Eat Salmon With DDT For
Years Without Harmful
Effect, Says
You can eat Coho Salmon con

DDT, morning, noon, and night
as your total diet for a least 19
years without any harmful ef

foimcr Chief of Toxicology of
the United States Public Health
Seivice, testified as DDT heal

Hayes based his conclusion on
the results of his research with
DDT factory workers with in
tensive exposure, and with hu
man volunteers to whom DDT
was fed at higher levels without
ill effect
Dr Hayes, now professor of
biochemistry at Vanderbilt Uni
veisity, Nashville, Tennessee,
advised there is no danger to
the public in current uses ot
DDT. either from residues in
food or from environmental e.v

Eradication of malana in th •
United States was brought
about through the use of DDT
and while it no longer exists
here as a serious threat to pub
lie health, Dr Haves testified, it
remains a major killer of people
in many parts of the world At
one time malaria killed two
million people and left millions
of otheis debilitated fiom the
disease each year He said,
“DDT still remains the most
important single tool for con
trol of malana ” There un
doubtedly would be a resui
gence of malaria in many parts
of the world should DDT be
banned, he added

Professor
leadership Di Hayes said he
feared people in other countries
would feel that if DDT were
banned in the U S„ it would not
be safe for use in their coun

lives would be needlessly lost
He told of the first time in
history a typhus epidemic was
ever controlled', when, a genera
tion ago, thousands of people in
Italy were dusted with DDT to
control the major disease out

though the people were “pietfy
well saturated with DDT”, they
suffered no ill effects from the
use of the chemical

effects on the men clinically ”
On studies of woikers in DOT
mnnufactming plants, wheie
intake would be much grcatei

Dr Hayes pointed out that phy
sical examinations and study of
the men’s neivous systems fail
ed to reveal “any haim in any
way” to the woikers He pointed
out that workeis had been e\
posed to vastly larger-than-avei
age dosages of DDT for up to 19
years without ill effect.
In his testimony, the toxicolo
gist and medical doctor drew on
extensive research conducted
through the U S Public Health
Service facilities over the past
20 years Dr Hayes summarized
the results of his research on
DDT with the conclusion “I
think it’s safe”

Tree Injury
Many evergreen trees and
shrubs are showing some dead
branches, and in some cases the
entire plant is drying up. This is
commonly known as winter in
jury and is quite common this
spring because of the lack o£
snow and ram this past winter;
without snow cover the ground
froze very deep and the plant
icots could not get sufficient
moisture when the rest of the
plant needed it; as a result, the
plant tissues were injured and
are now dying. We suggest that
owners be patient before prun
ing away too much of the inpur
ed area: in many cases new
shoots will grow fiom the
stems; by the middle of May the
new growth should be started,
if it is going to grow Soaking
the root areas every 10 days with
water will help along with a
light application of a complete
tree and shrub fertilizer one
time in the next few weeks.
Wild seese have been clocked
flying 60 miles per hour, and
planes have observed them at
elevations abo re 29 000 feet.
