Are eHusts
At Two Fetes

DR.. and Mrs. Frederic Chapman
put in a busy week end but Ger
tainly gave many of their friends
a great deal of pleasure. They
were hosts at two cocktail parties,
one on Saturday afternoon and
one yesterday. Both were from 6
to and took place at their 44th
street residence.
Not harassed at all by the hard
work of entertaining, vivacious
Betty Chapman said, But this is
such fun" 1t was obvious that
she meant it.
At least two turkeys had a two
day reprieve since the hors
d'ouevres were all sorts of hot
tid-bits including fried shrimp and
cheese sticks.
The three young Chapmans,
Susan 10, Deborah and Wicks,
who claims 4 years, were all very
much on hand. The two sisters
wore matching dresses with Susan
in mauve to show off her pretty
titan hair and Deborah in pink
for Saturdays party. Yesterday
they agreed in color too with both
in very Christmassy green frocks.
1t was doctors day on Saturday
and Mrs. Chapman chose a black
brocaded afternoon dress to greet
her husbands colleagues. Among
them were DR.. and Mrs. Lauriston
Hardin, jr., DR.. and Mrs. Frank
MacMurray. DR.. and Mrs. William
Anderson. and DR.. and Mrs. Hill
bert Sabin.
Yesterday the hostess wore a
lovely gun metal gray silk taffeta
cocktail dress which was strapless.
Among the 100 guests expected
were Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoy
Kaufman, Canadian Counselor
and Mrs. George Ignatieff, Mr.
and Mrs. David Yerkes, DR.. and
Mrs. Gerhard Gesell and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Dudley.

and Mrs. Henry Ecker, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leslie Douglas, Mr.. and Mrs.
Grovner Chapman, DR.. and Mrs.

to give little Christmas cheer.
They were Commissioner of the
United States Court of Claims
and Mrs. Marion T. Bennett and
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter Magill. Both
parties took place at the hosts
residences.
The Bennetts, however had
more reason than just seasonal
gayety for their party. It was in
honor for Mrs. Marguerite S.
HadeSty who has just completed
an oil portrait of the hostess. The
work was shown at the gathering.
Mrs. Hadesty is now residing
in Washington having returned
with her husband, Mr.. M. N.

of duty in Japan. He is an official
with the State Department with
the Point Four program. The ar

At the end of the luncheon,
which was served at two tables

to all the friends of the Repub-
lie in the United States, both

$40 of this oil was sold by six
Of the Big Seven largely to their
own subsidiaries in the nations
receiving aid.

A subsequent price adjust
ment resulted in this oil being
sold in Europe for S1.75 but
when shipped halfway around
the world to the u. S. the price
was SLAB. This resulted in the
shut down of independent U. 8.
producers, drowned out by the
flood of oil imported by the Big
Seven.
The report also gives Arann-
co.'s net profit for three years
when the majority of sales was
to nations receiving u. S. aid.
In 1948 it was 9S.9 cents per
barrel, in 1949 95.4 cents, in
1850 84.5 cents.
These and many other facts
are reasons why something will
have to be done, Washington
feels, especially as this report
has aroused more foreign inter-
est than any Congressional re-
port in the past. If nothing else,
it is felt, world opinion will force
action.
AS to be expected, there are
many solutions advanced. One,
of course, is the SOcialistic plan
to natiOnalize the oil industry.
The Big Seven seek to justify
their revealed tactics on the
basis of national welfare.
II Il 4
But the most hopeful sign seen
of an American settlement of
the problem is the suit filed by
Justice Department for $67 mil
lion to recover alleged oil COM
pany overcharges to the Mar
shall Plan.

This could be the first of a
series of Justice Department
actions under the antitrust
laws to put the u. S. oil indus
try on a free, independent and
competitive basis. With the Is
sue now dragged out into the
open, anything can happen.

Control Now For Some
Orchard Pests

Now is a good time for two ORCH
ard choresHdormant spray on
peaches and control of apple fire
blight and black rot.
The dormant spray on peaches
can be applied now or in the spring
before buds swell. Fall treatment
is preferred, says DR.. LA. Stearns,
entomologist of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. Re
commended rates and materials
are:
For leaf curry only, use 5 gallons
liquid lime sulfur per 100 gallons
of water, or 4-4-100 Bordeaux mix
ture.
For leaf curry and San Jose scale,
use IL gallons liquid lime sulfur
per 100 gallons of water.
For leaf curl, scale insects, and
red mite, use a 4-4-100 Bordeaux
mixture and 2 percent superior oil,
or 3 percent regular oil. Where
terrapin scale is abundant, increase
the superior oil to 8 percent and
regular oil to percent.
No spraying should be done when
temperatures are below 40' F.N
During 1852, apple fire blight
and black rot (also called frog-eye
leaf spot) diseases were worse
than usual. Both have built UP
to where they limit production OF
certain apple varieties, says DR.. j.
w. Heuberger of the plant path
ology department. Black rot us
ually follows fire blight, so control
of both depends on removing dead
wood.
Start now, recommends DR.. Heu-
berger, and remove all dead wood
from your trees, giving particular
attention to varieties which were
severely blighted and frog-eyed
last year.

Here are some of the facts

Standard of New Jersey, STAN
dard of California, Socony-Va-
cuum, Gulf and Texaco, plus two
British firms, Anglo-Iranian and
Royal Dutch Shell, control the

The FTC claims these seven
control 1850 of U. S. reserves,
81.2% Of foreign reserves, or
659o of all reserves. They also
control $3.50 Of Western hemis-
phere production; 96.1% of East
