New Element
Is Heaviest
Berkeley, Calif., Jan. 19 VP)
The University of California
cyclotrons have produced an
other new element this one the
heaviest known.
The new substance, No. 97 in
the atomic scale, is the fifth to
be produced by the cyclotron's
atomic particle bombardments.
Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, 37-year-old
professor of chemistry
at the university, said it prob
ably would be named "Berke
lium," in honor of the university
city.
The element was discovered
December 19 but Its announce
ment was withheld pending nec
essary approval by the atomic
energy commission.
What the new element is like
and what might be done with
it were not announced. Dr. Sea
borg said theoretical considera
tions rule out its use in atomic
weapons.
investigations of Its proper
ties are continuing.
Dr. Seaborg named two re
search associates, Dr. Stanley G.
Thompson, 37, and Albert Thi
orso, 35, as co-discoverers of
the new element.
Dr. Seaborg has been co-discoverer
of four of the five new
elements produced in the Berke
ley cyclotrons: Plutonium,
Americium, curium and now the
tentatively named Berkelium.
The fifth was neptunium.
The University of California
cyclotrons are machines which
are capable of changing known
substances into other, entirely
different substances.
Snow Brings Halt
Upon Dam Project
Mill City Notices have been
posted about town in various
business houses stating that De

tinued until the weather breaks.
When all work was stopped Fri
day noon there was between 4
and 5 feet of snow at the proj
ect. The Mill City Women's club
meeting was cancelled this week
due to the bad weather. The
meeting was also cancelled two
weeks ago for the same reason.

Your Pants Are loot,
You Get Boot in Baltimore
Baltimore, Jan. 19 (P) If your pants are zoot, you get the boot.
Pegged pants, it seems, are strictly taboo at some Baltimore
recreation centers. And teen-agers who sport the too-tight trous
ers are setting up a howl with some support from the older
generation. A
It's known as the ruler treat
ment. Shov up with trousers
that are less than 17 inches
around at the cuffs, and out you
go. wo dancing for cut-down
pants fanciers.
The measure (no pun intend
ed) was brought to the attention
of the city council by Mrs. M.
J. Greeley. She claims It's
driving teen-agers into the
streets.
She told the council in a letter
that one youth was barred from
a city recreation center because
of "the width of his trousers and
the cut of his coat."
His pants, she said, had been
knocked down to less than 17
inches.
Other measurements on the
zootometer, according to teen
agers are "semi-drape" (16) and
"really it" (14).
Harold S. Callowhill, super
intendent of the recreation bu
reau, admitted that the ruler
treatment was being used at
some centers at the request of
youngsters there. "Extreme dress
is permissible in other centers
where such a dress is customary
in the neighborhood," he said.
Extreme dress, he said, leads
to poor behavior.
Mrs. Greeley contended, how
ever, that any such ruling de
feats the purpose of the centers.
The council took the question
under study.

I j Some of Truman's Pet Bills May
tBe Slaughtered Without a Vote
i'jF By JAMES MAKI.OW
! I Washington, Jan. 19 (IP) Some of President Truman's pro
Jfram may get slaughtered without ever coming to a vote.
!; This is because congressmen know more way of killing a bill
! than voting it down or trying to talk It to death.
I The house rules committee is giving a good example of that
:' Snow. First, a little history of
that committee.
IA great many bills are intro
duced in the house every year.
The house doesn't have time to
consider all of them.
: :.! Which shall it choos? Long
ago is set up a committee of its
j members called the rules com-
mittee.
l This committee was supposed
! to act as a funnel through which
I bills would be let out on the
J floor fc r debate and vote.
f If the committee wanted to
; kill a bill by refusing to let
' it out. that just about killed
it. It took a petition signed
by a majority of the house mem
J bers to pry loose a bill turned
down by the rules committee.
For many years there were
great complaints against this
kind of power given to one
3 little group of committeemen.
Along came the election of
President Truman in 1948 with
his Fair Deal proram and parti-
cularly that part of it which
promised new civil rights laws,
mostly for the benefit of negroes.
J Mr. Truman's Democrats won
control of the house, too. So
voting on a veterans' bonus.
But
If the rules committee where
the southern democrats and re
publicans outnumber the Tru
manites two to one wins its old
power, you can tell Mr. Tru
man's civil rights program good
bye this year anyway. The rules
committee wouldn't let it out on
the floor for a vote.
when this congress began its
session in January, 1949, the
Trumanites looked at the make
up of the rules committee.
There were 12 members on it:
Eight democrats and four repub
licans. But four of those eight
democrats were southern dem
ocrats.
If the four southern democrats
! tamed up with the four republl-
j cans, that would put the Tru-
f manite democrats of four in a
3 small minority. And
Any time the team of republl
! cans and southern democrats
I wanted to bottle up some of the
''Trumnti nrnomm nnH Vpen It
from a vote, they could just vote
in the committee to bottle it up.
Well, the mapority of the men
in congress decided they'd take
that kind of power away from
the rules committee. And the
house established a new rule
This was it:
If the rules committee has sat
on a bill for 21 days, it can be
called up in the house anyway,
The rules committee can't stop
it. This gives 435 members a
chance to decide whether they
want to pass the bill.
That's what happened in 1949
But now suddenly a majority of
the rules committee southern
democrats teaming up with re
publicans want their old power
back.
They voted the other day to
ask the full house to vote this
year on whether the rules com
mittee can have back its old
power to sit on a bill indefinitely
The rules committee may win.
in spite of President Truman's
protest over the maneuver. This
is one of the reasons:
There's a bill in congress to
give veterans a bonus. This
comes at a time when congress is
shouting economy.
If that bill gets out on the
floor for a vote since this is
the year when all 435 house
members must stand for re
election and face the voters on
their record a majority of the
house may vote for it through
fear of antagonizing the veteran
vote.
So, if the rules committee
could conveniently lit on that
bill provided the house gave It
back its old power to do so
this would save a lot of congress
men from the embarrassment of

Insect Sprays
Get Defense
Washington, Jan. 19 VP)
Insect SDravs are necessarv to
maintain production of fruits
and vegetables, agriculture de
partment scientists said Wednes
day.
Other methods of controlling
insects have been tried with
out materially reducing the need
for insecticides, they told a food
and drug administration hearing
called to determine whether the
sprays are harmful to consum
ers.
Dr. Bennet A. Porter. soeMnl
ist in fruit insecticides in the
bureau of entomology and plant
quarantine, said the . cost of
spraying is high, but growers
would go out of business if they
aian i use cnemicals.
Some apple growers, he said
spend more than $100 an acre
to control insects in their orchards.
Dr. Fred C. Bishopp, chief of
the bureau of entomology and
plant quarantine, said that the
alternation of various types of
insecticides would reduce health
hazards.
He added that insprfs tliAm
selves build up resistance to a
poison If the same type is used
continuously.
Dr. Bishopp agreed that in
secticides are man's most de
pendable defense against Insect
pests.
He said that food nrnrinrtinn
would drop and prices Increase
ii iney were not used.
The hearing, which began
Tuesday, is expected to last a
year. It was occasioned largely
by recent reports that the resi
due of chemicals on fruits and
vegetables mav he ranin hu
