Pecan PhYlloxerd

If your pecan trees are infected
with tumorlike swellings or gals,
which may appear on. the leaves,
leaf stems or the nuts or succulent
shoots on both native and improved
varieties, these gals are formed by
tiny insects known as phylloxera,
which are closely related to aphids
Reports of phylloxera injury came
from all sections where the pecan
is grown, but is most severe in the
western part of the state. These
aphid-like insects may attack any
part of the pecan including leaves,
leaf and leaflet stems, twigs and
nuts, The attack of this insect causes
the twigs to become malformed, de-
vitalized and finally to die; foliage
is lost, nuts attacked are deformed
and drop and nuts growing on at
tackled twigs drop prematurely or
fail to fill properly. The young in
sects barely visable to the eye, first
appear in the spring on the unfold
ing buds, where they insert their
beaks and begin to feed. This slim
ulates the growth of the gals which
soon envelop the insects. The de-
veloping gals are all green, to
yellow-green, occasionally tinged
with red Mature gals are brown or
| black.

PARIS, May l5Parisians lived
today with the realization that their
existence hereafter would be con-
trolled-at least for the time being
by q dictator.
Impelled by the growing wheat

OF an imminent millWorkers' strike,
Premier Ramadier has taken two
practically unprecedented steps:
/. He set himself up as food die
tator for France, assuming personal
direction of food distribution.
2. He requisitioned the two mills
which supply the French capital
with flour.
Premier Issues Order.
When the mills 900 workers met
to decide whether they would better
their chances for wage increases
Iby striking, they we're confronted
with an order, signed by the pre-
mier, requisitioning all mills on the
premises and ordering them to
carry on.
This marks the first time since
Frances liberation that q premier
has dared get tough with workers
in handling food problems. Fur
|trermore, lacking legal basis, 1t con-
stitutes almost a revolution.
Under a 1899 law the premier had
the power to "cope with any situa-
ton endangering the life OF the
Nation" But this law was valid
only for the wars duration and the
war officially ceased in this country
last January.
To timid legal advisers who OBJ
jected to. his decision, Premier
Ramadier answered: "I don't mind
the law; the country is behind me. "

As far as the people are con-

White Paper by Reds
In Hungary Expected
To Seek Tidy 0usfer
BY The Assoeiosed Press

BUDAPEST, June ia reliable
informant said today a new Com
munist white paper" on the alleged
plot against the Hungarian repub-
lie, due to be published in few
days, might be the first step in an
attempt to oust President zoltan
Tidy from Office.
. The informant said the white pa
per would seek to implicate a SON.
in-law of Mr.. Tidy, Victor Choir
noky. and would mention Mr.. Tidy
himself. The Communists say the
document is based on dispositions
taken from persons accused of plot
ting.
Mr.. Tidy is said to have been
present at a meeting of his Small
holders Party leaders when former
Premier Ferenc Macy announced
the Russians were insisting on APP
pointment of a Communist as Min
lister of the Interior. Attendance at
this meeting, the informant said,
apparently made Mr.. Tidy anti
Communist in the eyes of the Com
muniSts.
Mr.. Tidy is the last remaining
prominent member of the majority
Smallholders Party in Office. Mr..
Macy was forced out of the premier
ship recently under Communist
pressure and now is in the United
States in voluntary exile.
Red Interior Chief Demanded.
Other sources said the Russians
actually did demand appointment
of a Communist Minister of the
Interior A Communist. Laszlo
Rajk, now holds the job. Bella Ko-
vacs, former secretary general of
the Stockholders arrested by the
Russians on charges of espionage,
was candidate for the post at the
time.
According to the informant, the
new Communist white paper charges
Mr.. Chornoky, former member of
the Hungarian Legation in Wash
ington. with helping Mr.. Macy, Mr.
Kovacs and Bella Varga, former
Speaker of Parliament, who fled
the country to avoid arrest, to pick
Smallholder candidates for Parlia-
ment in the November, l945, elec-
ton. The implication was that per-
sons In Parliament now opposing
the Communist Party were hand
picked for the job. There are sew
eral other charges, the informant
added.
An informed source said recently
that the statement issued by Mr.
Tidy saying that the custer of Mr.
Macy was done according to the
constitution actually was made un-
der duress."
Link to Coup Denied.
Russia denied yesterday having
had any connection with the Hun
garian coup. 1t. Gen. v. P. Swirl
dov, Russian occupation commander
in Hungary, told the Allied Control
Commission, of which he is chair
man, that the Russians had moth
ing whatever to do with the recent
change in the Hungarian govern
ment."
Gen. Sviridov, questioned by Brig.
Gen. George H Weems, American
member of the commission, said the
Russians exercised no influence at
all in forming the Hungarian gov
eminent"
During the session, Gen. Sviridov
once again refused to hand over to
the British and Americans the depo-
sitions which the Russians said they
had taken from Mr. Kovacs. p

Russian Mission That Almost

In January, 1943, at d time when
1.-THE Germans had been thrown back
at Stalingrad and Rommel had suf-

Appearing today in the July 5

German foreign service for 90 years
before the Nazis came to power, who
became an American citizen and
served In the OSS during the war,

Baltic, to the Dardanelles and aid

Russia was to start Immediately to

The negotiations we're ended by
Russia, the article said, in the belief
Germany had let word of them
spread so far there was danger the
offer might come to the attention
of Russia's allies, then planning the
invasion of France.
Similar Russian negotiations, in
the fall of 1943, were mentioned
briefly during the Nuremberg trial
State Department officials in
Washington said they had no in
formation on that subject what
ever" and other official informants
there said a search of German state
papers brought to this country made

offer.

the report in Moscow produced no
results.
