Plague to Strike MoryIond's
Japanese Beetles in Sprinq

ground to a pulp mixed with cheap
talcum powder.
The product is slowed away in
sacks to be kept until spring, when
it will be sowed in the soil Of
susceptible" Maryland areas, where
the beetle grubs will be feeding.
DR.. George S. Langford, insect
control specialist at the university
who Is working out the program,
estimates that by next spring there
will be enough plague" to care for
1000 square miles, spreading it in
an average of three square acres to
the mile. It takes about Is grub
worms to treat each acre of ground
DR.. Langford said. BY next spring
he hopes to collect 250,000 more
grubs.
He said the Department OF Agri-
culture has been working on the
new method for several years and
that the university is preparing to
apply it in cooperation with the
department and the county COM
missioners of % Maryland Counties.
"Of course we don't predict i'm
mediate large scale results-per-
haps not even for three or four
years." he cautioned, but we do
believe it has promising future. ="
The work, which began week
ago, is being done under the super
vision of DR.. T. B. Symons of the

Independent Offices Bill
Expected 10 Pass Today

With the economy bloc already on
the defensive, the Senate was ready
for the resumption today of a floor
fight on the independent Offices ap-
preparation bill. In the House, how
ever, in the midst of action on the
State-Justice- Commerce appropria-
ton bill, economy was still the
watchword after a vote yesterday to
eliminate 100000 for experts" in
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins Of
flee.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
predicted the Senate would pass the
independent Offices bill today. Yes
terday, by vote of 81 to "a, the
Senate refused to pare $1,000, 900 off
this appropriation by reduction in
funds for maintenance Of air naviga-
tion facilities under the Civil Aero
nautics Authority. Although no
money was directly involved, the
Senate voted down a motion to pro-
hibit the Veterans Administration
from serving butter substitutes to
inmates of its institutions.
The independent Offices bill at the
opening of today's debate stood
$55,010,945 below the amount re-
quested by President Roosevelt in
his budget message. The chief
points of disagreement with the
House, which passed the bill earlier,
is that the Senate added $39,000,-
600 to the appropriation of the
Maritime Commission and restored
$4,000 for the National Resources
Board.

A sudden plague will strike Mary
lands expected swarms Of Japanese
beetles this spring before they can
take their disastrous toll Of farm
produce.
A man-made plague called the
milky white" disease, 1t is born in
the test tube and incubated in
thousands Of captive grubworms, all
potential beetles which will be the
worst enemy Of their own kind.
Each day at the University of
Maryland, laboratory technicians
seated before microscopes with
hypodermic needles attached to
their bases inject a bacteria solution
into trays full of the 25O000 grubs
that were collected in Cecil County
before the ground froze.
Each infected grub is placed in a
separate cell of a box with capacity
for 500 worms, which in turn is taken
to an underground incubating room
where the temperature remains con-
stant at IS degrees. For the next 10
to IL days the grub feeds on choice
clover seed mixed in the dirt of it's
compartment. At the same time the
disease grows to point where each
grub contains three to five million
spores. At the end Of the period the
worm dies, leaving bacteria ridden
body tissues, which along with those
of hundreds of other grubs are

Gasoline Sales Probe
Authorized in Virginia
By STAT Correspondent Of The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 8.-Con-
currence in a Senate Joint resolu-
ton by both houses had cleared the
way today for a Statewide probe
OF gasoline marketing practices.
Delegate w. N. Neff of Abingdon
sought unsuccessfully to have the
resolution referred to committee
yesterday in an effort to give more
time for study. He said he did not
believe in hasty investigation of
business when business is already
handicapped by many governmental
restrictions.
Delegate Maitland H. Bustard of
Danville explained that retail
prices varied greatly in various
parts Of the State and that some
commercial establishments and
large consumers were receiving
gasoline at less cost than does the
general public.
The resolution, which received
favorable action yesterday, author
ICES Attorney General A. P. Staples
to conduct any investigation he may
deem necessary into the marketing
practices.
When the attention of Senator
Morton G. Goode Of Dinwiddie
County, patron Of the measure, was
called to the lower District of Co.
lumbia prices" charged by retail
ers in the metropolitan areas of
Washington in Virginia, he declared:
"The resolution was not designed
to investigate those dealers. I would
hate to see them have to raise their
prices to the standard Virginia rate,
because 1t would be ruinous to the
business"
