Hoover Goes To Bat
For Reaction
BY Federated Press

WASHINGTON-A bill author
izing the President to use volun-
tary or compulsory measures to
get both men and women into war
industries actually move to
draft all labor - was introduced
Feb. 8 by two Republicans.
Providing a sort of emotional
setting for it, former President
Herbert Hoover testified in a Sc
cret session of a senate appropria-
tions subcommittee hearing which
was given a tremendous buildup
in publicity, that we need a million
more workers. According to Hoov-
er, the size of the army must be
limited.
In his typical defeatist manner
he worried over possible internal
degeneration such as is now the
fate of Germany"
The way Senator Warren Austin
of Vermont and Representative
James w. Wadsworth of New York
would fix up the home front is
to let local draft boards under a
presidential approved manpower
master plan take control over
manpower if the President decides
recruitment is not satisfactory.
Authors Had Help
The bills authors said they had
the help of Grenville Clark, Wall
Street attorney, in drafting it.
He is the author of the first draft
of the selective service act which
would have fixed the pay of men
in the army at SIS month. Of
ficials of the American Legion and
the Citizens Committee for Ma
tional Service Act also obliged with
their help.
In a statement they carefully
pointed out that while the bill
didn't prevent anyone's joining a
labor union neither did it state
that anyone should not be forced

to the Little Steel Formula
for settling wage disputes
but because it was attempting the

dividual merits.
Can't Regiment Free Labor
In discussing the War Manpower
Commission, Reuther denounced eff
forts to write legislation regiment

the people to give their best efforts
to the war, voluntarily.
Reuther advocated an "Overall

and the War Manpower Commits

repeated Earl, the six-year-Old Tom
Thumb in his white admiral's uni
form. His listeners didn't under
stand what lie meant. When, how
ever, he pointed to the miniature
bridegroom on his wedding cake,
everyone at dhe reception smiled
i'm recognition, and Earl expressed
surprise to learn that the little
black groom was not edible.
We were glad to have so many
guests attend the wedding and re-
ception. Peggy Lemon, her dark
beauty enhanced by an American
Beauty gown, delighted everyone
before the ceremony by singing Il
Love You Truly" and "Oh Promise
Me-" The bride, five-year-Old Ar
lene, looked so cunning in her EN-
pire gown of white marquisette,
finished with a sweetheart neck
line edged with rose-point lace.
Her long tulle veil was fastened
to a Juliet cap. She carried a
shower bouquet of white roses and
baby breath. The brides attend
ants wore empire gowns of pastel
geOrgette with perky hats and car
ried colorful miniature delphinium
and baby breath.
The bTidegrOOm's attendants
were all in service uniforms. Four
of the eight ushers formed the
saber arch, under which the bridal
party passed, returning immedi-
ately to form the receiving line.
Joe, the minister. in performing
the ceremony, used a version pre-
pared by Miss Fellows. our super
intendent. The dignity of the Occa-
sion was interrupted when Janet.

had to be reminded to relieve the
bride of her bouquet when she
needed her left hand TO receive /

motion to the bridegroom brought |
no results when he indicated the
time for him to kiss his bride. So.
Joe. taking advantage, performed
that obligation, too. This halted
the procession momentarily, at the
same time amusing the guests. The
bride broke another custom. In
stead of throwing her bouquet to
some one of her attendants at the
appointed time, she saved it for
her real mother.
A brief program took place dur
ing the reception. The brides par
ents and grandparents sang. Then

Control Chicken Pox
By Vaccinating Soon
CONTINUED from FIRST Page,

The best months to vaccinate
are during June and July, while
the young stock can be left on
range for at least a month after
vaccination. The vaccine gives the
birds a light case of the pOx and
they will recover more easily in
fresh air and sunshine.
The job will be easier If all birds
on any range or in a single house
are vaccinated the same day, since
this will avoid necessity of mark
ing birds which have received
treatment.
Delaware residents may obtain
fowl pox vaccine free from the
poultry department of the State
Board of Agriculture at Dover as
long as the supply lasts.
Several commercial companies
manufacture and sell both fowl pox
and pigeon pox vaccine. Pigeon
pOx vaccine gives the flock pro-
lection for only a few months. but
since it affects egg production very
little yet stops further spread of
the disease, it is usually used for
outbreaks i'm flocks already laying.
