Government Chick Purchases

Government OhIck Purchases
To the Editor Of The Star:
I read with alarm the news articles
on the front page Of The Evening Star
for February 81 and %, disclosing that
our President and the Department of
Agriculture are afraid Of overproduc-
ton OF poultry.
We housewives have long been await
Ing the time when we could serve our
war-hungry families broilers and fry
ers for less prohibitive price than the
49, SO and So cents q pound we have
had to pay on the rare occasions when
we dared to stretch our budgets that
far (not all our husbands have struck
for higher wagesD.
can remember the time when tender
young fryers went begging at Is cents
pound and even Is cents each and no
one then complained Of an over
production!
Secretary Wallace Justly has called
the attention of the Government to the
appalling undernourishment of District
school children. Any one who has eyes
to see and goes back and forth to the
store every day as any housewife does
can verify the truth of this statement
for himself.
Since our Government is planning
on serving lunches to the little school
children, why not purchase all surplus
broilers at Is cents each and serve half
OF one to each child? Young chicks
would provide most excellent nourish-
ment to young children, many of whom
never get anything much better to eat
than fried scrappel. This sort of lunch
also would be very economical.
Better still, our Government should
encourage (and not discourage as great
production as possible of all foodstuffs.
We have had to tighten our belts dur
Ing the war and we were glad to do so.
but now that our boys have come home
or are coming home, we would appreci-
ate an abundance of good food at prices
we can afford so that we may help to
rebuild tired bodies and prepare them
for useful civilian life.

lRr As.ocInted Pressl


WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The
CLIO Maritime Union strike was
settled this morning, and. most
of the workmen are expected to
be back on their ships before the
day ends.
Joseph Curran, head of the
union, announced the strike had
been settled by the shipowners'
agreeing to pay the Go sea-
men wages similar to those re-
ceived by A. F. of l.. sailors.
But another seamen'S strike.
may occur on September 80, at
which time the agreement be-
tween longshoremen on the west
coast and shippers come to an
end. Harry Bridges, head of the
union, said at the time the agree
ment was made that, at the end
of 80 days, he would demand that
longShoremen on the west coast
be given higher wages. The 90
day period expires on September
80.
Should the longshoremen go on
strike at that time, seamen's
unions may join in a sympathetic
strike.

Safety Director Answers
Critic Of Gambling Arrests

An assertion by reader of The
Citizen that gambling operators
who forfeit bond by not appearing
in court to answer charges of
operating a game of chance"
should be re-arrested and heavily
fined was classed today by Public
Safety Director Roy Hamlin as
the ''mouthings" of a politician or
a person wishing to embarrasS
the city.
The Citizen yesterday carried
an article announcing that Chief
of Police Bienvenido Perez had
arrested 33 operators and charged
them with operating a game of
chance. The raids netted the
oiiy's treasury 1925.
1.-THE article made reference to
the belief that the operators
would fail to make an appearance
in court and thereby forfeit their
$25 bond, under which they were
placed at the time of their arrest.
Today, an individual asked The
Citizen, "Why was this done?
The operators should be rear
rested and fined heavily for es-
treating their bond"
Answers Individual
This question was then placed
before Puoiic Safety Director
Hamlin. Ii was then Hamlin de-
clared that the person asking such
a question was either a politician
or someone desiring to cause the
city embarrassment.
Mr.. Hamlin further added that
this individual seems to be adj
vocating the return of the old
practice of handouts" for pro
lection.
Under the present method"
Hamlin said, "the money will go
into legitimate channels"
Director Hamlin asserted that
"it is foolish to think we could
re-arrest the operators when it is
understood that this will not be
done"
I'VE will continue to make these
periodic arrests" Mr.. Hamlin
stated. These last round-ups
brought 1925 to the city's treas
ury.
IF you try to do what is right,
you still get it in the neck"

Evening star., 1946-03-03

In the Ulysses expedition of 1878.
the vessel was at sea 10 months, cruised
10000 miles, obtained nearly 100000 bar
rels of oil from $500 whales. The pre-
war quotation for whale oil was $50 to
$50 a barrel. Just on the eve of World
War II the only factory ships oper-
ating under Old Glory were the Ulysses
and the FRANCO.
Comdr Walsh, who comes from New
London. Conn. and holds the Navy Cross
for heroism and bravery in the assault
on Cherbourg France, says factory ships
are far cry from the old New Bedford
whalers Some of the larger factory YES
sells with a capacity Of more than $500
barrels of Oil daily, capture more in two
days than the original floating fac
tories of 1904 were able to obtain in an
entire season. the commander explains.
One modern factory ship can take
more whales in season than the entire
American whaling feet of 1846-just a
century ago-numbering more than TOO
vessels. Comdr. Walsh asserts.
Dr.. Deason says the Interior Depart
ment has received a number of inquiries
about the regulations recently. He sees
little use in making over wartime yes
sells. because special craft, with a stern
tunnel for hauling whales aboard, are
required.
Evening star., 1946-03-03
Licenses in I. S. Cost
$1,000 Each Per Season

There was ~lo activity in l945, DR..
Deason says. The law requires whal-
ing license from the Secretary of the
interior and it costs $1,000 per season.
Norway, Great Britain, Japan, the
United States and Australia have been
leaders in the whaling industry. There
used to be whaling station near Eu-
reka. Calf DR.. Deason says. but this
has ceased to function Up to l94l there
was small shore station in Alaska,
but this also has gone,
Whalebone whale oil has been used
largely in the United States for soap
manufacturing. But with the refine
ment of fats and oils, whereby chemi-
cal action can substitute one fat for
another. the whale has become less in
diSpenSable in this industry, DR.. Deason
asserts.
Sperm whale fisheries are of lesser
significance. This oil is used more for
fabrication It has viscosity unaf-
fected by great ranges of temperature.
1t is used in fine precision instruments,
such as watches clocks and microscopes.
Some types of machinery in submarines
and airplaneS are fabricated by sperm
oil
Whaling also has adopted the latest
strides in communication for its usage.
Killer boats keep in touch with the fac
tory ship by radio-tdephone: direction
finders aid them in navigation; the
short-wave radio brings them news
clear to the Antartic ice cap. But the
highly competitive commercialization OF
the age cannot completely obliterats
the glamour of yesteryear.
Evening star., 1946-03-03
War Makes an End
To Whaling Holiday

From beginning of $500 to 5000 ton
steamers, DR.. Kellogg explains factory
ships later ran around 10000 tons The
preWar giant of the whaling fleet was
the 30,000-ton Terje Vixen.
The whaling holiday brought about
by the kerosene lamp gas mantle. cleo
trio light, abandoning of whalebone for
womens corsets, was ended by the de-
mands of war. The market for glycern,
used in making munitions, spurred the
modern whaling industry DR.. kellogg
states.
The 1878 catch on the eve of
World War II netted 3,34O,33O barrels
of whale oil. most of it from finback
and blue whales. record of 54664
slaughtered whales was set.
In 1878, Comdr Walsh cruised in the
factory ship Ulysses to the Antarctic
under the United States flag He sailed
from Norway to the Indian Ocean. to
Walvis Bay in Southwest Africa and
thence to the Antarctic The vessel re-
turned to the United States by way of
the east coast of South America. He
wrote a tWo-volume report available for
future guidance of the Coast Guard in
this field.
Comdr. Walsh explains actual mod
ern whaling practice:
The factory ship, used to process
whale products, is accompanied on the
whaling grounds by half dozen killer
boatS'-small craft that go out and get
whales. These chaft are from 125 to
200 feet long and carry a crew of Is to
25 Whales must come to the surface
frequently to breathe-for they are
mammals. Lookouts spot the monsters
The killer boats are steel-hulled
vessels. driven by powerful engines that
enable the craft to make about 16 knots.
Their function is to kill whales and de-
liver them to the factory ship.
Key man on the killer boat" is the
one who aims the harpoon, 6 feet long,
fired by 312-inch cannon. The har-
poon is pointed, with hollow cast-iron
bomb which is filled with black blasting
powder. A time fuse ignites the
