Shown here is the 2-cylinder model of the GIN
Series II Diesel engine which is available in 2, 8,
4 and 6-cylinder sizes delivering up to 1913 con-
tinuous heavy-duty brake horsepower. The
sturdy 2-cylinder unit produces 46 continuous
B.H.P. at 1900 RPM. and it uses only 3.3
gallons of fuel oil per hour When producing this
power continuously. Product of the skill gained
in building more than a quarter million two

GraiN Storage

Grains in farm storage are lost to
the extent of 5 percent per year be-
cause of insect pests, according to
the older estimates. New studies,
however, now indicate that losses
to stored grain in farm bins may
be from 1 to 2 percent per month
for the first six months after har-
vest. Those new estimates do not in
clude hidden weevil damage, which
may become apparent only after
the grain is in trade channels. If
these new estimates are true, the
older ones were short by more than
$3.50, 100000.
Stupendous losses, such as these,
are mostly preventable by known
methods of insect control now avail
able.

Insecticides Can Save
Billions Annually

USING NEW and more effective
insecticides enable entomologists to
prove the vast amount of damage
certain insects do to growing crops.
Who could have guessed that DOT
applications would increase potato
production by 80 percent? Or that
alfalfa hay production could be
doubled by killing the insects that
reduce the crop? Or that alfalfa seed
production could be increased in
some instances by 600 percent by the
use of an i~nsecticide?
In 1888, the bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine issued a cir
cular entitled. "LosseS occasioned by
Insects, Mites, and Ticks, in the
United States" 1t brought together
the best estimates then available On
the losses caused by about go of the
more important insect pests. The
e~ntomologists thought those particu-
lar pests caused losses amounting
to more than ST., 500, 000, 900 annually,
without including many other insect
pests that often cause considerable
damage.
Ten years later, in 1913, the best
estimates available led entomolo-
gists to consider the annual losses
due to insects in this country at ap-
proximately $4,000, 0 $1,000.
Horribly
The hornfly, which feeds on cattle,
is considered by most entomologists
to be in the 500, 600, 900 a year pest
class. This insect wasn't even men
toned in the 1888 estimates. The
hornfly is a classic example of an
insect causing huge losses almost
unknown, except to a few entomolo-
gists. 1t took the development Of
DOT to show actual loss figures.
Corn growers think adapted by
brid varieties, special planting ar
rangements, new methods of cult
walton, heavy fertilization, and pos
sibly irrigation, will produce yield'
far heavier than those obtained nor
mally today. Far-seeing entomolo
gists say 25 percent additional yield
of corn can be obtained by prope
insect control methods. They sd.
earworms, corn borers, aphids, flei
beetles, rootworms, and a host o
other insect pests, limit corn produc
ton by at least that amount. The,
add that corr is just one crop to con
slider in this connection.

to feel also that an attempt to

Britain and YugosIaNa
Discuss Trade Accord
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Preliminary
talks are under way on a new
long-term agreement to expand
trade between Britain and Yugo-
slavia, the Board of Trade dis
closed today.
Sir Charles Peake. British Am
bassador in Belgrade, is expected
to send along a report soon on
discussions with Yugoslav off,
cials. Board of Trade experts
probably will leave in about two
weeks to negotiate terms.
Yugoslavia has been excluded,
despite it's protests. from the new
Economic Council Of Mutual Aid
formed by the Soviet bloc to slim
ulate trade among its member
nations.
This widening of the split be-
tween Marshal Tito and the gov
ernments of the other Communist
countries obviously may enhance
chances for Britain to play a
bigger role in Yugoslavia's export
import trade. British sources say.

Genoa Opera House
Rebuilding Pushed foI
Start Of Holy Year

GENOA, Italy, Feb. II (CDN -
For two years now, a dozen Ital-
ians have been chipping away on
stone, here in Genoa.
They are rebuilding historic old
San Carlo Felice Opera House,
fattened by direct hit more than
four ago when the Allies dropped
blockbusters on Northern Italy to
chase out the Nazis.
The Genoese say it's difficult to
see any progress since the work
began except that three of the
workmen are getting fatter and
four others have new babies.
Now. however, Genoa means
business. The crew of workmen
is to be doubled. They are going
to be urged to chip twice as fast.
Plan January l Opening.
The goal is gala reopening of
the opera house next January
when an estimated 100000 for
eigners start pouring into Italy for
the 1850 Holy Year ceremonies.
San Carlo Felice once consid-
cred itself superior to La Scala
in Milan which considers itself
to the Metropolitan in
New York.
Genoese say Gigli, greatest of
Italian del canto tenors, always
found Genoa audiences more re-
sponsive
The opera house is in the Piazza
Ferrari, hub of the city and just
across the street from the Bank of
Rome. Many of the main build
ings escaped ruin but San Carlo
Felice was left a shambles.
Most of Docks Repaired.
Most of the famous Genoa docks
have been repaired. But there are
many vacant blocks in the central
area which have been cleared of
rubble from heavy bombings.
Genoa has been refurbished
more rapidly than either Naples or
Palermo, Sicily, but much still re-
mains to be done. Because it is
the chief port for the industrial
cities of Milan and Turin and has
considerable manufacturing of its
own, it moves at a slightly faster
pace than warmer Southern Italy.

Fund d-Raising Dispute
Brings Resignation Of
Two Top zionists
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. TIA dis
pute over the conduct of fund
raising to aid Israel has led to the
resignation of two top American
Zionists from the worlds highest
Zionist council, the Jewish Agency
Executive.
They are DR.. Abba Hillel Silver,
head of the American section of
the Jewish Agency, and DR.. Eman-
uel Neumann, president of the
Zionist Organization of America.
They withdrew yesterday from
the Executive in a protest against
the reelection of former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, jr.. as the 1949 chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal and
Henry Monitor as its executive di-
rector.
The united Jewish appeal is the
general Embarrassing agency for
various aid organizations.
Control of Funds at Stake.
A key issue in the dispute is
said to involve the question Of
whether aid funds collected for
Israel shall be controlled by the
Israeli government. or remain
under control of the world Zion
ist movement.
DR.. Silver and DR.. Neumann
were reported to incline toward
the latter view.
Four of the 19-member Execu-
tive. which had called a special
worldwide meeting in an unsuc-
cesful effort to patch up the dis
pute, sided with DR.. Neumann
and DR.. Silver.
The Executive voted not to ac-
cept the designations, and ex-
pressed hope the two officials
would reconsider.
Mr.. Morgenthau, who had
headed the United Jewish Appeal
for the last two years, repeatedly
refused to take the job again un-
less Mr.. Monitor was reinstated
as Executive director.
Concentration of Power Seen.
Mr.. Monitor had resigned the
post as a result of the dispute. He
also had withdrawn as executive
director of the United Palestine
Appeal, a principal Jewish appeal
beneficiary, in which the contro-
versy is said to have originated.
In a joint statement, DR.. Silver
and DR.. Neumann said the eXecu-
tive's action spells overwhelming
concentration of powers in Mr..
Morgenthau and Mr.. Monitor
chiey the latter. . The wretch
ed controversy from which we are
still suffering was organized and
directed by Mr.. Monitor"
Berl Locker, head of the Jeru-
salem section of the Jewish Agency
and chairman of the special world
session here. said after the meet
ing that it "is vital for the success
of the 1949 campaign that Mr..

Liquor Dealer Seeks
$4,000 in Trust Suit

Maurice Milstone, Washington
liquor dealer. yesterday brought an
antitrust action in District Court
seeking treble damages of $4,000
against the Middle Atlantic Dis
tributors. Inc. and three of the
corporation officers.
The complaint charges the
corporation with attempting to
fix prices at which whiskies and
alcoholic beverages are to be sold
to consumers.
1t asserts the distributors entered
into agreements with retail deal
ers under which the latter agreed
not to sell the defendants prod
ucts at less than the price fixed
by the defendants. and the dis
tributors agreed not to sell their
products to retailers who refused
to agree to sell at fixed prices.
Mr.. Milstone. owner of Milstone's S
Acme Liquor Store, 927 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, asserts he was
unwilling to enter into such an
agreement, and as a result the
distributors have refused to do
business with him since February
20. 1948.
The suit says the defendant cor
poration is the exclusive distribu-
tor here of products including
Canadian Club. Hiram Walkers
Imperial, Walkers De Luxe. Hiram
Walkers Distilled London Dry Gin
and Drambuie.
The Federal Trade Commission
filed a complaint on January 18
charging the Middle Atlantic Dis
tributors with price fixing. The
complaint seeks a cease and de-
SiSt order.
William r. Lichtenberg, as coun-
sci for Middle Atlantic, said there
has been no violation of the Sher-
man Antitrust Act by the corpo-
ration. He said an answer to the
FTC complaint would be filed in
a day or so.

West Europe Reported
Still Hoping 10 Get
u. 5. Pledge on War
By the Associated Press

Western European nations were
reported still hopeful today of OBJ
tanning American agreement to
some open promise of military
support in the proposed North
Atlantic security treaty.
Diplomatic informants predict
ed that when the Europeans next
meet with Secretary of State
Acheson. they will again press on
this point.
They are seeking to include in
the defense clause of the treaty
the clearest possible statement of
unity of the forces of the West
against any future aggressor.
They are expected to urge on
Mr.. Acheson some reference at
least to the possibility of military
action by all of the members of
the security organization in event
of an attack.
It is understood that. provided
the military" reference was
subordinate to other kinds of
action along diplomatic and po-
litical lines, Senator Vandenberg,
Republican. of Michigan would
have no personal objection to the
wording. - ssass -
Wants Compliance With Charter.

to be concerned with the idea
that the treaty should conform
strictly to the spirit of the United
Nations Charter in which military
action is listed as the last Of
many steps toshet taken in. stop 4
ping or preventing an aggression:
The Senator's position is i'm
portant because Of his leadership
among Republicans on foreign
policy.
Mr.. Acheson himself indicated
yesterday that the problem is
largely one of wording rather
than a question Of intent.
He told a news conference that
there are no real differences be-
tween himself and Senate lead
ers "in regard to the objectives
which this Government is seeking
to accomplish"
He then cited President Tru-
mans inaugural speech. In it MIR.
Truman declared the purpose OF
the alliance is to discourage any
future aggressor by confronting
him with the certainty that If he
attacked he would be met with
Overwhelming force"
The major difficulty in making a
completely explicit statement OF
this purpose in the treaty arises,
officials say. from the constitu-
tional provision that only Congress
has the power to declare war.
