U.N
Meets Objection
Lake Success, N.Y., Aug. 23
(0.R) United Nations Secretary
general Trygve Lie has recom
mended a 1950 United Nations
budget of $44,314,398, an in
crease over 1949 due mainly to
plans for expanded technical aid
and 19S additions to the UN
staff.
The request ran into imme
diate criticism form the inde
pendent committee of budgetary
experts, which censured "ex
pansionist tendencies" in some
UN departments and urged that
$1,786,750 be pared from Lie's
total estimate.
It suggested that $1,225,850 of
-the cut be made in planned out
lays for "staff services and
equipment" 5 main headquar
i ters here.
r Lie's budget figure was $827,
r 270 over the total for 1949.
His proposal to add 195 per
sons to the secretariat, largely
for carrying out broadened pro
grams to elevate economies of
' backward areas, would bring the
UN roster to a record high of
3,912.

Grasshopper Battle Depends
Reports to House Committee
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL
Washington, Aug. 22 VP) Whether another attempt will be
made to stop the grasshopper hordes before they begin to fan out
again from breeding grounds in western states probably de
pends on reports to be made to the house appropriations com
mittee on this year's operations.
Members of the committee-
were obviously puzzled tnis
summer at the department's
change in methods for combat
ing the insect. They sat down
hard on its request for $3,500,
000 to complete the job and
brushed' off the senate's attempt
to provide the needed money.
We had to take what we
could get," Senator Hayden (D.,
Ariz.), said glumly. He had
backed the full $3,500,000 ap
propriation to fight the hoppers.
The house originally voted
$1,500,000 to do the job. The
senate later raised this to $3,
500,000. The final compromise
approved and later signed by
the President granted $1,750,000
for the work.
This is a special appropriation
and is in addition to other funds
made available by congress for
the 1949 and 1950 fiscal years
to fight not only grasshoppers
but other insects as well.
Here are some of the ques
tions that puzzled the congress
men and the answers they got
from Dr. S. A. Rohwer, chief of
(he bureau of entomology, and
his associates, during hearings
on the last appropriation re
quest: Why, if the work if confined
largely to only a little more than
5,000,000 acres in two slates, is
it a federal problem?
Answer: Because this has been
determined to be the breeding
ground of the hordes of hoppers
that fan out over the crop and
range lands of the Dakotas Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado and
perhaps as far south as Texas.
If the source of these hoppers
has been known for some time
why hasn't something been done
about it before?
Answer: Devices, machinery
new kinds of tools and poisons
are available for the first time
this year.

Backfire Used
By Firefighters
Klamath Falls, Aug. 23
Forest crews hoped today that a
3000-acre gra s s 1 a n d backfire
would aid their fight to slow a
7000 acre forest and grass blaze
south of here in California.
A torch was put to the smaller
tract of grassland last night. For
esters have 700 men on the fire
lines in the Shasta and Modoc
national forests and the Lava
Beds national monument.
Valuable tracts of timber have
been leveled in the four-day-old
tire that burst out of conlrol
Sunday after burning slowly the
night previous.
The northernmost edge of the
flame was about 30 miles south
of here. The backfire was set
along the west boundary of the
monument area.
Foresters blamed a sheep
herder's camp fire for the fire.
One man has been injured' and
is in a hospital here.
