Aerial Attack
Gets Hoppers

UNIV EfSS In If1E CnOUcdd area
know that their winter wheat won't
be eaten by grasshoppers as fast az
it comes up this fall.
That's because of the success of the
grasshopper control program just
completed in Teton county, the larg-
est cooperative undertaking of ita
kind in the state this year.
Results were declared excellent
by Alfred H. Baumhover, bureau of
entomology, U. S. department OF
agriculture, following a careful sur
vey of the area treated. The CAM
paign was supervised by DR.. J. H.
Pepper, state entomologist, and Ray
mond Kelly, Teton county extension
agent.
86.0o0-Acre Block
More than $4,000 acres in one solid
block were treated during the cam
paign. Boundaries of the area were
roughly from Choteau to Dutton and
from Collins to Bole.
Ten carloads of bran impregnated
with approximately 1000 gallons OF
toxaphene were used in the project.
The poison was furnished by the
federate government, mixing was
done by the county and application
was paid for by the growers in the
area.
The application was done under
contract by flying service head
quartered at Choteau at a cost to
growers of 21 cents an acre. Using
five planes the company completed
the campaign in 500 hours flying
time.
The poison, made up of 1-pound OF
technical toxaphene to 100 pounds Of
bran, was applied at the rate of 10
pounds to the acre. The planes fly
ing at an altitude of SO feet covered
a strip about SO feet wide on each
run. They flew in strips 2 miles
long, making one round trip for
each load and averaging one round
trip each IL minutes, including load
ing time.
All Land Treated
Every foot of ground in the area
was covered-crop, fallow range and
waste land alike. Roadsides were
given an extra dose.
The control program was under
taken because the grasshopper infes-
tation of the area had become so
severe that some growers had been
obliged to give up planting of win
ter wheat. After treatment it was
found that almost all grasshoppers
had been killed.
1t is expected that infestation next
year will be greatly reduced as a
result of the campaign though some
eggs had been laid before the pro-
gram got under way.

fl C0MMIE5 TO BE SENTENCED
 ON TOMORROW
(Bv The Associated Press)

The II convicted Communist leaders are to be sentenced tomor- row. With their conviction last week came the announcement that they were liable to maximum sen- tence of ten years in prison and a fine of S10,0OO each.
 However, the Smith Act-under which the Reds were tried-was amended after passage, and penal ities were reduced. So the top Reds face a maximum of only five years, though the penalty of a $10,000 fine still is possibility.

Berlin Blockade Lifted With
 Hollywood Fanfare
tBy Daniel De Luce)

BERLIN, (P) - The Russi S pulled up their German iron cur tain yesterday, ending their 327- day old Berlin blockade, major sore spot of the cold war.
 Ground traffic flowed on through the day, by rail and by highway, pouring supplies and passengers into the long-besieged old capital city from the west for the first time in nearly II months.
 The blockade-lifting had all the fanfare of a Hollywood movie pre- miere, and the people, convinced that at last this phase of the cold war was ended, whooped it up in the flag-bedecked city.
 The Russian and western allied military outdid each other in cour- tesy as the barricades went down ending the blockade, and the al lied counterblockade. There was a general display of good will and smiling readiness to cut red tape.
 But the western allies were talk ing nothing for granted. Their air

TRUMAN NEWS 

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman told his news conference yesterday he still sees a need for a 4,000,000,000 increase in taxes to avoid a deficit and retire part of the public debt.
 He believes in and has been practicing rigid government econ omy, he said.
 He wants to apply between two billion and five billion dollars toward the public debt.
 Answering reporters who asked whether he still felt a four billion dollar increase is necessary, the President said that would be worked out when the amount of the deficit is determined. Later he said he did not expect any change in the tax program he proposed last January.
 The last estimate of a deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30 placed it at between $6OO,O0O,OOO and $7OO,OOO,OOO. [,

Fly Anti-Rabies Serum To Ship In Mid-Pacific

SEATTLE, (P)-A radioed plea for an anti-rabieS vaccine was re- ceived from the army transport General Walker in mid-Pacific last night, the coast guard report ed.
 The message said that a soldier aboard the transport had been bit ten by dog that later developed rabies.
 The coast guard said here that a B-17 took off from Adak in the outer Aleutians to rendezvous with the General Walker, 65G miles south of Adak, but was turned back when the Hawaiian Sea Frontier said it would send a navy patrol bomber to the scene.
 Reason for the change in plans was given as the PBY'S greater cruising range.
 The transport, en route from San Francisco to Yokohama, was instructed to proceed toward Mid way to meet the navy plane, the coast guard said.
 (At Anchorage, Alaska, it was reported that a B-17 from the Tenth Rescue Squadron at Elmen- dorf Field also was sent out with serum and expected to reach the transport about 10 pm. last night. The coast guard, however, said it had no word of that plane making the flight0

Work Round The Clock Fighting
 Idaho FlOOdThreat

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho, (P)- Dike workers were on a 24-hour basis today to keep the swelling Kootenai river off 30,00O acres of rich farm land and out of this northern Idaho town.
 Late last night the river stood slightly above 26-feet-five feet below flood stage. A succession of hot days has melted mountain snow packs and is driving the river upward at the rate of three and one-half feet day.
 Farms on the valley floor were most seriously threatened. The flood of 1948 ripped huge roles in the dikes and workers are strug- gling to strengthen patches and bring the levees to safe height.
 Heavy equipment and 160 men dispatched by the corps of army engineers at Seattle were expect ed here to help in the emergency work.
 Dikes around the town will be raised to the 37-foot level, almost two feet above the peak of last years flood.
 The flood picture in the rest of the northwest was dangerous in certain localities but gave no in- dication of major Columbia River flood.
