Pest Control Problems __ Under way at Washington is a four- day public symposium dealing with a matter of vital concern on both sides of ‘the boundary line. Sponsored by the U.S. National Academy of Scien- ces together with the National Re- search Council, its theme is “Scien- tific Aspects of ~ Pest Control.” Twenty-five authorities of the naton’s leading experts in the fields of agri- culture, biology, : chemistry, con- servation and public health are dis- cussifig methods of pest control, their consequences for man and nature, special physical methods of control— biological, chemical, genetic, electro- magnetic, and so fourth. ~—-"Phis-symposium,-says.the-National..

Spain is not a member of NATO and is waging a growing campaign to get Gibralter back from the British. That is one row in which Washington,

we May expect, will want to have as -

little to do as possible.

From Caviar ToCatfish ~

Christian Science Monitor

Now even the gourmet has cause for alarm. The world’s supply of. caviar hangs in the balance. Pollution of the Volga River has apparently caused the killing of thousands of - caviar- rich beluga sturgeon. The Soviet Union, not viewing the matter lightly, has charged with crim- inal negligence certain engine- ers and technicians in a Volgo- grad chemical plant.

The sturgeons have to battle not only Volga pollution from 300 plants in Volgograd but also a network. of. hydroelectric... sta-.. tions which impede their pro-

‘gress from the Caspian Sea to

their spawning grounds. (In- stead of the boatmen, it is now the fish that toil along the Vol-
