New Insect Weapon For Americans who have been worried about the poisons being sprayed upon foods and lands, and waters of the an announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture will be welcome news. The USD A reports that scientists at the New Haven, experiment station of the S. Forest Service are developing a new biological weapon that such pests as gypsy moths, forest tent caterpillars and inch The new weapon is undergoing final field tests as a substitute for DDT. It is called bacillus thuringiensis and is said to be similar in action to the milky spore disease that has proved successful in controlling Japanese beetles.

Unlike chemical poisons that may get into food of a i rn a I birds and humans, the new biological (4 weapon is declared harmless to all but the special insects it seeks to control. This particular control-weapon is effective only against leaf-eatmg insects, but biologists contend that similar weapons can be found for many other insects and pests. Research also is going forward on polyhedral virus diseases which are common only to insects and sometimes spontaneously reach epidemic proportions. Researchers have used some of these viruses to control insect pests and have used gamma to sterilize certain male insects. Further development can be expected in these.

Now the biologists should redouble their efforts to find biological weapons to use against mosquitoes, aphids, leaf miners and other pests that attack trees and other vegetation. The Circleville Herald, Sat. April 27, 1963 Onto LAFF-A-DAY No Changes Made To an eight-year state sentence imposed earlier on Billie Sol Estes has been added a 15-vear federal prison term. Estes had arranged with farmers for $24 million in mortgages on non-existent fertilizer tanks and then sold them to finance companies. The sentencing judge described this operation as of the most gigantic swindles in the history of our The interest in the Estes case will not end when and if.

after the usual appeals, he goes to prison. Estes had extracted $7 million from the government for the storage of surplus grains and he had engaged in vast speculations in cotton planting allotments. Congressional investigation of the Estes case produced scandalous testimony of the speculation and cupidity encouraged by present farm price support laws, and also of waste, inefficiency and injustice in their administration. Committee Chairman McClellan said the Agriculture Department had become and that there was a need to correct lack of direction and discipline in the agency. Somehow congressional investigation has faded out.

Beyond the dismissal of a few minor officials in the department and the defeat at the polls of two congressmen mentioned in investigation of the Estes machinations, the probe has accomplished nothing. The laws that impose $1 billion in annual grain storage charges on the American taxpayers are unchanged and surpluses are mounting.

In Brazil, the Rockefeller company started out with a grandiose idea that it might make money by organizing a helicoper company for large scale dusting of crops.

After noice, The luxury of sleep is so described by the poet Roden Noel.

Sleep peaceful sleep is one of the remarkable wisdoms of the body, It returns man to wakefulness with rf newed vigor and re- stored energy. Sleep is an essential ingredient of good health. On it, depends man efficiency in work and his I capacity to enjoy his leisure. During sleep all the body activities are slowed down. The heart rests by beating fewer times a minute.

The lungs rest by slowed respiration. The blood pressure falls gently and the body temperature becomes slightly lowered. All the vital organs relax and the body starts to store energy for another day's activity. The emotional pressures must diminish, too, if sleep is to prepare us adequately for living. Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep and stay asleep long enough to satisfy the body requirements While eight hours is considered the normal amount of sleep required nightly for adults, this figure may vary considerably according to individual needs.

Age. climate and occupation will affect the need for sleep. Th are some people who feel retresh-1 ed after five sleep. Others! cannot function with less than nine hours of good sound sleep Women are said to require more sleep than men. It is a paradox that they are rarely privileged to got it.

Children and extra chores make extra sleep an unlikely indulgence' Insomnia is not in itself a di- I sease. tt is a symptom: a pattern related in limitless ways to man daily activities in this turbulent world filled with many anxieties, insomnia seems to be more the rule than the rarity. Physical or emotional upset will mean loss of sleep. Then the cycle starts. Loss of sleep means work met ficiency.

Concern over this leads to more emotional tension which is only heightened by the fear of not being able to fall asleep. Then follows another night of insomnia. Before long, insomnia becomes part of a pattern The cycle must be broken if healthful sleep is to be restored and maintained. If emotional conflict and stress are the causes of insomnia, ii issues must be faced squarely and guidance sought. Frank dis- clition with a professionally trained person can liberate many of the emotional conflicts that cause insomnia.

Counting sheep may work for some people but don't min: on it There are some things that you can do to help break the no-sleep pattern. Sleep must be prepared for by taking the loot of! tile accelerator for at least an hour before bedtime. A gentle transition from full activity is important This hour should be relaxed and free of tension. Then a tepid bath a comfortable bed in a quiet room, a soothing warm drink. Many people find that by listening to a program of subdued music they are able to be diverted from the usual irritating review of problems and decisions that makes sleep impossible.

If your doctor prescribes a sleeping pill or a tranquilizer occasionally. it is not a sign of weakness to take it nor is it a i of strength to refuse it. Under his guidance, these may well-re-establish a healthy pattern of rest sleep. WASHINGTON AP Kennedy doesn't seem to know how to get Fidel Castro and the Soviet troops out of Cuba, without risking war with Russia. His Republican critics boldly challenge him to do more.

But, when their ideas are examined, they turn out to be a lot less bold than they may sound. They have proposed either halfway measures or hedged when they tried to sound most vigorous, At his news conference this week Kennedy asked his critics to say whether they want to go to war to get rid of Castro. If not, he asked them to say precisely what their solutions are. Republican Sen Barry Coldwater of Arizona, one of the most consistent demanders of action, said he is not afraid to go to war over Cuba but he is not advocating an early invasion of the island. He explain how Cuban communism could be demolished without an invasion Nevertheless, he said: we are not willing to risks we might as well give up Republicans have not advocated invasion ol Cuba Neither they shrunk because of fear from the possibility of this What does this mean" It might be considered an attitude toward the danger of war.

But it is neither a solution nor an answer to Kennedy's question. Kennedy himself was less than precise in taking a dig at former President senhor cr for not get ting rid of Castro while he was in the White House Kennedy said. would have been easier to take action then than it is now. But who were in position' of responsibility did not make that Was he suggesting Eisenhower should have ordered an American invasion before the Russians moved into Cuba? lf so. he had a similar chance but take it.

Sen Thruston Morton, pointed out that all Kennedy did was finish what Eisenhower was prepar.ng to do: An invasion by Cuban exiles but not by Americans. The invasion, backed by Kennedy, fell on its face.

And New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, w'ho has concentrated most of his criticism of Kennedy administration on its domestic policies, took a swipe at Cuban policy without offering real solutions of his own.

He came pretty close to calling the President an appeaser. This was when he said he couldn't understand why this country supports freedom fighters in Viet Nam but holds them back from Cuba. Asked if he was charging the administration with an appeasement course, the governor said; it hard to sop what other reason there would be. in vcw of our past policy You're Telling Me!
