In the absence Of stir breeze.
q chunk of cold air settled over

ragweed pollen.
Pollen Count at Six.
The District Medical Society's
official pollen counter, DIR. Eloise
w. Kailin, reported the count
had reached 6 grains per cubic
yard by 8 am. yesterday.
The sneezing, the wheeling
and the watery eyes Of hay
fever victims starts when the
count gets up to 10 and over.
Peak Of the season usually is
reached between August 81 and
September S. BY the middle of
September the worst. at least for
hay fever sufferers, will be over.
Beginning today The Star will
publish the ragweed pollen count
daily in its weather report on
Page Az.
Weather conditions affect the
count. A strong wind will clear
the air to some extent, or rain
will force pollen grains to the
ground. The first frost is the
most effective weapon against
the sneeze producing pollen
grains yet found. Yet it is not
known how close to freezing
the temperature must go before
the ragweed plant quits slough
ing of its golden reproducing
agent.
While Washington is not q

to flee the area to escape the
hay fever season. But, pollen
counters sadly point out. grains

duce symptoms.
Most doctors advise hay fever
patients to get plenty Of rest,
sleep with windows shut, and to
stay away from swimming pools
and beaches because the water
makes nose and eye membranes
more responsive to pollen irrita-
tions.
Air conditioning units in
stalled in the home help filter
the pollen from the air.
Only bright spot in the hay

Action on japanese
Who Gave Data 10
Rasiyoroy Hinfed
~ The Associated Pres.

TOKYO, Aug. 1.-THE Japa-
neSe government gave D guarded
hint today that it might be TAX
ing action against the medium
high" government sources who
gave information to Yari A.
Rastvorov, former Russian spy
chief here.
Shortly after it was announced
in washington that Mr.. Ras-
tvorov had been granted Amer
lean asylum, the foreign ofice
made public several documents
on the case. including Mr.. Ras-
tvorov's own story Of why he
detected.
None Of the documents con-
cerned Soviet infiltr&tion into
government circles but an ac-
companying announcement said
further details would be disclosed
las soon as measures now being
taken reach q more definite
stage" t@s
The foreign office said it's Of
| f1cials had questioned Mr.. Ras-
tvoroy, and had determined that
high Japanese officials had been
in touch with him. Later it
issued a contradictory statement
declaring that mo high govern
ment officials were involved" al
though, it added, several jap
anese nationals have confessed
involvement.
Sources sMedium High"
The question may be "how
high is high?" Mr.. Rastvorov
said his japanese government
sources were medium high"
The government said it had
mildly protested because it was
not informed when the United
States whisked Mr.. Rastvorov
! from Japan in a manner Elm
consistent with Japanese immi-
grafton laws"
/ It said United States Ambas-
Sador John M. Allison apologized
and assured Japan it would not
happen again.
/ Chief Of the documents made
public today was Mr.. Rastvorov's
own statement as to why he fed
the Russians.
Three Reasons for Flight.
| In it, the 33-year-old spy gave
three main reasons:
l. The purge Of Lavrenti
Beria, who had organized the
secret police. Mr.. Beria, Mr.
Rastvorov's boss, was executed
as a traitor.
| 2. Although he became friend
ly with a number of Americans,
he had not been able to ere
cruit" any of them. Thus, he
said. "they were a cause for noe
to be suspected rather than
praised"
B. He had been in several
quarrels with the chief Of the
Russian mission in Tokyo and
was under orders to return tt
Russia.
The document then quoted
Mr.. Rastyorov as saying:
Having made up my mine
not to go back, I was faced with
the immediate question: Tt
whom could I turn for help ant
how?
II was determined to go K
the United States, for I knew
could never stay in Japan. where
my work had been previously
against the Japanese on behalf
of the Soviets. Also, since
English was my best foreign
language and I knew more
Americans than Britishers,
knew the United States woule
be my goal"
