tomato plant Avoid this disease by watering sufficiently and not overfeytilizing, especially with nitrogen. Blights cause the older leaves to yellow and drop off. Control with an all-purpose spray or dust applied every week and just after a rain or watering. Wilts cause plants to grow poorly and wilt, in spite of watering. To control, plant Fusarium wilt-resistant varieties. Also avoid planting tomatoes in the same place year after year. And don’t plant near walnut trees, which cause walnut wilt.
man William Proxmire of the influential Senate-House Economic Committee today called on Congress to reduce federal spending rather than raise in-
come taxes.
“If the government has to allocate more of the national resources to defense purposes, we should cut down on the government’s other claims on resources,” the Wisconsin Democrat said n a statement. “Why should the government go on consuming more than ever when it asks the private sector to consume less?” Proxmire’s comment came as the Johnson administration neared a decision on how much of an increase in personal and corporate income taxes it will ask of Congress, and what date to make the increase begin. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Nicholas de Katzenbach. undersecretary of state, plan to fly to Saigon this week on a missio’- o ntht ai
pected to provide an answer to how many U. S. troops will be sent to Vietnam above previously planned and budgeted levels. Proxmire estimated sending 100,000 more troops than previously planned to Vietnam would send defense spendng about $5 billion above the $22.4 billion currently budgeted for the war during the next 12
months.
The administraton contends a tax increase is needed to meet more of the war’s costs on a pay-as-you-go basis, and to hold down inflationary trends ts economic advisers are forecasting for later this year. President Johnson recommended last January that a 6 per cent surcharge on income taxes during the 12 months starting last Saturday be enacted to do both jobs. But no such legislation was ever in
Gardner Ackley, chairman of Johnson’s Council of Economic Advisers, told Proxmire’s committee last week tha the legislative request in the offing would ask for “at least” a 6 per
cent surcharge.
THE LAST YANKEE WHALER
Johnson appears to face a formidable task in getting any tax increase out of Congress at all. Proxmire is representative of a sizeable number of Democrats in Congress who have misgivings on raising taxes, and there is almost solid Republican opposition to a tax increase not accompanied by strict economy measures.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Army Sgt. Bobby Lee Jones, 36, was held here today in the fatal shooting of his estranged wife. Mrs. Jacqueline Jones, 28, of suburban Lawrence, was killed by a shotgun blast Monday night in the driveway of a friend's home on the northeast edge of Indianapolis. Shortly after the shooting, Jones walked into a tavern and told the bartender he had just shot his wife. The bartender and a friend talked Jones into surrendering to Lawrence police and he was jailed on a preliminary charge of murder. Witnesses said Jones and his wife had been arguing just before the shooting. Jones is stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison here.

A century and more ago, the cry “Thar she blows” echoed round the Seven Seas as Yankee whalemen hunted the fighter sperm whale-the most awesome of mammals From historic northeastern seaports—Martha’s Vineyard, New Bedford, Sag Harbor, Nantucket—Yankee seafarers signed on for whalehunts that sometimes lasted seven years. Many of them returned (with enough oil and spermaceti “to light the lamps of China.” And from these whalehunts were built many, of today’s New England fortunes. But many of the whalers, as chronicled in the famed Disaster Books of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company, never made home port ...or if they did, they limped back, victims of gale and heavy seas. Of the hundreds of whalers whose exploits are recorded in the Atlantic Mutual Library, none had so lengthy... or profitable... a career as the “Charles W." Morgan.” From 1841 to 1921-a full 80 years-the Morgan sailed the seas... in the Tropics, in the Arctic, off Cape Hatteras and the Cape of Good Hope, in the Indian Ocean and China Seas. As she left the ways in New Bedford on September 6, 1841, the “Charles W. Morgan” was just another whaler. Who would have guessed she was destined for immortality!
On board were thirty men, the youngest 15, the captain a ripe 34. Her maiden voyage of three years, three months and twenty-four days was auspicious. From this voyage, the “Charles W. Morgan” unloaded 1,600 barrels
irtune.. The third voyage, as recorded in the Atlantic Mutual Disaster Books had all the ingredients of a Hollywood • epic: an encounter with South Sea cannibals, a giant squid which threatened to maim several creWmen, and a tropical hurricane which nearly capsized the ship. At the turn of the century, she plied the North Pacific before returning to her home berth in New England. Long after most whalers had disappeared, the “Morgan” continued her career. Finally in 1921, the redoubtable whaler was laid up in Fair Haven. And then her second career began. The “Morgan” appeared. in three Hollywood sea sagas: “Down to the Sea in Ships,” “Java Head,” and “Miss Petticoats.” In the fall of 1941, just a month before Pearl Harbor, the “Charles W. Morgan’ 5 was retired gracefully in the Mystic Seaport Maritime Museum. Here in placid Connecticut waters, the “Charles W. Morgan” today recaptures for thousands of visitors the dramatic “Age of Whaling.”
