THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SErflUWCCKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section O Thursday, September 28, 1961 Eastern Nebraska Rootworms Less Resistant Chemically LINCOLN-Unlvcrslty of Ne braska tests show a wide vari ation in the degree of insecticide resistance between corn root' worm beetles in the south cen tral as compared to those in eastern Nebraska. Althounh many persons felt that corn rootworms in south central Nebraska have devel oped resistance to aldrin and heptachlor, there was no scien tific proof until these tests were conducted. Dr. Harold Ball and Dr. Oer t aid Workman, University ento mologists, collected some 10.00C corn rootworm beetles at Hend erson and Ashland for the test They collected the beetles from corn fields with a revamped vacuum cleaner powered by a portable generator. After collecting the beetles, they fed the insects corn silks until the test began. The scien tists used a special micro appli cator to make a surface applica tion of 150 of a drop of chemical mixture on each rootworm beetle. They found that it took 150 to 250 times as much aldrin or hep tachlor to kill rootworm beetles obtained at Henderson as com pared to those obtained at Ash land. "We couldn't believe it at first, but additional tests consist- PIONEER THEATRE NEBRASKA CITY Thurs. - Fri. - Sat., Sept. 28 - 29 - 30 ORSON WELLES mmm. T M d ' K DAVID 1ANSSEN - PAni PAGE V3-4 . i.

In an effort to obtain further proof, the scientists applied dia zinon to corn rootworm beetles from both locations. They found it took about the same amount ol diazinon to kill the beetles from Henderson and Ashland. Since diazinon has not been used extensively to date, this test gives additional proof that the beetles at Henderson had de veloped resistance to aldrin and heptachlor. Dr. Ball reports that many in sects have developed resistance to chemicals over the years. Be tween 1908 and 1945, 13 species ol insects and ticks developed re sistance to various chemicals. As early as 1908, scale Insects In the state of Washington devel oped resistance to lime sulphur. Since World War II, 137 differ ent species of insects and ticks have developed resistance to various chemicals. Right after World War II, the house fly developed resistance DDT, BHC, chlordane and dield rin. During the Korean War, body lice developed resistance to chemicals. "Many times insects develop resistance as a result of chem ical treatments that do not con tain dosages large enough to kill the insects," Dr. Ball said. "Once this occurs, the insects reproduce and future gener ations are resistant to the chem ical." The checking of rootworm re sistance to chemicals is just one pha.se of the University's re search program being conducted to find some means of control ling corn rootworms which have caused extensive damage to south central Nebraska corn fields in recent years. Dr. Week man is continuing to check some 800 plots in south central Ne braska where he applied 110 dif ferent control measures in 1961. In addition to making insect counts, he is obtaining data on yields and lodging. At the present time, it appears that diazinon granules in the row at planting time will give effective control of corn root worms. However, a recommen dation will not be made until re sults of all tests conducted in 1961 have bee"A obtained and summarffe6(T.f' " ' Obituary Mrs. Carl Ohlschlager Mrs. Carl (Garnet) Ohlschlag er, 80, was born Dec. 3, 1880, at Sac City, Iowa, daughter of John and Alice Brosius Cory.

(Special) Observers are puzzled over the recent fire at the Russian Em-j bassy here in Washington. The fire occurred in the third-floor of the embassy building in a bed room used by Soviet Ambas sador Menshikov, who was in Russia at the time. The Washington Fire Depart ment was not called, and Wash ington police or firemen were not admitted when they were first notified by the U. S. State Department. The Russians de manded an appointment with Secretary of State Rusk, who no tified local authorities. This all took place at least an hour after the fire, which the embassy em ployees put out by themselves. When they were finally ad mitted, detectives announced that papers and furnishings were burned in Menshikov' s bedroom and that windows in the room were smashed. Russians claimed someone broke into the third floor room, but this is most un likely. Not only do the Russians main tain strict security measures, but it is an open secret in Wash ington that our security agencies keep an around-the-clock watch on the Embassy. Persons who have visited the Embassy in the past on some business have found themselves questioned later by U. S. security forces who were obviously watching from nearby. Therefore, it is impossible to believe that anyone climbed up to the third floor, broke in the window, and set the fires. There are too many U. S. and Soviet security forces on guard. The most likely explanation an in side job. The mystery remains. It is interesting to compare the principal tourist exhibits in Moscow and Washington, D. C. In Moscow the main attrac tions for Russians are the bodies of Lenin and Stalin. In our Na tional Capital, the original Dec laration of Independence and U. S. Constitution are among the most visited tourist attractions. This is symbolic of the fact that we have a government of law, not of men. The Congress has made per manent a program allowing American citizens to adopt for eign orphans. Many Nebraskans have adopted war orphans under this program in earlier years. New controls were written into the law to prevent any black market in babies from develop ing under this program. The House resoundingly passed a bill to prohibit trade with Cuba. The bill carries a penalty of $5,000 or a year im prisonment or both. Many in Congress are obvi ously tired of waiting for the Ad ministration to place a complete embargo on trade with this Com munist satellite just 90 miles off our coast, so we took the matter into our own hands. A Washington State Congress man received the following letter riw 'Us -entirety : ' -- "If you are really interested :n America, then get behind our government and pull!" Washington. D.C. (Special) Unemployment remains a pro blem despite the administration programs which were rushed 2 ill through Congress early in the year. August unemployment figures showed no improvement over previous months and predictions for the future are gloomy, although students returning to school and college will cause some statistical drop. It is reported that the Admin istration will ask for a revival of the New Deal WPA program if no real improvement occurs by the end of this year. Such a public works program would provide some temporary relief, but it ignores the basic problem, which is the replace ment of jobs by machines. The solution is retraining so that un employed persons will be able to move ahead with the nation. Also important is a change in obsolete tax laws which are a block to investment in new plants by American business. New jobs are created when new plants are built, but our hodge podge of tax laws needs a clean ing up so that business can af ford to expand. It has been charged that the Administration's tax revision program was so poorly drawn this year that the House Ways and Means Committee (which considered it) decided to send the whole thing back to the Treasury Department with or ders to do more homework and draw up more sensible and work able reforms. ' Congress has over 300 commit tees, subcommittees, select com mittees and joint committees. Committee and subcommittee chairmen often act in an indep endent manner, and the leader ship in Congress has had trouble controlling things this year. As an example, one Congress man asked the leaders of the majority party when the Public Works Appropriation bill would come before the House and why the leadership was requesting that there be no record votes (yeas and naysi for one whole week. He said the leadership was not keeping faith with the House. The acting majority leader obviously annoyed said, "The statement is completely uncalled for. The leadership has nothing to do with it." The Congressman then asked, "If the leadership has nothing to do with it, who is running this House?" Federal aid to education has been cussed and discussed, voted down and voted up, comprom ised and amended. Three bills were killed by the Rules Com mittee, one by the House leader ship and one by the House itself. Meanwhile the Senate has pass ed a half-dozen education bills of various types. All this confusion prompted one Washington commentator to say last week: "Federal aid to schools didn't get very far this session, but it sure got there often."
