Observers. Place

Fair Position
FDR Successor T
Following In
Leaders Steps
By HARRY McALPIN

WASHINGTON - (NNPA)-
Doubts concerning the trends of
the Truman administration -
whether toward the conservative
or liberal in policy-were dis
PEELED in his 10, 000-word mes
sage to Congress last week OBJ
servers here have conceded that
the President, despite the nature
Of some of his appointments to
high government and cabinet
positions, has aligned himself with
the liberals. -
Setting forth a 21-point pro-
gram, the President gave pro-
minent place to the FEPC. It
marked the first time since the
agency was created that mention
cf it has been included in
message from the President to
the Congress. It's inclusion puts
it in the category Of must legls-
lation.
Elsewhere in his message, Pres.
Truman went on record favoring
iberalized unemployment COM
pensation, increased minimum
wages, government participation
to insure full employment, steps
to prevent "shortsighted manage
ment" reducing wages and injur-
ing labor unions in the recon-
version period, retention of fed
eral control of the United States
Employment Service until the
major problem of placing wal
veterans and war workers in jobs
is accomplished, federal aid to
farmers in their reconversion
problems, board and comprehen-
sive housing legislation, protec-
ton and encouragement to small
business.
PROGRESS MADE
Concerning the FEPC, the
President declared: During the
years of war production we made
, substantial progress in overcom-
ing many of the prejudices which
resulted in determinations against
minority groups.
j Many of the injustices based
upon consideration of race, rellg-
ion, and color were removed
Many were prevented. Perfection
! was not reached, of course. but
substantial progress was made.
"In the reconversion period and
thereafter, we should make every
effort to continue this American
ideal. 1t is one of the fundamen-
tails of our political philosophy
and it should be an integral part
of our economy.
"The Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee is continuing
during the transition period.

iation be enacted placing tn

The Presidents statement that
the FEPC sis continuing during

| official indication of his inten-
ton not to permit the egency TO
die as result of the end of the
fighting phase of the war.

BY r. MELVIN

PENDLETON, oregon - The war
is over, but American paratroopers
are still fighting an enemy in these
Pacific Northwest woods, a common
ever-present enemy-FIRE.
For months now, Negro para
troopers of the 555th Parachute In
fantry Battalion have been jump
ing from Douglas CAT Troop Car
rier planes to battle big forest fires
in one of the worst years in this
sections history.
Faced with the manpowe' short
age, a dry season and more hres
than usual, the United States For
estry Service called on the Army
and these paratroopers furnished
the answer.
DARING JUMP
In many ways, these jumps are
just as daring, hazardous and spec
tacular, if not more, so than any OF
the combat parachute jumps made
in Europe. With no protection ey-
cept an asbestos helmet and mask
to protect their eyes, the para
troopers bail cut 1000 feet or more
into trees ranging from $50 to zoo
feet tall.
They use jump techniques per-
fected by the Troop Carrier Com
n and and the Parachute Infantry
School at Fort Benning, Georgia.
plus six weeks of f1refghting tech
nique taught them by the Forestry
Service.

tasks are always ready and fire.

Farming Notes
BY ROY II. GROUSE

Those farmers who sold feeder
calves in the sale last year would
have received better prices if the
bul calves had been castrated
and the bull and heifer calves de-
horned. This is a very simple
job bat means dollars to the pro-
ducer by doing it. The buyers
are requesting that this be done
while the calves are young which
Is the best practice.
Chemicals as caustic soda or
esustic potash are often used for
dehorning young calves which
can be purchased at drug stores
In stick form. This is used from
} days to 3 weeks old. After they
pass the young calf age mechani-
cal dehorners are used.
A small calf dehorner called a
"gouger" can be used successful
" CA calves l to 8 months old.
From this age up to 10 months a
mechanical dehorner with half
round cutting blades has proven
best Older animals are gener-
ally dehorned with clippers or
a saw. Ordinarily about one
quarter of an inch of flesh and
hair should be cut off at the base
Of the horn in order to insure a
smooth head. Use a fly repellant
such as pine tar around the
wound -
Castration of bull calves is best
performed when the calves are
from a few weeks to 8 or months
old. This operation may be done
at any season of the year when a
Elo0dless instrument is used.
