Johnson Grass Is
Public Enemy No. l

Johnson grass is Marylands pub
lie enemy No / when it comes to
weeds In fact, it is officially out
laWed by the state noXious weed
laws. Every farmer is urged to do
all he can to eradicate it.
The first move is to catch it early
before it has a chance to spread
over the whole farm, says Paul
Santelmann, extension weed special
ist, University of Maryland A
couple of chemical treatments may
clean it up, though the most effec-
tive chemical for killing Johnson
grass is equally poisonous to corn
and soybeans. But it pays. at the
sacrifice of a little of the crop. to
eradicate even the smallest spot OF
johnson grass
The stems of Johnson grass, com
ing up from underground root
stocks at this time. look lot like
small corn plants a few inches to
more than a foot tall. They also
look much like Sudan grass, espec-
tally as the stems often grow taller

Crime and Correction

Recently, j. Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, reported that more
major crimes we're committed in
the United States in 1856 than ever
before For the first time the Ma
tons crime total has exceeded the
2.5O000O mark Actually, 2,563,150
crimes were committed in 1856, an
increase of 1873 percent over 1855.
This increase in crime, unless
steps are taken to reduce it, can
profoundly influence the character
and morality of our society to the
detriment of present and future
generations. For, as Mr. Hoover
has emphasized, the greatest in

Waste and Extravaganza?

waste ana EStrdVaganCeI
Much has been said in recent
weeks about the value of foreign
aid and mutual security as a bul.
Wark against the probings of inter
national communism And, there is
a measure of substance in these
arguments for the fallacy of a go
it-alone" policy has long since been
demonstrated. However, it is not
the policy with which the American
public has become eXasperated-
it is the manner in which billions
of L. S tax dollars have been spent
on projects of questionable pur-
pose under the guise of foreign
aid
TO the hard-pressed taxpayer,
specific examples are far more
convincing than generalities of
policy Even a cursory review of
the record confirms the conclusion
that much of these funds have
been used for wasteful and eXtrava-
giant undertakings. Recent Con-
gressional testimony revealed that
our 1858 foreign aid grant to Iran
was used in part. to pay bonus
of 100000 to the army. 100000 to
the gendarmerie, and $4,000 to
the police Another program for
that country involved a 81 million
subsidy. through special dollar
exchange rate. to the Well-to-do
sponsors and parents of Iranian
students completing their college
training abroad.
Still Notwithstanding the red
carpet stay of President Sukarno
of Indonesia in the United States
in 1856, a $4,000 documentary film
was paid for by the American
people. Though gift from our
government, this film was later
shown in movie threatres through
out IndOneSia for an admission
fee. Sukarno subsequently rejected
the basic wisdom of western
democracy, and his affinity today
with the Russian orbit is undeni-
able
Foreign aid funds have likewise
been used for such doubtful prof.
ects as dress suits for Grecian
undertakers public baths for
Egyptian camel drivers roads

sions for Arabians to visit their

ously $500 million given the
government of Norway was prompt
ly applied to a reduction of its
national debt. Denmark did the
same with its grant of 500 million.
One billion was funneled into
Indo-China before that country
capitulated to the Reds.
1t can be safely asked-is this
waste and extravaganza?

pose Two sprayings with one
pound of the chemical in four gal

The farmer can concentrate ON
large spots of johnson grass with
the tractor sprayer, and small ones
with a hand sprayer. 1t may cost up
to $50 or $40 an acre in chemicals

crease in 'crime has been by juve-
nile offenders.
The Congress has only limited
jurisdiction to cope with this prob.
lem as its power extends solely to
Federal criminal law, while most
major crimes occur under State
law. In this regard, have asked
the Senate Special Subcommittee
on Juvenile Delinquency and the
Subcommittee on improvements in
the Federal Criminal Code, as a
member of both, to re-eXamine all
Federal criminal laws with a view
to Strengthening them and to in
crease penalties provided there
under.
Obviously here is a matter of
serious concern TO all government
officials. both Federal and State,
as well as to the public in general
1t also follows that if something is
to be done to arrest this increase,
more cooperation is essential be-
tween the law enforcement agencies
of the Federal, State and local
governments throughout the United
States.
To meet this essential objective,
l have suggested to President
Eisenhower that it would be in the
public interest to convene here in
Washington a conference between
Federal and State and Municipal
enforcement authorities to develop
plans for combating this dangerous
increase in major crimes. In my
opinion, State Attorneys General
and State police chiefs. as we'll as
Municipal enforcement agencies
should participate in such a con
ference.
A White House spokesman, in
acknowledging my recommends
ton, states that while a high de.
gree of cooperation exists between
the Federal Government and State
and local governments ways
and means of increasing this type
of cooperation are under constant
study" Mr. Hoover tells me thai
efforts to effect daily liaison anC
cooperation with local, county anC
state law enforcement agencies il
problems of mutual interest have
been intensified" Only through
vigorous and coordinated action or
the Federal, State and local fronts
can this disgraceful crime rate be
reduced, and a conference, as
have proposed, will provide the
needed momentum, vision and co
heSion.
