WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. 23 —~Nearly all the barbs slung at DDT in the few months since it appeared on the civilian market can be explained away with po word, “ignorance,” according to agriculture depoviaien ‘entomologists, These scientific. parents of the bug-killer are convinced that DDT Will become the most popular of the household insecticides. The chief reason-—-its deadly powers linger on for days, weeks and months.

powers of DDT until they learn how, when and where

Except in a few cases, DDT does not act quickly. Some disgusted users have complained, “I could step on them easier.” But once a victim contacts DDT, it's a marked bug. It will die eventually. The power of DDT varies with its strength, what material it is combined with and how it is dispersed ~by spray or powder, .

Follow Directions

RECOMMENDED strengéhs of DDT vary from 2% to 10 per cent. Home-owners are urged to ask reHable dealers, state experiment stations or the U. 8. bureau of entomology and plant quarstine for proper solution or mixture for a specific purpose. then follow directions. Federal regulations rule out fraudulent advertising but they do not require manufacturers to label the percentage content of DDT in all cases.

Aviation

IF WE had had a national aviation policy before pur combat airmen had been demobilized, many lives would have been saved and many air accidents avoided. : Competent administrators operating under a national air policy would have the necessity for conditioning the air G.

And recognizing this necessity, they would have heen in a position to arrange with the military air ces to see to it that before demobilization every sombat pilot would be given at least a one-hour sheck flight in the thousands of low-powered planes swned by the services. But with the management of civilian aviation mder the sprawling civil geronautics administration, p one anticipated the need for covering this critical int,” Consequently, a lot of putt-putts are being busted up and a lot of war pilots are injured.

DDT is the most potent weapon yet disctvered|’ against house flies, bedbugs and mosquitoes. The housefly alone costs the U. 8. more than $66,000,000

annually in damage and control measures. But DDT has not proved more deadly than other standard compounds to cockroaches and some household ants. A 5 per cent ofl .or kerosene solution’is recommended for spraying walls, doors, ceilings and lamp cords for protection against flies for several months. Caution is urged since the kerosene can be a fire hazard

Don’t Spray Animals DOGS MAY be dusted with DDT to rid them of | fleas or ticks. But cats are likely to poison themselves | by licking the powder. In no case should animals be sprayed with an oil solution. Entomologists stress that. : Srapy or powder DDT, in proper mixture, applied to mattresses and beds will kill all bedbugs for six months or longer. A 3 per cent kerosene spray on walls and screens produces excellent results against mosquitoes. DDT will control some species of ants for several weeks but is not effective against others. Use of the insecticide as a soil poison proved effective for more | than two seasons against termites. Entomoligist Dr. Fred C. Bishop reported: that w somé of the people Seemi to think (hat, “Because something new is good, twice as much ought to be! twice as good.” That isn’t true.

His “stick” and the pressures on the rudder are light and the reaction is intantaneous. In short, the fighter will “fly him” better than he can fly it—if " he will let it alone and merely guide it. The putt-putt, however, must be flown and he! must fly it all the way. He's off the ground at 50 ‘miles per hour and it takes a lot of time to get up to! 90 miles per hour. He can make a lot of movements with that “stick” before anything appreciable happens unless he tries to climb fighter style, and then he’ll spin or slip into the ground.

The commission also is asked to make recommendations for an international declaration or convention on such matters as civil liberties, the status of women, freedom of information, protection of minorities, and prevention. of discrimination on grounds ‘of race, sex, language or religion. THe second recommendation was for the establishment of a temporary social commission.

Pending the establishment of permanent machinery, the economic and social council should authorize & temporary commission to take over—on an interim basis—the work of.the League of Nations on Social questions and to deal with other social problems requiring immediate attention, The third point on the agenda was the establishment of a commission on narcotic drugs—a recommendation which was supported by China and with which, of course, we also concurred.
