Case Becomes
Chief Clerk Of
SenateGroup
Senator'S Brother,
le1ond D., Serves on
District Committee
BY Harold B. Rogers

Leland D. Case, 81. brother OF
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee, today be-
came the new chief clerk Of the
committee.
Appointed recently by the Re-
publican Senator from South Da-
kota, the new official was a news
paperman and former editor of
"Rotarian," the magazine of Ro-
tary International. He said his
first intention was to study the
problems he faces and to learn
before commenting" on them.
He arrived in Washington Sat-
urday and assumed his new
duties today.
Mr.. Case succeeds Robert C..
Albrook who resigned to return
to newspaper work.
Integration Problem.
One of the local situations
which Senator Case recently said
he hoped his younger brother
would look into in his new post
was school integration to learn
whether it would change con-
struction needs or require new
legislation.
The new appointee, now a resi-
dent of Tucson. Ariz., confirmed
his brothers earlier announce
ment that his term of Office as
chief administrative officer of the
District Committee staff would
be for three months, during the
rest of the 83d Congress.
Mr.. Case has visited Wash
ington frequently during the past
several years and said he thought
he was so far only mildly
familiar with the city and its
problems.
He pointed out, however. that
he has been interested in schools
and had taken active part in a
merger of two school systems in
his home community. AS chair
man of an independent school
district in a suburb of Tucson,
he helped work for a merger with
the city school system to meet
the pressing needs of the larger
community brought on by a
heavy influx of war workers
there.
On Northwestern Faculty.
Mr.. Case also was formerly
on the faculty of Northwestern
University's school of journal
ism. He had worked with his
brother on a South Dakota news
paper and later was for a year
on the Paris staff of the New
York Herald Tribune.
AS former editor of "Rotari-
an" Mr.. Case became familiar
with the leaders of Rotary In
ternationa1 and has an acquaint-
ance of some members of the
Rotary Club here. He recalled
that he was appointed to his
post of editor of the interna-
tional magazine by Senator
Anderson. Democrat, of New
Mexico, in 1880, long before the
Senator became prominent in
political life.
Senator Anderson later be-
came president of Rotary Inter-
national.
Mr.. Case said he still con-
tributes to the "Rotarian" and
is planning to continue maga-
zine work when he returns to
Tucson early next year.

Civil Service Head
Denies Job Awards
On Political Basis

Civil Service Commissioner
George Moore declared today
that he is not aware of a single
instance in which political con-
siderations were a deciding fac
tor in filling any of the 473,000
civil service job vacancies since
the Eisenhower administration
came into power.
Striking back at Democratic
charges that the administration
is scuttling the merit system, Mr..
Moore told the Florida Shrine
Club convention in St. Peters,
burg:
II do not know of a single in
dividual who has been denied
such employment because he was
affiliated with a particular politi-
cal party, nor do I know of a
single individual who has been
given such employment because
of his membership in a political
party"
Charges Civil Service Hit.
The csc Republican member
denounced false charges that
the administration has aban-
doned the civil service system. :"
you may hear that numbers
Of Federal employees have been
discharged for political reasons,
or that only Republicans can
now get Government positions,
Mr.. Moore said. do not be
misled by these deceitful state
ments. They are false and
should not be exposed for the
untruths that they are"
Mr.. Moore said 81 per cent
of all Federal employees are un-
der civil service-the same per-
centage as when the Eisenhower
administration took office. And
the administration is planning
to increase the percentage of
Federal employees under civil
service, he added.
Legislative Program Praised.
Mr.. Moore cited the admins
tration's legislative program for
Federal workers enacted this
year as the most liberal and
progressive ever undertaken for
Government employees. He said
the administration would seek
even greater benefits for Federal
employees next year.

THE "GLOBEMASTER"

The primary mission OF the
Military Air Transport Service is
strategic support of the armed
forces. The 'fGlobemasters" from
the Dover Air Force Base fly
regularly to Labrador, Greenland,
Iceland, Newfoundland, Azores,
Europe and Africa. The C-124
"Globemaster II" is a heavy
transport originally designed to
carry a $4,000 ID load, fly, 500
miles nonstop, with normal cruis-
ing speed of 225 miles per hour,
maximum payload $4,000 lbs,
maximum endurance 26 hours,
The "Globemaster II" has a wing
span of TIA feet and length of
130 feet, height to top of fuse
lage, 26 feet, height to top OF
tial 4S feet (as high as a 5-story
building). The normal crew for
the "Globemasters" is Z men and
the normal take-off weight is
$4,000 pounds. A numebr OF
these aircraft are stationed at the
Dover Air Force Base. Their
pilots observe the same operating
rules and safety practices as
other aircraft, including minimum
flight attitudes. The "Globemast-
er II" can carry 200 passengers
or 127 injured personnel on
stretchers, with 16 nurses or med

Dairy Farmers Hardest Hit
Carol Short reported on the
survey he had made on the
drought conditions on 16 farms
in the Middletown area. Hardest
hit are dairy farmers where hay,
silage, and pasture crops are
short. Mr.. Short said all the dairy
farmers he contacted were now
feeding hay and silage to supple
ment pastures which were COM
pletely dried up. Hhe pointed out
that most farmers were forced to
use second cuttings of clover and
alfalfa hay as pasture and that
there was little stubble hay worth
harvesting. Having harvested less
hay than usual and being forced
to use much of this limited sup
ply during the summer, many
dairymen said they would be fore
ed to buy hay for winter feeding,
according to Mr.. Short. j. S.
Rhodes said his corn crop had
been cut about one-third by the
dry weather and his sweet corn
crop, by one-half. He plans to bale
his sweet corn fodder and has
planted rye for fall pasture in an
effort to supplement the short
hay crop. Mr.. Rhodes also plans
to cut the soybeans he had
planted for seed and use them as
hay and some of the corn planted
for grain will be needed for sill
age because the fodder is un-
usually short. Dean George M.
Worrilow commented that there
is no reason for panic about
hay shortages as nationwide there
has been plentiful hay crop.
However, he did urge that farm
ers arrange now for adequate

Because of its size it may appear
to be flying at lower attitudes
than other planes. This display
was arranged through the coop
Grafton of the 40th and 45th Air
Transport Squadrons of the Dover
Air Force Base, and everyone
should become more acquainted
with the wonderful job that the
Air Force is doing, and this dis

CHESTERTOWN INCIDENT

Tribute was paid to the Della

ent news analyst, in letter he
wrote, completely unsolicited, to
the Chairman of the American
National Red Cross in Washing
ton, D. c. in which he praised the
work of the Red Cross during the
recent Chestertown explosion and
fire. His letter to E. Roland
Hartman, chairman, American
National Red Cross, said in part:
All through the years, at every
disaster, 1 have had occasion to
work with the National Red
Cross. 1t might be said that we
have established a close relation
ship built on friendship through
out the years. Recently there was
a near disaster in Chestertown,
Maryland. If a series of explo-
sions had occurred in slightly
different sequence, a high death
toll would have resulted. Forum
1ately, this did not happen, the
death toll was limited But all
disaster services were organized
for the worst. In this situation,
the Delaware State Director, Mrs.
Ethel J. Myers, made it possible
for me to reach the disaster
scene in the shortest possible
time, without impairing her own
precautionary participation in the
rescue effort. 1 went to the scene
with Mrs. Edith R. Kendall, di-
rector of nursing services. The
unusual factor was that for a

1t was thrilling to watch-and all
the more thrilling because the
disaster did not occur. The teams
were working well, despite the
absence of an emergency inceni-
tive. AS an old timer on the
disaster scene, I merely want to
tell you about an exciting, and al
together heartwarming experience

THIRSTY TREE APT To BE
TARGET OF BORER ATTACK

The dog days are dangerous
days for dogwoods.
That's the time borers move
in on their favorite hosts. The
soaring, dry heat of peak summer
depletes these trees and oil III r
favorite targets, such as lindens,
apples and poplars. Borers usual
ly attack weakened trees. There
isn't much you can do once bor-
ers move in. Best protection
against them is to keep your tree
free of dead and dying wood, well
watered and we'll fed, says v. A..
Hill, field representative of the
Davey Tree Expert Co.
Pruning eliminates the dead
dying wood where the borers Of
ten breed. Frequent deep water
ing reduces chances of trouble.
The tree low in water content
is more susceptible to borer in
vasion. Feeding with tree food
high in nitrogen content invigor-
ates the tree and encourages root
growth. An efficient root system
absorbs moisture more rapidly
and helps the tree Withstand
drought periods.
Borer injury may not show up
until the following growing sea-
son, but infestation is likely to
take place now if trees are sew
erely weakened.
Many boring insects are not
called borers. A major one is
the inevitable elm bark beetle,
Dutch elm disease carrier. The
larval stage is spent as a borer
and the adult stage as winged
insect.
Poking into borer holes with
wires or inserting chemicals and
sealing off the holes with putty
are laborious methods of getting
the insects. They occasionally do
more harm than good.

supplies of hay to meet their

still reasonable. Chairman Paul
Mitchell pointed out that there
are still available some ACP
funds to carry out vegetative
cover and pasture improvement
practices this fall. Professor c. E.
Phillips, Extension Agronomist,
and E. H. Schabinger, County
Agricultural Agent, sat in with
the Committee and had the fol-
lowing self-help recommendations
for farmers suffering from
drought conditions. These sugges-
tions will vary depending upon
conditions and feed needs on
individual farms. 1. Some farmers
have already planted corn that
may not mature to the point
where it can be profitably har-
vested for grain. This corn may
be used for silage or it may be
fed at the present time by cut
ting it and feeding it loose in the
pasture. Farmers should not be.
come panicky and ensile corn now
before it has reached its full
value as silage. 2. Get land ready
now for seeding fall small grain
crops. Rye and barley make about
the fastest growth of the grains
Barley will produce a greater
amount of feed, but many dairy.
men feel that rye is more palat.
able. Seed at least three bushels
per acre for a good winter pas.
ture. Seeding should be done both
ways of the field. 8. Fertilizer
will play an important role ir
the growth of these fall crops. A
fertilizer high in nitrogen such as
10-10-10 insures enough nitrogen
for a vigorous growth. Seeding
