CUTWOHM

Cutworm recommendations
state that control is based on
the needs rather than on pre-
vention. No research has been
conducted to date to indicate
that insecticides when mixed
with pre-emerge chemicals are
effective for cutworm control.
1t has been stated by the re-
search personnel that if one
tries this control measure the
recommended dose should be in
creased by one-third. This is ex-
pensive protection when one
does not know if cutworms will
be a problem. So it would be
advisable to wait and see whe-
Their you have cut worm damage
before poisoning for cutworms.

5 Bodies Found

4 (AP).-The bodies of three
California men were found
yesterday in the wreckage of
a Stanford University research
plane which crashed Deem
Der 10, 1859, on Gravina Is
land, IL miles west of here.
A search party headed by
State police and Richard Law
Der, district magistrate, found
the two motors of the ply
plane 400 yards apart on a
mountainside. Magistrate Law
Der said there was evidence
the plane hit the mountain
head-on and burned after it
hit.
Aboard were Philip Gray,
Mill Valley, Calf, the pilot;
Carl Scott, San Francisco,
mechanic, and Burris Smith,

gagged in an Arctic research
project and were returning
from the Arctic with electronic
equipment when the plane dis
appeared between Juneau and
Annette Island after radioing
that one engine had gone out.

Hoffa SEEKING
Absolute Rule
Also Plans Unit
RivuIine AFL-CIO

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, July 4
(AP).-James r. Hoffa called
an Independence Day conven-
ton. session to clinch absolute
rule over the giant Transfers
Union and obtain full authority
to organize workers anywhere.
In one of more than a hum
dred proposed changes to the
IL million-member unions con-
stitution, Mr.. Hoffa seeks power
to create his own labor fedora
ton to rival the AFL-CIO and
WOO already organized unions
into his growing domain.
The holiday session of a spe-
cial Transfers convention was
scheduled to ask the practically
solid pro-Hoffa delegates to
approve a wide range of pro-
posals to cement his power base
in American labor for a jump
off into wider fields.
Wide Drive Planned
Mr.. Hoffa has plans for a
far-ranging organizing drive
into industries already occupied
by other unions. He said that
wherever they failed to organ
ize, he's going to hop in.
In another change, Mr.. Hoffa
is deleting from the Transfers
constitution a provision that
members convicted of crime
can be ousted, or that con-
victed tracketeers must be ex-
PEELED.
This, however, has been made
unnecessary to some extent by
a new provision of Federal law
barring persons convicted of
certain crimes from holding
union office. The law does not
bar convicts from union mem
bership.
OK Seen for Other Changes
Here are some of the Hoffa-
backed convention changes ex-
pected to be adopted-just as
delegates were considered sure
to elect the 48-year-old former
warehouse boy who never fin
iShed grammar school to a new
five-year term as head of the
