For sprays, the recommendation
is Dithane Z-78 or Zerlate at the
rate of 2 pounds per 100 gallons of
water, or a fixed copper fungicide
at a rate to equal liz pounds of
actual copper per 100 gallons of
water. These should be used dur
ing July or until the crop is set,
then Bordeaux mixture 6-3-100
may be used during August for
the last two or three applications.
For dusts, use Dithane Z-78 at 6
to 8 per cent, or zerlate at 10 per
cent, or fixed copper at 5 to Z
per cent actual copper. Spray or
dust thoroughly to insure complete
coverage of all surfaces of the

And by the hands of the apostles

wrought among the people; :.
There came also a multitude out of

Mary Baker Eddy is: Up 1887.
Jesus established in the Christian
era the precedent for all Christian

tians are under as direct orders
now, as they were then, to be
Christlike, to possess the Christ
spirit, to follow the Christ-eXam-
pie, and to heal the sick as well as
the SHINING. 1t is easier for Chris
tianity to cast out sickness than
sin, for the sick are more wiling
to part with pain than are sinners

they were unable. but because they were
unwilling TO do 30. The local school Of
ficials, faced with the threat OF punishment
for contempt of court, have appealed to
the Governor for financial aid. But 1t Is
hard to see why the State authorities. or.
indeed. the local officials should be respon-
sible for an obligation which rests on the
people of Gloucester County. and which
they have refused to assume.
It is one thing 10 talk of Federal aid or
State aid when money for education re-

different when people at the local level

Mr.. ForrestoI's Illness

Those people with any knowledge Of the
mans long. loyal and able work IN behalf
of his country will rejoice In the hopeful
indications that James Forrestal is on the
mend at Bethesda's Naval Medical Center.
Mr. ForrestaI is victim of what his
physicians speak Of as operational fatigue
"a World War n phrase used to describe
the condition of a man who had been
under fire so long that he had. reached
the breaking point.
1t Is a phrase that is well suited to Mr.
Forrestal's case. For eight years he was
in the thick of the battle which was carried
on night and day behind the front lines
during the war and in the struggle for
decent peace afterwards And he, too,
was under f1re-not the fire of our avowed
enemies, but the even more trying fire of
venomous critics whose weapons were the
lie and outrageous SANDER When the
books are balanced on the war and postwar
period, these people will have much to
answer for.
In the days and weeks ahead, complete
rest will be the best prescription for Mr..
Forrestal No doubt it will be long hard
pull for him. But II man in his situation
can be helped by the best wishes of those
who understand what he has been through,
Mr.. Forrestal can draw without limit on

Schools and the People

The principal argument against Federal
aid to education boils down to q conten-
ton that public schools are q local
responsibility. There is force to this con-
tention as far as 1t goes, but 1t does not
60 far enough to cover the situation
which arises when States or their sub
divisions refuse to measure up to their
responsibility to provide adequate schools.
Down in Georgia the people have voted
to against tax program to raise an
additional $23, 900 900 for school purposes.
Georgia spends $50 a year per pupil, ac-
cording to recent survey. as against .
national average Of $134. Teachers In the
State are underpaid and many Of them
are looking elsewhere for employment.
Are the people of Georgia meeting their
responsibilities to their children? Appar-
emily not. But If Georgians are unwilling.
as distinguished from unable. to provide
more money for education. what argument
can be made for Federal assistance? II
the people of the State are content with
inferior schools, and If schools are q local
responsibility, why should taxpayers in
other States be called upon to subsidize

A somewhat similar situation prevails
in Gloucester County, Virginia. There, the
school officials have been ordered by =
Federal court to furnish substantially
equal school facilities for colored children.

end, but the people In the county voted

Lost Eqyptiuns Found

More questions are raised than are an
swered by the discovery and the explora-
ton of eweseries of ancient tombs at
Memphis in Egypt The civilization to
which they belong fourished $500 years
ago. It declined for reasons and under
influences which even now are not clear.
Nobody knows exactly why the people VINO
developed the great art of the rich land OF
the Nile were incapable of keeping their
culture alive. They perfected pattern OF
human existence unsurpassed anywhere on
earth in any later age. Their skill as
jewellers, for example, is not excelled today.
No modern nation surpasses them In the
weaving of textiles, In lacquer work, In
domestic architecture and decoration
Yet they perished, disappeared from
beneath the sun as completely as their
primitive forebearss No woman of our time
matches Nans-Bast, wife of the temple
scribe, Ka-Nevr. She has no living de-
scendant. The Egyptians of 1s4s are as
different from her as proverbial day Is
from night Her heart was encased In gold
deliberately-as an act of homage on the
part of contemporaries who admired her
beauty and respected her character The
coffin in which she was found required
months to create. Her mummy was per-
haps year in process of construction.
Possibly as much as decade passed while
the tomb and its contents were prepared
for Anal sealing.
Those charged with the task were faith
full to it. They likewise were loyal to
philosophy Of life which emphasized con-
tinuity. Death was to them one experience
among many, not q final, utterly disastrous
event. They. believed in the future de-
voutly, and they proved their belief in terms
of prodigious sacrifice of wealth and labor.
The notion that only the Pharaohs were
endowed with Immortality and therefore
exclusively merited ceremonial interment
has been shown to be mistaken. Even the
humblest folk, even small animals of the
fields, had a chance at eternity.

Too Little or Too Much?

It was a hard decision Whlcn tne HOUSE
had to make in determining how much
money to approve for the National Military
Establishment. The amount voted yester-
day, $15,909, lie, 300, is more than half
billion dollars larger than the sum re-
ouested by President Truman in his budget.
It is the greatest military budget ever pro-
posed for this country in peacetime. Con-
ceivably it could prove to be too much. But
as the House Appropriations Committee
bluntlv pointed out, it also could prove to
be too little.
What the committee sought to do was TO
weigh the calculated risks, on the basis OF
the best available expert opinion from
MANY sources, and to arrive at f1gure on
the generous side rather than on the thrifty
side. In so doing the committee and the
House have taken a realistic view OF the
tense world situation-a view which has
been forced upon us by the ominous trend
of events since the close OF World war II.
Chairman Malon of the subcommittee
which conducted hearings on the DILL
summed up the feeling of his colleagues
with the comment: There seems to be
no road for us to follow except the road
of anxiety and sacrifice.
The Star shares the conviction OF Mr..
Mahon and his group that in a matter
of national security it is safer to err on
the side of excess spending than on made
ouate preparation for an emergency. II,
as the committee says, the threat OF war
is "just deceptive mirage" the substan-
tial increase in air strength provided IN
the bill will be an expensive bit military
muscle-fiexing. But the mere fact that
war does not come will not mean that the
investment has been waste OF money.
For the building up of our defenses-and
of our counteroffensive potential-is OF
itself a very effective deterrent to war.
The increased appropriations would be
used where they would do the most good
as a war deterrent. They wohld aprovide
hundreds of new planes for the Air Force.
with the men necessary to mold them into
additional long-range striking groups.
There would be hfty-eight full-time air
groups instead OF the forty eight proposed
by the President. The Air Force would
still be dozen groups short OF the
strength which it would like to have IN
these unsettled times. Nor would the Navy
have all the planes 1t regards as essential
to its tasks.
The significance of decision to build
up our aerial striking force to the extent
proposed by the House would not be
missed. either by possible enemies or by
our new allies of the Atlantic Pact. To
the thirteen men In the Kremln who
seem bent on international mischief, our
growing long-range bombardment forces
would be a most discouraging factor in
their plans for further aggression-if such
they have. To our friends who look to
us for military aid in support of the
Western alliance, the development would
be a practical demonstration Of our good
faith and of our. determination to fight,
If necessary, to restore firm and decent
pece. The House is on sound ground in
preferring safety to saving as measure
of military spending

Enhancing Western Security

The security of the free Western world
has been additionally enhanced by two
recent developments indirectly related to
the North Atlantic Treaty. Though not
growing out of that treaty, they neverthe-
less are in keeping with its spirit and
purpose, and they serve to underscore its
significance as a defensive instrument
against actual or threatened aggression.
Thus, one of the developments links
Canada and the United States-two of the
treatys twelve signatorieS-in newly or
ganized committee for co-ordinated PLAN
ming on industrial mobilization. In effect
representing a further strengthening of
the partnership that was formalized in 1910
with the establishment of the American
Canadian Permanent Joint Board on De-
fense-the committee is designed to insure
that the economic resources of our two
countries will be integrated as much as
possible and used with maximum efficiency
in case of some sudden world crisis. The
undertaking is one of the measures envi-
stoned in the Ottawa Washington accord
of February, l947, for .peacetime collabora-
tion on mutual security, but it has the
added virtue of helping to buttress the
Atlantic Pact.
The same holds true for the second
development. This involves an Anglo
American agreement - reliably reported,
though not officially announced - under
which technical facilities" will be avail
able in the United Kingdom to the United
States Air Force for atomic bombardment
In the event of war. The agreement Is in
line with the Joint military planning that
has been going on ever since America and
Britain established the Combined Chiefs of
Staff here in 1912 Since w day, the
planning has been defensive in nature.
The understanding on bonibardment "fa-
cilities" is also defensive in nature. What
it is meant to do is to insure that If peace
comes to sudden and violent end, the
USAF will have means placed at its dis
poSal to strike back swiftly at the aggressor
for the survival of our own country as we'll
as the survival of the Atlantic Community
as whole, including Canada Britain and
the nine Western European nations sub
scribing to the great new pact for mutual
security.
OF course, to be wholly effective, the
North Atlantic Treaty will have to be
backed up by more than our agreement
with Canada for joint planning on indus
trial rehabilitation, or our agreement with
Britain on "faciliti 81 for atomic bombing
Yet even though some measure of peace
time military lease-lend will be needed in
addition, those two understandings obvi-
ously strengthen the pact In way that is
likely to impress the Kremlin To that
extent they certainly help to promote the
security of the free world

as might be- supposed at first glance. The
worlds interest again Is directed to the
Egypt of antiquity. mystic Egypt, mysteri-
GUS Egypt. Once more modern scholars are
drawn to the unanswered questions: Who
were these people? What caused their dis
appearance? If the now rifled tombs serve
no other purpose, they at least quicken our
imagination with regard to the lost ciyili-
zation of the Nile, a civilization which
fourished and then diminished In the
ratio of rising and falling genius shared
by thousands of men, women and children
of whom Ka-Nevr the scribe. Nans-Bast
his wife and their daughter were repre-
sentative.

Stronger Than We Think

General Eisenhower made point in a
statement at Key West the other day
which is worth keeping in mind.
He said that we have been underesti-
mating ourselves. "We've got the finest
Army, Navy and Air Force in the world"
he declared, "and men with brains to run
them. Our country is strong, and getting
stronger. We should recognize that fact
in settling world problems"
We have not always acted as though
we knew our own strength. At times
kind OF unreasoning fear, which came
from Understanding our relative
strength, has kept us from doing things
that ought to have been done or has
unduly delayed us.
But we seem to be pretty well past that
stage. We are committed, or are in pro-
cess of being committed, to policies de-
signed to keep the peace by hating
aggression before it starts. There is
excellent reason to believe that these
policies will be successful If we adhere
resolutely to them. Conversely, they will
almost surely fail II we permit an under
estimate of our own strength, or an over
estimate of Russia's. strength, to cause
US to waver or retreat.
It Is not too much to say that every
hope for the future depends on how we
employ our great strength II we recognize
that strength for what 1t is, and II we
apply it to ends that we know to be right,
there will be peace in the world, and not
another war
