the war. One or the reasons IOr
the Army's success with DDT
is that only experts used 1t.
2. II cannot kill the larvae OF
clothes moths, and it is the lar
vac which eat the holes in your
overcoat. Properly applied, DOT
does kill adult moths in clothes
closet, but not before they would
have time to lay the eggs, which
became larvae.
3. DOT acts much slower than
most other commercial sprays.
1t takes up to an hour, some
times, before the insect dies aft
er contact. You can't spray a
room-full Of mosquitoes and kill
them Immediately, as you can
with most commercial insecti-
cides. DOT spray has to dry on
the walls, screens or furniture.
The insect must come in con-
tact with it, and then some As
minutes or so later it will die.
4. DOT is harmful to honey
bees and other beneficial insects.
It is highly toxic to fish and
certain other -blooded ami
mails.
5. Against the screwworm, the
heel fly or cattle grub, the CHG
ger, and the poultry mite, DOT
offers no protection.
6. Only some species OF ants
are affected by DOT. At best
most Of those can only be con-
trolled for a few weeks with a
time-consuming application. For
cockroaches DOT is not quite as
good as sodium flouride, which
has been used for many years.
7. If used In q water spray,
DOT leaves an undesirable
white dust on furniture and
walls. If used with kerosene or
other oil it can soil clothing
and furniture and is dangerous
as a fire hazard and to persons
and animals IL 1t touches the
skin.
USEFUL IN DIARIES
First reports of dots most
successful peacetime use Is from
dairy farmers. Sprayed around
barns 1t has been very effective
in killing flies which are carried
in on the cows.
Experiments with DOT as
spray for fruits and vegetables
are still in preliminary stages.
Already they show that DOT In
soil at the rate of Is pounds per
acre retards the growth Of most
kinds of beans, onions, spinach,
tomatoes, strawberry plants and
rye. In a few years Of spraying,
the land could accumulate in
furious amounts Of the chemi-
cal and make it unfit for use.
Some injury to squash and 9TH
or cucurbits has resulted from
light applications of the mate
rial.
Little Is known about the
toxic effect of DOT on humans.
So far there has only been one
reported death - in England
- and there was no official in
vestigation made OF it. Persons
who have worked with It and
have had most opportunity to
assimilate it in small amounts
report mild cases Of the filters
and nervousness.
1t Is not yet known how ef-
fective DOT will be against
mice and other rodents.
SOLUTIONS VARY
Much confusion has resulted
over the popular sale of DDT
recently. Most users will have
to learn what form or with what
solution they want to buy II
There's a very specialized form
of DOT for each use. Some deal
ers are reported selling very
weak solutions and making ex-
aggcrated claims for it. To pro-
tect themselves purchasers are
advised to read the labels care
fully and acquaint themselves
with the potency needed for the

Allied Action Spreads
On Italian Front
By the Associated Press.


ROME, Feb. 24.-Allied activity
intended to tie down a maximum
number of German divisions spread
along the 5th Army front in Italy
today, accompanied by a continued
aerial offensive from Italian bases
against the enemy's southern Euro
pean communications.
United States infantrymen and
Brazilian troops consolidated their
newly-won heights around Monte
Belvedere, 30 miles southwest of
Bologna. American raiding parties
punched into German fortified
holdings south of Bologna. Farther
to the right, artillery fire blasted
the enemy from some positions.
Key points in the network of rail-
roads in Northern Italy essential for
an enemy withdrawal behind the
Alps were left smoldering by more
than go hours of day and night
bombing by American and British
warplanes.
Several sharp German counterat-
tacks hurled against newly-won
American positions at Mt. Della
Torraccia have been beaten off
Allied headquarters announced.
Field Marshal Albert Kesselrine
in desperate bid to win back the
former German position south of
Bologna, marched some of his men
for six days and then loaded them
into trucks for the final dash to the
front.
On the 9th Army Adriatic front
the situation was reported Quiet.

RuhIand Has Prospect
For Clinic Post at $500

Health Officer George c. Ruhland
said yesterday that the "prospect"
he has in mind for the position of
psychiatrist in a proposed mental
health clinic would be interested"
in the post when the salary Is re-
classified at $500.
The Commissioners have agreed
to the higher salary, in place of the
$4,000 originally planned for the
position, but the matter must be
submitted to the Civil Service Com
mission
The 1945 budget provides $4,000
for clinics under a mental health
program, but inability to obtain
psychiatrists has made 1t impos-
sible to start the service. The clinic
will include work with alcoholics as
well as with juveniles and those now
in mental hospitals who need only
clinical care.

CavaIYmen Smash
Into Siegfried Line,
Break German Hold
BY THOBURN WANT,
Press War Correspondent

WITH THE Sd ARMY CAVALRY
MEN IN GERMANY. Feb. 24.-One
of the western fronts most daring
operations was staged by cavalry
men who smashed nearly two miles
into the Siegfried Line in two and
half hours, starting the breakup
of German resistance in the bulge
northeast of Vianden.
The Germans were so confused by
the bold thrusts yesterday that they
wandered around out of communica-
| ton with each other. Before the
day was over, more than 1000 -pris-
oners were taken.
The cavalrymen spared adroitly
with the Germans three days after
taking a four-mile square chunk of
the eastern bank of the Our River
opposite Vianden-the last part of
Luxembourg liberated. During nearly
every war, armies have passed
through this picturesque old world
town.
Sparring Tactics Used.
1t. Coils. Samuel Goodwin of
Washington, D. c., and Walter Day
Of Mount Pleasant, Tenn, used
sparring tactics to throw the Ger
mans off balance The plan worked
so we'll that cavalrymen broke into
10 German towns during the first
10 hours.
Two principal spearheads through
the Siegfried Line were directed by
Maj. Walter Mckenzie of Monte
yuma, Ga, and Capt. Shealy Mccoy
of Athens, Ga
Instead of using horses. the pop
ular conception of the cavalrymen's
mode of travel, some used armored
vehicles and tanks. Others, acting
as infantrymen, walked
Maj. McKenzie's band took off
several miles north of Vianden
through a maze of concrete and
steel Siegfried Line pillboxes. They
went so fast that many Germans
in the boxes did not know what was
happening. Others were so surprised
that they were unable to do any,
thing. AS a consequence German
resistance was light.
Germans Bewildered.
Other cavalrymen under Capt.
Mccoy went through the Siegfried
area opposite Vianden. The Ger
mans again were completely bewil-
dered. Capt. James Burke, formerly
OF Norwich College, Mass. led two
tank companies around the right
end, leading to even greater Ger
man confusion. Among the first
through the dragons teeth was 1t.
Edwin Kenny OF Atlanta, Ga.
Capt Robert Williams of East
Falls Church, Va, graduate of
the Virginia Military Institute, said
the cavalrymen ran into one Ger
man company command post, cap

high ranking officer. Maj. John
Vow of Valdosta, Ga, declared all
the pillboxes were manned.

sheltered road across Bataan about
six miles south of the Pilar-Bagac
highway, and in this makeshift
way we were able to maintain con-
tact with General Parker's forces
to the east of us.
Parker's Second Corps, l felt
certain, would receive the brunt of
the all-out. Jap attack when it did
come. The east coastal area of
southern Bataan is more of plain
than the central and western areas
we now held. The streams on the
east side of the peninsula tend to
run in a southwesterly direction.
On the side my First Corps de-
Tended, the streams normally run
due west and empty into the China
Sea. Thus any attack against the
First Corps would be handicapped
by stream crossings and success
sive ridges, whereas the Japs could
march down Parker side more or
less parallel to the streams.
Led often by Igorots, who magi-
caly knew their way about Bataan
even though they are mountain men
from North Luzon, l now sent out
a series of patrols into the Jap
lines. These remarkable forces,
some of them disguised in native
dress, were by best means OF re-
connaisance; often my only means.
From their reports I knew the
i position and movement of the Jap
forces gathering for an about at
tack, and what they told me OF
Jap troops and gear being moved
toward the east confirmed by be-
lief that Parker's Second Corps
would receive the brunt of the blow.
Then, late in the night of March
