AROUND
OHIO

Wet weather, dry weather, tor
nados, Cicada, army worms and
now comes another threat to the
Ohio chinch bugs.
But, unlike most of the other
things just mentioned, the chinch
bugs have always been serious
pests. They may be with us again
if June turns out to be dry
month.
During the warm, sunny days of
spring they fly to fields of small
grain. They feed by sucking the
sap from wheat, rye, oats or bar
ley. Chinch bugs like dry weather.
They had field day for the past
two years in infested areas of
Ohio. If this month turns dry-or
remains dry as it has been in some
areas of the state-there will be
another infestation.
Chinch bugs thrive on small
grains, grasses and corn. They
don't like soy beans or clovers.
They generally move into the

Partial Federation
Of 7 Churches Seen
BY the Assoeiaied Press

LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. %.
A partial federation of the
Unitarian and Universalist
churches is strongly favored, a
joint conference of the two
groups was told last night.
The Rev. William w. Lewis of
Portsmouth, N. H., chairman of
a commission which worked out
proposed cooperative plan,
said 86 per cent of Unitarian
churches and 70 per cent of the
Universalists voted for fedora
tion. He called the vote a
mandate"
More than 800 ministers and
lay delegates from the United
States and Canada will vote
Monday on a proposal to COM
bine the publications, public re-
lations and religious education
departments of the two groups.
Mr.. Lewis said the proposal
does not involve actual merger
of the churches.
Delegates also will vote Mon
day on establishing a joint coun-
Gil of eight Unitarians and eight
UniversaliSts to administer the
federation plan. The Unitarians
with 1888 members and the
UniversalistS with 62,006 have
their national headquarters in
Boston,

FORT CAMPBELL, KY, Aug.
ga New York paratrooper
grabbed a "wad of silk" yester-
day and saved the life of fell
low soldier just after both men
bailed out of an airplane.
Military authorities here credit
ed quick-thinking Sergt. Rich
ard N, Cleaver of Niagara Falls
with saving the life of Pfc. Har-
old D. Lowell, OF Oklahoma City,
Okla. Both are members of the
18th Airborne Division and were
participating in a mass practice
jump when the mid-air tangle
occurred.
Something fell through my
suspension lines just after I got
my opening shock after the
jump. There was a wad of silk
in my face. so I grabbed it and
held on" Sergt. Cleaver said.
The silk was part of Pfc.
Lovell's collapsed parachute.
Both paratroopers dropped sew

make them last an average of

make them last an average of
10 years.
Assisting the lieutenant is
Sergt. David r. A. Connors, who
has commercial and amateur
radio licenses from the Federal
Communications Commission. He
in turn superviSes the work of
10 $4,400-a-year privates who,
he says, could earn $4,000 a year
in similar civilian jobs.
1t. Beall joined the police
force in 1881 and was assigned
to help 1t. James L. Kelly set up
the radio communications system
in that year. In the first year,
they had only 18 cruisers radio
equipped. 1t. Beall has put in all
his police time in communica-
tionS.
In addition to tussling with
budgets and broken down radios,
1t. Beall often dreams as he sits
at his desk in the hayloft.
One of the things he dreams
about is replacing the present
two relay boards at police head
quarters with four of a newer
type. This is where the radio
dispatchers work.
Under the present system, one
policeman takes calls from the
public, writes out the complaint,
gets up from his desk and
carries it to the dispatcher, who
then sends out whatever police
aid is needed.
Would Save Seconds.
1t. Beall would like to have
four diSpatchers. They would
talk directly with the public, the
people making complaints. This
would save only a few seconds,
1t. Beall said. But often, he
added, seconds mean a lot in
police work.
There still would be a man at
a desk. He would take calls from
the crackpotS and the long
winded compliments. to keep
from tying up the dispatchers.
Another dream is of a $4,000
two-story communications build
ing. This has been proposed sew
eral times, but has never been
included in the police budget.
In some other cities, where
more money is available for COM
munications, much of it has
come from civic groups or pri-
vate citizens who have donated
pieces of equipment to police de-
partments.
That is not permitted in the
District.
