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

. butterfat records during 1955
made under register of merit
test and herd improvement reg
istry test. The same cow cannot
win both trophies.

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

side still insists on its own. 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.

the Chinese, asks for a longer
