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.

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. The manufactur
er supplies these discs directly to
licensee, who Is not permitted to
distribute them to any other persons.

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.

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.
Since Roseburg is "pracHcaily
In the shadow" of the alcohol
plant at Springfield, It would not
be good business to attempt an-

Rent Increase
Request Opposed
In order to take back a report
to the city council on the possi
bility of decontrolling rents here,
Mayor Albert G. 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

buildings at a cost of about $15,

The average cotton - and -wool

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

of stitching.
Last winter, for the first time,
a nylon flag was tested. It was
