UPI Telephoto ers Ask Cost Fiqures Of On Building Disputed TFX WASHINGTON IUPI Senate investigators have asked the Gen eral Accounting Office to deter mine once and for all which of two competing companies could F' luce the controversial TFX warplane at least cost. Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., chairman of the investigations subcommittee, said the GAO has been asked to make an "indcpend- , end review" of the cost standards prepared by the Air Force for the '. two versions which figured in the iTFX contract. J General Dynamics, the highest i. bidder, got the contract. Defense ' Secretary Robert S. McNamara has contended that Boeing's bid ' was unrealisticallv low and that . its version eventually would have 'jcost SI billion more. McCellan also said he has asked Boeing and General Dy namics to provide data on how " much it would cost to build four or five TFX models from each de Virtuous Housewife Must Brew Top Coffee By ANN LANDERS and my parents are going to a Dear Ann Landers: I have been elected by our neighborhood cof-'ee-breakers to write you this let ter. A woman who lives on our street is really a lovely person. She is in her early 30s. attrac tive and the mother of four children. Every day around lunch time the milkman stops at her house and stays anywhere from 30 mm sign and flight test them. The senator said that would be "the best way to get the best plane,' but added that the cost may make this plan unwise. In another development, it was disclosed that Gen Curtis LeMay Mr Force chief of staff, told the subcommittee that he was not consulted before a recommenda tion by an armed forces board favoring Boeing was overruled bv the Defense Department in favor oi General Dynamics. LeMay told the Senate investi gating subcommittee Thursday that he still thinks the Defense Department would have gotten the TFX "easier" with Boeing than with General Dynamics Corp. But ho has "no desire" now to contest the contract to GDC. Transcripts ot the general s testimony at closed hearing were released Friday. LeMay said he has not changed his mind substantially that Boeing THE DOCTOR SAYS Insecticide Peril Said Exaggerated 'By W. G. I1KANDSTADT, M.D. Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Let's set the record straight. :Some well-meaning writers have spread the alarm about the dan ger to man and animals arising from the use of insecticides and i pesticides. 1 would be the last person in the world to want to sec '..all forms of life vanish from the J face of the earth but I believe that such writers often do more harm than good through gross r ..exaggeration. " To imply, for example, that all . life, wild and domestic, is head J ed for prompt destruction, if -. farmers continue to use sprays to kill insect pests, is to ignore two important facts. First, farm " production of food for man and animals has increased to the 'point of embarrassing surpluses in countries where such chemi Jcals are used and. second, in those countries where they are 'not used, hunger is still a grim specter. Now let's take a closer look at what we are poisoning, lnsecti- cides are definitely poisonous, as anv insect would tell you if it 'ould, but properly controlled use has yet to injure a human being. Any substance can act as a " poison under certain circumstanc es. This was proved tragically "last year when several infants in a hospital died as a result of salt being used instead of suqar . in preparing their formulas. But who wmld be so foolish as to demand laws prohibiting Uie sale of salt? ' When insecticides are properly .t used no one gets hurt. When they are carelessly used, mere is serious hazard to Uie farmer who uses them not to the con sumers of the farmer's produce. Farmers today could not get the abundant yield of high quality grain, fruit and vegetables if they were denied the use of insecti cides. Residues of the commonest of these, DDT, are found on most foods. It is -true they have an affinity for the fatty tissues in the human body but they do not reach harmful concentrations and the body promptly eliminates them. Insecticides have gone a long way toward eradicating malaria and other insect-borne diseases from many parts of the world. The charge that pesticides are' upsetting the balance of nature has a hollow ring. Since time be- i gan. man has upset that balance so well. The pesticide threat to wild life is mild compared to that from automobiles tas the many birds and animals lying on , roads mutely testify. An even more serious threat to wild life is the clearing of woods and farmlands for new roads, airports and housing developments. The moral of all this is that conditions never stand still. If we are to survive w must not resist change but adapt to it. The Food and Drug Administra tion is doing a fine job- in pro tecting your health. This organisa tion was aware of the harmful po tentialities of pesticides over 15 years ago and they have not been twiddling their thumbs. They have formulated safeguards which are working very well. offered the ' better proposal but said he expects to get "a good weapons system" from the collab oration of armed forces experts and GDC. LeMay said he was "surprised" that the Pentagon civilian com mand over-ruled the recommenda tion for Boeing that grew out of (our source selection board stud ies by military experts particu larly that it was done "without consultation." There was no consultation in this case," La May told the Senate committee in explaining his sur prise when informed by Air Force Secretary Eugene Zuckcrt that General Dynamics had been chos en to develop the plane. LeMay said he did not consider this "nor mal procedure" because he had discussed other source selection board actions with Zuckert. LeMay said he believes the Gen eral Dynamics design "will be im proved" as work progresses be cause he said this is a normal result. But he said that if the production team started out to im prove both types, "I think you would arrive at the end much easier with the Boeing team than you would with the General Dy namics team. He said Boeing had "a much better idea" of what was required in this sort of airplane that they had a "more flexible system" and Better ideas. utes to an parked right in her driveway all this time. Those of us who know her are sure this woman has high moral standards and is a faithful wife, but we are afraid the less-trusting neighbors may get the wrong impression. Shall we talk to her and risk losing her friendship'.' Or shall we keep our snoots out of it and let her ruin her reputation and hurt her family?-THE LOYAL- ETTES Dear Loyali'ttes: Keep your snoots out of it. It may be that the milkman is a family friend and it may be that this woman makes the best coffee in the neighborhood. Dear Ann Landers: As one of your publishers I must disagree with one of your editors. I reler to the letter signed C. W. who ob jected to boys helping their mothers in the kitchen. The edi tor said kitchen work is for females. As vou so aptly put it. A n n. work knows no gender today. We have four boys in our family and it is clearly understood that they have to help with the "female" work because they cause so much of it. Our boys have never objected to helping. They just grew up knowing it was expected of them. Thev are not mama's boys, nor do they show any signs that they will turn out to be "yes men" to women. Instead they are all around kids who will be able to pitch in and help in any emer gency. You may print this as evidence that the members of the fourth estate are divided on this vital point in boy-raising R.G.K. Dear R.G.K.: I m not sure I enjoy being caught in the cross fire between an editor and a publisher yet, but I appreciate your support of my point of view. Thank you for writing.

The seven-man Army Corps of Engineers task force heard testi mony from citizens in the Linn County area in the second meet ing in a series of four Next meeting will be in Mc- Mmnville on April 9. It was the consensus of many that during slack water periods. stream flow is not sufficient for good irrigation to carry away wastes. A representative of the Santiam Game and Fish Association. Lee Bellows of Albany, asked that no more wastes be poured into the rivers and that things be cleaned up and kept that way One farmer stated that when the North Santiam reaches a cer tain stage it is very hard for farmers to get water from their wells for irrigation. Lud Hcyman, Albany, said, "it is apparent more water will be needed. In Linn County there are probably rent like many of yourlZBJ.W" irrigable acres, not count- fanoii-r euests. l'.S.
