Move B-36 Group To Spokane, Wash.

WASHINGTON, (P)-A group of big B-36 intercontinental bomb CTS is to be moved to Spokane, Wash, within easy reach of stra- tegic U. s. air bases in Alaska.
 This would place the heavy weights within combat range of railway and industrial centers in Soviet Siberia. By refueling over Alaska they could extend their reach.
 Plans to transfer the bomberS into the Northwest were disclosed by the air force this week in an announcement that the 92nd Bomb Wing would be re-equipped with B-36's. The 92nd is one of two B-29 superfortress wings stationed at Spokane.
 The B-36's, which the air force says can carry 10000 pounds of bombs 500 miles and return, will start moving into the Northwest next year. Eventually the wing will have 30 of the heavyweights.
 Announcement of the move ment pointed up the recent air force decision to transfer fighter intercepter wing headquart S and two squadrons of North American F-86 Sabres-swift jet fighters-from Albuquerque, N. M., to Moses Lake, Wash. This would place the jets in defense range of the Spokane base
 The air force also announced in March that three other fighter squadrons stationed in Washing ton State are to be re-equipped with radar- carrying jet D mes
 Equipment of the Spokane Wing with B-36's will give the U. s. the full B-36 organizational sertngth outlined to Congress by w. Stuart SymingtOn. former air secretary.
 Two other B-36 bomb wings have been designated previously at Fort Worth, Texas, and ore at Fairfield -Suisun Air Base in Cal ifornia. These three wings already have some of the 30 operational planes assigned them.

Will Not Receive Experience Rating Credit for l95O-5l

During the past three years, qualified employers were allowed varying amounts of credit to be used as an unemployment insur- ance tax offset. The total amount of credit was based on a surplus in the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. Recently, the Elm ploym6nt Security Commission notified employers that no surplus existed for use during the fiscal year beginning July l, 1850
 The law is specific and gives the commission no regulatory powers with respect to the deter imitation of surplus" for credit rating purposes. Before credits can be issued, there must be surplus in the fund which exceeds 10f, of the contributions for the calendar year, 1949. It was deter mined that a deficit in the amount of S389, ,416.85 existed on March 15, 1850, which is the cutoff date for experience rating purposes.
 While it is too early to predict whether a surplus will exist on March 15, 1851, it appears at this time that a similar situation will exist on that date-particularly if benefits paid and contributions received are on the same levels as 1949.
 Employers now having bal ance of Experience Rating Credit, may apply such credit for the quarter ending June 30, 1850, not later than July 31, 1850. Contribu- tions for the quarter ending Sep tember 30, 1850, and all calendar quarters thereafter must be paid in full by all employers.

CAB Not Interested In "NOn-Scheds'
 Commission Battle

SEATTLE, (H) - A di spute broke into the open yesterday be- tween Seattle non-scheduled air lines flying to Alaska and some travel agencies.
 Amos Heacock, president of Air Transport Associates, Inc, and al so president of the Independent Air Carriers Conference of Amer ica, placed a warning in the help wanted classified advertising sec tion of the Post t-Intelligencer.
 Don't spend your last dollar to fly to Alaska for a job before you investigate" the ad said. Consult your local union or write the Ter ritorial government employment service in Anchorage first. Pub lished as a public service by Air Transport Associates, Inc"
 Heacock said few travel agen- cies started the war.
 These agencies, he said, began carrying out threats to bring in aircraft from Los Angeles, New York and Miami to haul construc- ton men to Alaska instead of pa tronizing Seattle based non-Sched- uled airlines. He said the reason was because the non-SchedS re- gently refused to boost flight tick et commissions from 10 to PC per cent.
 Heacock said his company, with Golden North, Arnold Air Service and Trans-Ocean Airlincs, have demanded Civil Aeronautics Board investigation of practices of the travel agencies and the out-of- town air carriers concerning SO licitatiOn of jOb-Seekers.
 'The CAB has been informed of this situation but so far it has accomplished nothing" Heacock said. "It has an investigator named Queens here, but the CAB seem to be more interested in the frequency and regularity with which we are operating than it is in protecting the public"
 The Post-Intelligencer said it contacted a man who said he is Queens, he refused to be quoted, questioned the reporters right to take notes, and the interview was terminated.

Parathion Users Warned
on Poisoning

A potent warning on the dangers
of improper use of parathion has
been issued to Delaware fruit
growers by DR.. L. A. Stearns, head
of the University of Delaware's
Department of Entomology.
This insecticide and miticide has
gained wide commercial usage and
its value is recognized in the pro-
lection of agricultural crops. How
ever, parathion is also highly toxic
to human beings; in fact, several
cases of illness and even death
were reported n 1949.
While the University of Della
ware did not recommend parathion
in it's 1850 fruit spray schedules,
local growers will be using sub
stantial quantities on both fruits
and vegetables. DIR. Stearns has
sent a warning letter to growers,
advising them that this dangerous
insecticide should be handled ex-
actly in accordance with the man.

Written at the request of a num-

the latest recommendations on
what kind of vaccine to use, when
and how to vaccinate, observation

based on research results and field

Administration Committee.
Any grower who has not receiv-
ed a ballot may secure one, plus
voting instructions and a copy of
the proposed agreement, by con-
tacting his county PIMA Office.
The referendum, which would
regulate the handling of Irish po-
tatoes grown in Delaware and the
Maryland counties of Worcester,
Somerset, Wicomico, Dorchester,
Talbot, Caroline, Queen Annes,
Kent, and Cecil, will be held from
May % to 26. To be eligible for
counting, ballots must be post
marked not later than midnight,
May 26.
All potato growers in the area
covered by the proposed market
ing agreement and order are urged
to cast their ballots so that the
results of the voting will be truly
representative. At least two-thirds
of the growers voting in the refer
endum, by number or volume of
production, must approve before
the marketing order can be issued.
The order itself does not include
specific grade, size, or quality reg
ulations. All that the order does
is to set up the framework within

ers and the Secretary of Agricul-
ture operate in recommending and
