HKHKKI.KY TOWER Mayor Wallace Johnson of Berkeley,
Calif., watches in foreground as a 144-foot tower is constructed
on the Berkeley waterfront. The mayor hopes the tower, put up
as a public service by the Scaffolding Co., will help the city
council and Berkeley citizens with a factual indication of what
height 15 stories is. Berkeley residents oppos; s 13-ilory apart
ment development on the waterfront because it will hinder their
view. Johnson says the tower will justify the council's deci
sion. (UPI)

We have laws, strict and rea-1
sonubly well enforced, to control
the use, sale or possession of
firearms. Yet we blithely ignore j
a material so deadly poisonous i
that a liny amount, carelessly I

One thing is for sure, the
pesky flies and other biting in

more. Perhaps the farmer that
owned them will nave learned
a lesson, for it cost him pretty
dearly. He was hit in a highly
sensitive area his pocketbook.
In fact his stupidity, or rail it

of money, and he foolishly killed
the entire herd.
He was a farmer in a south

wilh flies biting his cattle. A
beef animal, unduly bothered by
stinging insects, fails to put on
weight, and plumpness in beef
cattle is what brings in the
money when the animals are
sold. So the man shopped for
an insecticide, purchased a
quantity and prepared (or the
spraying.
Toxic Chemical
He mixed and stored the
chemical in an empty barrel
that he hurriedly washed out;
a container that about a year
ago, was filled with the chem
ical used as an insecticide
known as methyl parathion. This
toxic chemical, even though in
a small amount, mixed with the
spray. The mixture looked in
nocent enough, and the farci
manager, looked forward to fly
free cattle that would become
sleek and fat, without fly moles

animal after another, with a
pressure gun. Every one of the

Kennedy's Offer
Of Joint Moon
Effort Criticized
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Rep.
Katherine May (R-Wash.) sug
gested Wednesday the United
States might be sacrificinc a
military advantage for a propa
ganda advantage if it joins the
soviet union in an attempt to
put men on the moon.
To be first in propaganda but
second in defense could be fa
tal," Mrs. May said in a newsletter.
The Washington Republican
questioned President Kennedy's
proposal for a joint effort to
reach the moon, saying the Rus
sians could be expected to seek
military control of space while
"tying up" the United States in
the joint cxpendition.
Lend In Sliiikpilr
The Russians have scored
"spectacular" propaganda vic
tories in their space program
over the years, Mrs. May jaid.
But during those same yeaii,
she added, the United States had
maintained a lead in the stock
piling qf weapons.
We may have been second
in propaganda," she said, "but
we were first in defense."
She said she based her clouhts
of the wisdom of a joint U. S.-
soviet moon shot on views ex
pressed by Sir Bernard Lovell.
director of Britain's Jodrell bank
experiment station.
Lovell, Mrs. Mav noted, had
expressed belief the Russians
had given up the race to put a
man on tne moon and were con
centrating Instead on the as

said U. S. military experts had
suggested such a space platform

warheads to targets on the
earth.
ics into research agriculture, in
terstate taxes, banking and
some other matters. Extra al
lowances were provided for
members' official telephone and
telegraph bills and for stamps.
The added travel authority
touched off one of the sharpest
exchanges in recent House his
tory between Gross and Rep
Harold D. Cooley (D-N.C.) who
gave a spirited defense of legis
lative work trips abroad.
Terms Trip Junket
Gross asked for what purpose
members of the Agriculture
committee, of which Cooley is
chairman, were planning addi
tional travel. He noted acidly
that some of the members only
recently returned from a ses
sion of what he called "the
granddaddy of all junketing or
ganizations," the Inter-Parliamentary
Union, at Belgrade,
Yugoslavia.
This brought Cooley to his
feet with a roar. He said he
and about II) other House and
Senate members attended the
meeting and that everybody
worked hard.
"Why don't you go?" he de
manded of Gross. "Any member
can go. It's not a junketing or
ganization. We work. But you
just sit back here sniping, that's
all you do. If you don't want to
go shut up about it!"
Gross shot back that Cooley
ought to know, as he had attend
ed every session of the Inter
Parliamentary Union for the
past 15 or 16 years. "And I'm
going to continue to snipe," he
said.
With that, members laughed,
called the roll to establish a
quorum, and shoved through
the package of hills without rec
ord vote.
