Destructive Loss On Farms Is Cited Underscores Need Os Chemical Help WASHINGTON (IN&) — A top agriculture department official says farmers look to the chemical industry for ways and means to stop an annual estimated loss of over 13 billion dollars caused by weeds, diseases and insects. Under secretary of agriculture True D. Morse underscored the need in an address to- industry leaders attending the national agricultural chemicals association meeting at St. Louis. Morse didn’t say so. but the losses he cited —based on current farm prices—exceed by more than a billion dollars the 12 billion dollars which the department calculates farmers received as net income In 1954. The under secretary went into considerable detail on the destruction wrought by various enemies of the farmer. Hundreds of aggressive weeds, he said, compete with crops and reduce their values by more than two billion dollars a year. He added that some 700 major insect pests take an annual toll of approximately the same amount, not to mention •a-ml ♦*> —---4 fungi and many kinds of bacteria and viruses that attack piauLS or animals. Morse placed the annual production loss in field crops from all causes at about eight billion, 300 million dollars —or roughly 20 percent of the production potential. He said losses of farm animals and animal products account for another two and one-half billions annually. • " . / Summing up, the official calculated that damage done to crops, pastures, ranges, livestock and livestock products each year soars above 13 billions. He added: “We look to the chemical industry for the methods and products that will help reduce these huge losses. It is a 13 billion dollar order." . . ....

Geneva Teacher Is Given Certificate Merit Certificate To Vern Huffman Vern Huffman, teacher of industrial arts in the Geneva school, was awarded the certificate of merit for outstanding work in Industrial arts. Announcement of the award came from Gail Grabill. county superintendent of schools. The award is made annually by the Indiana industrial education association to a teacher representing a one-man department in schools of the eastern section of the state. This is the second consecutive year in which an Adams county teacher has received the award. Doyle Collier, Adams Central school, received it last year. Thjs award is based upon the ability of the individual to dis-tinguf^k-himself in the field of teaching, cooperation With ’’school administration and the public, development of a course of study and integration of his program to meet the needs of the community. Huffman win officially receive j the certificate during a program at Purdue university March 19. CLAIMS LIKELY (Continued from Page One) rather than FBI sometimes does the spade work for a “Q clearance" came from assistant attorney general William F. Tompkins. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) termed this fact ‘‘most extraordinary.” He asked Tompkins, the justice department's internal security chief, to go back to his office and find out if civil service in the course of’ its probe does not hsk the FBI for a full field investigation of the person. Tompkins said he would do this. Humphrey drew from Tompkins’ testimony that security regular tions have piled up one on top of the other over the years without review of what had gone before. The senator suggested that a consolidation of all the laws and regulations is in order.

Inspect Tract Os Land For Airport Mayor John Doan, Lester Pettibone. superintendent of the city light and power plant, and M. J. Pryor, president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, will inspect the tract of land east of Decatur on 1 which Miss Josephine Ivetich plans to erect a new airport, Mayor Doan stated today. Miss Ivetich purchased the land several months ago from Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Holthouse and plans call for the erection of a new landing field this spring. She became concerned recently because of the erection of several power line poles at one end of the proposed location. Fear was expressed by Miss Ivetich' that the placing o' light lines along the field would hinder, the landing and taking off of airplanes. After a conference with' Mayor Doan, the inspection trip was planned for Thursday. An effort will be made to relocate the wires, so that planes in landing ajjd taking off from Adams-couuty-'s only airport will have sufficient room so as not to endanger any lives. SPECIAL MEET (Continued from Page One) would have added nine million dollars to the already record high budget. The senate had favored additional appropriation of $4 million for starting on a new state office building, $2 million for an intermediate penal institution and $1.5 million each for a Purdue veterinary school and an Indiana port on Lake Michigan. But separate caucuses of house Republicans and Democrats rejected the four buildihg projects. Craig had asked for all four of them in a conciliatory move. Two of the projects were administration pets—the penal school and the office building—but the other two had been pushed harder by the Jenner-Handley wing. Craig said he felt that Indiana could afford all four of the proposed structures. One face-saving victory of value to the Craig foes was a decision to keep the toll road rider in the budget bill, and not to make a separate bill out of it, as asked by the gubernatorial lieutenants. The Jenner-Handley wing spokesmen noted that such an arrangement would allow Craig to veto the separate toll road restrictions but that as long as the strings were tied to the budget, enactment into law was sure. Next big unanswered question about the $673 million spending program is how much of the state’s SB2 million surplus will be left. Budget director Don Clark told newsmen it would take a few days to figure out how much this figure will be increased by additional appropriations contained in other bills. ■ The original estimated income for the next two years made by Clark would drop the state surplus to an alarmingly low figure, since the administration lost out on a project to transfer $22 million from a JVorld War II bonus surplus to the general fund. This money was ear marked by the legislators instead for a Korean : bonus and tor schtioL.cou* struction. Gov. Craig indicated at <a- press oonference lie might sign the bonus-school bill, since the two subjects are tied together in the same bill. He did not give his usual flat rejection when asked about signing the bonus bill but said he hadn’t had a chance to study the matter yet. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Jelke Lawyers Seek Women For Jurors Two Women Chosen For Jury Tuesday NEW YORK (INS) — Oleo heir Mickey Jelke’s lawyers will seek to add more women today to the jury his second vice trial. Four jurors and two alternates Still are to be chosen. The selection of two women Tuesday appeared to be a point in favor of the 25-year-old Jelke, who is accused of peddling call girls to case society playboys at a price of SSO to SSOO a night. The chunky heir to a $3,500,000 fortune had said he wanted some women on the jury that will hear testimony from admitted prostitutes because "a woman can spot a bad woman faster than any man.” — Mrs. Annie Johnson, a housewife and former music teacher, and Mrs. Marie C. Toland, a Western Union telegrapher, were selected for the jury Tuesday. Edward Thompson, a security salesman, Leon A. Post, an engineer, and Robert C? Isham, an accountant. also were chosen. Previously named were Jesse J. Berlin, foreman. Fred Moran and Louis Olachwang. An indication of the lurid testimony to come was seen in the questions repeatedly asked prospective jurors by defense attorney George Washington Hers. He asked talesmen if they would be prejudiced if testimony showed Jelke was intimate not only with Pat Ward, the state's star witness who claims the ex-playboy led her into a life of prostitution, but with other case society lovelies. Herz warned almost as often that the testimony will have a “lot to do with sex, maybe with some deviation in sex.” Assistant district attorney Anthony J. Lelbler warned Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Toland that the testimony they would hear would be “seamy” and might be "embarrassing to discuss with male jurors.” Both women said they would not be upset by such information. SENATE DEMOS (Continued from Page One) the floor leader would not confirm it. If no tax cut is attached, the bill will simply extend present corporation and excise tax rates for another year beyond April 1, when they automatically expire unless continued.

United States Still Tops In Super • Bombs New Estimate By Secretary Wilson Strengthens Belief WASHINGTON (INS) —A new official estimate.by defense secretary Charles E. Wilson strengthened belief today that America will hold a substantial lead in super-bombs for at least three or four more years. Extensive data on atmospheric radioactivity, according to Wilson, shows that Russia has not yet exploded hydrogen weapons that are "anywhere near as large” as those set off by the U. S. in the Pacific. The defense secretary, at a news conference Tuesday, confirmed there is a "U-bomb"—a hydrogen bomb surrounded by a uranium jacket — and indicated that this is more terrible than even the H-bomb. Wilson said wrly, “I know a little about it," when asked if the U-bomb is “more super than the super-bomb.” He declined to elaborate. commenting that "the super bomb is bad enough.” International News Service correspondent Edwin Diamond disclosed’’ in an exclusive dispatch Saturday that the U. S. hydrogen device which spread lethal radioactivity over 7,000 square miles March 1, 1954 had a uranium jacket and could be described as a “U-bomb.” Wilson emphasized that he doesn’t believe in underestimating a potential enemy and that he favors every preparation to meet an attack. He said Russia definitely has hydrogen bombs, in smaller calibers than those (n the U. S. arsenal, as well as atomic bombs that the Soviets achieved two years earlier than the Pentagon had predicted. tt: — DOUBTS PROBE (Continued from P&ge One) ing be placed on a~IOO~ percent cash basis instead of the 60 percent margins now required, a vigorous program to warn the public on the dangers of stock specula- ; tion and possible federal tax levies to hold the market in check.
