles consulted with Eisenhower regarding the speech several times, and that they conferred as late as yester day afternoon.

In a television interview today (the Dave Garroway show on NBC) he was asked about the speech in which Dulles opposed blockade but said this country will “react vigorously” to Communist provocation in Asia.” Knowland, responding with a renewal of the proposal which he first made in the Senate, never theless said he does not believe the “breach" between him and the Eisenhower administration is as wide as some people try to make it appear. We Do All Kinds of Printing —Except Bad CHRONICLE PUBLISHING CO. Phone 74 George Blue Sparks PC To 20-18 Victory Presbyterian halfback George Blue should be wearing the wearing the Bronze Derby today; his excellence at placekicking extra points captured the athletic trophy from Newberry here Thanksgiving Day in the classic game of the season. Blue placekicked extra points after the first two Presbyterian touchdowns to get his team a 20- 18 win and the trophy that is symbolic of athletic superiority between the two schools. Presbyterian rolled 97 yards in the game’s; closing minutes to score the winner on quarterback Harry Hamilton’s 27-yard pass to Blue at the goal. Newberry took a first period lead as quarterback Danny Brab ham went over from the two to end an 8T-yard drive. Presbyterian waited until a minute was left in the half to send fullback Eddie Brocken- brough over from the one. Blue's extra point gave Presbyterian the lead, for a few seconds. Newberry halfback Grady Ray raced the resulting kickoft back 47 yards to the Presbyter ian 34, and, with 30 seconds left, quarterback Ken Morgan passed 16 to end Mike Maksim in the end zone. End Bob Jackson of Presbyterian blocked tackle Graver Davis’ extra point place ment try. Hamilton topped a 62-yard drive by going over from the one in the third period, regaining the lead. Newberry countered in the final stanza with a 12-yard pass, halfback Tyler Dufford to end Ed Blankp, in the end zone. The game appeared in the bag for Newberry as’it moved again to the Presbyterian three, but it was stalled there on downs. It was from that point that Presby terian started its winning march, keyed to halfback Gene Butler’s 45-yard sweep around left end to the Newberry 29. Nehru Lauds Eisenhower New Delhi, India.—Prime Min ister Nehru saluted president Eis enhower yesterday as a' worker for peace. He olid Parliament members a big scale war appeared near on two occasions this year—in March and September. “Fortunately these crises passed without disaster," he said, “and in this matter I would like to pay a tribute to the part played by the President of the United States of America in the avoidance of war.” (This dispatch did not elaborate on the crises to which Nehrun re ferred. However, March marked the opening of the fateful battle for Dien Bien Phu, the French fortress- whose fall to the Red-led Vietminh finally tumbled French hopes of victory in Indochina. And in September there was another in the series of aerial incidents over the Sea of Japan, a U. S. Navy patrol plane shot down by Russian jets, that led U. S. Sen ate Majority Jeader Knowland to call for breaking off American diplomatic relations with Mos cow.)

Watkins, a cooperator with the Laurens Soil Conserva tion district, was assisted last week in surveying terrace lines on approximately twelve acres of 1 crop land. The terraces were con structed with the district’s motor grader. Mr. Watkins said, “1 plan to lay off my rows with the terraces now. I had not noticed them run ning up and down the hill so bad ly until after the new terraces were built. The long drought was good for something, it kept me from losing a lot of topsoil from these straight rows." C. W. “Red” Copeland is con structing a two acre pond on his farm located between Clinton and Joanna. The pond will be used for stock watering and fish pro duction. Local technicians of the Soil Conservation Service assisted Mr. Copeland with the necessary sur veys and will assist in getting the bream and bass from the Fish and Wildlife service for stocking the pond. J. W. Tinsley, a district super visor, and his son, Robert, went to Cornelia, Georgia, last week for the district’s new tree plant-! er. The planter will be put into op eration immediately after our first delivery of trees, which is scheduled for Decenaber 6. To date, approximately 250,000 loblolly pine seedlings have been signed up for planting with the new planter for this season. The conservation needs of the district show that there are 14,- 000 acres in Laurens county that should be put to trees for the best use of the sericas. The new plant er will be a big help to land own ers in getting trees planted. Pine seedlings are still avail able from the State Commission of Forestry at $3.00 per thousand delivered in Laurens. Mrs. W. M. Scott, of Easley, re cently requested assistance from the district in working out a con servation plan on her 400 acre beef cattle farm located in the Fork section of Laurens county. Her late husband, Professor W. M. Scott, was a pioneer grower of kudzu and series in this county. The farm has been known for years as Scott’s Kudzu farm. He established around / 75 acres of | steep, eroded hill-sides to kudzu and about the same acreage to les- pedeza ’serica some 16 or 17 years ago. These two deep rooted per ennials have been the main source of hay and grazing on the farm for these many years. The local conservationist, in working out a balanced grazing program for Mrs. Scott, suggesetd that one of the better fields on the | farm, on which the stand of serica ; was thin, be planted to a perennial ’ grass and clover for winter graz- 1 ing. Mrs. Scott said, “Serica has | been a mighty good crop for us. I : hate to plow up any of it. How- ! ever, I’ll try the grass and clover | but I won’t promise to leave it there." Mrs. Scott plans to re-seed 25 to 30 acres of serica during the next two years, from seed har vested on her own farm. She also plans to plant 6,000 pine seed- j lings this year and 6,000 next year on land not suited for grazing crops.
