Warren Stresses
Tax Reduction
In Club Address

SAN FRANCISCO. March 81.
UP)-Governor Earl Warren late
Friday defended his stand against
tax increases by denying the right
of government to take mere money
than it needs from the pockets of
its citizens.
Speaking before the California
Commonwealth club, Warren said;
THE government has no right to
collect from the people at any given
time. more money than necessary to
perform adequately its functions
and reasonably safeguard the fu-
ture.
Raising taxes at this time seri-
ously would affect the solvency of
the state, not only because of the
increased appropriations that would
be necessary. but even more so be-
cause it would open the floodgates
to that kind of spending in the fu-
ture."

himself, without any help.

DOT Proves to
Be Medical Ace
Say New Insecticide May
Revolutionize Living in
World of Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. - "DDT," the
war = developed insecticide which
may revolutionize living in the
world of tomorrow by controlling GER
tain diseases, is now a medical big
shot and is being sprayed from
trucks and airplanes to protect our
soldiers but it first proved its worth
on a mass scale beneath the dirty,
flowing robes of l~ouse-ridden Arabs
and under the drab garb of inmates
Of French prisons in Africa.
North Africa with SITS sweating
millions and unsanitary conditions
was chosen, the army says, as the
initial tough proving ground for
"DDT," the chemical which in labo-
ratory and small scale human tests
had shown sensational promise as
a killer of malaria bearing mosqui-
toes and typhus fever bearing body
lice.
"DDT" or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
chloroethane-was developed as an
insecticide in this country early
last year, says the Chicago Tribune.
Midway in 1913, after louise pow
ders and mosquito and fly sprays
had been developed, Col. William S.
Stone, chief of the army's pre-
ventive medicine section in North
Africa, obtained supplies of both and
undertook the venture of trying
them on a broad scale.
Strategy Is Needed.
His little office on the steaming
Algerian waterfront, the army says,
was "pervaded by the ascending
smell of sweating Arabs and decay
ing fish," There the American
scientist mapped his strategy.
He knew that American soldiers
had partial protection against ty-
plus because all of them were vac
cinated, but there still was the
problem of the unvaccinated ma
tives in the African theater-and he
knew that most of them were crawl
ing with lice.
To get at the lice which carry
typhus, Stone knew he had to get
down to the dusky hides of the
natives. His plan was to send ty-
plus control teams or "louse kill
among the natives with the
offer of busting them with louise
powders, free of charge.
Stone had improvised dust guns
could be inserted up a mans
sleeve-or down a woman's back
SO that the busting could be done
without the removal of clothing, an
point in a land where the
natives keep their clothes on for
months at a time.
French colonial officials shrugged
incredulously when they heard of
plan.
you'll get nowhere with the
Arabs" one said.
But Stone was convinced that the
,heiks and their followers would like
stop scratching. So he and his
teams started making the
'ounds of a few villages. Many ma
ives fed to the hills, but word soon
,ot around that at long last an itch
ess nights sleep was to be had in
I'D Araby through the courtesy
# the Yankees and their magic
white dust.
Native dock workers were next.
md it was found that if the men
we're busted only once a month, the
ice could be kept at a safe level"
though the men were exposed
o lice in their own homes.
That was all the proof the ma
ives needed generally. Stone and
is CT busters did a rushing bust
less. Natives focked to the busting
tations as to a county fair.
ALI this time, American soldiers
yere busting their own indies with
ocket-size cans of "DDT." At the
nd of 1913 only II mild cases of
yphus fever, with no deaths, had
ccurred among all the American
