Determined to adjourn Con-

eide over the week end how
much new authority President
Truman should be given to check

Their first move. starting Monday,
however, will be to try to force

the Southern Democrats.
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee expects
to dispose of the poll tax issue by
Wednesday and then turn to any
bills the Banking Committee may
bring out to check the high price
level.
With G. o. P. leaders adamant
against the administration request
for standby power to restore price
and other controls on selected COM
modities. it is probable they will
confine their action to proposals to
restore credit controls and to regu-
late bank reserves.
The Republicans are prepared
then to close down the Legislative

in November who is right and who
is wrong in the political name

The volley of charges Democrats
and Republicans have been hurting
at each other during this first week
of the special session make it clear
that little would be accomplished by
a prolonged session in the midst of

Political Crisis Denied.
It was believed that Arpad SEA-

host could be found. the project
had to be abandoned.
One of Clausen's men, DR.. H. w.
Allen, found the answer in dump
of old potatoes. There, feeding
on the larvae of the potato-tuber
moth was none other than Mac1O-
centrns. Now Moorestown had
what it wanted. 1t had found a
prolific moth host which grew
the wasp warriors by the mill
lion - and dirt cheap.
DR.. Aliens associate, M. H.
Brunson, showed me how the eggs
of this moth host are placed on
pitted potatoes. The female wasps
are introduced, and in about two
days the lot of potato worms is
thoroughly impregnated with wasp
eggs. When the worms emerge
from the potatoes, the wasp egg
inside comes alive, gobbles up the
moth larva and, when the cocoon
opens, out flies a wasp.
The wasps are packed in ice
cream cartons for shipment to dis
persal areas. Inside the carton is a
bit of excelsior for the wasps to
cling to, mixture of honey and
agar for food, and a shot of car
bon dioxide to keep them subdued
while they're being packed.
The Cost Means Nothing
DURINc peak production these
bugs are exported at the rate of
$4,000 per day. And the entire
process costs the taxpayer less
than $40 an acre, infinitesimal
compared to the millions of dollars
worth of fruit that was once
destroyed.
Once Moorestown proves
parasite. the job of mass rearing is
turned over to private insectaries
and they supply the growers di-
rect. However, growers clamor for
Mporestown entomologists to come
and use their paintings for para
site experimentation. It's a sure
way to an almost pest-free crop.

BATTLE OF THE BUGS
Continued from page eight

The anti-pest war is an all
year job and new methods of con-
troll are constantly being devel-
oped. Out in California, Professor
Harry S. Smith of the University
of California and his staff have
introduced an Australian beetle
which feasts on the evil Klamath
weed, plant-choker and cattle
poisoner. And at Moorestown DR..
Sampson R. Dutky discovered a
bacteriuun whose spores infect the
Japanese beetle grub with a fatal
blood or milky disease"
Undiscxizzainat ting Apostles
From the entomologist's point
of view the best assurance against
pest outbreaks is a plethora of
parasites with undiscriminating
appetites. Like the wasp Tricho-
grammd evanescenS, for example.
1t can be mass produced and loves
the offspring of several different
pests including the European corn
borer, the codling moth, the Orien-
tai fruit moth and the sugar.
cane moth borer.
Of course, parasites are not the
only means of checking pests.
Insecticides are widely employed.
The approach of the Department
of Agriculture is to dovetail the
two techniques, and there have
been cases where parasite intro
duction has reduced the number of
sprayings considerably at great
saving to the growers.
Besides being expensive and
difficult to control. insecticides
have another disadvantage. Pests
develop immunities in much
the same way as human
disease germs do to new won
der drugs.
Given time, any insect might
eventually resist any poison. 1t is
this possibility which makes many
entomologists believe that in the
long run beneficial parasites are
the only sure-fire weapons in the
war against pests. The End

Phone Union Board
Turns Down Offer
OF Wage Increase

Wage increases offered by the
Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co. to the Virginia division of the
Communications Workers of Amer
lea were rejected yesterday by the
CWA national executive board.
In a telegraph poll, the 13-mem-
ber board decided the 81 to 81 weekly
increase for operators and clerks
and the 81 to $6 weekly raise for
craft employees did not meet the
demands generally made of Bell
System companies this year.
Earlier last week two Washington
divisions of CWA and the Maryland
division turned down similar offers
made by C. & P. Unlike the Vir-
ginia division. they rejected the Of
fers at the local level and did not
send the proposals on to the ma
tional board for final action.
Three-Year Contract.
All four negotiations were based
en- wage-reopening clauses appear
ing in the 3-year contracts signed
by the company and unions last
May. Since there were no agree
ments on higher wages, al. the con-
tracts are subject to expiration next
May unless some settlement is
reached before then.
| Altogether, more than $4,000 en-
ployes. are affected by the wage dis
| cuSSionS.
Similar stalemates were reported
| elsewhere in the Nation where other
CWA divisions were bargaining. But
the word from the union was that
a strike Is not now in the picture
Would Start at Once.
A. L. Lambdin, c. & P. vice presi-
dent and general manager, eX-
pressed disappointment in rejection
of the Virginia offer.
1--WE stood ready to place these
increases in effect as of Sunday
today, he said. 1--WE now learn
that this agreement, reached in good
faith with the local union, has been
rejected by the CWA Executive
Committee in Washington"
Union officials said the executive
board turned down the proposal be-
cause it failed to provide adequately
for lower bracket employees. In ex-
amining Bell System proposals gen.
orally last week, Joseph A.. Beirne,
CWA president, said they satisfied
portions of the groups but that so

fered from nothing to 5 and 712
