States hope to lift insecticide ban
By The Associated Press
Representatives of agricultural agencies in four Midwestern states that have been hit hard by insects are trying to convince the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate a ban on certain chemicals needed to fight the insects.
The presentations are scheduled to meet Thursday in Topeka with officials from the EPA and the Department of Agriculture, for a meeting on climate change.
Bennett announced the meeting in a telegram to yesterday to the governors of Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma and to
The telegram actually was an invitation for representatives to attend the meeting, but a spokesman for Bennett had contacted the staff of all agencies involved and said they had agreed to the meeting.
The chairman of the meeting will be Bill Dutsman, state secretary of agriculture.
Bennett and the other governors are scheduled to be at a governor's conference and are not expected to attend the Topika
Bennett made an inspection of bug-infected fields in western Kansas last week. He said in his telegram that farmers in the four
states that end pollution. The EPA would permit the use of those insecticides needed to fight the grasshopper and chilp bug vectors.
"I am convinced from my own discussion with farmers that consideration should be given to approval of non-restricted insecticides, under close supervision, to save this year's crop production." Bennett said in the telegram.
FARM EXPERTS in Missouri and Kansas say insect outbreaks this year have the potential to heavily damage crops on both sides of the state line, but they quickly add it is too early to predict agricultural doom.
The problems are aggravated, the experts say, by federal bans on some of the most effective pesticides. Most weapons left in the farmers' arsenal may be good for a few days, they say, but have little residual effect. The one effective anticworm agent—a chemical called hechthorn—has been so restricted that many farmers are unwilling to use it.
but experts on insects and field crops said they were unwilling to guess about how widespread the damage would be.
"Everybody would like to see some figures on what the losses will be." Dell Gates, head of extension entomology at Kansas State
One thing is obvious, however. Populations of chinch bugs, grasshoppers and cutworms are higher than they have been in at least 20 years, and there is the potential for huge losses if steps to control the insects are not taken.
"It's the most serious problem we've had in the 19 years I've been here," Mahion Farchid, chairman of the entyngery department at the University of Missouri-Columbia, said. "We thought last year was bad, but we're almost this certain year will be worse."
A survey mailed out to more than 1,100 corn farmers in Missouri is expected to show a serious problem with black cutworms, a pest that was not even positively identified in the state until the early 1970s.
University, said. "But it's too early—there are still too many factors we don't know about."
Last year about 250,000 acres of a 2.9 million-acre Missouri corn crop were affected by the cutworms. This year that figure could be three times as much, if results of a preliminary survey prove accurate.
IN KANNAS an outbreak of chinch bugs, which suck their nourishment from wheat, corn and sorghum, has reached serious proportions for the first time in years. Large numbers of garden pests are growing and grazing at alfalfa and sorghums until at least August.
The chinch bug has a natural enemy that could be more effective than any pesticide if wet weather continues and growing plants shade the soil enough to keep it damp. A white chinch bug fungus attacks some of the pests in Kansas of the tiny pests has saved some sorghum fields in Kansas.
"The surprising thing to me as I drive around the state is I don't see that big a margin around the field destroyed by chinch bugs." Gates said. "Farmers have done a good job of treating and replanting, and there still a chance of some relief. Through this area we have seen some beautiful examples of how the fungus cleaned out of the wheat."
Dana Garwood, entomology director for the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, characterized the chink bug and grasshopper
In Missouri the next concern is what a second generation of corn borers will do to crops that almost entirely escaped damage because wet weather this spring delayed planting. The corn plants have to be about 20 inches high to be infested by borers, summa thins can be wiped away by the time the plants get tall enough to be vulnerable. Mike English of the University of Missouri said.
New phone deposit policy not retroactive
By NANCY FLEEKER
Staff Writer
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.'s no-deposit policy will not include automatic refunds for customers who already have a license to Knight, manager of the Lawrence office.
The policy, which went into effect May 1, eliminated deposits for customers who have good credit ratings or who have not built up a credit rating with a phone company.
Credit records are determined by the number of outstanding or delinquent bills.
Under the old policy, all customers paid a deposit, which was returned with interest at the end of 12 months if the customer had a good credit record with the company.
The new policy was initiated because the law in effect required that parents not their devotees refunded. Knight said.
"Each district sets their own guidelines," she said.
"We've done studies on how many deposits we have to keep.
"We've found that for most of the people we need deposits for, the deposit doesn't
Customers who have a bad credit rating with a telephone company will have to pay a higher charge.
She said the deposits were an expense to the telephone company when they were refunded because they were paid back with interest.
The deposit is figured by the customer's previous record of two months worth of long-term investment.
She said that in some cases, the deposit could be as high as $22 if the account was held.
later if their account became a risk, Knight said.
The company will keep a close watch on new customers' accounts for the first three months, she said, to make sure the accounts were not risks.
Anytime that the company has to call or send a notice to a customer, the telephone company has the option of asking for a deposit, she said.
"But in most cases, there is no deposit," she said.
Customers who paid deposits before May
I will still have to wail the 12-month period to have their deposits returned, Knight said.
**WE'RE NOT GOING back and refunding deposits since we had that policy at that time.**
She said, however, that customers who had made deposits under the old policy could call the office and have their accounts reviewed.
Knight said that most students who paid deposits in January probably had had their telephones disconnected by the end of the semester last spring.
Plane kills family watching TV
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A light plane crashed into three houses near the end of an airport runway last night, killing six and wounding two. They watched television in their dining room.
The three persons aboard the twin-engine aircraft escaped alive and the occupants of the helicopter were found dead.
The plane crashed seconds after taking off from Airport, Melbourne's light aircraft.
The house in which the six persons died exploded and burst into flames when the firemen tried to extinguish it.
The plane then plunged into another house and came to rest in a tangle of twisted fuselage and brickwork, demolishing the rear of a third house.
Joe Corso, owner of the house where the plane came to rest, said he his wife and two children were killed.
Fires broke out in two houses when fuel from the plane scattered across the area, but fire units quickly brought the fires under control.
One of the three aboard the plane, Geoffrey Walker, 33, said in a Melbourne hospital, "We tread everything possible. We just lost power."
"My wife was washing dishes in the kitchen when suddenly there was a loud bang and the room started to fall in," he said, "and I got out. And I got my wife and son and daughter out."
the plane suddenly burst through the kitchen wall.

BY DEBBIE EIFFERT Staff Writer
Fans of the television series "Star Trek" met one of its script writers, Theodor Sturgeon, at 8 p.m. last night in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Sturgeen, 60, lectured at the University of Kansas Science Fiction Institute, which is being held this week.
The author of more than 160 titles, including "The Invaders" and "Wild, Wild, West," Burgeon said he had just sold the screen rights for "More Than Human," which has been printed in 18 languages.
Sturgeon said he began to write science fiction as a teenager, when he was in the merchant marine.
When he sold his first story, he said, he
quit being a sailor to become a writer.
THE STORY SAID for 45. he said
"I lived on $5 to $10 a week for 4½ months," he said. "My room cost me $7, so that left a little for me to save."
In the next few years, he said, he learned a lot about writing and about selling his work.
Then from 1940 to 1946, after two unsuccessful marriages, he wrote no stories.
BUT HE LEARNED later, he said, that it had been a period of growth for him and that there was a big difference in the way he wrote after that time.
"I felt very unhappy about that," he said. "I felt they were lost years—I couldn't even take care of my wives and children."
"Although the park might stop," he said, "the work doesn't. There is no real harm during a dry spot like this. You are growing and changing."
"Nobody," he said, "I don't care how bad he is, can write 50 bad stories a year."
Surgee advised students who wanted to write to discipline themselves to do one or two stories a week because they would produce at least two good stories a year.
A necklace with the letter "Q" and an arrow through it hung around Sturgeon's neck as he talked.
It was his trademark, he said, and it meant "Ask the next question."
'It's the symbol of everything that's
ongoing, growing and changing," he said. "It's the reason man has survived.
“IF YOU KEEP asking questions, you keep getting nearer to the basic truth. But the minute you stop, you join the rest of the zombies who are walking around.”
In addition to science fiction, *Sturgeon*, writes other novels and fiction. There is a plot to keep him from writing anything more. To achieve the motion and he will not tolerate it, he said.
LADY JANE, as he calls his third wife, accompanied Sturgeon on his visit to KU.
His novels include "Kildozer," 1944; "The Dreaming Jewels," 1960; "Some of Your Blood," 1961; "The Joyous Ines," 1971; "Caviar," 1988; "E. Pluribus Unicorn," 1970; "Beyond," 1973; "Surgence Is Alive and Well," 1971; "The Worlds of Theodore Burgeon," 1972; "Case and the Synthetic Man," 1974; and "The Synthetic Man," 1974.
"I have a wonderful, wonderful wire he said. "She understands I will type all night, sleep 20 minutes or two hours in the afternoon or not at type.all"
