Battle Against European Pine Moth Waged in Northwest Portland A battle is being waged in Oregon and Wash ington to stem the invasion of a pest which foresters fear could be as destructive and costly as the well known spruce budworm. So far, the new pest has not been found in native forests of the West only in land scape plantings and nursery stock and it is hoped that eradication can be accomplish ed before such infestation oc curs. the pest causing concern throughout the heavily tim bered Northwest is the Euro pean pine shoot moth. The states of Oregon and Washington with members of the Northwest Pest Control Council are engaged in the fight to control and eradicate the pine moth. The council is made up of representatives AMVETS COMMANDER Double amputee Harold Russell of Wayland, Mass., who was national commander of AMVETS for two terms in the early 1950, was elected to a third term during the AMVETS' 1900 national convention at Miami Beach Monday, Russell once starred in the Academy Award-winning motion pitcure, "The Best Years of Ou Lives."

President Urges Use of Rule of Law for Settling Disputes Between Nations Washington (tll'll - President Eisenhower, urging nations to adopt the rule of law to settle international disputes, Mon day urged repeal of a U. S. reservation restricting the jur isdiction of the World Court. The President told the American Bar association the reservation was a self-judging clause whose repeal "can not possibly hurt us." Known as the Connally amendment, the reservation allows this country to determ ine what disputes are domes tic matters and therefore not subject to settlement in the international court. Should Be Binding Eisenhower, who has fav ored repeal of the reservation for some time, told an over flow crowd of more than 2,000 ABA members and their wives that the rule of law among nations should be as binding as it is upon individ uals in any country He conceded the World Court docs not have the kind of enforcement powers avail able to Individual nations, But he said, "there is a mighty force behind It-world opin ion." Earlier, Sen. Harry F. Byrd told the attorneys the Su preme Court's "usurpation of power . . . has reached a peak" under Chief Justice Earl Warren. 'Subverting Trends' The Influential Virginia Democrat said this was one of three "subverting trends" menacing the U. S. govern ment. He listed the others as "increasing federal palcmnl ism" and "Increasing arro gance of labor leaders in their influence over federal author ities." Byrd launched his attack on the . supreme Court a few hours after Warren opened the bar association's 83rd an nual meeting. Byrd, chair man of the Senate Finance committee and a leader of the southern congressional bloc, was given the association's distinguished service award.

(UPI Telepholo) Continual Building Boom In New York Makes Role of Moving Man Very Important By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York-IUPII - The com mercial building boom that is continually changing the face of this city of s k y s crapers has increased the i m p o r tance of the the role of the moving man. M o v i n g a giant corpora tion from one b u i ldlng, in Henry Bechtoid many cases from a number of buildings, to its new home requires plenty of planning, practice and patience, with the em phasis on patience, according to officials of the Union Car bide Corp., which now is en gaged in the biggest corporate office moving job in New York's history. Union Carbide, working to gether with Neptune World- Wide Moving, is moving some 5.5 million pounds of furni ture and equipment to the giant chemical firm's new world headquarters on Park ave. here. When completed lale this year this task force opera tion will have taken 12 months to complete. Planning on this huge job began in De cember, 1959, with the first fleet of vans reaching the loading docks of die new 52- slory skyscraper this past March. Since Urn, day by day, furniture and equipment has been rolling in from 11 out-of-town locutions in as many 120 vans a week. But this long distance haul ing is only the forerunner of (ho local moving which pres ently has Union Carbide shut tling its office equipment from 14 scattered New York office buildings, , This local moving to con- solidale all operating divisions at 270 Park ave. usually is a weekend task since moving files, cabinets and typewrit ers has to Immediately pre cede the particular group of employees who move into the building the following Mon day mornirig. , This phase of the operalion requires up lo 275 men, 400 dollies and eight vans. Through osmosis the new building is being occupied by approximately 4,000 Union Carbide personnel who will eventually fill most of its 52 floors. When completed, the trans fer will have included 12,000 chairy, 3,800 desks, 6,400 files, 2,000 sheets of masonite to spare the dynel carpeting from damage while moving the furniture. Color Coding Chartering Ihc flow of fur niture is quite a job. Each piece is coded and then slot led for its respective space on each floor of the stainless steel and glass structure. A method of color coding divides each floor inlo six separate areas and every work, desk and file location is carefully charted. Each car ton and piece of equipment has to be pasted with a tag which bears a specific floor color code, area color code, location number and even file drawer number if neces sary. To round out the transition to modernism, the new Un- iuii mroicie Dunaing nas "the most modern telephone instal lation in the world," accord ing to a company spokesman The structure is the first commercial office building in mis city lo completely utilize the new telephone procedure ot direct inward dialings DID. This system allows outside callers to dial company ex tensions directly, by-passing the central switchboard. It is estimated that DID will save about 28 seconds on each in coming call. Another Phone Feature Closely allied with this new dialing system is another tele phone feature called "se quence numbering." Under this procedure many lines are arranged in numerical order so that when a number called is busy, the equipment auto matically rings the higher number, which most likely would be that of the person's secretary or assistant. Another aspect of Union Carbide's new look in tele phone communications is the building's "LL 1-2345" ex change,, which is one of the first in Manhattan to switch from the usual first two let ters of such names as Mur ray Hill or Plaza. The "LL" prefix does not stand for anything, and Un ion Carbide officials expect that all New York exchanges eventually will change to this type of identification or to all numeral identification. jit : 12S mm years of A Wj SoUAO,'!!' W ST7K m $025 $C00 Pt. ql uroon THE 0U CROW DtST. CO., FRANKFORT, KY, KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY, 86 PROOF from state and federal agen cies and private organizations. "On-the-ground" organiza tions such as garden clubs and nurserymen's groups are do ing an excellent job in sur veying for detection of the in sect, a forest service official said. Primary responsibility for the detection survey program rests with the Oregon state board of forestry and the Washington state department of natural resources. Dozens of other agencies, groups and firms are cooperating. The program involves showing slides and specimens and dis tribution of brochures at meet ings of garden clubs, civic groups, and elsewhere. The pine shoot moth has been in the eastern United States since 1914 and has been reported in British Co lumbia on several occasions since 1927. However, the moth was not detected in the wes tern United States until 1959. It was found in landscape plantings and some nursery stock in the Seattle area. Later it was found in one nursery and a landscape plant ing at Spokane on stock brought from Seattle. Action has been started on quarantine measures to pre vent movement of pines into this part of the country from any known place of infesta tion. After completion of sur veys this fall, the state of Washington will start a pro gram to eradicate the mom in the Spokane area and a control program with the hope of eradication in the Se attle area. The moth has not yet been found in Oregon, and it is hoped the current surveys will not reveal infestation. Coop erative survey reports will be collected by the Washington department of natural re sources and Oregon state board of forestry up to Sept. 15. The data will then be summarized and included in a comprehensive report to the Northwest Pest Action Coun cil at its annual fall meeting in October. The shoot moth is primarily a pest of young, small trees such as those used in home and commercial landscape. Mugho, red and Scotch pines are attacked most severey. Pondrosa pin has ben at tacked elsewhere in the Unit ed States but little is known about its susceptibility to at tack and ability to withstand injury in its native environ ment. Foresters are fearful the moth may infest our na tive pine forests and do un told damage. Sawdust . S&H GREEN STAMPS Medford Fuel Go. Tel. SP 2-21 11 Court 4 McAnJ.
