Washington Snapshots

The New Deal deck is being shuffled
with the greatest deliberation that has
been apparent since this administration
Eeame into power. Cards will be dealt
during the remainder of December and
play will start when President Roose-
welt delivers his first message to the
new congress. Play is going to be ex-
tremely cautious, with cards held close
to the waistline This will mark the
third hand with congress.
Very little is being said. but much
is being done. The most convincing out
ward evidence that lines are tightening
on Capitol Hill was the return of Vice
President Garner. He knows the inside
of every play. So does ore other man,
Louis Howe. Others know all about
some plays. Such men as Richberg and
Moley have the full confidence of the
President and know what is coming
in advance, but not always why One
of the severest fights within the Adj
ministration is between Housing Adj
ministrator Moffett who seeks 10 in
crease private home construction with
the government facilitating credit, and
Secretary Ickes who wants more and
more billions spent by the Administra-
ton for elaborate construction projects
Those who ought to know the gen.
eral drift of policy for the immediate
future save the fate of the National In
dustrial Recovery Act will not be de-
termined, not even seriously discussed,
until far along in the forthcoming ses-
sion of congress- The Administrations
strategy in that respect is expected to
follow closely the strategy employed
when MIRA was enacted The act was
thrown in as 9pinch-hitter substitute
for the proposed 30-hour week. Of
course, the 30-hour week proposal will |
be back, but it will not create the |
hysteria it did during the special SEES
sion of 1888. The next congress will eat
out of the Presidents hand. and the /
30-hour week will not be among the
items fed to the legislators from the
White House. Many have the feeling
that there is much good to be retained |
from the MIRA if it avoids attempts to |
regulate every move of industry and |
workers and instead encourages in |
dustrial self regulation with the gov
eminent protecting the public interest |
Or
Generally speaking, every congress
sional proposal that receives Admins
tration support, and every move initia-
ted by the Administration, is going to
have to stand up" under one question:
Will it reduce unemployment? Private
industry, speaking through the National
Association of Manufacturers, has APP
pealed for recovery ahead Of reform.
President Roosevelt has taken specific
recognition of that plea, and publicly
declared himself for such policy
Heretofore. politicians responsible for
legislation that proved detrimental to
private industry and business have Of |

Poultry Rations Have To
Be Fortified for Results

Experiments conducted at the State
College experiment station have shown
that it is necessary in washington to
fortify the poultry rations with vita
min D in order to secure maximum re-
suits, points out j. S. Carver, head OF
the poultry husbandry division.
Biologically tested cod liver oil, or
concentrated cod liver oil have been
found to be dependable sources OF
vitamin D for supplementing the poul-
try ration.
The lack Of correct amounts OF vita
min D in the chick and developing
rations causes poor growth, ricketts,,
bone deformities, and high mortality,
says Mr.. Carver Vitamin D should be
r supplied in the chick starting and de-
veloping rations by adding to each ton
of mash either 20 pounds Of biologic-
ally tested cod liver oil or sardine oil
or pounds of concentrated cod liver
| OIL
Insufficient amounts of vitamin d
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1934-01-11

fed in the laying ration cause heavy
mortality, low egg production, and
poor shell texture. Vitamin D should
be supplied in the laying ration by
adding either 20 pounds of biologically
tested cod liver oil or sardine oil or 5
pounds of concentrated cod liver oil to
each ton of laying mash.
Increased hatchability and better
chicks can be obtained by supplying
adequate amounts of vitamin D to the
breeding hens In mixing the breeding
mash, advises Mr.. Carver, add either
40 pounds of biologically tested cod
liver oil or sardine oil, or 10 pounds OF
concentrated cod liver oil to each ton
of mash.
