Start Now to
Fight Dutch Elm
Disease, Advice

AS in any war; the problem of
notwithstanding the men, equip
ment and supplies to the right
spot at the right time-is a ma
jor one in the fight against the
relentless march of Dutch elm
disease.
In many sections there are or
the average only 10 to IS days in
early spring when weather condi
tons are favorable for DOT
spraying. This makes it import.
ant for civic fathers and home
owners to plan now to get the
spraying job accomplished in the
critical period before leaves un-

pert Co.
Best bet is to place orders now
for early spring spraying to
thwart the elm bark beetle, car.
rier of the Dutch elm disease.
Tree men, in all probability will
be busy handling their mist
sprayers on a first come first
serve basis.
There is no magic formula to
combat the threat in infested ar.
cas-. Experience has shown, how
ever, that timely spraying and
sanitation-which involves the
pruning out of dead or dying
branches and the removal of di.
seased trees-serve to minimize
the epidemic and keep tree losses
down. And the cost of spraying
incidentally is many times less
than the cost of removing a
stricken tree.
Protective sprays can be sue
cessfully applied only when temp.
eratures are well above freezing
and winds are moderate.
Alert city foresters are sche.
duling their spraying needs now
for public trees. Private owners
too, should make arrangements
individually or through coopera.
tive efforts with municipalities
garden clubs and civic associa
tons for community spraying.

League Urges
County to Aid
Bill on Trade

1--WE strengthen our allies by
buying their goods" Mrs. Myron
Baum told the League of Women
Voters recently in presenting the
National Leagues call to action
on the Presidents Trade Agree
ments Act. League members and
other interested citizens were
urged to write Congressman to
support H.R. l.
This bill extends the present
Trade Agreements Act from 1855
to 1858. 1t authorizes the Presi-
dent to enter into agreements
with other nations on tariffs and
customs procedures, allowing a
reduction of Is percent below the
tariff rates in effect July, 1855.
The League Board favorably re-
ceived these proposals but urged
modification of the bill to remove
the uncertainties about our trade
policy which tend to inhibit for
eign trade. Especially important
were the time limit which the
League considered should be for
period longer than three years
and the escape clause"X which
permits an American producer to
seek relief when foreign competi-
ton appears to hurt his business.
In presenting the call to the
Board, Mrs. Baum, International
Relations Chairman of the
League, emphasized that the "es-
cape clause" tends to undermine
whatever tariff reductions might
be gained through the Trade
Agreements and leaves foreign
producers wary of shipping goods
on which the tariff may be
raised.
'By buying goods from other
nations" continued Mrs. Baum,

Mayor Pledges
Aid on Plant

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July Is (P).
Mayor Frank Tobey says that
If Dixon Yates still wants to
build its power plant at West
Memphis. Ark. 1--WE will assist in
every way we can"
Mayor Tobey's statement was
in answer to James Hale, a West
Memphis lawyer who said the
only reason Memphis decided to
build its own plant was to force
cancellation of the Dixon-Yates
contract.
City officials say they decided
to build the plant because they
felt the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority would not be able to
meet their future power needs.
Mr.. Hale made his charge at
a facts of life" conference yes
terday on the proposed Mem
phis municipal steam plant, at
tended by Memphis city officials,
businessmen and representatives
of West Memphis.
The West Memphis lawyer
said, 1--WE STAYED off every ef-
fort you made to stop Dixon
Yates Then. in desperation, you
laid 500 million on the line
up at Washington. That stopped
u.s."
Mr.. Hale was referring to the
trip Mayor Tobey and T. H.
Allen, the city's utility chief,
made to Washington earlier this
week to assure President Eisen-
hover personally that Memphis
would build its own power plant.
Shortly afterwards the Presi-
dent ordered the Dixon Yates
contract Cancelled. West Mem
Iphis called the Memphis oppo-
sition to the contract a stab
in the back.
Tempers f1ared only briefly at
the conference yesterday. Most
of the meeting was amiable and
interrupted with laughter.

Stanky was replaced May %
