DMocraf Is Hired To Help Toll Road Ex-State Senator On Speech Circuit INDIANAPOLIS (IN8) — The Indiana toll road commission today hired a former Democratic state senate to help break resistance to the group's multi-million dollar building program. Former State Sen. Ralph R. Ferguson, of Anderson, who eb-auth-ored the toll road law in the 1951 geneiral assembly with Republican Sen. Wesley Malone, Os Clinton, was named to the job. Although he technically will assist Farwell C. Rhodes, Jr., the commission’s 312,000-a-year publicity director, Ferguson's primary job will be a -banquet circuit speech-making operation. Presumably. Ferguson will relieve executive director Albert J.: Wedeking, who gets 125,000 * year, and chief engineer Herman D. Hartman, who geta 112,000 a year, of the speaking chorea to which they have taken in the last few months. " Ferguson, whose salary has not been set. said: “The need for additional and more adequate road facilities in this state must be met immediately and I sincerely hMieve that toll’ roadrf can Jemit tial solution To This problem. I am sure there is no serious disagreement between our major political parties on the need for better roads immediately.’’ ' * It is expected that Fenguson's major goal will be preparing public sentiment in favpr of xhp cqumiaslon In time.for the general Mwmbiy. .\

*y— **’—■* t McCarthy's Group To Retain LaVenia Despite Refusal Os Security Clearance WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.), said today he will retuse to ask the Penagon to giye security clearance to •any future employes of his senate InvesttgaUons subcommittee. He said’ he decided several months ago that it would be "yidlcmlqus to ask them to clear someone who is investigating them." McCarthy's group Agreed Friday to keep investigator Thomas W. LaVenia on its staff despite the defense department’s refusal to grant him security clearance or tell why. ' • ' Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mlch.), said that LaVenia. "is not to handle classified documents” for the subcommittee unless he eventually is cleared. But Potter added: “We should know the charges—l will not subscribe to the theory of guilt by association.*’ Potte/ said that LaVenia received clearance when, be Vas ent* ployed by the office of price stabilization. The senator declared: “Presumably that was based on the same information that is now available. The OPS cleared him and the defense department didn't." Potter said he was impressed by the fact np effort was made to revoke the naval reserve commission LaVenia held. He said this would have been done had the man been a real security risk. LaVeaia testified under oath before McCarthy’s unit Friday after defense department general counsel Wilber M. Brucker refused to back down or explain the clearance denial. Brucker said his refusal to explain was based on a justice department directive. However, ha told newsmen: “In my opinion, the file does contain information on the basis of which security clearance should not be granted." McCarthy, who described'this as “completely unfair to Tom,” announced that a transcript of La« Venia’s testimony would be sent to the justice and defense departments so they could say, if they wanted to, If LaVenia ommitted anything. Unless anything significant develops, McCarthy said, LaVenia will remain on the subcommittee payroll. Predicts Senate To

Vdle On Farm Bill Kerr Predicts Vote Before Adjournment WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Robert. < Kerr (D-Okja) predicts the senate will vote pn. farm legislation befbre adjournment despite forecasts that such action will ba blocked. ■ . -.' . . . >. '. Kerr, one of agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Beneon’e most severe congressional critics, says he expects the senate to overcome its current deaaJock. and to vote du the pending farm bill. The senator adds; however, be doe* not expect congress to. get away from Washington before Auguef 15. despite an official target date of July 31. u. The ‘Mill now pending would extend price supports on. wheat, cotton, corn, peanut* and rice tor one more year, and would raise dairy supports from 75 to 85 percent of parity. Separate legislation already stipulates that tobacco supports will continue at 90 percent of parity as tong as farmers obey production controls. A bill approved in the house would set supports on the five baaice on a flexible scale between 82 end one-has and 90 percent of parity and raise dairy supports ony five percent instead of 10 per cent as planned by the senate agriculture committee. Chairman George Aiken (R-Vt.) of the senate agriculture committee, has submitted to the senate a minority report calling for supporta to vary between 80 and 90 percent of parity. He was joined by seven other senators —including former Democratic agriculture secretary Clinton Anderson of New Mexico—tn this report, while eight members of Ms committee joined In the majority report calling (or continued 90 percent supports. Should the senate accept either of ° these plans, farm legislation will have to go to a joint senate house conference committee, which will mean further delay in action.

To Control Pests Grasshoppere < are a problem again in Adame county, and. many fanners are reporting considerable number of immature hoppers migrating from fence rows and meadows into corn, soy heaps, and tomatoes. ' --* - - 3 Grasshoppers may be controlled by spraying, dusting, or baiting with either toxaphene, ehlorodane, or aldrin. These chemical® not only kill the insects, but provide lasting protection for periods qp to three weeks. The number of insects killed is dependent upon, the amount of chemical used per acre, notupon the amount of water used with it. Any one of the following sprays will kill grasshoppers. Mix with enough water for acreage to be sprayer, from 5 to 10 gallon® of water per acre depending upon the sprayer. Uae duta without further dilutions. 25% emulsion concentrate: 3qts. toxaphene, 2 qta. ehlorodane, qt. aldfln. , t.: . 40-45% emulsion concentrate: 3 pts. toxaphene, 1 qt. ehlorodane. 60-55% emutafan concentrate: 1 qt. toxaphene, 1% pts. ehlorodane. 70-75% emulsion concentrate: Itt pts. toxaphene, 1 pt. chlorodane. 25% wettable powder: 6 R>«. toxaphene, 4 lbs. ehlorodane, % lb. aldrin. ♦O% wettable powder: 3% lbs. toxaphene, 2% tbs. ehlorodane. 50% wettable powder: 3 lbs. toxaphene. 2 lbs. ehlorodane. 2.5% dust: 10 tbs. aldrin, 5% dust: 45 lbs. toxaphene, 30 lbs. ehlorodane. 10% duet: 22.5 lbs. toxaphene, 15 lbs. ehlorodane. These dilutions may be decreased by 50% if made early in the summer when the hoppers are immature and wingless. The formulas above are correct for the present time, but later, when the insects mature with wings the dilutions should be increased 50%, Early spraying is cheapest, and most effective. Plowing in the fall, winter, and early spring will destroy grasshopper eggs. None of the above poisons should be used on pastures, or forage food® for dairy cattle or livestock, or for foods intended for human consumption, a® they have residual effects and could result In human poisoning. Toxaphene, ehlorodane, and aldrin are all secreted in milk and fatty tissues of livestock. _ Where ft is impossible to use a .Mtray, ‘aj ta, tomato Helds, poisoned bran bait may be used to kill grasshoppers. Mix 1 pound of actual toxaphene, or H pound of actual ehlorodane, or two ounces of actual aldrin, or 6 pounds of cryolite with one hundred pounds of bran. Pour 2 gallons of water over the poisoned bran, and Add water to make the bran damp but not soppy. Broadcast the bast over infested fields early ip the mornings At the rate of 20 pounds per acre. Further information on grasshopper spraying, or specific information ,for a certain crop may ba obtained from county agent L. E. Archbold.
