D THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1951 O WNFALL OF DDT: Science Breeds Super Roach * * * * By RICH THOMAS A new strain of super cock- roaches may creep into the kitch- ens and bakeries of America sometime in the not too distant future. The new roach will not derive its strength through some other- world parentage, b u t rather through its ability to withstand the deadly whiffs of DDT which today's householders puff its way. ** * THIS STARTLING bit of insec- ticana was discovered recently by research entomologists at the Vir- ginia Experiment Station at Blacksburg, Va. Workers there have learned that cockroaches, like some strains of the household fly, can become resistant to DDT. So resistant, in fact, that seventh generation roaches bred at the station can even swim in a le- thal mixture of DDT and sur- vive. The breeding process itself is a hopped up application of Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest, according to U. N. Lanham, in- structor in the University's zoology department. * , * A GROUP of cockroaches are herded together and sprayed with a "sub-maximal" dose of DDT, Lanham said. Most of the bugs are killed, but the strongest roaches survive and are allowed to breed. The offspring of the remain- ing cockroaches are then given the same treatment as their parents, only the DDT dose is strengthened slightly to make 'U' Research Group Will Visit Japan A faculty member and three students from the University's Center for Japanese Studies will study Japanese Society at the center's field station at Okayama, Japan. Prof. Mischa Titiev, of the an- thropology department, Mrs. Ti- tiev and their son will sail from San Francisco, Calif., Tuesday. Prof. Titiev will study the influ- ence of kinship on social structure and Mrs. Titiev will do research on Japanese folk music. Forrest Pitts, Grad., will study the elements that make a high standard of living in the densely' populated Inland Sea area around Okayama. David Wheatley, Grad., will do research on the influences of pop- ulation growth on Japanese com- munities and David Plumer, '53, will serve as research technician at the field station. All of the researchers will take part in the station's general study of the effect of western civi- lization on Japan's folk culture. Gifts of $7,000 Received by 'U' Two gifts totaling $7,000 have been given to the University by the John Harper Seeley Founda- tion, University Secretary Herbert Watkins announced yesterday, One will be used for the John Harper Seeley Fund for Research in the business administration school and the other for a gradu- ate fellowship in the school for the year 1951-52. Students in Theft Case Ask Hearing A preliminary hearing on break- ing and entering charges was de- manded in municipal court yes- terday by two 26-year-old Uni- versity students. The pair, Paul F. Kluth, Grad., of Berwyn, Ill., and Felix Miel- zynski, '51, of Santa Barbara, California, were picked up by po- lice early Wednesday in connec- tion with. the burglary Tuesday night of a N. University drug store. They are slated to appear for the hearing, which will determine whether or not there is enough State's evidence to hold them for trial, on March 1. * * * BOND OF $2,500 was set for Kluth by Municipal Judge Fran- cis L. O'Brien, while Mielsynski was confined to the County Jail in default of posting a $5,000 bond. Kluth was arrested after John Alexander, a co-owner of the store, identified him as the "suspicious man" seen hanging around shortly before the burg- lary attempt about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police said Kluth implicated Mielzynski as the one who broke into the store while he acted as "lookout." Mielzynski denied be- ing in the vicinity at the time. A patrolman making a routine check of his beat almost walked into the burglary attempt. He dis- covered the rear door to the store open and an Army musette bag loaded with loot nearby. Two other University students informed him that they had pass- ed the pair on the street minutes before discovering the store had been entered. q I s MICHIGAN DAILY Phone 23-24-1 HOURS: 1 to 5 P.M.

Although the most hearty of these roaches have survived repeated DDT attacks, scientists are confident that an insecticide can be developed to put an end to them. * up for the new generation's in- creased immunity. The process is repeated again and again until you've got a cock- roach who can be dunked into DDT as neatly as a donut into coffee. THIS SAME process can easily be repeated in nature, Lanham said, if DDT is used as the sole control. Will the roaches ever over- run the United States kitchens like the grasshoppers over ran our wheat farms in the dusty 1930's? Probably not, Lanham com- mented. "We have enough other insecticides to kill off the cock- roaches which become immune to DDT for some time to come." When those run out, someone has suggested that the hammer is still an effective weapon in bug control. 04 kk SUPPORT PHOENIX Tel. 2-2678. )5A WANTED TO BUY PAIR SKIS - 6%i ft., with binders.
