Shade Trees To Get Aerial Attack ....

So serious is the disease that
once it has been positively l.
Identified by the examination of
culture specimen, the state
can require the owner of the
tree to cut 1t down and de-
stroy It.
Both professors agreed that
DDT is the most effective Of
the sprays used to control the
disease, but its use has been
abandoned by the university be-
cause 1t also kills birds fused
In TOO heavy a concentration.
In recent years, under Exley's
direction, university mainten-
ance men have used hydrau-
lie sprayer and methoxychlor,
one of the least toxic insec-
ucides TO birds and mammals.
Where once there was the n-
pleasant choice of injuring birds
or losing elms, the more re-
cent program combining the use
of a slightly less effective
chemical and prompt removal
of diseased elms has greatly
increased the welfare of both.
1t is also believed that the
preservation of the university's
elms is likely to succeed be-
cause of the low population of
native elms within the state.
This factor minimiZes the
threat of disease from trees
beyond the campus area. Since
diseased trees on the campus
are Immediately replaced with
new elms, a distinguishing fea :
rure of Delaware's maintenance
program, the university campus
may eventually be one of the
few places in the US. where a
good stand of elms maybe seen.
The theory for the success
of helicopter spraying is that
directing the spray from above
on the tops of the trees where
the beetles generally feed will
be more effective than spray
ing from the ground level. DR..
Voss, an experienced insect and
plant disease control special
ist, who has sprayed crops,
forests and areas bordering u
tility lines, concurs with the
university experts on this ap-
proach.
Developments at several uni =
versities and experiment sta =
tons offer encouragement for
the future. Excellent results
In the preservation of Ameri-
can elms through spraying have
been achieved on the University
of Massachusetts campus at
Amherst under the direction
of DR.. Malcolm Mckenzie.

Concern for the preservation
of the more than 100 stately
American elm trees which line
the university campus and for
other fine old trees of this
species In the Newark area
has prompted the previously
untested method of spraying
In Delaware from the air ra-
ther than from the ground.

Infected trees must immed-

Noise & Effects
Great Concern
Of DAFB

Noise and its effects on hu-
mans is the concern of an or
ganiZatton at Dover Air Force
Base but it's only worried a
bout airmen--not civilians.
It's not selfishness. It's Just
that there is no trouble with
civilian complaints about noise
anymore, said base spokes-
man.
The outfit dealing with noise
is called the Military Public
Health and Occupation Medi-
cine Service and is connected
with the base hospital.
Under the command of 1t.
H. James Davitt, the group tests
locations on the base to de-
termine where too much noise
may be harmful to base per-
sonnel.
Noise is a hazard and not a
joke to the Air Force, which
spends a lot of money and has
set up procedures to protect its
men from effects of noise.
The group is mainly con-
cerned with base noise among
other duties. The roaring trans
port planes and screaming jets
bother civilians but their noise
can mean bad health to an air
man.
"There used to be lot of
complaints" said a base off,
cial. "But when people real
lied the planes were around to
protect the country they fell
off,"
"The only problem we have
is sonic booms," he added.
On base, however, the prob
lem can be so acute it could
ruin ears and send men TO hos
pitals. According to 1t. Davitt
the noisiest places on base are
engine test stands--for both
propeller driver and jet planes
flight lines and the sheetme-
tai shop.
Appropriately enough the
base hospital is probably the
quietest place on base. said Lit.
Davitt. -
The sound measurement crew
rates any noise near $50 de-
cibles as dangerous to the ear.
At l20 there is discomfort,
at l35 there is nausea and loss
of balance and at $50 sound is
felt In the whole body.
Sound levels on base range
from 90 to l30 decibels, said
1t. Davitt. But the time of ex-
poSure is important. A nigh
noise level can be sustained if
it is not for too long.
The section undertakes sound
surveys and high sound areas
are recommended for sound
proofing. In addition persons
working in noisy areas are Civ
en- audio examinations.
Persons having trouble are
moved to quieter working ar
cas-. Patients are sent to Wal
ter Reed Hospital, Washington,
or the Philadelphia Naval Hos
Ipital.
Ea4 protection for airmen

wolves plastic plugs in parkas
or hoods and ear muffs. They

U.S.. Investors Reported
Stunning Latin America

dorsed the report he submitted
last week end, and the other
three disagree only on limited
points,
The Alliance aimed last year
for investment of $500 million
of private capital in Latin
America. Mr.. Grace said. He
estimated that there was a net
outflow of $l8 million.
Investors are afraid Of los
ing their capital through ex-
preparation of property and
devaluation of currencieS, Mr..
Grace said, adding that the
Castro regime in Cuba has ag-
gravated the buSinesSman's
fear of communism in Latin
America.
Even with risks so great, Mr..
Grace said, Latin America
could attract capital If the
potential returns we're high

and expanded in Europe and
the United States.
Mr.. Grace said 1t would be
fruitleSs to argue about wheth-
er private investment or Gov
eminent aid is more important
to the success of the Alliance,
since both are needed.
But he added his personal
opinion that United States for
eign aid generally relies too
much on Government-to- Gov
eminent transactions rather
than channeling aid through
businessmen, labor unions and
other private institutions.
The New York Times had
published a story to the effect
that the report by Mr.. Grace's
advisory committee was not
supported by a majority of the
panel Of businessmen. The
story said some Of the members
objected to the reports en-
phaSis on private capital.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-10

enough. But. he said, the
average return on capital last
year averaged only about 8
per cent.
He estimated that a return
Of at least Is per cent is
needed to draw capital to Latin
America, and said recon-
mendations for special in
centives in his report would
help achieve that goal.
q One of these proposals would
Subsidize United States invest
ment in Latin America through
a tax credit. Another proposal
would allow United States in
veStors to deduct from taxable
income their losses through cur
rency devaluation In Latin
America.

has vast interests in Latin
America, lately has stabilized

Politics at Governors Meeting

given Of q group Of politicians
playing the usual game.
Somehow the assumption is
that he who makes head
lines becomes a more notable
figure back home. But In
these days when politics
supercedeg everything - in
Guiding fidelity to the public
interest--the strategy seems
to be to get the kind Of pub
licity that will appeal to
certain voter groups engaged
in q dramatic controversy In
national affairs. AS for the
difficult and challenging is
sues of State government,
they are given only cursory
attention.
The maneuvers Of politics
are, Of course, the same in
the national Government,
too, so the Governors per-
haps feel they are merely
following the lead Of the top
men in Washington.
Abraham Lincoln's adage
that you can fool all of the
people some Of the time and
some Of the people all Of the
time, but not all Of the peo-
pie all Of the time, affords
some hope, but is hardly q
satisfactory answer to the
dilemma. For, In the mean
time, an indifferent cleo
torate tolerates the wasteful
practices Of politics and
doesn't insist on efficiency
and fairness in the handling
of Government affairs, not
the least of which is finan-
cial. State governments to-
day are spending more, tax
ing more. and wasting more
money than at any other
time in American history.
BY achieving some progress
and reforms in these fields
alone. the Governors con-
ference at Miami could have
served a constructive pur-
pose.

Republican right wing are
moving up.
While Republicans were
putting the excitement and
ferment into the conference,
Democrats were operating in
a fog Of confusion without
leadership or any idea Of
what their President ex-
pected of them.
One freshman Democratic
Governor, having sought
vainly for light and leading,
finally called the President
in Washington. 1t must have
come as something Of a Jolt
amid the test ban CONVERSE
tons in which the White
House was then absorbed.
Anyway, Mr.. Kennedy sug-
geSted that possibly the best
thing to do was to hunt UP
that Shrewd veteran of so
many De ocratic wars,
former Mayor and Governor,
David Lawrence of Pennsyl-
vania, who was here to adj
dress the conference on vari-
Gus Kennedy legislative pro-
poSals. 4
Mr.. Lawrence, Of course,
recognized that a vacuum
seemingly existed and sug-
geSted an informal caucus.
1t was out of this meeting,
substantially but not COM
pletely attended by the con-
ference majority, that the
proposal to abolish the reso-
lutions committee came. Gov.
Grant Sawyer of Nevada
sponsored it, and the. word
was passed that this was the
escape hatch from the
Rockefeller dilemma.
Like legislation enacted on
the floor of the Congress to
meet a confused situation,

Gals closed the registration

The Justice Department has
brought suit to reopen the

Act Of 1857.
A national shift to the
tactic Of securing registra-
tons for the 1854 election is
of prime Importance to
President Kennedy. If the
demonstrations continue to
the point of becoming a
widespread irritant, the
prospects FOR his legislation
will decline and his espousal
of the Negro cause will be-
come a liability in the North
as we'll as the South.
A voting campaign, on the
other hand, will increase the
dignity of the Negro effort
and the leverage which they
can exert upon members Of
Congress and other officials.
Under the 1857 Act, the
President can stand force
fully behind their right to
vote. The Justice Depart
ment has brought voting
suits in "A counties since

To Recognize Beginning of Cold War

Highly advertised. If not
high hopes, have gone with
Averell Hartman to Moscow.
They are hopes for an ending
to the cold war with the
Soviet Union, In fact If not
in spirit, by agreement to
cease nuclear testing. Premier
Khrushchev cannot control
the Chinese in this or any
other realm and Mr.. Harri-
man cannot control the
French. But each man Is in
remarkable control of him
self. and 1t should be an
interesting exercise for this
reason II no other.
AS one American aInbas-
sador said to this writer, IF
the Russians are going TO
have Averell leaning on them
all summer, God help them!"
No Soviet negotiator is
likely to out-wait or out
stare the former New York
Governor. whose nature was
clearly designed for private
diplomacy, never for public
politics. This Sinewy, some
what humorless American
possesses that rare combina-
ton. phlegmatic doggedness
along with highly sensitive
antennae. And should he
come home with an agree
ment which many would take
as the symbolic ending Of the
cold war, there would be a
certain historic aptness in
the phenomenon.
II was Mr.. Hartman In
l945 who was among the first
Americans - II not. indeed,
the first-to understand abb
solutely that a cold war was
on and what 1t would mean
for this generation. At every
point where our people were
negotiating with Russians, at
the end Of the war. a plate
glass window suddenly came
down between us and them.
We could see them; we could
not reach them. One night
Mr.. Hartman walked out Of
the opera In Moscow and un-
expectedly found himself be-
side Maxim Litvinov, then al
