Fire boys were kept on the jump today, with three fire calls, one during the early morning and two in the afternoon.
 This mornings fire, at 5 o'clock, was the result of defective fur mace at the residence of Mike Kacejko at 534 Twelfth Street. Con- siderable damage was done to the basement of the house, with only smoke damage in the upstairs.
 At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon a call was answered by the Fire De- partment, when a short circuit in a radio at the Ed Howell residence in the Evergreen Apartments re- suited in a fire. Loss of a radio and an electric clock was about the only damage according to re- ports.
 Just as the truck rolled into the station another blast was sent out. and firemen were called to Mike Vegge's apartments on Will loughby Avenue. A chimney fire was extinguished with only slight damage resulting.

OLDpOYD GIVES METHODS FOR
 PEST CONTROL
Extension Service DireGtor Has Helpful lnformd-
 lion for Gardeners

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June "A Methods of controlling late blight of potatoes, cutworms and root maggots were described here today by L. T. Oldroyd, director of the University of Alaska extension ser vice, who has been conducting meetings for gardeners in South eastern Alaska.
 The potato blight is prevalent wherever the white potato IS grown being more destructive in northern climates where the season IS short and cool. First evidence of the dis ease is brown spots on the leaves which increase in diameter and sometimes attain a purpllsh hue. If weather continues moist and warm, & white and fuzzy growth IS observable on which spores are pro duced that disseminate the disease.
 Hits Vine
 The entire plant may wilt though chief damage comes from destruc- tion of the vine or aerial part of the potato, reducing the crop Of tubers in proportion to the infected surface of the plant. The same fungus, however. may start a rot, or it may be washed into the ground and cause brown spots of a rather sunken nature that don't penetrate deeply into the potato itself.
 i Only careful selection of seed po- tatoes will help much in control of the blight disease, MT. Oldroyd states. Standard remedy in the field is Bordeaux mixture that can be purchased ready-made in paste or powder form. Only a thorough application is worthwhile and the leaf surface should be covered with fine spray of Bordeaux on upper

SPECULATION ABOUT LATE
 RUSS MOVE

MOSCOW, June 24.-An asser- tion made in a Soviet midnight communique that Russian units have struck German defense lines west of Belgorod stirred specula- tion among Moscow military ob- servers today, since the town on the lower central part of the front has long been in German hands.
 Belgorod is 40 miles northeast of Kharkov, which is also held by the Germans.
 Whether the reported Soviet ac- tion west of Belgorod means the Russians have captured it recently without making any public an- nouncement, or merely slipped around the town in quick thrust. remains to be explained here.
 Except for this sortie, the land front continued in a lull while the Red air force kept up destructive raids against enemy airdromes.
