Montgomery 10 Open
Insect Eradication
Project Monday

Montgomery County's most ambi-
Itious insect eradication project ever
attempted, aimed primarily at the
japanese beetle, will commence
Monday In tthe suburban area in
spite of anticipated objections OF
property owners.
This was announced yesterday by
the Board OF Commissioners after o.
w. Anderson, county agent. had ap-
peared before the board to warn Of
the likelihood of complaints that
|DDT spray might stain homes and
furnishings.
Previously Mr.. Anderson had OBJ
|tained sanction of the commissioners
for such a project which will cost
$500 and reduce the county's fly,
tick, lice and other insect popula-
ton as we'll as the japanese beetle.
1t was pointed out, however, that the
spray will not hurt bees.
Throughout Road System.
The spray truck will start Monday
from Bethesda and will progress
throughout the county road system
spraying all grounds and vegetation
adjoining roadways. It is expected
the project will not be completed un-
til August.
The commissioners were requested
by the Kensington Volunteer Fire
Department to put in fire hydrant
near the Kensington Junior High
School. 1t was pointed out that
the closest one to the school is
1900 feet distant.
The request was taken under ad-
visement.
A letter was received by the board
from Radio Station WGAY, Silver
Spring, praising the work of the po-
lice force in solving the theft from
the station of about $500 worth OF
radio equipment. Police Pvt. New
ton Stull and Palmer Hurd and de-
tective Sergts Stanley Harding ano
James Anderson were praised in the
letter.
The commissioners also heard
eight applications for reclassifica-
ton of property buildings.
The largest protest was registered
against the request Of c. Boyd Keys
on his request for Redistribution OF
property on Linden avenue from the
Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad track
to Warren street in the Linden area
of Silver Spring. Donald X. Staley
attorney for Mr.. Keys explained
the change was requested to build
industrial property stores and
apartment houses.
! Hugh Buckingham, spokesman
for a group of residents of the area
told the commissioners the pro-
jected development would not be
in keeping with the residential
character of the place"

Consumer Group to Confer.
Meanwhile, reaction came from
the Washington Consumer Protec-
ton Committee, which will confer
today to study the increases. The
women's group was active in spon-
soring buyer strikes when prices
zoomed after the lifting of price
controls.
MIS-. Sarah Newman, chairman
said that prices will have to come
down, regardless of the reasons for
increases, "or meat simply won't

Bill for Enlistments
Up 10 s Years Voted
By House Committee

The House Armed Services Com
mittee ordered a favorable report
today on q bill to permit the armed
forces to accept enIstments up TO
six-year terms after June 80. The
corresponding Senate committee ap-
proved similar legislation yesterday.
There are two differences be-
tween the House and the Senate
bills, however:
/. The House accepted a provi-
sion removing the peacetime limit
on the size of the Army, which the
Senate committee eliminated.
2. The Senate bill terminates
mastering out pay.
Both bills do away with the 18-
month enlistment period and pro-
vide for enlstments for two, three,
four, five and six year periods.
Chairman Gurney of the Sen
ate committee explained that un-
less new legislation is passed, the
expiration of the Selective Service
Act June 80 will put the Army back
on the basis of receiving enlist
uicllko OIi1y lol t1aS oAA4SAoi 49,
of the war, plus six months.
The draft itself ended last spring,
but the last extension of the Selec-
tive Service Act provided for term
enlistments, ranging up to three
years, until June 80
When that provision expires at
the end of this month, enlistment
authority will have to come from the
post-World War I National Defense
Act unless there Is new legislation.
The Defense Acts plan for expan-
sion of the Army in times of emer-
gency consists of enlistments for the
duration plus six months.
Another section of the new bill
would permit the National Guard
to receive enlistments of 17-year-old
youths.
The Senate committee also ap-
proved approximately 5000 nomina-
tions for Army officers, including 80
generals promoted in permanent
rank.

rolling a 173 game on Thursday
night, to throw the men division
of The Globe Independents high
score contest into three-way tie,
since scores of 173 have also been
made by Stan Klimek, of the Ma

AS we went to press the women's
division high score was still tie
between Mary Routzahn, of the
Precious Stone League, and Anna
Stevenson, of the Women of Moose

All the leagues swung into action
again this week, after layoff for

Judging from some of the scores,
the rest seemed to have improved,
rather than hurt, the various league
members.
