MOSQUITO WIGGLERS
DROWN IN DDT
When mosquito breeding ponds
are treated with DDT, the wig-1
glers or larvae get cramps and,
like many human swimmers sim
ilarly afflicted, drown.
The discovery of this effect of ,
DDT on the larvae of malaria
mosquitoes was made by John D.
Maple, formerly of the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quaran
tine, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture.
Maple was killed while fighting
mosquitoes on Okinawa last June.
The symptoms of DDT poison
ing of the wigglers of malaria
mosquitoes, he reported, are “ex
cessive swimming along the water
surface and occasional tremors,
followed by sinking.”
Whether or not the wiggler gets
enough DDT poison to kill it out
right, it sinks and tries to strug
gle back to the surface for aid but
is not able to make it, and so
drowns.
Although the best mosquito
killer ever discovered, DDT is not
i the fastest. In Department of Ag
riculture studies, microscopic
crystals of DDT have been fed to
individual mosquitoes. Many of
the insects lived for hours, but
died in a day or less. Death was
always sure.

Stiff Penalties For
Theft Of U. S.
Properly
Headquarters, Alaskan Depart
ment—In connection with the dis
posal of surplus Government
property, the Commanding Gen
eral of the Alaskan Department
today informed all military per
sonnel and civilian employees of
the Government in the Territory
that severe penalties would be im
posed on anyone found guilty of
theft of United States property.
He made it clear that this type
of theft is a federal offense, and
is punishable by fines of $5,000 to
$10,000 and imprisonment rang
ing from 5 to 10 years.
Placards signed by Lt. Gen. Em
mons, calling attention to the pen
alties attaching to the theft or
misappropriation of Government
property, are being posted
throughout the area on all build-;
ings and enclosures containing
Government property.
It was pointed out that civilians
should not accept any Govern
ment property without first inves
tigating its origin. A spokesman
for the Comanding General said
that stolen Govenment property, j
even though it is later bought by
an innocent purchaser, must be
returned to the Government.
It was emphasized that anyone
possesing Government property
should have a valid receipt from
either an Army Salvage officer,
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, or the Surplus Property
Board of the Department of the
Interior.
Jews In Protest
Strike In Palestine
JERUSALEM, Nov. 14— (/P) —
A twelve-hour general strike in
protest of new British proposals
for settling the Palestine problem,

work shops, and factories closed.
Jewish operated buses and taxis
stopped. Jewish workers in essen
tial services were requested to

casting stations. There is wide
j spread objection throughout Pal
estine to the statement of Foreign
Secretary Bevin that Britain and
United States would jointly at
tempt to solve the difficulties and
that eventually Palestine will
most likely be placed under the
trusteeship of Britain. At present
Britain governs Palestine under
a League of Nations mandate.

SUPER-EYES AT 78
PHILADELPHIA—(>P)—"Noth
ing to it—just takes a little prac
tice,” says Warren Black, 78, as
he twirls a piece of platinum wire
between his fingers.
Casually, Blackie distinguishes*
by sight and touch between 20,
22 and 24 thousandths of an inch
in platinum wire diameters.
Blackie’s foreman declares, “I
have never seen anyone like him.
I’ve worked with him 21 years
and I’ve never known him to
make a mistake in selecting wire.
“We've checked Blackie time
and time again with micrometers
and he’s always right.”
Blackie just tugs at his long,
white moustache, casts a mischiev
ous glance at the pin-up girls over
his work bench, and says, “It’s
simple.”
