2 The Nwi-Rtiwf Rotoburg, Pro. Thur., July 28, 194 Hydrocyanic Acid Gas For Furniture Fumigation Gets Test Here Under State Law Four men donned gai masks to view the tint test use hero of hydrocyanic acid gas lor furni ture fumigation Wednesday. This potent gas is required, under a new stale law, for the fumigation of all used furniture and bedding offered for sale. The demonstration took place at the Douglas County Poultry, first firm in the county to be li censed for use of hydrocyanic acid gas under the law which be came effective July 16. Walter Bernal, manager, and Jack Butler, employe, received instructions In ase of the gas from Glenn H. Howe, field in spector for the State Board of Health, and E. H. Macomber, San Francisco, representative of the American Cyanamid Co., who said the gas is safe,"lf treated with respect" J Formerly furniture and bed ding fumigators used sulphur and formaldehyde. Used careless ly by some operators, said Howe, these chemicals did not always result In a proper fumigation job. So the last legislature passed new law requiring use of hydro cyanic add eas to assure com plete fumigation. European Aid Bill Strikes Snag In Senate (Continued From Page One) which stalled the aid bill: Lucas raised a point of order a challenge against an amend ment which would have required ECA to earmark $1,500,000,000 for buying surplus American farm commodities. The amendment was sponsored by Senator McClellan (DArk). Lucas's fight to kill the Mc Clellan amendment led finally to a ruling by Vice President Bark lev which was challenged by Sen ator Taft (R-Ohlo). The Senate sided with Taft by a vote ot 51 to 38. And then McClellan challenged the entire bill with a point of or der which automatically sent the measure back to the committee. The basic Issue was not Euro pean recovery but whether the amendments violated Senate rules by writing new legislation In'o an appropriations hill. The con stitution requires that all appro priations originate In the House. Issua Left In Doubt Barkley told reporters the peo ple of Europe should not be alarmed by the vote because It was purely a technical matter of senate rules. He predicted a foreign aid money bill will be passed. But the action wiped out four days of Senate debt te and left the Issue hanging In doubt pos sibly for weeks. Mi Kellar, McClellan and Wher ry all suid they saw no reason for the committee to back down on the amendments opposed by the Senate leadership. "I'm not going to back down," McClellan said. "I'm going to fight to keep the farm commod ity amendment in tne bill. And I'm in no rush. I think we should review the whole thing and per haps cut another $1,000,000,000 off the European recovery program." Wherry thought new hearings might be helpful but Senator Saltonstall IR Mass), a strong supporter of ECA. said he hopes there will be no delay.

Wednesdays. The new eas Is "strong enough to do the job," said Howe. It will kill insects and other pests in furniture and bedding. It also is used extensively in flour mills and fruit orchards to kill insect pests. In slightly different form, as cyanide gas, it is used in the death house at the state peniten tiary, at Salem. "It la a deadly gas, but used with caution by men who know how to handle it, It Is sate," com mented Macomber. For the purposes of the test, Howe placed carpet beetles In small, round pill boxes in the fumigation chamber, a former cold storage room. Carpet beetles are hard to kill because they breathe so slowly and Imper ceptibly. At the end of 12 hours, period of the test, th?y should be dead. Hydrocyanic acid gas comes In the form of discs, shaped like cookies. The discs are placed about the fumigation chamber and Immediately begin to emit the gas fumes.

Rearm Western Europe Now, Acheson's Warning (Continued From Page One) North Atlantic treaty with mili tary assistance ho believes peace would be secured and no aggres sor would dare take on the whole combination of western powers. "The fundamental nleuge of the treaty, that an attack on one sig natory will mean an attack on all, closes thj door to piecemeal ag gression," Acheson said. The bulk of the proposed arms aid would go to pact nations. Acheson said that In the light of treaty pledges and with the arms program he did not believe "any aggressor at this time would dare" to take the "desperate gamble of an all-out war. "The gangster mind likes to gamble only on sure things," he said. One after another Acheson sought to meet the criticism of the arms program by Senate and House members during the Senate debate on ratification ot the treaty. He said that because "our re sources are limited" it J neces sary to concentrate the main American effort on Europe. He termed tills an effort vital to to American security. Westsrn Europe Needs Aid Under the administration plan during the next 12 months, Eu rope would receive Sl.lOU.OUO, 000 of the arms assistance. The rest would go to a number of non-Atlantic treaty countries such as Greece, Turkey, Iran, Korea and the Philippines. Acheson said lhat It was "scarcely likely" that the western European nations would be ade quately re-armed or able to do their own re arming at the end of the year. At the same time he said that If the United States does not help those countries to rearm "the comparative cost to us In future years of preserving our own se curity will be considerably great er." He declined to predict how long an American program would be necessary. The secretary previously had called on congress to wait until all the evidence is In before in parsing Judgment on the arms measure. The only Iron available to ancient man was lhat which he would find In meteorites. Iron once was a rare and precious mineral. NYLON HOSE (Irregulars) 69c 31.95 Sutherlln Apparel In tutherlln Wood Wast Products Require Assured Market (Continued from pag 1) together there Is an enormous amount of wood waste. Although the county's timber is managed for the most part on sustained yield, with no feat it will be exhausted, there Is con cern here, he said, about getting more complete utilization and re ducing as low as possible the per centage of the tree that remains unused. Wast Problem National Waste and low-grade wood are available at comparatively low cost wherever wood products are manufactured In large quantities. Douglas county is not unique In this respect. The same problem bered county In the United is faced in practically every tim States. "Perhaps the most Important question for you to answer is: 'What can we sell profitably here that we can make here?' said Hunt. An excellent way to reduce waste, Hunt pointed out first, would be for milling and logging operators to reduce wasleful practices. It Is also possible to make from waste wood hundreds of products that, from a purely technical standpoint, can be made In Douglas county as well as elsewhere. "But only those products should be made here that can be marketed at a profit," he cau tioned. "A surprising number of people seem to feel that all they need to start up In the business of wood utilization Is a recipe for some wonderful new product. As a matter of fact, this is seldom of first importance. "Essential requirements are business sense, alertness to tech nological developments, and abil ity to sell profitably against com petition." Disadvantages Faced All woods growing here can be made into some kind of useful pulp or paper, This area faces the disadvantages of having to avoid water pollution and being a great distance from large con suming centers. Hunt said. Conventional processes of mak ing pulp and paper usually re quire the Investment of millions of dollars and a dailv output of a hundred tons of pulp or more, for maximum efficiency, Hunt added. They also require large volumes of water, most of which is returned to the stream carry ing varying quantities of dissolv ed and suspended solids. Production of fibre boards might be profitable in mills with capacity as low as 10 ions of wood waste a dav provided, of course, a profitable market is available. Sugar Plant Should Walt An Interesting study of recent years Is that of production of sug ars from wood. Molasses obtain ed from wood sugars can be fed to livestock as a supplemenial carbohydrate feed, can be fer mented to produce alcohol, rin be made to produce veasl for feeding, or can be convened to various other chemicals.

New York City, which has had 14 polio deaths since July 1, is sued an emergency call for nurses. The Red Cross said Arkansas was one of the hardest hit states in the nation. Most of the victims were stricken during May, June and July. PORTLAND. July 28 (JPi The Oregon health officer said last night he was not alarmed by the fact that there have been 59 cases of poliomyelitis In the state this year. Dr. Harold M. Erlckson said the critical month of August was ahead, but that the cases per week have not been increasing alarmingly. There were 32 cases in Oregon last year at this time.

Flegel and Coun cilman Jack Hart attended a ses sion of the local rent advisor)' board Wednesday night. The board met to consider the request of a landlord and his wife for raising the rates on three small rental units, situated on property they own in Roseburg. E. G. Clay, Corvallis, area rent director, said the advisory board made a personal inspection trip to view the property. They recommended the rents be con tinued at $35 a month for each cabin. The landlords, whose names were not given, had asked Increases to $30. There was no discussion on the decontrol of rents, said Clay, and the city council representatives did not state their impressions of the board's meeting. Mayor Hegel commented this morning that he felt the board's deliberation was "well done" and that they had given "every con sideration" to the problem at hand.

That's the goal of a research project undertaken by the Public Buildings administration, which buys flags for more than 1.500 buildings at a cost of about $15, 000 a year. The average cotton - and -wool bunting flag lasts 27 days, build ings Commissioner W. E. Rey nolds told reporters. The flags fade and tear more quickly in winter than In summer, and some areas are harder on flags than others. On buildings in the windy, foggy San rancisco Bay area, for example, at least one new flag must be Installed every day, Reynolds said. Flag testers will work with many different materials, with plastic lacques and chemical processes, and with various types of stitching. Last winter, for the first time, a nylon flag was tested. It was flown from the new Interior building for 76 days, a record for that season. Nylon costs about twice as much as standard bunting, however.
