cized the refinancing operation.
They have said the 4 per cent
interest rate offered would
mean increased interest charges
throughout the economy.
However. Mr.. Burgess told
the committee the new securi-
ties were priced closer to the
bond market than any Treasury
issue since 1851.
Calls Plan Successful
He said he believed his pres
entation showed "the Treasury
does not force rates up, as
sometimes stated"
1T has always been our
policy" he declared. ito sell our
securities at the lowest interest
rates at which the maturities

centage of publicly-held matur-
tiles turned in for cash Of any
refinancing since March a year
ago"
He added that the Treasury
also sold $2.5 billion Of the
new four-year notes, which he
said helped keep the debt on a
longer term basis.

Brentano stated that Germany
can be reunited only after free
elections are held in both parts
of the country split by the iron
curtain.
The declaration was made
Just seven weeks before the
crucial West German parlia-
mentary elections September
is. In the campaign the oppo-
Sition Socialists have charged
that Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer is running any chance of
Soviet agreement to reuni-
f1cation by keeping West Ger
many in the North Atlantic
alliance.
The declaration rejected any
idea of imposed neutrality %
standardization for a reunited
Germany. 1t promised that the
reunited country would be free
to decide its own military
policy.
Choice Up TO Germans
1t said it would be up to
the German people, through
their freely elected govern
ment," to decide whether their
reborn nation should join the
North Atlantic Alliance.
The Western powers prom
ised that if q reunited Ger
many should plump for the
Western Alliance, they would
offer the Soviet Union a Euro
pean security pact "of signifi-
cant and far-reaching charac-
ter"
The West has rejected previ-
Gus Soviet proposals for an all
European security pact, con-
tending that this would be un-
realistic and unavoidable unless
preceded by settlements of
such major EaSt-West issues as
the division of Germany.

Sc Elm Trees Were
Found Infected

AS a result of a survey of elm
trees throughout the State, Sc elm
trees were found to be infected with
Dutch Elm DiDsease, according TO a
report to the State Highway De-
partment by w. r. Hickman, Plant
Pathologist for the State Board OF
Agriculture.
OF the Sc infected trees, 81 we're
found along highways with 80 be
ing in Kent County, ~ in SUSSEX
County and 4 in New Castle COuu
~, according 20 the report.
The State High =ay Department
upon receipt of the report on the
survey, Immediately issued instruc
tiOns to the Division Engineers in
each County to have the infected
trees removed and the wood de-
strOyed.
In the report on the survey Mr.
Hickman commented in part,
These trees should be cut down
and burned. If the cut wood can
not be burned it should be. sprayed
with DDT in fuel oil.
"In addition to these 81 diseased
trees we observed numerous dead
elms along many roads. These dead
trees should also be removed to
destroy the breeding places for the
elm bark beetle carrier of Dutch
elm disease.
"In view of the large number
OF highway elms dying from Dutch
elm disease it might very probably
be cheaper in the long run to give
all highway elms an annual DOT
dormant spray and thus slow down
the rate of infection and thereby
decrease the number of dead trees
which would have to be cut down..
In commenting on the survey re-
port, r. A. Haber, Chief Engineer of
the Highway Department, stated
that while the Department has re-
moved a number of trees each sea-
son for the past several years, the
Dutch elm disease continues to
thrive.
He also stated that reports seem
to indicate that the disease is af-
fecting trees in a number of other
sections of the Country on a larger
scale this year than in some former
years.
Dutch elm disease has been
described as a fungus which plugs
the cells and stops the water from
moving up in a tree. 1t rObs tree
of nourishment by hardening the
conductive tissues which conveys
food from the leaves to the body Of
the tree. II is transmitted by a
small insect known as a Bark
Beetle.
The disease is easier to detect in
the spring either through the lack
of foliage or discolored leaves,
which usually turn brown.
Mr.. Haber also urges that home
owners and other property owners,
remove dead elm trees and spray
live elms against Matching broods
of the American and small Euro
pean bark beetles. A six per cent
solution of DDT is suggested for
use at this time, while later a IL
per cent solution could be used.
However, as warning, a heavy
concentration of DDT at this time
would burn the foliage.
Experts on the Dutch elm disease
report that there will be very little
spread of the disease during the
rest of this summer since the elms
are difficult to inOculate after the
summer wood is laid down.
They say, however. infected trees
thet are left standing, if infected
with beetles. are source Of the
fungus which the beetles can carry
TO their brood galleries and thus be
contaminated when they emerge
next spring to feed.

This measure would prevent

Mr.. Ballantine said these

Notes Mrs. HObby's Report
He said Oveta CUP Hobby,
former Secretary of Education,
indicated in 1853 a deficit of
3l2. 900 classrooms. and said
this deficit was increasing. /"
But. he added. in 1855 Mrs.
Hobby said the deficit was de-
Ginning and the classroom need
by 1890 would drop TO 176, 900
classrooms.
The current report from the
Office Of Education. Mr.. Ballan-
tine continued, indicates the def
icit has declined faster than
predicted by Mrs. Hobby" and
that as of last fall, the deficit
was $4,000 classrooms.

dicted to happen in six years,
