MOSCOW R - The Soviet space twins said Tuesday they pafachuted to earth 125 miles apart last Wednesday after a team flight in which their space ships once were separated by only about three miles. There was no physical contact in orbit.
 Maj. Andrian Nikolayev and It. Col Popovich seotched Western speculation about rendezvous and disclosed some other details of their orbital experiences at news con ference.
 The official announcement last Wednesday of the ends of the flights. reported to have covered a total of 28 million miles, said the two landed on board ship and their spaceships, the Vostok III and Vostok ", landed normally.
 Nkolayev and Popovich said, however, they elected themselves and came down by parachute while the two ships settled to earth with their own lowering systems. One of Russia's two earlier astronauts landed similarly.. The other said he stayed with his ship.
 Did Physical Exercises
 Nikolayev said he did special physical exercises on the next 10 last of his GA orbits to prepare his body for the pull of gravity On the last circuit, he said, all lower ing instruments and systems were switched on.
 T thought that shall soon be on earth,' Nikolayev said. T told this to Popovich and he communi- cated within six minutes that the lowering system. had also been switched on in his spacecraft."
 The retro-rockets then began operating, brakins down speeds of about 17.500 miles an hour, and the spaeeships dropped gradually into the denser atmosphere of the earth
 After the deceleration forces had decreased, ZNikolayeV said sthere was for moment scnsa- ton as if the ship were cart or bad road One felt the bumps in the road. Then gradually, as the deceleration forces diminished fur ther to 112 times normal gravity this sensation passed. After cer- tain time l separated from the shif and made my landing by para chute.

Each year in the Nations
forests, men set out more than
10000 traps to catch a creature
that can destroy the trees if
it gets out of hand.
The traps work without a
hitch. The main ingredient?
Sex appeal.
The culprit is the gypsy
moth, whose larvae can cause
considerable damage to tree
areas unless checked.
For a long time, scientists
have known that the female
moth has a sexual "attractant"
which draws the male to fly
sometimes over a mile to mate.
The female, itself, cannot fly.
IL Used as Lures
Until three years ago, in
order to bait the traps, thou
sands of gypsy moths had to
be caught and killed. 1t took
at least II female moths to
bait one trap.
The trap itself is not used
to kill the males, but to check
on the gypsy moth population
in a given wooded area.
First, the area is treated with
a chemical insecticide. The
traps reveal whether any of
the moths are still living. If

so, the area is treated again.
The purpose of the check is to
keep the use of chemicals to
a minimum.
In 1859, after II years of re-
search, scientists developed a
method enabling them to
synthesize the natural attract
ing lure of the female gypsy
moth.
Now. according to G. J.
Haeussler, assistant director of
the Entomology Research Divi-
sion, Agricultural Research
Service, enough of the synthetic
material can be manufactured
to bait traps 'for the next 200
years, at a cost Of less than
So"
Government scientists are
aware of the hazardous side ef-
fects that chemicals can have
on wildlife and soil, and there
are fears that humans can be
indirectly affected by them.
Controls Needed
Experiments initiated since
1946 at the Department of Agri-
cultures Plant and Industry
Station. and the Fish and
Wildlife Services research CEN
ter at Beltsville, Md, have con-
vinced them that better, less
hazardous controls are needed.

Today, applications of DDT
are at a minimum. AS little
as / pound per acre can be
applied effectively to combat
certain pests.
AS far as the consumer is
concerned, the Government has
regulations and agencies to en-
force use of chemicals within
the legal limits.
The Food and Drug Admin
istration enters into the scene
whenever agricultural products
are put on the market for con-
sumer buying.
Foods Checked
IF foods are found on the
market that exceed the residue
tolerance that Food and Drug
sets, they are seized" said DR..
Byron T. Shaw administrator
of the Agricultural Research
Service.
DR.. Shaw said Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman is pre-
pairing an explanatory state
ment" to inform the public di-
rectly about what Agriculture
is doing to reduce the danger
of chemicals. The statement,

resistant vegetables from as
paragus to watermelon, which
no longer need preventive
chemical treatment.
Mr.. HaeuSsler explained an
other part of the problem.
Many of our most injurious
pests are not native" he said.
He listed as an example the
European corn-horer, the Jap
anese beetle, and the Mexican
bean beetle.
when they came in," he
said, they came in without
their natural enemies"
I'VE sent entomologists to
their home countries for nat
ural enemies, brought them in,
raised them in labs and re-
leased them," Mr.. Haeussler
said. But many of these natural
predators have died out, for
various reasons, he said.
DDT Tested
When insecticides came into
popular use, DR.. Boswell in
sisted that they be tested for
possible harmful effects. The
first experiments employed
drastic quantities" of chemi-
Gals to test plots, according to
DR.. Boswell. Up to 228 pounds
of DOT per acre were used in

Senate Gives Approval to Proposed
Par k Police Discipline System

A bill to set up trial boards
to discipline misbehaving park
policemen cleared the Senate
today with strict guarantees
that men be treated impartially
by the boards.
The chief of police would not
be subject to the trial proceed
ings.
Both the House and Senate
freed the chief from the power
of the proposed board. Interior
Secretary Udall asked power
for the board to hear charges
against the chief, as we'll as
the men, in his original draft
sent to Congress last August.
Since then, Park Police Chief
Harold F. Stewart has been
transferred to Guam and is
working on a report of police
needs on the Pacific island.
Charges Of squabbling among
members and of attempts to
win promotions through polit-
ical pull are said to have low
cred morale of the 225-man
force.
Nelson Murdock is repeatedly
due for appointment as deputy
chief to replace Acting Chief
Nash Castro, a regional direc-
tor of the National Parks.
Limits Made Clear
The Senate Interior Commit
tee, in reporting the bill, made
it clear that the new trial board
would deal only with infraction
of rules carrying maximum
penalties of 500 in fines or
seven-day suspensions.

accused unless the accused is
an inspector. The other two
are to be Interior Department
employees.
The secretary may modify
trial board findings on appeal,
but no such modification shall
increase the severity of the
sentence Of the trial board"
Bill sponsors said they did
not want to stop present prac-
ticeS Of reprimanding men for
minor infractions nor the use
of civil service charges for
offenSes meriting greater pun
ishment than permissible under
the bill.
Differences in the Senate
and House versions are ex-
pected to be ironed out in

ever, that the House will accept

centers, tests have shown that
some chemicals are so lethal as
to kill off complete populations
of birds within short periods of
time, and to render treated soil
completely unproductive. Vari-
GUS fruits and vegetables have
been unable to thrive in the
treated soil. Root crops, such
as potatoes, were completely in
hibited from growth in test
plots.
Research Underway
With these results at hand,
the scientists today are devot-
ing most of their time to de-
veloping biological controls to
curb and eliminate destructive
pests and diseases. The ad-
vantage Of biological control,
they say, is that it attacks the
individual pest or disease with
out harming anything else.
The problem, however, is that
it takes 10 to Is years to de-
velop a disease resistant plant
variety, according to DR.. Victor
R. Boswell, chief of the Vege-
table and Crops Research Di-
vision, AIRS.
But considerable inroads have
been made, he said. Since 1886,

breeders have introduced more

One Clue Fails
A surge of hope that the girls
might have been found arose
about l pm. today when some
amateur radio operators went
on the air to say they had seen
two girls resembling Rita and
Tita in the Bargain City Shop
ping Center of Fairfax County
near Hybla Valley.
The hams" said they had
put a man on each entrance
while they radioed for a COM

set out for Hybla Valley but
before they arrived the radio
men broadcast word that the
girls in the shopping center
were not the missing children.

Seen Playing Together
The youngsters were last
seen playing together in front
of their adjoining homes. Mr..
Morley, a former Marine Of

call Maria Theresa for dinner
at 5 o'clock. He could not find
her and returned to the apart

had gone to a friends apart

At6p.m., he and Mrs. Ohlgren
became so alarmed that Mr..
Morley organized a searching
party to Scour the neighbor-
hood. Finally, Mr.. Morley said
he called police a few minutes
after 8 pm.
Alexandria police sent every
available man, including three
man-dog teams to the Brook
vile section and began check
ing not only the wooded areas
but also homes in the area.
They found only one person
who had seen the girls. That

she saw the girls playing in

The Senate added to the
House bill promises of notice to
the accused at eac hstage of the

changes could be made relat-
ing to charges upon which

pension.
The twin aims of the legis-
