Bio Black Farmers
Hear Former Agent
Al Holmes Jr. College

The Big Black Farmers Club held
its regular meeting at Holmes Junior
College Thursday night, July 10th.
There was a large crowd present
and Mr.. w. r. Thompson, former
Assistant County Agent of Holmes
County, now Extension Agronomist,
made a very impressive talk on pas
lures and winter grazing.
Cotton Moin Crop
Mr.. Thompson pointed out that
cotton was still the leading crop in
the state of Mississippi and in Hol.
mes County, but that was more
room for improvement in livestock
in this area. He stated that 1t is
necessary for us to balance agrlcul-
ture with agriculture, that is balance
our farming program in order that
we will have a steady monthly in
come from cotton, corn, livestock,
fruits and other farm produce. Mr.
Thompson stated that pasture could
be improved without the use of act
ual cash to the farmer and that there
are four steps in doing this job: ID
Cut brairs. (2) Cut bushes. CD Nov
your pasture. "a Cross fence. These
steps mostly involve farm labor and
can be done when no other work
can be done on the farm.
Hove Native Grasses
We have all of the native grasses
and clovers that we need in max
ing a good pasture. Mr.. Thompson
stated that so percent grass and 5C
percent clover make ideal pastures
Our white Dutch clover and yellow
hop and crimson clover make ex-
cellent early grazing. Our l%espedeza
dallis grass, Bermuda grass and
other native grasses make excellen,
summer grazing.
Winter Gruzing
Winter grazing is very profitable
to beef and dairy farmers. Oats seem
to be the best winter grazing pro-
gram that we have. Three to four
bushels of oats per acre fertilizeo
with 35 to 40 pounds of pure nitro
gen per acre at the time of planting
the latter part of August or the first
of September will pay $500 to $50

Compete and Live

America, workers take pride In
their ability to do hard jobs well.
They are willing to let merit be the
Judge OF their handiwork. Such traits
as speed, . accuracy, stamina, de-
pendability, and initiative are what
get q fellow ahead.
America has seen this kind Of
competition make real men. In turn
these free men have made Amer
lea. Every worker, no matter
whether he makes s of strong
hand or agile mind, puts his faith in
the trading of the valuable commod-
tiles he possesses to his employer.
Competition is good policy for crafts
men. athletes, scholars, fishermen,
shopkeepers, and American bust
ness In general. The American peo-
pie have reasoned wisely that COM
petition in industry must be main
tanned so that the whole nation may
benefit.
Enforced Agreements
Does competition on the level Of
labor have any value for the welfare
of the nation? 1t is obvious that our
industry, of which labor is a part,
I exists for the sake of those who con-
sumo goods. Policies that add unE
reasonably to the costs of goods, or
any other non-competitive practices,
endanger the free economy that
made us great.
Closed-shop agreements, usually
signed by management under du-
ress, present this kind of danger.
The non : competitive monopolistic
nature of such enforced c~losed-shop
agreements is apparent. Labor
groups themselves need the stimulus
of fair competition, for the sake Of
improved service. Unions need not
find their only competition with en-
ployers. Rather, management and
labor have need of cooperation, for
they complement each other.
Too Dangerous
Mr.. Gunnar Anderson, executive
vice-president Of the Federation Of
Swedish Labor Unions, told me that
800 Of Swedish labor belongs to
unions. Yet, he informed me, the
Federation of Labor Unions is UNI
alterably opposed to the closed shop.
They feel that the closed shop is
a~ntagonistic to the very principle Of
freedom which labor unions enjoy
and which they must help defend in
their own interest.
A universal closed shop in Amer
lea would amount to one tremendous
monopoly of non-competitive labor,
with the premium placed on medi-
ocrity. This would also make labor
more powerful than any plain Amer
lean would wish. Any segment as
powerful as that, either would be
actual head of a to~talitarian govern
ment, or would be so powerful that
only a totalitarian state could deal
with such a power. A national closed
shop is too dangerous for America,
and would mean the end of free
labor unions.
Labor wants no such regime,
whether you call it fascist, commu-
mist, or by some other fancy name
that may yet appear. Under any
other system you can think of, as
compared with a free America, Ia
Dor would be the loser. In Nazi
Germany, Hitler found it necessary
to protect his totalitarian state by
abolishing labor unions. In Russia,
Stain simply run them. There's
every reason why we must avoid
monopolies of either labor or indus
try, and instead must foster compe-
tition in every way.

0vereII-GoI|um Trial Due
To Go 10 Jury Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

SANTA ANA. Calf, Oct. 2.-Out
of the welter of words that has en-
gulfed the Overell yacht blast muir
der trial for 10 weeks, a jury prob
ably will take the case tomorrow fol
q decision.
Six men and six women will de-
eide whether 18-year- -old Louise

State alleges, by blundgeoning them
and then dynamiting their yacht
last March Is.
Gollum's counsel, S. B. kaufman
opened the last of the defense
arguments today and was expected
to finish late this afternoon. Pros
ecutor Eugene Williams was pre-
pared to wind up the longest MUIR
der trial on record with plea to
the jury for the death sentence for
Gollum and life imprisonment for
his sweetheart.
William Beirne, Gollum's co-coun-
sci, spoke for more than three
hours yesterday, Systematically at
lacking what he said were loop
holes in the prosecutions case. He
sassailed police and medical teSti-
sinony of the State and at times
had his youthful client rocking

The Arnold Lines in August told
the ICC that prompt action was re-
quired on its plea for increased
fares. "Our financial house is burn
ing down." the company pleaded.
It asked that the commission
either approve the general increases
proposed earlier in the year or the
limited boosts approved by the ex-
aminer-"whichever can be made
the quicker"
Earlier the ICC denied an Arnold
request that the proposed increases
be placed in effect on five days
notice.
Poor Service Cited.
Referring to protests made at
hearings last June, the commission
said the principal argument OF op-
ponents to a fare increase was that
"the service was and is so unsatis-
factory that the present fares are
excessive for the service received. u
''The company conceded the serv-
ice was bad and breakdowns fire.
quent," the commission continued,
that trips missed because of break
downs were not made up, and that
passengers might easily have waited
an hour or more for service, and also
admitted that some of the buses were
in such bad condition that on one
steep hill the passengers must alight
at the bottom and walk to the top
because such vehicles are in no con-
dition to carry such a load to the
top.
THE company maintains, however,
that the service is improving largely
because of the new equipment but
that it can become satisfactory only
with an increase in fares"
Accounts Examined.
The commission statement exam

and expenditure accounts. 1t dis

and suggested readjustment of vari-
Gus charges against revenue.

Montgomery Police
To Report Today in
Nursery School Case

A report on conditions at the Hite
Nursery School, on the Rockville
pike, about which a Washington
couple complained Monday in with
drawing their two children from its
care, was to be presented today to
States Attorney Walter w. Dawson
of Montgomery County.
The report was prepared by three
detectives who inspected the school
yesterday in company with a physi-
clan, after Mr.. and Mrs. Ronald
Langlotz, 1921 Connecticut avenue
NV, complained they found their
children locked in an overheated,
freshly painted room.
The States attorneys Office, it
; was said, also has received COM
: plants from other parents of lack of
. hot water, improper food, and that
their children often suffered from
colds.
. To Charge License Violation.
. Mr.. Dawson has announced he
will present to the November grand
jury a charge that the school is being
. operated without a license from the
State Department of Public Welfare.
! Owner of the school is Mrs. Maude
. c. Hite.
p. The three detectives, Capt. Theo-
dore F. Vollten, and Corpls. William
Whalen and Carroll Miller, in
spected the school for about two
hours with DR.. William Linthicum
Rockville, who examined several of
the children.
+. At the conclusion of the inspec-
ton, Capt. Vollten said he would
confer this morning with the other
two detectives before submitting
report to Mr.. Dawson. He refused
to reveal his findings pending COM
,pletion of the report.
DR.. Linthicum also refused to
.divulge results of his examinations,
adding he would report them to-
day to the States attorney.
Meanwhile, officials of the State
Department of Public Welfare said
Mrs. Hite first applied for license
in August, 1914, and was given a
"long opportunity to qualify before
the license could be issued.
. In May, 1916, according to de-
partment spokesman, the applica-
ton was formally denied and the
case was referred to the then States
Attorney Joseph B. Simpson, jr., for
possible prosecution. No action was
taken by Mr. Simpson, however.
4. Several months ago, the spokes-
man said, the department brought
the matter to Mr.. Dawson's atten-
ton under terms of new law
Swhich makes it compulsory for
States attorneys of the various
counties to conduct Investigations
at the request of the State agency.

planation," and charged to expenses
of officers of the company. The ex.
pense items In 1947 have been on q
more modest SCALE" :
Taken as q whole they do not
appear to be proper charges for op-
Grating expense" the commission
stated. I'm view Of their relative
insignificance, however, they are
assumed to be legitimate expenses.
Boost Held Not Excessive.
The commission estimated, or
the basis of the reported daily
average Of 10000 passengers, that
each increase of l cent in the
fares would increase company reve-
nues by approximately $1,000 a
month. A 2.5 cent increase in token
fares, assuming that all riders used
tokens, would increase revenues
about $25, 900 a month, the commits
sion found.
I'm our opinion an increase OF
this amount is not excessive" the
commission stated. I'VE believe,
however, for the reasons herein
after stated, that the proposed fares
to and from the sixth zones are
not justified"
Increased labor costs and an in
dicated drop in revenues were the
main reasons for "a substantial
deterioration in the company's
operating situation in recent
months" the commission said. The
company's net loss from last jan
uary l to May 81 was $120,932 "a
TIE report showed.
The present pay scale, including
wage increases obtained in May
1916, is about 10 per cent higher
than the 1945 level, the commission
noted.

demanded in negotiations in process
for a new contract" the commission

"As it stands now" he asserted,

Lester r. Conley, a member of the

ready being considered by the PUG

appropriate will be taken to protect
the interest Of the public" He de-
clined to elaborate.

Police said he was cocky and

Office. Edwards has record dating
back to 1884, when he violated pro-
baton on a housebreaking charge
and was committed to the Industrial
Home School for three years. Later
he was arrested on several occasions
for robbery and twice for automobile
theft.
He said he was on probation from
Jackson (Mich0 penitentiary and
that he had served in the Army. Po-
lice were checking to see if he was
AWOL.
The other man said he was Will
liam Gustafson, 10. of the 600 block
of H street NV. Police said he had
been committed to the National
Training School for a juvenile Of
fense.
In Alexandria, police reported a
safe robbery in which at least $500
was taken.
The $500 was taken from a safe
at the Paulsam Distributing Co.,
101 Luke street, by thieves who
either found the safe unlocked or
solved the combination, police said
The heavy, 31ax21a foot safe was
moved out of the Office into larger
room before it was opened, police
said. The front door was pried open
to gain entrance.

ton, which is expected by the end
Of this month.
Although the contract was to have
governed conditions of admittance
In 1947, it was not determined
whether the new rates would be
retroactive to the first of the year.
It is retroactive "in principle"
Chest spokesman pointed out, but
whether adjustments can be made
to the hospital depends on how well
the money actually appropriated for
1947-$464, ,000-holds out in the re-
manning months.
No Date of Expiration.
No date of expiration was set for
the new contract, which will remain
in effect until superseded or
amended"
From estimates already made by
hospital officials and the HSA itself,
it is evident that a sizeable over
subscription in the Chest campaign
will be necessary to permit payment
of the $3.50 rate which all the
agencies agree is desirable.
The Hospital Council and HSA
originally set their 1948 hospitaliza-
ton fund needs at $6S2, ,0O0 plus an
estimated revenue of 100000 from
partial payments - INDECENT pa
tients, from which an administra-
tive budget of about 100000 was to
be deducted. &,
This figure was reached by adding
to the average number of HSA
patients for the first four months of
1947 the estimated increase in
charity patients next year, and
multiplying the estimated patient
days by the new, higher rates.
Figures Were Cut.
The Chests Budget Committee
first whitfield these figures to S6O4,-
300 and $180,0o0 by eliminating any
allowance for an increase in patient
load, then dropped the hospitaliza-
ton fund estimate to $493, 900 in a
general proportionate reduction of
all budget requests to bring the
total Chest budget down to $780,
900, the figure Chest authorities
considered a reasonable" approx
nation OF actual revenues from
their drive.
Other provisions of the new HSA
contract which have been the sub
ject of some controversy include
the requirement that HSA submit
its proposed operating expenses in
advance to the Chest Federation
which, after consultation with the
Hospital Council, will approve or
revise it. Heretofore, the agency
has retained control over funds it
collects. These will now be pooled
With the Chests general hospitali-
cation fund.
The hospitals agreed that in
digent cases would all be certified
by HSA prior to admission, except
fer emergency cases and those
where hardship would result If the
normal certification procedure were
followed.
