Sees Total Victory Over Some Insects New Weapon Kills By Physical Means By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD — There is a new possibility of science winning a total victory over certain insects, including that prime and seemingly Unconquerable pest, the cockroach. The new weapon seems to kill insects’ by physical rather than chemical means. If that is so, insects won’t be able to learn to live with it as many have learned to live with DDT and other poisonous insecticides. It also means people won't accidentally poison themselves while exterminating insects. The new weapon is a kind of sand. Add two oxygen atoms to the molecule of silicon, which is one of the most abundant of the elements, and you have silica Nature frequently makes the addition; silica is everywhere, p in sands and rocks. Now, toy with silica in technically easy ways, and you have an extremely fine powder which is aggressively greedy for moisture. Draws Body Moisture An insect walks over a sprinkle of that powder and very soon thereafter it is dead. Science doesn’t yet know positively why, but the best theory is that the powder draws moisture out of its body.. That’s as physical away of killing as swatting, but it’s infinitely easier. DDT and the other organic insecticides kill by adding ingredients to an insect’s body chemistry which the chemistry can’t I handle. Unhappily insect chemis- — — — ——n —

try adapts to the added ingredients and eventually lines o< insects emerge which are immune to what used to kill them, but 'meanwhile people, birds, fish, and other creatures are endangered. Silica m any form is notably non-poisonous. The silica powder has been in use for a long time as a filler or diluting substance I for rebins and other materials. . Dr. Walter Ebeling of the Univer- ’ sity of discovered by accident that it was an insect ' killer. Faster Than DDT i He was diluting DDT with it and discovered that when he dei creased the DDT content of his insect poison while increasing the powder content, it killed more ihJsects. I Since then there have been ’ i many experiments. In the ‘laborajtory, the powder alone will knock ‘ down cockroaches in 15 minutes ’ I and kill them in 45 minutes, .'which is faster than DDT, parajthion, dieldrin, and a number of ' other poisoning insecticides can ' do it. It works as effectively on all insects experimented with so far. The answer to the critical ques--1 tion of whether the powder is the 1 total victory weapon, now is in ; the making. The Davison Chemi- ' cal Co., whose scientists developed the powder formulation which tested best in the laboratory, has released quantities of it ’ to professional insecticide users ' for strictly controlled scientific i experiments under natural condijtions. Their results will give the . answer. ,■ ..

leaped into the car and jammed on the brakes. Then he turned to berate the driver—and found himself face-to-face with the neighbor’s dog. On a stifling summer day in Marathon, Tex., , hunter Jack Louirie stretched out on his station wagon’s mattress for a quick snooze. He was violehily ’ awaened when the sun’s rays, passing through a gallon bottle of water, set the mattress afire, exploding a box of shotgun shells. All was calm a minute later, though, when one of the shells smashed the water bottle, dousing the fire. , Other oddities recounted by the council’s magazine, “Traffic Safety,” included: "Comedian Bob Hope’s brother, Jack, was an hour early to a scheduled get-together with Navy Chief Petty Officer Leroy Thomas when their cars collided on the way to the meeting. —The Marine, 111., fire department's float in the town’s homecoming parade was a model of realistic display. It caught fire. —Eleven - year -old Tommy Kline of Three Rivers, Mich., had a ready excuse when his bicycle hit a moving car. Said Tommy: "I fell asleep at the handlebars.” —Army Sgt. Joe Palacio snapped to a salute at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., and dislocated his shoulder. —George McCurdy, 81. fell and broke his knee —while cutting a rug at a dance sponsored by the Safety Always Club. t
