A LMOST ANY morning you may find DR.
"A Thomas E. Snyder in his small Office
on the third floor of the Smithsonian InSti-
tutiOnS Natural History Museum peering
through his microscope at tiny insect
DR. Snyder is one of the worlds foremost
authorities on ISOptera-the little insects
which cause some 500 million worth of
damage annually in the United States and
which we know as termites And he is
completing the classification of the second
largest collection of termites in the world
In fact, DR.. Snyder. who is now 70.
retired in 1851 so that he could devote his
entire time to termte classification His
collection. which he presented to the
Smithsonian. includes 23O.O3l specimens,
77,276 of which remain still unclassifed
A larger collection has been assembled at
the University of Chicago by DR. A E
Emerson.
DR.. Snyder has spent more than 40 years
with termiteS, and finds them the most
fascinating of insects. And he would like
to see others share his interest
Few young men and women are enter
ing the field of termite classification Or
taxonOmy" he says. 1t is a matter of eco
nomics When young man finishes school,
he finds he can make more money in Other
branches of entomology
But classification is important A new
termite enters the United States. and if he
isn't classified we won't know the best way
of handling him. l would like to see in
dustry finance the training of termte
classification experts
TermiteS are among the highly developed
social" insects. They are divided mainly
into three groups-the subterranean dwell
ers and those that live in dry wood and in
damp wood The subterranean termiteS are
the ones we know in this section
The dry and damp wood termites are
found farther South Termite damage in
creases the farther South you go

Termites to a Tee
Bv JAMES BlRCHFIELD

Termite colonies resemble some colonies
of ants. although they are not related to
the ants 1t is incorrect. entomologically
speaking to call termites white ants They
are more closely related to cockroacheS
and might more correctly be called flying
cockroacheS
Termites are matriarchal. with the queen
as the great hfe-giver of the colony. There
are workers and soldiers. developed in the
colony. DR. Snyder thinks by special feeding
CT the larvae The SwarmS that may some
times be seen in the spring consist of young
winged males and females that have de-
veloped in well established colonies They
soon shed their wings and establish new
colonies by burrowing into the ground
DR. Snyder who once carried bottles of
termites about with him in his pockets so
that he could watch their hour-b hour
development. first became interested in
these tiny insects when ne observed winged
adults emerging from the earth at Wood
Vile Tex
This was in 1906 when he was studying
forestry at Yale. He later joined the
Agriculture Departments Bureau of Ento-
mology and was first assigned to study
damage caused by wood boring insects.
One of DR. Snyders early termite studies
was made at Falls Church and in 1917 he
made a partial coast coast survey TO
determine the number. of species occurring
in this country
This was the beginning of his collection.
1t was added TO from year TO year through
other field trips, and by exchanges of
specimens with other entomologiStS
throughout the world
DR.. Snyder's collection also contains
fossils, the Oldest encaSed in a piece of
amber and estimated to be about 25 million
years
You see" ne said, "termites have been
around long time. They have been on
this earth lot longer than man

Bradford
Meets Here

If all the descendants Of
Gov. William Bradford of the
Massachusetts, Plymouth Col
ony had shown up at their
family reunion here yester-
day. about a half million
would have been on hand.
That's about how many de-
scendants of the early Brad
ford are alive today. accord
ing to an estimate by Mrs.
Francis c. Hall Of New York
City.
Mrs. Hall is q Bradford de-
scendant herself, and Is the
more or less ofiicial genealogist
Of the group.
She has already published
one volume. taking the tribe
through the first seven gen.
erations after Gen. Bradford,
and is working on q second
volume. which win go through
the eighth generation, and fill
in some links she has now
discovered in the earlier gen.
erations.
The first book had about
1000 names, while Mrs Hall
thinks the second will have
$4,000 to 10000.
She hopes to make a third
volume out of ninth genera
tion names. a fourth volume
out of the tenth generation,
and then wrap UP the succeed
ing generation-now UP to the
l5th--in a final fifth volume.
Mrs. Halls interest in her
family tree is the main force
behind establishment Of the
Bradford Family Compact, an
organization Of Bradford de-
scendants which holds a tea
here each year during con-
ventions Of the patriotic or
ganizations.
Yesterdays. tea was held at
the OAR Chapter House. with
Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Harry
Clark Boden Of Newark, DEL,
cofounder. with Mrs. Hall
pouring.
About 400 Bradford de-
scendants belong to the COM
pact, Of whom about 20 were
present yesterday.
Mrs. Boden belongs to no
less than 55 patriotic organi-
cations. she says. and often
gives lectures on how to join
the various groups. She has
data on membership require
ments for rs groups. she said.
One of the guests yesterday
was Brig. Gen. Charles D.
Roberts. retired. Of Chevy
Chase. Now "a. the general is

or winner from World War /.

BY DIR, PAUL POPENOE

Mrs. LIS son is ready for
college next fall. But, she
writes. I'm alarmed by the
stories I've heard and read
about drinking in college. MY
own father was a drunkard.
If I thought my boy might end
up that way, I'd rather not
send him at all. He might run
UP against some very undesir-
able influences"
No one can hide from un-
desirable influences, Mrs. L.;
the best protection for your
boy is a good home back

this?
This might help: ask your

House Action
Is Predicted on
.2dMorigages
by ROBERT X. WALSH

Second mortgage financing
has become such a racket and
so explosive economically In
many parts Of the country that
Congress will enact stricter
controls. q House Banking
Committee member predicted
yesterday.
Representative Rains, Demo-
crat Of Alabama. chairman Of
the subcommittee on housing
legislation. announced his group
viii investigate the problem
soon after Congress recon-
venes. He released a stan COM
pilation OF reports from nu-
nnerons FHA and Veterans Ad-
ministration local ofiices and
other Government agencies.
these reports show clearly
that second mortgage practices
and other unwholesome financ-
ing schemes such as land sale
contract financing have mush-
rocmed dangerously" he said.
Throughout most Of the
Southern and Western parts Of
the country these unhealthy
financing practices are the
order OF the day."
The Baltimore FHA regional
once reported. however. IL
knew Of no unusual or pecu-
liar" practices.
The hard money policy Of the
administration is to blame for
placing such a stranglehold on
the fiow Of mortgage credit. I"
Mr.. Rains charged. He said the
second mortgage racket" has
spread as interest rates have
spiraled upward.
Il recognize that In some
cases second mortgage financ-
ing may not be harmful" he
said. Certainly 1t is q legiti-
mate means for a home owner
with sufiicient equity to raise
the necessary cash for emer-
gencies by placing q second
mortgage on his home. I would
have no objection to q second
mortgage with q liberal term
which carries an interest rate
not far out Of line with the
going interest rate on firH
mortgage loans.
But when we find thousands
and thousands Of families TAX
ing on short-term hlgh-intefest
second mortgage loans to A.
nance homes they are so eager
to buy we have an explosive
situation"
The stan reports estimate
that approximately $4,000
dwelling units have been pri-
vately financed this year.
