are not fully known, their use has
not yet been recommended to the
American farmer or to the gen.
eral public by the Department of
Agriculture's Bureau of Ento-
mology and Plant Quarantine.
The bureau is studying possible
effects of the four insecticides on
man, animals, wildlife, plants,
soils, and beneficial insects.
1865 Is A Killer
Chlorinated hydrocarbon, called
"1068", is considered more deadly
than DOT to a number of insect
pests. Among these are the house.
fly, the American cockroach, the
Colorado potato. BEETLE, the pea
aphid, and the squash bug.
Against grasshoppers in alfalfa it
has killed 80 to 100 percent of
these inserts at the time of treat
ment.
Sprays containing very small
amount of "1O68" per gallon of
water, applied at the rate of one
gallon per square yard, killed all
Japanese BEETLE larvae in the
area. This insecticide showed
some promise against the tar
nished plant bug on cotton and
lygus bugs on alfalfa.
Hexaethyl tetraphosphate has
been particularly effective in ex-
perimental use against several
sucking insect pests and mites
which damage fruit and other
food plants. Although it is highly
toxic to man and animals, it de-
composes rapidly. Therefore, its
residues may be of little hazard
to people and animals when
sprayed on fruits, vegetables or
forage crops.
When properly diluted, hexa-
ethyl tetraphosphate apparently
does not injure plants. OF 1873 diff
ferent plant species in green
houses, only tomato and chrysan-
themum were injured following
aerosol applications of the insecti-
eide. Complete control of certain
greenhouse mites Was obtained
following applications at 3-day
intervals.

FOR A VETO THAT WILL STICK

AS WAS ANTICIPATED the Senate and House conferees
a have agreed on ant-union measure which includes
all the features of the Taft BILL adding some addl-
tiona wrinkles to make it poisonous, though
of the obvious crudtes OF the Hartley bill have
been eliminated.
The bill is designed to do the maximum of damage to
labor unions and the workers rights without alternating
many of the Senate votes needed to override Veto
So far from being moderate, 1T is the most vicious
possible union-crppng legislation believed to have any
hope of passage.
This bill would so restrict collective bargaining to
make it practically unworkable.
1t strips workers efforts to organize OF the protection
from employer coercion granted by the Wagner Act and
subjects them to Gripping government restraint and coer
ciOn.
1t subjects effective exercise of the right to strike to
the will of management and of government acting on behalf
1t revves the federal strkebreakng injunction, max
ing this sharper than ever before by constl
tung the itself the employers agent TO pro-
such injunctions.
1t virtually outlaws union security promotes company
unionsm, breaks up industrial unons and weakens the
workers bargaining power in hundred other ways
Once this bill is finally approved by Congress, the
American people will have recourse protection from
its tyrannes, except through Presidential veto.
President Truman must veto this shameful measure.
But simple veto not be enough to prevent it's
enactment into law The anabor forces are confident of
two-thirs majority in the House to override veto and
putting tremendous to get similar action in
the Senate.
The President can be sure of having veto upheld only
If he makes his veto sharp and and his
demand for support clear every member of the party
he heads that enough Congressional support will be forth
coming
According to Asst. Press Secretary Eben Ayres the
White House received 10000 postcards and 10000 let
ers anabor legislation in the first three weeks of May
aand the volume is steadily increasing.
While he would not say what proportion called for
Veto Ayres admitted such requests were in majority.
AS the deadline draws the peoples demand for
vigorous veto of the Taft-EIartey bill must increase still
in volume and insstence.

AN ANSWER TO MR.. MONRONEY's PLEA

IN MAGAZINE ARTICLE Congressman Mike Monroney
of Oklahoma makes startling statements The in
of 2O0OOOO0 in professional and other whecolar
classes he says, must be brought up to level comparable
with manuay skilled workers ito prevent the starving out
of our thinkers and creators"
The Congressman submits array of statistics to
his contention We don't think the figures would stand
searching analysis
On the workers side he picks out those trades which
have high hourly rate, but limited working year,
and he hasn't made proper allowance for millions of other
skilled workers who certainly much in need of
money any group of whitecoar workers. However, the
point labor started out to make is this:
If these professional and other whitecolar workers
superior mentally to the ordinary skilled worker why
haven't they developed sufficient gumpton to organize
as to safeguard their economic rights?
Like thousands of other newspaper men, this writer
worked for years daily paper where the union in
overas got money at the end of the week than the
employees in the editorial department. who decked out
in white shirts and stiff hats.
The explanation easy. The in overals had
enough to organize and the STUFFED shirts in the
editorial department felt they Couldn't afford to belong
union WE'LL the STUFFED shirts have changed their minds
on that point and they getting more money
The other whe-colar workers should follow their
ample and organize unions

BRITAIN'S GREAT HEALTH PROGRAM

A STORY FROM LONDON says that if the Labor gov

ton and hospital service The cost will be about $6O8 mil
lion There will be separate system for Scotland The
of the North loyal to the Crown, but they like to
their affairs.
Hospitals "and their endowments" will become the
property of the state and army of DOCTORS specialists
nurses dentists and pharmacists will have chance to be-
come ''civil servants"
That's the point where trouble starts What should be
the doctors part this seup? The abortes say the
doctors themselves will decide Those who want go along
will probably be paid salary, plus fixed fees. Those who
desire to be independent may find clients among those able
to pay.
Perhaps Of the most encouraging developments is
that the Labor government insists there shall be nothing
toataran about the system 1t is good to find these
daring architects of day recognizing that however
portant the reform may be, democracy comes first
It's great experiment, one of the most significant in
history There will be plenty of rough spots the
success but if all sides cooperate something very fine may
