It's very important to WASH
the spray tank, hoses, and nozzl-
es thoroughly to remove all trac-
es of 2,4-D if you use the same
spray outfit for putting on in
sect sprays or for other pur-
poses. Rinse first with clear wat
er and then with soapy water
containing a water softener. In
case you have been using an
ester of 2,4-D, it would be wise
to rinse the sprayer with little

Issuing General Order No. /, Col.
Webb commanded the Crackpates
to assemble at 8 am. Saturday, fully
equipped with maps and lunches,
for an all-day campaign. The rally
ing point will be Fredericksburg
and Spotsylvania National Military
Park Museum.
Col. Webb describes his brigade
as quite vocal group, saturated
with history" There's no rank
pulling in this company, for there
are no officers. On their equally
mythical flag flies the motto: You
don't have to be crazy to enjoy
these battlefield tours, but it helps"
1t was in that spirit that COL
Webb and three other history en-
thusiasts gave the Order of the
Battlefield Crackpates its modest
start in the early sos. His CO.
conspirators were J. M. Hanson, re-
tired superintendent of Manassas
National Park; Garnet w. Jex, a
painter, and Comdr. E. John Long,
Navy liaison aide to Defense Sec
retary Forrestal.
The ranks swelled without such
devices as draft, universal mill
tary training, or even recruiting
Now there are 40 or so Civil War
fanatics on each annual pilgrimage
to the battlefields.

of the Blue and Gray chose their
cognomen carefully. Some would
consider them crackpots, they
reasoned, but in truth they were
echelons above such hoi polloi.
There is something higher sound
ing about Crackpates." said Col
Webb, and so Crackpates it has
continued to be.
Saturday the Crackpates will roll
by automobile caravan over four
major Virginia battlefields, with
National Park Service historians
along as reinforcements.
Along the route they will stop II
times, once for lunch and II times
for 15-minute chinfests at points of
particular significance.

Armed with imaginary muskets
verbal ammunition and powder
horns full of not-too-dry historical
data, the Battlefield Crackpates will
set out next Saturday to fight the
Civil War again.
- This time it will be fought right.
The blood won't flow as freely, but
the fields of Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville, and the Wilderness
and Spotsylvania Court House, will
be knee-deep in adjectives when
the second-guessing tacticians cease
firing.
The call to arms was sounded
yesterday by Col. Willard Webb

much for him. This, in its turn,
intimates that his romance is going

Ship Special Dirt To Alaska

SEATTLE, (P)-A special kind of dirt that makes a special kind of mud is being shipped to Alaska Saturday aboard the steamer Aleutian.
 The dirt comes from Merced, Calif., and is used in oil-drilling work. It is destined for the navy's oil project at Point Barrow.
 Mixed with water the earth jells into a substance which, when packed into drill hole, aids in pumping cuttings and sediment to the surface.
 The 27-ton shipment is being sent north by the Arctic Contrac- tors. It will be landed at Seward, sent by rail to Fairbanks, flown to Barrow, then hauled by tractor sleds over the tundra to the oil we'll installations.

 Presidential press secretary Charles c. Ross told reporters "it is quite possible an agreement will be reached during the day"
 Ross added that President Tru- man also has received "a very en- couraging message from the union that if the status quo is maintain ed, there will be no strike"
 But Ross said that if a settle ment is not reached, the provi- sions of the Taft-Hartley law twill be followed" This apparently meant that the government will seek a court injunction to ban a strike for 80 days.

Army Enlistments Start Upward

WASHINGTON, (P)-First re- ports from a few scattered cities show a quickened interest in vol untary enlistments in the army.
 Army officials noted this today, but said it is too soon for anything like complete reports to reach Washington. Thus they could not say what the national trend of re- cruiting might be after President Truman's call for draft law and universal military training.
 One of the reports received was from Minneapolis. Enlistments moved up there from an average of about five a day to 30 immedi- ately following MT. Truman's mes sage to the Congress.
 The Washington recruiting of flee, army officials said, reported a large number of inquiries about enlistment yesterday. But they said no corresponding upswing in the actual number of recruits was noted.

 This Republican answer to MT. Truman's request for universal military training and limited re- vival of selective service is known to have the enthusiastic backing of Vandenberg. He is the Senate's presiding officer and heads its for eign relations committee.
 Taft told a reporter he is in clined to support the plan but has not made up his mind finally.
 Meanwhile, an informal poll of the House armed services commit tee showed today that group prob ably would approve an outright draft revival at once. Fifteen out of 33 members said they favor such a step and only four listed themselves as definitely opposed.

Truman Will Not
 Accept Support
 From Wallace

NEW YORK, President Truman says he would not accept the sup port of Henry Wallace and his communistS"-even if his refusal meant defeat in the November election.
 If joining them or permitting them to join me is the price of vic tory, l recommend defeat" de clared the President, who dropped Wallace from his cabinet in 1946. MT. Truman made the statement last night to 2,500 persons at the annual dinner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick.
 His challenge to "Wallace and his Communists" came near the end of foreign policy speech in which he reiterated his plea to Congress for a temporary revival of the draft, universal military training and speedy Congressional approval of the European recovery program. He said the fundamental purpose of his proposals is "to pre- vent war"
 Departing from his prepared text, MT. Truman said: "I do not want and will not accept the po- litical support of Henry Wallace and his communists. .. These are days of high prices for everything, but any price for Henry Wallace and his communists is too much for me to pay. I do not want to buy"
 The Presidents remarks con- corning Wallace brought cheers from the St. Patrick's Day gather ing, which had just heard Francis Cardinal Spellman endorse the Presidents recommendation for universal military training. A talk on the subject "Wallace Answers Truman" already had been scheduled for Wallace on the ABC network last night.
