Evidence, however, indicates the danger of toxicity to animals has been overplayed. For instance, in Missouri last summer, a cow drank half a tubful of DDT bam spray while the farmer was tinkering with his sprayer and getting ready to spray his bam. The cow suffered no bad effects. At West Virginia university last year the dairy department threw caution to the wind and put 32 pounds of 50 per cent DDT powder in 100 gallons of water — then sprayed cows with it. That figures out about 16 per cent for DDT. Most recommendations to date have been under 1 per cent for DDT water sprays on animals. “There were absolutely no harmful results’’ the head of the dairy department re ported. The DDT controlled flies, too. The spray was put on in May, and there were no flies on the cows until the qjiddle of August. Dehoming Instruments Spread Common Disease A cattle disease known as ana- plasmosis has gained a serious foot hold in the United States and is more prevalent than most folks realize. It is a febrile, in fectious, protozoan disease that may be chronic or acute. It attacks older ani mals mostly. Aver- age mortality ranges from 30 to 50 per cent of ani mals affected. Clinical symptoms are similar to tick fever. Treatment is still in the experi mental stage. The disease probably is spread by insect bites. Many cases coming to the attention of bu reau of animal industry investiga tors have followed mechanical de horning when too little or no atten tion had been given to disinfecting instruments. If calves have horn buttons re moved when young, by means of chemical dehorning fluid, the dan ger of spreading the disease by de horning tools is eliminated. U. N. Delegates Convene At Town Hall of the World Baukhage This Land of Ours Must Now Be Saved One of the greatest costs of the war, to America, was the depletion of her soil. Demands for increased production, forcing of land without returning necessary food, shortage of fertilizer and the lack of labor to properly plant soil protecting crops has resulted in erosion and barren soil in hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—At the opening of the current session of the United Nations general assembly I made the usual rounds greeting friends from far corners of the earth whom these meetings bring together. Two converged upon me and one of them began to discourse on the fact that we three were be coming conference veterans. He started to say “. . . . let’s see how many is it, there was the first Quebec, then the second Quebec. ...” But the other man interrupted him and remarked gently: “Oh, no, it goes further back than that. This is my forty-fourth. Remember there was a League of Nations, too?” The younger man stopped. Of ^ course, his gray haired colleague was right. "And you still believe,” the younger man asked earnestly, "that some day they’ll work?” “Certainly,” was the reply. And it was made with such simple sincer ity that we "youngsters” felt a little reproved. The next day 1 walked to a rail way station across the beautiful Flushing Mead ows in the twi light, the scent of new-mown grass all about us, with one of those prod igies, an “instant translator.” She was one of the fe male of the spe cies who are quite as efficient as the males. But it was not her feminine charm which attracted me, if such were to be discovered. I tried to ask her a little about her work, my first question being: "Isn’t it interesting?” "Interesting? Oh, for a while,” she answered, “but one would like to get around a little more. I have been here since spring. I’d like to get back to the Orient and—other places.” I mentioned that we had had simultaneous translation at Nuernberg. “Oh, 1 was there,” she said, “and always cold. One could never get warm, any where.” I agreed. “And,” she added, “I went there direct from India.” I tried to get some observation from her on the idea behind these conferences and their effort to bring about world understanding and world peace. “Do you think that they are worthwhile?” I asked. (We’re always asking that, hope fully if a little wistfully.) “Oh, yes,” she replied quickly, they are much better than none at all, much. But I feel that the men here do not really wish to make sacrifices to have peace. The men in their own governments do not wish them to make enough conces sions to rob the officials in the dif ferent governments of their own power. And so the beautiful words they use are only rationalization. They express idealistic thoughts, but when it comes to acting to imple ment them, they do not wish to go that far. They already have satis fied that feeling they know they should have, to do the right thing. Then they do not have to do it. Just as all of us rationalize our own mis conduct.” That gave me a pause. It also gave me some hope for this session for I believe that the powers of the assembly wHl be strengthened so that they can enforce what the people want. The fine words and idealistic plans will have more force if the permanent committee of the assembly on peace and security, which Secretary of State Mar shall proposed, is created. It will be in session all the time. Its voice, unmuffled by the over use of the stultifying veto, will be heard continuously; not merely when the assembly itself is in session. There is no word which properly translates “democracy” in Russian. When using the term the Russians merely give the English word its Russian form. But what a gulf be tween their meaning and ours. Lib erty of the individual is not implied at all in the Russian concept. Indeed, many people have said there is no real desire for liberty on the part of the mod ern Russian generation. And yet they constantly describe their conntry and their satellites as “democracies.” There was a good deal of elec tioneering before and during the close battle over the election for the presidency of the assembly. At first the American delegation had intend ed to vote for Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil. He is an old and staunch friend of the United States. But he felt that Brazil had had enough honors at the recent conference in Rio, that he had served one term before and that it would be best not to run. He said he didn’t want the job. So our delegates pledged for Evatt of Australia, who was exceed ingly anxious to be elected. But the Latin-Americans would have none of it They demanded Aranha run. The contest narrowed to him and Evatt. This put Russia on the spot. Latin- America wants to liberalize the veto, Evatt would tear it to pieces. And the veto is the Russian pet. But the United States was for Evatt so Russia voted for Aranha and he The Russian delegation went into a huddle on the floor. The Russian stooges had to be told just how to vote. And who should be the man who ran around, taking orders—or shall we say suggestions—from the Russian delegation to the various groups, Albania, Poland and the others under the Russian thumb? It was Sarge M. Koudtiavtsev, a member of the staff of advisors to the Russian delegation. That name didn’t mean much to me but I was reminded by Paul Ward of the Bal timore Sun, who always has a sharp eye out for such matters, that this active gentleman was the man named as the “architect” of the Russian spy system, in the report on the plot to obtain official secrets from the Canadian government. Two women are exceedingly popu lar at the assembly meetings and their popularity seems to grow. One is Mrs. Pandit Nehru, wife of the Indian leader, and one is Mrs. Elea nor Roosevelt. They are both active Word* Contain Great Significance Words still are making trouble, as they always have. It isn’t what we say so much as what people think we mean. For instance, there was a long discussion of the word “im pinge,” on the second day of the as sembly meeting. This was just the English meaning, discussed among English-speaking reporters. Secre tary Marshall had said this new per manent committee of the assembly would not “impinge” on the security counciL The great argument about the committee has been that it was intended to by-pass the security council itself, and thus duck the veto. If the English-speaking report ers weren’t quite sure how far yon go, or don’t go, when you “impinge,” it’s no wonder there was confusion when it was translated into half a dozen other languages. It was the translation of one word which nearly caused a revolution in Korea and made the work of the American commission there infi nitely more difficult. It also has af fected the whole course of action by the assembly on Korea. It was the word “trusteeship.” MRS. PANDIT NEHRU and intelligent. Mrs. Pandit (last names come first in India, as in many other countries) has been named ambassador to Russia by her new government. I couldn’t help thinking, consider ing the recent emancipation of wom en in India that Mrs. Pandit was more like Mrs. Roosevelt, than Mrs. Roosevelt herself, when you con sider the unconventionality of both judged by the standards of their respective older generations. FIGHTING POLIO FROM THE AIR ... If, as many medical research ers believe, flies are responsible for carrying polio, the practice of spraying fly-breeding areas from helicopters may become an important factor in preventing spread of the disease. Here, helicopter sprays DDT powder on dumps in Buffalo, N. ¥. NEWS REVIEW Conserve Food: Truman; U.N. Adopts Agenda FOOD PLANS: Conservation It wasn’t hard for President Tru man to figure out: Europe is in des perate need of food from the U. S.. but the U. S. will leave itself wide open for even greater price spiral ling if it boosts its exports much higher. The answer, he told a special press conference, is food conservation by all Americans. It is not a matter of eating any less, he said, but of wasting less. In line with that, he announced the setting up of a citizens food com mittee to develop a food conserva tion program in the nation. Charles Luckman of Cambridge, Mass., pres ident of Lever Brothers, was named president. Regarding Europe, Mr. Truman said the food and fuel situation there is too critical to allow time for de tailed study. Thus, apparently in an emergency frame of mind, the Presi dent called together congressional leaders to discuss possible steps that could be taken immediately to aid the starving continent. If possible, he said, he would not call a special session of congress if stop-gap aid for Europe could be pushed through without resort ing to that step. Americans could start preparing for a heavy barrage of food con servation propaganda. TOUGH AGENDA: No Dodging United Nations general assembly proved at least one thing in the first week of its current session—it isn’t going to dodge any issues. After riotous preliminary sessions in which they heard the U. S. and Russia flay each other verbally and U. N. Secretary General Trygve Lie call for an end to feuding, the dele gates voted doggedly to take on the entire list of tough, almost insoluble problems standing as a barrier to world accord. Among the items admitted to the agenda were the partition of Pales tine, peace in the Balkans, independ ence of Korea and Marshall’s pro posal to reorganize U. N. machinery to hold a tighter rein on the turbu lent peace. Soviet delegate Andrei Vishinsky’s resolution calling on member na tions to take criminal action against warmongering propagandists was whole-heartedly admitted to debate, probably because it will provide a chance to mull over the concept of freedom of the press.

ELEANOR: An Old Note “Dear Sumner — This Eisler case seems a hard nut to crack. What do you suggest? Sincerely, E. R.” That, Sumner Welles, former un dersecretary of state, told the house committee on un-American activi ties, was a note he received from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in 1939 when the then first lady was interested In obtaining an open hearing on the passport application of one Hanns Eisler, Austrian refugee from Hit ler. The note, an almost forgotten me mento of the prewar era, was hailed resoundingly in newspapers across the land because Hanns Eisler was Mrs. Roosevelt Hanns Eisler accused of being a Communist. He is the brother of Gerhart Eisler, No. 1 agent of the Kremlin in the U. S. Eisler and his wife finally were issued visas in Mexico City to cover their entrance into this country. He has taken out naturalization papers and is a song-writer in Hollywood. In 1926, Eisler told the committee, he had applied for membership in the German Communist party, but had dropped out. A department of labor report made in 1938 said of him: “The evidence establishes pre ponderantly that Hanns Eisler is a Communist.” Mrs. Roosevelt’s attitude toward the affair was lackadaisical. The note to Welles on behalf of Eisler was strictl? routine, she said, add ing that she neither knew Eisler nor remembered the note. SIX BILLION A YEAR Farm Co-ops Do Huse Trade It volume of trade is any indica tion, America’s farm cooperatives are establishing themselves ever more firmly as a significant force in the realm of agriculture. In the 1945-46 marketing year, farm cooperatives, with more than five million individual farmers par ticipating, did a record six billion dollar business, according to an estimate by the farm credit admi nistration of the department of agri culture. (The FCA report came at a time when a house small business sub committee was investigating any possible advantages the co-ops might have over other business because •f the fact that they are tax-exempt and private enterprises are not.) Leading in dollar volume of trade were some 2,256 grain cooperatives which handled 1.45 billion dollars worth of business during the year cohered by the report. Dairy mar keting associations previously were the leading organizations in the co op field. The record business of all types represents a 400-million-dollar In crease above the cooperative vol ume in the 1944-45 marketing year, FCA reported. It was emphasized, however, that “part of this increase is undoubtedly due to the rise in prices of products farmers sell and of supplies that farmers buy.” Minnesota again led all states in the number of farm cooperatives, 1,352 of them reporting member ships totalling 506,000 farmers. Illi nois was second in membership with 485,000, while Wisconsin was second in the number of associa tions with 1,002, most of them dairy groups. In dollar volume, the huge Cali fornia cooperatives led the field with 652 million dollars, while Min nesota was second with 477 million dollars. Grains, dry beans and rice mar keting cooperatives accounted for 2,256 associations, 536,000 members ( and 1.49 billions in dollar volume to take first place for the year among commodity groupings. Refugee Girls Find Happiness in Canada Many of Them Are Employed In Rayon Spinning Mill. ST. GEORGES, QUE.—One hun dred European girls, who were transported from displaced persons camps in Germany to this little French-speaking town in Quebec, seem happy in their work in a ray on spinning mill here. Socially they stick pretty much to themselves. Reaction to importation of the girls, who began work at 25 cents an hour, has been heard in Canada and elsewhere. Some labor leaders criticized the organizer of the scheme, Ludger Dionne, owner of the spinning mill and liberal mem ber of parliament for Beauce, for the low wage being paid the girls. At the same time, criticism of the government, as having no uniform immigration policy, was heard. Dionne, however, has said that the girls—flown here from Frankfort at a cost of about $500 each—were be ing lodged and fed at an unusually low rate of $6 a week. The girls, who are under a not too rigid two- year contract recently received their first raise—to 30 cents an hour. All the girls are Roman Catholics and Polish except foi a few Yugo slavs, two Russians and a Lithu anian. A few speak good English, an additional few can make them selves understood, while two speak passable French. The language dif ficulty was seen as the major reason they mix little with the people of this town of 10,000, which is about 65 miles south of Quebec city. Anne Gaizutyte commented: “I have no time for boy friends. I like to stay home and read—I have so much to learn.” She is 22 and a former university chemistry student. The girls, although lacking in in dustrial experience, are found to be “good workers and quick to learn.” Dionne said they were not throwing other girls out of work—he could still take an additional 50 girls in his plant if he could get them. There has been no great comment from other employers. Although at first townsfolk weren’t too keen about arrival of the group. Mayor Kenneth Pozer of St. Georges West said: “The girls are received here sympathetically—just as well as any family. They are well liked.” Submarine Spots Flier, Saves Him After Crash NEW LONDON, CONN.—Ris ing to the surface as soon as its periscope had shown a pilot, who had dropped into the sea, the sub marine Finback rescued the flier and aided in the salvaging of his small plane. The pilot, Godfrey J. Lapalme, was picked up on Long Island sound, about 10 miles south of Saybrook, and transported to the submarine base here, where his condition was reported as good. The plane was hoisted aboard the auxiliary mine layer Spig, which had answered the subma rine’s radio giving the aircraft's position.

Federal Revenue Is Set , At 39 Billion Dollars WASHINGTON. — Complete data issued by the bureau of internal rev enue disclosed that federal revenues for the 1947 fiscal year ending last June 30 totaled $39,108,385,742. This was a drop of $1,563,711,256 from the $40,672,096,998 in the previ ous 12 months, principally reflecting repeal of the excess profits tax. Corporation income taxes collect ed for the 1947 fiscal period totaled $6,055,095,929, a rise of 30.5 per cent over the 1946 figure of $4,639,949*84. Excess profits collections, however, fell off more than 55 per cent from $7,913,617,921 in the 1946 fiscal year to $3,621,362,751 in the latest period. They’re Not Gold Bricks But They Bring $1 Each MARION, ALA.—Fire blackened bricks are selling for $1 each in Marion. Lightning caused a fire recently 1 which destroyed Jewitt hall on the campus of the Judso* Baptist Col lege for Girls here. The fire had no sooner cooled than alumnae of Judson were busy selling bricks from the razed building at $1 each. The money will go to replace the destroyed building. Judson girls throughout the South are purchas ing bricks. The bricks were hand molded in 1888 when another fire had destroyed the previous Jewitt hall. Many Jud son girls helped make the bricks.
