Foreign Insects Aiding
Texas Citrus Growers
Reverse foreign aid, by insects
from Iraq, Formosa, China, Africa,
Australia and Guatemala—and the
states of Florida and California—
is improving the economic picture
for Texas citrus growers, two sci
entists of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station reported re
cently.
The insects, imported to act as
controls of pests on citrus trees
and fruits, are parasites and pre
dators. The attack destructive
scale, mites, flies, aphides and
other tiny destroyers of citrus.
In a report for the Rio Grande
Horticultural Society, H. A. Dean
and Jack C. Bailey of the TABS
substation at Weslaco, have stated
that within the past few years the
importation of insects that act as
hunters and killers of citrus-dam
aging pests has been of great eco
nomic value to valley citrus grow
ers. In the control of Purple Scale,
for example, a one-time major
pest of citrus has been dropped to
the category of “. ... a minor
pest . . .” the scientists state.
The Texas substation's list of
foreign aid insects is impressive.

Audio Visual
Workshop Set
For Thursday
An audio visual education work
shop is being held here today.
It is for students in teacher edu
cation and public school teachers
of this area.
The project, which is being held
in the Memorial Student Center,
began at 8 a.m., is sponsored by a
graduate class of the Department
of Education and Psychology. It
is prepared as a field experience
for practice in conducting an in-
service education program.
Robert P. Brown, educational
consultant for Encyclopedia Brit-
annica Films of Wilmette, 111., is
conducting the workshop.
The theme of the workshop is
“More Effective Use of Modern
Tools of Communication in Educa
tion.”
Four sessions are to be held
during the day, consisting of “The
Horizons in Education,” “Teaching
With a Sound Motion Picture,”
“Teaching With a Filmstrip” and
“Evaluation and Selection of Aud
io Visual Materials.”
The evening session will be held
at the Lamar Junior High School
in Bryan, from 7 to 9:30 for pub
lic school personnel of Bryan,
A&M Consolidateo and other area.
trea, Africa, Pakistan, Guatemala
and Israel. One insect is simply
classified as to origin as having
been first shipped out of South
Africa to the Moorestown, N. J.,
USDA facility, being noted as
“. . . may have originated from
Australia.”
This particular insect is a “di-
aspid scale-feeding beetle” releas
ed in a valley ranch last October,
north of Mercedes.
The beetle from Pakistan was
reared on aphids in the laboratory.
It ate mites, white flies, mealy
bugs and some scale insects as
well.
The report points out that some
17 species of beneficial insects
have been introduced into the low
er Rio Grande Valley area during
the past eight years as possible
predators on various citrus pests.
At least two of these have shown
great promise in the control of
scale species attacking Valley cit
rus.

Integration Troubles Continue
By The Associated Press
A school official says although
Negroes have cracked the color
barrier in Little Rock, a cruel sit
uation exists in the integrated
classrooms.
Everett .Tucker Jr., school board
president, told a federal judge
Wednesday that the eight Negroes
attending integrated high schools
are shunned by their white class
mates.
Negro students had protested to
Dist. Judge John E. Miller the
school board’s use of an Arkansas
public placement law to limit in
tegration. The board has assigned
only a few Negroes to one-white
high schools and has rejected ap
plications of about 50.
“There is now an intangible
area of atttude—of intolerance, if
you will—and there is not a great
deal the board can do about that,”
Tucker said. He said, however,
that the integration picture is
brighter than in 1957.
Elsewhere fights and a cross
burning marked an episode at an
integrated Air Force radar station
near Albuquerque, N. M.
Arguments and fights erupted
early Sunday at a dance at the
NCO Club between white and Ne
gro airmen. Later some of the
white airmen fashioned a crude
cross and set it afire.
Lt. Col. S. A. Tidwell Jr., com
mander of the West Mesa Radar
Station where the incidents oc
curred, made little of the situa
tion. But airmen reported Wednes
day that friction between white
and Negro airmen had been brew
ing for some time.
In Washington, a group of col
lege students picketed the White
House in support of Negro dem
onstrations against segregation of
lunch counters in the South.
Joseph Hernon, 23-year-old grad
uate student at Catholic Univer
sity, implied he had help from
Democrats in organizing the
march.
He said he got in touch with
leaders of the Democratic groups
at his own school and at George
town, George Washington, Howard
and American universities.
He led a group of about 20 Ne
gro and white students in a parade
to try to win approval by Con
gress of a strong civil right bill.
Picketing of downtown lunch
counters continued in Houston
