Dear Editor:
was at Joe Louis visit to
Bunche Park. / imagine you were
too. must say ! was greatly dis
appointed and so were hundreds
of others. l was sick and went,
others in my family passed up
dinner, after working all day,
just to be in time to see Joe. It's
not important what we alone did
but others, lots of others, did
likewise.
There were hundreds of child
rem and grown ups likewise ex-
pectant mothers with babes in
their arms and toddlers swing
ing along beside them all eager
to see Joe. The kids were stumb-
ling over each other, falling
down and being pushed about
something awful. For these
really felt sorry. These, people,
along with myself, are unable fl
nancially to see Joe in his glory,
that is when he is in the ring,
and If they didn't see him then,
well, maybe they won't ever see
him.
When the awaited moment
came and they did get a glimpse:
What? Not even pleasant smile,
not even a friendly wave of his
hand, nor even an acknowledged
nod of his head. Oh. If only he
would have smiled and. said,
"Howdy folk" and Hello Kids"
with friendly wave of his hands
that would have paid in full for
all the bruises and bluffs every
one had received and everyone
would have felt rewarded. But,
alas, there weren't any.
We idiolize Joe and realize
what a great credit he is to our
race. Don't you think he should
be little more responsive TO our
idealism2 Is IL because we are
poor? Is he that unresponsive to
the othersT
I hope l haven't sounded &c
centric or neurotic. II ! have,
hope to be forgiven. If I'm off the
beam please put me straight.
Thoughtfully,
Mrs. d. M. Titles

supply bitches. In many areas of the
state, when the water runs slow and
clear. pond weeds, moss, cattail,
watercress and grasses grow pro-
fusely in these bitches. They slow
down the water, raise the water
level and clog the bitches by ac-
cumulating debris. There are many
ways of relieving this situation and
all Of them are rather costly.
Mechanical means of removing
plant growth in the ditch has al
ways been the surest way. For such
things as cattails, tules and grass,
it is probably still the most practical
method of elimination.
With some of the submersed
plants, such as pond weed and green
algae, which are. very common to
Montana, chemical application is
coming into use rapidly. Aromatic
solvents and benoclor sc have both
been used successfully. The most in
expensive chemical treatment avail
able at present, is the aromatic
solvents.
The chemical is a liquid which is
injected into the ditch above the
location of the weeds. It will only
work effectively on those weeds
which grow entirely under the
water. In making this treatment,
the equipment which is necessary is
q pressure sprayer which will pro-
duce so lbs. of pressure or more at
the nozzle and hold this pressure
continually over period of time.
The first injection is made about
800 to 800 feet above the location of
the first weeds in the canal. The
ditch is drawn down in volume so
that there is only enough water left
to cover the weeds and maintain ac-
tive movement of the water in the
ditch.
The headgates are then closed to
prevent the water from running on
to crops for at least mile past
the area of treatment. A rather ac-
curate determination of the flow in
the ditch is necessary in order to
introduce the right proportion of
chemical A measuring device is
much better than guessing for this
purpose.
Rate of Application
About 5 gallons of chemical are
needed for each cubic foot per sec
ond of water which is flowing in
the ditch after it has been drawn
down for treatment. This amount OF
chemical is required for each "a to
mile of ditch which is to be treated
The sprayer is elaborated by operat-
ing it with the nozzle turned into q
five-gallon can and checking the
time to arrive at the rate of dis
charge in gallons per minute from
the nozzles. If more than one nozzle
is to be used, the rate can then be
multiplied by the number of nozzle:
to get the overall discharge pei
minute.
The amount of chemical and watel
are mixed together in the tanl
which will give the proper rate o
application in the IS to 3O-minut,

Control Water Weeds
By H. L. DUSENBERRY

per million is 4 gallons Of chemical
for each cubic foot of water applied
m so minutes. This is satisfactory
for some Of the more susceptible
weeds.
It IS generally recommended that
from to 10 gallons of chemical be
used per cubic foot of water applied
in SO-minute period. This should
be ample to control the most re-
sistant water weeds. The chemical
is applied to the water surface and
gives quicker mixing if applied be-
low weir or head gate where the
water has considerable turbulence.
The chemical gives milky color to
the stream and moves along with
the current of the stream In the
event the ditch is rather large, sew
eral MOBILES should be used, placed

about Is inches apart. If the water
surface is only or feet wide at
the top, one nozzle will do the work.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-08-15

about Is inches apart. If the water
surface is only 8 or 4 feet wide at
the top, one nozzle will do the work.
Booster Shots
After the treatment has been COM
pleted, the sprayer is moved down
the stream about u mile or to the
distance the milky color has adj
vanced in an hour and a half.
Booster shots should be applied
then to reinforce the concentration
on down the stream. Only about ~
as much chemical is required for
each booster shot as was originally
applied.
The question of whether or not
this material will injure crops and
livestock is not entirely definite, but
many tests have been run and at
the rates recommended, no injury
has ever been observed. The ma
terial will kill fish, crayfish and
most of the aquatic life which is in
the bitches.
Materials for this treatment can
be obtained from many of the chem
ical weed dealers throughout the
state. It is sold under various trade
names. For Montana type "a" ma
terial should be used for most con-
ditions.
Results Not Immediate
Results are not immediate, but
should be observable in to 4 days.
Within days, the flow of the stream
should come back very near to
normal. The plants do not loosen
up and float away, but merely
shrivel up and turn brown and cease
to interfere with flow. The cost is
in proportion to the size of the
stream, but generally is considerably

Attack on Newsman
Goes 10 Grand jury

A charge of assault with a
deadly weapon against Sam Wise,
IS, Of 1885 New Hampshire avenue
NV, was sent to the grand jury
here today.
Victim Of the attack on May 26
was John v. Horner, 40, of 1900

bond.
Mr.. Horner told police a
motorist cut in front of him on
Connecticut avenue the morning
Of May 26. Words were exchanged
at traffic light and Mr.. Horner
turned off Connecticut at Rhode
Island avenue to break off the
argument.
He was followed, he said, and
when he stopped again for a
traffic light, the man approached
his car on foot, smashed the glass

Driver Who 0uiiaIks
Policeman Deserves
Clean Bill, Judge Says

Any motorist who can talk his
way out of a traffic ticket from
q Washington policeman deserves
q clean record. Municipal Court
Judge Frank H. Myers declared
yesterday.
Judge Myers, speaking before
the sixth annual District Traffic
Court Conference. voiced opposi-
ton to the warning system in
traffic violations, largely because
such warnings are not recorded.
Making the warnings a matter
Of official record would prevent a
violator from escaping prosecu-
tion If he used the same excuse
in talking his way out Of a ticket,
it was pointed out.
Central Filing Urged.
The day-long conference heard
appeals for a central record file
to be open "a hours a day, but
Congressional economy action
likely would prevent its establish
ment. according to Traffic Direc-
tor George E. Keneipp. It would
cost $75.0 900, he said.
Traffic records are now kept in
f1Ye placeS-some of them not
available on week ends when the
civilian traffic department is
closed.
Mrs. Mary A. Silver, chairman
of the Board of Revocation and
Restoration of permits, cited a
case in which man was arrested
five times for operating a car
without a permit. Each time he
was fined $100. She contended
the fines should have been
heavier after the first offense, but
pointed out that the Judge did not
have record of the other cases
before him.
Supporting the central record
file. Municipal Court Judge
Thomas D. Quinn admitted a
judge cannot properly sentence a
violator without knowing his
record.
Detroit Duplicates Tickets.
In other discussions:
Capt. Earl P. Hartman of the
Police Traffic Bureau, who recently
returned from survey of traffic
records in Detroit, urged the CEN
tral Office plan. Under the De-
troit system, he said, a policeman
makes out a traffic ticket with
three copies. one to Municipal
Court, which does not now re-
ceive them here.
Nathan M. Lubar, chairman of
the law and regulations committee
OF the Commissioners Traffic Ad-
visory Board. charged that num-
Der OF parking tickets are fixed"
but that no audit has ever been
made of every ticket issued.
In yesterdays afternoon session,
Mr.. Lubar also declared that Mu-
nicipal Court judges do not sit
in traffic cases long enough to
familiarize themselves with traf-
flc problems. He added that
judges who do not do good Job
in Traffic Court should be publicly
criticized. Judges are now as
signed for 80 day periods.

treaty powers in Western Europe.
He indicated he will not spell out
either numbers or types.
IT am not going 10 agree en-
any limitation that would tie the
Presidents hands," said Chair
man Connally. "An emergency
might arise in which we would
have to move quickly to dispatch
ground troops to Europe"
Senator Taft has said he would
support a resolution to authorize
the sending of a reasonable num-
ber of troops to Europe" but the
chairman of the Republican Pol
icy Committee added that "Con-
gress should insist on an overall
limitation" The Ohioan said
that, in his opinion, the number
to be sent is the main issue in
the current Senate debate. Re-
publican leaders decided Thurs
day, however, not to make the
troop resolution a party issue.
Senator Wherry has contended
his resolution is not intended to
settle the issue, but merely to have
the President delay committing
troops to Western Europe until
Congress acts. The Democrats
want the Wherry proposal sent to
committee until Gen. Eisenhower
returns and reports on his survey
of Western Europe as newly ap-
pointed supreme commander OF
the integrated defense forces un-
der the North Atlantic treaty.

port Immediately after the confer
ence and returned to Tokyo.
The flve-star general held his
news conference in Gen. Ridgway' s
briehng room at Army headquar-
tiers. The whole appearance last
ed little more than 10 minutes.
Before he began his formal
statement, Gen. Macarthur told
the correspondents how the new
censorship policy was working at
9th Army headquarters.
He asked if there were any
complaints. None was made.
Repeats Familiar Account.
The censorship has not been
frictionlesS, but newsmen were un-
prepared on the spur of the mo-
ment to make any serious attack
on the problem and apparently
felt that their smaller criticisms
were not of f1ve-star rank. Gen
Macarthur asked the same ques-
ton again on his departure. Again
there was no response.
The supreme commander was
accompanied on the flight by Maj
Gen. Courtney Whitney, head OF
the military government section
and military secretary in Tokyo,
Col. Charles Canada. a persona
aide, and 1t. Col. A. F. Story
his Air Force pilot.
In his statement Gen. Mac
Arthur once again repeated his
now familiar account of how the
U. N. army under his command
uncovered warlike intentions OF
the Chinese in time to prevent
disaster.
With its original mission
against North Korean forces &C
complished, in spite of bitter ano
Furnishing handicaps, it has been
suddenly confronted with the foul
and stealthy stroke of new and
far stronger predatory force" he
said.
This sneak attack far more in
famous than the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor was surreptiously
launched in defiance Of all inter-
nationally recognized obligations

ing belligerency." ....

Iran Travel Restrictions
Hamper Americans
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Jan. 20.-The
Iranian government has frightened
restrictions on travel for Ameri-
cans and other foreigners, it was
disclosed today. The action was
widely but unofficially interpreted
as a further move to soften the
anger of neighboring Russia over
American economic and military
help to this country.
The new restrictions were dis
closed when an Associated Press
correspondent was refused per-
mission to accompany officials of
the United States Embassy mill
tary mission to the port of Ban
dersahapur. where the first big
shipment of American tanks and
field guns is to be unloaded.
Iranian officials say the travel
restrictions are effective for all
foreigners without discrimination
But the principal effect has been
to limit the movement of Ameri-
leans. Travel by American agri-
cultural and highway advisers
here at the invitation of the
Iranian government under Presi'
dent Truman's Point 4 program
to help underdeyeloped areas, ha!
been hampered considerably.

Bao Dai ReshuffIes
Cabinet in ATTEMPT
To Broaden Support
BY the Assoeioted Press

SAIGON, Indo-China, Jan. 20.
-Bao Dai, the French-backed
chief of state in Wet Nam, ordered
a reshuff1e of his cabinet today in
strong effort to take support
away from the Communicated
nationalist rebels in this harassed
country.
The former emperor ordered
dissolution of the cabine. and
charged Premier Tran Van Huu
with the task of forming a new
one which would be more broad
ly representative of the various
parties opposed to the jungle
regime of Moscow-backed I.o Chi
Mimi.
The premier already has begun
consultations with party leaders,
but his task is made difficult by
the reluctance of many Wet
Namese leaders to join any gov
ernment dominated by the
French.
A majority of the politically
conscious Wet Namese has con-
tinued to favor the resistance
movement, which although COM
munist-led contains many purely
nationalist followers. Ho Chi
Minis promise of complete in
dependence from France mas been
the bait by which he has attracted
great support for his regime.
1t is felt, however, that recent
liberal economic concessions made
by France may 1elp Tran Van
HUI in his difficult task.
But many here believe that
until the military balance is
definitely restored to the French,
no popular support will come Bao
Dai's way. The heavily outnum-
bered French in recent weeks have
managed to swing this military
balance closer to their side by
successful defense and counter
offensive against the growing
military might of the rebel forces
in North Indo-China.
