Delay in Discussion
Of Jap Pact indicated
By the Asseeiotsd Press

Nine nations which will partici-
pate In talks on a peace treaty for
Japan have agreed generally with
United States suggestion that a
two-thirds vote should govern con-
ference decisions.
The State Department disclosed
this yesterday amid indications that
the conference itself will have to
be put off until late fall or early
next year. The United States origi-
nally hoped to hold 1t this month.
This country last week rejected
a Russian demand to limit the
initial discussions On a japanese
peace pact to the four major Pacific
powers-the United States, Britain,
China and the Soviet Union. 1t
accompanied that rejection with a
plain notice that the difference will
be held regardless of whether Rus
sia participates.
Other participants will be Aus
tralia, Canada. France, India, the
Netherlands, New Zealand. and the
Philippines.
The British commonwealth ma
tions objected to holding the meet
ing on August 10 because of their
commitments to attend a common
wealth conference>at Canberra, Aus
tralia, later this month.
Because of the September meet
ing of the United Nations General
Assembly. with big demands on dip
lomatic personnel, there may be a
considerable delay before the Japa-
ncse talks can open.
China qualified its acceptance of
the two-thirds voting procedure by
proposing a compromise plan under
which three of the four big powers
would have to be represented. China.
however, approved plans to hold
preliminary talks in Washington or
San Francisco but expressed the
hope that the formal conference
will be held in China.

County A9e>st
Reao1A.
BY DAVID JAMES

one OF the most important prob
lens that we have in our area is
keeping the irrigation bitches and
pipe from being clogged by water
growing plants. In an effort to
see what can be done to help solve
this problem the Extension Ser
vice is cooperating with the irri-
cation companies in trying new
chemicals to kill the weeds and
other type of plant growth in the
bitches and pipes of the irrigation
system. :.
Last week E. j. Brand, manager
of the Kennewick Irrigation dis
trict and I put out demonstra-
ton in which we used Benclor, a
new chemical that has been rec
commended for the use to kill any
under water plant. This chemical
will not harm any type of plant
that isn't under water.
MIR. Brand and I, with the COOP
GRAFTON of James Walker, of the
Sos applied five gallons of the
! chemical in an irrigation pipe on
the South Highlands, in which
the distance of the run of the pipe
is 1000 feet, and then we tribe the
same chemical on an open ditch.
Mr.. Brand informed me. that he
feels that the chemical is taking
some effect in the case of the pipe
but he cannot see any great diff
ference at the present time. How
ever we have been informed by
the company that manufactures
the chemical that final results will
be shown in about one week.
If this chemical will give us re.
suits many more tests will be tried
out throughout the county. We
will also have a demonstration on
how to apply the Benclor to irriga-
ton bitches and pipes in which
the public will be invited.
I have had many questions re-
garding the new chemical IPC
which has been put on the mar
ket and which is being used for
! the control of quack grass. The
question that has been asked many
times is what is the full name?
The full name for IPC is IsOpro-
observation-disclosures.
