WASHINGTON
THE FRAMERS OF the Consti
tution recognized the importance of
protecting the economy of the
United States from indiscriminate
trade by vesting Congress in Ar
ticle I, Section VIII, Paragraph 3
with power "to regulate commerce
with foreign nations.”

War II persist
ent efforts have

If weaken and un

t' 0 W 6 T h
usurpation of it. Asa result Con
gress already is virtually impotent
to raise or lower tariffs or impose
import quotas except through the
initiation of complicated, laborious
and usually-futile administrative
procedures and a recent proposal
placed before Congress by the
President would have the effect of
eliminating that last vestige of
Congressional control over foreign
commerce.

THAT PROPOSAL IS the rec
ommendation that Congress ap
prove United States membership in
an international body called the
Organization for Trade Coopera
tion. This agency would be com
posed of 35 nations, each of which
would have one vote, and would;
govern international trade under
the terms of the General Agree
ment on Tariffs and Trade.
The effort obviously is a back- j
door approach to seeking Congres
sional approval of GATT which is j

which were negotiated the tariff I

sugar-coated recommendation of it
as a means through which world
trade can be promoted and stimu

more than a hashed-over version of

IT IS ALARMING enough that
Congress, through the application
of the Trade Agreements Act, has
given the President and State De
partment a virtual veto over any
action it might take in the exercise
of its power to regulate commerce,
but it is unthinkable that it would
even consider handing an absolute
veto to 34 foreign nations. Instead
of acting to reassert its authority
in this important field such action
would mean, as so aptly expressed
recently by Congressman Cleveland
M. Bailey of West Virginia, that
Congress “had betrayed its trust
and made a cowardly surrender.”
I favor and will support all rea
sonable and practicable efforts to
establish and encourage a favorable
balance of trade between the
United States and friendly nations
of the world so long as they are
undertaken within the framework
of the Constitution. But I am vig
orously opposed to any programs
or schemes which would have the
effect of surrendering the sover
eignty of the United States, abdi
cating the powers of Congress or
placing American business and
workers at the mercy of foreign
governments.

Rewiring Your Farm A
Sure Way To Fire Safety
Four out of every five electrified farms in the United States are
loaded with electrical fire hazards.
Project this figure: there are nearly 5,000,000 electrified farms in
the nation; hence 1,000.000 of them come under this dire classification.
It’s hard to believe but true,
claims Glenn Rowell of the Fire
Underwriters Inspection Bureau
of Minnesota and chairman of one
of the 14 panels that make up the
National Fire Protection Associa
tion’s National Electrical Code
(nation’s most widely adopted
safety code).
The 4,000,000 electrified farms
are loaded with potential life, and
fire hazards brought about by a
combination of overloading and
use of wiring materials never in
tended for use in damp or corro
sive locations, he says.
When electricity first replaced
the kerosene lamp, in farmsteads,
it was looked upon merely as a
lighting substitute. The glaring
mistake was made in failing to
recognize the farm as an indus
trial establishment, where electri
cal wiring materials would be sub

I)r. Robert 11. Daines of Rutgers University points to his unique
bee trap used to control fireblight of apples and pears.
To prevent orchard pollinating
bees from spreading fireblight
to apple and pear blossoms, Dr.
Robert H. Daines, plant patholo
gist at Rutgers University has
come up with the novel idea of
making the bees carry the cure
instead of the disease. He pow
ders them with a fireblight-kill
ing antibiotic, streptomycin, by
means of a simple wooden trap
inserted at the bee hive entrance.
The bees can’t get in 6r out with
out walking through the strep
tomycin, which clings to their
bodies ready to kill or inactivate
any fireblight-produeir.g bacteria
they might pick up as they
gather nectar.
Dr. Daines and his associate,
Dr. Michael Szkolnik of Cornell,
succeeded in reducing fireblight
infection of pear blossoms from
40% to less than 1% in con
trolled greenhouse tests. The bees
did not do as well in preventing
the disease in apple blossoms.
The scientists attribute this to
the difference in flower struc
ture. The bee can land in the
shallow nectar cup of a pear
blossom feet first. The apple
blossom, however, isn’t so accom
modating. Unlike pear blossoms.

Klectrification grew by leaps
and bounds; more appliances,
labor saving, profit-making de
vices were added.
But a farm wired by 100 kilo
watt hours per month cannot
operate profitably or safely when
350 kilowatt hours are needed
each month.
The actual seriousness of tlie
problem is pointed up by these
recent statistics: out of over 40,-
000 farmstead electrical reinspec
tions in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas, less than SOO were
found free of life or fire hazards!
The answer? Reinspection and
a complete rewiring program, says
Mr. Rowell. And. he predicts, the
farm load will reach 1200 kilo
watt hours per month within the
next ten years!
apple blossoms have stamens
that are tightly clustered to
gether around a deep calyx cup,
which makes it more difficult for
the bee to get into with his
streptomycin-covered legs.
The plant scientists are at
tempting to solve this problem
by nailing a cheese cloth net on
the upper section of the trap and
filling it with streptomycin dust.
Now the bees won’t only have to
stomp through the stuff, they
will have to take a streptomycin
dusting all over.
The method is scheduled to be
tested in orchards. Merck & Cos.,
Inc. in nearby Rahway, N. J.,
which makes the streptomycin
product Agri-Strep for plant dis
ease control, will provide techni
cal assistance and assay work as
it has since the project began.
If it works out as well as it has
in the greenhouse, pear and ap
ple growers may expect consid
erable saving over the present
method which calls for at least
3 sprayings during the growing
season.
Several other bacteriocydes
were tried, but streptomycin was
found to be least harmful to
pollen.

Irwin County, in 1 he south central part of the state, is almost
150 years old. Within this county is the plot of ground on
which one of the final acts of the Confederacy took place.
Here, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, was
captured by Federal troops. Asa monument to this dramatic,
historic event, a small and pleasant state park was built and
a museum was erected to exhibit war relies. Irwin’s past is
distinguished and its future promising. It. boasts successful
industries growing out of lumber and naval stores. Oeilla,
the county seat, is a thriving community.
In historic Irwin County and throughout Georgia, the
United States Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure
the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions.
Believing that strict law enforcement serves the best interest
of the people of Georgia, the Foundation stresses close coop
eration with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and govern
ing officials in its continuing "self-regulation’ * program.
