BEETLE QUARANTINE

"A federal quarantine against the
dangerous Khapra beetle is fore
gone conclusion here. USDA Off
ciaIs recently received testimony
Colo, and are reviewing same
before reaching a final decision.
But 1T is clear what that decision
will be.
The quarantine is expected to take
effect in February. USDA is aiming for
publication of the quarantine regula-
tons in the Federal Register early in
January-after which there would be a
3O-day waiting period before they took
effect. During the interval objections
or exceptions could be voiced by inter-
ested parties.
After the federal quarantine is i'm
force, it is hoped that states concerned
will come up with sparaIIeling1 legisla-
ton. This would permit federal men
to work with state people in getting at
actual points of infestation - ware
houses, elevators. mills, etc.
The Khapra is ssstored-product~
pest. USDA researchers report that the
insect is Every destructive especially
of small grains. The bug, a native of the
Far East, is new to this country.

REVISE PARITY?

USDA's announced intention to
study and perhaps change the parity
formula can help stockmen, even
tualIy. Main way would be an adj
justment that permitted greater al
IOwance for labor costs.
Benson has said that he is giving ''se-
rious consideration to revision of the
parity standard. The Secretary is
backed up by experts in his department
who think that farmers costs have shift
ed-and that this should be reflected in
the parity index (Dollar-cents support

Just how tough the new Delaney leg

RESTRICT MEXICAN IMPORTS

1t looked fairly sure at press time
that restrictions would be placed on
imports of Mexican cattle following
reOpening of the border the first of

Mexican prices which are under
ceilings, and 2. growing need for
meat South of the Border.
End of the foot-and-mouth quarantine

his physical examination. On
the sixth try he made it.
Two decades later, he was
showing the world that rare type
OF leadership that prompted his
men to identify themselves with
him by name-"Merrill's Ma
rauders"-three battalions of
specially trained jungle fighters.
These men were all volunteers
who answered a presidential
summons for men "for a danger
GUS and hazardous mission"
Captured Airfield
Tine "Marauders'" infiltration
activities lasted from February to
May, 1914, and then came their
most spectacular action-their
capture of the Myitkyina Air
field in Northern Burma. With
them at that time were two Chi
nese regiments. Gen. Merrill
was serving under 1t. Gen. Jo-
seph w. Stilwell.
The bespectacled Gen. Merrill
knew the Japanese well. Long
before he became a general he
had thoroughly studied the Jap
anese military system while serv-
ing as a language student officer
and later as assistant military
attache in Tokyo.
He remained in Japan from
July, 1888. until October, 1941,
when he went to Manila as in
telligence officer to Gen. Douglas
Macarthur.
III health twice forced Gen.
Merrill to retire from active COM
mand in Burma. During the
early stages of the action there
he suffered a heart ailment, but
refused to be evacuated. Gen.
Stilwell. taking cognizance of his
great popularity with his men,
permitted him to return. But in
the summer of 1914 he again had
to give up his command. he
then was named head of the
liaison group for the China
Burma India theater.
Suffered Attack In 1947
III health continued to plague
him. In the autumn of 1947 he
suffered a severe heart attack and
was flown to the United States
for treatment.
Gen. Merrill was awarded the
Purple Heart, Legion Of Merit
with an Oak Leaf Cluster for it
and the Bronze Star. During the
war he advanced to major gen.
eral, but reverted to brigadier
after it ended.
An old cavalry man, he liked
to ride when not on duty. Other
hobbies were hunting and fish
ing, but Mrs. Merrill said "give
him q horse oOv time )"
