two methods are employed. On
involves a search for adult beetle
during their period of creates
abundance. The other is accom-
plished by digging for larvae I'm
der plants showing physical dis
tress symptoms such as discolora
ton and wilt. The latter procedure
is usually employed in the spring
fall, and, to a lesser degree, win
ter months.
Especial emphasis is placed or
the inspection of railroad car stor.
age yards, sidings, cotton gins,
warehouse areas, processing
plants, nurseries, concentration
centers and community gathering
places, experience having proven
such sites to be the most likely
sources of infestation.
The suppression of known popu-
lations of the beetle is accom-.
plished by the application of con-
troll measures. These measures
are an integral part of the pro-
gram designed to prevent the
artificial and natural spread Of
white-fringed beetles from infested
areas. Methods employed to ac.
complish control include the ap-
plication during the adult beetle
season of insecticides and herb
icides. Sterilization and funiga.
ton procedures have also been
developed to accomplish this OBJ
jective.
The quarantine phase of the pro-
gram is especially instrumental
In preventing the spread of the
insect to distant points. Quaran
tines promulgated by the North
Carolina Department of Agricul-
ture and U. S. Department of Agri,
culture are in force to prevent
these pests from being carried to
an1ntested parts of North Carolina
Or to other States. Such materials
and commodities as soil, nursery
stock, hay, white potatoes, pea
nuts, cotton, scrap metal, nipple. |
nents, machinery, forest products |
and building materials must be |
authorized for movement by in
spectors as apparently beetle-free
before being moved out Of reg
ulated areas.
Inspection service and informa.
ton is available without charge
in all regulated areas in North
Carolina and the cooperation of
the public in conforming with the
quarantine requirements is solicit

New Orleans Cotton
Exchange Has Birthday

Exchange famous in world cot.
ton circles.
Hester had two guiding prin-
ciples-one that accurate informa.
ton, and plenty of it, about the
cotton markets Of the world was
essential to cotton trading. His 9th.
err cardinal tenet called for free
trading in buying and selling OF
cotton futures the purchase
or sale, as insurance, Of cotton fol-
a future delivery.
Hester dedicated his career to
selling the cotton trade on these
points. He lived to see his system
Of statistics collection and market
reporting adopted throughout the
world, and his sponsorship Of the
future" market seconded by the
worlds cotton brokers.
The Exchange members met to
trade for the first time on Feb. 20,
1871, in rented rooms. The first
days trade in futures was 1900
bales. In later years the futures"
business on the New Orleans Ex-
change rose to as high as $4,000
bales a day, and Sc million bales a
year. Spot cotton sales in the Ex-
change pit-cotton delivered on the
day it is sold-has passed $4,000
bales a day, and reached 2,750, 900
bales year at times.
Hester ruled the Exchanged for
81 years, retiring in 1932-at the age
of 86-as secretary-emeritus. When
he retired, his successor was hand
picked. Henry Plauche, who sue
ceeded him, had been hired in
1897 as $20-per-month messenger,
and in 1903 had become Hester's
assistant.
The rented room which first
housed the Exchange is now a
seven-story $1,222, $50 building. But
the trading process that goes on
within is essentially the same or.
ganized bedlam.
The pit is at one end of vaulted
tWo-story room. Above it is a
large blackboard, on which cur
rent quotations at the leading mar
kets of the world are posted.

IS Million Lease-Lend
Grant Is Reported
forced on Colombia
By Steffon Andrews


The United States gave the Co.
lombian government $4,000, 900
in lease-lend during the war, de-
spite representations by the
Colombian President that ST.
100000 was all that was needed
by that country, it was learned
today.
A high official diplomatic source
revealed for the first time that
Washington military and lease-lend
officials insisted on giving Colombia
this huge grant, despite protests of
American Embassy officials that the
lower figure was more than ade-
quate to cover the South American
country's wartime needs.
The 100000 was requested by
Colombia's former President, Ed
uardo Santos, in 1910, and the SIS
100000 grant was awarded in 1941,
1t was disclosed.
In subsequent negotiations, the
diplomatic official declared, this
100000 figure actually was boost
ed to a $l6,000,000 lease lend credit.
but with actual billing against the
Colombian government reduced 10
s6.500,000.
Transaction Called Fantastic"
Under the lease lend settlement
being worked out between the two
countries, he said. less than half the
final amount will now have to be
paid back to the United States.
The details of this hitherto un-
disclosed lease-lend transaction
termed lone of the most fantastic
in our South American dealings"
was revealed as Colombias newly
elected President, DR.. Ospina Perez,
was visiting Washington on the per-
sonal invitation of President Tru-
man.
Neither Colombian Embassy Off
Gals nor State Department lease
lend officers would comment on the
transaction. One department lease
lend official insisted that no settle
ment had been worked out yet"
The diplomatic source, who asked
anonymity because of his official
position, said that to his knowledge
DR.. Perez had no connection with
the loan transaction, since all the
negotiations were carried on during
the preceding administration of
President Santos.
Funds Asked for Patrol Boats.
He said President Santos turned
down demands of his military lead
ers for big lease-lend grant and
instead asked Washington for 81
100000. This amount was agreed to
by American Embassy officials who
thought it would save American
taxpayers some money"
President Santos original modest
request of S2000.000 would have in
cluded only !ease-lend ~atrol 800
to build up the country's coast
guard, and badly neeuea Ut. -.,I
repairs on the countrys two over
age destroyers.
When the 100000 request came
up for approval by Washington,
however. stunned Embassy officials

cept the huge amount and countered
with proposal that the United
States give Colombia $4,000 900 at 4
per cent interest payable in 10
years. This was turned down by the
United States.
Ultimately, the full amount Of
the larger grant was awarded and
the unneeded lease-lend equipment
started pouring into Colombia. The
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-06-13

were informed that higher off,
Gals" wanted to give the Colombian
government $15O00,000 and that
Embassy officials had better hold
their tongues.
Counter Proposal Made.
Here is the sequence of events
from then on, according to the dip
lomatic official:
The $l5,000000 later was sug-
gested as loan. with 100000 of
the amount returnable in ST 900 900
yearly installments for eight years.
But there would be no interest.
President Santos refused to ac-
