WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-

large network of government-owned
atomic power plants by 1867, State
Department spokesman have an
nounced. Lewis L. Strauss, Atomic
Energy Commission chief, said Acc

The announcement came as admin

Senate to lead in creating a United

atomic energy.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, UN Ambassador James j.
Wadsworth, and Strauss were to testi-
fly before the Senate foreign relations
committee, May 10, in favor of the
worldwide agency.
The European plan calls for a 16-

Murray defended the "at-site' rate,
criticized by Watkins, which permits
delivery of power at low cost within
a 15-mile radius of Hungry Horse
Dam in western Montana.
This at-site rate was estab-
lished to encourage some industries
to locate il. the immediate area of
these great projects" said Senator
Murray. CONSTRUCTION of these
projects floods large blocks of land
which are taken out of the tax
base, and displaces many people.
New property values and new OPP
portunities are needed to offset
this economic upset. The rate there
fore, is wisely designed. 1t is justi-
fled because transmission costs are
avoided. The customer must take
his power from the bus bar. There
is no subsidy"
Murray questioned Watkins state
ment that during the first Is years
of operation the Columbia Basin has
paid off only O,409,916 on its
total net capital investment.
"How can projects pay for them
selves when they are not even COM
pleted?" asked Senator Murray.
''Why weren't up-to-date figures
used? Total capital repayment at the
end of fiscal 1856 was $2O2,-
1924, which places the entire pro-
gram some $77.1 million ahead of
schedule in repayments. Imagine that
"a government spending program
which not only pays for itself, but is

MISSOULA-The University OF
Idaho and the U. S. Forest Service
have joined forces in a new attack
on a familiar but destructive forest
pest-blister rust disease of white
pines. Long-term agreements signed
at Moscow, Idaho, last week will i'm
plement cooperative experimentation
in forest genetics, aimed largely
toward the production of blister rust
resistant western white pine.
Cosigners pointed out that the
agreements cover tree breeding work
extending 35 or more years into the
future. They also emphasized the
point that while gains in resistance or
growth rate of forest trees through
genetic improvement will be longer
in coming, they should be equally
as great as those experienced in wheat
or cattle breeding programs. To back
up these beliefs the University has
set aside a 2-acre building site and
40 acres of valuable farm land to aid
in the breeding, production and test
ing of rust resistant white pine. The
Forest Service, in turn, will construct,
equip, and staff new north Idaho
forest genetics center on the building
site and farm acreage provided.
SOME RUST RESISTANT
TREES FOUND
Cooperative work to be carried on
at the center has its foundation in the
finding of few apparently rust re-
sistant. north Idaho white pines, start
ing about 1947. An intensified search
since that time has resulted in locat-
ing more than 200 such trees, each
exposed to the rust di-
sease, yet remaining free of rust |
Thus mother nature produced a re-
sistant strain but the problem of ex-
plotting it's inherent resistance was |
up to the forest geneticists. In 1850
they tackled the problem and by con-
5rolled pollination effected the mat
ng of resistant wild" trees some
lines separated by hundred miles
or more of rugged, mountain coun-
,ry. By so doing the geneticists took
/ short cut on mother nature, one
hat has probably saved several hun
lred years. Using the seed and seed
ings thus produced the geneticists
hen attempted to determine how
much, if any, of the resistance of the
Wild parents was transmitted to their
eedling children" Several years of
esting has shown conclusively that
esistance is transmitted to Seeding
sometimes in an encourag-
ng degree. 1t appears from this that
he obtaining of a seed-produced re-
istant strain is now only a matter
f time. With blister rust control in
he Inland Empire now costing the
ederal and state governments and
rivate landowners more than a mil
on dollars annually this finding is
f great practical Importance.

Workers at the new genetics CEN

Three Weeks in Open Jar
After three weeks in the open
jar the leaves and flowers are
ready to be sealed up with the
seeds and spices. Parafin on the
outside Of glass covers will seal
them. Allow the mixture to age
for six weeks. When you remove
the cover a delightful fragrance
will greet you and after six
months or even years it will be as
strong as when you made it.

and then mix them later &C
cording to your preference of

care must be taken so as not to
