RICHMOND, Va, April 3O.-G. T.
French, State entomologist, said to-
day that the periodical cicada, "17-
year locust" as it is popularly called,
appeared last week on schedule, al
though several days earlier than
expected, the arrivals being discov-
cred in the west end of Richmond.
Mr.. French said the last recorded
"visit" of the cicada was in 1928.
Many people are. very much
alarmed" Mr.. French said, when
swarms of cicada are seen and heard
because they Immediately have
visions of the ancient locust plague
of Egypt. They are needlessly
alarmed, however, because our
cicada is. not related to the insects
of Biblical times and does not de-
stroy extensive areas of foliage"
The State entomologist said that
no satisfactory method of control
ing the insect is known.
Earlier records of this brood in
Virginia, he said, show that it has
appeared in 38 counties in the Mid
die and Northern Piedmont, ex-
tending from Loudoun and Fairfax
south to Mecklenburg and Henry,
and east Of the Blue Ridge.

House Hurries 10 Strip
Fleeing War Criminals
OF Neutral Sanctuary
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The House hastened today to
snatch the sanctuary of neutral
countries from Nazi war GRIM
inalS.
Without awaiting a formal report
from congressional committees
inspection of German atrocity
camps, the House scheduled debate
on a resolution calling on the Gov
ernment to use arms if necessary to
capture war criminals who seek
refuge behind the boundaries of
peaceful nations.
Representative Luther A. John
son, Democrat, of Texas, acting
chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, predicted the resolution
would be approved overwhelmingly
and sent on to the Senate.
The resolution came up early In
legislative week to be devoted
largely to foreign affairs debate.
At the top of today's House cal
endar was legislation to put the
United States into an international
food organization. Tomorrow it
opens debate on a proposed con-
stitutional amendment to scrap the
Senate's exclusive control over
treaties and make future peace
pacts subject to ratification by both
branches of Congress.
Passed After Atrocity Stories.
The war criminals resolution, writ
ten by Representative King, Demo-
crat, of California, was approved
unanimously by the Foreign Affairs
Committee shortly after stories of
Nazi atrocities began coming out
of Germany.
1t urges the Government to make
the pursuit, trial and punishment
of war criminals a definite United
States policy without regard for in
ternational boundaries. It does not
have the force Of law, but it would
serve as congressional backing for
President Truman who last week
joined with Prime Minister Church.

warning the perpetrators Of Ger
man atrocities they cannot escape
| from their crimes.
The resolution-aimed at the
highest Nazi ofacials-also con-
strues as war criminals industrial
lists who use slave labor and the re-
sources of conquered nations to pro-
duce armaments for the enemy.
Orders War Criminals Capture.
1t calls upon the Government Ito
join with other nations in the use
of such means as may be necessary,
irrespective of the limitations of
any treaties of extradition, to secure
the person or property of those per-
sons determined to be war criminals
who have already fed, or who may
hereafter fee, to any neutral nation,
or any other nation. that may har-
Dor them or afford them a place of

.WPB Eases Controls
On Factory Building
10 Aid Employment
BY the Associated Press.


Bars against construction of
plants for civilian goods produc-
ton were lowered one notch to-
day as the Government worked
rapidly to head off unemploy-
ment resulting from munitions
cutbacks after We day.
The War Production Board Of
fered manufacturers priority help
and urged them to file 1mmedi-
ately" if they need it to construct ad-
ditions or make alterations In their
plants in order to get fast start
on civilian goods production when
the reconversion green light is
flashed.
The agency also extended to all
industries the same priority help in
obtaining new machine tools and
peacetine plant equipment recently
promised the automobile industry.
Production officials were expected
to continue revoking scores of minor
restrictions on civilian production.
Forty-one such regulations were
dropped Saturday as WPB worked
feverishly to get as much prepara-
tory work as possible accomplished
before the fighting in Europe halts.
War Manpower Commission Of
lcials meanwhile disclosed a COM
plete program mapped for the year
after Germany's collapse, based on
the prediction substantial" num-
Der of workers will be idle tenn
porarily in the first three months.
VINO said it expected this period
to be followed in the next six months
by a rapid tightening of the labor
market as major industries swing
into volume production.
To protect war industry from an
exodus of workers at that time,
VINO proposes to retain virtually all
its wartime labor controls-except
over women workers-in those cities
where manpower continues scarce.
Also the compulsory 48-hour week
will be retained in shortage areas
to keep weekly pay checks fatter
and thus more alluring to workers
than the earnings in areas which
go back to the 40-hour standard.
WPB's invitation to manufacture
ers to order bottleneck machine
tools and make necessary plant
changes was hedged with safeguards.
Entire new plants will not be au-
thorized; approval will be granted
for only what is needed for pro-
duction at the minimum economic
rate" Chairman j. A. Krug said.
For the most part, the revoked
orders affected such basic industries
as public utilities, railroads, con-
struction and similar industries.
They mean little to the public so far
as any immediate increase in the
supply of consumer goods is con-
cerned.
