Mighty Minnow Minimizes MoIorio Mosquito Menace
By a Coast Guard Correspondent

AT A COAST GUARD BASE SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA (SpeciaD .-Malaria-con officers in this sector are using dynamite and bombs against mosquitoes in- stead of Japs, and they have the wholehearted cooperation of the Betty Grable of the minnow family.
 The queen of minnows, with a figure that quickens the eye and the grace of a ballet dancer, is known as a gambusia. It feeds on the larvae of the anopheles mosquito, carrier of the deadly malaria. American and Australian malaria control officials, according to Dr. Gulf E. Hopla, have been hatching the gambusia in large quantities for stocking stagnant pools of water near Coast Guard, Navy, Marine, and Army bases here.
 In cases where a stagnant pool is too infested for the gambusia alone to cope with, Dr. Hopla and his associates plant dynamite sticks and blow the pool out of existence, thus destroying the breeding grounds.
 Sometimes aerosol "bombs" are employed. They are not explosive in character but produce a continu- ous, poisonous spray that kills rot only mosquitoes but flies and Ter insects. The "bombs" are a1out the size of small fire extinsl,s

 "As soon as this Douglas is in operation, services will be step- ped up to as many as 15 round trip flights a week from Seattle and Fairbanks" said Roscoe. "From then on, flights will be added to meet demands for ad- ditional service"

To the Editor, The Union Times:
 In supporting the recent Su- preme Court decision, railroad unions vs. Negro members, Justice Murphy, according to the report in The Union Times, made his own emphatic statement as follows {: ''The constitution voices its dis approval whenever economic dis continuation is applied under authority of law against any race, creed or color. A sound democracy cannot allow such discrimination to go unchallenged."
 The Equal Rights Amendment to the constitution would add the word ''sex" after ''color" to Jus tice Murphy's statement. Would the A. F. of L. object to that?
 Dr. Albert B. Wolfe, former president of the American Eco homie Association, in support of the Amendment, said in his recent presidential address: The basic values of civil democracy ''are individual liberty and equality be- fore the law. It is epitomized in the Bill of Rights, which we did not rediscover until after Pearl Harbor. But the Bill of Rights needs to be extended and inter- preted in the light of the princi- pies of economic and ethical de- mocracy. Equality before the law cannot be limited by sex or race. Yet we know that it is. Women are not persons in the light of the United States Constitution. The civil righs they have can be taken away by legislative act.''
 Not so with the Negro fremen. Bester W. Steele. We are glad to find that the constitution is his protection.
 Should not women also be re- garded as persons (the constitu- tional word interpreted as ''male) !? This question is addressed to the publishers of The Union Times, the Connecticut State Building Trades and Construction Council, and the New Haven Central Labor Council, and their national organ ization, the American Federation of Labor.
