Hogs Eat Like
Hogs il Exposed
To 'Niqhi Life"

might life" apparently pays for
hogs just about as it does for
chickens, Frank Webster, Benton
County Extension agent, reports.
What's more, turning on the
lights during these brown-out ev-
enings has stopped the fighting
among hogs which occurs in the
rush to the feeders at daybreak,
according to farmers experience
noted by the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture. III
Most important are the gains
in weight some farmers have dis
covered. The Rural Electrical
ton Administration tells a story
coming from an electric coop in
North Carolina. It seems that an
absent-minded farmer left a light
burning after doing some work
at the pig pen. Much later that
night he returned to the pen to
turn off the light. To his sur
prise, the pigs were up and feed
ing. So he decided to keep the
lights on every night for a while
and watch results. Shoats are re-
ported to have gained up to two
pounds every "a hours-results
which might be worth investigat-
ing.
Another report on the same
subject came from a farmer in
Indiana, who's had apparent sue
cess in fattening hogs by using
electric lights. This farmer marked
several shoats in order to make
regular check. He found that
with all-night lighting, shoats
weighing 80 to 40 pounds gained
one to 11s pounds day. Those
weighing from 40 to 225 pounds
gained from 11s to two pounds a
day.
A second farmer said that us
ing lights increased the number
of hogs he can handle on his feed
ing floor 80 to 40 per cent. No
additional space is required for
feeders or watering equipment.
Webster says these results are
not considered conclusive but he
suggests that it will cost farmers
little to make their own trials.

ivered to the Kennewick club

NO 0"BIG3" MEET SAYS
 PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, March 29.-lH- The White House said today that no Big Three" meeting is in pros pect and President Truman has nc plans to leave the United States.
 Presidential Press Secretary Chas G. Ross made this assertion to a news conference. He had been asked about a report out of London that MT. Truman, Soviet Generalissimo Stalin and British Prime Minister Attlee might meet in Berlin.
 Ross said that beyond denying that a Big Three" meeting is plai7- ned, he could not add to what Mi Truman himself has said on num- erous occasions.
 MT. Truman has said repeatedly that he would be glad to see Stalin and Attlee in the United States, but that he has no intention of leaving the country for any such confer ence.
 From time to time, various people have suggested that discords in Rus American relations might be eased by a personal meeting of MT. Truman and Premier Stalin.
 One of the latest to voice it is Senator Pepper (D-Fla) who pro- posed yesterday that MT. Truman confront Stalin personally with a plan for peace fin a last dramatic effort to prevent the horror of an other unspeakable war

Return 10 Wartime Plan Recommended by MeI-

WASHINGTON, March 29.--tR-- Return of wartime operation of steamship lines to Alaska was re- commended today by a member Of the Maritime Commission
 Grenville Mellon told a House committee on Alaska transportation problems that this step should be taken because of military require ments. He said the service can be operated with the present lines act ing as general agents for the Gov ernment
 We must recognize the import ance of Alaska from a national viewpoint, Mellon said. The Gov ernment should accelerate fortifica- tion of this essential military out post.
 If an enemy foreign power threw us out of Alaska, it would be in fine position to attack our industrial cen- ters."
 Mellon said the Commission will submit to the committee within a week a plan for operation of the lin- es.
 He said they would be able to car " merchandise from any port on the West Coast, including Los An geles, as well as from Seattle. The present service operates from Se- attle. He said the present service, which three companies operate with Government ships, is not flexible enough
 Mellon added service to Alaska should include cooperation by Can- adian ships. And he said he wished there were three highways to the Territory instead of one.

BIG AIR BASE. IDENTIFIED AS. EIELS0N FIELD.
Is Reported Equipped to Accommodate Army's
 Giant B-36 Bomber

DENVER, March 29.-lR-An AL askan air base now is equipped to accommodate the Army Air Forces Giant B-36 bomber, the Denver Post said in a story published last night.
 The hitherto highly-secret base, once known as Mile 26," has been named Eielson Field, and is, accord ing to the Post, so located as to serve for launching air attacks on any spot in the Northern Hemisphere.
 Only three fields in continental United States, aside from Eielson, have been previously announced as capable of handling flights of B. 36's on regular basis. These are To- cated at Fort Worth, Tex, Elgin Field, Fla, and Wright Field, Ohio.
 The story said announcement of Eielson Fields existence was approv- ed only today by proper official sources. Prior to this time, it's exis- tence had been screened behind a cloak of official silence, and even now it's exact location-other than that it is about 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks is guarded information.
 Significance of the announcement was added to the statement earlier this week by Air Secretary Stuart Symington in Washington that our B-29's based in Alaska and Labrador, could make bomb runs over any DOT tion of the Soviet Union.
 The Air Forces have announced that the B-36 could carry an atomic bomb to any inhabited region in the world and return home without re- fueling.
 The plane is designed for normal range of 10000 miles with 10000 pounds, without extra fuel tanks The Air Forces have 100 of the giant six-engined bombers on order.
