'tentions that the borer and gratahoppers pose a greater threat tp 1955 crops than was. the cast last year. This ia expected to spur farmers into active control work. The best known control measures are regular applications of. DDT. A 10l will depend on the weather at the time borer eggs are hatching as to whether there is a major infestation thia year. In a detailed report pn last year’s damage, the department pointed out that it Waa more than double the 1953 loss of 90 million bushels of corn valued at 125 million dollars. The new estimate is based on surveys made in 958 counties in 25 eastern and midwestern states which grow about 90 percent of all the corn produced Tor grain. Tho area studied blankets the main corn bell. lowa, the leading corn state, suffered by far the most extensive loss last year—almost 94 million bushels. Illinois lost more than 38 million bushels of her crop, Nebraska 22 million bushels, and South Dakota more than -17 million bushels. By comparison, the other 21 states surveyed had average Idsses of only a miUion hpshels each. In budget requests for the new fiscal year beginning next July 1, the agriculture department is seeking more money for research on the control of insects and plant and animal diseases. The likelihood is that congress, whose members have seen the beneficial results of such programs in their home districts, will agree to the larger appropriations.

SENATE VOTES (Continued from Page One) thusly: Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) asked: “Would it be consistent for senators who voted themselves a 50 percent increase to deny these people a 10 percent increase?” Post office committee chairman Olin D. Johnston (D-S. C.) replied: "Certainly not." Sen. William E. Lenger (RN. D.) interjected: “If they get a 15 percent increase they wouldn't have any more take-home pay than they got in 1929.” t Johnston: "In 1939 most of the people covered by this bill didn’t pay any income tax. Now they do.” r , Langer:, “It ought to be a 15 percent increase. This miserable, lousy increase is entirely inadequate.” Off-stage, the CIO entered the fray by declaring the 10 percent raise too small. However, it said the increase should be voted “not only as an economic measure but as a tangible expression of belated recognition that federal employes at all levels are a group of devoted, capable and loyal public Servants.” r—_ SERVICES MONDAY , j ; (Continued from Page One) his physician as "malignancy of the esophagus.” Although his years of service in the Philippines and as federal security administrator and war manpower commissioner took him away from Indiana much of his later life, he returned frequently to visit his parents and to take pirt in Democratic rallies.

South Korea Pledges Aid For Formosa Reiterates Stand Aimed At Unifying Korea By Action TOKYO (INS) — President Syngman Rhee pledged today that South Korea would do "anything within our power to help defend Formosa" but intimated that the United States and other allies are holding any such plan in tight rein. The Republic of Korea leader, on the eve of his elightieth birthday, also reiterated a longstanding determination to unify Korea by military action against the Communists in the north. Rhee declared: “Once our great allies permit us to push up into North Korea, we shall not hesitate to do so. and without delay or equivocation.” Rhee made his remarks in answer to a series of questions presented to him by International News Service. x The ROK president declared in his answers cabled from Seoul to Tokyo: •, “I must say first of all that regardless of whether there is full scale warfare between Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalist forces and the Communist Chinese, we shall carry out our own plans sos Unification of Korea with or without the help of our allies.

”ls Chinese forces take action against the Chinese Communists, it will be that much better for us. "It must never be forgotten that Formosa and the Republic of Korea are the only Asian anti-Com-munist nations with strong armed forces. “We shall do anything within our power to help defend Formosa, if we can. and I firmly believe th£ Nationalist government will do the same for us, if it can." Then referring to American and allied controls placed on ROK military action. Rhee added: "1 must remind you when the Communists were invading IndoChina. the Kofean government was fully prepared to send its armed forces there—in defense of a vital free world outpost. “But the allied nations were fearful of becoming embroiled in a world conflict, and sacrificed half of Vietnam rather than let us tight for the cause of Free Asia. "The difficulties reflected by that attitude have not been eliminated; we are still facing them—right now.” The South Korean statesman made these other main points in his cabled replies: 1. On the truce line ‘between North and South Korea, "the situation is much more precarious” because while the armistice agreement prohibited South Korea from modernising its army, the enemy “not only modernized, but has actually increased its forces—especially air power.” 2. Chinese and North Korean forces—“massed in great strength only a few miles from Seoul—are presenting an ever-more imminent threat to the security of this republic,” 3. South Korea “could have won

He added: “Our friends across the ocean made the mistake then —and are still making it of thinking — that Korea is just as safe as those nations who are thousands of miles away. “We do not depreciate the threat to the United States, but the fact remains that for the time being, we are accessible to the Chinese Communist dreams of conquest and America is not?’ Hell Week Changed To Help Week At Indiana •BLOOMINGTON.
