not even surpassed by Our Beloved

that the build UP is not what it

CERTAIN United States Senators have

about the flying of Russian flags next to
American flags and other things, when
Premier Nikita Khrushchev visits Washing
ton and President Eisenhower next month.
These statements make good headlines,

they are in the worst diplomatic taste, and
greatly complicate the already difficult job
facing President Eisenhower and the State

If public sentiment in the United States
prefers that the Soviet flag not be flown
along with the American flag. in the usual
diplomatic style when the foremost officer
of a visiting state is an official guest, then
this should be done quietly, and without
any fanfare or cheap publicity, or political
publicity efforts
Of course, the flying of the Soviet flag
in receiving Khrushchev is mere courtesy

Control both through a regular
program Of spraying or busting.
Plants should be treated once

then every two to three weeks
during the hottest part of the
season. Sprays and dusts
should cover both sides Of the
leaves.
