as they ranged enemy shipping lanes
at will from the Netherlands East
Indies to Formosa.
Ground troops on Luzon Island,
meanwhile, continued pressure on
trapped Jap forces, but progress was
generally slow because Of the diff
ficult terrain.
The far-ranging bombers' struck
at military installations and fuel and
munitions dumps with heavy bomb
loads in a succession of raids. Two
Liberators exploded huge ammu-

Senator Wherry broke in to ask
"Do YOU think there is less black
market now than year ago?'
No. think there is more" Mr.
Emerson replied.
Senator Wherry said there was
certainly more in meat and that as
for used cars you can't buy a used

OPA official had gone on the radio

Senator Wherry added. that most
of your men are academic and don t
know what they are talking about. y
When Senator Wheeler argued
that if OPA had information on the
extent of black markets it should
put them out Of business. Mr.. Emer-
son replied that it would take a
much larger staff to enforce OPA
regulations than it does to find out
what is going on.

Mr. Emerson said OPA has 5000

of only one for every county in the

most of the charges proved to have

Black Market Estimate.
Senator Bushfield, Republican, of
South Dakota pressed Mr.. Emerson
for an estimate of what percentage
of meat sold in New York is black

From special observation planes in
which correspondents flew up and
down the edge Of the target area
for more than an hour at the height
of the bombardment, it was obvious
that the well-entrenehed Wehr-
macht defenders took a merciless
pounding. Although the weather
was clear and visibility good else
where, an enormous cloud of red
dish brown smoke billowed up about
1000 feet shrouding a strip several
miles wide close beyond our lines.
The Allied air fleet around the
target made an impressive spectacle.
Flights of heavies and mediums,
flashing in the sun. repeatedly
crossed our path as they swung out
over the embattled area. dropped
their loads and headed home in per-
feet formation. Fighters frisked
like birddogs around bomber groups,
alert for Luftwaffe opposition. A
few Nazi planes did come up but the
bombers went about their deadly
work pretty much unmolested.

tion of Constituent Assembly and for the continuation of the 3rd Republic.
 For them the 3rd Republic is not dead; it was simply laid aside by the events of 1940. Its institu- tions subsist still and it is these institutions = which should be charged with revising the Constitu- ton.
 Against Great Change
 Defended by Radical Socialist leader Edouard Herriot and right winger Louis Marin of the Fedora ton Republicaine is the thesis that the 4th Republic should be the direct issue of the 3rd and should not be based on a revolutionary act. Such an act, they say, is not necessary. A Constituent Assembly can only be justified when the prin- ciples of an anterior regime have been destroyed as was the case after 1848 when the monarchy per- ished or in 1870, when the Empire came crashing down. On those oc- casions something new had to be found. That is not the case today, this group argues. It is not ques- tion of replacing the Republic but of improving it.
 Gen. Charles de Gaulle has not yet made any direct or fortnight public declaration as to his pref erences in the matter. Neverthe- less, at recent press conference h obnquely indicated that he was envisaging third solution which would consist in submitting plan for a constitution to popular refer endum. The constitutional. plan thereby adopted would be elaborated by the present government and Ma tional Assembly and put into effect.

There was an immediate outcry of protest. For the French word referendum smashed all the much of the word "plebescite" one of the most unpopular words in France today, evoking as it does to the French mind unpleasant memories of similar operations which led to the dictatorial regimes in Germany and Italy. There is therefore, little chance this latter course will be adopted but 1t cannot be definitely disregarded.

Lead Arsenate One Method Of Control

mating this pest, is not plentiful, and the gardener should not delay the lead treatment. Lead arsenate, mixed with five times it's bulk of sand or dry soil, may be- applied at any time. It must be applied even- ly, raked so that it gets right down to the soil, and well watered in. This treatment, which lasts for at least five years, is equally good for the grubs of other insects hiber- mating in your lawn. The eggs will hatch into grubs even If the soil has been treated with lead arsenate but if the poison is in the soil, the grubs wll gradually die as they feed on the grass roots.
 Spraying or dusting with rotenone is probably the most effective re- pellant, and is the base for most special Japanese beetle sprays. Should rotenone be out of stock, lead arsenate will serve on ornamen tai trees and shrubs and hydrated lime on fruits and vegetables, Spray ing may have to be continued until early Autumn on plants like roses, while one spraying with lead arsen- ate at this time on shade trees will normally give protection for the season. A general preventive meas ure in the garden is to spray with one-quarter pound aluminium sul- fate, one and one-half pounds hy- drated lime to five gallons of wa ter.
 Traps with their bright yellow coats and sweet smelling oil bait attract many beetles but, unfortun- ately, catch relatively few If used, traps should be placed in the open and not in the garden or near plants which have proved attractive to the beetles.
