The annual battle with crab
grass can be greatly simplified
If not entirely solved at this
season of the year. Modern SCI
ence has provided several ma
terials which. if applied now,
will kill the dormant crab grass
seeds before they germinate. 1t
is just that simple. Numerous
tests by the Turf Section of
the Agricultural Research Serv-
ice of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and by
the University of Maryland re-
search workers show some of
these materials to be effective
in this area.
Whenever soils and climate
become a factor in the effec-
tiveneSS of chemicals applied to
the soil we should rely on the
results of experimental re-
search at our nearby stations.
Interestingly, their work does
not always coincide with re-
suits of stations at a distance.
Thus far, they have selected
possibly two others that
have demonstrated their effec-
tiveness. Dacthal and Zytron
are the first two and they are
widely sold locally under trade
names. The other two are
forms of arsenate tri-calcium
arsenate and standard lead ar
senate. These, too, are sold
under trade names.
Apply Before Mid-April
These materials may be ap-
piled at any time now but not
later than mid-April since they
must have time to attack the
dormant crab grass seed. Nor
mally we do not expect to see
crab grass seedlings until mid
May although in the more pro-
tected downtown areas it has
been known to show up ear
lier.
After spreading the crab
grass killer it should be watered
lightly into the soil. A heavy
watering could carry it down
beyond the terminating zone
which is the top half-inch.
Any disturbance of the soil
after application will bring crab
grass seed up into the germin-
ating zone and remove the
chemical. hence any raking or
other stirring of the soil should
be done before an application
of these crab grass killers.
All of the manufacturers of
these crab grass killers they
are usually referred to as pre-
emergence" materials since
they only work on the dormant |
Seed-should not be applied to
areas where the permanent
grasses have been recently
seeded. If the newly seeded |
grass can be cut two or three
times before May l, it is rela-
lively safe to apply the pre-
emergence crab grass seed kill
erS. Otherwise it is best to
wait until next spring before
applying them.

Three new laws have enabled

ing, Director j. Edgar Hoover
said today in the FBI's annual
report for fiscal 1862.

most important pieces Of Fed

combat organized crime. Mr..
Hoover disclosed that 80 per-
sons were arrested during the

OF the 80 arrested, ~ were

during the year and a large
quantity of gambling equipment
was seized, the FBI said. Until
last September, the FBI had
very limited jurisdiction with
respect to organized crime and
gambling. Mere passage OF the
new laws caused grave concern
to many top hoodlums of the
Nation and immediate FBI in
vestigations began disrupting
Interstate criminal activity.
Near Record Convictions
In other fields, the FBI set
some records of its own in a
year when bank robberies, bur-
glaries, larcenies and car thefts
hit a new high. The bureaus
agents reached a new high in
recoveries, savings and fines Of
$174,561 ,341-an amount equal
ling a return Of $1.S7 for every
dollar appropriated for the FBI
during the year.
Convictions in FBI cases rose
to 1885, highest for any peace
time year. Almost 81 per cent
of persons brought to trial were
convicted, 92.6 per cent of them
on guilty pleas. These convic-
tions resulted in actual, sus-
pended or probationary SEN
tences of more than 37,100I
years and fines of $1,796.365.
The number Of fugitives To-
Gated during the fiscal year to-
tailed 11,163, an increase Of
1928 over the year before.
Agents of the FBI located Is
men who had made the cele-
brated "Ten Most Wanted" list.
During the year. confidential
informants supplied informa-
ton which led to apprehension
of 1880 persons of which 1,205
were fugitives. Their aid led to
recovery of $4,225, ,063 in money
and merchandise.

Churchman Campbell is not OPP

white or black. He merely thinks
that if churchmen - in the pulpit

make God unwelcome in His own

He has done so many times before.

The New Republic Reports On
Skeletons In The Senatorial Closet

The following colloquy between Senator Eastland
of Mississippi Senator Ellender of Louisiana took
place the floor of the United States Senate August
"a, 1860:
Mr.. Eastand: Is it not true that Trujilo has
been a friend of the United States?
Mr.. Elender: do not believe there is any doubt
about that There is not country in South or
Central America which, since 1852 has shown greater
economic progress than the Dominican Republic.
Mr.. Eastland: Did the Senator from Louisiana
find that the people there happy and contented?
Mr. EHender: I saw no evidence of unrest
Mr.. Eastland Is it not true that Trujillo has
given the country stability something it never had
before?
Mr.. EUender: There is no question about that.
Mr. EoStla1d: Is it not also true that it takes
strong to rule in countries of that sort :?
Mr.. Euender: That is certainly true in many in
stances.
Mr. Eastland: If it destroyed and if vacu-
UNI were left, who would march in?
Mr. Ellender: Another Castro, without doubt.
mr. Eastland: Is not Trulo the foremost enemy
of Communism in Latin America?
Mr. EUender: I met anyone there who SO
often and vocally professed his opposition to Com
munSrn.
Last week, reporter visited the Dominican Re
public and interviewed Rafael Valera Bentez the 81
year-od prosecutor who has the grim and dangerous
lob of uncoverng the trail of murder and mayhem be-
oueathed by Generaissimo Rafael Trujilo."
The prosecutor is quoted by Dom Bonafede of the
Miami Herald as follows: "FIow many people did
Truiillo kill? At least 00000-and probably many
thousands more during his 30-year rule. AS to how
MANY were beaten and tortured it is impossible to
guess but there few families who have not had one
relative among the victims 1t is like walking over

to give up his inalienable
right to dispose of his prop
erty to whom he pleases or
to lease it to persons of his
own choosing.
The unfairness Of racial
discrimination is widely rec
ognized, but the remedy does
not lie in an unconstitutional
or illegal use of Executive
power. There are lots Of diff
cult problems that face the
Executive, but solutions will
never be found in "an auda-
cious usurpation of power"
as Senator Stennis of Mis-
sissippi, Democrat, calls the
new Executive order. Senator
Robertson Of Virginia, Demo-
crat. characterizes it as sab
Solutely unconstitutional" and
as having been issued for rea-
sons of political expediency."
Senator Jacob Javits of New
York, Republican, applauds
it, as do others in Congress
who believe "the end juStifies
the means"
The phrase "by one stroke
of the pen" was frequently
used by Mr.. Kennedy in the
presidential campaign of 1860
when he criticized President
Eisenhower for failing to
issue the same kind of Exec
utive order that now has
been promulgated. Mr.. Ken
nedy evidently feels he has
the right to sign such an
order barring discrimination
in any private project that
receives a Federal loan or
Federal assistance Of any
kind. Does it also become a

city how many employees Of

rectly financed by banks or
private institutions which.
are under Federal supervision
AS most of them happen
to be?
The new Executive order
doesn't cite a single Federal
statute as legal authority for
the action taken. It mem
tons instead such broad
phrases as "the public policy
of the United States as
manifested in its Constitu-
ton and laws" The Presi-
dents order also says that
the Executive branch of the
Government has the "obliga-
ton and duty to assure that
those laws are fairly ad-
