MOLE CRICKETS
Mole crickets are dark
brown, flat insects about l IA
inches long with greatly en-
larged front legs for tunneling
and burrowing through the soil,
resembling the ground mole and
the cricket. They are particu-
larly destructive in seedbeds
and in small gardens. They feed
on roots and also eat seed end
cut off stems of young plants.
But the greatest damage comes
from their burrowing in the top
inch or two of the soil, break
ing and destroying the delicate
root systems and thus Destroy
ing the seedlings.
These crickets fly around on
warm nights and when they find
a spot in seeded or fall gar
den that suits them, they pull
verize the place thoroughly and
the plants growing on it may
be gnawed down.
Mrs. M. w. T. of Wilmington
writes that she is having trouble
with mole crickets uprooting
her seedlings after she trans
planted them from the seeded,
which she had protected with a
tight cover of thin cloth.
She has another problem in
ants that have destroyed her
snapdraggon seed which she re-
planted after the first lot was
destroyed in the seeded. She
asks if they will destroy the an
nual poppy seed too when she
plants them.
She also finds many little
earthworms in some of her pots
of African violets, which she
has been taking out whenever
she finds them in the saucers.
She asks if they will harm the

bottom into large clods for
drainage in winter and for a
reservoir for moisture in sum-
mer. Cover the clods with any
dough of h%alf-rotted compast to
prevent soil from packing down
between the clods.
Add 6 inches of strawy ma
nure, or compost from the pit
with lime and acid phosphate
mixed and over it put the top
soil that has been mixed with
old crumbly rotted manure or
compost or bonemeal and sheepr
manure or a complete fertilizer
such as 5-10-5, a fourth peck of
commercial fertilizer to a 25-
foot row. If you have manure
use about 1-3 as much as soil:
or if sheep manure and bone
meal, use a gallon of bonemeal
and twice as much of sheep ma
nure. Whatever you use, mix it
thoroughly with the topsoil be-
fore filling the trench to within
6 inches of the top. Let it settle
two weeks before planting.
We will give planting direc-
tons at a later date.-October

example, unless and until we have
genuine world inspection and control
Of atomic energy, there can hardly
be an overall police force worthy OF
the name.
Nevertheless, such q force Is an
objective that the world needs to
pursue. Assuming that atomic con-
troll is attainable. global armed
power to preserve peace is attainable,
too. The family Of nations. despite
temporary discouragements, must
ceaselessly strive for both. TO do
less would be to f1irt with the suicide
OF civilization. In this new age war
can mean universal annihilation. II
all peoples and governments keep
that constantly in mind, they will
yet succeed In finding a good way to
police themselves.

WiIdIife Conservation

In recent testimony before the
House Appropriations Committee,
Albert F. Day, chief of the Federal
Fish and Wildlife Service, stated
that the conservation program Of
game and fish faces one of the most
critical periods in its history. The
chief danger lies in the increasing
number Of people who are discover
ing the recreational advantages OF
hunting and fishing.
Before the war;" according to
Day, there were about 1900 900
people, exclusive of commercial fish,
ermen who bought hunting and fish,
ing licenses. Since the war the figure
has been steadily climbing. The
fiscal year which ended June 80,
1946, showed twenty per cent in
crease over the previous year. It
looks now as II peace can be
harder on wild game and fish than
war. With more gasoline, tires and
civilian planes available to penetrate
the wilderness areas and with the
Nations rivers undergoing vast
engineering developments, we must
have careful planning and exert
untiring efforts If We are to prevent
serious damage to wildlife resources"
There are several important angles
to the present emergency. Federal
and State statistics can be enacted
to limit the size of catches. Our
present national, State and COM
munity forests totalling over 20o,-

100000 acres can Be made in-
creasingly effective as breeding
sanctuaries for game and dsh.
Additional areas for this purpose
can be purchased in strategic To-
cations.
It seems certain that in the years
ahead more citizens will turn> to
outdoor recreation. The national
trend is toward 4 shorter work week.
It has already been amply demon
strated that Americans like to travel
to out-of-the-Way spots and live for
period close to nature. The Fed
eral and State authorities have an
obligation to provide as good hunting
and fishing as possible in return for
the millions Nof dollars spent for
licenses. The situation opens up
more vocational opportunities for
men who like outdoor life. Wildlife
conservation is linked to the in
creasing development OF worthwhile
recreational programs--a part of the
Nations expanding social service 10
its citizens.

Russia and the Press

To the Editor of The Star:
Let me say through your columns
what will anger some, but what will
prove to be true In spirit ere long. No
sane man can read the answers which
Stain gave to Stassen without seeing
that the treatment Russia has received
from our newspaper correspondents, and
the attempt OF Russia to give freedom
of the press to It's own editors, have
explained much which our people have
not understood I. for one, rejoice that
at last one man Of strong common
sense from our country has gone to
Russia and has had the fine discrimi-
nation Mr.. Stassen has shown both in
asking and answering questions in his
conversation with Russia,s dictator. I
know from large experience with travel
abroad the distortions which half
truths occasion, and how prejudiced
writers 90 abroad TO confirm the inn
pressions they already have when they
start. instead Of going thither with
open minds to get the truth and to

Abuse Of Subpoenus

Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut of
District Court was acting In accord
with the rules Of common sense, as
well as within his legal rights, when
he criticized an attorney for sub
poenaing Secretary of State Marshall
as witness at a time when he would
have had to waste several hours
awaiting his turn to be called.
Justice Schweinhaut excused Secre-
tary Marshall from appearing at the
courthouse until the defense shows
that his testimony, If any, can be
taken promptly.
II want to make 1t plain said
Justice Schweinhaut, that I will
not tolerate the abuse of the process
of this court. will not have
these officials made to come here
and sit around at times when they
cannot possibly be put on the stand"
The jurist is correct in holding that
it Is his duty to protect the court
from such obvious abuses Of the
liberal subpoena powers given to
attorneys. Under the Federal Rules
OF Criminal Procedure, adopted
March, 1916, a defense attorney may
obtain a summons in blank from the
clerk Of the court, fill out the name
later and have the summons served
by any citizen. Under this procedure
it is difficult for the court to prevent
the premature calling Of witness.
1t Is well, therefore, that Justice
Schweinhaut has reiterated the
policy Of the court against any
misuse OF the right to subpoena
witnesses.
The courts action recalls the re-
cent thwarted attempt of a House
subcommittee chairman to subpoena
Secretary Marshall without first OBJ
tanning approval of the full COM
mittee and of the Speaker. The
courts are no less obligated than
Congress to protect high Govern
ment officials from unreasonable
use of the subpoena privilege.

To Police the World

In its first report on organizing
q world police force, the Military
Staff Committee Of the United
Nations Security Council has done
little mere than demonstrate the
tremendous diffaculty of translating
the idea Of such force into an
effective reality. The report-based
on fifteen months of study by the
committees made up OF a set of
forty-one principles. Twenty-six of
these have won the unanimous sup
port of the committees members
China, France, Britain, Russia and
the United States. The rest are in
dispute, with the Soviet Union being
the chief but not lone dissenter.
Considering the unprecedented
nature of the project involved, this
disagreement is not surprising. In
a world made up of nations still
jealous of their separate sovereign
ties, 1t would be too much to expect
early unaninity on international
peace-preserving contingents with
free access to pooled military infor-
nation and far-fiung bases handed
over by members of the U. N. These
and similar arrangements will be
necessary If there is ever to be
global police force capable of stop
ping war before 1t starts or Of keep
ing 1t from spreading once it breaks
out. But the arrangements cannot
be agreed upon nearly so easily as
they can be talked about.
Actually, even If the Military STAFF
Committee had been able to agree
on every pr nciple in its first report,
an effective policing set-up would
continue to be elusive. For one thing,
it would be subject to the veto power
OF any of the Big Five; at most, it
could be employed to check aggres-
sion only among the lesser powers.
and even then the veto could block
action. In other words, within the
present framework Of the United
Nations, the creation OF q great
international armed agency to en-
force the law remains remote. The
chances are that it will be formed,
Il ever. only by degrees, Thus. for

Hospital Observatory Plan

Announcement OF arrangements
whereby part Of the grounds OF the
Naval Observatory will be used for
Washington's new hospital center
has been received with interest by
citizens concerned about both the
old and the new institutions in
volved in the development. There
is no question about the need for
an appropriate and convenient site
for the hospital project. Metropol-
itan area residents as well as the
transient public require more mod
ern hospital facilities than have
been available in or near the Ma
tion's Capital in recent years. The
great Government medical centers
have not solved the problem. What
is wanted is place, a plan, q
method for q new beginning for
Emergency, Garfield, Episcopal and
other private or semiprivate estab-
lishments for the care, of the sick
and the injured. The recognized
demand could be met on the terrain
now occupied by the Observatory,
buildings.
II such change resulted in the
removal Of the Governments astro-
nomical headquarters to another
location, the Observatory's advan-
tage would be commensurate. Ever
since Washington began to expand
in western and northwestern direc-
tions, its sky has become increas-
ingly illuminated by artificial means.
The haze Of light which overhangs
the lower city practically every
evening is no help to the patient
searchers of the skies. On the con-
trary, 1t hahdicaps them in their
work. Hence the proposal Of the late
DR.. George w. Ritchey, famous tele-
scope builder, for the transfer of
the Navy astronomical center to a
location away from the glare Of all
the East coast cities. As advocated
by him some twenty years ago, a
mountain in Texas near the Mexican
border was the ideal spot. Wash
ingtonians in general would regret
a decision to remove the Observatory
so far, but they surely would favor
any reasonable alternative plan for
a new site in nearby Maryland or
Virginia.
It happens, too, that there is
abundant precedent for a solution
along this line. The history of the
Observatory shows that 1t first was
suggested in 1909, started on G street
between Seventeenth and Eight
eenth streets in 1880, removed to
about a thousand feet north OF the
dome of the Capitol in 1888, then
formally set up with Congressional
approval on e street between Twen-
ty-third and Twenty fifth streets,
where the old Naval Hospital now
stands, in 1845 or thereabouts. The
grounds which the Observatory soon
is to share with the projected hos
pital center were not occupied by
the Observatory until 1893.
