Ing him to rise and he appeared to

feet, turning to face the members.
Found Applause Embarrassing.
1t proved to be a round-faced, en-
barraSsed person in a high turn
over collar and blue serge suit
Herbert Hoover. The applause was
tremendous, quite equal to that
given President Wilson. More en-
barrassed than before, Hoover shook
off the suggestion that he speak
and quickly resumed his seat. He
very evidently did not wish to take
any OF the glory on that occasion
belonging to the American President.
The day before we had seen some
OF the reasons for Hoover's popular
ity. We had driven across Belgium
in little procession of cars that
carried the King and Queen and
their guests, President and Mrs.
Wilson. All along the route the
villages and towns had turned out
the school children to wave flags
and cheer. They were not the hol-
low-eyed, emaciated youngsters one
might have expected to see after
four years of war and German oc-.
cupation. Their clothes were poor,
but their eyes were bright and their
cheeks were rosy. When you asked
how this came to be, you were told
Hoover" He and his efficient
American Relief Administration had
somehow got food to the children
of Belgium, despite the war.
So the Belgians loved Hoover and
America. And SO President Truman
is wise to counsel with Hoover and
anybody else skilled in European
relief. We can use all the good will
1t is possible to develop in Europe.
We can use it for our own selfish
purpose, if anybody wants to call it
that, the purpose being to promote
peace. Peace is cheaper than war,
even when you count the cost of
temporary relief. Our contribution
OF 81 $50, 100000 to UNRRA is a
lot OF money, but it is less than the
cost OF six days of war.
Truman to Need Good win.
President Truman is being ad-
vlsed to pick up the role played by
President Roosevelt as mediator be-
tween European countries. Part of
Roosevelt's strength in this capacity
derived from our fighting forces and
our war production, part of 1t from
the general good will toward Amer
lea. With the war at an end, Presi-
dent Truman will have to depend
largely on this good will, good will
obtained In return for tangible
things like food.
The humanitarian impulse is
strong In Americans and yet we
have begun to hear complaints that
we are being starved in order to
pamper the people of other lands.

Last Tuesday night, found the
lambs turning into the well known
lion - Mount Carmel really opened
up on st. Hedwig. and when the
smoke of battle had cleared, they
had mopped the floor with the boys
from Detroit 50 to 80. Making up for
their slow playing against st. Pats
and their loss to st. Andrews, the
Comets led by Kurzenda went to
town. This gives Mount Carmel an
excellent chance now for the finals.
Kurzenda played one Of the best
games of his career and was high
point man for the locals. But too
much cannot be SAID about the
swell play Of the whole team.
The Legion Club House last Tues
day night was the scene for the
annual chin fest Of the Old Time
Ball Players Association meeting.
This meeting is held once year,
and all the Old Timers in the base
ball world Of Wyandotte in the past
80 years get together and talk over
old times. This Association was
originated back few years ago for
the purpose of holding these men
together-for the promotion of base
ball and for a number of other
worthy things. Last night, new Of
ficers were elected and Joe Ber-

WASHINGTON, April II -
R- Gen. George c. Marshall
has protested against members
of Congress visiting battlefronts
on their own.
One of President Roosevelt's
last communications to Congress
sional leaders included a mem
orandum on the subject from
the Army chief of staff. Mar
shall said the War Department
welcomed official overseas in
spections by Congressional SUBJ
committees but would prefer
that members not request trans
portation abroad as individuals.
Chairman Thomas (D-Utah)
said the memorandum was read
to the Military committee be-
fore it voted last Tuesday to
send a subcommittee to inspect
battlefronts.
AS he recalled, Thomas said,
the memorandum mentioned the
element of danger and the
strain imposed on commanding
officers in affording protection
for visitors.
Several House members re-
Gently have visited the Euro
pean fronts as individuals. Many
have gone to London as guests
of the British government, and,
once that close, the inclination
TO visit the battlefronts has
been strong.
Thomas said the Senate suo-
committee probably would not
be appointed for some time
since no Senator wants to leave

of a shift from one presidential
administration to another.

pyrethrum and rotenone. The
extremely favorable results of
the laboratory and field test in
1943 caused DDT TO become a
household word to millions OF
Americans who have never used
j. nor even seen il. To our armed
forces abroad, and to the inhao-
itants in many foreign lands, 1t
is a familiar and necessary mil
itary protection against insect
borne disease and death. u. S.
Army Medical Units thwarted a
typhus epidemic in the Naples
area by delousing several mil
lions of Italians with it.
Many wild claims have been
made for this chemical and 1t is
natural for farmers, gardeners
and housewives TO want to use
DDT now. Unfortunately some
of these claims are untrue.
ENEMY Of 80 PESTS
DDT insecticides were found
experimentally to be definitely
more effective than those cur
rently used for control of some
80 pests that attack field crops,
man, livestock and trees. Against
l9 other insects, DDT in these
tests were about equal to those
ordinarily used. Against IA i'm
portant destructive pests. includ-
ing the boil Weevil, they were
found TO have little or no effect.
The 80 pests against which ex-
periments show DDT TO be es-
pecially toxic include the cod
ling moth, cabbage looper, cot
ton flea-hopper, eastern tent cat
erpillar, elm bark beetle, green
striped maple worm, gypsy
moth, horn flies on cattle, jap
anese beetle, Lygus and four
other sucking bugs, pine saw
flies, spruce bud-worm, mosqui-
toes, bedbugs, three kinds of lice
on man, and house-flies and fleas

Experiments have shown that
DDT insecticides are about equal
10 other materials in effective
ness against these 18 pests: corn
ear worm, diamondback moth,
European corn borer, cockroacn-
es, grape berry moth, grasshop-
pers, imported cabbage worm,
oriental fruit moth, potato leaf
hopper, silverfish, and the fo!-
lowing stored product pests
cadelle, confused flour beetle,
granary weevil, Indian-meal
moth, lesser grain borer, red
-four beetle, rice weevil, and
sew-toothed grain beetle. In tests
carried on thus far DDT insecti-
cides have shown relatively little
or no effect against these IA
common pests: boil weevil, Cali
fornia red scale, cattle grubs, all
types of aphids, cotton leafworm
Florida red scale, Mexican bean
beetle, orchard mites, parlatoria
scale, plum curculio, red spider,
and sugarcane borer.

Unhappily DDT insecticides
have been found 70 kilg honey
bees and other pollinating IN
sects on which fruit and seed
crops depend for fertilization
Parasites and predators which
help to hold in check many
harmful pests are also destroyed.
A serious problem is how TO use
DDT to kill injurious pests WITH
out too great defamation OF In
sects beneficial to man.
The war situation makes in
advisable any prediction regard
ing availability of DDT for CIV
ilian use. Even if supplies were
available, DDT insecticides
could not be generally recon-
mended at this time.

New President
Awakens With
the Dawn!

WASHINGTON, April II -
(P) President Truman is a de-
votee of the dawn.
His staff made it clear today
that the new Chief Executive
plans to start each days work
at a.m.-at the latest.
That hour. said Col. Harry
Vaughan, the Presidents mill
tary aide, applies only to the
days when MIR. Truman over
sleeps.
II might as we'll let you boys
know right now," Vaughan told
reporters, "the President is an
early riser. He used to live on
the farm, you know"
Rubbing his own sleepy eyes,
Matt Connolly, the one-time
Clinton, Mass. resident who is
slated to be Mr.. Truman's prin-
cipal secretary, added:
"We can't tell how late the
Presid mt may stay. He can
stand a lot of work, and he
doesn't mind late hours.
Mr.. Truman met for more
than an hour yesterday with
Robert E. Hannegan, chairman
of the Democratic national COM
mittee, and Ed Pauley Of Cali
fornia, committee treasurer.
There has been some pres
sure for Pauley's appointment
as federal loan administrator,
succeeding Fred M. Vinson, now
director of war mobilization and
reconversion.
However, Hannegan told re-
porters that jobs were not dis
cussed. Questions whether Han
negan might be considered for
postmaster general brought only
the comment that he was "anx-
ious to serve the President in
whatever may be needed"
The same answer, he said,
could be given to questions con-
corning Pauley.
Meanwhile James F. Byrnes,
former war mobilizer, reiterated
that he has no plans to enter the
Truman administration in other
than an unofficial, advisory ca
pacity.
