Pine Sawfly
Expected TO Be
Less Damaging

The pine sawfly. which has
caused extensive defoliation of
Virginia and shortleaf pine in
the Piedmont and northern Tide
water areas for the past three
years, is not expected to be as
damaging this spring. accord
ing to H. H. Walton. Jr., chair
man Of the Virginia pine saw
fly committee. This judgment is
based on recently completed
surveys by entomologists a n d
foresters of the Virginia Dir
vision of Forestry.
The pine sawfly is an insect.
which in its larva or worm
stage. eats the old needles from
pine trees. Beginning in 1857,
the sawfly built up to epidemic
proportions in areas centering
around Louisa county in central
Virginia and around Mecklen-
burg county in the south.
BY last year, the sawfly was
infeSting pine stands through
out the Piedmont and to a lesser
extent in the TideWater.
Each year since 1857, accord
ing to Walton, the foresters of
the Virginia Division of Forestry
have been surveying pine stands
to determine the spread of the
insect. This year $50 pine stands
were sampled to find out what
damage we might expect this

Residents Fight
PEPCOSubstution

A dozen residents of the For
est Knolls area east of Wheaton
yesterday appeared at a Mont
gomery County Board Of Ap.
peals hearing to protest a Poto.
mac Electric Power Co. pro.
posal to build a 4,00o-volt resi-
dential-type substation on Uni
versity boulevard.
Bernard ]. Sell, president OF
the Forest Knolls Community
Association, declared the pro-
posed substation could change
the character Of the residential
neighborhood by tending to
make it more vulnerable to en-
croachment. He said the COM
munity is afraid that when the
boulevard is improved by the
State Roads Commission, at
tempts to extend commercial
zoning at Four Corners, l mile
to the east, will be made.
A PEPCO spokesman said
the bungalow-type substation,
similar to many other units
the company has built in resi-
d entail neighborhoods, will
harmonic with neighboring
residences and will be even
tually accepted by the COM
munity. He added that such
facilities in the long run impart
to the neighborhood they are
located in "a sense of security"
The appeals board took the
PEPCO application for a spe-
cial exception permit under ad-
visement. A decision Is expected

Senate Bottle
On Civil Rights
ToOpen Monday
BY the Associated Press

The Senate is officially or
notice that its battle over civil
rights legislation will get un-
der way on schedule Monday.
Acting Democratic Leader
Mansfield outlined the program
for Monday at yesterdays brief
Senate session.
He said the first order OF
business would be a bill to
stabilize tobacco price supports
Then, he said, leaders hope it
will be possible to act on a
compromise anti pollution
measure worked out by a Sen
ate-House conference commit
tee.
Shortly thereafter" Sena-
tor Mansfield added. "the Sen
ate will be in position to begin
discussion of civil rights"
Democratic and Republican
leaders Of the Senate agreed
last September, in the dying
hours of the last session of
Congress, to take up the ex-
ploSive civil rights issue by
February Is.
Since no civil rights measure
has been passed by the House
or approved by a Senate COM
mittee, the plan is to try to at
tach civil rights amendments
to a minor, unrelated bill
passed by the House.
The word around the Senate
is that the bill to be used for
this purpose is one providing
for the centennial celebration
of the establishment of land
grant colleges.

U. 5. Still Hopes Russia
Will Accept Test Plan

ments in the inspection system.
The Presidents plan also
calls for a complete ban on
tests in the atmosphere, in the
oceans and above ground ito
the greatest heights to which
effective controls can now be
agreed" Thus it would permit
tests in outer space which can
not now be detected.
Signal Threshold
The threshold" below which
the underground ban would not
apply would be stated as a sig
nal on seismic machine that
measures earthquakes-4.75 on
the Richter scale.
I'VE propose to express the
level in terms of signal strength,
since Soviet and Western SCI
entists are in substantial agree
ment as to the measurement
OF signals but not on the equiv
alent kiloton yields Of seismic
disturbances" a statement ac-
companying the Presidents an
nouncement said.
The United States calculates
that the AIS magnitude cor
responds roughly to the size of
the Blanca" underground shot
in Nevada in October, 1858.
That was l9-kiloton explosion.
A kiloton is the equivalent of
1000 tons of TINT.
Soviet SCIENTISTS have claimed,
however, that a 1.7-kiloton
shot, such as the 1857 Rain
ier" explosion in Nevada, will
be sufficient to produce a At
signal.
II the Russians believe their
own scientists. they should en-
brace the new American pro-
posal as an improvement on the
system devised by the 1858 con-
ference of East-West experts,
which would have effectively
banned nuclear tests down to
only 5 kilotons.

The story concerns an Eng

cottage. They told a real estate
agent they wanted q "wc." The
agent, not understanding the
initials, asked a local priest,
who said the letters stood for
wayside chapel.
And you know" Mr.. Paar
told the audience. the agent
writes back that it's in the

A network official said NBC
felt the story was in bad taste
because it involved double
meanings.
1T is MICS hope that Jack
Paar will reconsider his action
and return to the program" a
network statement said.
Mr.. Downs, who took over as
master of ceremonies on last
nights show, said OF Mr.. Paar:
HE does things hastily at
times. He did not do this
for effect. I would like to think
that it's not final, that he will
be back"
A commercial then followed,
and TAPPING of the show con-
tinued without its star.
What Mr.. Paar's action will
mean in terms of his contract
could not be ascertained i'm
mediately. After negotiating
the pact last summer he boasted
of the terms, saying he would
be paid over a 10-year period
for three years of work.
He said then that he in
tended to retire to Florida at
the end of the three years.
Some estimates put the con-
tract at s5oo,Ooo a year.
