WASHINGTON (AP) The Pay Board may not find it as easy to reject a 15-per-cent guideline-shattering pay raise for strike-prone longshoremen as it did.

to a 12-per-cent raise for recession-plagued Dear Dr. Lamb What do you think of the increasingly popular "organic Can one be assured that they are grown without chemical fertilizers? Dear Reader Like many people from rural America, or almost anyone raised before World War II, I grew up on organic food. Every farm boy did. I've hauled manure, not in little pails but by the wagon-load. It was customary for people to grow all their own food and can it.

The cellar was the winter storehouse for what you raised in the summer. Like all small all-purpose farms even the livestock were fed on organic food crops raised the natural way. We even picked potato bugs off the vine by hand. So I am amused by the new fad of organic foods. I wish I could have shared some of that organic experience when I was a boy with some of today's enthusiasts.

I have also raised lots of food using chemical fertilizer. There is nothing wrong with it. Nitro gen is good for the soil that needs it, whether it comes in a bag or powdered form, in the manure wagon or is put in the soil by legumes (bean family), plants that take nitro gen from the air. Nitrogen, after all, is nitrogen. The same can be said about a lot of other chemicals used to build up the soil.

There is no doubt that good soil raises good plants. That is just common sense. Any good farmer can tell you that. That is part of what makes the difference in upland and bottomland. On the whole I think the organic food movement is a healthy one.

I am not confused by some of the unscientific claims sometimes made though and know that, as stated, nitrogen is nitrogen. In fact, some chemicals that are not found! 4i Organic movement By in manure are needed for par ticular soil problems. Although many people include the question of using insecticides in organic gardening as a purist on the use of the words, I object to that wording, whether insecticides are good or bad. I suspect that insecti cides do little harm if the food is properly washed and pre pared before use, although they can cause other problems in environment. The difference in the taste in a lot of "organic foods' is related to the difference in when the food is harvested.

I suspect that a lot of people don't know the difference between a water melon ripened on the vine and one shipped half green to the store: Most of the food in super markets is picked before it is ripened by nature. And that has very little to do with whether you hauled manure or fertilized by chemicals. Incidentally, as far as health goes, deposits "organic garden ing" which was all that was available a years back, all those people eating organic foods regularly got sick and had health problems not different from those that we contend with today. Only antibiotics weren't available in earlier days and a lot of other chemicals that have saved a lot of lives. I strongly support people rais ing their own food and think it is good clean fun.

It is a wonderful hobby. But as a scientist I'll have to stop there and realize that some enthusiasts are overselling the idea with wild, unscientific claims. Please send your questions and comments to Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D., in care of Reno Evening Gazette, P.O. Box 280, Reno, 89504.

While Dr. Lamb cannot answer individual letters, he will answer letters of general interest in future in a precautionary call from the Governor's Mansion to the Carson City Fire Department Sunday morning. "There was no flame, but I asked the department to send someone out to inspect, just to make sure," said Mrs. Carolyn O'Callaghan.

The board took what "at first appeared to be a tough stand, rejecting a 12-per-cent first-year raise for 100,000 workers at five aerospace firms.

But it then indicated it is ready to ap prove the full raise if part of it is deferred until the second year of the agreement. Both years would exceed the board's 5.5-per-cent guideline." Nevertheless, it was the first contract the board had refused to It previously had ap proved a 15-per-cent raise for coal miners, who had struck to get it, and the start of a 47-percent raise for rail signalmen, who had struck twice. No sooner had the board dis posed of the aerospace matter, which took three days of debate and kept the board from deciding any other matters, than the dock settlement popped up. The AFL-CIO International Longshoremen's Association tentatively agreed to a three- year pact calling for a 32.6-per cent raise for 45,000 dock work ers from Maine to Virginia. It presumably would serve as a pattern for ILA men in all East and Gulf Coast ports.

West Coast dock workers, represent ed by another union, already have rejected a settlement con taining an even bigger first-year raise. The ILA settlement calls for a 15.2-per-cent increase in the first year, which is all the Pay Board is likely to consider if it follows its habit of clearing contracts year by year. The first year raise amounts to 70 cents in the present hourly wage of $4.60.
