Controversial Bills Awaiting Congress as Adjournment Nears Washington iU.R! Congress moved this week into what may be the final two weeks of its cur rent session. But before it ad journs and joins the rush to the political conventions, it faces ac tion on a number of controver sial bills. The House yesterday passed the compromise bill to authorize $,014,000,000 in foreign aid pending and debated the relat ed bill to put up $3,400,000,000 for the program. The appropria- Alfalfa, Ladino Crops Making Good Progress in Area Alfalfa and ladino clover crops. In the valley ar making good progress but are presently being watched for increasing populations of lygus bugs, al falfa weevil, and green aphid. County Agent W. B. Tucker said Monday that lygus bugs, especially dangeroirs in the young or nymph stage, are in festing some crops, causing blos som drop. Treatment Applied Treatment should be applied when there is found to be one lygus bug, adult or nymph, per sweep of the Insect net, Tucker said. He advised application of either DDT or toxaphene, using two pounds of actual material per acre. Generally, he explain ed, dust has been applied from airplanes, using a 10 per cent dust applied at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. Farmers can also use ground applicators with either liquid or dust spray and get equally good control of the bugs, according to the county agent. Spraying should be dona In the early morning. This, Tucker aid, ii to avoid wind drift and to have the chemical on the crop before the pollnatlng bees ar rive. The bees will remain away from a sprayed field until it is safe to return. Tucker emphasized that every part of a field should be cov ered by the spray. Portions left vnsprayed will act as a nursery for the bugs which will multiply and migrate to other sections. Alfalfa Weevil Some valley farmers have been troubled with alfalfa wee vil. Treatment for this Insect peet is either aldrin, using two ounces per acre, or heptachlor, using three-quarters to one ounce per acre. These are also effective in control of the weevil larva. Green or pea ahpid have been noticed in some fields, Tucker snid. The same spray as used for Alfalfa weevil can be used in controlling the aphid. If aphid alone are infesting a field, Tucker recommended mel athion, applying 12 to 15 pounds per acre of five per cent dust. tion measure is certain to pro voke a sharp floor fight. The Senate put aside legisla tion in order to eulogize the late Sens. Alben W. Barkley (D-Ky.) and Harley M. Kilgore (D-W.Va.). But the compromise foreign aid authorization bill is high on its agenda for the coming week. Big Legislative Backlog Congressional leaders antici pating an August adjournment date pointed to the amount of controversial legislation still awaiting Senate and House ac tion as the reason for their pes simism. The administration's Civil Rights Bill and legislation to au thorize federal construction of a high dam at Hells Canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border are al most certain to provoke heated House debate. Likely to die in the Senate are House-approved bills to raise postal rates and to provide pen sions for needy World War I veterans. i Also on the Senate "must" list is a House-approved bill to low er the Social Security benefit age for women from 65 to 62 and to permit totally disabled workers to start collecting bene fits at age 50. School Aid Seen The Senate also is expected to take up and to approve without much controversy a House-passed bill to provide $378,000,000 in federal aid to schools whose enrollment has been swollen by military installations and other federal activities. The money is for two years ending on June 30, 1958. The bill passed the House Saturday. An anticipated Senate drive to revive a general aid-to-educa tion bill is expected to run afoul of the segregation issue which led to the House defeat of the $1,600,000,000 school construc tion bill. Both the House and Senate have cleared all but a few of the appropriation bills to provide the funds for operating the govern ment in the fiscal year which began last Sunday. Oregon Jersey Cattle Club Slates Picnic The Oregon Jersey Cattle club will hold its annual state picnic Sunday, July 29, at Sunset Bay state park, 10 miles southwest of North Bend, according to Eay Measor, Beaver, president. A potluck meal will be served at noon. Two trophies will go to owners of cows with Highest . butterfat records during 1955 made under register of merit test and herd improvement reg istry test. The same cow cannot win both trophies. Shrine Parade May Draw Half-Million Detroit (U.R) More than half-a-million persons were ex pected to .crowd downtown De troit today as 50,000 Shriners marched in the first of two huge four hour parades. The Shriners are here for the 82nd annual session of the An cient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Police have ordered traffic re routed on the parade route and some 500 police officers have been assigned to traffic and pedestrian control. Chair Wass, general chairman of activities, said he expected 500,000 persons to see today's parade and at least .a million to view the second parade Thurs day. 24 Communicable Diseases Reported Twenty - four 'communicable diseases were reported to the Jackson county department of health during the week ending July 6, according to Dr. A. Erin Merkel, public health physician. Cases reported were measles 15, Ashland six, Medford four.

July 10, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HTKK Ambassadorial Talks With China Cost US Taxpayers About $20,000 Geneva (U.R) It hai cost the United Statei about $20,000 to keep the ambassadorial talks with Communist China going for more than 10 months. That'i ,an official estimate, which includei travel and per diem for the U.S. ambassador to Czechoslovakia, U. Alexis Johnson, who commutes from Prague for the Geneva talks, and his aides here; plus the American share of the small rental United Nations headquar ters charges for the committee room where the talks are held. It works out at less than $800 a piece for the 28 Americans re leased from China as a result of the negotiations. The cost per head is even less if you count in the 15 American fliers who came out just before the talks began, and whose release was influenced by the coming talks even though they were not strict ly within the orbit of the nego tiations on releasing civilians. "It's a pretty good investment, looked at that way," one Ameri can source remarked. Although the 28 released Americans are go far the only tangible result of the talks, the mere fact that the two sides keep on talking instead of shoot ing is regarded here as a major gain. And it looks as if they would go right on talking for many more months or until some high-level policy decision breaks the current deadlock. The weekly talks between Johnson and the Chinese Am bassador to Poland, Wang Ping Nan, have settled down into an unvarying routine. Nothing New For the first few weeks after they began Aug. 1, 1955, the talks were held every two or three, days. After that initial peak, the frequency of the meet ings declined. Altogether, in the last five months of 1955 there were only 18. The 50th session was held June 8. For nearly six months, In formed sources report, there has been absolutely nothing new in the talks themselves.- On Jan. 12, the U. S. laid on the table its second draft pro posal for a mutual declaration renouncing the use of force to settle disputes In the Far East and especially In the Formosa area. Two Chinese drafts were already on record. The four drafts are still there, and each LEGAL NOTICES ADVERTISEMENT FOR SEALED BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT SEALED BIDS FOR THE CONSTRUC TION OF a ix-clsroom addition to the Lone Pine School.

Noth ing new has been produced since then by either. Nor has there been any change on the "expeditious" release of the 13 Americans still in Chinese jails. Since Jan. 12 the two ambassa dors have gone round and round on the same two subjects at every one of their meetings, which have varied only in length from 90 minutes to five hours, lately averaging around two hours. Back And Forth At each session Johnson regu larly asks Wang what about the 13 Americans, and Wang regu larly explains that there are spe cial problems to be considered in their case because they are all serving long sentences for "ser ious crimes" (espionage and trea son), and many things have to be taken into account, Including their behavior In prison. (He never explains just what this means.) At each session, too, Wang complains to Johnson about American "violations" of the Sept. 10 agreement to release civilians. And Johnson patiently explains that any Chinese who wants to go home is free to do so, and reports once again that the Indian embassy charged by the agreement with repatriating Chinese from the United States, has never yet reported a single case of any Chinese claiming he has been prevented from return ing to China. When this subject Is exhausted, the two ambassadors go on to the "renunciation of force," and each repeats once again the basic arguments against the other's proposed drafts. They split on a single basic difference the Chinese insist that the "libera tion" of Formosa is an "inter national affair" not to be covered by the proposed declaration, and the Americans insist that the declaration must recognize "the inherent rights of individual and collective self-defense" in the area in other words, the right of American and allied forces to resist any invasion from the mainland. Catholic Daughters In Annual Convention Portland (U.R) Business ses sions of the 26th biennial con vention of the Catholic Daugh ters of America opened here yes terday. The sessions are sched uled to run five days. The convention officially got underway yesterday with a sol emn pontifical- high mass of thanksgiving at St. Mary's ca thedral. Workshop programs have been planned for the afternoon periods of the convention throughout the week. Dead line Sunday at noon Saturday. Classified to at When that subject is exhaust ed too, the meeting comes gent ly to an end. One of the ambas sadors raises the question of the date of the next meeting. Usual ly It. is set for the next week Occasionally one side, usually the Chinese, asks for a longer break "for administrative rea sons." (Both .participants have other responsibilities and may have to put in a protocol appear ance at some function at their home posts.) Ambassador Johnson told Unit ed Press in a television inter view last February that what was needed to deal with Com munists was "patience at well as perseverance." r r r n fZ i Bring your Commodity Credit Corporation loan to First National.
