But Britain had a favorable treaty with him, retain ing rights to maintain troops and air bases in the country. Abdullah was one of the first to loin the Arab league which was -formed to resist the formation of the Jewish Israel in Palestine, but the leasue was a failure against Israel in large measure because of suspicion of heads of other states of the intentions of Abdullah.

All but the north side of the blaze has been trailed.

Phipps said he expected the blaze to be trailed and con trolled today, barring adverse weather conditions. The blaze slackened slightly Sat-1 urday morning after ? blazing through felled and bucked timber during the night, but the fire was spreading in. a northerly direction in rugged country and forestry department officials ; had little hope of getting it under control before late today. Winds which twisted snags of roots fed the blaze burning along the head of dkhorn creek. Winds continued high Saturday and low humidity increased the fire danger throughout the entire Tillamook burn area.

South Marion county Aums Hay Fever Victims Take Marion Couiity Awarded Ragweed Championship By mile L. Madsen Farm Editor. The Statesman If Marion county wishes to claim a dubious honor, it "can boast It has more ragweed than does Clackamas county. That was the statement of Drj Frank Perlman of Portland, who made a ragweed survey in the Salem, Turner and Woodburn areas Saturday morning, and said now is the time to stop the weed by Senator Taft Labels-Korea War 'Useless' A1WAPOUS, Md July 21-VP) -Senator . Taft (R-Ohio) tonight called the Korean 'war a useless war that has accomplished noth ing toward punishing aggression. "The net result of the whole proceeding,: he - said, "is the loss of 80,000 American casualties and billions of dollars and the destruc tion of the very country which we undertook to defend." Taft, the republican policy lead er in the senate, said current peace negotiations in Korea "will only postpone the ultimate danger." ' . He added, however, L. a speech before a Maryland republican out ing here that "undoubtedly a stalemate peace at the 38th paral lel is better than a stalemate war at the 38th parallel." But he said that "as for pun ishing aggression, nothing has been accomplished." - - "The aggressor knows now that he has everything to gain if he wins and nothing to lose if he loses," Taft said. J - ' Not only have the Chinese com munists captured half of Korea, he said, but "their aggression will be recognized and they will be perfectly safe. "No bombs have been dropped on their country. No blockade has been enforced against them. The nationalist Chinese army has been prevented from making any at tempt to Invade South China or build up a popular front in South China against communism."

"There was quite a bit of rag weed there, but , nothing in com parison to what we have found here," the doctor stated. He add ed that he had never "seen rag weed grow quite so prolifically as these patches we have found this morning. - I Dr. Perlman qualifies as an ex pert in the field of allergies as a member of the committee of Na tional Pollen Survey of the Amer ican Academy of Allergies and as chairman, of a subcommittee to study the ragweed problem for Portland Chamber of Commerce under the health committee head ed by Dr. Richard B. Dillehunt Hay Fever Weed The survey was made in Mar ion county ; through the efforts of Don Terpening, a native midwest ernerr who recognized the weed and during the past two years has become concerned about the in creasing ; amount of ragweed (termed the" official hay fever weed) in the Salem and Turner areas. Mr. Terpening has been employed by the Oreaoa Electric railway company for a number of years and drives into Salem from Turner each day." i In .the -Saturday tour huge patcnes oi the weed were found along the highway right-of-way in the region or McNary . field. A few miles farther another large paten was found. Going on to ward Turner, the group found that the weed had invaded a barley field to the extent that the rag weed was more t prominent than the barley.: Immediately across the highway from the barley field was a large patch of tansy rag wort (which is poisonous to live stock) in bloom. Other patches of the ragweed were found in the Woodburn area. Ragwort Control 1 Marion county has a tansy rag wort control program. So far there is no program for the control of the ragweed. Many folk confuse the two, Terpening said. He honed that eventually -a control program for the ragweed would also be Started. So far all control rests with the individual. i There are 5,000 potential vic tims of severe cases of hav fever in the Salem area alone, if weed comes into bloom, which it is now i starting to do, the doctor stated. I the blooms are, permitted to go unheeded that ; number will be doubled next year, he added. Asks Control Heurged that Immediate steps be taken toward its control. It yields readily . to weed control sprays. He suggested that sprays be applied in sufficient quantity to leave a residual which will con trol seedlings as they - appear for the next few weeks. That system, he added, has worked rather well In Clackamas county. "One oi our big bids to late summer and early fall .- tourist trade has been our ragweed-free- ness. we should maintain this reputation," the doctor urged. "So far the weed is nbt so generally prevalent as in midwestern areas. By qulek control and concentrat ed efforts we may be able of head it off." . . . ". Why Not Earlier - 1 He went on to say that the one puzzle has been that the weed had not Invaded this area earlier. If it should once get "a really good start", its control would be much more difficult, he explained. The matter should be one of general concern, Dr. Perlman in sisted, and certainly the highway department should be interested in its control along the right-of- ways. f People don't recognize the weed," Mr. Terpening stated. "I'm sure that everyone will cooperate when they know how much infes tation we have here, v ; A pollen testing counter Is be ing set up in the Salem-Turner area and reports from this win be available from time to time, the doctor said.
