16 The Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Thursday. April 17. Washington Mirror 1952 Appi Movie Actor Mbntomerv Given Lesson in Reporting As to Ethicfc, Responsibility By A. ROBERT SMITH . Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON Robert Montgomery, the movie actor, has al ways played the role of hero suave, debonaire, rather dashing In a restrained way always the hero. Robert Montgomery, the radio commentator, continues to play his role of hero in the scripts he writes tor his nightly five minute broad casts, with the Truman Administration frequently cast in the role of villain. Spittle Nymphs learing in Berry Fields A 5 per cent methoxychlor dust at the rate of 50 pounds per acre is being recommended for spittle bug control in strawberries this year. The effectiveness of this new Insecticide was proven by expert mental work during 1950 and 1951 In certain Western Oregon straw berry plantings. Work was con ducted by Dr. R. G. Rosenstiel, associate entomologist at Oregon State College. One of the advantages of metn oxychlor is its residual Quality Under ,conditions present the past two years, one well-timed and thoroughly applied applicaUon of methoxychlor dust controlled the spittlebugs, in the. experimental fields. Methoxychlor . should not be used within two weeks of the time berries are harvested, ac cording to Dr. Rosenstiel. Rotenone dust can still be used by those growers who have had good results from this material in past years. The recommendation remains one half or three fourths of one per cent rotenone dust at the rate of 50 pounds per acre. Since rotenone only lasts for 3 to 10 days in the field, additional dusts may be necessary in those fields having a heavy spittlebug population. Timing Important Proper timing of spittlebug dusts can be determined best by the individual grower.

Was it true that speculators were all set to capitalize on the lifting of the ban, having bought up cheap Mexican cattle for re-sale later in the U.S. with inside information on when the ban would be lifted? Was it really hoof-and-mouth dis ease or just some ragweed that had affected the Mexican cattle? Montgomery maintained he hadn't charged anything, but was simply putting these questions to Secretary of Agriculture Bran nan. He said he didn't know the answers himself, otherwise he would be making flat statements instead of shaping them in the form of questions. He refused to Since the outbreak of the hoof-and-mouth disease in Canada, Montgomery has had quite a bit to say about the manner In which this same disease has been han- died by the Department of Agri culture in Mexico during the past five years. He suggested on one broadcast that the program of controlling it "was "deliberately maintained for administration grafters and job holders." This past week, when the Jlouse Agriculture Committee called in Montgomery to hear his evidence, it turned out to be a most unusual congressional hearing. In the first place, Actor Mont gomery's appearance was easily the highlight of the year for con gressional secretaries who nor mally get to see no one more im portant that visiting queens and prime ministers. They, and the hookey-playing bobbysoxers who helped pack the hearing room, pounced on the celebrity with au tograph pads outstretched, apolo- to me we are confronted here with a new and perhaps irrespon sible technique of journalism, for your questions carried evil impli cations and it was never your in tent that they should be an swered." "Are you questioning my right to ask questions of our govern ment?" retorted Montgomery hot ly. "Certainly not, you have the right to be as irresponsible as you want to be," Cooley countered. When the smoke had cleared, Montgomery stuck to his "right" to ask questions without conced ing that being a responsible radio commentator denrfands more than good diction, punchy lines and a sponsor. What the congressmen were trying to teach him is that in America it is still not cricket to suggest someone's guilt until they prove their innocence. 15 MILLION TV SETS NEW YORK (JP) - Latest esti- Sand Bag Poiver Plant J ; i ' 4 J: T " -HI ' f Til .53 I 4 J V ,W.U Students, to .

One Man Guilty, Two Acquitted In Assault -Case One of three men charged with assault and battery In a family melee In Salem last Christmas Eve was found guilty Wednesday by a Marion County Court Jury. The others were acquitted. The charge is one of three facing the trio, with the other trials to come. Jay H. McDonald of Albany was found guilty in the charge involving an assault against C. R. Lannigan, 4885 Auburn Rd., father of Mrs. McDonald. The verdict was unanimous after two days - of testimony and nearly three hours of deliberation. Those found innocent, in 11-1 verdicts, were Thomas Irvin Gor don of Aumsville and Jack Gor don. They and McDonald still face charges of assault and. bat tery against L. Lannigan and J.

Oregon Council of Churches' Work Described in Talk Work of Oregon Council of Churches in numerous fields was depicted for Salem Ministerial Association at its Tuesday meet ing. Speakers were the Rev. Gilbert Christian, executive secretary, who discussed the seasonal aid for migrant workers and the guidance given in the Christian education field, and John Kilpack, director of juvenile protection.

(Story on page one). fruit clusters should have opened so that the fruit stems are slightly separate from each other. When dusts are applied within 10 days of these two conditions, the dust will contact the nymphs before they have secreted a large spittle mass and it will also penetrate the tender growth including the fruit ing clusters. Power Duster 3-est Power dusters are recommend ed for best results. Having hoods over the ends of the nozzles con centrates the air blast and con fines the dust over the plants. If warm weather and rapid plant growth continue, many strawberry growers on the river bottom and valley floor soils will be applying their spittlebug dust this week. Most growers having hill plantings will dust later than those on the lower elevations.

Failure to control spit tlebugs results in a smaller crop and more dockage from deformed or cull fruit. Most growers con sider spittlebug control a neces sary practice for the production of quality strawberries.
