RACKETEERING vAz Tiie same newspaper this week told of federal government eflurls to prosecute Jimmy Hoifa «aid tiiat tiie administration hud prob ably found a way to pass some more legislation through t h e house. Methods described to ac complish tiie latter was by exert ing pressure on congressmen over the new Judgeships, election aids, etc. Tiie sole point of this editorial is to state thut tiie methods used by the administration to obtain congressional support for its leg islation which Is not favored by congress is identical with the me- tiiods used by Jimmy Hoffu to get Ids way in tiie teamster's organ ization an<l with employer!. Tiie only difference is perhaps in the kind of threats; Hoffa’s may l»e more physical and tiie adminis tration's more political. Tiie des truction of thq victim by one means or another is threatened to accomplish the purpose. That is racketeering, That is gangsterism. ABOUT NEGROES HOUSING BILL Probably no Sherman Countian expects to get anything from the housing hill, just made into law. Maybe They could lie for It with out hope of sharing In its bene fits. Maybe not. It is not inconceivable thrt some one in this county could borrow from the federal govern ment to build a home. But the restrictions have always been such that the government does not lend in small towns. Some elders might eventually go to live in apartments financed through one feature of the law, but Oregonians are building such housing pretty fast without bene fit of Kennedy. In fact, the law was not design ed to help folks like us. It Is far city people primarily. Building contractors will get the greatest benefit and the material sup pliers. The lumber Industry may he helped although other material Is favored for big city building. A good part of the huge pile of money will go to building housing for the low rent group. They will lie subsidized and their votes assured in theory—maybe in reality. Tills administration has not read enough history. Psychology or philosophy to realize that a fair percentage of any population id always in need of help if it is to keep up with the others The more comfortable it Is made in its condition the longer it will remain there.

These include; Pink Fav orite, Sarabande, Super Star, Buc caneer, First Love and Queen Elizabeth. Three varieties used in spray trials at OSU are extremely sus ceptible to rose powdery‘mildew: Nocturne, Poinsettia and White Knight. While studying effectiveness of chemicals on ros mildew, they found that black spot disease also was controlled quite well by Ac tidione, Mildew King, Phaltan, and sulfur spray when this di sease was not severe. Phaltan dust and sulfur dust gave some control, but not enough. And Karathane gave practically no control of black spot.
