kEEP ON THE JOB

Producers principally interested
in the sale of fluid milk need to keep
on the job if they intend to keep
abreast of increased consumption of
other dairy products" observes the
Dairymen's League News.
Consumption of fluid milk has held
TO comparatively unchanging levels.
while consumption of evaporated
milk per capita has increased so per
cent or more in ten years. and con-
sumption of cheese and butter have
likewise shown material gains.
Here is a big job for producers
and for their marketing cooperative
organizations. A substantial increase
IN consumption of fluid milk. by both
adults and children. is needed in the
interest of the public health. It's up
to dairy farmers. distributors and
others involved to sell" the public
the fluid milk story.

Despite the lack Of approval ac-
corded TO the administration of Miss
Perkins of the Labor Department
there has always been a disposition
to treat her as a lady. If for no
other reason than sex she is not
likely to be thrown out through an
impeachment in Congress.
The Dies committee of the House
has been given clubbings up to date
because 1t made a big fuss about La
Dor Department favOritism for Wild
eyed Harry Bridges. CIO big-shot on
the Pacific Coast.
Just why should the Dies group be
given the works" because 1t showed
up a lot of un-American activities? !?
The LaF'ollette committee in the
Senate has spent ten times as much
money, smeared more people, and
done considerable less good than the
Dies committee. Why doesn't some
body raise a voice to stop It? The
Civil Liberties group specialized on
the defects and practices of a mere
handful of industries, whose con-
duct in labor troubles had previous
ly been widespread in the daily ac-
counts of sitdown strikes and other
CIO rows and eruptiOns.
Anyhow, the Dies committee has
made a good start despite the fact
that few crack-pOt witnesses mud
died its proceedings. II turned out
to be an improvement over the La
Toilette group. which dug up lot
of dirt. The Dies House Committee
has done at least some valuable in
vestigating, providing, of course.
that there is any real merit in this
kind of Congressional Investigations.
Uerhaps a few high-grade policemen,
or the G. men might do better.

Cotton Conference, Maybei

The United States has a surplus Of
cotton, and so has the rest of the
world. Secretary Wallace appears to
have been beaten in his great efforts
to control production and prices, and
to bring prosperity to the cotton
growers in this country. This is
perhaps why the Administration is
considering calling an international
cotton conference to divide up the
markets of the world. Government
aid to the cotton growers does not
seem to be opposed in Washington.
The feeling is equally strong in be-
half of the United States guarding
its own cotton interests and avoiding
International entanglements. But

Ex-Nazi Fails to
Convince Judge He
Has Changed Mind

DETROIT, Dec. 7. CUP)-Kurt q.
w. Ludecke, one time Nazi agent
who wrote book about his friend
ship with Adolf Hitler, today sought
means of proving that he has re-
nounced his former ideals. He must
prove it if he is to become an AM
erican citizen.
The author of Il Knew Hitler
told Federal Judge Arthur j. Tuttle
at naturalization hearing last
night that his opinions had changed
after the Nazis arrested him on
political charges in Germany in
1888, declaring that "even pagans
have become Christians. But the
court was not impressed.
You're just a cheap politician
and a hanger-on," Judge Tuttle
said. "You would have remained in
Germany if you could have gotten
a Job from the Nazi party
The judge adjourned the hearing
until Dec. l8, advising:
Bring two attorneys the next
time. if necessary, and as many
witnesses as you can to let me know
what you have been doing since
YOU changed your mind"

Atom Smosher May Break
Down Wild Cancer Cells

Ludwig Hektoen. director of the
National Advisory Cancer Council.
Dr. Lawrence gave a graphic des-
cription of the operation of the
medical cyclotron, particularly con-
cerning some of the difficulties that
have been overcome or are being
overcome in the breaking in" of
this largest of the atom -smashers
and the handling of its potent ra-
diations.
"The new installation has been
steadily improved, and at the pre-
sent time it is gratifying to report
that it is performing even better
that we had reason to expect" he
reported. "The outfit runs with
complete steadiness and reliability
when producing 100 microamperes
of 16 million volt deuterons Cor
one microampere of 100000 volt
alpha particles), and under these
conditions the output of neutron
rays, gamma rays, and radioactive
substances is prodigious. The latter
are being sent to many parts of the
world for experimental purposes.
1.-THE neutron intensity is about
ten times from the 37-inch CYCLIC
tron and will make it possible to
give treatments at a distance of a
meter from the target in a few
minutes time. Should it prove de-
sirable, also, we will be able to
arrange treatment ports to treat two
or more patients simultaneously.
These same remarks likewise apply
to gamma rays, for we have plenty
of gamma radiation of the energy
range above a million volts also
available for therapy. But it is the
intention this year to concentrate
on neutron therapy.
1--WE have found that the yield
Of radioactive substances has gone
up according to expectations. For
example, the yield of radioactive
iodine at 16 millions volts is 20
times greater that at eight million
volts, and we can now manufacture
enough of this material to use it
for therapeutic purposes, should
this prove desirable"
In his report, DR.. Lawrence also
threw some light on the production
of synthetic radium from the medi-
cal cyclotron:
"On one occasion recently as. a
test, we bombarded copper for 20
minutes and produced an amount
of radioactive zinc, half life 40 min
uteS, equivalent in gamma ray ac-
tivity to two grams of radium. From
this we can calculate that we can
now produce the equivalent of at
least 20 grams of radium longer
lived substances, ard in all likli-
hood we shall be able to produce
the equivalent in even larger
amounts.
I think that we shall eventually
get up to the region of 100 grams
of radium, but at the present time
the chief practical difficulty is in
handling these large amounts OF
radioactive materials. 1t is for this
reason alone that we have confined
our performance tests to only two
grams equivalent"

Negotiations between the Interna- tional Union of Mine, Mil and Shelter Workers, c. I. O., and the American Brass Co. plants at Wa terbury, Ansonia and Torrington. will soon be renewed, as 8 result of the c. I. O. victory in the election held at the Torrington plant yester- day under the supervision of the National Labor Relations Board.
 The c. I. O. union received 9S1 votes to serve as exclusive bargaining agent for the American Brass Co. employees in Torrington. There were 481 votes cast in opposition.
 In all three plants, the union is seeking strict rights of seniority, va- cation with pay, a pension system and a union shop.
 In yesterdays election at Torring- ton there were 1,463 votes cast, out of a total of 1,514 eligible voters. There were 31 votes rejected.
 The union is expected to seek to negotiate for employees of all three American Brass branches at the same time, and to secure the same contract.
 A contract between the American Brass Co. plant in this city and the Waterbury Brass Wor6srs Union, local of the International Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, expires soon.
