New BuIqonin Letter

Premier Bulganin. in his latest letter
to President Eisenhower, appears to have
drawn the Iron Curtain with some f1nality
against the idea of reciprocal aerial in
Spection of national territories. That the
Soviet government is opposed to this
Eisenhower proposal has been made clear
before, but there was in Mr. BulganinS
latest rejection an accusation not pre-
viously expressed. 1t was, in short, that
the plan, which he said clears no relation
to disarmament" really is a scheme to
obtain fuller intelligence data about the
military and industrial resources" of the
Soviet Union. Mr.. Bulganin attributed
this motive to military leaders" and
individual politicians" rather than to
President Eisenhower personally. At the
same time, he said that neither the Soviet
government nor the Soviet people could
approach such plan without fear.
Actually, the Presidents proposal for
both aerial and ground inspection was
designed to reduce the very danger of
unexpected attack that Mr.. Bulganin pro-
feSSeS to fear. 1t specified, also, that it
would be extended to cover the forces
and facilities which we both have outside
our borders" which would include pre-
Sumably the numerous foreign military
bases in areas near the Soviet frontier"
about which Mr. Bulganin has again COM
planned. It is a further fact that the
President proposed this inspection only as
first step, an initial deterrent to sur
prise assault, while more comprehensive
discussions on the whole subject of dis
armament might be carried forward.
In the remainder of his letter, Mr..
Bulganin does not depart significantly
from points he already has expressed.
Writing only one day after the latest
reported Soviet nuclear test in Central
Asia, he urged straight away" an agree
ment on banning such tests without watt
ing for international agreements on con-
troll. He made much again of unilateral
Soviet reductions in military manpower,
but without reference to its bearing upon
Soviet military power as such. And he
repeated at some length the uncomprom-
ising Soviet position on German unifica-
ton and creation Of the West German
army
There was, in summary rather small
encouragement that this exchange Of let
tiers Eat the summit" is producing tan
gible progress toward the objective of
disarmament. But it is, at least, an
exploration outside formal diplomatic
channels and without the strain of pro-
longed round-table negotiations. It's con-
tinuance in the courteous and seemingly
patient tones of the past appears to hold
more promise than risk

There is an old woman, right
out Of the French revolution.
You can almost hear her
screaming for the blood Of the

Poor old lady, this is unfair
to her, for obviously she never

She is just trying to make
her grandchild behave.
He insists on running away
in traffic, and she is properly
afraid he will get killed.
Here comes a father and
mother with a girl child.
They are plain people, dark
haired and complexioned, and
ugly.
The child is about 3, . per-
feet blond, who once would
have been called tow-headed.

serious insect pests, including
the boil weevil, corn ear worm
and possibly the Japanese
beetle.
The worm itself is a nem-
atode. or wire worm, most of
whose relatives are themselves
pests and responsible for some
Of the most serious animal and
human maladies. Only this
specific species carries the
germs Of a curious type of
blood poisoning.
Insects ordinarily are quite
resistant to this bacteria. They
can come in contact with it or
even eat it with impunity. The
little worm. however, acts as
a microsyringe to inject the
germ into the body cavity of
the bugs. 1t serves as food, at
the same time, for the in
fecting nematode. The same
bacterium also produces some
antibiotic substance which pre-
vents the body of the dead in
sect from decay, thus allowing
the nematode to develop nor
mally.
Larvae Infective
The infective stage Of the
little worms shat Of the lar
vac. These, encased in a sort
Of armor, can survive for
months without a suitable host
or any food. They seek out
a host insect. usually enter
through the mouth, penetrate
the intestinal wall, discard
their sheaths and inject the
bacteria. The host usually is
dead within "a hours, The lar
vac proceed to feed on the
bacteria and reproduce. The
young nematodes then emerge
from the dead host, ready to
attack a. new one.
Migrating over a moist sur
face, these larvae can move
considera Gle distances in
search of q host insect. When
humidity is high they can
move over dry areas by form
ing their own films of water.
This need for moisture may
limit their ability to control
insects.
A method for mass propaga-
ton of the nematodes has been
worked out at the Beltsville,
Md, experiment station of the
Bureau Of Entomology. They
are reared in the bodies of
common beehive pest. Each
yields about 10000 nema-
todes. Last year more than a
billion infective-stage worms
were raised. Tested in Vir-
ginia apple orchards they re-
duced by so to 70 per cent the
coddling moth pest. Almost as
good results were obtained in
the control of corn ear worm.

There is an unidentified
growth elixir in chicken
feathers.
Department Of Agriculture
chemists are looking for a
mysterious substance in meal
made by grinding these feath-
ers which greatly promotes
growth Of chicks when added
to their rations.
Tests to date indicate that
1t is inorganic. This has been
shown by converting the meal
into ash at temperatures of
more than 1000 degrees Fab
renheit for at least five hours.
In this way, any organic ma
terial in the feathers is con-
sumed completely and only
minerals are. left. But the
ashes give the same growth
response as the raw meal.
Analysis Of the ash shows
that the substance contains at
least Is different minerals.
Silicon is most plentiful with
iron, calcium and aluminium
following in order. But the ash
also contains traces Of copper.
cobalt, tin. lead, manganese,
vanadium. zinc, molybdenum,
potassium and arsenic.
Growth factors always have
been considered complex or
ganic compounds. Recent ex-
periments at the Cornell and
University Of Texas expert
ment stations have shown that
a definite growth response can
be obtained from whey re-
duced to ashes at heats suffi-
Gent to destroy all organic
materials. This is believed to
be due to the same material
found in the feather meal.
Scientists Conclusion
DR.. Henry Menge Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture's poul-
try experiment station at Belts
vile, Md, has tried feeding the
minerals separately and in diff
ferent combinations, but has
been unable to get any meas
urable growth response. He
has come to the conclusion
that probably a complex of all
the minerals Is necessary and
that they must be in exactly
the right proportions. Such a
combination. he believes, may
stimulate the intestinal bac-
terra of chickens into action
for better assimilation of feed.
There is also a possibility that
the methods of analysis used
are failing to reveal some
elements necessary to the COM
bination.

HoneysuckIe Curtain

The papers have been BURST
ing with victorious accounts
of the exploits of National
Guardsmen in frustrating the
taxpayers of the border States
who are trying to maintain
their segregated schools. But
the press is strangely silent on
events in the deep South. 1t
is as though there were a
"honeysuckle curtain" which
newsgatherers could not pene-
trate. Or are we to under
stand that the schools Of South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, mississippi, and
Louisiana did not open this
fall? But perhaps William
Tecumseh Sherman is down
there now and the deathly
silence is due to military CEN
sorship.
Jefferson, the original "un-
reconstructed REBEL" wrote in
1925:
Il see with the deepest
affection, the rapid strides with
which the Federal branch of
our Government is advancing
towards the usurpation of all
the rights reserved to the
States. and the consolidation
in itself of all powers, foreign
and domestic; and that too, by
constructions which. if legiti-
mate. leave no limits to their
power. 1t is but too evil
dent that the three ruling
branches (of the Federal Gov
ernment) are in combination
to strip their colleagues. the

BocktoIks Stevenson
r.. H.

! want to register my pro-
test against Adlai Stevenson's
remark made at San Francisco
on September 6 that the
Republican Party talks like
Democrats" When that time
comes. we may as well throw
in the sponge. For instance:
The Democratic Party, with
tears in its voice, deplores
what it chooses to call our loss
Of prestige abroad. Yet, isn't it
amazing that, when Secretary
Dulles was making a desperate
effort to help solve the Suez
problem, Mr.. Truman should
so demean himself as to call
the Republican Party a bunch
of legal racketeers" and this
an administration dominated
by money changers? From a
lower. but still a high-level
public official, Mr.. Truman
had the assistance of $22, 500
a-year, multi-millionaire oil
man, Senator Robert S. Kerr
of Oklahoma, who did not
hesitate. at that critical time,
to refer to Secretary Dulles
as daredevil John Foster
Dulles" and to our Secretary
of Defense as bulldog Char
lie Wilson," not to mention
names of the Barnum Circus
group which he chose to as
sign to other public officials.
No. Mr.. Stevenson, the Repub-
lican Party does not talk like
Democrats.
These remarks cannot be
considered prestige builders by
any stretch of the imagination.
Suppose we consign Senator
Kerr's juvenile remarks to the
waSte-paper basket and hope
that those who read our for
mer Presidents efforts to de-
stroy our prestige abroad for
political purposes will bear in
mind that they are made by
the same gentleman who, dur
ing the Democratic conven-
ton. told the world, one day,
that Adlai Stevenson could not
win the election because he Is
no fighter, or, at least, he
could not win without help

Truman had in mind-and

best bet would be the Barnum

Kerr seems to be quite familiar.

probably would swallow such
irresponsible remarks. but not

would not. No. Adlai. the Re-
publican Party does not talk
like Democrats.

couldn't shake of that first
decentralization thought. For

should become President, I
could just see the world beat
