(Associated Press wlrcphcto.) Pacific Report I ll Low, I Slow Growing Crop Makes High Mortality Rate BY KNOX CRAIG Ames, 1. Farmers who be come discouraged looking at their slow growing, low, straggling corn can at least take comfort in th.2 thought that it's tough on the Eu ropean corn borer, too. 'The smaller the corn at this Uime of the year, declared Carl sate entomologist, "the higher will be the mortality rate of the borer." Drake said he didn't believe the rate of increase of the borers would be as high this year as last. though plenty of the pests, which did about $2,207,000 damage in Iowa cornfields last year, can be found now where the corn is high enough. "In fields at Grimes and Polk City where I have been," Drake said, "you don't have any trouble finding the borers.

They are much easier to find than last year." He said, because of the slow growth of corn this year it was to be expected that the insect would attack suh other plants as the potato and: tomato. They have been reported infesting tomato patches in eastern Iowa. Drake said the job of releasing corn borer parasites, which has been carried out over about a three-week period, had been finished wilh the parasites placed 35 to 46 eastern Iowa counties. Tama county was the farthest west the parasites were distributed, he "The parasite is a highly specialized Drake said, "and will die if it Joes not find the corn borer. That is why we distribute them ony in the areas where the corn borer infestation is known to be heavy." 20,000 Nazi War Prisoners Work in Midwest Area Omaha.

a More than prisoner; of war were actively engaged in food in the Seventh service command area last imonth. JVlaj. Gen. C. H.

Danielson, commanding officer, announced. Fifteen thousand were used in the cultivation of the vital beet sugar crop, while almost 6,000 were en-' gaged in farm work and canning factory operations. Of the total number of prisoners, Nebraska was allocated 4,496 last month, with 8,115 prisoners used in Colorado; 2,363 in Wyoming, and 500 in-; South Dakota. An emergency was declared in these states when it was determined that a lack' of available manpower precluded the possibility of thinning and blocking the beet sugar crop, on time. Since the prisoners were sent to the critical areas, war food administration goals calling for 46 per cent, of the total beet 'sugar to be grown in the area of the Seventh service command have been attained, the command headquarters said.

INTERPRETING the WAR NEWS BY K1RKE L. SIMPSON Associated Press News Analyst A FEW weeks hence any such concentrated atr blasting of Japan as that which now headlines the war news would be an almost "certain sign that American invasion was close at hand. Both the scope of the raids, involving an estimated army and navy planes of all types, the targets picked, enemy airfields, and the sustained fury of Jhe' attack would point that way; There is every reason to doubt, however, that American redeployment from Europe has yet reached a point where major amphibious operations could be undertaken or will do so for some time. Nor are weather conditions now suitable for attempting any long overseas jump by ground forces, "and the weather probabilities will be an all-important factor in the timing of invasion moves whether against Japan direct or in The rainy season still dominates the far western Pacific-China sea area and do so for another two months or so. Other Moves Mysterious Early reports from the massive air attack by teamed-up army- navy cralt indicate it -may nave been launched to take advantage of a foreseen weather break.

That it was calculated to knock Japa nese home air power out of ac tion es a cover for seme other im pending move to intensify the blockade encirclement of Japan appeared wholly probable. There was no hint from either allied or Japanese sources 1 of what that otiher move might be. Pending that, it seem possible that the great air was a preliminary to further stepping-stone advance, Japan in the Ryukyu chain. Recently Tokyo broadcasts were full of reports that American air and naval forces were feeling out defenses in the Amami group north of Okinawa. If they are to be seized to bring American advance bases 100 miles or more nearer blasted Kyu shu, a knockout attack on airfields in all southern Jap'an would be a logical preliminary to minimize losses for the amphibious troops assigned to the task.

Peace Feelers Rumored There are other possible objectives. At the moment that attack was the big news from the Pacific theater, for Act ing Secretary Grew cf the state department was releasing his statement that "purported (Japanese peace feelers' have been used in an effort to stir policy dissension in this country and between the allied The statement -came as" Presi dent Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Stalin of Russia were about to get together for their Big Three conference. If the question of Russia's ultimate role in the war in Asia comes up there, the fact of that fJane preliminary to the utter air blasting of Japan could be important. It-could be convincing proof that American air- forces are now in a position to offer -the Russians the same sort of effective cooperation against Japan that they did against A Mexican scientist advances the theory that living forms of simple organisms can be directly from inanimate chemicals. SOLOES STUDIED Lawmakers May Be Allowed to Deduct Living Expenses Washington.

CF) The. treas ury is seriously considering an ac tion that would save each member of congress at least $1,000 a year in federal income taxes. 1 The problem is: Whether to allow senators and representatives to count as business expenses their meals and lodging while in Washington. Recent court decisions have changed the picture somewhat. It was learned I-that the department has reopened the question and has been studying it carefully for two weeks.

Expenses Heavy Congressmen never have been permitted to deduct these expenses in filing tax returns. Nowadays a congressman spends several thou sand dollars a year on Washington meals and lodging perhaps an average of $4,000 or Some spend more, and pay taxes on it at 25 per cent! and up. Besides congressmen, a re versal of the treasury rule probably -would benefit the thousands of state legislators who must pay rent and food bills while attend ing sessions in their state capitals. For the average citizen, meals and lodging when away from home on business are deductable and no tax is paid on the income spent for those purposes. Home in Washington But the treasury always has held that when congressmen are in Washington they aren't away from home.

That's because there is a general rule that, for tax purposes, "a man's home is where his job is." But on the other hand, the constitution requires that a congressman's home be in the state where he runs for office. About 10 years ago, George W. Lindsay, then a United States representative from Brooklyn, sued for the right to deduct his Washington meals and lodging. The United States tax court ruled against him. But there have been more recent decisions tending the other way.

Favorable Ruling One was a case decided in March of this year by the United States court of appeals for the fifth cir cuit. This case involved J. -N Flowers of Jackson, vice president and general counsel of a railroad which has home offices in Mobile, Ala. His job was in Mo bile, but he kept his home in Washington, spending much time in both places. The court ruled he could deduct his meals and lodg-ingswhile in Jackson.

The government has appealed to the supreme court. The treasury may decide to wait and see what the supreme court does about the Flowers case before definitely deciding on congressional expenses. Quarrel Holds Up Action Nih Federal Airport Aid Bill Washington. A 000 federal aid airport construction bill stood in the middle Tuesday, of a senate quarrel over which committee should handle aviation legislation. As a result, the measure for which many states and municipalities are pressing may face a delay of several weeks.

Senate leaders already have decided thai it should not be brought up-until after action on the United Nations charter and the Bretton Woods monetary agreements. The qVurel is between the in terstate i commerce committee. headed by Senator Wheeler and the commerce com mittee of which Senator Bailey N. is chairman. Each con tends it should handle legislation dealing withdomestic aviation.

May 1 Deadline for Replacing All Overseas Soldiers Washington. Cf5 The army has set May 1 as the deadline for car rying out President Truman pledge to congress of overseas service for every qualified soldier who can be replaced. A war department order to ground, service and air forces said that all qualified officers and men who have not had at least six months of foreign duty are to be given overseas assignment as fast as returning veterans can replace them. Special emphasis is to be given men under 35. Not covered by the order are special groups specifically exempt by the war department, enlisted men over 38 and those covered hy the policy exempting members of families that have had two or more persons killed, taken prisoner or reported lost.

Mr. Truman told of jthe plans to shift army personnel i abroad in a message to congress several weeks ago. 4 American Vessel Sunk by Nazi Mine; Thirteen Ftlissihg Paris. if) The S. S.

(The Augusta was the scene of an historic meeting between Pres ident Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in Atlantic waters in August, 1941.

(1c was then thati they drew up series of memoranda now known to the world as the At lantic charter.) Tanned and apparently in tip top physical condition, President Truman is cruising toward his first conference with Premier Stal in and Prime Minister Churchill through mid-Atlantic waters as placid as, those of a mill pond in his native Missouri. Wearing a sporty cap cocked iauntily on the side of his head. the president seems to feel the peace of his journey may augur well for the outcome of the ren dezvous in in Potsdam. on the outskirts of conquered Berlin. I Trek president left Washington last Friday night by train, sailing the next day from the army port of embarkation dock, Newport News, on the journey which may cover in excess of miles by the time he vreturns to the White House.

Mr. Truman gave his approval Tuesday to a direct report from shipboard on his trip. Correspondents of the three news services and a representative of the radio networks accompanied him. In the party are Brig. Gen.

Harry H. Vaughan and Capt. James K. Vardaman, his military and naval aids; Press Secretary Charles G. Ross; H.

Freeman Matthews, director of the l-state department's office of Euro pean affairs; Charles E. Bohlen, the department's Russian expert; Benjamin V. Cohen of Byrnes' staff and Capt. Alphonse McMa-hon, a naval surgeon assigned to look after the health of the. party.

Other Officials to Join The smallest ever to ac company a president to such a con ference, they will be joined in Germany by Joseph E. Davies, spe cial presidential emissary, and of ficials of the war, navy and state departments. The understanding is that General of the Army George C. Marshall, chief -of-staff, and Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval and possibly Gen.

Henry H. Arnold, chief of the army air also will sit in on the conferences. Beginning with his arrival at Newport News, when he left his train for the admiral's cabin on the ship, the president has been up an about every day no later than 6 a. He spends several hours each day yiith Byrnes and other members of his staff, going over con- lfarono natw anrf rsnnrts frnm the Pacific battlefronts. Radio Link Constant The chief executive is in constant radio communication With the White.

House by high speed transmitters. The president spent most of Sat urday on deck, chatting with Byrnes, reporters and others in his party about architecture, particularly! capitol domes, and seemed to enjoy the calm weather and bright sun. the evening ne viewed a movie. Sunday, he attended a general Protestant service in his shirt sleeves, sitting with the sailors. He spent the rest of the day dozing and relaxing.

Bright and' early Monday, look-ing fit as an athlete. President Truman, led correspondents on a strenuous tour of ascending and descending ladders with, an agility which belied his 61 years. The president went from the hot boiler room level to the highest control towers. He made a thorough job of it. Chats with Sailor The president looked over the giant" engines, the kitchen facilities, living quarters of officers and crew, and the air conditioned sick bay, where.he chatted with ailing seamen.

The presence of the big guns on the warship and an escort vessel offered a grim reminder that the United States still is at war, though on the other, side of the world. Tuesday the presidentan artillery captain in world war 1, watched gunnery practice. All plans for the Potsdam conference are described as tentative, including reports of a visit to Louden. Even the mode of the president's return to the United States is yet to be determined.

A robust. 6-foot Filipino, now 35 years old, Jaminal was doing very well the laundry business before the Japanese interfered.

His best customers were the submarine men. They were forced to leave before the Nipponese advance in 1 1942 without collecting their duds. But Slim" remembered. When the submarines came back three years later, he showed up with the bundles of laundry. There were sheets and towels and shirts, shorts and khaki trousers, the latter garments immaculately starched.

A few of the old submariners, men like Capt. Jce Willingham of Tell City, and Capt. Dick Hawes of Thomson, were back to claim their property. But! most of the customers had cone else where, some never to return. Buries Gun in Mountains The faithful brought more than laundry back to Hawes.

He returned the double barreled shotgun the. captain had left behind. "And if I don't come back," Hawes had instructed, "send it to my son after the war." "Slim" took the shotgun to the Zambales mountains and buried it. An informer tipped the Japanese that Jaminal had a gun and they arrested him to drink two pails of beat him. "Slim" took the beating and then escaped to the hills where he joined a guerrilla band.

Oil tanks at Cavite were exploding on shore as the Pigeon went about her work and Hawes recalls that the heat "scorched all our paint, even melted the rubber in our caps." Hawes and his men were too busy to stop and ponder their danger, however. They refueled the 50,000 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition and a supply of bolos and guns for every man and took their haul to Bataan.

"We got so many guns on that Pigeon we didn't have men enough to man them," said the skipper.
