Ratio Against u. 8. Seen
The witnesses discussed new

The committee studied charts

Senator Symington, Democrat
of Missouri, summed it up this

Neither witnesses nor other
Senators disputed Senator
Symington's conclusion - al
though previous testimony by

Maj. Gen. j. H. Walsh, head
OF Air Force intelligence, told
the Senators he disagreed with
the national intelligence esti-
mate, indicating it was too
low in estimating Soviet intent
to build missiles. Also, he did
not agree that after 1868 Soviet
missile building efforts would
begin to level off. He thought
Russia's missile stockpile would

Whites testimony was released
yesterday.
The censored testimony also
indicates that increased pro-
duction could significantly mar
row Russia's missile lead.
The opposite impression was
given by Air Force witnesses
during open-session testimony
two weeks ago.
During the open hearing, 1t.
Gen. Bernard Schriever, chief
Of the Air Research and De-
velopment Command, said that
greater efforts at missile pro-
duction would not result in an
appreciable increase in the
number Of usable missiles dur
ing the worst missile gap Pc
riod from now until 1853.
He said the lead time in pro-
duction Of missiles and con-
structien Of launching sites
was just too great.
Figures Deleted
But the later testimony of
Gen. Schriever and other Air
Force witnesses - though
pock-marked with deletions of
secret figures - leads to the
conclusion that missile produc-
tion could be doubled during
this period and site construc-
ton increased by q significant
number Of squadrons.
The present plan is to build
toward q 270-missile (or 27-
squadron) capability by 1868.
Actual numbers to be COM
pleted are secret, but would be
well under 27o before 1868.
So an increase by even a
small number Of squadrons
would be significant.

production could be increased

Oat Losses From
Yellow Dwarf
Virus Cited

Last summer, barley yellow dwarf
virus caused spring oat losses of
10 to so percent in infected fields
in the Northeast, according to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Infections were low in the north
central and northwestern oat-pro-
ducing States, where losses ranged
up to more than one-third of the
crop in 1859 Most heavily infected
this year were Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, and Maryland.
Losing more last year were Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Oregon, and Iowa.
Federal-State research to halt
spread Of the virus has been in
tensified. Maryland plant pathol-
ogist, agromists and county extern
sion agents are aware Of this dis
ease. Breeding of oats with more
tolerance to the virus appears tc
be the only practical control, they
say
Three different strains of barley
yellow-dwarf visus, which cause a
disease of oats, barley, and other
grains-have been identified by a
USDA scientist, w. F. Rochow Of
the U. S. D. AS Agricultural Re-
search Service.
The strains are differentiated
from each other by the fact that
each is usually carried by diff
ferent aphid species. Aphids are
the only means by which barley
yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is
transmitted to plants.

The popularity of holly as a
Christmas decoration is not mere
" because the plant retains its
prickly green leaves and bright
red berries after winters cold has
withered other forest greenery.
Before the Christmas, Romans
sent gifts of holly to friends to
mark the December festival of
Saturn. The superstitious Druids
kept holly in their dwellings, as an
invitation to the Spirits to enter
and seek shelter from winter cold
and winter winds. The early Ger
mans used holly in an observance
which marked the return of the
sun from its southwark pilgrim
age.
In medieval times, holly was
used as a remedy to treat a va
riety of aches and ailments. Some
early American Indians even at
tached twigs of holly to their
shields, in the belief that some
special powers within the holly
would make them more formid-
able in battle.
Holly. like mistletoe, is sur
rounded by legends and supersti-
tons, dating back to pagan rites
and rituals. We moderns attach
no particular significance to our
use of holly as a Christmas dec
oration-other than that it is ira
ditional' and pretty" Yet, we
use so much more holly than our
ancestors used that today the
plant has all but disappeared il

What species of evergreen is
best for use as a Christmas tree?
Forestry experts and us. Depart
ment of Agriculture experts say
that there is no "all-round" best
species.
Here are some facts about the
most common species which may
be helpful in selecting the right
tree for your home:
Balsam fr-once the most COM
monty used, is now relatively
scarce. 1t has short, fiat, dark
green needles alta ched to opposite
sides of the limbs in a feather
like arrangement.
Top Tree
Douglas fir-the top commercial
tree. 1t has blue-green or dark
yellow-green needles. soft and pill
able, attached all the way around
the limbs. giving it a bushy, full
appearance.
Scotch pine-long needed va
riety. 1t has needles which are
arranged in clusters on the
branches. 1t holds its needles ex-
ceptionally well.
Black Spruce-a hardy tree, but
has a dark, un-Christrnasy color.
1t is widely used for dyed and
treated trees.
White spruce-another hardy,
attractive tree, but unfortunately
it gives off an unpleasant odor.
Some things to look for in Sc
lecting tree: retention of
needles; full symmetrical shape;
limbs without sagging; fragrant
odor, Springy branches.
