H-Blast Won't Make CD Useless, Says Wharton Development of the hydrogen bomb does not make useless the organization of civil delense, according to Wallace S. Wharton, Mar ion County civil defense director. Adequate planning and preparation are more vital than ever to survival in the event of a hostile attack, he pointed out. "We are now in a critical period of indeterminable extent, be- - ginning with perfection of the A- and H-bombs, and probably end ing only when the world has learned to live with these new methods of creating and releas ing energy by diverting the pro cesses to peaceful uses of econo mic value," he explained.

Wreck- j .H .v:c(in, ;t,f;,i ers had a busy time of it with 13 f.ninn, h rnnf,n rivil n Frost Damage May Actually Be Diabrotica By LILLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman . OREGON CITY Talce another look at the disappearing clover in the new clover seeding on fall grains, John Inskeep, Clacka mas County agent, warned her Thursday. What you may have thought was frost damage is more likely the attack of diabrotica or 12-s potted cucumber beetle. Inskeep reported that be had just returned from an inspection tour to the Elmer Thompson ranch near Monitor and the Her man Gassner one at Yoder and at both found severe attacks of diabrotica which had been laid to late frosts. -The adult beetles actively feed on young clover plants, especially at the two-leaf stage. A beetle will consume both leaves and the plant will not recover from this loss. There remains only the tiny stem to tell the tale. These stems are difficult to detect because of their small size, so the dam age is frequently blamed on frost. More Numerous The 12-spotted beetle has be come increasingly numerous dur ing the past 10 years and loss in clover fields is ranging from slight to total. Many total clover field failures a year ago, Inskeep said, were due to this insect alone. The 12-spotted beetle some what resembles a large yellow lady bug with 12 black spots. These insects may be found in singles or pairs crawling on the surface of the soiL On warmer sunny afternoons, beetles will fly when approached. On cooler days they remain on the surface of the soil. The number will vary from one to three or more per square rod. One beetle per square rod" will destroy a good percentage of seedling clover plants. Often Only Solution Inskeep added that it may seem a little foolish to dust a field when the infestation is ap parently so small, but dusting is, nevertheless, often the only so lution to saving a clover field. He recommends one per cent meth oxychlor per acre early in the morning when there is little breeze. Unless the fields are to be pastured after the dust is applied it will be less expensive to dust with 30 pounds of one per cent DDT per acre. But if the fields are to be used for pas ture later this season, and not saved for seed alone, the DDT dust should not be used. Slugs, too, are damaging fields, Inskeep reported. On tests run this past week no slugs were found on the Thompson farm but Herman Gassner reported quite 1 a few coming to the bait on his ; ranch.

What the federal tax cuts approved Wednesday will mean to consumers paying for taxed merchandise in installments remained something of a question Thursday. An Associated Press study of the new tax law indicated that the merchant may have to decide this one on the basis of how much of the payments made before Thursday went into the federal tax.

Lifelong NW Resident, 96, Dies in Salem Mrs. Sarah Alice Scott, life long resident of the Pacific Northwest, died at the age of 96 in Salem Wednesday. She was a native ef the 1 Tangent community where her parents, the C. P. Knightens, had i taken a donation land claim in j 1853. Later she lived in Washing ton state many years. She lived the last 18 years in Salem. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Jenks, 2765 N. River Rd. She had suf fered a brief illness.

Apart from the need for civil defense to minimize death, injury and destruction in this country as result of any hostile action, Wharton concluded, there is the continued need to accomplish the same basic purposes in natural caused disasters, many of which involve destructive release of na tural forces and energy many hun dreds of times more powerful than any fission or fusion explo sive contrived by man. 170 Pints of Blood Taken At Armory The Marion County Red Cross bloodmobile Thursday collected 170 pints of blood at the Salem Armory drawing.

The AP report on the tax in retail stores shows: Installments The new tax rate applies to payments made after March SI on an article told under an installment payment plan. No Reund But since the old tax rate applies to payments made before Aprir 1, this would mean that there would be no refund, for the difference in tax rates, on whatever part of pay ments made before April 1 was considered to have been in pay ment of taxes. This would appear to leave it up to the merchant to make some refund or not to make it. Lay-away or willcall sales An article is not considered sold be- April 1.
