Reagan’s speech outlined
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
agan believes that unless the
Inited States helps Central
pierican countries shield
iemselves from communist
Aversion, the United States
suffer extremely grave con-
[quences, a spokesman said
day.
Deputy press secretary Larry
B. Speakes made the statement
when asked what Reagan hopes
i home-cotf toaccorn plish with his address to
a joint session of Congress
Wednesday evening.

of 7-2'
State of the Union addresses,
the forum of a special joint ses
sion has been used just nine
times since World War II and
indicates the importance
Reagan attaches to the speech.
“If a Marxist-type of govern
ment succeeds in Central Amer
ica, they are extremely dose to
the United States,” Speakes said,
outlining Reagan’s position.
The president believes unless
the United States shields itself
from subversion, extremely
grave consequences will result,
Speakes said.
Speakes said Reagan wants to
direct the attention of Congress
and the American people to the
seriousness of the situation and
to underscore contribution in
the economic, political and
security areas.
“He will focus on both the
short-term urgency as well as the
long-term needs of the region,”
Speakes said. “He believes some
countries have made good prog
ress toward democracy. He be
lieves the United States should
help in dollars and moral sup
port.”
The presidential spokesman
said Reagan believes there is a
challenge to U.S. ideals and na
tional security everywhere in
Central America and he hopes
to achieve bipartisan support for
his military and economic aid
package to El Salvador.
This challenge is highlighted
by the shipment of Libyan arms
captured in Brazil which were
destined for Nicaragua, Speakes
said.
“We believe it is only the tip of
the iceburg of the Cuban Soviet
effort to exploit poverty and in
stability in Central America,” he
said.
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Agricul
ture Department scientists say
the key to fighting insect pests in
this country may lie in croplands
overseas.
Scientists are searching fore
ign fields for the insect pests that
have migrated to this country
and for their natural enemies,
which in many cases have not
made the same trip, an article in
the current issue of the depart
ment’s “Agricultural Research”
magazine says.
Once they discover the pests’
natural enemies and study their
habits, the scientists hope to re
lease those insects on American
farms to battle pests that destroy
millions of acres of crops each
year.
The article quotes entomo
logist Robert Carlson of the 1-
year-old Asian Parasite Labora
tory in Seoul, South Korea, as
saying, “Such biological control
of insects is an increasingly im
portant way to protect our en
vironment while meeting Amer
ican expectations of food quali
ty, quantity and variety.”
The Seoul laboratory is one of
four similar facilities run by the
research service. The others are
in Rome, Buenos Aires, Argen
tina, and near Paris.
Their work involves not only
capturing the insect pests and
their insect enemies, but also
observing their behavior to de
termine whether the two species
could be expected to continue
their adversary relationships
under other conditions — espe
cially under the conditions that
exist in U.S. croplands.
Eventually, the most promis
ing species of insect parasites
and predators are flown to the
Beneficial Insects Research
Laboratory in Newark, Del., and
the Stoneville Research Quaran
tine Facility in Stoneville, Miss.,
the article says. There, further
studies determine whether the
parasites might be effective
against insect pests in this
country.
Sometimes, even though
natural enemies can control
pests in one part of the world,
they fail in another.
“An understanding of these
complexities is critical to our
success,” Carlson is quoted as
saying. “What plays in Seoul
may not play in Seattle.”
As an example, he cites the
gypsy moth caterpillar, which
has defoliated 20 million acres
of U.S. forestland in the last two
years.
The female gypsy moths
found in Asia can fly; those in
the United States and Europe
cannot, he says.
And while gypsy moths in the
United States chew their way
through acres of leaves and-
crops, those in Korea are not a
problem, he adds.
“By collecting the moths from
the wild, we hope to learn why,”
he says.

It was the third reported gang
rape in Massachusetts in less
than two months.
On March 6, a 21-year-old
woman claimed she was
assaulted on a pool table in a
New Bedford tavern for two
hours while patrons cheered.
Six men are awaiting trial in the
case. The woman has also filed a
$10 million damage suit.
Six men were charged with
rape and kidnapping earlier this
month for allegedly assaulting a
17-year-old girl in an apartment
in Boston. The woman told a
grand jury she was repeatedly
raped after being picked up in a
bus station by a man who prom
ised to loan her money for bus
fare home.
