Strandloopers Not Extinct in Southwest Africa Official Says
An official of Southwest Africa's Union trustee territory reports strandloopers, once labeled extinct, still survive along the Namib coast near Zesfontein. The group, linked ethnologically to Bushmen and Hottentots, lives primitively, eating shellfish and small animals in a harsh Namib desert landscape stretching 850 miles along the Atlantic.

DFDT compound touted as more potent than DDT for insects
A German born cousin of DDT named DFDT shows greater knock down power against flying insects like house flies and may be less poisonous to warm blooded animals and fish. Dr W T Sumerford of the US Public Health Service presented findings at an American Chemical Society meeting in Savannah Georgia noting DFDT is Di Fluoro Diphenyl Trichloroethane and was used by Germans in World War II. DFDT lacks DDT’s broad insect kill but penetrates insect tissues more rapidly due to higher solubility and uptake.
