Seattle Surveys Its Housing Needs
tBY Kate Archibald) (For Christian Science Monitor)

SEATTLE, - What do people, door to door, and house by house, want and expect in housing.
 Seattle has found out.
 Results of an extensive housing market survey made last May are now added up and summarized into a report which was presented recently by Dr. Raymond B. Allen president of the University of Washington, to Mayor William F. Devin. This is believed to be the first complete report of its kind made by a large American city.
 As result of the survey, build CTS and bankers now know that the market for the $l0,000 house is down. The market for the com ing year is in the field of the $6, 0-to-S8, 500 houses. Loaning institutions reluctantly are facing the fact that the loan market Is now in the field of loW-coSt hous- ing.
 In a quick summary made by Prof. Bayard o. Wheeler of the University of Washington, direc- tor of the survey, the opening statement reads: Some 32,000 families in the Seattle area plan to buy or build a house within the next three years. They intend to pay an average of S8,443 for their housing out of an average annual income of S3,670."
 The survey was financed by CO., operative community effort. The city paid share, as did the Uni versity of Washington and com munity groups such as the master builders and building industries. The Bureau of Business Research, University of Washington, con- dicted the survey and has pre- pared the report.
 The survey with it's more than 80 questions asked and answered reveals a wide range of informa- ton which is expected to affect the economy of the city in coming years.
 
 This data includes prices buy CTS expect to pay, income avail able for purchase, type of con- struction preferred, room require ments, facilities desired, location preferences degree of satisfaction with existing housing, and much

Declares New Line from Portland Gets Freight
 Business for Alaska

SEATTLE, Jan. 2.-LR- T h e diverting of shipments of ralls and other equipment for the Alaska Railroad to Portland for movement in vessels of the Coastwise Line, has brought protests from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to the De- |partment of the Interior
 Between 99,000 and 100000 tons of rails are needed to rehabilitate the railroad, the Chamber reported, and the comparatively new service inaugurated by the steamship com- pany has been getting the tulk of the movement out of Portland.
 They now operate two Liberty ships northward and expect a third one shortly.
 In reply to Seattle protests, the Interior Department said business would be divided equally between Portland and Seattle. This ratio has not been observed, Chamber spokesmen said. The Coastwise Line plans sailings every two weeks.

STOP TALK,
 RUSSIANS
 ARE TOLD
Call for Action, Not Words, Is Demand Made by
 Lovett on USSR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-4R- Undersecretary of State Lovett call ed on the Russians today for ac- tion-rather than the mere words of Communist leaders outside the USSR-to show that they seriously want better relations.
 His news conference comments were directed at recent statements by Palmiro Togliatti in Italy and Marcel Cachin in France, among others.
 Lovett said the United States is naturally very much interested in the comments of these leaders which other officials have been studying for evidence of new Sov- jet peace offensive"
 But he strongly restated the basic American cold war policy of calling Tor actions rather than words alone if the Soviets and their Communist associates want to tring an im- provement in word conditions.
 On other matters Lovett reported to the news conference:
 l. United States and Britain are working on common approach to the Palestine crisis since both want peace and stability in the Middle East. But he backed up com pletely a British Embassy denial of London reports that Britain had proposed detailed middle eastern plan and sought to bargain with the United States over it.
 2. Wide areas of disagreement remain among the United States, Britain and France over the pro- posed merger of their three occupa- ton zones into a unified Western Germany. Lovett said it is possible some of these disagreements will have to te ironed out at higher lev els-that is among the foreign of fices of the three governments rath- CT than among their representatives in Germany. He declared that a solution is not imminent.

days. At the very first signs Of damage,
you should be prepared to go in immediate
ly and control the ,hoppers, or if most of
your ~grasshoppers are along roadsides, fence
rows, ETC., control should be applied to
these areas just as soon as there is any sign
of movement out of these areas.
For growers who have just marginal pop
~ulations of grasshoppers, control is much
easier if done at the right time, because the
marginal area to be treated is generally
much smaller than the total field.
Is Sprayed or busted Forage Safe?
The U. S. department of agriculture
makes the following recommendations:
Treated forage should not be fed to dairy
COWS, because there's some danger that the
chemicals may enter the milk. Beef cattle
apparently aren't bothered by these insecti-
cides, at rates recommended, but there Is
some accumulation of the chemicals in the
fatty tissue"
It is our feeling, however, that until we
have more and better information ON these

chlordane or two pounds of toxaphene per
acre.
One of the reasons for this increased
amount when used as a dust is that dust is
more difficult to get where you want it than
a spray is. Some of the dust is bound to end
up in your neighbors' fields or in the next
county. This not only does you no good, but
can become the subject of expensive law
suits.
You can buy toxaphene and chlordane for
spraying in the form of emulsion concer-
trates, wettable powders and in oil solutions.
If you spray with ground equipment, the
wettable powder will be the cheapest to use.
If the work is to be done by airplane, it will
probably be sprayed out in a solution of
light oil. Dissolved in oil this way, a pound
or two of insecticide can be applied by using
only a gallon of oil per acre.
When Control G-rasshoppers?
If you wait until they have eaten half your
crop, they will probably get the rest of it

Since these insecticides are poisonous
when eaten in large enough amounts, and
since they accumulate in the tissues of ami
mails, these precautions should be taken
until we know more about the nature of the
insecticides themselves.
