Hears Report from
E.V. Poultry Expert

Don CruiCk$hank, young poultry
breeder from Tho Acacia district.
explained advantages of a poultry
cooperative to Central Future Farm
9re at a regular meeting Wednesday
at the high school. Feed costs
through a cooperative he explained
may be reduced approximately one
sixth at present price levels.
Under the narrow price margin
which now exists this factor may
easily be the difference between
profit and loss. A cooperative also
offers TO the poultryman the ad-
vantage Of building up a credit re-
serve vitally important during the
paradox in egg production when
feed prices are high and egg prices
are low. Cruickshank said.
Another advantage of a coopcra-
tive. he stated. is the premium
price Offered for high quality egg
products received by the aSSocia-
ton. As a result of these premiums
CruickShank has adopted practiscs,
especially during the summer,
which insure high quality eggs.
These praCti,eS include the use
OF rice huilS for nest litter, collcc-
ton of eggs three times daily il
wire mesh baskets, storage of eggs in
an.air conditioned room and candi-
ing and grading of eggs prior to
Shipment
Cruickshank is a former student
of the vocational agriculture depart
ment at the Fremont high school

advantage. British sources said,
according to a dispatch from Webb
Miller in London, that "the public
must be prepared for further Allieo
Withdrawals in midNorway before
the Allied and Norwegian forces
can hope to gain the initiative
Fighting centered in the Tror.1-
helm region, on the west coast; in
the Gudprand valley region in mid
Norway, south of DombaaS, and in
the OeSter valley near the Swedish
frontier. The Germans appeared to
be on the defensive only around
Narvik. in the far north.
German bombing planes led re-
neWed Nazi thrustS up the Gud-
brands and Oester valleys toward
Trondheim Saturday but frontier
messages reported that Allied forces
were fighting back strongly in the
Otta and Roeros sectors.
The two German columns, driv-
ing toward DombaaS in the Gud-
brandsdal and toward Stoeren in
the Oesterdal in an effort to seize
the keys to the central Norwegian
communications system, were re-
ported TO have encountered rein
forced Allied defense lines and TO
have been halted or forced back
south of Otta.
Meanwhile Germans charged that
Great Britain and France had long
planned an invasion of Norway. that
Norway had connived in the plans
and that British troops actually
we're on the way to the Norwegian
coast when Germany landed oc-
ouDation forces April 8.
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, foreign
minister, made the charge before a
formally assembled, somberly clad
diplomatic and German and foreign
newspaper corps.
"All lies, all lies he said OF
French and British government as
sertions that during the Russo
Finnish war they wanted to land
troops in Scandinavia to aid Fin
land. They wanted, he said, to out
flank Germany as part of a deli
berately planned campaign to en-
broil neutrals on their side in the
war.
Germany. he said. would publish
documents, some captured from
British troops in Norway, in serial
form, to give documentary proof
that
1.-The Allies long planned to
occupy Norway; 2.-NorWay knew
this; 3.-Norway was ready to enter
the war on the Allied side; 4.-The
British plan was frustrated only
because Germany intervencd at the
last hour.
Implicitly, Ribbentrop answered
suggestions that Germany was plan
ming an invasion of Sweden by say
ing that in contrast to Norway
Sweden took an absolutely sincere
view of its neutral functions and
maintained true neutrality
In London, official sources used
Ribbentrop's own words to describe
his charges. "All lies, all lies they
said. Paris indicated the charges
too ridiculous to merit official COM
ment, but unofficial sources pointed
out that the German Trojan
Horse" tactics in Norway showed
Nazi, preparations at least two
months in advance to invade the

Clark County Judge
Grants Injunction

Springfield o. (OLNS). - Judge
Marion B. Owen in the Clerk of Coun-
ty Common Pleas Court has finally
given his decision in the injunction
suit against the Local Motion Picture
Operators Union making permanent
the restraining order issued more than
year ago by him denying members
of the Union from picketing the
Liberty Theater of Springfield.
The injunction was asked and grant
ed upon request of William Settos,
lessee of the theater, after Settos re-
fused to continue to employ members
of the Union. 1t was one of those
orders without an opportunity being
given for hearing. Not until last
June was the case heard on it's merits
and the judge withheld his decision
until last week when he made the or
der permanent.
Attorney Horace S. Keifer, local
counsel for the Motion Picture Oper-
ators' Union, is comforting with the
Springfield Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, officials and may appeal the de-
cision to the Second District Court of
Appeals for review.

A.F. Of L. Demands
New Labor Board
Present Set-Up Accused Of
Stupidity; incompetence.
Muludministrution

Miami, Fla.-The Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor,
at its wid-winter session here, declared
that labor, industry and the American
public "have lost confidence" in the
present National Labor Relations
Board and re-affirmed the Fedora
tion's demand that the present board
be abolished, that there be thorough
house-cleaning Of it's staff and that a
new board of five members be created.
The Council demanded that Congress
enact at this session the bill introduced
in the Senate by Senator Walsh and in
the House by Representative Barden
amending the National Labor Re-
lations Act.
Disclosures before the special
House committee investigating the
Labor Board have justified and con-
firmed the charges of bias and NAL
administration directed against the
board by the Federation of Labor"
the Council declared.
"The evidence has made clear to all
what we have known for long time:
that the present board and it's staff
are totally unfit for their important
duties, that this government agency
has never been an impartial umpire
but has guilefully and deliberately
sought to destroy the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and promote the in
terests of the C. l. o.
"The record Of the boards bias, stu
pidity and incompetence has become
so overwhelming as to call for drastic
action to save the National Labor Re-
lations Act from being undermined
and destroyed by it's own administra-
tors"

No Evidence Of Food
Profiteering Found

Washington, D. C.-The Depart
mcnt of Agriculture made public the
report from the Agricultural Advis-
Dry Council which indicated the prac-
tically complete absence of profteer-
ing in food.
The department said the finding of
the advisory council was based on the
reception of report from the Bu-
reau Of Agricultural Economics which
stated that there is mo statistical
evidence" of food profiteering since
the outbreak Of the war in Europe. In
fact, the margin between farm and
retail prices-as the report showed
is actually less than it was before the
war began. The report showed that
both farm and retail prices of food
have declined since the 'war bulge"
Of last September.
A second BAE report received by
the council which treated longer-range
aspects pointed out that by COM
parison with 1929 levels, food prices
are relatively low in relation to the
prices of other goods which make up
the average consumers cost of living

bankers who own these Cuban sugar
lands. | might cite other illustrations,
but time will not permit.
In closing, | might draw your at
tention to the fact that history warns
US that at the conclusion of the pres
ent European and Asiatic Wars many
Of the countries engaged in such wars
will be impoverished and will seek to
better their economic position, by the
production of such goods as they may
find market for in foreign lands. AL
ready the labor movement of France
and of England have made many sac
rifices, which to our mind it will take
them many years to again secure. We
do not believe that anyone with a
knowledge of history and having any
common sense can believe that the
present economic conditions of the
United States can be preserved and
American wages and American living
conditions maintained unless our
markets are protected now from the
inevitable flood of cheaply manufac-
tured goods and products which will
flood our country, the production of
impoverished nations driven to de-
struction by war expenditures.
Let me reiterate our emphatic oppo-
sition to Congress delegating to few
appointed officials of the government &
that responsibility which they are OBJ
ligated to perform.
We believe America should continue
to be government by law, applicable
to all, and, not as some would have
it, government of men.
