PARTY LINE
Cedric Adams, the great
Minneapolis Star columnist,
finds a lot of good in lot of
things. Other week or so he
had a piece on the familiar
party line" which a lot of us
raise heck with from time to
time. In this piece of Adams
however, the old party line
took a turn for the better.
Seems South Dakota doc
tor had difficulty in making a
call because of icy roads and
called his patient who gave
him route to follow. Upon
arriving at a turning-off point
his patient had mentioned, the
good doctor found two cars
and a truck waiting to see
that he got through. At sew
eral other places men with
shovels had cleared the drifts
and others were standing by
to help if needed. Party lines
are a lot more popular up
there than before, you can bet
on it!

7obey Names Downey Rice
Chief Dock Probe Counsel
D. c. Lawyer Aided
Kefuuver Inquiry,
Gaming Roundup

Chairman Tobey of the Sem
ate Commerce Committee yes
terday went to work on a full
scale investigation of water
front racketeering" at the Ma
tion's major ports.
He named a seven-man sub
committee, headed by him
self. and appointed Downey
Rice, Washington attorney, az
counsel.
Mr.. Rice, who will head the
investigative staff, was called by
Senator Tobey, a former crack
FBI agent" The chairman
said Mr.. Rice's "long and ex-
tensive experience as crime
investigator would prove inval-
liable to the subcommittee"
Mr.. Rice was an associate
counsel of the Kefauver Crime
Committee and served as con-
sultant to former United States
Attorney George Morris Fay
during Mr.. Fay's gambling
roundup.
Two G-Men Sought.
Senator Tobey said he was
planning to ask FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover for the loan of
two or three top-notch investi-
gators to assist Mr.. Rice.
In addition to Senator Tobey,
the subcommittee will include Re-
publican Senators Capehart of
Indiana, Cooper of Kentucky and
Potter Of Michigan and Demo-
cratic Senators Magnuson of
Washington, Hunt of Wyoming
and Pastore of Rhode Island.
The Senate cleared the way
for the waterfront investigation
Friday when it approved a $75,-
900 investigating fund for the
commerce committee.
The committee, Senator Tobey
said. will watchdog" crime and
take Affirmative action when

He pointed out that when the
special crime committee went
out OF business in 1851, it's files
went to the commerce committee
with Senate instructions to con-
tinue the study and surveillance
of crime.
State Lines Called Bar.
AS for the new subcommittee,
Senator Tobey said the New York
Crime Commission had been
handicapped in its waterfront
racketeering investigation be-
cause it could not cross State
lines. The subcommittee, Sena-
tor Tobey added, will not be so
limited.
"The great shipping companies
OF this country" he said in a
statement. "tell me that this
crime, graft and corruption on
New York's teeming docks is
costing millions of dollars in ex-
ceSsive transportation charges

people are the ones who are pay

Two years ago, Costa Rican
officials sent for him. What
kind Of mosquito, they wanted
to know, was transmitting
yellow fever to their people?
Several hundred natives had
died. I'm S minutes I had
the answer" he recalls.
How does he do it?" people
ask. After all, the average
mosquito Is only about an
eighth of an inch long. And
Mr.. Komp dissects seven parts
all in an area about the size
of a pinhead. Actually, one
could split a human hair in
half and still not match the
Underground needlepoint he
uses.
First, he places the insect
under a dissecting microscope.
He uses two needles mounted
on slender sticks, one to hold
down the specimen and the
other to operate" The in
strumentS are embedded in
the tops Of clay mounds to
steady them while dissecting.
Then, with the deftness of a
surgeon, he removes and
mounts the parts for minute
study. They are identified
under a high-power micro
scope.
Mr.. Komp records his find
Evening star., 1953-05-24

ings in a series Of anatomical
drawings - an eye-punishing
job requiring infinite patience
and precision. One of his
drawings Of the yellow fever
mosquito was used by the
Republic Of Panama on a
commemorative stamp four
years ago.
The scientists work is Of
utmost Importance to mos
quito control. 1T would be
foolhardy and extremely ex-
pensive to try to stamp out
every kind of mosquito
known to man." he explains.
Through identification, we
are able to recognize the
dangerous ones and concen-
trate our attack on them"
Mr.. Komp has discovered 80
new species Of mosquitoes,
including four which may
carry malaria and one yellow
fever. Three kinds are named
for him.
I'VE have the yellow fever
mosquito right here in Mary
land" says Mr.. Komp, who
lives at 69O6 Dartmouth ave-
nue., College Park. Fortu-
nately, however, we haven't
had a yellow fever outbreak
in this country for nearly
half a century"
Evening star., 1953-05-24

$50 of these are disease
carriers"
True, he adds, the experts
can identity some mosquitoes
by their body and leg colors,
or by their wing patterns. But
many species are exactly alike
externally. How, then, does
he separate the sheep from
the goats? Dissection Is the
answer.
There's still an obstacle,
however. The females are
alike. But different anatomic
characteristics exist in the
male of each species. They
alone give the clue.
Such a minute clue is all
that MIR. Komp needs. In 1910,
for instance, he received nine
mosquitoes from the camp of
Ivan Sanderson, explorer,
naturalist, author and lee
turer, who was in British
Honduras. Luckily, one of the
specimens was a male. Quick
dissection brought surprise
and concern to the scientist.
It was Brazil's most dangerous
malaria carrier, which had
existed unnoticed for several
decades In Central America.
His discovery led to extensive
control measures against the
dread disease.

For some, just being in the
company of other children has
produced remarkable effects,
according to Mrs. Mary Ann
Reilly, principal of the school.
The children" she says,
have an incentive here they
might never get at home. Too
often well intentioned parents
satisfy the child's every whim,
and by so doing, remove the
