CHICAGO, July 24.-Faced with
a short crop of high-moisture corn
and a near record hay crop this
wear. farmers in the corn belt sud-
denly are scurrying after all the
artificial drying equipment they can
Law hands on in order to improve
both crops.
Little attention had been paid to
driers until now, but farm authori-
ties like the Illinois Agricultural
Association say wet hay and high
moisture corn have poor feeding
quality. Drying improves the pro-
tein content and prevents rottlng'
In addition, damp hay in a NOW
is a fire hazard because of the dan
ger of spontaneous combustion, and
hieh-moisture corn has sharply
lower value as a cash crop than
the drier top grades.
This is something new in the
farming industry" explains George
Metzger, field secretary of the as

lege experiment stations have been
doing lot of work to develop the
best drying methods, and now farm

ment forecast an estimated corn
crop of 2,770, $50 900 bushels, an i'm
provement over earlier estimates
and slightly above the 1O-year aver
age. On July the department fore
cast a hay crop of 103,182.0 tons
for one of the largest in history.
The corn crop estimate, under the
Government goal of 5000 ,000, 900
bushels, came after an April June
spring season having an averaye
excess of rain throughout the corn
growing belt estimated by the
Weather Bureau at to inches.
A drying system such as now in
great demand by farmers consists of
a heater, power fan and tunnels or
ducts circulating warm air through
the crib or NOV. The heater and
fan unit are about the size of a
Kitchen table. .-.
The tunnels or ducts may either
be of heavy steel wire mesh or of
wood with slots 2 inches wide.
They may be placed on the floor
of the NOW or crib and the hay
or corn piled in on top. AS warm
air is forced through the ducts the

cleared up we'll see a whole lot of
farmers in the next two or three

Pilot NOT AIert,'
Crash Probersf Find
By the ksseeiafed Press

The Civil Aeronautics Board said
Yesterday the crash Of an American
Overseas Airlines plane near Steph-
enville, Newfoundland, last October
3, killing 80 persons, resulted from
the pilots failure to be alert" to
hills lying on his nighttime course.
The pilot was William Rogers
Westerheld, 81, of New York, who
died in the crash. He had 1926
hours in the air.
In a report the CAB said 1t is
taking steps to simplify instructions
and keep pilots aware Of procedure
for safe climbing after take-of1s at
night or under instrument cond1-
tions at various airports.
The plane, with 81 passengers and
8 crew members, took off for Shan
non, Ireland, from Harmon Field
and 21z minutes later crashed into
a hill at an altitude of 1.160 feet.
The CAB noted that the naviga-
tional data carried in the plane
adequately described the terrain"
and said "it can be concluded that
the captain was not alert to the
procedure necessary for safe climb
from this runway"
Four Washington residents were
among the 80 persons killed in the
Stephenville crash.
They were Mrs. Aida B. Stabler,
1841 r street NV; Mrs. Vera
Hines, 1929 Thirty eighth street
N, Arlington, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Hawkins, 410 Rosemary lane, Falls

Tucker Makes a
Bow To Unions

Chicago (FP)-Preston Tucker
Chicago auto manufacturer who
has had to fight off the top auto
manufacturers to get his product
on the market, set new precedent
here by using a pro-labor publicity
angle to sell the new Tucker car.
The manufacturer staged 1-day
private showing of his auto at
giant Chicago stadium, inviting un-
ion members only to attend. A
group of his own employees, men,
bers of Local 83, United Auto
Workers, advertised the show by
picketing outside the stadium with
signs praising fuckers pro-labor
stand. More than 1876, 900 people
turned out for the show.
Tucker plans to start production
in the fall at former B-29 engine
plant and expects to employ a
maximum of $4,000.
In a speech defying the auto
monopolists who sought through
various devices to keep him out of
the field, Tucker told the crowd
that mo motor monopoly-power-
full as lit may be-can block this
great new production program
now"
According to Tucker, his en-
ployes will have first call on the
cars that roll off the plants assem-
bly, lines. The cars cost $1,S45.

: Thereby, the union hopes to
avoid completely the "red tape,
the penalties and the damage suits
provided for under the Taft Hart
ley Act.
The union emphasized that this
policy did not constitute a viola
ton of the law, but merely an
avoidance of its fangs and pitfalls.
A resolution adopted by the
convention laid down the rule that
existing contracts won't be renew
ed, nor new ones be signed until
free collective bargaining is again
recognized" A standard "condi-
tions of employment" form is to be
supplied by the international to
locals, and that will be uniform ex-
cept for local wage scales and
practices.
Members are to refuse to work
except where an employer accepts
these conditions, the resolution
specified. Thus, the Typos will, in
effect, be enforcing the "closed
shop" by direct action instead Of
by contract.
Collective bargaining will be
carried on "to the extent recogn-
lied by law" and terms agreed
upon may be included in the "con-
ditions of employment" The Taft
Hartley Act, it was pointed out,
specifically sets forth that neither
side is compelled to sign contract
or agree to any proposal.
: BY this decision, the union, one
of the oldest in the nation, ran the
curtain down on the century-old
policy of entering into written con-
tracts.

Chicago (ILNS). - William
Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, has again
challenged the Republican party to
nominate Senator Robert A. Taft
of Ohio for President in 1948.
The Republicans, Green declared,

Taft's running mate so that labor,
in defeating them, could repudiate
the labor bill which they sponsor

against the measure.
Some of the provisions of the
new law, now fully operative fo1
- he first time, are as follows:
4 The general counsel is establish
ed as labor relations controller
independent of the National Labor
Relations Board, while the latter
is shorn of its administrative func-
tions and is turned into a labor
court.
Formerly the general counsel
acted as an agent of the board,
he now has final authority to pass
on all charges of unfair labor prac-
tices and representation cases and
issuance of complaints.
Among the major new functions
delegated to the general counsel is
the prosecution of employees for
unfair labor practices. Hitherto
only employers were liable to pro-
secution for unfair labor practices
against employees.
The general counsel will investi-
gate for the first time complaints
by employers against unions, which
may be charged with having COM
mitted one or more of six prescrib-
ed unfair labor practices. They are
as follows:
Coercion of other employees in
their rights Of collective bargain
ing; discrimination under union
shop contracts for reasons other
than failure to pay dues; refusal
to bargain; engaging in certain
types of strikes and boycotts; ex-
acting excessive or discriminatory
fees under union shop agreements
nd engaging in "feather-bedding."

After a heated discussion, the

that the AFT maintain it's tradi-

qualified, however, by the Councils
statement that in a local situation
"when all other means of redress
have been exhausted, and the in
terests of children and teachers
are imperiled, the Council recog-
nizes the right of local unions to
take action they may deem necess-
airy to protect and promote educa-

The merit rating" system was
attacked as an "unsaund and dis
credited device" which the union
teachers charge "opens the door to

tion."
The delegates voted strongly in
favor of bills for federal financial
