Insect trouble on most field
crops, gardens and livestock can

supply Of insecticides on hand
and ready TO insect attacks. Look
often for the first of damage
which may be expected.
Horn flies will begin feeding
on cattle this moth. If not con-

Der until there may be several
thousand flies on one animal.
This can cause an average loss
of one-holf pound of beef per day

cows, they will lower milk pro-

To control horn flies, the ami

CREDIT CURB
PUT ON BANKS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 - R -
The government has moved to curb
bank credit in a new stop-inflation
maneuver.
The step was taken by the Fed
eral Reserve Board last night when
it approved a boost from IL to IA
per cent in the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Such rate changes usually spread
to the rest of the Federal Reserve
system.
The idea is this: When Federal
Reserve members banks make a
loan on note, they can get the
money tied up in the loan from a
Federal Reserve bank, less a sum
known as the discount rate. IN
creasing the discount rate thus
tends to restrict bank loans.

COUNCIL ASKED TO
SET up PLANNING
COMMISSION HERE

Mayor Waino Hendrickson las
night asked the Council to set up
city planning commission to act as
an advisory board in further city
development and improvement.
He told the council that the city's
postwar improvement plan, formu-
lated five years ago, has been car
ried out and in some cases exceeded
But, he said, definite program
for future work by the city must
be drawn up.
r. w. Christensen, city planner
with the Federal Housing Admins
tration who has been advising other
Territorial municipalities with re-
gard to their physical growth, was
at the meeting.
Needed Steps
He advised that the two most
necessary steps in setting up COM
prehensive plan for the physical
growth of a city are:
/. Establishing a voluntary ad-
visory group-a city planning COM
mission; and
g. Enacting a coming ordinance
which would keep business buildings
out of residential zones.
He said that in the two days he
had studied Juneau's problems. he
had become convinced that many
of them are the same as those which
have in the past confronted many
cities in the States.
Big Problem
But Juneau's big problem will be
to find room in which to grow" he
said.
Mayor Hendrickson said that a
number of Juneau residents, well
qualified to serve on an advisory
city planning commission, have vol
unteered to do so.
He said a planning commission, II
it is set up, should be appointed by
the council and be non-political. Il
should be empowered to draw up a
priority plan" for future improve
ments and to hear the suggestions
offered by other Juneau citizens.
The council instructed City Attor-
ney Howard Stabler to study ord
finances setting up planning COM
missions in other cities and report
his findings to the council.
Mayor Hendrickson also suggested
that Port Commission be set up by
the city to plan for the future use
of the tidelands and to deal with
harbor problems. He said that the
US. Army Engineers have expressed
their favor of a plan to establish
such a commission.
No action was taken in this mat
ter.

noses at the authorities-with the
help of political pals.

iety. When Carolla was convicted
on a narcotics rap in 1886, immi-
grafton authorities tried to deport
him to his native Italy. However
they found themselves up against
the old political runaround. Year
after year, Congressman Jimmy
Morrison of Louisiana introduced
a succession of bills to keep Carolla
in this country.
Though this held up Carrolla's
deportation for a decade, he was
finally kicked out and flew home
to Italy in style. But ne stayed
only six months, and then was
ordered back to Mexico by Lucky
Luciano, former vice lord OF New

thing immigration authorities knew
