Insect Control Program Is
Planned By Health Office
To Furnish Truck.
Power SprdYer For
Privute Property

An insect control program will
be extended to private property
by request by the Jackson Coun-
ty Health Department beginning
Monday, May 10, r. j. Farrell,
sanitation supervisor of the de-
partment, announced this week.
The control, aimed primarily at
mosquitoes and flies, is effected
through the use of a DOT solu-
ton spray.
The health department furnish
es the truck, power spray and
DOT and the citizen is requested
only to replace the kerosene
used in the spray mixture. The
kerosene used will vary from one
to two gallons, Mr., Farrell stated.
Any person wishing spray used
on his property has only to tele-
phone his city hall and leave his
name and the address of the prop
erty. In the beginning of the pro-
gram only Pascagoula, including
Bayou Casotte, Moss Point, in
GLIDING Kreole, and Ocean
Springs will be serviced but the
program will be expanded to in
clude rural areas as soon as pos
sible, according to Mr.. Farrell.
The truck will be in Ocean
Springs each Monday afternoon,
in Moss Point each Tuesday af-
ternoon and in the Pascagoula
area all day Wednesday of each
week.
Expert SpraYers
The spray is recommended
principally for outhouses but it
will be used on front or back
porches where requested. This
particular spray is not adapted
to successful use inside residences
due. to the quality of kerosene
necessarily used, he explained.
The spray will be operated by ex-
perienced men and the solution
will not be put on any shrubbery
or plants which it might harm.
The power sprayer is mounted on
a truck with a 50-foot hose which
means the truck must be able to
drive within so feet of the place
to be sprayed.
The treatment is effective for
about six months in protected
places and about three weeks in
areas exposed to sun and rain.
1t is helpful in getting rid of the
American roach but does little
harm to the German type or wa
ter bug, he said.
The spraying program has
been carried on in the towns with
food handling establishments and
alleyways as the objects for sew
eral weeks, MI. Farrell said, and
the cities have furnished the
kerosene. Stagnant pools and
other breeding places for the in
sects have been treated as has
the Pascagoula city garbage
dump.
The three largest towns in the
county have also been given the
smoke screen treatment for in
sects, Mr., Farrell said, with the
screen sprayed through the
streets. around midnight after
traffic has virtually stopped. All
results which can be checked
have been very satisfactory, he
declared.

Wilbur G.. Dees
Candidate For
Mayors Office

Wilbur G. Dees this week for
mally announces his candidacy
for the office of mayor of the
City of Pascagoula in the City
Democratic primary election to
be held Tuesday, July 18th.
Mr. Dees' formal announce
! ment follows:
To the Voters of Pascagoula:
| | take this means of announc-
ing my candidacy for the office
of Mayor in the Democratic pri-
mary election to be held July
18th.
In making my announcement
/ fully realize the responsibility
that would be mine, or that of
any other person that the voters
see fit to choose as the mayor
in the forthcoming election.
The economic future of Pasca-
goufa is, of course, foremost
in all of our thoughts as the well
fare of each of US, in one way or
another, is directly affected by
the progress or lack of progress
of u city.
l believe that the economic flu
ture can be assured by the de-
velopment of our natural advan-
tages, which can only come
through careful planning and
long, patient work. My aim would
be to cooperate with our present
industries, while at the same
time working towards industrial
diversification as a means of es-
tablishing job security for oar
citizens and a high and sustained
standard of living.
l believe that Pascagoula
should become the deep water
port for Mississippi's expanding
oil production, and shall work
towards that end. This produc.
ton is moving closer and closer
toward us and if, when our deep
water channel is completed, we
can establish ourselves as an ex-
port outlet for this oil / believe
that it will not only bring about
development of our port, but
also eventually establish US as
one of the major industrial cities
of Mississippi.
1t is also my belief that Pasca-
goula's future can be assured only
through the cooperation and help
of every citizen. If the voters
see fit to choose me as mayor,
l will at all times strive to merit
their cooperation through real
izdtion that l was not elected by
one group or faction, but by the
citizens of Pascagoula and that
as mayor, it would be my duty
to represent ALL of those citiz-
ems.
My personal background is,
briefly:
l am married, father of two
children, a graduate of Missis-
sippi State College. I served four
ana one-half years in the U. S.
Infantry and was discharged with
the rank of captain. Since leav-
ing the service l have made a
success in the operation of my
own business.
If elected, l shall at all times
strive to bring you a progressive
city administration, and with
your help achieve the progress
that will bring every citizen the
economic opportunity to which
he is rightfully entitled.
In announcing my candidacy
I am asking you for one of your
greatest heritages-your vote.
If you see fit to give it to me
l pledge you, if elected, all of
my time, effort and energy to
help bring about a greater Pas
eagoula.
Sincerely yours,

Assorted Stocks Gain,
Many Leaders Lag
lin Profit Casting
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press finaneioI Wris.r


NEW YORK, April 8.-Selective
Roadway was achieved in today's
stock market, although many leaders
were stalled by profit cashing on the
lengthy advance.
Accounts we're trimmed by those
who thought technical correction
was overdue. The coal mining
impasse still was a bearish factor.
Much of the bidding again was
based on rearmament prospects,
spending for European relief and
tax cuts.
Rails failed to respond to the move
for higher passenger fares. Air
transports mostly were indifferent
to boost in mail rates.
Dealings slowed after fairly &C
tive start and the direction was
notably cloudy near the fourth hour

U. 5. Undecided on Form
OF Brussels Pact Aid

The administration needs more
information before making any def.
mite decisions on the form Of Ameri-
can support for the ,flye-flation
Western European Anti-C Communist
Alliance, Acting Secretary of State
Lovett said yesterday.
He told news conference that
officials here have certain ideas en-
the matter. but will need a great
deal more information before form
ing conclusions. +7,,--sr ~
There has been considerable spec
ulation that the administration
might propose an outright alliance
guaranteeing military support to the
nations which signed the Brussels
pact last month, and that some form
of lend-lease might be reviewed to
supply those nations with military
equipment.
The Brussels pact was signed by
Great Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg and
there have been reports that italy
and possibly Scandinavian nations
might join it.

Food AIIoeation Plan
Seen Threatened BY
New Trade Treaties

The elf-interest of some nations
Is threatening the system OF divid-
ing scarce foods among importing
countries, the international Emer-
gency Food Committee said today.
Likewise, it said, world political
pressures are interfering with ef-
forts to spread supplies fairly.
The committee is the agency
which recommends how supplies
should be divided. 1t is made up
of representatives from IS nations,
mostly those associated with the
western powers. Russia does not
belong.
In a report to the United Ma
lions Food and Agriculture Organi-
cation, the committee said some
countries are entering trade agree
ments which fail to take into &C.
count needs of shortage areas.
Countries Not Named.
without naming the countries in
volved, the committee said the nego-
tiation of such agreements had been
spurred by fading hopes" for an
early return to free world trade.
The agreements. the committee
added, are gradually directing the
movement of a larger and larger
portion of cereals. fats and oils, fer
tilizers, meats and dairy products
In world trade. This development
leaves smaller and smaller quanti-
ties free for division by the COM
mittee in helping relieve hunger
1t said.
The committee said, however, thai
food production this year may i'm
prove and thereby lessen the neec
for international division Of some
items by its ALLEGATION system.
Cautious Optimism" Justified.
Recent developments permit eau.
tious optimism" for the. future
Those developments include Cd ar
unusually mild winter in Europe
az record harvests in Australia ant
increased exports from that country
and 90 a doubling Of exports from
Argentina.
If present favorable 1913 cror
prospects are borne out, the com.
mittee said, it should be possible Il
restore bread rations to more nor.
NAL levels and to lower -four extrac.
ton rates in many shortage areas.
Also. it might be possible to in.
crease livestock production by di'
verting coarse grains from human
consumption to stock. But, the
committee said, these are pros.
poets only"
Unless weather conditions are
extraordinarily favorable through
out the year-a most unlikely gam.
ble-there appears no prospect thai
all world requirements can be met
and all controls of consumption
collections and international trade
discontinued" ..s.

Senators Refuse Comment.
Senators Tobey and Fulbright re-
fused to comment on their mega

The appointment of Mr.. McCabe
last January was coupled with Mr..
Eccles' demotion from chairman to
vice chairman of the board.
Mr.. Truman made no explanation

to Mr. Eccles for the top spot, but
he did say he was not in any way
dissatisfied with the job Mr.. Eccles
had done.
Truman to Name Chairman.
The Senate passes only on the
nomination of Mr.. McCabe to BE-
a member of the board. Selection
of the chairman Is the Presidents
right.
While Senator Tobey was silent
on his committee vote, he said at
the time Mr.. McCabe was appointed
that he intended to find out what
forces" persuaded Mr.. Truman to
strip Mr.. Eccles of the chairman
ship.
Senator Tobey pressed this lins
of inquiry at public hearings, but
never pinned anything down.
Snyder Told of Consultation.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder

with him, that he recommended Mr..
McCabe as a board member. but
that he had no idea the President

Cabe said he did the best job pos
sible under the circumstances.
Mr.. McCabe is chairman Of the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
