A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. 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

Codling Moth Spray
Advised by June 1
L. 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.

ported briefly concerning the As
