U.S.-British Plan
 Increased German Steel Production
(By Richard Kasischke)

BERLIN, (P)-A western Ger many with an industrial capacity about equal to 1886 was envisaged today by the United States and Great Britain in a new level-Of- industry plan providing for annual steel production of l0,700,000 in got tons.
 Under the plan, the U. s. and British zones, to relieve the bur den on American and British tax payers, would produce Is per cent more exports than the same areas did in l936-three years before Germany started World War Ito bring in S2,OOO,OOO,OOO a year.
 The new plan was a revision of the four-power level el-of-industry and separations agreement of March, 1946. In announcing it. the U. s. and British military gov ernors-Gen. Lucius D. Clay and air chief marshal Sir Sholto Doug laS-termed the low ceiling set in that agreement ''unrealistic." Under the fOur-poWer plan, the steel ceiling for all Germany was 5,800,000 tons. Under the British American plan, the British and U. s. zones alone would produce nearly double that.
 Disclosure of the plan followed by two days the close of a six-day conference of the U. s. Britain and France in London during which German industry was dis cuSSed.

Ranchers Use New Type Pen
For Branding and Tatio0ing

CHICAGO.-The ball-pen is re-
placing the branding iron and tattoo
needle on many farms and ranches
throughout the country. Branding"
of registered cattle and "tattooing"
of rabbits, sheep and other small
stock is being speeded up and sim
plified through use of the unique
writing instrument, letters re-
ceived here by Eversharp reveal.
Farmers, ranchers, stock breeders
and poultrymen are finding that ball
pens Tighten one of the most time
consuming and onerous of farm
chores, the letters indicate.
In the case of cattle and smaller
stock the branding is usually done
in the ear, where the owner writes
the animals register number or 9TH
er identifying symbols. A small
wooden clamp then is applied briefly
to press the permanent ink firmly
into the flesh where the mark res
portedly remains for the animals
lifetime.
Chickens are marked either on the
upper leg or under the wings, as
are turkeys, ducks and pigeons. One
beekeeper reported that the pen had
saved him countless hours in put
ting proper identity marks on queen
bees. The smooth ball, he declared,
prevents injury to the insects and
the quick-drying ink does not smear
or blur, in contrast to the brush and
paint method he formerly employed.
In other fields the ball-pen is be-
ing used to outline areas for X-ray
treatment, to mark prescription
symbols on optical glass, to indicate
lines along which lapidaries cut
gems, for outlining patterns on wood,
glass, leather, plastics and cloth
and for some SO other novel pur-
poses for which the conventional pen
is unsuited, letters received indi-
cate.

Babies Face Greater
Danger Than Troops
Chief Of Children's Bureau Tells
OF Perils.

WASHINGTON. katherine E. F.
Lenroot, chief of the labor depart
ment children's bureau, says it is
more dangerous to be a baby in
America than it was to be in
combat during World War II.
Between Pearl Harbor and VI
Day, 430,00 babies died for lack of
good medical and hospital care
nearly twice the number of men
killed in action" Miss Lenroot told
the annual Women's Patriotic Con-
ference on National Defense.
More than ], 1000 women, represent
ing 20 patriotic organizations, at
tended.
Miss Lenroot reported consider
able progress has been made in the
last generation, asserting: LESS
than 40 children in 1000 died before
their first birthday, as compared
with 100 in every 1000 thirty years
ago."
While much has been done toward
eliminating childhood communicable
diseases, she predicted one child in
20 will spend part of his life in a
mental institution if the present rate
of mental diseases continues.
Right now 10000 children under
10 years of age suffer from rheu-
matte heart disease, one million
from hearing defects, four million
from visual defects and 20 million
from dental defects, she said.
Frieda S. Miller, director of the
labor department women's bureau,
said Americas peacetime economy
needs women and is geared to
have millions of them in the labor
force.
Women employed reached an all
time high of nearly 10 million in
mid-1944 and now is only one million
less than year ago, she said.
Asserting that with few excep-
tons, women work for the same
reasons men do, she urged the
combined effort of mutual help of
all women of America" to lessen in
equalities in opportunities and COM
pensations.
