NICHOLS United Preaa Feature Writer Washington, May 17 (U.R) H. C. Howells is a wine lover. He had a story to tell, and the house agricultural committee aajaaa was willing 10 listen in pri 1 vata. Sum and sub stance of his testimony was that he though Americans are not gulping enough wine. "I was raised on the stuff," he said, raising the brows of the dignified committee. tUrmxn NiekaU The witness was asked if he had any connection with the wine business. He said he cer tainly did not. He said he was head of a wine lover's organiza tion, with no money or free wine attached. Nothing else. But, said he: "Americans drink only one fifth of a gallon of wine per year per head. That's disgrace ful. In Europe they drink almost 12 gallons a year per person." Howells, who looked like a thinker, said he had been doing a lot of thinking. Idea Came Into his train of thought, he said, came an idea. Why doesn't our government come up with a wine-coordinating office within the agricultural department? Something to encourage people to drink more table wine. Then he quoted an old Euro pean proverb: "Wine is the enemy of alco hol." The witness told the startled committee that he was not so much interested in prodding the country into more drinking as he was in improving our econ omy. If the federal government would get back and shove the wine industry, he said, we'd be better off. As it is now, he said, the vine-gardeners are beset with problems like interstate trans portation, state and federal regu lations governing advertising, sale and taxation of wine. If the American people would lay off the other stuff and start drinking wine, Howells said, we might get up to the European consumption. Could Plant Mora Grapes "We could plant 2,500.000 more acres of grapes," he said. "These grapes could and would thrive in soil depleted by other crops, and planting them would reduce the expense to taxpayers on government subsidies. "We could put a million more people to work. We could add $3,500,000,000 to the national wealth each year. The federal government would be richer each year by S270 million in new taxes. I don't know how much the states would pick up in taxes because of the confused laws on wine taxes, but it amounts to an average of 26 cents a gallon." Howells was a little tired by the time he finished his testi mony, but he was able to answer a few questions. He said he'd spent a few years of his child hood abroad. His mother was half-French and wine was part of the daily diet. Howells him self has six children. They were raised on wine although they like milk, too. Since no legislation is in volved the committee didn't say how it feels about Howells' ideas. Reservist Plans Told Rofarians By Local Officer Thirty-four cents out of every dollar paid by American tax payers goes to national defense, and this staggering cost is likely to increase next year, MaJ. Jack Crawford. Medford business man and army logistical officer, stated Tuesday. Speaking at a luncheon meeting of the Medford Rotary club at the Jackson hotel. Major Crawford warned that an aggres sor nation may, at its own choice of time and place, strike a crip pling blow with the latest mod ern weapons. America's sweeping i reserve program is designed to ready the country for any in stant emergency, he said. He reminded Rotarians that one nation is seeking to impose its will, both economically and politically, upon the world, and that nation seems not-content to stop short of world domination, willing if necessary to pay the cost in blood. Feature of Week The address was a feature of National Defense week, currently being observed and Armed Forces day Saturday, May 20. This year the reserve groups are seeking to familiarize the public with the nation's state of defense and encourage attention to the various unified services. Since demobilization in late 1945 and 1946, there has been continued reserve activity in the Medford area, Major Crawford said. The first reserve unit to achieve recognition by the de partment of the army has been the 382nd quartermaster battal lion. Announcement has been made of the activation soon of a logistical command located here, with a staff of approximately 56 officers. These units will com prise an important part of the mobilization day army force from this area. At the present time the United States M-day fighting forces in clude six regular army divisions and nineteen national guard di- Wedneiday. Mar IT. 150 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Roosevelt School To Hold Annual Roundup The Parent - Teacher associa tion-sponsored summer roundup for five and six-year-old. children who will enter Roosevelt school next September will be held at the school's gymnasium Friday, May 19, at 9 a.m. The children will be given a health checkup and an opportunity to become acquainted with the school build ing. Purpose of the summer round up is to discover any health de fects which need to be corrected before the child enters school, if he has not received an examina tion from his own family doctor. Notices have been sent home with the school children advis ing parents of the roundup, though it is pointed out that any child entering school next fall for the first time is eligible to at tend whether or not parents have received a notice. The executive board of the Roosevelt association will be present to show children around the school and will give each child attending a treat. Those assisting the doctor and school nurse with registrations will be Mrs. Orbin Cooksey, Mrs. Earl Swanson and Mrs. Allan Perry.

G. Gentner, entomologist at the southern Oregon branch ex periment station, and C. B. Cor dy, county agent for horticulture, today announced in a joint state ment that the first cover spray for codling moth control on pears and apples should be completed on June 1. They advise the use of one and a half pounds of 50 per cent DDT per 100 gallons. Where speed sprayers are used, they suggest seven pounds per acre on pears and 10 pounds per acre on ap ples. If mites are present, Cordy and Gentner said orchardists should use either parathion, one pound per 100 gallons or five pounds per acre; TEPP, one-sixth visions, with similar organiza tions in the air force, navy, ma rines and coast guard. The speak er emphasized the great savings to taxpayers resulting from the reserve program over the cost of maintaining a similar establish ment of regular fighting men. Plans underway for a civilian defense set-up for this and other areas in Oregon were pointed out by Major Crawford. Major Fin gerhut, reserve instructor in this district, was a guest at the meet ing and Col. Cliff Lovejoy was chairman. Rep. Giles French, a member of the legislative interim tax study committee in Medford Tuesday, spoke briefly concern ing the forthcoming reapportion ment measure to be considered by voters next fall. Passage of this measure would strengthen local government in Oregon and would keep the state's repre sentation at Salem in alignment with the development and re sources of the entire area instead of concentrating power in a sin gle metropolitan district, French said. He was introduced by Frank J. Van Dyke. President Jimmy Dunlevy re ported briefly concerning the As toria district conference of Ro tary last week. pint of 40 per cent or one-third acre.
