Japan-Soviet Talks on
World War 11 Peace
Postponed in London
LONDON, Iff)—Japan and the
Soviet Union today postponed
further talks on a World War II
peace treaty until after Septem
ber. The Japanese explained that
September is normally the vaca
tion month for Russian officials.
Negotiations in Moscow between
Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri
Shepilov and Japanese Foreign
Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu last
week were interrupted so the men
could come to the London confer
ence on the Suez Canal crisis.
Their efforts to write a treaty
ending a technical state of war
were deadlocked over Russia’s re
fusal to return two islands of the
Kurile group just north of Japan
that Soviet troops occupied after
the Japanese surrender. Russia
did not sign the 1951 San Fran
cisco Peace Treaty which ended
the state of war between Japan
and most of the World War II
allies.

First DEW Line
Supply Ships Due
In Seattle Friday
SEATTLE, W!—First ships from
the Arctic supply mission to the
Distant Early Warning radar line
will return to Seattle Friday, and
at least a dozen are due home
in the next three weeks.
Crews of the 12 ships number
some 500 men.
The first returning wave Fri
day will include the freighter
Jack J. Pendleton and tanker On
tonagon. Three days later on
August 27 the freighters Clove
Hitch and Pembina and the dock
landing ship Gunston Hall are
scheduled in.
Sketchy reports from the north
did not reveal which of the re
turning ships were among those
that traversed the ice pack at
Point Barrow and which ones
completed their cargo operations
at DEW line stations south and
west of Point Barrow.
No complete status report has
been received here on the fleet.
However, last official word had
cargo operations proceeding un
der favorable wind and ice con
ditions. Much of the 56-ship DEW
line flotilla probably has un
loaded its cargo and either has
passed back west around Point
Barrow or is waiting for the right
time to break back through the
ice there.
The icebreaker Burton Island
Monday completed emergency re
pair of propeller damage she suf
fered in the original Point Bar
row breakthrough and sailed
north again.
Although orchids are usually
considered rare, the orchid fam
ily is one of the most numerous
groups of flowering plants. About
140 species of orchids are found
north of Mexico, with some ex
tending to Alaska, and even
Greenland. North American
members of the orchid family in
clude the lady’s-slipper, mocca
sin flower, rose - pogonia, shin
plaster and showy orchid.

Mosquitoes Face
New Weapon
I ..
That perennial pest, the mos
quito, will be subject to control
this summer by the powerful in
secticide, malathion, thanks to a
ruling of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The ruling opens a
new era of control for species
which have become resistant to
DDT and other chemicals.
Federal acceptance means that
public health and sanitation agen
cies, resort operators, campers,
industrial concerns and home
owners will have available a low
hazard and highly effective in
secticide for outdoor control of
all flies, mosquitos and mosquito
larvae.
Malathion is a development of
American Cyanamid Company. It
has been tested for mosquito con
trol during the past two years
by UJS.D.A. state and local agen
cies.
Malathion was used in 1954 on
California’s Central Valley by the
State Department pf Public
Health and the Merced County
Mosquito Abatement District to
wipe out a severe infestation of
the dread Culex tarsalis, a carrier
of sleeping sickness. This mos
quito had become resistant to
DDT. Threatened with an infesta
tion of epidemic proportions, of
ficials tried malathion and found
that it killed all mosquitos within
50 yards of the spray.
Further evidence of malathion’s
effectiveness against mosquitos
and houseflies is accumulating in
southern Florida where it is erad
icating a new infestation of the
Mediterranean fruit fly. Mala
thion was selected to combat this
pest because of its effective kill,
ranging up to 99 per cent, and its
low hazards for men, birds and
animals.

GOP Tax Cut
Promise Called
‘Election Talk’
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
LIBERTYVILLE, 111., (ifl—Ad
lai Stevenson today labeled a Re
publican promise of tax cuts as
just “so much election talk.”
The Democratic presidential
nominee, completing plans for a
flying tour of the country next
week to, lay the groundwork for a
strenuous campaign, said the tax
cut promise was a “contradiction”
of President Eisenhower’s own
position that he is "against tax
cut,” and favors applying any
surplus revenue toward “retire
ment of the public debt.”
Stevenson, meeting reporters in
the recreation room of his farm
home near here, expressed sar
casm at the Republican platform
committee chairman’s emphasis
on a balanced budget.
“The Republican convention
applauded loudest when Senator
Bush said 'We have balanced the
budget.’
“This was certainly an accur
ate reflection of what interests
the Republican leaders most—not
the education of our children, not
a fair break for the farmers, not
the growing menace of Commu
nism in the world, not America’s
waning influence—but a ‘bal
anced budget.’
“And Sen. Bush did not say
that they succeeded in balancing
the budget this year only by post
poning necessary defense expen
ditures until next year—after the
election.
Adai Says GOP Is
Smug, Complacent,
Self-Righteous
LIBERTYV1LLE, ill., UP—Adlal
Stevenson Tuesday accused Re
publican keynoter Gov. Arthur
Langlie of having “shamelessly;
confused facts and falsehoods” in
his address to the GOP national
convention Monday night.
The Democratic presidential
nominee called the Washington
State Republican governor’s ad
dress “another example of the
administration’s smug, self-right
eous complacency.”
He said Gov. Langlie accused
him in 1952 of having run up a
large deficit in Illinois when he
actually "left the state with a
large treasury balance” without
raising general revenue taxes.
Stevenson, wearing again the
faded blue jeans which are be
coming familiar to reporters as
signed to his campaign prepara
tions here, met with newsmen in
the gravel driveway of his home.
Anticipating reporters’ ques
tions about Langlie’s keynote
speech, Stevenson had written
out in longhand this comment:
"The Republican keynote was
that ‘All is well and God is on
our side.’ It was another example
of the administration’s smug, self
righteous complacency.
“I have no expectations of an
honest appraisal of the dangers
abroad and the failures at home
from any official Republican
spokesman — at least before the
election. . .”
