Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark.,

been asked to make an "indcpend-

prepared by the Air Force for the

Dear Ann Landers: I have been

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

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.

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.
