Oak Wilt Discussed

Oak wilt. although considered the
most serious of all oak diseases, is
not as threatening as many people
believe Dr.. w. f. Jeffers, of the
Plant Pathology Division of the Uni
versity of Maryland, points out that
rumors have greatly exaggerated the
speed with which the disease. is
spreading.
1t is definitely known to occur in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Missouri and i'm one in
stance was observed to spread so
miles in one year. Dr. LETTERS states
that no cases of oak wilt have been
found in Maryland, but warns that it
should not be overlooked as a danger.
In the area in which oak wilt is found,
it can kill red oaks within a few
weeks while white and bur oaks may
be infected without being killed. The
symptoms are a willing of the leaves
in the top of the tree followed by
rapid killing of the leaves throughout
the rest of the tree
DR.. Jeffers adds that Maryland
agricultural officials are giving the
problem of oak wilt serious consider
alton and are anxious to take every
precaution to prevent its spread into
Maryland. There is much to be
learned about the disease, but there
seems to be little danger of oak wilt
becoming problem in Maryland in
the near future.

JoIiot- -Curie Reported Likely
To Aid Russiu's Atom Research
Ousted French Scientist Witnessed
Bomb Tests at Bikini in 1916

Until his custer last month he
had headed the French atomic
program since 1916. He was ap-
pointed by Gen. Charles de Gaulle
then president of France.
Since then his name has been
associated with many Communist
activities. Late last year he at
tended Rome meeting of pro-
Soviet peace partisans and shortly
after visited Moscow. His speeches
have followed the Communist line
without deviation.
In Rome he described the
United States as more vulnerable
to atomic attack than Russia.
ANY idea of American atomic
supremacy over Russia is laugh
able nonsense" he declared.
Under his direction France has
a small atomic pile in operation
French leaders said repeatedly
however, that France was expert
menting with atomic energy only
for peaceful uses.
Joliot-Curie was an assistant
at Is years of age, to Nine. Marie
Curie co-discoverer of radium
In 1926 he married the scientist s
daughter, Irene Curie, also a ply
sicist, and added her name to his
own. In 1888 he won the Henri
Wilde prize and in 1884 the Mar
quet prize, awarded by the French

There was no indication when

an agreement in the dispute would
be held. The strike, meanwhile,
spread in the East and West.

more conferences would be held
later in Chicago.
He added:

Mr.. O'Neill said there was a
full and frank discussion of all
issues and the conferees have re-
turned to their own groups for
further discussion.
He refused to say whether there
were any new proposals advanced.
But even as the union repre-

extended its strike to the south

, By Cecil HoIIond

Diplomatic sources here, it was
learned yesterday. have received
reports that Frederic Joliot-Curie
recently ousted as head OF
Frances atomic energy program
very probably will go to Soviet
Russia to continue his scientific
work.
Joliot- -Curie. a Communist, is
regarded as one of the world S
leading authorities on atomic de-
velopments.
He was dismissed April % from
his post as high commissioner of
French atomic developments after
a Seething controversy over state
mentS he made before a congress
of the French Communist Party
There he pledged that Com
munist scientists would never con-
tribute their genius to "a war
against the Soviet Union.'
There has been much specu-
lation here and abroad on what
Joliot-Curie would do since he nc
longer can carry on his atomic
work in France.
In his capacity as the French
commissioner of atomic energy
Joliot-Curie witnessed the atomic
explosions at Bikini in 1916.
