111., Aug. 5 (INS) R. J. Kemp of Herrin, whose hobby is tree grafting, announced with pride tonight that seven varieties of fruit have been ripening this summer on one tree in his yard, a yellow plurtj tree. On this one tree, he said, are four kinds of plums, two kinds of cherries, and snow peaches.

All retain their original flavor. Kemp is not altogether satisfied, however, for he feels that his experiment in one sense is less than 50 per cent successful He grafted the limbs of 15 varieties of fruit trees on the plum tree originally, but only seven of them produced. ROME. Aug. 5 flj.P) Italian newspapers said today that the Russian Czarist crown jewels had arrived at San FrancLsco from Vladivostok as a guarantee of Russian payment for United States aid.

"The Romanoff Jewels carry the evil eye," the newspaper Popolo di Roma said. "The White House has been forced to accept these jewels to demonstrate that aid to Russia was a good business deal for America. These crown jewels never had brought luck as they were covered with the blood of the Czarist family. The entire business deal is proof that the so-called defenders of Christian civilization help each other only when payment for this aid is assured." A total of 44 voluntary blood donations were made at Delaware Chapter of the American Red Cross headquarters yesterday for use in the national plasma reserve established by the American Red Cross for the armed forces of the nation. Yesterday's donors included Lam-mot duPont, chairman of the Delaware Chapter, other chapter officials, students, salesgirls, who gave up their lunch hour, an elderly retired physician, defense workers, and a group of nearly 25 employes of the Dravo Corporation who volunteered as a unit.

Dr. John McGraw of the Bryn Mawr Hospital, Philadelphia, performed each brief operation. He was assisted by Josephine Tierney, secretary of the Philadelphia District Red Cross blood donations campaign, and two staff nurses. Miss Petty Costello and Miss Mary Marcantonio. Mrs.

Grace Little, home hygiene director of the Delaware Chapter, and a member of the donation committee, directed the establishment of the temporary dispensary in the Red Cross building and was in charge of the donors during the short rest period following the operation. PERMANENT but not to eat for at least four hours before their appointment. The amount of blood taken from each donor ranges from one-half to one pint, at the discretion of Dr. Mc- Graw. No unpleasant after effect or weakness is apparent.

Each vol- unteer donor will receive a button in recognition of his or her service. fx I 1- few JM Yr i chl- iV' raw iiri" 'j it "I'MMaaasia sirii it-T-Hissl NEW YORK. Ausj. 5 The National Association of Manufacturers announced- today a survey of 659 defense industries in 23 cities showed an enrollment of 382.876 men, women, and youths in plant training courses. This reserve army of labor, trained by industry, is being built tip to eliminate any delay in the nation's defense effort.

The survey also stated 102.523 men and women were enrolled in summer vocational schools, getting streamlined courses in all branches of skilled labor. The Training within Industry Division of OPM has placed labor requirements at between 1500.000 and 1,500.000 skilled and semi-skilled workers within the next six months. In Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Hartford, typical defense training centers, hundreds of men in responsible positions are devoting from two to three nights a week to instructing cbsses despite the increasing burden of overwork. Engineering, mechanical drawing, applied mechanics, metallurgical inspection, machine and tool design and ordnance are but a few of the types of training now being oflersd. At Hartford, United Aircraft's Pratt and Whitney Division has built a new school equipped to graduate 1.000 workers every month.

Three hundred plants in Cleveland have installed "in training classes. In the coastal cities, shipbuilders training classes are nearing the breaking point, the survey said, and the shortage of labor for this industry is increasing daily. The government, too, is training workers. At the Mare Island Navy Yard in San Francisco, there are 2.000 men in training and the plan Is to double that number.
