WASHINGTON, D. C. — Prime
Minister Attlee’s visit to W ash
ington is somewhat overshadowed
by the multi-sided efforts which
are being made here to achieve
peace on the labo.r-management
front. The British prime minister
came to the United States primar
ily to try to reach some agreement
with President Truman on the
disposal of atomic bomb informa
tion. But, although that subject
is one of worldwide importance,
officals here seem to be more im
mediately concerned with our pro
blem of getting industry back in
to full production and avoiding a
depression.
Mr. Attlee proposes that
the secret of the atomic bomb
be put under the control of
the security council of the
United Nations, but that sug
gestion is meeting with a
rather cool reception here. A
second proposal of the British
which appears to be more ac
ceptable to our leaders, is
that the United States be ap
pointed custodian of the
bomb secret 'but that its use
be entirely under the diiect
ion of the council.
Efforts to have the bomb ban
ned as an instrument of wav, with
all nations pledging not to use it.

seem to be considered impractical j
by most members of our govern-1
ment. The feelings of many of
them were expressed by Senator
Johnson of Colorado when he ask
ed: ‘‘If it is possible to outlaw the j
bomb, why not go the whole step
and outlaw war?”
Developments aimed at settling 1
our labor problems include: (1) A
conscientious effort on the pal t
of those attending the labor-man
agement conference here to make
the conference a success—-to end
it some concrete proposals which
will really result in greater har
mony;' (2) The insistence of Presi
dent Truitmn, in his talks with
leaders oflabor and management,
to show the world that we can
brine about economic stabilization
on the home front; (3) the action
of the House ot Representatives
aimed at repeal of the Smith-Con
nally act and substitution of legis
lation which would penalize stok
ers and curb the political activities
of Unions and (4.) the statistics
released by Secretary Wallace
purporting to show that industry
in general can afford to raise pay
10 per cent and that the automo
bile can afford to raise pay 15 per
cent without necessitating price
increases.
With labor problems now being
analyzed from so many different
angles, there is considerable op
timism here that the strikes which
threatened to disrupt out whole
reconversion program may poss
ibly he avoided.
The joint committee on in
ternal revenue taxation will
toon releasr a report showing
that billion* of dollars of un
taxed income, including the
income of tax-exempt organiza
tions such as labor unions and
co-operatives, it costing the
federal government a hugh
sum of money. When the re
port is released, it is expected
that legislation may be intro
duced to tighten up on the
regulations governing tax ex- !
eruptions.
In addition to organizations I ,
which are legally tax exempt, the j i
treasury is also having difficulty j ,
in collecting millions of dollars in i ,
personal income taxes which, year I t
after year . go unreported. Point- |
ing out there ai e many in small
as well as large income brackets j |
who ‘‘get around” the tax. a trea- t
sury official used as an example ,
the waiters in lestaurants who, al. .
though they make their money t
from tips, report only their actual .

During the next year the whole
tax situation will he re viewed and
many radical changes in taxation
methods are expected to result
The new tax hill for 1046 is con
sidered a stop-gap measure aimed
at reducing taxes for the coming
year hut without attempting to re
vise taxing methods.

But to catch up on held orders for service and to make
replacements that were necessarily postponed during
the war will require very large additions to our telephone

It is a tremendous construction job that will require
much time to complete even after the delivery of equip

when all orders will be filled. There are places where
we have complicated switchboards to install, even places
where we must build new buildings or building additions
to house new switchboards.

I have heard so many conflicting
dories about the powers of DP I
_the new insecticide which helped
vin the war—that I decided it was
ime to look up the facts and find
>ut just what we can expect di
hloro-dipheny 1-trichoroet hane to
lo for us.
lluinig the war this supper in
■ect killci was used indiscriminate
y to rid invasion spots of an;
tchy or bitey' or germ-carrying
uig that might succumb to it.
A lien it was sprayed on the beach*
;s at Okinawa and Saipan, the
narines weren't interested in
.whether it would harm vegetation
„• kill animals — their whole in
erest was in making the invasion
easier for our men. But when we
consider DPT for civilians, we are
,'itally interested in its effect on
ill forms of life.
From what I have been able
to find out, DDT isn’t as
dangerous as some of the ru
mors indicate. For instance, it
won’t hurt human beings un
less they swallow a fair-sized
quantity of it unless they go
out of their way to apply it to
their skin. But it does have
poisonous qualities and
should be handled with a nor
mal amount of precaution.
As for the insects it will kill,
ests have shown that it means
■ertain death to flies, mosquitoes,
el-miles, fleas, lice, bedbugs. Japa
nese beetles, a number of vegeta
>le and fruit insects, and, unfor
unately. honeybees. It is some
vhat effective hi killing cock
-oaches and moths, but not too
ure for them, and it doesn't seem
■ven to worry certain nuisance in
eets, such as the Mexican bean
lectle.

IDT is not particularly harmful to !

from these pests. Whether it can
.. eiitually wipe flies and niosqui
, oes froni the face of the earth is
niil a question, hut from now on
. here is no reason to have them m
your- house or barns.
It is true that it_ can be effective
if put in paint, but that appears to
hie somewhat of a wasteful proces
—since it needs only be on the sur
face where a fly or mosquito
would light.
That rumor about DDT
possibly depopulating the
world of bird life shouldn’t
be taken too seriously. Nor
should the one about DDT en- j
dangkring p.ollinii^ tion and
leading to the gradual end of
fruit and vegetables. Our
scientists are smart enough
to guard against those possi
bilities—and DDT will only
be recommended for gardens
and fruit solutions which will
not harm necessary insects
and birds'. If used without in
struction,DDT might do great
harm—but no farmer it going
to be foolish enough to use it
until experiments have prov
ed how it can be used safely.
FARMERS . . .warning
DDT is available in both pow
der and liquid form. When used
oil people or dogs, tne powuei
form is recommended, but for1
fightine flies, mosquitos, etc., a li-j
quid spray is best. I
There is still a lot of expert-1
menting to be done with DDT. j
Dr. Paul Mullet of Switzerland,
who discovered the insecticidal
properties of this compound,
thinks it is possible that it will
eventually free the world of
germ-carrying' insects and be sup
plied in forms which will rid us
of “bad” insects and be harm
less to “good” insect*. But that
may be a long timP off.
Farmers will probably use DD f
solutions more and more from
now on. By next spring some far
mers are expected to mix it with
their soil in order to get rid of
certain harmful insects. It is
found that DDT is about 10U
times as effective as lead arse
nate for this purpose—and only
15 pounds of DDT are needed per ;
acre to do an effective job. I
But farmers are warned not to I
use it ag a general spray with
out instruction and until further
l esearch has been completed. They
have managed to get along with
out DDT until now, and there is
no use taking chances with it
until its potential dangers have

The martyrdom of Stephen and
persecutions of Christ wins in Jem
salem had served to scatter the
disciples abroad and spread the
gospel farther. From Cyprus and i
Cvrene certain Christians had
goile to Antiocli and preached Je- ■
sus into the Greeks there. When I
tho Jerusalem church heard of j
this, the leaders sent Barnabas to j
Antioch. He soon went to Tarsus!
for Saul—upon his return to Anti

was begun in that city which at

in its history when the disciples l
“were called Christians first in

In sending Bainabus to Antioch,
