for negotiations which would
lead to solution Of the nationali-
cation dispute.
But Acheson said the offer was
turned down very abruptly. He
added that negotiations have
collapsed Tor the time being.
Acheson also said the Ameri-

disappointed by this development.

door to a friendly settlement is
still open

Red Roundup
Has Started
In New York
Joint Announcement
OF Arrests Made By
FBI And Attorney
General

NEW YORK, June 2O.-(P).-
Special agents of the F.B.I. have
begun a roundup of leading
Communist party officials in
New York City. Among the first
to be brought in was a man rec
ognized as Alexander Treachten-
berg, member of the party
national committee.
All the top Communist leaders
are under jail sentence upon
conviction Of conspiracy.
The FBI roundup came one
month after the selection of a
federal grand jury to delve into
evidence related to subversivd
activities.
1t was reported during tho
night that the jury would hand
up an Indictment naming at least
81 persons.
In Washington, it was an
that the FBI had seized
II more alleged Communist par
ty leaders on charges of plotting
the overthrow OF The u. S. gov
eminent.
The arrests were carried out
in New York and Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.
4 joint announcement of the
arrests was made by Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath and
FBI Director ]. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover and McGrath said each
Of those rounded up now hold or
have held official positions in
the Communist party Of the u. S.
The arrests follow by only two
weeks the u. S. Supreme Court
decision upholding the convic-
tons OF II top party leaders on
charges of conspiring to teach
and advocate the violent over
throw If the government.
That Supreme Court decision
gave the Justice Department the
go-ahcad for this mornings ar
rests.
II had been waiting for mdre
than two years for the green
light to proceed against lesser
lights Of the Communist party.
Some officials have said prose-
cutions against the Communists
could run as high as 10000.
However, most indications arc
that the government will not try
to move on such broad basis
at this time.
Justice Department officials
take the view that those arrest
ed today represent a so-cailed
second layer" OF Communist
party officialdom.

Bugs in Your Bins?
Better Check Once o. Month
ByLP. CORKINS, Asst. Stare Entomologist

IT is POSSIBLE for grain which
went into farm storage in very good
condition to become bug infested.
When this happens it is usually the
result of either improper ventila-
ton or moisture from snow and rain
getting into the bin.
Grain which goes into farm stor-
age in poor condition (high moisture
content and broken kernels) is more
likely to become bug infested. I'm
fortunately, substantial amount of
grain went into farm storage in poor
condition in Montana last fall.
There is only one sure approach
to this problem, that is to inspect
your grain in farm storage at least
every month. The grain should be
probed thoroughly. The things to
look for in these monthly inspections
are high temperatures in the neigh
borhood of 80 to 80 degrees F., cores
or wet soggy pockets and insects.
In many cases the insects may
be difficult to see; for example, grain
mites (Which actually are not in
sects) are very small, and other
beetles or worms which may be

present may pass undetected unless
numerous.
If there is any question as 10
whether or not insects are pres
emf. If would be good idea 10
send in sample for microscopic
examination. Grain implies
should be sent TO Jack Corkins.
Assistant State Entomoiogist.
Montana State College. Boze-
man. Montana.
If your farm stored grain is bug
infested, the first step is to remove
and eliminate all of the cores and
wet pockets in the granary. I'm
fortunately, fumigation has not
proved satisfactory under many
Montana farm conditions. In gen.
eral, granaries are not tight enough
to insure good funigation. In addi-
ton, the basic difficulty is that the
grain is out of condition, and funli-
cation does not correct this.
If it is at all possible, the best ap-
proach is to turn the wheat and,
where practical, run it through a
fan mill. This procedure will at
least in part put the grain back into
| good condition. Then when return
ing the grain to the bin, it is adj
visable to add a pyrenone protec-
tant. Pyrenone wheat protectant
should be used when the grain is
intended for human consumption.
If the grain is to be used for animal
feed, pyrenone grain protectant
should be used. These protectants
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-01-15

can be procured in a dust form and
should be thoroughly mixed with the
grain at the rate of 100 pounds of
the protectant per 1000 bushels of
grain.
