fore us. They have given US some
comprehensive reports.
Strange as it may seem, there are
only few vegetables that are both
cred by this pest, and only two OF
them seriously-sweet corn and soy
beans. Beans, asparagus and rhu-
barb are only moderately attacked.
Most Of the commonly grown fruits
in this area are seriously affected.
The beetles normally appear early
in May and continue in large num-
bers until in August, although some
will be about until IN September.
This emergence in late spring, just
when our roses are coming into
their prime, IS probably most dis
couraging to rose growers, who hate
to see clusters Of the beetles in every
open blossom. Early In August the
beetles deposit their eggs in the soil
and a new life cycle is commenced.
The eggs soon hatch and the larvae
tunnel into the soil, where they feed
upon the roots Of plants during the
fall, winter and early spring.
We have long blamed the June
beetles for injuring our lawns by
feeding upon the roots Of the grass
Perhaps they were partially respon-
sible for the moth-eaten appear
ances Of our lawns. Now that we
also have the grubs (larvae) Of the
Jap beetle feeding on the roots
good lawns may be even harder to
attain. The entomologists have
recommended the use Of lead ar
senate a0 pounds per 1000 square
feet) as means Of killing the grube
(both kinds) and protecting ouy
lawns. The application should be
mixed with an equal quantity OF
sand or soil to facilitate spreading

A Remarkable Map

The many members Of the Ma
tional Geographic society have re-
ceived the remarkable new map Of
Japan and adjacent regions put out
recently by that organization.
This is the first time that de-
tailed map has been computed with
the geographic heart of Toxic as its
center. The National Geographic
Bulletin states that the exact spot
is Tokio's central railway station
about which cluster the imperial pal
ace. the central post office and the
Marunouchi building, one Of the
city's largest official structures.
The map has been compiled Of
entirely new base material and Is
being used by the general staff and
other government departments
which opened their files to the Ma.
tional Geographic researchers for
its preparation.
Just because we have our eyes on
western Europe at the moment Is no
reason why we should forget what Is
going on In the Pacific. Fortunately,
our forces have been built up there
to the point where we can carry on
simultaneous action with the move
ments OF the armies In Europe.

HoW Did the Enemy Feel?

Temperatures rose and fell for
many days thereafter but the peaks
and valleys Of emotion In this coun-
try could have been nothing COM
pared with those of our enemies. As
yet we cannot know exactly what
the German pulse beat was when
our forces reached their shores after
all the Boosting about Hitler's West
Wall; or how kimonos huttered
when the Japanese homeland was
ruthlessly hammered by an engine
OF war more terrible than any they
expected eXisted--or when Ameri-
can naval guns roared in the
Kuriles and the Bonins. almost In
Hirohito's back yard.
It takes some time to assay the
morale in enemy lands, but thanks
to certain reports which have al
ready reached the Allied capitals we
can gauge the mental state of the
population in Germany.
Some Of the information comes
from secret sources which may not
be disclosed lest they give a hint
TO the gestapo as to whom or where
the sources are. One such report
speaks OF that spectre 1.-THE third

We also urge that such facili-
ties be made available as nearly as
possible on a population percent
age basis so as to be in sufficient
number to meet the needs of the
entire community.
EXAMPLE: One tennis court
cannot meet the need of the. pres
ent Negro population. According
to standard planning there should
be one court for every 1000 pop
ulation. We do not ask that, or
expect this to be a wide program,
but we do hope that they will be
sufficient in number and so spae-
ed as to be easily accessible to
the entire community.
In furtherance of the plan, we
wish to offer, in terms Of joint
planning and coordination of eff
fort, the facilities of the Urban
League offices and personnel in
bringing into reality a successful.
well rounded city wide program of
recreation.

Urban League
Offers Program
For Recreation

The Urban League of Greater
Little Rock is studing the facili-
ties available and necessary for
an adequate program of recreation
for the Negro community, both
seasonal and year round, and
make the following observations.
First, there are no adesuate
municipality supported recreation
facilities. Limited, unsupervised,
seasonal facilities do exist under
the sponsorship of the board of
education, in the form of school
play grounds in some of the school
yards. These however, are either
closed during the summer months
or are sporadieally used by un-
supervised groups.
Recognizing the importance of
supervised recreation as a neces-
sary phase of we'll rounded, well
balanced life for all age groups,
the Urban League, through its
board OF directors, submits the
following suggestions:
That a study OF the recreation
needs Of the Negro communities
be made with a view to full in
clusion in the anticipated city-wide
and-or state-controlled program
of recreation. That plans for the
establishment Of the following IA
cilities be made, sufficient to
meet permanent and growing de-
mands:
1. Fairgrounds children. g.
Is, inclusive.)
a. Could include school play
grounds. for after-school and va
cation periods.
2. Playfields; diversified rec
reation for young people and
adults.
a. For specialized games.
3. Special Recreation Areas.
a. Baseball and softball dia-
monds.
b. Outdoor swimming pools.
I. Tennis Courts.
5. Other game courts and
fields. .
In the area OF year round ia
cilities, the Negro community has
no recreational building for pro-
grams of recreation. There is a
specific need for a special recrea-
ton or community center to in
clude the following activities of
diversified recreation
A. Gymnasium for;
/. Basketball
z. Assembly hall general,
with removable seats).
3. Indoor swimming pool.
A. Club and game rooms for
prngram of group work.
5. Other recommended fea-
lures.
a. Such as Health center with
Well Baby and Parental Clinic.
We further urge that the plans
include the operation of these
facilities under competent, train
ed supervisors Of various levels,
such training to be received in

In the last days Of June when the

many's secret weapon" the robot
plane. . scene which I Witnessed
some three decades ago returned to
haunt me. stood In a large tent
with . crowd Of people, oh-ing and
ah-ing at . mechanical miracle we
were witnessing. II was In Germany.
Before US stood 4 pompous gentle
man In evening clothes with fero.
cious mustachios. He had a wand
In his hand and with 1t directed the
movement Of beautiful little dirigi-
BILE about three feet long, a perfect
replica Of the zeppelins which we're
Just beginning to be talked about.
It did look rather startling. The
unpressario moved his wand to the
eight and the miniature dirigible
started off around the top Of the
tent. its tiny propellers whirring. He
dipped his wand and the little ship
uosed down and began to descend.
He traced a graceful circle upward
and the ship assembled and re-
produced his movement in the
air. Finally, after performing all
sorts of such feats it gracefully de-
scended and landed on a table.
II was an impressive sight but
afterwards an American engineer
who had witnessed the display ex-
nlained to me that it was all per
~ctly simple" He said the wand
was merely signal to a man con-
cealed from the audience who sat
before an electric switchboard and
controlled the ship by radio. Since
then many experiments have been
carried on by this type Of remote
control but so far a. ! know II has
not been used in any engines Of war.
Naturally. when I f1r3t read the
news Of the robots. the picture Of
the little zeppelin foated into my
mind. Experts admit that the Ger
man pilotless planes are nothing
but rockets and they can be sent In
only the general direction Of their
targets. But the same experts freely
admit that there could be radio-con-
trolled pilotless planes.
I mention the rocket attacks
not 90 much TO emphasize The last
hysterical gesture Of the writhing
Teuton. but because they mark an
important milestone In the psyche
logical battle whose frenzy has
mounted in these weeks since the
invasion. The robot attack was not
nearly as much of an offensive a.
. defensive stroke. Reports reach
ing Washington In the last days indi-
cate that there Is . defeatist
psychosis mounting In Germany.
That this bit Of Buck Rogers fantasy
was to be an antidote. Is clear from
