Don't Wait to Act
Obviously, a community wide
program is desirable if we are
to keep from being eaten up
by these pests, but at the same
time we should consider our
own lawn problems and not
wait for someone to engender
community action. The grow
ing of a good lawn in the
Washington area is difficult
enough under the best condi-
tions, but when the roots are
devoured by ravenous japanese
beetle grubs, then it becomes
much more difficult. And the
grubs feed on the grass roots
from late august until the
following June, about eight
months which certainly will
keep the grass plants from
having a chance to grow.
Some will wonder if the
chlordane will not remove the
living source for the milky
spore disease to multiply upon.
Undoubtedly in theory this
would be true, but in practice
it is not. 1t takes from three to
five years for the milky spore
disease to become distributed
through the soil. However, 1t
is admitted that the very heavy
applications recommended by
some to prevent crabgrsSS seed
from Sprouting might so thor
oughly eliminate the beetle
grubs that the milky spore di-
seaSe would be lost. 1t is doubt
full if this could happen under
the dosageS recommended
above.

evening in Dover. This Coun-
Gil, composed of six teachers,
six school administrators, sew
en- University persons, five men,
bers of the State Department,
and seven lay persons repre-
senting various civic organiza-
tions, met at the call of the
State Superintendent. Formed
by the State Board of Educa-
ton, the Council is charged
with serving in "an advisory
capacity to the State Board of
Education on issues in regard
to teacher education and certifi-
cation" and assisting in the
formulation and interpreta-

discussed capitation taxes: 1t
was noted that collection to
date has been quite good. A
larger percent return has been
recorded for New Castle Coun-
ty in property, capitation, and
trailer taxes than from Kent
County to date. This may be
due to the fact that New Cas-
tie County uses machine returns,
reports to the school
district come in faster. The dis
trict will hold open houses for
parents during American Edu-
cation Week, November 6-l0.
All schools will be open on

Needham, Mass, suffered a knee
ailment in the Lehigh game;
and sophomore passing star
Zolak, Donora, Pa, sustained
a possible broken collarbone
against Buffalo that may side
line him for five to six weeks.
Halfbacks Karl Lorenz, River

ityville, N. Y, are doubtful per-
formers for Saturday. A good
sign was the return of fullback
Tom Michaels, Sayreville, N. j.,
in the Buffalo contest.
Delaware will probably field
a starting lineup of Ollie Baker,
Media, Pa, and Dick Broad

Delaware Blue
Hens to Engage
Lafayette Sat.

Having opened the new sea-
SON with upset victories over
Lehigh and Buffalo, the Univer-
sity of Delaware Blue Hens will
try for a 80 log when they
meet Lafayette College Satur-
day.
The Leopards will be back
on their Easton, Pa. home field
as they grid to stop the rapidly
improving Hens, who looked
particularly good last Saturday
in a 36-l2 romp over highly re-
garded Buffalo. The Pennsyl-
vania gridders, coached by Jim
McConlogue, have a win over
Muhlenberg and a loss to Penn
on their '6l record. They near
ly defeated the favored Ivy
Leaguers, finally succumbing in
a close l4-7 decision.
Though there is ample speed
in the Lafayette backfield, their
starting backs are among the
smallest in the East. Fullback
John Franco is the largest of
the regulars, measuring 5-8, IT'S
pounds. Halfbacks John Con-
tarino and Dave Ahouse are 5-8,
165 and 5-8, l55, respectively,
and quarterback Chuck Zarelli
stands Sc, weighs $50 pounds.
There is greater size among the
reserves, but these ranks are
filed with injuries and question
marks.
Contarino has proved to be
the most dangerous breakaway
threat to date; he romped IS
yards to score in the l4-l3 win
over Muhlenberg. Ahouse went
65 for a touchdown against
Penn. Halfback Walt Doleschal,
who beat Delaware last year
with a 30-yard field goal, has
been on the injured list. but he
may displace one ofsthe other
halfbacks on Saturday.
The line, too, is small. and
there is a lack of experience al
most positions. Guard Pete
Lehr, co-captain with Doleschal
is considered the top lineman
though he weighs a scant l80.
Though ach McConlogue
can count 20 returning letter
men on his 81 squad, he has
not been optomistic about his
team this year. Delaware head
coach Dave Nelson, however
has never been known to take
any football matter for grant.
ed, and chances are the game
will be hard-fought.
The Hens have been at vary

of key injuries, and a steady
parade of standouts has beer

Gov. Egan Expresses Regret at New Attempt 10 Move the Capital

JUNEAU H9 = Gov. William Egan expressed regret Thursday that another attempt will be made zo move the state capital from Juneau to westward Alaska.
 An application for an initiative petition to accomplish that was filed with Secretary Of State Hugh wade Tuesday.
 "This question was before the people last year and they made their decision then," Egan said.
 s'It is regretful that it has come up again because of the position in which it puts the entire Juneau area. It will hinder activities here which are necessary to the eco- homie growth of this area.
 sFurther, we are not in the pc sition, as state, to make the expenditures a move of this type .would require"
 Egan also told his regular Thursday morning news confer ence there are indications the federal government will make federal-aid highway funds avail able for construction of staging areas at terminals of the states ferry system.
 Egan said William ]. Niemi, Alaska Regional Engineer for the BPR, called him from Denver after conferring with Rex Whit ten, Federal Administrator of Highways.
 The Governor said if federal aid highway money is made avail able for construction of the ferry staging areas, the savings to the s:::..ss will be some $600.000.

Cancer Control Drug Being Used Treat Speaker Sam Rayburn

MADISON, Wis. M The can cer control drug used in the treat nent of House Speaker Sam Ray burn attempts to trick a hungry cancer cell into accepting a chem ical which looks like food but is really poison.
 The drug is 5 fluor-uracil.
 Dr. Charles Heidelberger, 40, of the McArdle Memorial Insti- tute for cancer research at the University of Wisconsin, directed the scientist team which devel- oped the drug in 1854. He said it is a deterrent to further can- cer growth rather than a cure.
 The drug has undergone ex- tensive clinical applications at the University of Wisconsin under the direction of pr. Anthony Curreri, professor of surgery. He said the drug has proved satisfactory in the treatment of a number of kinds of cancer, but has some side effects such as changes in bleod pressure and blood-cell count

PHS Physician Says Cenetic Damage From FalIout
 Will Be Slight
BY JoYnes MacFaxlan

WASHINGTON M = Any ge- netic damage caused by fallout from the current series of Rus sian nuclear explosions will be so slight. in the opinion of a Pub lie Health Service physician, that it may not be Gss:scernibie even after several generations.
 The physician in the services Division of Pathological Health gave his views to .h:s reporter but declined to permit identifi- cation by name.
 He said the radiation dose to reproductive cells from radio activity of levels measured in this country since Sept. will not be as large as that received over a long period from natural back ground radiation.
 There is considerable varia- tion worldwide in the amount of natural background radiation. For instance, the expert said that in the Monazite Sands areas of India it is possibly 20 times the usual maximum in this country.
 The official said it is not thought that any genetic changes caused by radiation of the levels recently recorded in this country would show up in the nations younger people or in their imne- diate offspring.
 ssIf changes do occur in far distant generations they may be in conditions not identifiable to radiation exposure" the doctor added. He said genetic alterations would not of necessity mean there would be deformed babies. There arc hundreds if identifiable ge- netic characteristics and many of these could be affected.
 The doctors opinion was sought after a statement Sunday by Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, physicist whe helped develop the Atomic Bomb, that fallout from the Russian ex- plosions in his opinion exceeds what was established by a group of scientists in 1857 to be the safe annual limit"
 The Public Health Service is concerned not only with the pos Sibie genetic effects of falIOut radiation but also with the pos sible effects on bone, bone mar row, thyroid glands and tissues.
 It is known, the doctor said, that fallout contains certain speci- fic radionuclides which affect these. Analyses are now underway to determine the amounts of the specific radionuclides in samples of air, water, milk and foods col- lected since Sept. 1.

U of Alaska Educators to Visit Here Monday

Nome will be one of the last stops for a group of educators from the University of Alaska touring the state, when they ar rive here Monday morning on Wien Airlines.
 At noon they will be guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the acting chairman urges not only members, but all interested persons to attend the luncheon.
 At 7:30 p.Tn. at the Multi Pur- pose Room of the school they will show a fine documentary film, Alaska and Its Natural Re sources, for adults and further discuss the education needs for this area This includes the Voca- tional School.
 The study is being conducted in relation to the University of Alaska Division of Statewide Services program and is being financed by a grant of S15,000 from the fund for the Advance ment of Education of the Ford Foundation.
 President of the university, Dr. William Wood, commenting on the visit of the group, stated, using their observations on the trip and the advice of community leaders in the locales they visit, the members of the study group will present recommendations to the state university and adminis- trative personnel of the Board of Regents These recommendations may lead to significant changes in the adult education services provided for Alasksns by their state university"
 The men making the trip in-| clude Dr. ]. Roby Kidd, secretary treasurer of the Social Science Research Council of Canada and former executive director of the Canadian Adult Eudcation Assn. 1; Dr. Julius Nolte, dean of the Uni- ve=sity of Minnesota; pr. Lloyd Drury, dean of Statewide Service at the University of Nevada.
 University of Alaska officials making the trip include Dr. George Worthington Adams, aca- demic vice president; Dr. Arthur Buswell, dean of Statewide Serv- ices and head ct the Cooperative Extension Service; and John Niezni, assistant to the president.

The mutant might be ineffec-
tive-or it might be a v.rulent
one capable of causing damag-
ing disease, and reproducing
mere of its own virulent kind.
Turnover Quick
The turnover is quick. On

some 200 to 500 new virus par
ticles in about four hours. Each
of these new virus particles car
infect a cell and turn out a new
batch of infective particles.
DR.. Melnick cited a mass vac
cination of 280, 900 West Berlin
ers in 1860 to show that living
virus vaccines can produce more
virulent mutantS, and that
these mutantS can be passed on
to unvaccinated persons.
The vaccine used in West
Berlin was not the Sabin- type
vaccine approved for use in the
United States. DR.. Melnick said
the vaccine used in Berlin had
been experimental and could
not meet the low-virulence
standards set by the United
States Public Health Service.
Twenty-three persons were
left dead or paralyZed by polio
in the wake of the mass vac
cination. Nine of them had
never received the vaccine, but
had had contact with vacci-
mated persons, DR.. Melnick said
BY checking the biological
fingerprintS of the viruses
found in the stricken West
Berliners, DR.. Melnick said his
researchers found them to be
the same strain as the viruSeS
used in the vaccine and differ
ent from the naturally occur
ring polio viruses recorded in
the area up to then.
