Washington A Senate com

what appears to be the perplex-
ingly emotion
al job of se
1 e c ting the
five greatest
men who have
ever sat in
that august
chamber.
Because of
rivalries b e -tween
states,
between par

ties, between men of deep phil
osophical dinerence, tne iasK
seems to most observers im
mensely difficult. What the com
mittee perhaps should do first,
under the chairmanship of Sen
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who
author of the best seller "Pro
files of Courage," is read a more
recent book which this past
week was received by every
member of the Washintgcn press
rorps .
This book reveals that down
in the Dominican Republic, the
lawmakers never have any trou
ble whatsoever deciding who is
the greatest man ever to walk
uDon their native soil. He is. of
course. Generalissimo Rafael L.
Trujillo, the hero of this slick
ly covered edition.
Greatest of All
Not once but time and time
again, the Dominican legislators
have passed laws, decrees, reso
lutions and ordered special med
als struck for the great man. As
a result, this man of humble be
ginning, is today:

Legislature
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Senate has deferred action on
Senate bill 301, which would
give the public utility commis
sioner authority to regulate rail
road minimum freight rates as
well as maximum, and made it a
special order of business for
10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Also postponed was action on
Senate bill 254, relating to the
assessment and taxation of prop
erty. It was made a special order
of business for 2:30 p.m. Wednes
day on motion cf Sen. Walter
Pearson, who said the Senate
Taxation Committee of which he
is chairman wanted to take one
more look at it before taking
final floor action.
Salem (U.R) A drastically al
tered relative responsibility bill
has passed the House and was
sent to the governor for signa

1515, passed in 1938.
"Father of the New Nation,"

1955.
He was already "benefactor of
the country" for life, by a 1937
resolution, not to mention 50.
other honors passed during the
"era of Trujillo."
The Trujillo biography tells a
lot about the Dominican dicta
tor and it shows him to be as
pure as the white uniform in
which he is pictured. For exam
ple, one learns that at age 27,
when he applied for a commis
sion in the constabulary guard,
Trujillo could boast that "I do
not smoke or drink and have
never been arrested even for
minor infractions of the law."
Wsuld Be Unjustified
A major general who wrote
the book's foreword started by
declaring: "I had to muster all
my courage in order to write the
foreword of a book as important
as this one, despite my limited
ability to do so. This audacity
of mine would be unjustified and
would deserve whatever criti
cisms might be forthcoming,
were it not for my pure senti
ments of loyalty and the enor
mous gratitude which I feel" for
Trujillo. After two pages in this
vein, he said he will reserve his
sentiments for a book of his own
entitled, "Why I Love Trujillo."
The Washington press corps,
which is subjected to many at
tempts every day to promote this
cause or that individual, knows
a slick promotion at sight. The
consensus is that Trujillo fears
for his reputation in the United
States as result of the public in
dignation over the Galindez and

Democrat, said the bill was
"next door" to repealing the cur
rent act but said the welfare
committee thought the more lib
eral law should be kept on' the
books.
Salem (U.R) A more limited
urban renewal bill passed the
House with only two negative
votes after the State and Federal
Affairs Committee removed
parts of the bill that caused it to
fail on the House floor April 18.
The bill, House bill 661, still
provides that any Oregon city
or county can initiate urban re
newal programs with the aid of
federal funds to clear their slums
and rehabilitate blighted areas.
Salem (U.R) Licensing of
auctioneers and setting up of a
State Board of Auctioneers was
provided for in House bill 567
which has passed the House.
The bill passed despite law
yers, objections that it was un
constitutional because it set out-of-state
auctioneers fees at $250
a year while it taxed state res
idents only $50.

This could result in action to clip

The Caribbean Library, a New
York agency which circulated
the book, sought to explain its
shameless adulation of Trujillo
by saying this "expression of
joy" is felt to be necessary by
his countrymen and to deprive
his people of a legitimate pleas
ure to save himself embarrass
ment would be falsely hypocrit
ical. For that matter, adulation
of arather lavish variety flour
ishes in the U.S. where it is of
fered quite shamelessly to Ike

the whole Yankee ball team."

Residents Urged
To Obtain Data
About Mosquitoes
Residents of . Jackson county
are being urged to obtain as
much information as possible on
control mosquitoes. '
In addition to being a nuis
ance, mosquitoes, are a health
hazard for humans and some
animals. County Agent W. B.
Tucker points out. Some species
are carriers of diseases.
Bulletin Suggested
Experiment station bull etin
507, "Suggestions for Mosquito
Control in Oregon" is a good
source of information, Tucker
said.
The bulletin ' points out that
any water remaining in 'a con
tain for 10 days or longer may
be a source of supply for brood
ing mosquito larvae. Fish or lilly
ponds, drainage areas for swim
ming pools or infrequently used
water troughs may be a suitable
place for mosquito larvae dev
elopment. Poorly drained soils
that permit water to stand in
pools along stream banks or res
ervoirs and heavy clay type soils
that are inadequately leveled or
smoothed and permit potholes
of standing water are constant
sources of spread.
Temporary Control
Chemical t r e atment of im
ponded water or fog applica
tions' over mosquito infested
areas offer only tempoary con
trol, Tucker said. Real control
can be secured only through an
improved water management
program. Such a program per
mits all surface soils to be hand
led in such a way that surface
water is not permitted to re
main standing for more than 10
days.
Irrigation ditches and field
laterals that are constructed on
grade and are maintained free
of cattails or grass weed growth
that retard water movement of
fer no hazards in mosquito con
trol, according to the county
agent.
May To Be Warmer
In Western Stales
Washington (U.R) The Wea
ther Bureau forecasts cooler than
normal temperatures over the
eastern third of the nation dur
ing May, except in states border
ing the Gulf of Mexico.
Above normal temperatures
were predicted for the western
half of the country, except for
the far Southwest which will ex
perience below normal mercury
readings. .
The bureau noted that the May
temperature pattern was a "ma
jor reversal" from conditions
during the last two weeks of
April.
Precipitation is expected to be
subnormal over most of the coun
try, compared to the generally
wet weather of April. However,
above normal amounts were fore
cast for the northeast and far
Southwest.
The bureau said rains in cen
tral and eastern Texas, which
have been abnormally heavy, are
expected to taper off to near or
subnormal.

Washington 0J.fi) The

pressed budget from the con

Arthur Larson, director of the
U. S. Information Agency, took
his case for restoration of a 26
per cent cut in his propaganda
agency before the politically
conscious National Press club.
Secretary of State John Fost
er Dulles went before a Senate
appropriations subcommittee to
plead for restoration of "the ma
jority" of a $47 million cut in
his department's $227 million re
quest for the 12 months start
ing July 1.
The Senate subcommittee con
sidering State Department and
USIA funds is headed by Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas. He told news
men Monday his group will give
a careful hearing to administra
tion reasons for restoring the
State Department cuts.
But he made it clear the case
must be convincing because "I
have never seen the demand so
strong for economy in govern
ment." The brush turkey or mould

Streptococcal Bacteria Sampling
Shows Little Sign of Catastrophe
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Careful
testing of a widespread samp
ling of the steptococcal bacteria
has revealed little sign of a cat
astrophe which many medical
scientists fear is coming sooner
or later.
The testing showed these sick
ening, even killing, bacteria still
are highly susceptible to the 11
antibiotics in common use. If
and when streptococci and other
sickening bacteria lose this sus
sceptibility, the cat astrophe
will be at hand.
It will put people back where
they were before antibiotics
were discovered, that is, highly
susceptible themselves but inad
equately defended to the diffi-cult-to-treat
and dangerous bac
terial illnesses.
How that could happen is for
bacteria to learn to multiply
themselves despite antibiotics.
Races of these "resistant" bac
teria have appeared but in bac
terial tribes other than the strep
tococci, which show it can hap
pen and gave rise to fears of all
bacteria learning how.'-
Drs. Wilfred F. Jones Jr. and
Maxwell Finland of Harvard
and Harry A. Feldman of the
State University of New York,
Syracuse, isolated 394 different
strains of streptococci from pa
tients. These they cultivated in
laboratory dishes.
To each dish of each strain
they added an antibiotic in a
tiny amount and kept increasing
the amount until bacterial act
tivity was stopped. This they re
peated with each strain with
each of the 11 antibiotics. In
this way they established the
range of susceptibility of each
strain to each antibiotic

Ten of the 11 were more or
less uniformly affective against
all strains. The 11th, bacitracin,
was less effective against the
group B. C. and G. streptococci
than against those of group A.
The scientists put the 10 gen
erally effective antibiotics In
the following order of effective
ness: Results Compared
Penicillin, erythromycin, car
bomycin, oxytetracycline, chlor-tetrs-cycline,

But of most interest was their
comparison of these results with
the results of identical tests
with strains of streptococci is
olated in 1949. This comparison
showed that the newer strains of
the bacteria were "somewhat
less susceptible" than the 1949
strains had been to penicillin,
chlortetracycline, chloramphen
icol, and bacitracin. The power
of streptomycin and polymyxin
was not changed. The other an
