Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-06
By JASON LEVINE
star Staff Writer

Sixteen years ago, govern
ment research scientists began
experimenting with a chemical
that had been hailed as a boon
in the war against destructive
insects.
They began testing it, not to
find out how much good it could
do, but to see whether it also
could have bad effects, and If
so, on what.
Today. at the Patuxent Wild
life Research Center in Belts
vile, Nd, they believe they have
proof that the chemical-DDT,
and its couSins-can cause Seri-
Gus harm to wildlife. Because Of
this, they are concerned over
the growing role such chemi-
Gals are playing in the control
Of harmful pests.
Three species Of birds have
been used to test the chemicals,
bob-white quail, ring-necked
pheasants and mallard ducks.
Chemical Put I'm Feed
In doses approximating those
used in actual pest control,
some Of the birds have been fed
the chemicals in their feed.
Others have been placed in
chemically treated natural en-
vironments to observe what ef-
fects, If any, the chemicals
would have.
They got results.
Last month the fifth covey
Of bob-white quail. a bird in
digenous to the Washington
area, was introduced into a
natural environment treated
with an insect-killin chemical.
Since May four entire popula-
tons Of quail have persisted
in that same area. Scientists
do not hold much hope for
the latest test group.
In other tests, ring-necked
cock pheasants have been fed
varying doses of chemical in
feed.
Plumage Changed
These pheasants today barely
can be distinguished from the
hens that occupy the same
pens at the center. One cock
pheasant PAGES back and forth
without the familiar ring
around his neck and without
the vari-colored plumage which
identifies his sex.
The only male markings it
has are two red wattles on
either side Of its head.
The same is true of mallard
brakes that have eaten treated
feed. Ordinarily the drake

Check Shows
Charter Lost

An inspection of voting ma
chimes in Upper Marlboro to-
day verified that a proposal to
draft a home rule charter for
Prince Georges County was de-
feated in Tuesdays election.
Charter picked up an addi-
tional 9 votes when a discrep-
ency was found between the
figure on one machine and the
figures total on the election
boards tally sheet. But when
the tally sheets were balanced
against the machine totals,
representatives of both sides
said they were satisfied that
the charter question had lost
by 3l1 votes.
Representatives of the Prof.
ect Marlboro Home Rule
Charter Committee, the anti
charter committee for repre-
sentative government and the
Board of Election Supervisors
were divided into four teams
to check the 289 voting ma
chimes in a warehouse next to
the courthouse. County police
had kept a 24-hour watch over
the machines since the election.
Charter advocates said after
the election that they would
not demand a recount, but
would continue with prepara-
tons for a new charter move
ment two years hence.

yesterday it was not only very

Mr.. Dempsey said he is "anx-

shy away from a McKeldin pri-

Mr.. Dempsey, former collec-

served as campaign manager
for Frank Small, jr., losing
