1t was with a distinct and un-
mistakable shock that the news of
the death of Clarence Smith was
received.
There are no superlatives with
which to eulogize Smitty, as he
was always called by his whole
host Of friends. He was a swell
guy.
His passing was premature. He
departed not inthe waning hours
not in the twilight of old age,
but inthe full flush of life. His
quota Of years on this ancient
earth had only run half-measure,
nay, not even that.
Beneath the outward demeanor

Summary Committee
The summarizing committee for
the conference reported that it was
the concensus of the conference that
too great an emphasis in weed re-
search has been placed upon prob
lens other than those concerned
with the control of perennial weeds,
and OF herbicides, especially 2,4-D.
Many of the older methods of
weed control are more effective UNI
der certain conditions than the new
herbicides and should be used. These
methods include: Proper rotations,
cultivation, soil sterilants, semi-soil
~sterilants; selective herbicides and
combinations of the above. Consum-
ers of herbicides were advised to
consult their local agricultural au-
thorities for specific recommended
tons and read labels on herbicide
packages carefully.
Officers
E. W. Whitman, state agronomist,
Boise, Idaho, was elected president
of the conference; w. w. Robbins,
botanist, university of California,
Davis, vice president, and Walter S.
Ball, Sacramento, Calf, was re-
elected secretary : treasurer. The
groups next annual meeting will
be held in Denver, Colo, Feb. l to

(By Charles D. Watkinsl

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, lP)-Rep. Nit chell D.-Wash0 recommended yesterday that the House banking committee consider creating an Alaskan Defense Housing corpora ton adequately capitalized to meet the minimum needs of the Alaska defense area"
 Mitchell, named by the commit tee to investigate Alaska housing, recalled that during the war the defense homes corporation was fi- nanced by a S6OO,OOO,O00 Recon Struction Finance corpOr a Ii O n loan.
 His proposal is in a report to the committee on his investigation.
 He said the lack of housing pre- vented stationing the necessary number of troops in the Territory needed for it's defense.
 Tn nation cannot afford such situation, he said.
 "It cannot afford not to have adequate protection for an i'm portant Far North post such as Ladd Field Airforce Base" Nit chell continued.
 Mitchell urged that immediate steps be taken to improve not only quarters for troops serving in the Territory but for civilian person nel.
 "Certainly on the basis of per sonal experience I agree with the troops stationed in Alaska" Nit chell said "for anyone who has not visited these places it will be difficult to envision the make shift, ramshackle nature of the squalid shelter which goes under the name of housing for our mili- tary forces"
