sand dollars, sea cucumbers, crabs
and such creatures to be found on
the feeding grounds Of the haddock.
A haddock Is fully grown between
4 and 5 years old. You can tell
fairly well its age by its scales. Not
quite as accurately as you can read
the herrings, but almost.
Having no real home ties, the had

sort of grazing like cattle. That is
why you may have wonderful luck
fishing for them one day and the next
not catch one haddock.
The spawning grounds Of this fish
are in water much deeper than IS Sc
lected by the cod. Eggs are found
floating on the water where it Is 100
fathoms deep. In Maine they are seen
in March. The eggs are laid from
January until June, temperature Of

At first the eggs are very buoyant,
without oil belt and very small. The

Joy eggs for breakfast" too. So it Is
not uncommon for a haddock weigh
ing about 912 pounds to lay 634,3so
eggs. When the water is about 81
degrees the eggs will hatch in II or
13 days. You can figure 1t out for
yourself what would happen If the
death rate among the younger fry
was not so high as 1t Is.

HOME PROTECTION
FROM RAD|OA ASKED
Mae West Program Using
Bible Described as
"NeW Low"

A movement such as the Legion Of
Decency is necessary ''to protect the
sanctity Of the home from RADIO" the
Rev. Or. Maurice s. Shee7y. head
OF the department Of religion OF
Catholic University, declared in an
address before the Newman Club of
George Washington University last
night.
More despicable than the thief who
invades YER home under the cover
OF darkness is the radio sponsor who
authorizes filthy or religiously irrev-
erent program" DR.. Sheehy declared.
The low spot in all broadcasting his
tory was, in my opinion, a broadcast
OF last Sunday in which Mae West
was presented as an interpreter Of
the Bible"
Program Cancellations Asked.
II would like to 60 on record as
saying" said DR.. Sheehy, that If the
Federal Communications Commission
does not investigate this matter we
shall shortly have new lot of COM
missioners. And I urge the officers
of the National Broadcasting Co. to
do their bit in the only way that
will effectively answer this challenge
to national decency-by not allowing
Chase & Sanborn to continue its
broadcasts.
"Inasmuch as I was advised last
week that such a pornographic pro-
gram was planned, I wrote to the
Chase & Sanborn Co. as follows: If
Mae West INDUCES in her usual risoue
line next Sunday, the Catholic press
and national Catholic organization
will appeal for boycott of this pro-
gram Despite that warning, Chase
g. Sanborn violated every law Of
decency in its broadcast, even over the
protest of its own actors.
THE Federal statute on broadcast
ing Is so vague that 1t is innocuous.
True, if the members of the Federal
Communications Commission wish to
protect people from such filth as
Chase & Sanborn purveyed last Sun
day night, they can do so. But do
they? "*%
Petition Suggested.
under the direction OF q Commit
tee Of Bishops, the Legion Of Decency
has done much to raise the moral
standard of the movies. basing its
action upon the assumption that there
are still enough decent people. Jewish,
Protestant and Catholic, to rally to its
cause. suggest that we petition this
organization to extend its efforts to
the field OF radio.
"Uultimately we must appeal to the
informed conscience of the individual,
and am asking you tonight to do
something about this affront to ma
tional decency."
DR.. Sheehy, who has just completed
a term of Office as president of the

Commenting on Michigan labor
troubles, Cameron said:
"The State has been filled with

were met by a Governor who believed
they were the advance guard Of

Behind the Governor was a Presi-

Nation something the people them
selves wouldn't stand for.

OF the President Of the United States

SLUM AID HELDUP
BY CONFIRMATION
Official Notice of So, 100000
Allotment All That
Is Needed.

All the Alley Dwelling Authority
needs to start its plans for a new
slum-clearance program in Washing
ton is of1cial confirmation of a re-
porSed 100000 allotment, John Ihl-
der. executive officer, said today.
An additional $33,700000 was ear
marked by the United States Housing
Authority early today for slum- clear
anoe projects in a number Of cities.
but nothing was set aside for Wash
ington. Director Nathan Straus, it
was said, had no ofIicial information
regarding a s3,0OO,OOo allotment for
the local Alley Dwelling Authority
beyond the fact that the question of
doing something about alley conditions
in Washington was discussed at the
White House, it was said.
The ALLEGATION of funds for the Dis
trict, it was pointed out, is matter
entirely up to the President, and until
an official announcement is forthcom-
ing from the White House the hands
of Mr.. Straus and Mr. Ihlder both
are tied.
Meanwhile, the local Authority,
which was taken care of under the
Wagner-Steagell Housing Act by an
amendment, is continuing its study of
available sites for alley demolition
with a view to putting the program
into execution as soon as the allot-
ment has been made.
There can be no immediate head
way, it was said, because of the neces-
sary process Of purchasing and con-
denning sites.
Condemnation proceedings are pend
ing on two alley sites, and while it
was hoped these sites would be ac-
ouired soon, there is no certainty of
it. These two sites, Burdens court
NV. and Oddfellows court Sc, are
the only two, it was said, which might
become available for building purposes
in short while.
II There are 176 inhabited alleys in
approximately l55 squares which will
be taken into consideration in con-
nection with the new slum- clearance
program.
The Alley Dwelling Authority, how
ever, does not intend to set up q for
NAL program. 1t will acquire sites
wherever possible, being governed en-
tirely by neighborhood conditions in
planning what to do with them.
For instance, there is an alley in
the immediate vicinity of the K
Street Market in an industrial or
business area. It would be mistake,
it was said, to build new homes in
the alley. 1t should be converted, in
stead, to business use, such as garages
Or parking space
The program must be kept fiex-
ible," it was explained.
The Alley Dwelling Authority hopes
that private investors will take over
many Of the alley sites for parking
and garage purposes, for which there
is an acute need in every section of
the city. If Congress carries out plans
for banning day and night parking in
the congested sections, it was ex-
planned, this should serve as an inn
Plus to private investment in the
alleys.

Edith Barry, 26, in the head at her
home, 4oo8 Third street NV, and
then flred two bullets into his own

opinion the powder in the 25-caliber
cartridges used by Barry was faulty,
probably due to age. DR.. Glen

Hospital, while her husband, whom
she identified as her assailant, was
placed under police guard IN CAL
