So, I am sure all this fuss couldn’t b? over a traf fic citation given to someone. Xo, it couldn’t be! By Tio means will the House and Senate limit their work on environment legislaion to those recommendations for new laws by the White House. Ehten If this were the case, though, an enor mous assortment of pollution and enviroranental legislation has ml- r-tf-iy be«i requested by the President suid these i>lans are re ceiving high priority on Capitol Hill. On February 8, the Presi dent sent to Congress a broad outline of those measures he feels are essential If we are to win the nation’s -battle against pollution. This is, of course, not a new bat tle since the Ctongress has al- retuly •written strong laws in the national effort now under way. Experience with the anti-pollu tion programs and the magnitude of the problem show us that more ne^ds to be idone. The many parts of the Presi dent's message have now b en broken apart and, to date, fif teen specific bills that s, ek to carry out his plans have been written. ”111680 'bills, in turn, have been referred to sev.n commit tees which will now consider th(m in detail, rewrite the legis lation as a result of the commit tee findings, and report the re- vlsdj bills to the House. Among the new proposals ur ged by the President are wide ranging programe to broaden controls over water and air pol- luticMi, measures to deal with dumping In the oceans, insecti cide and poison controls ami pol lution caused by both surface and underground mining opera tions. In addition, the White ifou-se message recommends now '.cgislation '.dealing with the loca tion of pow.r ^anbs, greater planning for the use of land, ad ditional parks and an expanded wildc-mess system. Th se new plans recognize the special problems that are being caused by -the need for waste treatment plants in the country's cities and towns. Funds for these local projects are inadequate and often unavailable. To meet this crisis in pollutioin, a program of grants over three years costing $6 billion is planned. Bledsoe Rites Are Conducted Local Students On Dean's List The House Committee on Ag- rioulture is already well into its study of pesticide control legis lation. As the hearings progress, it is clear that Ih ■ use of insecti cides is an essential part of foe min'g altiiou-'h it is eciually clear that the indlsor-iminatc and un wise us. of tl'.ese substances must be checked. Otlier forms of insect control I based on biologic il factors which leave no polli tion r sidues ajid • do no haiPm to animal or human life have also received eonaider- able attention. We are only be ginning to explore the value of these alternative methods of In sect control. However, there will be a high priority given to re search in this field which will al low us to zero in On specific In sects that destroy crops and tim- i)er without having to resort to the broa'dside uoe of poisonous insectWdes with all of their harmful side effects. As these many plans for pollu tion abatement and control arise in the Congress during the next two years, they will be discussed GBOVHS — Milum Bledsoe, K), of Rt. 1, died unexpectedly at 5 ajm.
