William E. Carroll, master

Potomac's hunting horses are
suffering from a wave of
coughing, which is similar to
human influenza.
The virus, which has swept

Columbia Plaza Corp. contract
ed in 1861 to pay the extra sum
privately in addition to thE
$5.481 1858 it agreed to pay RIA
for the land, the RIA board
was told.
The disclosure came as q
surprise to Neville Miller, RIA
board chairman, who indicated
the board did not know Of the
private contract.
A copy of a letter then was
presented indicating John r
Searles, jr., former RIA execu-
tive director, knew Of the ar

The significance of the land
price agreement is that it APP
pears to imply the land was
worth more to the corporation
than the price set by RIA
which is required to sell at the

RIA prices are set after the
agency obtains two appraisals
by Independent professional
appraisers.

accordance with an urban-re-
newal plan.

Corporation to cure" the de-
fault by purchasing the land.
The Columbia Plaza urban.
renewal project area is the only
one adopted by the Nationa
Capital Planning Commission

The
Rambler
-. Suys: Happy
Thanksgiving
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Last year on the last
Thursday Of November, this
column started with:
'sAs the President Ken
nedy) said in his press con-
ference, There is much for
which we can be grateful as
we look back 10 where we
stood only four weeks ago.
He was referring to the
Cuban crisis Of October.
1t seemed impossible to re-
capture that mood yesterday
until President Lyndon B.
johnson made his initial ad-
dress to the joint session of
Congress.
Again we have much to be
grateful for. We can be
grateful that John K. KEN
nedy chose his principal OPP
ponent al the Los Angeles
convention as his running
mate.
I witnessed the speech Just
as you did-on televiSion.
The Press G gallery of the
House is not the best place.
1t is right above the ros-
trum. If you are in the front
row and lean over you can
see the top Of the Presidents
head.
President Johnson did not
conceal his emotions.
No one who saw and heard
him could doubt the sincerity
of his opening:
"All I have I would have
given gladly not to be stand
ing here today"
This must be a muted holi-
day in this period of national
mourning.
Yet, despite the universal
sense of loss, we still have
much to be thankful for.
Last year 1t was the re-
moval of the threatening
missiles. This year it is the
test-ban treaty which,
Whatever else it means, is
going to stop our increasing
the contamination of the at
mosphere with cancer-caus-
ing strontium 80.
Yes, despite the silly has
sles on the autobahn, we
have much TO be thankful
for. No one has pressed the
button.
And we have the hot line.
Let's hope that is something
to be thankful for.
o.
AND WE CAN BE thankful
for little things. This recent
cold weather has chilled the
coastal waters and encour-
aged the oysters to grow fat
and tastier. Had some yester-
day on the half shell. Have
reasons to believe that
there'll be oyster stuffing in
the turkey.
We can be thankful for this
wonderful weather.
All Of us, especially those
who remember the depres-
sion, can be thankful for this
unprecedented long period of
postwar prosperity.
Traditionally Thanksgiv-
ing was a harvest festival.
Then came periods of so
much overproduction that
bumper crops added to sur
plus and storage problems.
Perhaps we can be thankful
that we've found foreign
markets for our wheat and
corn.
Millions of Americans will
be thankful for AT&TS stock
split and increased dividend.
Motorists land, aren't we
AHA can be grateful for the
new beltway, one of the
finest highways in the world.
Virginia's loop will be COM
pleted next month and
Maryland's next year.
There are so many things
in this modern world to be
thankful for: The Six-hour
jet flights to Europe which we
can't find time TO take even
when we have the money;
the machinery of the modern
home gas heating, air condi-
tioning, dishwashers, garbage
choppers, automatic laun-
dries. Do you use an electric
tooth brush? Will your.
Thanksgiving surgery be with
an electric carving knife?
AT LONG LAST, I must
confess that despite it's loud.

AT LONG LAST, I must
confess that despite it's loud,
hard-Sell commercials, its
hours Of phony emotional
ism, its waSteland as Newton
C. Minow called it, am
thankful for TV, which lets
US see what is happening as
no other generation could.
But these are material
benefits and considerations.
We are all hopeful that the
American spirit is not weak
ened by them-that it still
has the courage to risk all,
the generosity to give all.
Most of us, with the pic
ture in mind of that heroic
young woman and her two
wonderfully behaved little
children standing beside her
husbands bier, can be thank
full that recent tragedy has
not broken our families.
And all of US on this day
can be thankful that we are
alive; that to each of us is
given further opportunity to
make this a better world
even if only-strike the only
i'm our little orbit, if only
there it is again-in the
words of the old Homer

Cotton Insect Situation:
Bollworm eggs and small
bollwoms are being found in
all cotton fields over the
country as of Monday morn
ing, July %. ]. have done my
very. level best to get word
to most farmers by personal
contact and over. the radio. If
you have not poisoned for
bollWorms this week it is ne
cessry that you do SO this
week and next week While.
you are poisoning for boil
worms you should also in
clude an insecticide in with
your bollworm insecticide to
kill the boil Weevils as. I have
found a few live boil weevils
this week, the first | have
found since early spring.
There are a number of in
secticides that will kill your
bollwcrms if you can keep it
on your cotton long enough
before rain occurs. Your boil
worm insecticides are: endrin,
SEWN, DOT and toxaphene. II
using endrin be sure and use
q full dose which is three
tenths of a pound of the &C
tive poison. Use at least one
pound or more of DOT per
acre and two and one-half to
three pounds of toxaphene
per acre.
If you are using SEWN wet
table powder use one and
one-half to two pounds per
acre. If you can keep your in
secticide on your cotton plants
this week and next week /
believe that this will get you
Through this bollworm cycle
that we are now having and
it is possible that our cotton
will be made and matured be-
fore another bollworm seige
occurs. I still do not believe
that boil weevils are going
to be a serious problem this
year, at least not until the
latter part of August.
