SEALS AID BIG
 SOCIAL PROBLEM
Training of Handicapped Youths, Adults for Use.
 full Occupations

The need of training handicapped youths and adults for employment and of finding jobs adapted to their anllltles was stressed today by w. Watson House, state president of the Connecticut Society for Grip pied Children and Adults.
 MT. House pointed out that this Is one of the points in the program of the society, which is supported by the annual sale of Easter seals. now in progress.
 "The Easter seal sale is a re- hinder of the social problem caused not only by the fact that crippled children grow up and need em- ployment, but also by the great number of persons who have been injured in the armed forces or in industry, MT. House said.
 "The Connecticut Society is mak- ing an effort to cooperate with all agencies, both public and private, to exploit to the full community re- sources for the proper placement of the crippled and disabled in re- iiuiASAoVAFS JOD'ob IlC COAACllluCQ. 11C called attention to the need of maintaing mutual contact between these agencies and the representa- tives of industry
 Physically handicapped workers can be a definite asset to the com munity if we exercise an ordinary amount of judgment in placing them," MT. House said. We also owe the veteran an opportunity to regain his self-reliance and econ- omic independence when humanly possible. The society's rehabilita- tion workshops provide an ideal program of readjustment for that period between the veterans dis charge from a service hospital and his reentry into economic life.
 "The work of the society pays high social dividends and should have the support of us all"

WHTSKY-FLAVORED
 STEAKS DEBATED
Senator Thomas Under stands Meat Packers Use
 Everything But SqueaIs
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN


 Washington, March 28-(UP)-If you had a beefsteak, the odds are against it being favored with bour- bon whisky. The U. s. senate and l are in position now to guarantee that 1t would taste like steak, if you can remember that far back.
 You've been reading about the senate agriculture committees in- quiry into the meat shortage. Well, sir, the proceedings were going along smoothly with the witnesses spouting figures like so many saul sage machines.
 Then came MT. Paul Thompson, who wore blue suit with a watch chain across his middle and who looked like a senator. He identified himself as 8 farmer of Clinton, Ind. He said he thought he ought to mention the fact that he made a business of feeding cattle at dis tilleries.
 ''At whisky distilleries?" asked Sen. Elmer Thomas of Okla, the chairman.
 "Yes, sir, testified Thompson. q feed great many cattle at distil- lerieS. feed them the residue that is left over after the whisky is made and I just thought some senators might be interested in what part of the distilleries' product goes into beef"
 The senators were interested, all right. You can bet on that. Farmer Thompson explained the process of whisky making, the drying of the residue from the mash and the feeding of it to cattle. They eat this," he said. They like it. But they don't like that other product Che shruddered) that distilleries make. Sometimes distillery makes an error and there is alcohol left in the residue. The cows don't relish it."
 Sen. Thomas said he once was in a diStillery where he saw the resi- due being dumped into the river. Wasn't this waste? Farmer Thompson said it was: COWS would have liked it. He said it contained 28 per cent protein and nine per cent fat.
 Couldn't it be fed to hogs?" asked the chairman.
 They like it all right" Thomp- son said, but it's too bulky. Their stomachs aren't big enough"
 Came then the worrisome ques- ton. Sen. Thomas said it was his understanding that the meat of steer frequently is favored by the food it eats. Could it be, he said, that distillery-fed COWS produce whisky favored steaks?
 "Oh no, sir" cried Thompson. This mash is as clean 8 thing as, well, oatmeal. The flavor of distil- lery-fed beef is very good"
 ''Yes, but doesn't that mash sit around and sit around for days?" demanded Sen. Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana.
 "Oh no, senator" retorted Thompson. If it sat around like that, it would make sour whiskey. You know that"
 Sen. Ellender said he didn't know it, but that he understood 8 chicken that had been fed on milk was excellent. Farmer Thompson said it certainly was.
 If this sounds confusing, just remember, please, that I'm jotting down events as they occurred.
 Anyway, Sen. Thomas said he understood that meat packing houses were so efficient they used everything but the squeal. Gaugh-

8. Consideration by the, unions

halt work in General Motors tool
and die plants.
4. A blockade on the picket lines
against General Motors office
workers, who are not on strike.
Walter P. Reuther, UAW vice
president and director of the un'
ions General Motors division, an
nounced yesterday that the union
would ask the company Monday TO
resume talks on the wage de-
mandS.
The union asked 80 per cent
more, and the company at one
time offered 10 per cent increase.
The GIN offer was withdrawn, how
ever, after the start of the strike.
Reuther said the request for
resumption of negotiations should
not be interpreted as sign the
union was weakening in its deter
mination to get the 80 per cent. He
said such negotiations were normal
in all strikes.
The invitation to the Washington
conferences will be delivered by
Edgar L. Warren. head of the
Labor Departments Cancellation
service. Schwellenbach plans to
confer separately with union and
corporation officers before trying
to bring them together in a Joint
conference. The date for the Open
ing of the meetings has been set
tentatively for Wednesday, after
completion of the UAW board
meeting here.
Union officials have said they
would welcome the labor depart
ment intervention, but the COM
pany has withheld comment.
The UAW officials at their ex-
ecutive board meeting probably
will consider whether to clamp
down harder on General Motors
by tying up tool and die work be-
ing done for the corporation. This
might be accomplished by calling
on workers in ITS tool and die
plants to refuse to handle products
designated for General Motors.
Reuther said such action probably
would be taken eff it appears pro-
duction of supplies will benefit
: General Motors"
With the strengthening of picket
5 lines tomorrow, the number of per-
sons idled by the strike probably
will soar to nearly quarter mil
lion. About IT'S, 900 UAW members
joined the walkout last Wednes-
, day, and the unions announce
ment that all office workers would
be prevented by picket lines from
