Dictatorships No Bar to W News, UP Executive Says New York (U.R) Dictator ships thus far have not been able to suppress any really big news breaks, Earl J. Johnson, vice president and general news man' ager of the United Press, said Tuesday. "Of course censorship and oth er restrictions hamper our ef forts to get the news in many countries, but this is not a new development." Johnson said "There have been relatively few periods in the history of the U.P when we were not waging fight somewhere against news censorship or news suppression, The battle for freer access to news goes on constantly In all countries, including our own. Can Only Guess "We can only guess about many phases of life under the Communist dictatorships, but doubt that any genuinely big news breaks in those countries that does not soon leak across their borders. Border leaks are not a satisfactory way of cover lng news, but the veil can be penetrated and frequently Many world capitals are well known for their restrictive prac tices, and often their silence , speaks louder than words." ' Johnson said he did not mini- mize the difficulties of covering news abroad, but he thought it a mistake to magnify them to the point of public hand-wringing He urged that the press not give an impression of helpless sur render, but instead should em phasize what it has done and Is continuing to do to get the news regardless of difficulties.

Cordy, county ex tension agent in horticulture. This application, he continued, is principally for control of pear psylla but will also control Eu ropean red mite and green fruit worm. All varieties should be sprayed, he added, as pear psylla are abundant "nearly every where." Mixtures recommended are one pound of 25 per cent para thion or three-fourths pound of EPN a 100 gallons. "Thorough spraying is essential," Cordy pointed out. For speed sprayers he recommended the following: 6 pounds of parathion or 4V4 pounds of EPN an acre. One fourth pint spreader sticker for each 100 gallons is desirable. Cordy concluded that "EPN and parathion are very destruc tive to bees, so they should be removed from the area before spraying. Cultivating cover crops in bloom helps preserve native bees."
