A ban on defense company
advertising of military weapons
and missiles might be recon-
mended by a House Armed
Services subcommittee which
is trying to determine whether
contractors put pressures on
Congress, the Pentagon and
general public opinion.
Subcommittee Chairman He

said today he personally is in
clined to favor a curb of some
kind on such advertising. He
and his subcommittee COL
leagues declared they intend to
dig deeper into testimony Of
yesterday that Boeing Airplane
Co. advertisements in behalf Of
the Bomarc missile were main
" to counterfeit pressure" by
rival ads for the Nike missile.
To Call on 8 Companions
The subcommittee intends to
call officials of eight other ma
Ior defense contract companies
next week. They will include
the Douglas Aircraft Co. and
the Western Electric Co. Wit
neSSes will be asked, among
other things, whether they en-

Pickets Face
First Labor
Law Action
BY the Associated Press

The Government moved yes
terday for the first time under
the new labor law to obtain
court orders to stop allegedly
illegal picketing. 1t acted in
cases at Alton, ILL.,, and Dali
las. Tex.
Stuart Rothman, general
counsel of the National Labor
Relations Board, started the
actions. He authorized that in
functions be sought under a
new provision forbidding rec
ognitional or Iorganizational
picketing within IL months
after an NLRB representational
election.
The action was directed at
Local 344 of the Retail Clerks
Union picketing the Alton
Myers Bros. store at Alton and
Local 745 of the Teamsters
OIllOH, plckeClng a warehouse
OF Macatee, Inc. a gypsum firm
at Dallas.
The Clerks Union has been
picketing at Alton since July,
1858, although, the NLRB said,
the union was rejected in De-
cember, 1858, by vote of 17-2.
The Teamsters Union has
been picketing the Dallas ware
house since May, 1858, al
though, the NLRB said, it was
rejected in June, 1859, by a
vote of 1913.
In both cases the companies
filed charges this week to take
advantage of the new labor
law.

The great fuss stirred up by
the discovery that a weed kill
ing spray can contaminate
cranberries raises a question
about the use of chemicals else
where in agriculture.
Aminotriazole. involved in the
cranberry incident, is one oi
56,500 chemical Foundations
registered with the Department
of Agriculture for use against
insects, rodents, weeds and
other pests that plague the
farmer and home gardener.
How is the public health
protected against any possible
danger from these products?
History OF Spray
A good way to arrive at tht
answer is to follow the brie1
history of aminotriazole, syn
thetic chemical containing car
bon, hydrogen and nitrogen
atoms in an arrangement fig
ured out by the American
Cyanamid Co.
Before it can put a pesticidC
or other agricultural chemica
on the market a manufacture
must register a label with the

ing how the product is to bt
used.
The department first hearC
of aminotriazole in 1855 wher
American Cynamid asked that
it be approved for use against
weeds in pastures and area
where no crops are grown.
The next year, after many
tests conducted by both the
manufacturer and by the Gov
ernment, the department al
lowed the company to register
a label specifying the spray
could be used on lawns, alone
roadsides and other noncroI

and costly. It generally re-
quires two years Of testing with
laboratory animals to discover
IL a product has harmful ef-
fectS.
In the case of aminotriazole,
company scientists established
that rats fed large quantities
of the chemical developed can
Ger Of the thyroid. The FDA
refused to grant a tolerance and
when residue was discovered in
parts Of the 1859 crop, the
cranberry crisis erupted.
This case history shows that
no matter how carefully the
Government watches over the
marketing Of a new pesticide,
some of the ultimate RESPONSE
bility for seeing that it is not
harmful lies with the individ-
ual who uses it.
Aminotriazole was not sup
posed to touch a cranberry. The
manufacturer clearly specified
this on the label. If the direc-
tionS had been followed, the
cranberry growers would have
spent their usual enjoyable
Thanksgiving.
Continual Checking
The same is true of all the
other sprays on the market,
The Department of Agricul-
ture continually checks them,
taking them OF store shelves
to see if the manufacturer is
m maintaining the specified
standards. State and county
agents are in close touch with
farmers, advising them how to
use the new chemical products,
But there is no policing of
the individual farm to see just
how the spray is used. The
Government can extend its
protective arm only so far.
A Department of Agriculture
official who works closely with
the pest-control problem pro-
videS probably the best answer
to the question of how the pub
lie health can be protected
against the chemical sprays.
"We'd have a devil of a time
digging up one case where any,
thing went wrong if directions
were followed" he says.

Youth, Is, Caught
In Stolen Auto

A 16-year-old boy was cap
tured early today after he ran
a stolen 1860 Ford into the
curb at Fourth and I streets
NE, police reported.
1t. John Kinney of the second
precinct said the youth ad-
mitted stealing the car after
finding it parked on South
Capitol street last night with
the key in the ignition. He
added that the vehicle had
temporary District tags on il
and that police are checking
to find the owner.
He said police started to pur-
sue the car because it was
speeding. Juvenile papers have
been filed charging the youth
with unauthorized use of the
car.

Former CoIumnist
Pluns to Revive
Brooklyn Eagle

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (AP)
Purchase of the name of the
defunct Brooklyn Eagle, it's
news files and its good will
from the former publisher has
been announced by a one-time
columnist for the Eagle.
Robert w. Farrell, who made
the announcement yesterday,
said he had paid a five-f1gure
sum to the former pub
Usher, Frank D. Schroth.
Mr.. Farrell, a lawyer, said he
plans to revive the newspaper
in February. He said he had
contracted with a Manhattan
newspaper, which he did not
name, to print the revived
paper.
The Eagle stopped publica-
ton March 16, 1855. Its phys
ical assets later were sold.

areas, but not on pastures
where cattle grazed.
In February, 1857, the COM
pany proposed that aminotria-
zole's use be broadened to in
clude cranberry bogs, corn
fields, soybean fields and apple
and pear orchards. Ten months
later the department said okay
on the cornf1elds, but turned
down the other suggested uses
And for corn, it could be used
only before the crop was
planted.
After still more tests the de.
lpartment permitted the COM
pany in 1858 to register a labe,
specifying aminotriazole's usE
in cranberry bogs-a week tt
10 days after the harvest. Still
another revision last month
okayed it for apple and peal
orchards - either before thu
fruit forms or after it has beer
picked.
Thus for four years there hai
been constant testing of tht
product by both the manufac,
turer and the Government. II
addition, State experimental
stations with any knowledge o
the spray were closely ques,
toned by the Department O
Agriculture.
But that's not all.
How Crisis Developed

on a food crop needs to bt

Administration. This agency o.
