POULTRY MANAGEMENT STUDY
REPORTED By RESEARCHERS

A publication titled Influence of
Management Practices on the Pro-
duction of Hatching Eggs has been
released by the poultry department
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.
The authors of the report, w. C.
Skoglund, A. E. Tomhave, and A. f.
Kish. point out that prior to the ex-
pansion of the broiler industry in
this area Matching eggs were usual
ly produced only during the spring
months and no particular manage
ment problems were encountered.
Now with the demand for Matching
eggs during the entire year there
have come with it many problems.
The study included the affect of
accepted management systems on
egg production, egg size, fertility,
hatchability, feed consumption,
mortality and the possible number
OF chicks from each system Of man
agement
The results of this work indicated
that the various management prac-
tices did not influence to any great
extent the yearly production of
Matching eggs. The use of lights
was of considerable value in the
production of eggs when they are
usually scarce and high in price.
The only particular value of
range for birds producing Matching
eggs seemed to be the decreased
mortality.
Poultrymen desiring copies of
this study may obtain them by send
ing request to the Agricultural
Experiment Station Library at the
University of Delaware, Newark.

NEW JET.AND.ROCKET PLANE
DESIGNED FOR SPEEDS FROM
$50 TO $50 MILES PER HOUR

Construction of the Navy's nee
dle-nosed new jet-and-rocket air.
plane, the Skyrocket, designed to
advance the assaults on the sonic
barrier now being made by its sis
ter-plane, the Skystreak, has been
completed at the Ell Segunda, Cali
fornia plant of Douglas Aircraft
Corporation.
Radically different in appearance
from the conventionally designed
Skystreak, the sleek, white-painted
Skyrocket has swept-back wings
and tail, and an increased thrust
which will enable it to approach
considerably closer to the speed of
sound. Powered by a turbo-jet en-
gine, plus the extra thrust of a
liquid-fuel rocket, it is expected
to perform in the 650-750 mile an
hour zone. The Skystreak cur
rently holds the official world speed
record with a mark of 650.6 miles
an hour.
The Skyrocket, designated the
D-55S-2, is the second phase of the
D-558 research airplane project, a
joint undertaking of the Navy, the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics and Douglas Aircraft.
1t will undergo a test-flight pro-
gram at the Air Force Test Center
Muroc Dry Lake, California, and
then be turned over by the Navy
to NACA for an intensive research
program.
The power plants of the Sky
rocket are a Westinghouse FAC tur-
bo-jet engine, developed by the
Navy, and a liquid rocket system
built by Reaction Motors, Inc. Il

ment of air pressure at 400 points
on the wing and tail surfaces. Con-
troll forces and stresses in the
structure will be measured and re-
corded by more than 900 strain
gauges and oscillographs. Readings
of the multitude of standard flight
instruments will be recorded on
motion picture film during the first
flights and control demonstration,
by means of a Photographic flight
recorder.

Mr.. Vundenberq's Role

In his eloquent speech on Amerl-
can aid to Greece and Turkey, Sen
ator Vandenberg has done more
than show that the Presidents pro-
posed program is both sound and
necessary. In personal sense
and of course without seeking to do
so-he has demonstrated once again
his statesmanlike stature. Before
the war he was numbered among
the isolationists. During the war,
undergoing a profound intellectual
conversion, he came to see the world,
and his country's relation to it, i'll
an entirely fresh light. With ad-
mirable forthrightness. refusing to
be bound by any narrow consistency,
he lost no time in making clear that
he had moved forward-far forward
to new ground. Today no one in
the United States speaks with
greater force or intelligence on our
towering responsibilities in the
family of nations.
Mr.. Vandenberg's role within re-
cent years has been truly remark
able. He played key part in the
founding of the United Nations at
San Francisco. While his party was
in the minority in the Senate, his
counsel loomed large in the de-
liberations of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers. AS the Republican mem

did as much as he to make our

Importance When last November's
elections changed the control of
Congress and raised him to the
craftsmanship of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, he decided that
his new responsibilities would not
permit him to continue his direct
participation in diplomatic meetings
abroad. Events have since shown
that this was a wise decision. His
presence has been needed in the
Senate; it is needed now when in
ternational issues press from every
side and demand the kind of vision
and craftsmanship he has displayed.
The United States is fortunate in
having this man at the head of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. His position on aid to Greece
and Turkey is typical of his capacity
to give enlightened leadership in
matters that are at once complex
and fateful not only for our own
country but for the world as well

Adoption Uncertainties

Adoption proceedings, said the
United States Court of Appeals In a
recently decided case, "are Of such
nature that the law in respect to
them should be clearly understood" ;"
But it is an unfortunate fact, which
the courts comment has served to
emphasize, that tie local adoption
law is not clearly understood by
lawyers or laymen.
The case which prompted the
courts statement Is evidence, in it
self, of the conflict and confusion
over the statute which have pre-
vailed even among the judges. Dur
ing its two. years course through
the courts the suit was decided first
in favor of the foster parents by the
District Court. then was reversed by
the Court of Appeals. retired by the
lower court ard decided this time in
favor of the natural parents and
finally affirmed by the appellate
court. Thus, after two years of bit
ter contest, three-year- child
has been taken from the only par
ents it has known since birth-an
act conceded by the court to be
harsh but dictated by its interpre-
tation of the law.
In reaching this decision, the
Court of Appeals implicitly criti-
cized the District Court for not
formulating rules that would leave
no uncertainties In the minds OF
persons desiring to adopt children.
Justice Prettyman of the appellate
court pointed out that the adoption
statute authorizes the District Court
to draw up such rules, with a view
to protecting the rights of all con-
cerned. 1t is obvious that the con-
flict in the courts over the exact
requirements of the adoption law
has created confusion and doubt
that tend to discourage adoption of
children in this jurisdiction. There
exists the constant fear that the
courts may take an adopted child
away from its foster parents
through some new Interpretation of
the law.
The District Bar Association, long
aware of the need for clarification
of the adoption rules, has come for
ward With a timely set of recon-
mendations designed to eliminate
existing antiquities. The recon-
mendations, resulting from studies
made by Assistant Corporation
Counsel John j. Donnelly, jr., would
provide the court with a basic guide
for handling adoption cases. Such
a standard guide is necessary if
foster parents are to be spared un-
necessary worries and heartaches in
the future.

After Two Years

It Is an interesting fact, II not a
significant one, that Harry S.
Truman, two years after becoming
President Of the United States, has
grown in political stature despite a
period of political adversely for his
party.
This Is paradox which cannot
be ascribed to any single cause. For
one thing, Mr.. Truman himself is
a changed man. When he took up
the heavy responsibilities that de-
volved upon him with the death of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he ap-
peared to be obsessed with convic-
ton of his own inadequacy. Uncer-
tain of himself, he seemed content
to adopt the program of his prede-
cessor and follow as best he could
the Roosevelt footsteps. Then there
followed a series of egregious
blunders, no one of them especially
important in itself, but destructive
of public confidence in their cumu-
lative effect There were also incl
dents which seemed deplorably
political in character, incidents
which appeared to stamp the Pres
ident as a partisan rather than
national leader.
But it Is a safe assertion that
through it ALL. Mr.. Truman was
finding himself. The indecisiveness,
the lack of self confidence, gradu-
ally disappeared, and by the time of
the railroad strike he was prepared
to act with marked firmness in the
public interest. In the field of
domestic as well as foreign affairs
he developed a program of his own.
And after the November elections,
which brought his party stunning
defeat, the evidence is persuasive
that Mr.. Truman decided to put
narrow partisan politics aside.
Today, after two years in office,
he gives every impression of being
a man who knows what he wants
to do, of being President who is
resolved to be guided, not by con-
siderations of expediency, but by
what he believes to be right.
OF course, this may not last. Hard
tests lie ahead for Mr.. Truman in
his relations with the Republican
Congress, and presidential election
is in the offing. Yet as of today
it can hardly be doubted that the
main source of Mr.. Truman's growth
and strength lies in the widely held
conviction that he is trying his best
to be President of all the people,
that he is placing primary emphasis
on doing the things he believes
ought to be done.
There are those who say that in
our political system a man cannot
pursue this course and still be sue
cessful at the polls. There are
others, however, who dissent, who
refuse to accept the proposition
that unworthy compromises and
shabby expedients necessarily go
hand-in-hand with success at the
polls and effective government,
Those in the latter group have
longed to see this tested, and it is
beginning to look as though Harry
Truman may provide the test.
