Anybody who knows the answer
to that one, please contact John

large chicken egg.
At first, Cox thought he had

among farmers. However, Tues

Elsie, broke open the egg she
found inside another egg. 1t was

give never seen anything like
it BEFORE" Cox said. 'I've seen
double yolks and sometimes a soft
shell egg inside another; But this
is the first time I've found one
hard-shell egg inside another. J
think it's unusual"
1t is. And for the benefit OF
those who believe only what they

all of the appropriation bills will
be through the House by the middle
of May. The Senate will be acting
on them in the meantime, as they
come along. The new fiscal year
begins July 1.
Senator Tydings said the budget
ceiling process the Senate now is
going through would no longer be
necessary if the proposed constitu-
tional amendment is adopted. The
present procedure, which has given
rise to such controversy, was pro-
vided for in the Congressional Re-
organization Act last year.
Senators Byrd, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia, and Butler, Republican, of
Nebraska, recently proposed an
other alternative method of improv-
ing budget procedure. They would
have Congress enact all Federal
appropriations for a year in one
supply bill.
Senator Byrd said yesterday he
hopes the Senate Rules Committee
soon will consider this measure
which he described as "the business

BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Feb. 22.-The Brit
ish Navy has intercepted an immi-
grant ship, the S. S. Julia, with soc
uncertified Jewish refugees aboard
and now is escorting her to the Pal
estine port of Haifa. unofficial but
reliable sources said today.
Meanwhile, DR.. Barnett Brickner
of Cleveland, Ohio, told a news con-
ference today that Palestine would
experience a terrific movement OF
Jewish immigrants" this spring and
summer.
There are 5000 displaced Jews
in Italy, Germany and Austria
said Rabbi Brickner, who has just
completed tour of European dis
placed persons camps, And ap-
proximately 80 per cent of them
have but one goal-f1ight to Pales-
tine. This spring and summer the
Mediterranean will be crowded with

DR.. Brickner, who is studying the

Winecoff Fire Gave Impetus.
About 10 days before the post
ponement last December 81, city in
spectors reported to the Commits
sioners that violations existed in
1888 of $500 buildings given a pre-
liminary check. Impetus for this
survey was furnished by the Wine

$4,000.
Arthur Harnett, secretary of the
Hotel Association of Washington
said he had been told by the build
ing inspectors Office that not more
than 10 per cent of all buildings in
Washington covered by the laws
measure up to their specifications at
this time.
With respect to the rule against
the placing OF a boiler beneath a
place of assembly, Mr.. Harnett said
it was doubtful if one of 100 restau-
rants now comply.
Charles j. Rush, of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, said none of
the owners want to jeopardize the
public, but that all favor a more
practical set of regulations.
I'VE are all for striving for an
ideal he said, so long as it doesn t
mean bankruptcy"
Early in January, the city heads
ordered building inspectors to unite
with flremen in a recheck of the
violations initially reported. Their
instructions were to make a COM
plete listing of faults for the pur-
pose of telling owners what would
have to be done to insure compliance
before the July l deadline.
In the course of the survey, the
inspectors turned up another 400
buildings with violations, bringing
the total to 2,128.
Appeals from the inspectors find
ing may be lodged with a hve-mem-

The second break was huge

it was found the company had not
condoned the strikers conduct.
In yesterdays decision the board
held the case involved the doctrine
of it's ruling in the American News
Co. New Jersey case of 1914. Al
that time it was held that a strike
to force an employer to violate the
Wage Sterilization Act was not pro-
tected by the Wagner Act.
The Thompson decision. however
set precedent in that it was the
first time the board had ruled work
ers should be deprived of Wagner
Act protection when striking in the
attempt to force violation of thai
act.
The new decision was written by
NLRB Chairman Paul M. Herzog
and concurred in by James j. Rey-
nolds, jr. new board member. The
other member of the three-mar
board, John NJ Houston, did no
participate.
A portion of the Thompson de-
cision follows:
"On reconsideration, we also be-
lieve that the respondent company,
discharged the strikers because they
had called and continued a strike
whose purpose was unlawful, anc
that, on this record, the fact that it
momentary motive may have beer
a different one should not altel
the legal effect of its action.
I'VE hold that the doctrine laic
down in the American News cas-,
is applicable to such situation
and that. in accordance Herewith
the complaint should be dismissed
in it's entirety.
1T follows that the strikers ar
entitled neither to reinstatement no.
