From The Office Of
John J. Williams

United States Senator John J.
Williams (R-Del) has told the
Senate that he thinks the Civil Ser
vice Commission violated the law
by telling Federal employees they
are free to boost Kennedy Admin
istration programs in public.
At the same time, the Delaware
Republican revealed that he has
asked Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy for his opinion as to
whether the Civil Service Commits
ion action is legal and if so wheth-
er it also means Federal employ
es are free to oppose Kennedy
programs.
Senator Williams strongly sup
ported the Civil Service system as
means of protecting both Federal
employees and the taxpayers from
what he called, ''the costly abuse
of the patronage system"
He referred to a ruling dated
January 10, 1862, and signed by
John w. Macy, Jr., Commission
Chairman, which states that the
career official may explain the
position of the Administration in
the proposed legislation before in
terested public groups.
Senator Williams then quoted
section of the law which prohibits
the use of Federal funds for pub
llcity or propaganda designed to
support or defeat legislation pend
ing before Congress.
''It is significant" Senator Will
Jams continued, that this ruling
valves the Civil Service restriction
only to those Civil Service en-
ployees who elect to explain or de-
fend the position of the Admins
tration. They are not released as
free agents to express their own
opinions when it is against the Ad-
ministration's proposal
If the Attorney General uphoIds
this apparent violation of the in
tent of the Civil Service laws, then
Congress should take heed and
enact whatever legislation is nee
essary to stop this abuse before it
breaks down our entire Civil Ser
vice system" he said.

SeuIfest Official
Tells Of Industry

The nations farmers last year
produced more milk than ever be-
fore, but consumption of milk and
milk products declined by about
three per cent DR.. Roy F. Daven-
port, director of Sealtest Foods
field service department, said here
last night
Speaking in the Milford H G h
School at the company's annual
meeting for its local milk produc-
ers, the Sealtest official warned
the dairy farmers and their fam
lilies that this nationwide trend will
demand greater efforts by farmers
to produce high quality milk.
We are faced with a serious
drop IN milk consumption" DR..
Davenport said. Milk consumption
in 1861 fell markedly below the
three per cent gain in population.
Last year, milk production also in
creased by about three per cent
and the increase is expected to be
even greater in 1862. Sealtest, with
90 fewer producers, is currently
ulIHIIS ABOUT nine per cent aneaQ
of last year in milk production.
AS result of these develop
ments, farmers who want to con-
tlnue selling their milk simply will
have to practice better farm mana
cement and pay stricter attention
to milk sanitation standards and
regulations, he concluded.
In another part of the program,
Harry Kaufman, of the Philadel-
phia Dairy Council, gave a slide
and movie film presentation on the
Dairy Councils activities to in
crease dairy product sales.
The program also included
professional entertainer and re-
freshments.

plans for market stabilization. The
national marketing order was one
of its proposals.
The program would include all
Irish potatoes grown in the rs
contiguous States. Recommends
tions would be made by the Ma
tional Potato Administrative Board
mutually composed of 46 mem
bers-representi seasonal pro
ducing groups, processing, chip
ping, and shipping interests with
in the industry. Each seasonal
group, professors, clippers and
shippers would be represented by
seasonal or special committee
which would make recommends
lions to the Board regarding it's
group or segment of the indus
| try.
The program would authorize
grade, size, quality, maturity, pack,
container and labelling require
ments for potato shipments. 1t
would also include authority which
would limit amounts which hand
IerS may purchase from or handle
on behalf of producers
AllOtmentS would be based upon
the amounts purchased from or
handled on behalf of producers in
the two highest years in the base
period 1859, 1860, and 1861. Sub
sequent to 1862 the base period
would be the average Of the high
est two of the three years immed-
lately preceding the year for which
volume regulation is contemplat-
ed, excluding 1862 from each base
period.
The order would include mar
keting policy establishing nation
al Gull regulations for fresh mar
ket and food processing. The Gull
regulations would be in effect at
all times but could be modified,
suspended, or terminated upon
recommendation of the Board.
Inspection or other forms of ev-
idence may be required on ship
nents when they are regulated.
If sufficient evidence is pre-
sented at the hearing to provide !
basis for a program, and if the |
Secretary of Agriculture approves, I
the proposed order will be SUBJ
mltted TO a referendum among /
growers in the production area

Meeting On Household
Pests Due March IL

Anyone interested in the Selec-

mentals plus the Identification and
/ control of household pests should
| attend the meeting scheduled for
March 14th at 8 pm. at the Uni
versity of Delaware Substatlon, ac-
cording to Ed Ralph, Sussex AS
sOciate County Agent.
DR.. Dale Bray, head of University
of Delaware Entomology Depart
ment, will discuss household and
ornamental insects, their ldentlfl-
cation and control. This will in
ciude such household insects as
termites, ants, moths, cockroaches,
borers and others.
The identification and control OF
ornamental diseases will be cover
ed by DR.. Donald F. Crossan, Uni
versity of Delaware plant patholo-
gist He will show slides of the
most common ornamental diseases
and discuss practical methods of
control
Robert F. Stevens, exten 81 o n
horticulturist, will discuss timely
tips on plant selection, planting
trees and shrubs, landscaping and
lawn care
For anyone who has disease or
insect specimens they would like
to have identified, this will be an
excellent time to bring them along
and ask questions during the dis
cussiOn period following the speak
ers.
This would also be a good time
to bring along soil samples of
your lawns, gardens or from under
your ornamentals. Fertilizer and
lime recommendations will then
be sent directly to you, Ralph said.
All available publications con-
corning these above subjects will
be on hand for distribution All

come to this meeting and bring
their neighbors since insects and
diseases cross property lines, and
control in a whole neighborhood is
quite often the only solution to
these problems, Ralph added.

among the troupe were kept
offstage and did not interfere
with the audience reaction to
the show, which he called
