Latin America lnteiaeed
With Extensive Air Routes

Latin America is today laced wi h
interior networks of airline routes
rivaling anything the worlds ma
jor air powers have produced, max
ing remote hanalets and isolated ma
tllral wonders as accessible as the
metropolitan charms of Lima, Car
acRs and Mexico City.
Brazil alone boasts more than 3d.
600 miles of unduplicated airline
routes. without even counting flights
across Brazilian territory by Pan
American Airways. Mexico's total
airline mileage, again excluding
Pan American as well as compel
ing American Airlines routes, totals
1858 miles by latest Civil Aero
nautics board figures.
The overall total for all Central
and South American countries ex-
ceeds 130,0 miles of unduplicated
airline routes, representing almost
a 200 per cent increase over the
1914 figure. Many of the national
airlines now operating in Latin
America were developed by Ger
man and Italian combines before
the war, and seized by Latin
American governments soon after
Pearl Harbor. A majority, how
ever, represent new development
and enterprise, often in the face of
acute materials and personnel short
ages and almost unbelievable ma
tural obstacles.

NEW All NATION WIDE
PROGRAM DESIGNED TO
IMPROVE RURAL HEALTH

A new All program designed to
help improve health conditions in
rural areas has been announced
by the National Committee on
Boys and Girls Club Work. Ur-
gent need for intensive health
education is disclosed in recent
surveys of families living on
farms and in small communities.
The program, which is conduct
ed under the direction of the
Extension Service, emphasizes
group and individual health ira-
provement on community, county
and state levels. Recognition is
also given on a national level to
individual members.
Objectives of the National All
Health Improvement program are
to help All members and their
leaders gain a personal conscious
ness and understanding of ply
sical and mental health consis-
tent with advancing standards
and scientific knowledge; to help
young people grow and develop
sound bodies and mature perso-
nalities.
Honor award incentives to
stimulate interest among club
groups, as well as individual
members, are provided by the
Kellogg Co. Awards include
certificate symbolizing health to
the club in each county conduct
ing the best health Improvement
program. Ten cash awards of
$4,000 each will be given to the
ten clubs which carry on the
best health program in their state.
The top ranking All member in
health achievements in each state
will receive an educational trip
to the 1947 National All Club
Congress in Chicago next Dec
ember.
County extension agents will
furnish complete information re-
garding this activity.

Rat Control

Removal Of waste foods, covering
of garbage, rat-proofing buildings,
and getting rid of possible breeding
and hiding places are steps to take
In preventing rat infestations. Two
rat poisons, Red Squill, plant ex-
tract, and ANTU (Alpha-naphthyl-
thio-urea), a comparatively new
compound, are recommended for
control Of rats. However, enough
bait must be set out to assure a 100
per cent kill or the poisoning pro-
gram will be ineffective. ANTU has
little effect against house mice and
if rats do not consume enough of
the poison to be killed, they will
avoid 1t for 80 days or more. If
necessary to rebait an area, use un-
poisoned food to lure the rats and
then apply poison. If after 80 days
control is ineffective, change OF
bait and poison is recommended.
Poisons must be kept away from
children and livestock.

URGE FARMERS USE
PRocESSED PHOSPHATE

Trouble in getting some type of
fertilizers which Ohio farmers
want has induced many of those
producers to ask Ohio State Uni
versity agronomists if raw rock
phosphate should be used to in
crease Ohio crop yields. The ag-
economists say, mo, except under
exceptional conditions.
The effectional of raw rock
phosphate to raise crop yields.
has been tested in Ohio many
times during a long period. Raw
rock phosphate is never as effic-
lent in promoting plant growth as
processed phosphate fertilizers no
matter how finely the raw rock
phosphate in ground.
Raw phosphate is cheaper than
superphosphate but farmers will
save money by buying equivalent
amounts of superphosphate or
other forms which carry even
higher percentages of phosphoriC
acid. Piling 1000 or 1000 pounds
of raw phosphate on an acre OF
land does not make the phos-
phoric acid in it more readily
available to crops.
The agronomists say that rye,
buckWeat, and sweet clover can
obtain phosphoric acid from raw
rock phosphate easier than most
other crops can, but those three
crops are relatively unimportant in
Ohio. The raw rock phosphate is
most effective on highly acid or
ganic soils but those usually are
unsuitable for profitable Group
production.
Commercial processing changes
raw phosphate into superphos-
phate which contains Is to 20
per cent available phosphoric
acid, triple superphosphate con-
tanning 43 to 48 per cent, fused
phosphate with 80 to 35 per cent,
or calcium metaphosphate which
contains 63 per cent. Application
of any of those forms is recon-
mended in preference to raw
phosphate if they can be obtained.

Military VS.. Pure Science

Military VS.. Pure Science
With one hand the United States
barred Soviet military representa-
tives from an arms demonstration at
the Aberdeen, Md, Proving Ground,
while with the other it permitted
Russian scientists to view new Amer
ican weather forecasting techniques.
The Army explained its Aberdeen
ban on the grounds that American
military attaches have been excluded
from a similar Russian demonstration.
Brig. Gen. D. N. Yates. chief of the
us. Air Forces Air Weather Service,
said the weather exhibit was strictly
scientific" and without restrictions to
anyone. Meteorology, he said, is COM
pletely dependent upon a free ex-
change of information between all
countries
The special weather exhibition in
cluded B-29 which had made reg
ular flights over the North Pole to
check on meteorological developments
and a completely automatic radio
transmitting weather station designed
for use in out-of-the-way places
Radar stOrm-spotting equipment,
devices for transmitting weather maps
by radio were among other new de-
velopments.

PubIic Policy

The President has distributed for
careful consideration" by federal de-
partments plan for spotting gov
eminent science projects more widely
about the country against the possi-
bility of atomic warfare.
The blueprint was contained in the
third of five volumes of report by
John r. Steelman, Presidential assist
ant, on Science and Public Policy"
Steelman reported a major portion
of wartime science, research and de-
velopment assigned to a comparative
ly few large universities and indus
trial firms, mainly in the east.
He found So different government
agencies engaged in scientific research
and development, 10000 scientists on
government payrolls and more than
two billion dollars invested in federal
laboratories and scientific equipment.
Much of this program grew in
''piecemeal" fashion, he said, recon-
mending reorganization toward def
mite goal with geographic dispersion
of essential facilities.
His proposals:
Establishment of an interdepart-
mental committee on scientific re-
search and development, composed
of government officials appointed by
the President.
Creation of unit in the Bureau
of the Budget to fit federal scientific
projects into the national program.

SCIENCE: The Space Factor

Appointment of a White House
staff member for scientific liaisOn
inside and outside government.
Establishment of national sci
ence foundation along sound admin
iStrative lines.
Steelman believes government SAL
aries for science personnel compare
well with university stipends but sug-
gested the top salary bracket be raised
from $4,000 TO $4,000 year to at
tract more brilliant researchers.
Wartime Tests Barred
Meanwhile in Seattle, a top wartime
psychologist declared that lives of
countless American fliers could have
been saved during the last war by
soaring" them. i'm training, but the
high command refused, he said, to
permit such methods because it feared
a wave of protests from parents.
The claim was made by DR.. Paul
Horst, industrial psychologist at the
University of Washington and for
three years research director in Sc
lection, classification and training pro-
cedures for the Army Air Force
Training Command

tie strains by variety of tests, none
of them harmful to candidates, which
would have eliminated those who

, RUSSIA: theological Warfare

AN ANNOUNCEMENT this
"A, week from Moscow of a
nine-nation conference of Com
munist parties for an about ideol-
ogical campaign against "Ameri-
can Imperialism" solidified still
further the division of Europe into
opposing camps of east and west.
Creation of the new international
organization, first such group publicly
supported by the Russians since Pre-
mier Stain declared the Comintern
dead in 1943, amounts to a virtual
declaration of political warfare against
the United States.
In effect, it declares the Communist
intention to wreck, if possible, the
Marshall plan for European aid and
the Truman doctrine to combat totali-
tarianism. 1t is a drive, under guild
ance of the Soviet Politburo, against
the U.S., its foreign policy and its
leaders for control of western Europe
and probably other strategic areas of
the world
Directed by Kremlin
Russia was represented at the un-
heralded Warsaw conference last
month, at which the new international
organization was formed, by two OF
its top Politburo leaders: Colleen
Andrei Zhdanov and Georegi M.
Malenkov
All but two of the nine nations
present were within the Soviet sphere
of eastern Europe. Poland, Romania,
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czech
slovakia and Russia herself form the
Soviet bloc. The two non-bloc coun-
tries were France and Italy.
France was represented by its top
Communist, Jacques Duclos. Italy's
best known Red spokesman, Palmiro
Togliatti, was in Rome leading the
